AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No.
For Meeting Of March 7, 2006
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of Resolution declaring support for numerous short term (interim) and
long term efforts to impr ve conditions in areas of need within the City of Yakima.
SUBMITTED BY: \, i liam Cook, Director, Community & Economic Development
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Bill Cobabe, Manager, Neighborhood
Development Services (509) 575-6101
The purpose of this resolution is to acknowledge on-going efforts within our community and to meet
HUD requirements for a City participation in this effort using Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds. This resolution does not require any budget or program changes.
The City of Yakima is an annual recipient of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds. The Yakima City Council has chosen to invest part of these funds on programs to improve
neighborhood living conditions, such as Code Enforcement and Paint out Graffiti. Under HUD
regulations, such items can be charged to the federal grant in either of two ways: Community
Services or Interim Assistance. The Community Services category is subject to a 15% cap. At
current funding levels, we will exceed this cap in 2006. This requires that we either reduce
expenses for these successful programs, or charge them to the Interim Assistance category. Since
these programs are so beneficial, we do not think it wise to cut back current programs in order to
reduce expenses. We need to meet the requirements to use Interim Assistance.
HUD has told us that in order to use the interim assistance we must have a resolution from the City
Council in HUD specified terms recognizing the need for and acknowledging the short-term (interim)
things that are being done until specific, more permanent solutions can take effect. This resolution
is attached for Council action.
Not all of the efforts need to be paid for, sponsored, or led by the City; we simply need to
acknowledge that their purpose is neighborhood improvement. The resolution specifies that some
of the efforts are intended to be temporary, lasting only until a more permanent solution can
become effective.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
COUNCIL ACTION: Resolution adopted. RESOLUTION NO. R-2006-30
The resolution states that because of objectively determinable evidence of need including physical
deterioration of housing, buildings and infrastructure it is essential that the City and its partners take
certain steps. Among the identified needs are trash and debris, graffiti, code violations, and
deteriorating infrastructure. Both immediate and longer-term actions are necessary to arrest this
deterioration. Activities and programs initiated by the City, its partners, and others are having a
positive impact on the area and need to continue.
Among the interim and permanent programs underway and planned for this area are:
• Chamber of Commerce Downtown Pride: a major downtown area clean-up effort
• Paint out Graffiti
• Downtown Futures Initiative
• Committee for Downtown Yakima
• Alley Cleanup
• Code Enforcement
• Increased Police Patrols
• Historic Preservation
• Infrastructure Replacement
Each of these things is already being done. Many of the activities being done to bring long-term
change to our community and are sponsored and paid for by outside entities like the Chamber of
Commerce or our downtown organizations. Those that use CDBG or other City of Yakima funds
were planned and budgeted in the City's 2006 budget, and are not changing. The resolution simply
recognizes their short and long term role in bringing about the desired change.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
"A Commitment to Excellence"
October 2005
Introduction
Diocese of Yakima Housing Services (DYHS) is a faith -based, Washington
State 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation established in December 1998 to
offer locally based affordable housing solutions to local communities in the
7 -county jurisdiction of the Catholic Diocese of Yakima. This area includes
Klickitat, Yakima, Benton, Kittitas, Grant, Chelan and Douglas Counties.
DYHS also works to establish a service enriched living environment for all
the projects it develops where education, self -empowerment and self-
sufficiency are promoted to benefit all tenants and clients. DYHS currently
owns and manages 231 rental housing units in 8 rural Central Washington
communities serving over 1,100 people daily.
Working with local Catholic parishes, community groups and others
sponsors, DYHS works to develop, own and manage a variety of affordable
housing developments including Agricultural Worker family rental housing,
migrant Agricultural Worker seasonal housing, senior and special needs
housing and single-family home ownership. DYHS also works to promote
partnerships with local communities, collaboration and networking with
other housing and community development entities as well as advocacy at a
policy level for the housing cause and clients we serve.
Affordable Housing Development
DYHS offers development assistance for multi -family and single family
home ownership housing. Working with development consultants, DYHS
offers full housing development services including: feasibility analysis, pre -
development technical assistance, housing needs analysis, land assembly,
development technical assistance, financing packaging, design and total cost
assessment, construction assistance including monitoring and draw
processing, compliance assurance for financing requirements including
those required by local lenders, the State of Washington, USDA Rural
Development, Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle Affordable Housing
Program and the State Low Income Housing Tax Credit program, assistance
with marketing and rent up, ongoing management of rental facilities and
homebuyer education.
DYHS always seeks to develop its housing developments with attention to maintaining a high level
of quality and excellence within budget constraints. This includes a preference for the highest life
cycle value for all materials and specifications, priority for "green" and sustainable building
methods and maximizing development standards related to site design suitability to create the best
service -enriched and resident friendly environment possible.
DYHS always seek to partner with local parishes, interested community groups and others in its
development efforts. Working with local communities DYHS seeks to develop and manage housing
from a strategic and planned perspective focusing on regional development. When feasible,
properties are developed seeking to concentrate projects in regional clusters or from a "hub -based"
approach in a given geographical area. This also includes seeking when feasible, to develop single
family projects as a follow up to multi -family housing to meet a locally identified continuum of
housing need.
Affordable Housing Management
Using quality contract management, DYHS owns and oversees operations of all the rental housing it
develops. Using a regional, "hub based" clustered approach to housing development enables DYHS
to maximize efficient facilities management and maintain better contact with clients for efficient
delivery of resident / client empowerment activities and services. Using this approach the agency
seeks to manage the housing it develops at a high level of quality, service and fiscal efficiency.
Typically, all single family housing transfers ownership to program clients. However, in an effort to
achieve the highest level of program success, DYHS maintains contact with single family program
participants after occupancy to monitor program success and to meet commitments made by
program participants in compliance with requirements of project funding.
Once projects are established, housing operations are carried out by site staff and housing
management operations interface seamlessly with resident empowerment /services efforts in that
site management staff are key to promoting the ongoing education programs afforded at all sites.
This on site management presence is also supportive in variety of ways to new development of both
single- and multi -family projects in the same area. By having a physical location from which
development staff can base new development efforts has proven to be very beneficial. Finally,
efficiencies in other management areas such as site maintenance and repairs are realized by
managing units from this "hub -based" approach.
Asset Management
Working with our contract management company, DYHS assumes full responsibility for all matters
related to the asset management responsibilities of all real estate developed. This includes 1)
ensuring compliance with all regulatory and financing commitments made for all public and private
funding including completing annual reports, periodic financial reports, tax returns and annual
audits, 2) annual compilation and systematic oversight of all operating budgets ensuring that all
projects operate efficiently at budget with vacancy rates at or below 5% 3) ensuring that all housing
operations are monitored and evaluated regularly so that operations meet quality standards with
regards to site upkeep, repairs and unit turnovers, and 4) ensuring that all housing operations are
monitored to ensure the maintenance of proper reserves and that operations meet all industry
standards for per unit annual costs.
Resident Services, Empowerment and Organizing
Ministry of Management
The DYHS Services Coordinator works with each site manager and tenant population at each
individual site to help establish a service enriched environment where tenants can work to maintain a
quality living environment and participate in social and educational programs that provide opportunity
for community building, self improvement and empowerment. This is primarily accomplished by the
establishment of Resident Associations where tenants assist in the process of 1) setting up an
association where tenants assist with governance and help identify activities and programs they would
like to see carried out on site and, 2) helping DYHS identify tenant concerns and suggestions to receive
input on how the housing can be better managed to the benefit of all. All site tenants can be a member
of these Associations. These activities are called the "Ministry of Management" program.
Raices Initiative
As a natural next step coming out of the Ministry of Management program, DYHS has helped
established the "Raices Initiative". This is a tenant based organizing program that seeks to engage
tenants from all DYHS developments in organizing and advocacy efforts focused on addressing social
and community issues of concern as identified by the tenants themselves. The goal of this initiative is
to work with tenants to collaboratively effect long term systemic and institutional change to systems,
policies and attitudes that tenants have identified cause marginalization and adversely impact them and
their families. Addressing these concerns directly with decision makers is a key objective for the
Raices Initiative. To this end a new 501 (c) (3) non profit organization has been created named the
Raices Corporation. Tenants form the membership and officers for this corporation. DYHS is assisting
with the training of the Board and members and current work is focused on identifying and prioritizing
issues to be addressed within the next two years.
Advocacy and Networking
DYHS seeks to work with local communities and other community development experts in a planned
community development strategy for communities within area of the Diocese of Yakima. This is called
Strategic Community Housing and Economic Development (SCHED) Planning. Through the SCHED
process DYHS seeks to engage in affordable housing development and management efforts as part of a
larger community development plan. Others with expertise in areas such as health, economic
development, job creation and education are invited to be part of a SCHED discussion with local
jurisdictions to identify community concerns and priorities and from that dialogue and collaboration,
local housing solutions are implemented.
DYHS always seeks to network and collaborate with others as it advocates for and implements
affordable housing strategies throughout the Diocese. Advocacy and networking efforts include
membership on the Board of Directors for the Washington State Farmworker Housing Trust, the
Washington Low Income Housing Alliance and the Federal Home Loan Bank Affordable Housing
Program Advisory Committee. DYHS is also actively working with groups including the Yakima
Valley Home Ownership Fair Committee sponsored by the U.S. Department of HUD and the
Washington State Catholic Conference on legislative matters. DYHS is also a member of the Housing
Section for Catholic Charities USA. Finally, DYHS has been the recipient of several state and national
awards including the "Friend of Housing Award" from the Washington State Housing Finance
Commission, the "Skip Jason Community Service Award" from the Housing Assistance Council and
the "Family Strengthening Award" from Catholic Charities USA and the Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Supportive Housing for the Elderly (Section 202)
Provides assistance to expand the supply of housing with supportive services for the elderly.
Nature of Program: Capital advances, rather than direct loans as previously provided under
Section 202, are made to eligible private, nonprofit sponsors to finance the development of rental
housing with supportive services for the elderly. The advance is interest free and does not have
to be repaid so long as the housing remains available for very low-income elderly persons for at
least 40 years. Project rental assistance covers the difference between the HUD -approved
operating cost of the project and the tenants' contributions toward rent (usually 30 percent of
monthly adjusted income).
Applicant Eligibility: Private, nonprofit organizations and consumer cooperatives may qualify
for assistance. Occupancy is open to very low-income households which include at least one
person 62 years of age or older. o`+ / �o� 1 I iH O 0 — 1 C\,S 00 i F'r tp P

