March 24, 2021 Meeting Minutes — It was motioned by Commissioner Rose and seconded by Commissioner Wallace to approve the meeting minutes of March 24, 2021. The motion carried unanimously. Housing Action Plan Study Session — Calhoun showed the HAP webpage including where to find relevant documents, zoom hearing link, and how to provide comment. Liddicoat asked about layout, the webpage will be re -arranged to be more intuitive. Calhoun introduced our consultant for the HAP, Radhika Nair from BERK Consulting. Nair provided an introduction on the plan including background on the Department of Commerce grant, with a completion date of June 2021. The plan will outline a set of concrete steps to increase housing supply and diversity to meet local housing needs. Nair discussed the process steps for the HAP: 1) develop outreach and engagement plan; 2) assess housing needs; 3) evaluate market conditions; 4) develop strategies to address needs; 5) evaluate opportunities for infill; and 6) develop HAP. Community engagement and input occurred through engagement with the Community Integration Committee, community survey, city council/city manager interviews, technical advisory committee, roundtable in a box, and the legislative process. Top priorities identified during engagement included affordability, availability, homelessness, quality of housing, and safety. Place asked about anti -displacement strategies, Nair discussed many of the strategies that address anti -displacement. Some strategies are suggested by HUD, others from Dept. of Commerce, experience with other cities, and TAC. Deliverables currently available — Webpage, public engagement, housing needs assessment, policy and regulatory review, preliminary draft HAP. Remaining work is completion of the legislative process and delivery of the Final HAP to fulfill grant requirements. The plan includes the following chapters: Developing the HAP; Objectives and Strategies — 6 primary objectives and subsequent Priority 1, 2, and 3 strategies; Implementation and Timeline; Monitoring and Key Indicators; and Appendices — Community Engagement, Housing Needs Assessment, Policy and Regulatory Review, Potential City -owned Catalyst Sites, and Displacement Risk Analysis. Priority 1 Strategies were discussed: 1) update city regulations to remove barriers to innovative housing types; 2) Make strategic investments in infrastructure; 3) Encourage rent -to -own opportunities; 4) Expand and update down payment assistance programs; 5) Develop, acquire, or sell surplus or under-utilized city property; and 6) Incentivize landlords to improve the quality and maintenance of housing. Commissioners discussed some of the priority strategy language related to zoning, infrastructure, and development standards. Councilmember Funk discussed the beneficial comments from the building community and the concern about Pacific Power and the development process. Nair discussed the recent interviews with the building community that are incorporated into the HAP. Calhoun mentioned that Council recently approved a letter to Pacific Power related to the development process, and noted that staff would verify that the correct contact people are from PPL are receiving notices from the City on development projects. Hughes -Mickel asked about the composition of the TAC, those members were listed. There are specific entities required per the grant which were included on the TAC. In developing the group, several people were invited who were not able to participate. Further discussion followed regarding Pacific Power, the development process, and Councilmember Funk brought up lead -arsenic contamination. Rose discussed the process of the plan and the relationship of infrastructure to the development process. Additional discussion occurred regarding the interaction between development and infrastructure. Rose stated that the focus should be on making it easier to get the infrastructure where it is needed — need to come up with a way to get people on board to participate in deferral/latecomers agreements. Wallace verified that the purpose of the study session is to look at the plan as a whole, and identify short and long term goals, which is correct. Councilmember Funk voiced her concern with the development of the HAP and the issue with Pacific Power. Nair discussed the selection of the TAC members, which follow grant requirements such as service providers, residents, the faith community, real estate, etc., which the TAC makeup adhered to. Calhoun discussed that several letters were sent to groups such as the landlords association and the association of realtors and those groups were not able to participate. Calhoun went through next steps — YPC will make a recommendation on the plan which will be forwarded' to council. Place noted that entities like PPL and Nob H•ill Water are private that the city doesn't regulate but works with in collaboration. Calhoun discussed the legacy pesticides working group process, which was a separate process headed by the State. Model remedies have been developed by the state. The City applied fora grant to look at the feasibility of a soil bank, which was not funded. City staff has already discussed how to increase density in areas encumbered by legacy pesticides. Commissioners will be looking at strategies and discussed the code reviews that will be happening as a result of the HAP. McCormick asked if the County is going through a similar process — they are not. Commissioners discussed the potential for future collaboration with Yakima County. Hughes -Mickel noted that the recommendations are very good and inquired where the YPC will have impact. Calhoun noted that the strategies are designated as either city or partner lead. Commissioners agreed to review the strategies in preparation for the 4/28 public hearing. Liddicoat asked about expectations at the hearing, specifically related to those items in the HAP which aren't specifically under the purview of the YPC. Calhoun stated the expectations of the YPC is to make a recommendation on the plan. Many of the strategies are city -led and others 2 aren't. Several potential partners have been involved in the process and offered input on the draft. A track changes version of the plan will be developed after the YPC hearing to include any changes. Commissioners discussed the potential to have another study session, commissioners will provide feedback by the end of the week and a study session will be scheduled for 4/21 if needed. Wallace discussed a real -world example related to parking, which is strategy 14. Hughes - Mickel asked if part of the recommendation could be to re -number the priorities, which is appropriate. Calhoun noted that the lead for strategy 14 should be City, not Partner. Calhoun discussed strategy 2 and how the extension of infrastructure, particularly utilities, and how that would enable more development for ADUs and higher density. Other Business — None Adjourn — A motion to adjourn to April 28, 2021 was passed with unanimous vote.

