Executive Summary
AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)
1. Introduction
As the annual recipient of federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment
Partnership (HOME) funds, the City of Yakima is required to engage in a careful planning process. This
process involves a long-term five-year strategy, which is detailed in a document called the Consolidated
Plan, and a subset of this document known as the Annual Action Plan. Each Action Plan specifies the
things the City will do during the coming year to implement those steps it feels will lead to the
accomplishment of the goals set forth in the Consolidated Plan.
A key component of serving the needs of local residents is to meet with them and listen to them as they
express their thoughts. ONDS follows a Yakima City Council adopted "Citizen Participation Plan" as
approved by HUD. This plan dictates how the Office of Neighborhood Development Services conducts
citizen participation input meetings for both the Consolidated Plan and the Annual Action
Plan. Information is collected from City residents and others in a variety of ways. There are regular
surveys conducted of local citizens to ask about their needs and challenges. Meetings are held to
provide the opportunity for people to speak. As required by HUD City staff meet with other providers of
services for low-income persons to hear about the things they feel are important. By the time the 2019
Action Plan is completed, City staff will have met with local residents on at least two occasions to share
information on the possible activities and hear their ideas as is outlined in the HUD mandated "Citizen
Participation Plan" as well as held a "Thirty Day Written Comment Period" on the proposed 2019
Annual Action Plan draft.
This document is the 2019 Annual Action Plan for the City of Yakima's 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. The
format and content of the document is largely dictated by the US Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) regulations. These regulations provide a framework that helps ensure that each
dollar invested meets local priorities and complies with Federal law.
Congress implemented the CDBG program in order to provide assistance to communities such as
Yakima, as they work to provide various forms of assistance to low and moderate -income individuals
and families. According to law, the CDBG program has three primary objectives; to benefit low and
moderate income persons, to assist with problems relating to slum and blight, and to assist with urgent
health and welfare needs. The program can thus provide assistance in a broad range of activities and
services; but at least 70% of all funds must be spent on assisting people with issues related to low
income.

2019
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)

The HOME program is of more recent origin. It can only assist low/moderate income persons with issues
relating to housing. These services can range from new construction of single family, rental housing,
down payment assistance and assistance with rent. While lacking the flexibility of the Block Grant
program, the HOME program has provided valuable services to hundreds of families here in Yakima. By
combining both programs under one strategy the City of Yakima has provided a broad-spectrum
approach to helping the many local residents these programs serve.
2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan
This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to
another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs
assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.
This information is contained in the "AP-38 Project Summary" contained within this 2019 Annual Action
Plan.
3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or
projects.
The 2019 Annual Action Plan will be the fifth and final year of the 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan. The
Annual Action Plans will report progress on addressing priority housing and non -housing community
development needs each year from 2015-2019, as Yakima ONDS has annually reported progress for
previous 2010-2014 Consolidated Plan.
A detailed breakdown report of prior year uses and performances has also been provided in the yearly
Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report (CAPER), which is available at the City of
Yakima's Office of Neighborhood Development Office or online at Yakima's webpage
(www.ci.ya ki mawa.gov)

AP-10 Consultation — 91.100, 91.200(b), 91.215(1)
1. Introduction
Consultation for the Consolidated Plan includes the use of consultants generating statistical information
needed to establish needs, gaps and barriers. ONDS consults with public and private agencies and
citizens, including a Housing Advisory Committee composed of the Yakima Housing Authority, Catholic
Charities, as well as Yakima County. This is also known as the Community Development Advisory Board
providing review and feedback.
Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction's activities to enhance coordination between
public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health
and service agencies (91.215(1))
The city of Yakima consults with public and private agencies that provide assisted housing, health
services, and social and fair housing services -especially those focusing on services to children, the
elderly, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons
through Neighborhood Health.
The city also consults with Washington State Department of Commerce (CED) and the Yakima Housing
Authority (YHA) to assure that the Yakima Consolidated Plan is inclusive and addresses statutory
purposes.
Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of
homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with
children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.
The Balance of State is the coordinator of the Yakima County Continuum of Care. The Balance of State is
composed of a broad group of Yakima County public, non-profit, and private human services agencies
including many of the groups listed above. Balance of State conducts regular meetings and agendas,
updated the Yakima County Continuum of Care Plan, and organized the annual Point -In Time Homeless
Persons Count. The City of Yakima continues to coordinate and assist Balance of State with it's efforts to
assist persons at risk of homelessness and chronically homeless individuals and family.
The City of Yakima works with Balance of State to strategize, plan and assist with Emergency Winter
Shelters for the Homeless on a year by year basis, in order to ensure safe, decent, emergency winter