(i)
Description of How Project Will Remain Viable
DYHS is committed to the long-term viability of this project, the provision of supportive
services, and the successful aging -in-place of its residents. Project viability is dependent on the
following factors:
1. Appropriate and trained management — including fiscal and accounting staff.
2. Timely maintenance: maintenance plan.
3. Funding for supportive services.
(i) Funding for Supportive Services
The owner board will contract with DYHS to provide service coordination on site. Funding for
this part-time position will include HUD Service Coordination dollars that will be figured into
the annual operating budget. If additional funds are needed, the owner will apply to the City of
Yakima for Community Development Block Grant dollars and/or United Way of Yakima
County. Other possible sources may also include support from DYHS and its parent company
Catholic Diocese.
(ii) State funded Services
We do not anticipate state funding for supportive services. Our research found no state funded
flow specifically for supportive services.
(iii) Vacancies
The population 60 years of age and older in Yakima County mirrors that of the rest of the state.
This population is expected to double in the next ten years. A significant number of these older
adults will continue to be low income, frail and need housing and services that are affordable.
Most HUD Section 202 projects in the state have little, if any, vacancies. Vacancies that do exist
are primarily the result of:
1) Turnaround Time During Verification. It is critical that the management agent continuously
maintain a waiting list with at least three prospective tenants,
2) Turnaround Time to Refurbish Unit after Tenant Vacates. Upon receiving proper move -out
notification, management must have a contract and/or vendor available for refurbishing the
unit or have the maintenance staff capacity to refurbish in-house.
3) Accessibility, Safety and Location. These issues specifically relate to projects located in the
City of Yakima many projects have no or limited handicap accessibility and most are located
in a high crime downtown core area. The Rose of Mary project will be fully accessible and
located in a low crime neighborhood.
4) Limited or no handicap accessibility in existing and aging inventory.
The management agent will also ensure that the project complies with 5 to 10 year maintenance
and replacement plan and a preventative maintenance plan that includes health, safety,
inspections, etc.
In addition, there is little likelihood that the population we serve will wane over time. Older age
groups grow faster than most other age groups. If current projections prove accurate, the 55+
population in Yakima County will add 16,354 people between 2000 and 2020. This growth in
the senior population is described in detail in Exhibit 4.
13
(j) Description of efforts to remove barriers to affordable housing.
The City of Yakima 2005 — 2009 Consolidated Plan (Strategic Plan) identifies several chief
needs that relate to this application. These needs can also be described as barriers.
• Parts of the City of Yakima do not appear clean and vital.
• Individual neighborhoods lack the resources needed to ensure safety and quality of life,
and to provide basic services and utilities.
• Much of Yakima's affordable housing stock is inadequate.
• There is a concentration of poverty of the City's east side.
■ Yakima's residents of various age groups including youth and seniors need quality
education and recreational opportunities.
The City of Yakima Consolidated Plan 2005-2009 Strategic Plan response is to:
• Encourage properly planned growth and development is a priority for the City
• The City of Yakima conducted an analysis of its policies; procedures and fees in an effort
to determine what impact these might have on future development. Improvements have
been made to improve technology as well as efficiently and effectively streamline various
information such as in the permit area, etc.
• The local structure of charges and assessments for development were evaluated for
appropriateness. Fees were found to be comparable with the lower range of fees charged
by similar cities throughout the state.
■ Standards have been set for street and sidewalk improvements as development takes
place including the cost of a project.
Additional efforts to remove barriers include:
• DYHS is working with the City of Yakima regarding zoning laws. DYHS will be
approved for re -zoning for this project site.
• In July 2004, HUD Seattle hosted a Round Table regarding America's Affordable
Communities Initiative, to specifically discuss barriers to affordable housing. Both the
Executive Director and President of DYHS attended as well as a representative from the
City of Yakima Community Development.
■ Communication between the sponsor and City officials will continue in order to design
and implement safe, affordable housing for low-income populations of the City of
Yakima.
• The Rose of Mary Terrace project addresses many of the barriers listed above. It will be
located outside the City's east side where there is a concentration of poverty and crime.
The site is strategically located in an area that is safe, clean and within walking distance
to services and recreation. Its handicap accessibility in structure and surrounding
grounds will also reduce the barriers many seniors face as they age and experience
reduced mobility.