HAP Documents Adding Appendix F — Providing Housing for Future Households by Income The purpose of this appendix is to compare the 2040 growth target of 5,517 dwelling units across the income spectrum. If income percentages stayed the same throughout the planning period, about 45-51 % of future households would need housing affordable at 80% or lower AMI (Area Median Income). The exhibit models a range to estimate future housing need by income band. This includes an estimate based on Yakima County's current distribution of household income and one based on the City of Yakima's distribution of household income.

Page 13: Strategy 1. Update city regulations to remove barriers to innovative housing types. Add clarifying text and additional examples. 1. Update city regulations to remove barriers to innovative housing types. Description. Most housing in the City of Yakima is single-family (65% of all housing inventory) or multifamily of three or more units (22% of all housing inventory). Supporting innovative housing types and arrangements will more fully meet the needs and preferences of Yakima's community members. For example, community engagement revealed that many Yakima residents seek multigenerational, senior, and more affordable housing opportunities that these types of innovative housing can facilitate. There are a wide variety of housing types that help reduce housing costs and fit into a small-town character. Each is defined below. Tiny homes are small dwelling units on a foundation or on a carriage with wheels with between 150-400 square feet of habitable floor area. They are affordable compared with traditional site -built homes. They may be located on their own lot, serve as an accessory dwelling unit, or be located in a village arrangement in a manufactured home or RV park. Their small size and cottage like nature make them compatible in single-family areas on their own lot or as an accessory dwelling unit. They may offer temporary or long-term housing for seasonal workers such as in a manufactured home or RV park. Senate Bill (SB) 5383, passed in May 2019, legally permitted tiny houses as permanent dwellings in Washington State; as a result, the State Building Council adopted International Residential Code standards that apply to tiny houses, effective in November 2020. SB 5383 also expanded RCW 58.17.040(5) of the subdivision statute to allow the creation of tiny house villages such as through a binding site plan and stops cities from prohibiting tiny houses in manufactured/mobile home parks. House Bill (HB) 1085, passed in 2018, also allows local jurisdictions to remove minimum unit size limitations on detached houses. • Microhomes are small dwellings in a multifamily style. There are two types: I Congregate housing "sleeping rooms" are often in the 140-200 square -foot range and may include private bathrooms and kitchenettes. Shared facilities include kitchens, gathering areas, and other common amenities for residents. I A small efficiency dwelling unit (SEDU) is a very small studio apartment including a complete kitchen and bathroom. Typically, the units will be as small as 220 square feet of total floor space, as compared to 300 square feet for the smallest typical conventional studio apartments. Microhomes are more Page 4 affordable apartment units, and could be located in commercial, mixed -use, and high - density multifamily zones. • Modular homes are structures that are built offsite, then transported to a permanent site, They differ from manufactured or mobile homes in that modular homes are constructed to meet the same state, regional, or local building codes as site -built homes, while manufactured homes adhere to national HUD code standards. Co-op housing is a form of shared housing in which a cooperative corporation owns housing, and residents own stock shares in the corporation and participate in governance of the cooperative.10 Shared property, usually including a common house, is part of what defines this type of housing. These spaces allow residents to gather for shared meals, activities, and celebrations as well as the collaborative work required to care for the spaces. Multi- enerational homes are desi ned to rovide s ace for multi le enerations livin to ether under one roof with each eneration benefttin from their own se arate s ace and iirivacv, The design of the home is similar to a striple-family residence irt outward a earance with an interior la out des i ned around common areas with se arate spaces for the different family grpuPs, Other related dwelling unit types include cottages — a cluster of small dwelling units, generally less than 1,200 square feet, around a common open space — and zero -lot line development, which allows a zero or minimal setback normally required within a particular zone thus promoting efficient use of buildable land. Zero -lot line development is common with townhouse developments and may also be designed as an attached single-family home. The City of Yakima has made several changes recently to encourage the above housing types. Tiny houses on an individual lot are currently treated the same as a regular single-family home. The City has also updated its definition of multifamily development to include any residential use where three or more dwellings are on the same lot. This can be 3+ tiny homes, a duplex and a tiny home, or other combinations. A new manufactured home can be placed anywhere a single- family home can locate, consistent with