shelters that are both suitable for the homeless but also suitable for the residents and businesses within
those neighborhoods.
Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in
determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate
outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and
procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS
The City of Yakima has consulted with Balance of State and other Continuum of Care providers through
joint affordable housing committee meetings, through email as well as reviewing individual service
provider websites. Yakima Valley Council of Governments (YVCOG) hold scheduled meetings, as well as
request input from agencies, as well as citizens on a regular basis. The City of Yakima works in
partnership with Balance of State throughout the Strategic Planning process for both Yakima County and
the City of Yakima to develop program performance standards and evaluate and adjust outcomes and
develop funding, policies and procedures for a wide variety of programs and fundings, including the
administration of the HMIS.

Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources — 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
After ten years of slow and steady entitlement reductions from 2007 when the CDBG budget was $1,210,374, and in 2017 was $864,848 with
2007 HOME Investment dollars at $632,684 and in 2017 at the reduced amount of $372,030, the City of Yakima received an increase in 2018
from the proceeding year of an additional $131, 866 in CDBG for a total of $996,714 and an additional $144,468 in HOME Investment dollars for
a total of $516,498. Now in 2019 entitlement allocations are $1,032,307 in CDBG and $482,161 in HOME Investment.
Despite the reductions of years past at the federal funding level and the recent increases, the City of Yakima is continually challenged to
continue programs with the fluctuation of funding, in order to continue to serve it's low to moderate income citizens to the best of it's ability.
Furthermore, any decision to change CDBG funding greater than 10% increase or decrease in any program funding line after the public comment
period received by the City of Yakima ONDS will trigger an amendment as per the adopted Citizen Participation Plan. Although any increase or
decrease in funding directly attributed to the Federal Allocation will be added or subtracted to the largest funded program as currently funded
through those federal entitlement allocations. (CDBG would be either added or subtracted from the Single Family Rehabilitation program and
HOME funds would be added or subtracted from the New Construction program line. Any addition or subtraction to or from either of these
program lines equaling more than 10% would trigger a substantial amendment to the Annual Action Plan per the currently adopted Citizen

The City of Yakima uses both CDBG and HOME Investment funds to leverage additional resources by assisting housing investment partners
within our community through developers, to construct single family homes to be sold to qualified low to moderate income homebuyers
and/or the construction of affordable housing units through multi -family housing to be rented to qualified low to moderate income tenants. The
city uses these funds as local participation funding to assist with gap financing and in assisting affordable housing developers through the
application process of the Washington State Housing Trust fund as well as the application process in securing affordable housing tax credits for
each development. Match requirements are set by HUD, imposed upon the City of Yakima which are met on an annual basis. Depending upon
the Match requirements imposed, the City of Yakima has an accumulated "Match amount" that has been banked through the years through the
use of volunteers and local non-federal funds. Thus depending upon Match requirement, the City will draw upon that match reserve to fullfill
any match requirements HUD sets. In years past the City of Yakima has been 100% match exempt to 25% match contribution as set by HUD, thus
allowing the city to build up a match reserve account.

If appropriate, describe publically owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that
may be used to address the needs identified in the plan
Currently there is no publically owned land or property under consideration for use that isn't already
addressed in other parts of the plan.
Discussion
As in the past, due to the need to project next years federal budget before it is enacted, this budget is
just a "Projection" of the prior years allocations carried forward. Depending upon the enacted Federal
budget of 2019, whether it is higher or lower than the previous year, the actual amount will be adjusted
in this 2019 Annual Action Plan and submitted to HUD with those adjustments. The amounts projected
here within will change and those changes will be addressed as per outlined within the City of Yakima's
Adopted Citizen Participation Plan.
Since the earlier Citizen Participation, the City of Yakima has been notified of actual "FY 2019
Allocations" which have been inputted within this draft document as per HUD's notification.