Dear Mario
t am writing to you to offer my support on behalf of Aging & Long Term
Care for your eat is to build a law -income housing facility in Yaldrna's
West Valley. As an Area Agency on Aging we work to help seniors identify
needs and access what is available in our community. We have seniors who
face multiple challenges daily as they try to survive on limited incomes. We
often hear of folks who are forced to choose between medication
theyTo need
and food to eat because their money lust doesn't stretch fa gh-
have
affordable housing is a huge step in maintining a positive quality of life for
these folks. f am excited with all the possibilities that additional housingpossible.

Dear Mario,
I am writing this letter in support of your application for HUD 202 funding for the
construction of Rose of Mary Terrace.
Low income seniors within the City of Yakima will greatly benefit from the creation of
40 units of high quality senior housing that will be both affordable and appropriate for
them.
The City of Yakima has a number of senior communities; most are located closer to the
downtown corridor. Parking is often not available, and frail seniors may find it difficult to
access services. Also, many existing buildings are not accessible residents who may need
to use wheelchairs, walkers or other assistive devices.
The chosen location for Rose of Mary is excellent. Residents will have good access to a
number of medical and dental providers, grocery stores, pharmacies and many other
services within walking distance. They will be on a main transit line providing good
access to transportation and will be only a mile from our new Senior Activity Center.
The City of Yakima can offer more than just a letter in support of the development of
Rose of Mary Terrace. We have scheduled a time for the City Council to discuss your
pending application for HOME dollars in the amounts of $200,000 00 for the current
fiscal year. We anticipate a positive outcome from this discussion.
As we begin planning our 2006 HOME funded activities, we will include plans to
provide an additional $200,000.00 for next year. We also look forward to assisting you
with the necessary land use items (including expedited plan review and permit approval)
that will need to be processed as you move forward with development.
Please keep us advised as to the status of your applications with HUD, and thank you for
the opportunity to assist with in your development programs.
Sincerely,
Bill Cobabe

RE: Yakima Catholic Diocese proposal to build "Rose of Mary Terrace"
Dear Mario:
I am excited to hear about your plans to build a new HUD 202 community, Rose of Mary
Terrace, on your campus location on Tieton Drive. As we have discussed, we have just
completed the public process for your pending application for this project, as well as the
hearings before the City's Planning Commission and City Council. This process allowed
us to make recommendations to the Planning Commission and the Council for the R-3
zoning that is required for you project, as well as additional improvements in the City's
zoning ordinance that would allow future development proposals on institutional property
to be considered with more predictability for both the applicant and surrounding
neighborhoods. Our recent completion of amendments to the Yakima County Future
Land Use Map clearly demonstrates that your proposed project zoning of R-3 will be a
compatible and appropriate designation for your site.
The City's Comprehensive Plan includes support for housing projects such as the
Diocese's and our preliminary staff review of this application is a positive
recommendation to the Planning Commission. More specifically, Section 4 of the Plan
(Housing Elements) begins with goals "HI" that states "encourage diverse and affordable
housing choices".
In furtherance of this and other development in our community, the City Council has
recently approved a building permit guarantee program. Under this program the City
guarantees review and issuance of a commercial building permit within seven (7) weeks
of submittal or we will refund the total building permit tee. In addition, the City of
Yakima does not impose impact fees. This should be a refreshing change from other
larger communities in Washington State and the Pacific Northwest.
The City of Yakima actively supports projects that improve our community We are
looking forward to working closely in a supportive relationship with the Diocese of
Yakima Housing Services in developing and constructing Rose of Mary Terrace.
Sincerely,
Willi' Coel��'``

Dear Mr. Villanueva:
I am pleased to hear of your desire to obtain HUD 202 fhnding for your proposed Iow-
income senior housing project in West Yakima. Harman Center is certainly familiar with
the need for additional affordable senior housing in our area.
Hannan Center is a senior center that hosts a variety of different social services and
recreational activities for seniors. These programs keep our seniors active and assist them
in maintaining their ability to be a valuable part of the community. We offer a wealth of
different activities — a little of everything for every senior that wants to join in.
Sornc of these include:
- Senior Information and Assistance, such as legal information, notary services,
yard work, attendant care, etc.
A lunch program provided by Yakima County Food Services and served at the
Harman Center.
A library
Trips and Tours (several throughout the spring, summer and fall)
- Footcare
- Game, dances and other recreational activities
Fitness classes
Insurance counseling
MEDS counseling
The Harman Center would welcome a new low-income senior housing community and
support you efforts for funding. Your proposed residents would be a very welcome
addition to our center and we .would encourage them to join in all the fun!
Please let us lcnow if you are successful in obtaining your funding and keep us apprised
of the project.

Dear Mario,
Congratulations on the creation of your newest community, Rose of Mary Terrace. West Yakima seniors will truly
benefit from your proposed HUD 202 subsidized housing project.
We are aware of your plans to build a multi -family structure that is physically attractive, accessible to seniors and
efficient to operate over time. Pacific Power is excited to partner with DYHS to fully introduce Energy Star design
concepts and efficiencies that will enhance Rose of Mary's operations even more.
Please keep us posted as to your progress. We look forward to joining your development team as you enter the "firm
commitment" stage of the HUD funding process later this year. In the mean time, we wish to thank you for your
efforts in developing the Mabton New Life Homes/UW Demonstration House HUD-CAUP/ COPC project. Our
collaborative work toward full implementation of the Energy Star Program in this single-family home environment
over the next few months will provide an excellent foundation for our future partnership in Rose of Mary Terrace
and other DYHS development activities throughout the Yakima Valley.
Best wishes for a successful application. We are looking forward to meeting you and your team at the ground-
breaking this Saturday, June 25th, in Mabton.

I am writing to extend our appreciation to you and your staff at the Diocese of Yakima
Housing Services for providing support and leadership in the development of a vision for a
strategic community, housing and economic development process and framework.
Over the past two years HUD, in consultation with local professionals, has facilitated
several working sessions and focus groups geared to development of specific action plans to
improve the housing and economic conditions of low- income residents and rural agricultural
farm workers in the greater Yakima Valley area. The concept being put forth by DYHS and your
colleagues at the Office of Rural Farm Worker Housing has potential to build significant
collaboration at the local level.
Our Office of Community Planning and Development intends to work with you to
provide support and technical assistance to assess the multiple factors that impact affordable
housing development, including economic development, and to help DYHS work toward
creating its own planning and development framework that can be tested and implemented at the
local level. If successful, such a model may be shared with other communities to build
collaboration and enhance capacity of organizations that provide affordable housing and assist
communities to improve economic conditions.
We appreciate your role in this effort and look forward to continued cooperation.

RE: Proposed HUD 202 Housing Project
Dear Mr. Villanueva:
Memorial Hospital. with its Senior Education programs, is pleased with your efforts to obtain
funding to serve the needs of all lower-income seniors by providing an affordable housing
project in Yakima. Your organization and this project will be invaluable to many elderly citizens
who have very few alternatives for affordable housing.
We understand this project will be the first senior housing development in Yakima that employs
a Senior Service Coordinator. As you know, Memorial Hospital offers many educational
programs for seniors with the goal of helping them maintain their independence for as long as
possible and we would be happy to provide these services in coordination with the Senior
Service Coordinator, Some of our services include:
• Consultation with a licensed pharmacist for comprehensive information on their
medications;
• dearth insurance counseling, an opportunity to get answers about supplemental health
insurance, Medicare, long-term care options and/or employment-related issues;
• A defensive driving class taught by instructors from State Farm Insurance;
• Home health and hospice services;
• Caregiver educational forums designed to provide information and resources for those
who are caring for loved ones.
We would welcome and support the Diocese of Yakima Rousing Services in educating and
enriching the lives ofYakuna's senior citizens. Good luck and I look forward to hearing that
your application to HUD is successful.

