organizes a volunteer committee of residents to competitively select a solar installer who agrees to fixed
pricing. At a series of free educational workshops participants can learn about the technology, incentives,
and financing options. If interested, participants can then sign up for a free site assessment and are
guaranteed the Solarize price, if they sign a contract within the campaign timeline.

Yes, solar works in Washington! Solar provides clean, carbon-free, and local power, helping residents to
save money and build wealth. Solarize works best for homeowners and business owners who have a sunny
roof and pay federal taxes. In most locations in Washington participants who qualify for all incentives
can expect solar systems "pay back" the upfront cost within 10 years. In some locations, a financed solar
investment will save money every year after installation.

Solarize is powered by local communities. Our community partners lead grassroots outreach and
educational efforts, and recruit volunteers to identify community priorities and select a solar installer
through a competitive process. Plus, if the community reaches installation targets, the installer may donate
a solar installation for a community building. Community partners can be a local government, non-profit
organization, or an alliance of groups with a lead partner. Spark Northwest provides templates, technical

Washington Community Development Authority dba Communities of Concern
Commission PDA Legislation
Who we represent:The Communities of Concern Commission is a coalition of leaders from communities -
of color and poor rural communities that are disproportionately affected by poverty and have yet to
fully benefit from the economic growth that h$oapparent in many areas of Washington State.
Our request:The Communities of Concern Commission is seeking recognition status.as a statewide
| public development authority to work with poor communities of color and rural communities to build
� the capacity to meet the needs uf'their communities.
Rationale:Community organizations strongly rooted |n poor communities and rural communities have
the cultural understanding, imagination and vision to create capital assets that will help reduce poverty
and build stronger and more sustainable communities.These capital assets would be self-determined,
managed and owned by the communities they serve. The Communities of Concern Commission doing
business as the Washington Community Development Authority seeks to change structural barriers by
partnering with the state to build the capacity of communities to conceive, design, finance, construct
and manage the'types of assets that are essential to reducing poverty.
Why astatewide public development authority: Many of our communities are not geographically
defined, and our members have not been included in local government planning processes. Asapublic
development authority, the Washington Community Development Authority(WCDA) could better
facilitate ongoing state investment to a dedicated fund to accelerate the creation of affordable housing
and other essential facilities in the communities we represent.The WCDA would work with communities
to create community growth plans to identify capital projects, and help selected capital projects. State
funding would also be sought for the development of theVV[DA.
Partnerships:The Washington Community Development Authority will work with theDepartment of
Commerce to develop criteria and evaluate proposed capital projects.The VyCDA will also work with
Commerce and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission tQ identify appropriate project
funding allocations.
Our Resufts:The 2O18 Capital Budget funded the Communities UfConcern at$1 million.Working with
the Department of Commerce,the Commission has funded nine community projects-BU|v Frank Jr. `
Heritage Center(Nisqually), Equity Alliance of Washington (Seattle), Community to Community
(VVhatcom County), Ethiopian Community Affordable Senior Housing(Seattle), El Centro cle la Raza
(Seattle), Seattle Indian Services Commission, Latino Civic Alliance (south King County), Partners for
Rural Washington (Methow Valley/Stevens County Fire District/Ritzville), and United Indians of All
(Seattle). A report will be provided 1Vthe Governor and Legislature in December of the projects'
outcomes.

Endorsements for the Communities of Concern Commission
2018 Capital Fund Request - $10 million
We, the undersigned, support the Communities of Concern Commission and their capital fund
request of the 2019 Legislature in the amount of$10 million. The Commission members are
leaders in their respective communities who have come together to secure dedicated public
funding to support their communities' efforts to take care of their own, and build community
assets. These communities are over-represented among people who are poor, homeless and ill-
housed.
State investment in community self-determined assets through a capital fund of$10 million can
begin to capitalize poor communities of color and rural communities with essential housing,
healthcare, after school centers, cultural facilities and other assets in their respective
communities.
The Communities of Concern Capital Fund will reside in the WA State Department of Commerce
Building Communities Fund. The Commission has developed the project criteria and rating
mechanism and prioritized the projects in cooperation with Department staff. The Commission
will establish timelines and benchmarks to ensure that projects move forward on schedule so
our communities see progress and dependability.
Communities of Concern communities know how to best determine the capital assets they
need to improve economic well-being and create sustainable neighborhoods of color.
We look forward to working with the Commission to decrease poverty in their communities.

Executive Briefing
The Communities of Concern Commission, representing many of Washington
State's disenfranchised Communities of Color, is committed to working with
the State's Leaders in the creation of a Communities Capital Development
Program to be administered by the Communities of Concern Commission.
Its purpose is to ensure that disenfranchised communities have a voice in the
creation and control of local infrastructure throughout Washington State.
Housing, parks development, cultural projects and many other typical
community planning opportunities enjoyed by today's majority culture will be
the focus. We believe this will address the legacy of historical economic
exclusion and start the process of mitigating the inequities.
The Communities of Concern Commission believes that by providing and
drawing upon resources, support and experience, disenfranchised
Communities of Color can take ownership and self-direct representative
projects that will reengage community pride, increase educational
opportunities for young leadership of color, provide job opportunities and
instill a sense of self—determination.
The Communities of Concern Commission is seeking funding for the
Communities Capital Development Program,.. We request an initial set aside of
$85 million for planning and project development activities throughout
Washington. With this investment Communities of Color can create local
community projects that are designed to improve economic well-being and
create sustainable neighborhoods of color.
We believe Washington State's leadership in the House of Representatives,
Senate and the Executive Branch can approach funding support within the
existing capital fund programs through re-prioritization. We are prepared to
work with and collaborate with the Executive and Legislative branches to
secure program support.