state law. However, process and level of review for these housing types can be improved. For example, to build a tiny home on a new smaller single lot (smaller than the city's current minimum lot size requirement of 6,000 SF) one must go through a Planned Development process. Streamlining and simplifying the review process for smaller housing types can further support encourage these housing types. Gaps Addressed. Yakima needs to create housing units at a rate of 295 units annually through 2040. Housing like tiny homes and modular housing is often less expensive to develop than traditional, single-family homes. These cost savings could help encourage and facilitate the development of more housing that can also be more attainable for households with lower incomes. This housing is often also more suitable for small households, for whom Yakima currently has a shortage of housing options. Cooperative housing can provide a more affordable opportunity for homeownership than traditional single-family homeownership. Yakima, like many communities in Washington, also has a shortage of farmworker housing. Innovative housing types can provide farmworkers with high -quality housing that meets local codes, but at a lower cost to developers. Page 5 DOC. IN # A-1 Considerations. Additional options to encourage tiny homes, micro housing, cottage homes, multi -generational homes and others include: • Allowing for different zoning/density options foe-tiny-4g e grationaincluding -tiny h eolusters-oravillag estarata ett housing -dust incorporate the above -listed housing types. • Density/massing and review process: Consider allowing a higher number of units than typical for the zone, due to the smaller home size or where legacy pesticides are present. Some density increase is essential because the units are smaller and usually more expensive to build on a cost/square feet basis. Consider applying a maximum floor area ratio limit or an across the board allowed density for tiny houses, for instance one tiny house per 1,200 square foot of lot area. Consider reduced development standards such as lot covera e and setbacks for multi- enerational homes, • Design elements. Provide design standards in a manner similar to cottage housing clusters: Consider providing design standards for both common open spaces and semiprivate open spaces for individual cottages. Permit construction of a shared community building to provide a space for gathering and sharing tools. I Ray close attention to how parking can/should be integrated with tny-houeeGkisterincreased density. Example Communities • Cohousing: Haystack Heights in Spokane is an intergenerational village that is close to downtown with clustered townhouses and flats to maximize efficiency, interaction, and green space. Designed to include 39 units spread out among four buildings, the development includes spaces to share skills and facilities. 6. Page 22: Strategy 6. lncentivize landlords to improve the quality and maintenance of housing. Add additional language regarding the landlord mitigation fund. Example 1-ss • Through its low-income weatherization program Pacific Power partners with local agencies to provide free weatherization services to income -qualifying homeowners and renters living in single-family homes, mobile homes or apartments. Based on the home's needs, a variety of measures can be installed to lower electric bills while keeping homes comfortable. • The Colorado Landlord Incentive Program/Landlords Opening Doors program offers participating landlords' reimbursement for short-term vacancies and minor unit repairs when they rent units to a low-income renter with a housing voucher. To be eligible, a landlord must participate in the Landlord Recruitment Campaign. The threshold for repairs is up to $300 and not more than $1,000. • In 2018 the Washin ton State Landlord Miti ation Law RCW 43.31.605 became effective to provide landlords with an incentive and added security to work with tenants receiving rental assistance. The program offers such incentives as reimbursement for required movegn u rades u to 14 da s' rent loss and reimbursement for dama es caused by a tenant. Page 6 IN c 7. Page 28: Strategy 10. Add more permanent supportive housing. Add clarifying language on potential partners. Considerations. Communities are almost never able to provide permanent supportive housing for all households that need it; need outstrips supply, and many individuals who need permanent supportive housing will not receive the service. Coordination is also key to success. The City should coordinate with the local I y-providersidevelopers forof homeless services to ensure that any plans for permanent supportive housing are consistent with the countywide plan for homelessness services. Example Programs • Yakima Neighborhood Health Services offers permanent, supportive housing though a program called Master Lease. The program is based on relationships with local landlords who lease with the program to house those experiencing homelessness. Once housed, clients receive regular case management from trained staff who support the participant's decision -making in their help-t e-the-rigistade 'sions-to—entinue-the path to self-sufficiency. Through the recently completed Rhonda D. Hauff Resource Center (RDH), Yakima Neighborhood Health Services also offers temporary and permanent supportive housing for up to 37 people and provides case managers who connect residents to health care, mental