EXHIBIT 4: Project information
(a) Evidence of need for project.
Categories of Elderly Served
The target population of elderly to be served through the proposed 40 units Rose of Mary
Terrace Project includes:
1. Very Low Income Elderly — defined as 50% of median family income and below
2. At -Risk Elderly — needing assistance in one or two activities of daily living
3. Frail Elderly — needing assistance in three or more activities of daily living
Evidence of Sustained Demand for Support Housing for the Elderly in Market Area
The market area for this project includes the City of Yakima. The following information reflects
the need in the market area based on HUD requirements of need:
Number of one-person households age 75 and older
at or below 50% of MFI with housing conditions 684*
MINUS the number of Federally assisted rental housing
units affordable to low income elderly in the market area
since 1999 0
Unmet need 684
Number of units in proposed project (not including manager's) 39
Number of units in project DIVIDED by unmet need 5.7%
* This number is based on information taken from the Economic and Market Analysis Division
of HUD — Special Tabulations of 2000 Census Data. With regard to income, 50% of Median
Family Income in Yakima for a 1 person household is $17,450. The tables in the HUD
Analysis include the following income intervals:
- Less than $9,999 = 354
- $10,000 - $14,999 = 235
- $15,000 - $19,999 =190 (This income interval was divided in half in order to
estimate the number of people with an annual
income of $17,450) and is calculated at 95.)
- $15,000 - $17,450 = 95
Total: 684
Another indicator of need is shown in the table below that reflects the census tracts included in
the market area by total population and renter household status by age and income below
1
poverty. All census tracts in the market area are located in the City of Yakima and are within 10
miles of the site.

Information in the table above are estimates based on tables from the US Census 2000
Summary File (SF 3).
This information indicates there are 1,186 eligible elderly renter households (at or below
poverty) in the Yakima market area. This renter status is based on the poverty levels which, for a
single person household is $9,576. Eligibility for the HUD Section 202 Program based on 50%
of MFI is $17,450 for a one-person household. Therefore, the number of HUD 202 elderly
renters age 75 and older is substantially greater than 1,186.
In addition, there are another 585 renters between the ages of 65 and 74 whose income is at or
below poverty. This is another indicator of the growing demand in the project's market area.

Federally subsidized housing for low income seniors is located primarily in downtown Yakima.
The following table shows there are 404 units of low income senior housing within a 10 mile
radius of the proposed Rose of Mary Terrace Project.
A telephone survey of project managers conducted in April 2005 further revealed the following:
• Only two projects were fully handicap accessible.
• At least half do not have a fire suppression system.
• Six of the eight projects have waiting lists.
• All projects were built between 1968 and 1985, with the newest project 20 years old.
Other indications of need include:
• As outlined in the Analysis of Impediments (City of Yakima Consolidated Plan 2005-
2009) — Lack of existing, available/afbrdable housing stock and the geographic
distribution of affordable housing stock Much of the survey data and information
reviewed and analyzed reveals a general lack of available housing stock at an
"affordable" rate. According to this data, the lack of available and affordable housing
limits people's choices of where they can afford to live. The lack of affordable and
available housing can create concentrations of low income and minority populations.
Sample geographic distributions of affordable housing stock reveals very little evidence
of available and affordable homes evenly distributed throughout all income and racial
compositions of the community.
• Much of the available housing stock has need of major renovation. There are numerous
homes and apartments in such a state of disrepair that it is not economically feasible to
repair them. (Source: City of Yakima Consolidated Plan 2005-2009).
• Based on current vacancy rates and demand, the Yakima Housing Authority is beginning
to investigate the possibility of adding to their supply of units. Their waiting list
indicates that there will likely be market support for such an increase. (Source: City of
Yakima Consolidated Plan 2005-2009).
• The major gap in the public housing system is illustrated by the waiting list of the
Yakima Housing Authority. The list is closed when it is long enough that the anticipated
wait for assisted housing is more than 18 month. It is currently closed. There is not
enough housing and there is not enough money available to subsidize construction of
additional housing. The Director of Yakima Housing Authority states that currently over
50% of individuals on the waiting list for Section 8 housing are elderly. .

• The City of Yakima Consolidated Plan 2005-2009 reports any additional housing units
for the Yakima Housing Authority is at least five years out.
• The City of Yakima Consolidated Plan 2005-2009 estimate the number of housing units
(including rental) that contain lead based paint hazards, as defined in section 1004 of the
Residential Lead Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992, are occupied by extremely
low income, low income and moderate -income households.
• The ability of low-income senior/disabled homeowners to remain in their homes is
threatened by health and safety issues from poor maintenance or disrepair. Housing
disrepair correlates directly with housing age, poverty of occupants, and their age.
• According to the City of Yakima Consolidated Plan 2005-2009, the Yakima Housing
Authority has experienced a higher than desirable turnover rate due to lack of air
conditioning in the apartments where temperatures get an average high of 88 degrees in
the summer months. The plan also reports much needed improvements in the quality of
life in Yakima Housing Authority neighborhoods with emphasis on anti -gang activity.
• Rose of Mary Terrace is the only project located in suburban West Yakima, the area
where so many seniors have lived in their pre -retirement years.
• This project is located in a relatively crime -free neighborhood. The vast majority of
subsidized elderly housing in Yakima is near the downtown core, which is highly
impacted by crime and gangs.
Limitations in Activities of Daily Living
There was no data specific to ADL's for Yakima County. For the purposes of this application the
following information, provided by the consultant for this project, is used. Senior Services'
Housing Social Services Program conducts periodic surveys of elderly residents in its HUD 202
Projects (10 current) to analyze the limitations of residents in terms of ADL's. Its most recent
survey indicated that residents had the following characteristics with regard to ADL's:
• 11% had six or more ADL's.
• 40% were classified as "frail" with three or more deficiencies in ADL's.
• 30% were classified as "at risk" with one or two ADL's.
• 60% had at least one ADL, which included: eating, bathing, grooming; dressing; and/or
home management.
For Yakima County, the following information (2000 Census) identifies older people with
mobility or self-care limitations:
• Of 4,735 people between 65 and 74 years — 274 or 17.28% have a self care disability.
• Of 5,735 people 75+ years — 780 or 7.35% have a self care disability.
Aging in Place
Aging in place is a concern for managers of senior housing as well as service providers. Older
individuals, when moving into buildings grow frailer with time and require more assistance.
Human service providers and building managers spend much time with elderly residents to
obtain needed community services to keep them in housing for as long as possible. The provision
of supportive services in subsidized housing allows older individuals to age in place and often
prevents a premature move to a more restrictive setting.
4
A service coordinator will be hired by DYHS to ensure that residents have the full support of
services they require to remain independent. Research shows that the target populations age 62+
in these projects remain there as long as possible and do have the tendency to "age in place".
The Housing Consultant, Senior Services of Snohomish County, data shows the average age of
the elderly residents in projects managed by Senior Services is 72 and16% are 80 years of age
and older including 4% who are over 90.
Trends in Demographic Changes in Elderly Population and Households
Overview of Yakima County
Yakima County is located in South Central Washington State. It is bounded to the north by
Kittitas County, to the south by Kickitate County, on the west by Thurston, Lewis and Skamania
Counties and the east by Benton and Grant Counties. The geography varies from densely
timbered mountainous terrain at the crest of the Cascade Mountain Range in the west to rolling
foothills, broad valleys and arid sagebrush covered regions to the east.
Yakima County is 4,296 square miles or approximately 2.75 million acres, making it the second
largest land area and seventh largest population area in Washington State. Population for Yakima
County is 222,581 (based on U.S. Census 2000). The City of Yakima contains over 35% of the
population. For many generations before the first contact with white explorers, tribes of Native
Americans inhabited the Yakima Valley.
Yakima County consistently ranks at or near the top nationally in the production of a variety of
crops including sweet cherries, apples and hops. Washington State produced over 75% of the
U.S. total production of hops, nearly half of the nation's supply of apples, 29% of the nation's
cherries, 42% of the nation's pears and 38% of the nation's concord grapes. In addition, Yakima
County had the largest inventory of cattle and sheep of any county in the state. Recently
Yakima's wine industry has gained national awareness, producing blue ribbon wines.
Age
Census 2000 reports Yakima County population of 222,581 and the City of Yakima 71,845.
Yakima County has experienced steady population growth during the past three decades. From
1990 to 2001 the population increased 18.9%.