Introduction
The City of Yakima does its best to allocate funding for eligible activites meeting national objectives
through individual programs to assist the citizens of Yakima with specific projects to meet a wide variety
of needs.
Many of the specific locations are to be determined throughout the year as need arises through the
Senior/Disabled Emergency Home Repair program.
Also in partnership with many HOME Investment projects the specific addresses are unavailable until
the design and layout of the site has gone through the planning and zoning process prior to site
preparation. Many of the HOME Investment projects take years of development through many types of
funding grant rounds to include state and local funding, environmental reviews, planning and zoning
reviews before a specific address can be allocated.
Also be aware that many of the program numbers served are listed here as an "Approximate number"
due to the ever changing nature of many of the development criteria as listed above. These numbers
are subject to change depending upon the need, cost associated with the development as it goes
through the many reviews, as well as the subject of the development and construction costs that can
rise due to inflation over a long development and construction period.

2019

receives through federal grant awards.
The increased need for decent, safe, affordable housing continues to grow within the city limits of
Yakima as population increases have far surpassed the supply of affordable housing opportunities within
Yakima.
Allocation priorities are set by the elected representatives of the people that sit on the City of Yakima
Council. Public input meetings and public comment periods are observed through the adopted "Citizen
Participation" process as overseen by HUD regulations.
Obstacles to addressing underserved needs is in direct correlation to the limited funding through the
entitlement funding as supplied to the City of Yakima by the Federal Government as set by Congress and
overseen by the department of Housing and Urban Development.

Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically
Low to Moderate income citizens are located city wide and it is not the wish or design by the City of
Yakima to directly or indirectly "steer" people of any race, creed, color or financial level, be it low to
moderate or otherwise into any designated area, real or otherwise. Therefore, the programs are
offered city wide, to qualified appicants.
Discussion
The City of Yakima does not limit any CDBG or HOME Investment funding to any specific geographical
area and all programs are designed to assist eligible applicants and funding within the entire city limits
of Yakima as appropriate.

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing — 91.220(g)
Introduction
The main focus of the City of Yakima through ONDS in using both CDBG and HOME Investment funds is
"Affordable housing". The Single Family Rehabilitation program is focused on rehabilitation of existing
housing to enable the homeowners to continue to reside in their affordable housing, through the
Senior/Disabled Emergency Home Repair Program to include; the Senior/Disabled Wheel Chair ramp
program and the Exterior Paint Program.
ONDS also supports and encourages Affordable housing through the use of HOME funds for; the First
Time Homebuyers Program, the New Construction Program and the use of a minimum of 15% of yearly
entitlement HOME funds in supporting Affordable housing through partnerships with certified CHDO's.

Due to the limited Federal Entitlement funds from HUD, the City of Yakima has cut a number of
programs and continues to serve a growing number of Senior/Disabled homeowners with severe
emergency repairs such as; no heat, no power, no water, no sewer, and deteriorated roofs that have
become insurance concerns that may lead to cancellation.

AP-60 Public Housing — 91.220(h)
Introduction
The City of Yakima continues to support the Yakima Housing Authority (YHA), although indirectly. In the
past, the City of Yakima has supported specific facilities through various ways, even though budget
restrictions severely limit the City's participation in current projects, each request of the YHA is reviewed
individually and participation is given consideration through the Yakima City Council as are other funding
requests.
The Office of Neighborhood Development Services (ONDS) as the local environmental representative for
HUD projects has worked with the YHA to enable projects to have the proper documentation in order to
meet the HUD regulation criteria needed for those specific projects as requested by the YHA.
Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing
The City of Yakima ONDS expects to continue to partner and support the YHA as our limited federal
budget will allow. Specific projects and funding requests will be analyzed and given consideration by due
process regarding the most beneficial use of entitlement funds.
ONDS expects to continue to support the YHA with environmental review and documentation as
requested by the YHA.
Actions to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in management and
participate in homeownership
The Yakima Housing Authority encourages resident involvement with programs like the Resident
Advisory Board (RAB). The RAB provides the YHA and the residents with a forum for sharing information
about the agency's Annual Action Plan. RAB membership is comprised of individuals who reflect and
represent the residents assisted by the public housing agency (PHA). The role of the RAB is to assist the
PHA in developing the PHA Plan and in making any significant amendment or modification to the Plan. In
addition, the Yakima Housing Authoirity is an active participant in crime -free rental housing which altos
the residents to be a part of the local block watch which ONDS participates in every year, inviting the
residents and local organizations to partake in National Night Out.
The YHA also participates in the Yakima County Asset Building Coalition, and they are establishing a
partnership with YVOCAN for the Union Gap and Yakima area. YHA is also in the process of collaborating
with the AmeriCorps VISTA Education Award with the goal of every eligible resident signing up for the
College -Bound Scholarship.
Lastly, YHA is administering the Family Self -Sufficiency (FSS) Program. This program enables families
assisted through the HCV program to increase their earned income and reduce their dependency on