health services, legal aide, employment, and other basic needs-s- earthy -long -- housing, and jobs. 8. Page 29: Strategy 11. Coordinate seasonal farmworker housing as severe -winter shelters. Add clarifying language to focus on city -limits rather than county, and change "coordinate" to "support" as the city will not be the lead in this effort. -* E:gnat&Support seasonal farmworker housing as severe -winter shelters. Considerations. The rnaj of- publidy-ft. ono - or - • ^* "rn-Yakthla County-areaccated- tsie - oity-o oh -a -pro arivotticf-tikety-requirie4egional r e -city of Yakima is a desiralsle location for farmworker housing due to its central location and proximit to services, However, farmworker housind is usually riot at full capacitV during the winter months. Farmworker housing facilities that receive public (state or federal) funds for construction or operations may be restricted in who they can serve. Advocacy with the legislature to remove these requirements will be needed. For example, the Department of Revenue's (DOR) policy is that any use other than farmworker housing during the winter in the first five years would make a property ineligible for the sales tax exemption provided for farmworker housing. 9. Page 32: Strategy 13. Continue to support education programs on homeownership. Simplifying language to be more generalized. Description. Many residents have needs for housing support programs that extend beyond mere production of units. First-time homeowners p.ciaUy -tile he .re new to tiqe-Go- barriers hkeoere4t face several barriers to own homes, such as little or poor credit. Homeowner education helps residents prepare for the process of purchasing a home and the challenges of being a new homeowner. The City of Yakima's Office of Neighborhood Development Services (ONDS) currently works with Habitat for Humanity to educate t gh Page 7 "certified" first time homebuyer classes, counsel credit, and assist to secure financial assistance. Continued support for this program is necessary. 10. Page 33: Strategy 14. Revise parking standards in key areas. Minor change — City should be Lead, not Partner for this strategy 11. Page 39: Strategy 17. Give grants/loans to directly support small businesses. Add mixed -use aspect to tie the strategy to housing. Description. Support small businesses and cultural anchors in mixed -use buildings to help them invest in their space and keep up with rent. Gaps Addressed. This strategy helps with affordable housing in the community by supporting small businesses and helping them to make rent costs. Vacant commercial space in a mixed - use building may result in higher rents for residential tenants. Considerations. Economic development programs can help to support small businesses. Restrictions on city funds can make it difficult for local governments to support small businesses. Instead, communities are using federal and private funds that do not have the same strict restrictions on use of general city funds to support rent and operating costs for small businesses. Community lenders can help to meet small businesses' needs, and the City could help to connect businesses with these lenders. 12. Page 46: Strategy 23. Encourage micro -retail and flexible cultural space design General Comment — consider combining with Strategy 17 13. Page 63: Implementation The Yakima County Homeless Coalition and Homeless Network of Yakima County will be added as potential partners to strategies where Stability is the Objective. 14. Page 76: Monitoring Adding additional clarifying language Monitoring In order to monitor the results of HAP actions in com arison to the 2040 Com Plan oal of constructing an average of 295 dwelling units/year, Tthe city intends to monitor and evaluate HAP implementation and outcomes on a regular basis. Performance monitoring will show whether HAP actions are achieving the desired results. This will allow the city to be flexible and agile to any refinements to actions that may be necessary and focus limited public dollars on actions that are most effective. Key indicators based on results from the Housing Needs Assessment will be used to monitor performance. Key Indicators The following key indicators were selected to reflect the overall desired outcomes of this Housing Action Plan. These indicators reflect success over the long-term, rather than easy wins DOC. IND Page 8 in the one- to two-year timeframe. Indicators are intended to capture important pieces of the larger puzzle that is a healthy, equitable housing market. Importantly, an adjustment in strategy is needed if Yakima is not making progress with these indicators. Key Indicator 1: Annual production rate of ADU, duplex, townhome, smaller multifamily (49 units or less), and multifamily units overall. This reflects the goal of increasing the mix of housing choices in Yakima. • Key Indicator 2: Monitor and track the units built for seniors. This reflects the goal of increasing housing affordable to the city's older residents. Key Indicator 3: Cost -burden of residents and the share of residents with low- and moderate -incomes in the city. This reflects the goal of increasing housing affordable to the city's low -and moderate -income residents. Conclusions 1. The proposed Housing Action Plan is consistent with RCW 36.70A.600 and the requirements of our Department of Commerce Grant. 2. Comments received during the public comment period have been addressed. 3. SEPA Environmental Review was completed.