Population and Housing
Yakima County is the seventh most populous county in Washington State. Yakima County
residents increased from 188,823 in 1990 to 222,581 in 2000 with a projected 229,620 for 2005.
Yakima City residents increased from 54,827 in 1990 to 80,223 in 2003. With regard to poverty,
Yakima County's poverty rate is significantly higher at 19.7% than the state at 10.6%, and
12.4% in the nation. With regard to unemployment, the 2000 Census indicated that Yakima
County's unemployment rate was 6.9% which was higher than the state average at 4.1% and
nation rate at 5.8%.
The average overall rent in Yakima County for a one bedroom is $425-$450. By 2005, the
median sales price for a home in Yakima County had increased from $118,434 in 2001 to
$122,632 in 2003. (Source: Yakima County Development Association)

percentages.
One in five minorities age 65+ in Southeast Washington live at or below poverty level. (Source:
Southeast Aging and Long Term Care Area Plan 2004-2007.)
Tenure
Yakima County's older adult population is distributed between the owner occupied and renter
occupied units. Low income elderly who own their own homes often do not have the resources
to maintain them, and as a result their residences have a high incidence of deferred maintenance.
The following table demonstrates owner occupied vs. renter occupied by age of householder
within the market service area:
ource: Census Bureau 2000 Summary File 3 (SF 3)
Housing Conditions
In general, over 1,500 housing units in the City of Yakima lack complete plumbing, and/or
kitchen, and/or have no phone service. The majority of occupied housing that lacks complete
utilities are located in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Target Area (Census
Tracts 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 12 and 15) neighborhoods where over 1,100 housing units are affected.
CDBG Target Area housing accounts for 85.1% of all housing lacking complete plumbing
facilities citywide; 62.1% of all housing lacking complete kitchen facilities; and 86.5% of all
households with phone service. Source: City of Yakima Consolidated Plan 2005-2009.
As the population ages, more people will find it difficult to maintain their home.The parallel
aging of the housing stock will exacerbate this problem. As fixed incomes fail to keep pace with
the rising cost of living and the ability to do maintenance declines, increasingly units fall in
disrepair. Many of the needed repairs are the result of deferred maintenance but many others are
the result of the failure of major systems such as water, sewage disposal and roofs.

Impediments to Fair Housing Choice
The City of Yakima Consolidated Plan 2005-2009 identifies the following impediments:
1. Lack of public education and awareness regarding rights and responsibilities under
federal, state and local fair housing laws.
2. Lack of adequate and effective local fair housing ordinances and enforcement
mechanisms.
3. Lack of existing, available/affordable housing stock and the geographic distribution of
affordable housing stock.
4. Lack of local tax and other incentives for contractors to build affordable housing.
5. Zoning regulations and fee/permit costs associated with construction are too rigid and
allow no process of appeal or incentive for building affordable housing in sites other than
in those areas with minority concentration.
6. Lack of dedicated fair housing funding and resources.
9
7. Opposition within some neighborhoods over the perceived concentration of group homes
within those neighborhoods.
8. Historical and concentrated siting of public assistance/subsidized housing.
9. Problems faced my immigrant populations whose language and cultural barriers combine
with a lack of affordable housing to create unique fair housing impediments.
10. The lack of participation by all racial, ethnic, religious, and disabled segments of the
community in local government, including planning and zoning boards and commissions.
The Office of Neighborhood Development Services (ONDS) has identified action steps to
address each of the listed impediments to include tenant hotline, website information
investigation, incentives, working with community agencies (The Washington Human Rights
Commission, Columbia Legal Services, etc.) to resolve conflict.
DYHS, in cooperation with Yakima County, will ensure that any impediment to fair housing will
be addressed. These efforts include a variety of activities and considerations that benefit the
target population and the community in which the project is located. These include:
• Accessibility to Shopping and Services: The site is ideal in that it is located within easy
access to a variety of businesses and services that benefit the target population, including
the senior center.
• Safety: The site is located in a neighborhood that is safe and barrier free. The building
will also be designed to promote safety both internally as well as externally.
• Affirmative Fair Housing and Marketing: DYHS will use extensive marketing and an
affirmative fair housing market plan to reach the target population including minority
populations.
▪ On-site Services: The Housing Social Services Program provides a lifeline to elderly and
disabled residents through advocacy and coordination of social and health services
enabling residents to "age in place" for as long as possible.

(b) How Project Will Benefit Target Population and Community
The proposed project will benefit the target population and community by increasing the supply
of safe, handicap accessible, affordable housing in the City of Yakima where the availability of
such inventory is low and the demand is high. Yakima Housing Authority recently closed their
waiting list with between 300 and 400 applicants. They estimate the wait for those last on this
list between 18 to 24 months. Additionally, there are more than 1,186 elderly renters at or below
poverty age 75 and older in the market area, with another 585 eligible senior renters age 65 to 74.