welfare assistance and rental subsidies.
If the PHA is designated as troubled, describe the manner in which financial assistance will be
provided or other assistance
The Yakima Housing Authority is not designated as "troubled".
Discussion
The Yakima Housing Authority continues to do an extraordinary job in assisting Yakima residents with
decent, safe, and affordable housing through its many diverse housing programs. The City of Yakima
looks forward to continuing its partnership with the YHA to provide this type of housing to its residents.

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities — 91.220(i)
Introduction
The "Balance of State" is the coordinator of the Yakima County 10-year Homeless Housing Plan. Balance
of State is comprised of a board group of public, non-profit, and private human service agencies in
Yakima County. Balance of State conducts regular meetings and agendas, updates the Yakima County
Continuum of Care Plan, and organizes annual Point -in -Time Homeless Persons Count.
The City of Yakima recognizes homelessness as the most severe housing problem and strives to prevent
the most at -risk populations from becoming homeless by using CDBG funds for the Single Family
Rehabilitation Program. These programs are designated to help the high -risk senior and disabled groups
with emergency rehabilitation, wheelchair ramps and exterior painting in the hopes that this will allow
them to continue to occupy their current affordable housing units.
ONDS also strives to support affordable housing with its homeownerhip programs, the First Time
Homeownership Program, the New Construction Program and the direct and indirect support of
certified Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs) in creating new single family housing
that is decent, safe, and affordable. This directly affects the homeless by giving them the opportunity to
own their first home, or by indirectly allowing someone in either a rental situation or a public housing
situation to buy their first home and thereby indirectly allow another affordable rental or public housing
unit to be occupied by an otherwise homeless individual or family.
Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness
including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City of Yakima continues to support the Yakima County Continuum of Care Plan as a city policy. The
first priority of Continuum of Care is to maintain existing resources that serve the ends of the homeless
within the community. The plan identifies new projects and services that fill critical gaps in prevention
services, outreach, emergency and transitional housing, support services, and long-term affordable
housing.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Yakima continues to work with the Balance of State through Continuum of Care in addressing
emergency shelters and transitional housing opportunities on an idividual project basis.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
Annual Action Plan 37
2019
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
41
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that
individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
Due to the severely limited Federal funds received by the City of Yakima through reduced entitlements,
the City is unable to address this particular need until additional funding becomes available.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly
funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities,
foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving
assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services,
employment, education, or youth needs.
The City of Yakima, through its Senior/Disabled Emergency Home Repair Program, is often contacted by
local hospital and nursing care facilities about seniors and/or disabled homeowners that need
emergency repairs or wheelchair ramps in order to be allowed to be returned to their homes after being
released from these care facilities.
Discussion
Due to severely limited resources, the City of Yakima continues to direct its attention to assisting
senior/disabled homeowners through its Emergency Home Repair Program to enable the elderly, frail
and disabled to remain in their homes and thereby not becoming homeless and adding to the
Continuum of Care's burden with additional homelessness.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing — 91.220(j)
Introduction:
There are high land costs within the city limits of Yakima, which makes affordable housing expensive to
develop. Even when construction costs may be sustainable, the operation costs for managing special
populations within affordable and/or public housing can make such projects very expensive in the long
run, making them very difficult to develop.
Another barrier to affordable housing is the reduction of federal funds allocated by HUD to the City of
Yakima for affordable housing, along with the ever increasing amount of administrative burden which
outpaces the amount of funds actually used to assist those in need.
Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve
as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment
The City of Yakima continues to work with expanding economic development activities to bolster the
local economy and spur building investment toward the construction of more affordable residential
developments and units. The Community Development Department through its Planning Division
continues to research and recommend new zoning policies to allow a more diverse range of housing
types and make it easier to develop housing in certain areas.
Discussion:
The effective use of Federal allocations to the responsible local entities with a measured reserve of
responsible recording and reporting is the only way of effectively reducing the barrier to affordable
housing at the local level. Increasing the benefit to the low and moderate income workforce that has so
effectively made our great county what it is, is the only way of increasing affordable housing and will not
only effectively raise the entire nations living standard but also serves it well economically.

