BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 11.
For Meeting of: July 16, 2019
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing a contract with Yakima Housing Authority for
$1,000,000 of HOME Investment funds to assist with the
redevelopment and construction of the Veteran's Supportive
Housing & Service Center project located at the former US Marine
Corp Armory at 1702 Tahoma Avenue
SUBMITTED BY: Joan Davenport, Community Development Director
Archie Matthews, O N DS Manager(509) 575-6101
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Yakima Housing Authority has requested HOME funds from the City of Yakima to assist with
redevelopment and construction located at the United States Marine Corp Armory to provide
services and approximately 40 housing units for homeless veterans. This project completed
zoning and environmental review necessary for site development. The approval process took
approximately six months.
The project known as the "YHA Veteran Supportive Housing & Service Center" is estimated to
be over 7 million dollars in project development costs. Funding is from a partnership including
Banner Bank($750,000), Red Stone Equity Partners ($175,000), and City of Yakima
($1,000,000).
As the annual recipient of HOME Investment funds from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development(HUD), the City of Yakima must invest these funds for Affordable Housing within its
jurisdiction. The City of Yakima, in granting available HOME funds, allows for continued decent,
safe, and affordable housing within the City of Yakima that serves low to moderate income
citizens and in this case veterans.
Projects that receive funding from the City of Yakima HOME program must be consistent with the
City Consolidated Plan, which guides HOME funding, as well as the City Comprehensive Plan.
Funding through HOME program requires the applicant to have a HUD compliant Management
Plan and ensure the housing units meet affordability requirements for a minimum of 20 years.

A.) PROPOSAL SUMMARY/PROJECT ABSTRACT
Redevelopment of the former United States Marine Corp Armory, to include
rehabilitation of existing structures to provide social service programs for homeless
veterans and construction of 41 affordable housing units.

income housing under the Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit program with units
restricted to renters qualifying at 30%, 40% and 60% of area median income.

2. Rehabilitate and/or construct 41 new housing units.
3. Rent the affordable housing units to qualified veteran tenants below 60% of the
Area Median Income. (AMI) through the mandated twenty (20) year affordability
period.
D.) METHODOLOGY
From the contract execution date to continue until the termination date as specified
within this contract, the Yakima Housing Authority will rehabilitate existing buildings and
construct new dwelling units to provide social services and 41 affordable housing units.
These units will be rented to qualified low to moderate income tenants below 60%AMI
and at least five of these floating units will be monitored for a twenty (20) year
affordability period per HUD regulations governing HOME Investment funded projects.
E.) OUTCOMES & EVALUATION
As a condition of reimbursement, the Yakima Housing Authority will,

construction and rent of the five (5) units to qualified low to moderate income tenants as subject
to the terms and conditions of the Contract.
G.)Environmental Mitigation
Mitigation will occur in conjunction with renovation and new construction. The noise will
be mitigated with construction practices common to the Yakima region and will be
documented through construction inspections. The non-friable asbestos and intact lead
containing building materials will be abated prior to renovation tasks by licensed
abatement contractors and will be documented by third-party clearance inspections and
testing. The localized area of mold growth will be removed prior to renovations tasks by
qualified contractors and documented by third party inspections. The lead and arsenic
containing soil mitigation plan was developed in consultation with the Washington State
Department of Ecology. The contaminated soil will be mitigated during new
construction earthworks by complete removal in storm water areas confirmed by third
20 of 2 City of Yakima 6/23/2019
party sampling areas, and engineering controls in areas designated to be capped
documented by construction inspections. Following completion of renovation and new
construction an operations and maintenance manual will be issued and the soil
remediation project will be reviewed by the Washington State Department of Ecology
and is expected to receive no further action determination.
Copies of all mitigation inspection reports will be supplied to the City of Yakima Office of
Neighborhood Development Services for verification of completion within 30 days of the
termination of this contract. This submission does not relieve the Yakima Housing
Authority from its obligation to maintain and retain records as described elsewhere in
this contract.