(c) Description of the Project
(i) Narrative Description of the Building Design
This proposed project is for new construction to be completed under the Section 202 program. It
will provide 39 one -bedroom units and 1 two-bedroom managers unit, in a three story wood
frame buildings designed to encourage interaction of the residents and to develop a sense of
community. It will be located in Yakima, Washington. .
The building will comply with the Amendments to the Fair Housing Act of 1988, Section 202
Program requirements, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended, The
Architectural Barriers Act of 1968, the 1994 edition of HUD's Minimum Property Standards for
Housing, and the Washington State Building Code, Chapter 11 Regulations for Barrier -Free
Facilities, current edition. The work will allow the facility to meet the goals of universal Design
and visitability programs including zero -step entrance.
Meeting or Exceeding Visitability Design Standards:
The units are designed as "flats" with entire living space on one level making the entire unit
accessible. Lever hardware is used on all accessible doors. We will install 3 foot wide doors,
where possible, throughout the buildings which are wider than the UFAS/Fair Housing Act
required 32" door. We use a 3 -foot wide pocket door in the bathrooms, which is wider than the
UFAS/Fair Housing Act required 32" door and is easier to use. When fully open, the door
extends 1'/2" minimum outside the doorjamb, with handles for easy gripping. The bathrooms are
larger than those required by the UFAS/Fair Housing Act. Instead of using the standard "clear
floor space," we use a combination of a 5 -foot diameter turning space and the standard "clear
floor space" in the bathrooms, which results in a floor space that is larger than the "clear floor
space" method. In some units, we use a roll -in shower, which is more accessible than the
standard accessible tub. All tubs and showers have two "L" shaped grab bars, giving the user
better stability during use, and when getting in and out of the tubs and showers. Towel bars in
the bathrooms are designed both to support 250 lbs and to function as emergency grab bars. The
kitchens are larger than required by the UFAS/Fair Housing Act. Instead of using the standard
"clear floor space," we use a 5 -foot diameter turning space between cabinets in the kitchens,
which results in a floor space larger than those derived from the "clear floor space" method. 4"
wire pulls are used on all cabinets in the kitchens and bathrooms.
Meeting or Exceeding Universal Design Standards:
The project will have more than one accessible entry into the building. Power assisted door
operators on the building's main entry doors. Security will be provide by Video/intercom entry
system to building. Unit Entry door with a large deadbolt handle that is easy to turn (integral
latch and lock), and lever door handle. Lever hardware is used on all accessible doors. We use
3 -foot wide doors where possible throughout the buildings, which are wider than the UFAS/Fair
Housing Act required 32" door. We use a 3 -foot wide pocket door into the bathrooms, which is
wider than the UFAS/Fair Housing Act required 32" door and is easier to use. When fully open,
the door extends 1%2" minimum outside the doorjamb with handles for easy gripping. The
bathrooms are larger that required by UFAS/Fair Housing Act. Instead of using the standard
"clear floor space," we use a 5 -foot diameter turning space in the bathrooms, which results in a
floor space larger than "clear floor space" method. In some units we use a roll -in shower, which
11
is more accessible than the standard accessible tub. A tub/shower mixer valve with pressure
balancing and hot water limiter prevents scalding of people who cannot move out of the way if
there are sudden changes in water temperature and/or pressure. All tubs and showers have two
"L" shaped grab bars giving the user better stability during use, and when getting in and out of
the tubs and showers. Towel bars in the bathrooms are designed both to support 250 lbs and to
function as emergency grab bars. Single -lever water controls at all plumbing fixtures and
faucets. The kitchens are larger than required by UFAS/Fair Housing Act. Instead of using the
standard "clear floor space", we use a 5 -foot diameter turning space between cabinets in the
kitchens, which results in a floor space larger than those derived from the "clear floor space"
method. 4" wire pulls are used on all cabinets in the kitchens and bathrooms. The kitchen range
has the controls on the front for easy accessibility. Electrical outlets have a height of 18" to 24"
above the floor. This allows easy reach from a sitting position as well as for those who have
trouble bending over.
The work will specifically address accessible routes to be incorporated throughout the building
and in all of the units. Signage will include Braille identification of building spaces (i.e. the
community room, public toilets, dwelling units, utility spaces, etc.). Lever hardware will be
utilized for entry doors to the building, individual dwelling units, and all common use areas. Six
units will be designed in accordance with the Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards and
Washington State Building Code, Chapter 11 Regulations for Barrier -Free Facilities. Those units
will be fully accessible and usable by persons who use wheelchairs or experience other mobility
impairments. Two of the units will incorporate features to meet the needs of persons with visual
and hearing impairments in compliance with Section 504. Specific features include a local fire
detector system including flashing strobe and horn, building fire alarm system with flashing
strobe and horn in the living and bathroom of the unit, and the location of electrical outlets near
the telephone jacks. All light switches, thermostats and other environmental controls will be in
accessible locations at a maximum of 36" to 48" above the finish floor. Electrical outlets will be
in accessible locations at a maximum of 16" to 24" above the finish floor.
This support housing project will help meet HUD's goal to "ensure equal opportunity in
housing" by meeting the established objective of improving housing accessibility for elderly
persons.
All of the units will be designed and constructed with reinforced bathroom walls to allow later
installation of grab bars around toilets, tubs, shower stalls and shower seats. The grab bars and
shower seats (if required) will be installed in the handicap units. The handicap bathroom sink
will have a knee space underneath and will be mounted at the proper height for wheelchair use.
The units, except for the handicap units, will be designed and constructed with usable kitchens
and bathrooms such that an individual in a wheelchair can maneuver about the space.
Specifically, usable kitchens would have a clear floor space at least 30 inches by 48 inches to
provide either a forward or parallel approach to the stove, sink oven and refrigerator.
Bathrooms will provide sufficient maneuvering space for a person using a wheelchair or other
mobility aid to enter and close the door, use the fixtures, reopen the door and exit. Clear space
will be from 40 to 60 inches for the toilet, sink and bathtub. The kitchens in the handicap units
will have knee spaces under the sink, 30" counter workspace, and the counter height will be
adjustable or permanently mounted at 34" above the finish floor. The units will have sufficient
12
maneuvering space for a person using a wheelchair or other mobility aid to use the kitchen.
Appliances and equipment with Energy Star labels will be used when available.
The building has grade access and all utilities. The community room will be multi-purpose in
nature, and will include a residential style kitchen to use for warming and serving functions. It
will be used for:
• Parties and holiday functions
■ Exercise and craft classes
• Resident private parties or celebrations
• Community activities
The unit design will be developed to accommodate the need for the provision of supportive
services in the home. The units will be designed to facilitate the delivery of on-site supportive
services relative to housekeeping and food preparation assistance. The building will be designed
to encourage social interaction among residents while also ensuring the privacy of individuals.
Features such as lever faucets and door hardware, hallway handrails, etc. will be included to
meet special needs.
Following is a summary of proposed amenities and special design features:
• A maintenance and equipment storage room is provided.
■ All apartments are heated with individual temperature controls.
• Carpet will be provided in the living rooms of all units and sheet vinyl flooring in the
bathrooms and kitchens.
• Carpet will be provided in the community room and public corridors.
• An accessible, Energy Star, frost -free refrigerator will be provided in each unit.
• An Energy Star labeled, range with oven, range hood, and bathroom exhaust fan will be
provided in each unit.
■ Blinds will be provided at all windows and will permit draperies, if desired, on the
interior.
• A laundry room with coin-operated Energy Star labeled washer and dryer will be
provided.
• Public handicapped accessible restrooms will be provided.
• The project includes a community room with kitchen and storage.
• A secured, covered front entry will be provided.
Universal and visitability design standards will provide the basis for the overall design of the
housing facility. The design of the building's community spaces and individual apartments will
provide an environment that is usable by all people to the greatest extent possible, without the
need for adoption of specialized design. The seven principles of universal design will be
incorporated into the facility. The housing will be designed to accommodate a wide range of
individual preferences and abilities, including right- or left-handed access and use, facilitating
users' accuracy and precision and adaptability to user's pace.
The construction guidelines for visitable homes will also be incorporated in all apartment units,
as well as the community spaces. These guidelines include the zero -step entrance, 2' 10" doors
and usable bathrooms.
13
(ii) Efficient Energy and Construction Methods
The project sponsor is fully aware of the need for energy efficient construction materials and
techniques and participated in the recent development of Mabton New Life Homes/UW
Demonstration House HUD-CAUP/COP project which used Energy Star design concepts and
efficiencies. A letter of support from Pacific Power describing this development is included in
Exhibit 3: Letters of Support.
The project will use the most economical and straightforward conventional construction
techniques and will utilize the most economical materials, equipment and hardware within
acceptable quality limits.
The building has been located on the site to take advantage of the topography, size, shape and
natural features. The location minimizes road, walk lengths and utility connections within the
constraints of the requirements of the City and HUD.
The project's design stacks units 3 stories, allowing for simple structural, plumbing and electrical
systems to be utilized. All kitchen and bathrooms are similar, requiring single specifications for
equipment. Also, the project's on -grade design minimizes the grading and foundation requirements.
The building will be built to the highest energy conservation standards. Advanced Framing
Techniques will increase the insulation in the exterior walls up to 20%. The insulation values of
the structure will be raised above national standards to reduce heat loss/gain. The structure will
be built nearly air -tight and use controlled ventilation systems to reduce heat loss/gain due to
infiltration and insure indoor air quality.
The structural system has been designed to match the site and environmental conditions. The
building has been designed to be constructed using the Western Platform Framing method and
incorporating Advanced Framing Techniques. The Advanced Framing Techniques will reduce
the amount of framing lumber on the upper walls by up to 20%. The Western Platform Framing
method allows the contractor to construct the walls on the floor and then tilt walls up into
position. The exterior walls are sheathed with 1/2" structural panels, 1/2" gypsum sheathing and
windows installed prior to being tilled upright.
Shallow spread footings will be used for the foundation. The plan has been designed to allow
simple foundation and footing layout and to promote efficient construction of the foundation.
The materials used in construction will be chosen based on durability, low cost, ease of
maintenance, and minimal required finish work after installation. The contract documents will
specify pre -manufactured, pre-engineered and pre -finished items wherever it is cost effective to
do so. The roof trusses will be pre-engineered and pre -manufactured. The elevator will be pre-
engineered and pre -finished. The doors will be pre -hung in the frame, and the door, frame, and
casing will be pre -finished. The wood base will be pre -finished to match the door casing. The
windows will be "nail -on" pre -finished vinyl and of manufactures' standard sizes. The cabinets
will be pre -manufactured, pre -finished modular units.
14
The building will be built with the best -proven construction techniques to reduce both the initial
construction cost as well as the life long maintenance costs for the facility.
The housing project will comply with or exceed the standards and specifications of the national
and state model energy codes, including Energy Star labeled products and appliances. The