PCITY OF YAKIMA arming ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA) (AS TAKEN FROM WAC 197-11-960) YAKIMA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 6.88 PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST Governmental agencies use this checklist to help determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant. This information is also helpful to determine if available avoidance, minimization or compensatory mitigation measures will address the probable significant impacts or if an environmental impact statement will be prepared to further analyze the proposal. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Please answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. You may need to consult with an agency specialist or private consultant for some questions. You may use "not applicable" or "does not apply" only when you can explain wily it does not apply and not when the answer is unknown. You may also attach or incorporate by reference additional studies reports. Complete and accurate answers to these questions often avoid delays with the SEPA process as well as later in the decision -making process. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help you describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS For non -project proposals (such as ordinances, regulations, plans and programs), complete the applicable parts of sections A and B plus the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Please completely answer all questions that apply and note that the words "project", "applicant", and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proponent," and "affected geographic area," respectively. The lead agency may exclude (for non -projects) questions in Part B — Environmental Elements — that do not contribute meaningfully to the analysis of the proposal. A.

List any government approvals or permits that will be needed for your proposal, if known: Planning Commission recommendation and City Council adoption. 11. Give a brief, but complete description of your proposal, including the proposed uses and the size of the project and site. There are several questions later in this checklist that ask you to describe certain aspects of your proposal. You do not need to repeat those answers on this page. (Lead agencies may modify this form to include additional specific information on project description.): The Housing Action Plan (HAP) is the City of Yakima's plan for promoting affordable housing options for all community members across the city's neighborhoods. Affordable housing has many implications for Yakima. Housing has a demonstrated relationship to improved life outcomes for children. Yet many young families with modest incomes face challenges finding a home in Yakima, and many senior households face difficulties staying in the community that has been their home for years. Workers who serve the community cannot afford to live near their jobs and face longer commutes, adding to regional and local congestion. The HAP's goal is to increase affordable housing opportunities for all households to improve community and economic health. The Housing Action Plan's six objectives are: 1. Encourage diverse housing development within existing neighborhoods. 2. Create and preserve affordable homes. 3. Create homeownership opportunities for low- and moderate- income households. 4. Support housing options that meet the diverse needs of older adults. 5. Address the needs of those struggling with homelessness. 6. Protect against displacement and poor housing conditions. The Housing Action Plan is a five-year strategy that supports and guides city actions and existing long-range planning, including the 2024 update of the City of Yakima's Comprehensive Plan. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range, if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist: The proposed Housing Action Plan update would apply to the Yakima City Limits and any future annexation areas.