AP-85 Other Actions — 91.220(k)
Introduction:
The City of Yakima continues to assist its residents with the use of Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) and HOME Investment funds through the Office of Neighborhood Development Services (ONDS)
by assisting qualified low to moderate income applicants with the rehabilitation of their exisisting
homes, as well as stabilization with the use of volunteers and volunteer agencies in cleaning up and
keeping our neighborhoods affordable and stable
The City also provides public services for youth programs through its public community centers - The
Henry Beauchamp (formerly Southeast) Community Center and YPAL. Separate funds are used for the
maintenance of these facilities other than HUD regulated funds.
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs
The City of Yakima will continue to seek federal funding as well as other available funding to overcome
the lack of sufficient funds to address all of the underserved needs.
The City of Yakima Office of Neighborhood Development Services (ONDS) continues to partner with
many non -profits, local service organizations, and other government and non -governmental agencies to
assist in meeting underserved needs.
Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing
As discussed throughout the Consolidated Plan and elsewhere in this Annual Action Plan, the City of
Yakima has a wide variety of programs directed at maintaining affordable existing housing through
rehabilitation, as well as new single family dwellings through its homeownership program.
The City of Yakima continues to partner with local affordable housing agencies.
Actions planned to reduce lead -based paint hazards
As discussed in the Five -Year Consolidated Plan, ONDS aligns all of its rehabilitation programs with the
Washington State lead -based paint refulations and continues to presume any disturbed paint surfaces
are "Possible lead hazards" and thus are treated according to the state's regulations and HUD's lead -
based paint policy.
ONDS has both certified supervisors and staff on hand to assess and address lead -based paint as well as
hires certified state lead -based paint professionals to deal with all projects with potential lead -based

paint disturbed surfaces.
Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty -level families
The City of Yakima continues to address economic development opportunities to bring more businesses
and jobs to Yakima that pay decent living wages, as well as encourage growth and development of
existing opportunities to assist poverty -level families.
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
The City of Yakima continues to work with existing agencies and departments within Yakima as well as
consultants and other governmental bodies outside Yakima to strengthen and enhance the current
institutional structure. We will continue to seek out partnerships with organizations as well as private
enterprises to further develop the institutional structure.
Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social
service agencies
The City of Yakima through the Office of Neighborhood Development Services (ONDS) will continue to
coordinate with public and private housing and social service agencies through committee meetings and
consultation to coordinate services to the residents of Yakima.
Discussion:
ONDS has served its community for over 40 years through its vast and varied programs, administering all
kinds of Federal and State funds over the years, towards the betterment of the community and with a
focus on affordable housing.
Partnerships with other organizations have been instrumental in continuing affordable housing within
Yakima with every agency struggling with funding from the past serveral years of economic
struggle. The City of Yakima has focused on being a good steward of both CDBG and HOME Investment
funds and stretching those dwindling resources to the best of its ability in serving the community.
The City of Yakima continues to strive for affordable housing with the assistance of the community,
neighborhoods and partners in effectively using its entitlement funds.

HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(I)(2)
1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is
as follows:
ONDS uses two "Non -Federal" funding sources to administer ongoing "affordability periods" of past
HOME Investment projects in compliance with HUD program regulations.
ONDS also expects to obligate HOME Investment program income to the construction of two Multi-
family affordable rental projects;
• One project is to construct an 80 unit affordable rental complex that will serve extremely low, low
and moderate income individuals and families.
• Another project is to include the rehabilitation of an existing building and newly constructed multi-
family housing units to provide rental units for low to moderate income veterans.
• Both these projects are described within the "AP-30 Projects" section of this plan.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used
for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
When the City of Yakima makes a loan of HOME Investment funds, that loan is secured by a
promissory note and deed of trust. Within those documents is language that specifies the
disposition of funds in the event of a sale.
The City of Yakima uses the "Full Recapture" provision in the following manner;
If the Homebuyer decides to sell, rent or dispose of the property at any time before the expiration of
the affordability period, "Full Recapture" provision goes into effect, and in the event of a sale
or foreclosure, will trigger repayment of the entire HOME direct subsidy loan amount (Recapture).
The Recapture amount is based on net proceeds from the voluntary sale or foreclosure. The net
proceeds of a sale are the sales proceeds minus non -Home loan repayments and any closing costs.
As per regulation 92.545(ii)(A) says in establishing the PJ's recapture requirements, the PJ is subject
to the limitation that when the recapture requirement is triggered by a sale (voluntary or
involuntary) of the housing unit, the amount recaptured cannot exceed the net proceeds, if any.
The net proceeds are the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than the direct subsidy
HOME funds) and any closing costs. Furthermore, if there are no net proceeds- the amount to be
recaptured would be zero, given that the City of Yakima may not recapture more than the amount
of the net proceeds. If the net proceeds are some portion but do not fully equal your HOME direct
subsidy investment amount that would be the amount to recapture. To clarify, the recapture
Annual Action Plan 43
2019

amount is based on the direct HOME subsidy as per HUD requirements.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired
with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
When the City of Yakima makes a loan of HOME funds, that loan is secured by a promissory note
and deed of trust. Within those documents is language that specifies the disposition of funds in the
even of a sale.
The City of Yakima uses the "Full Recapture" provision in the following manner;
If the Homebuyer decides to sell, rent or dipose of the property at any time before the expiration of
the affordability period "Full Recapture" provision goes into effect, and in the event of a sale,
foreclosure, will trigger repayment of the entire HOME direct subsidy loan amount. (Recapture).
The Recapture amount is based on net proceeds from the voluntary sale or foreclosure. The net
proceeds of a sale are the sales price minus non -HOME loan repayments and any closing costs.
As per regulation 92.545 (ii)(A) says in establishing the PJ's recapture requirements, the PH is subject
to the limitation that when the recapute requirement is triggered by a sale (voluntary or
involuntary) of the housing unit, the amount recaptured cannot exceed the net proceeds, if any.
The net proceeds are the sales price minus superior loan repayment (other than the direct subsidy
HOME funds) and any closing costs. Furthermore, if there are no net proceeds- the amount to be
recaptured would be zero, given that the City of Yakima may not recapture more than the amount
of net proceeds. If the net proceeds are some portion but do not fully equal the HOME direct
subsidy investment amount that would be the amount to recapture.
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is
rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that
will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
The City of Yakima currently has no plans for refinancing any existing debt secured by multifamily
housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds. If such actions are decided by the Yakima City
Council and amendment of the Consolidated Plan will be sought and the required refinancing
guidelines will be defined at that time as part of the Amendment.

BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEM ENT
Item No. 6.D.
For Meeting of: June 4, 2019
Resolution adopting the 2019 Annual Action Plan for Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Fund Programs
Joan Davenport, Al CP, Community Development Director
Archie Matthews, O N DS Manager (509) 576-6761
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Every year the City of Yakima is required by the Federal Housing and Urban Development
Department (HUD) to provide an Annual Action Plan that outlines the City of Yakima's budget
plans for using Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement funds and HOME
Investment dollars to meet the needs of its low to moderate income citizens with "eligible
activities".
The CDBG program has three primary objectives: to benefit low and moderate income persons,
to assist with problems relating to slum and blight, and to assist with urgent health and welfare
needs. The program can thus provide assistance in a broad range of activities and services, but
at least 70% of all funds must be spent on assisting people with issues related to low income.
The HOME Program can only assist low/moderate income persons with issues relating to
housing; which can range from new construction of single-family to rental housing and down
payment assistance for first time homebuyers. Investment of the federal funds received through
the CDBG and HOME programs is guided by the annual action plan. Following considerable
citizen input from many sources, under the guidance of Yakima City Council members, and as
recommended by the HUD regulations, the plan is a proposed budget for FY2019 programs.
The 2019 Annual Action Plan has been advertised and was available for written public comment
from January 22, 2019 through February 21, 2019. No comments were received during the
public comment period.