project will incorporate the following:
Energy/ Mechanical
• Operable windows that allow natural ventilation and enable tenants to economize heating
and cooling.
• All exterior doors will be insulated and weather-stripped.
• Plumbing fixtures will be water efficient.
• Energy Star electrical fixtures will be selected to provide energy efficiencies, particularly
in the bathrooms, kitchens and corridors.
• Energy Star appliances will be selected to provide energy efficiencies.
Dwelling Units
• The units have been designed to be functional and workable.
• The design meets food preparation, dining, living, and sleeping, sanitation and storage
requirements.
• The units have been designed to minimizing halls and unusable spaces.
Common Spaces:
• Accessory and service spaces are sized for intended use and located to complement each
other.
• A community room with a party kitchen will be provided. The kitchen will be similar to
a regular apartment sized kitchen. This single room will serve many different resident
functions, thus eliminating the need for several specialized spaces.
• A common laundry facility with coin-operated machines will be provided in lieu of space
and hookup in each unit.
• A computer lab will be provided for the residents to learn computer skills and have
access to the Internet for e-mail.
Construction Details
• The materials used in construction will be chosen based on durability, low cost, ease of
maintenance, and minimal required finish work after installation.
• The contract documents specify pre -manufactured, pre-engineered and pre -finished items
wherever it is cost effective to do so.
• Doors will be pre -hung in the frame, and the door, frame, and casing will be pre -finished.
• The cabinets will be pre -manufactured, pre -finished modular units.
The building will be built with construction techniques most proven to reduce both the initial
construction cost as well as the life-long maintenance costs for the facility.
The proposed project will be a two-story building on the front and three stories in the rear with
39 one -bedroom units for residents and one two-bedroom resident caretaker's unit. The project
design will comply with requirements of the Amendments to the Fair Housing Act and Section
504, including the interior and exterior spaces, circulation and recreation. Five percent will be
15
designed for elderly persons with physical disabilities in accordance with the Uniform Federal
Accessibility Standards and other applicable Federal and State requirements.
An additional two percent of the units will be designed for elderly persons with visual and/or
hearing impairments. The building will be new construction, wood frame, UBC R-1 occupancy,
type V one-hour construction. It will be designed as a single three-story building with double
loaded interior corridors with elevator. The elevator, all corridors, all rooms, and doorways will
be designed to allow persons with disabilities access to and use of the entire building including
the units.
Units:
Each one -bedroom unit will be approximately 530 square feet in area, and the two-bedroom
resident caretaker's unit will be approximately 622 square feet. Each apartment will contain a
kitchen with range, refrigerator, sink and sufficient counter and cabinet space. The kitchen and
bathroom will provide amply space for use by persons with disabilities. The living/dining area
will provide adequate area for normal living/dining furniture arrangements. Each apartment will
have ample closet storage. All spaces and doorways will be designed to allow persons with
disabilities access to and use of the entire apartment.
Community Areas:
The building will include common areas for residents, and possibly, for other elderly members of
the community. All areas will be accessible to persons with physical disabilities (handicapped).
Community areas include:
• Community Room with Party Kitchen: This area will be used by the residents for a
variety of social, educational and recreational activities, including "covered dish"
suppers, birthday parties, exercise classes, arts and crafts, etc. A function of the
community room is to develop a sense of community, social cooperation and interaction.
This multi-purpose room will be located such that activities hosted by the complex for
non-residents allow access to this room without violating the privacy of the individual
living units.
■ Entry Lounge: The building will have an entry lounge that seats approximately six to
eight people. This area can be used for conversation, as a waiting area for the manager's
office, to wait for transportation services, or to meet friends and family. Mailboxes for
the residents will be located adjacent to this area.
■ Manager's Office: The manager's office will be conveniently located off the entry
lounge, so the lounge can double as a waiting area. The manager's office will be situated
such that the manager can view the entrance to the building.
■ Service Coordination: Housing service coordinators will be located in the Senior Center
building directly adjacent to the project.
■ Public Restrooms: Restrooms will be included adjacent to the multi-purpose room and
near the office. The restrooms are for the residents when in the core area of the building
and by the management staff, supportive services providers and guests when in the
building.
■ Laundry Facilities: Coin-operated laundry facilities, including washers and dryers, will
be available for the residents. Due to the close proximity of the laundry room to the
16
community room, residents will be able to engage in social/recreational activities while
tending to their laundry. Washer -in -use indicator lights will be located on each floor.
■ Maintenance Office/Shop and Storage Area: The building will also include an area for
maintenance and storage of maintenance items with an interior and exterior entrance so
that items such as lawn mowers can be easily be accessed directly from the exterior.
Site Design and Parking:
All on-site parking, paths, walkways and recreational facilities will be accessible. The paths and
walkways will be over three feet wide and have a slope of less than 20 to 1. A total of 44
parking spaces are proposed which creates a parking ratio of one to one. This is considered more
than adequate based on the sponsor's experience with similar type housing in the area and
immediate access to public transportation at the site. This includes parking for staff and visitors.
The parking lot will be designed to reduce the walking distance to the building for the residents.
It will include special parking areas for the disabled and on-site passenger pick-up and drop-off
area near the main entry to the building.
Proposed Utilities:
The local utility district will provide water and sewer service. The local utility companies will
provide electrical power and phone service. The local gas utility company will provide natural
gas.
Aging in Place:
This design will facilitate the easy management, service delivery, and accommodate the
changing needs of the residents over the next 10 to 20 years. This housing has been designed
with the recognition that in the early years it will serve a more independent and healthy elderly
population, who will become frailer as time advances. Accordingly, individual units will be
equipped with grab bars, blocking for future grab bars, sturdy towel bars, emergency call system,
and non -slip floor surfaces along with other design features that facilitate individual safety.
Although five percent of the units will be designed at the outset as accessible by disabled
persons, all units will be designed to be adaptable to various types of disabilities, including
wheelchair usage, and sight and hearing impairments. Hardware selections will include items
that take into consideration the aging process; e.g., units will have door levers (as opposed to
knobs). The units will be sized to allow for sufficient space for services to be delivered in the
home such as assistance with bathing, meal preparation, administration of medication, and
similar types of assistance.
The close proximity to the Senior Center is also a significant consideration in the design and
accessibility of services to the resident population. This proximity will allow residents to easily
access a variety of services and programs that will increase their ability to remain as independent
as possible.
Several techniques will be used to accommodate the aging process, but not add cost to the
development budget. These include:
■ Visual Signage: To alleviate the confusion created by repetition (e.g., all building floors
looking the same), the design will employ the use of different color schemes in color
treatments to minimize any disorientation among the aging residents. Additionally,
17
colors will be chosen that are "friendly" to the aging eye and signs will have a high
contrast ratio. This will allow for a greater feeling of personal security among residents
who are visually impaired, hearing-impaired (and thus more reliant on visual signals), as
well as those who suffer from disorientation.
• Glare Deduction: Glare is a major problem among elderly persons with deteriorating
eyesight. Non -reflective materials will be used on floor and wall surfaces, both interior
and exterior, as well as within the unit on such items as appliances whenever possible.
• Furniture Placement: The careful placement of furnishings can be used to overcome
social isolation and to aid the hearing impaired. Background noise is a constant problem
for persons with hearing impairments. Careful placement of small furniture groupings
can make personal conversations possible, within the overall design of a large room.
Additionally furniture placement can encourage socialization among residents.
• Grab Bar Blocking: Blocking for future grab bars will be installed during construction.
As the resident becomes less firm, grab bars can be installed in the unit to aid the resident
for just the cost of the grab bar.
The building will not have any prohibited amenities or spaces that are not funded by the sponsor.
The building will also be built with the best -proven construction techniques to reduce both the
initial construction cost as well as the life long maintenance costs for the facility.
(iii) Mixed Finance and Mixed Use Projects
This project does not include the use of mixed financing or mixed uses.
d) Evidence of Site Control and Permissive Zoning
(i)
DYHS has site control of the property as evden edrin the Purchase and Sale Agreement attached
with this exhibit.
(ii) Evidence that Site is Free of Limitations, Restrictions or Reverters
The attached Preliminary Title Commitment shows that the property is free of limitations,
restrictions and reverters. Please note that the Title Commitment references a lease with Verizon
for cell phone transmission. The transmission is not located on the proposed site.
(iii) Permissible Zoning
A letter of zoning is attached with this Exhibit 4 from the City of Yakima stating the proposed
site is allowable for rezone.
(iv) Evidence of Compliance With The URA Requirement
The URA requirements are provided to the seller, the Catholic Bishop of Yakima, in the
language contained in the Purchase and Sale Agreement. This language states that:
1) The sale is voluntary and the Purchaser does not have power of eminent domain.
2) Purchaser estimates the fair market value of the property.
18
(v) Narrative Description of Site and Surrounding Area
The site currently consist of rolling lawn and is ideal for a HUD Section 202 project. The
surrounding neighborhood is a mix of slightly older homes and newly constructed homes. The
sponsor is also located adjacent to the site with related services that include: a church; Dioceses
offices; social services; and school buildings. There is also a stadium close by that is used by a
minor league soccer team. Ideal site features include:
• The site is relatively flat, never before developed, but with nearby infrastructure
• The location offers convenient access to all services and shopping
• The site is located in an area that is safe and barrier free
• The site will easily accessible for public transportation
A map showing the location of the site in proximity to services is provided on the following
page.
DYHS, the project owner will ensure that every effort will be made to inform groups least likely
to apply for housing without special outreach efforts. The program's planned Affirmative Fair
Housing Marketing Plan includes:
1. Commercial Media:
a. Press releases to local and regional newspapers;
b. Press releases to ethnic local and regional newspapers;
2. Community Contacts:
a. Information letter to all appropriate community organizations;
b. Information letter to all appropriate low income housing entities
3. Applicant Contacts:
a. Information letter to applicants on waiting list;
b. Information letter to non-English speaking applicants on waiting list.
The project and site are compatible with the surrounding development and population density of
the area, and the increased number of residents in the local community will go unnoticed.
There does not appear to be any adverse natural or manmade environmental conditions that
would be hazardous to the tenant or employees. The on-site development of this land will create
a project which will comply with the requirements of the Uniform Federal Accessibility
Standards (UFAS), Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, HUD's Fair Housing Accessibility
Guidelines, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (24 CFR Part *), the Architectural
Barriers Act of 1968 (24 CFR Part 40), and the State of Washington handicap code amendments.
All portions of the site will be accessible.

Re: Update Letter for the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Update Conducted at
the Catholic Diocese of Yakima Proposed Senior Housing Site in Yakima, Washington
Dear Mario:
Fulcrum Environmental Consulting, Inc. (Fulcrum) completed a Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment (ESA) Update dated May 13, 2005, for the Catholic Diocese of Yakima Proposed
Senior Housing Site located in Yakima, Washington.
The subject site is located near 5313 Tieton Drive in Yakima, Washington. The subject site is
located north of the Holy Family Catholic Church and associated parking lot, south of the former
Carroll High School, east of South 56th Avenue and west of a soccer field. The property consists
of an area of approximately 310 -feet (ft) by 600 -ft.
The Phase I ESA Update did not identify any Recognized Environmental Conditions at the
subject site, as defined in the American Standard for Testing and Materials (ASTM) International

EXPERIENCE:
Michael began his career as an architect in 1973, working for Seattle
area firms until he founded MF&A in 1977. In the 30 years that he
has been a practicing architect, he has worked on projects as varied
as low-income senior housing, churches, schools, libraries and office
buildings.
Michael has worked with non-profit and specialized housing
providers throughout his career. His vast experience in the design and
construction of senior housing, particularly HUD Section 202
projects, is a valued asset to his clients.
Michael has served on numerous advisory panels to explain HUD
programs to prospective sponsors. He has testified at State hearings,
helping to bring about an amendment to the Washington State
electrical code, which led to the reduction of construction costs.