Los Angeles makes a $1.2 billion bet on a du ious s homelessness. In 2016 influential political leaders, activists, and media outlets in Los Angeles said they had a simple solution to homelessness: build more housing. Echoing an argument heard across the country, they claimed that rising rents have thrown people onto the streets and that by directly providing free "permanent supportive housing," cities can reduce the number of people on the streets and save costs on emergency services. In response, 77% of Los Angeles voters approved a $1.2 billion bond for the construction of 10,000 units for the city's homeless. That commitment made Los Angeles the most significant testing ground for the "Housing First" approach that has become the dominant policy idea on homelessness for West Coast cities. Even before the passage of the bond, the concept's creator, Sam Tsemberis, was lavished with praise by the national media. In 2015, the Washington Post wrote that Tsemberis had "all but solved chronic homelessness" and that his research "commands the support of most scholars." In the years since, "Housing First" has taken even greater hold in California and the across the West. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti recently declared that "we need to have an entitlement to housing." California Gov. Gavin Newsom went a step further, arguing that "doctors should be able to write prescriptions for housing the same way they do for insulin or antibiotics." Five years in, the project has been plagued by construction delays, massive cost overruns, and Dccusations of corruption. The Los Angeles city controller issued a scathing report, "The High Cost of Homeless Housing," which shows that some studio and one -bedroom apartments were costing taxpayers more than $700,000 each, with 40% of total costs devoted to consultants, lawyers, fees, and permitting. The project is a boon for real estate developers and a constellation of nonprofits and service providers, but a boondoggle for taxpayers. The physical apartment units are bare -bones — small square footage, cheap flooring, vinyl surfaces — but have construction costs similar to luxury condos in the fashionable parts of Los Angeles. Meanwhile, unsheltered homelessness has Increased 41%, vastly outpacing the construction of new supportive housing units. Los Angeles magazine, which initially supported the measure, now wonders whether it has become "a historic public housing debacle." Before completing a single housing unit, the city reduced its projected construction from 10,000 units to 5,873 units over 10 years, with the potential for further reductions in the future. But the long-term problem runs much deeper: Even if one accepts that permanent supportive housing is the solution, there are currently more than 66,000 homeless people in Los Angeles County. Under the best -case scenario, Proposition HHH will solve less than 10% of the problem over the course of a decade. 2 Despite Housing First's uncertainties, other West Coast cities desperate to solve homelessness, including Seattle and San Francisco, have been captured by its seductive messaging and promise of respite. As Los Angeles grapples with the unforeseen consequences of its big bet on "Housing First," the federal, state, and local governments, especially in major metropolitan areas, are preparing to commit billions of dollars to the program, whose track record remains woefully underexamined. Ever since clinical psychologist Tsemberis pioneered the model in New York City in the 1990s, political leaders, activists, and academics have insisted that Housing First is an "evidence -based" intervention that reduces homelessness, saves taxpayer money, and improves lives. Supporters frequently argue that the program reduced costs in a study of chronic alcoholics in Seattle, consistently demonstrates high retention rates in multiple academic surveys, and eliminated chronic homelessness in Utah. "We're going to stem this crisis by building supportive housing in every neighborhood throughout Los Angeles," City Council member Herb Wesson recently claimed. These studies, however, are not as persuasive as activists suggest. Although the study of chronic alcoholics in Seattle does show a net reduction in monthly social service costs of $2,449 per person, this figure does not include $11 million in capital and construction costs for the housing units themselves; in other words, Housing First saves money if the cost of housing is not included. Even on its own favorable terms, the study's purported savings aren't as dramatic as they appear: While the Housing First participants showed a 63% reduction in service costs over six months, a wait -listed control group that was not provided housing showed a 42% reduction in service costs over the same time period, raising questions about the specific effectiveness of the intervention. Claims that studies show one-year retention rates of roughly 80% for Housing First participants are open to question. In a rneta-study of three best -in -class Housing 3 First sites, researchers found that 43% remained in housing for the first 12 months, 41% were "intermittent stayers" who left and returned, and 16% abandoned the program or died within the first year. These findings challenge the argument that Housing First is a long-term solution to homelessness. Finally, advocates and the media have long touted Utah as the gold standard of Housing First. "The Daily Show" called the state's program "mind-blowing," the Los Angeles Times reported in 2015 that Utah "is winning the war on chronic homelessness," and dozens of media outlets announced that the state "reduced chronic homelessness by 91%." These miraculous results, however, were not the result of Housing First policies, but apparently clerical manipulation by state officials. According to the Deseret News and economist Kevin Corinth, "As much as 85% of Utah's touted reductions in chronic homelessness ... may have been due to changes in how the homeless were counted." It's not that all of the chronically homeless were housed; they were simply transposed onto a new spreadsheet. Moreover, between 2016 and 2018, the number of unsheltered homeless in Utah nearly doubled - hardly the victory that Housing First activists had declared. The recent debate surrounding Housing First has predominantly been focused on the physical and budgetary metrics of housing retention and cost reductions. But these surface -level concerns obscure a deeper question: What happens to the human beings in these programs? The results, according to the vast majority of studies, point to a grim conclusion: Housing First does not meaningfully improve human lives. Although housing programs are often an effective solution for families experiencing a temporary loss of shelter, Housing First programs do not have a strong track record improving the lives of the unsheltered homeless — the people in tents, cars, and on the streets — who often suffer from more severe challenges. According to research by the California Policy Lab, 75% of the unsheltered homeless have substance abuse condition, 78% have mental health conditions, and 84% have 4 physical health conditions. In theory, Housing First would address these problems. In every program, residents are offered a wide range of services. At the Pathways to Housing program in New York City, a flagship program founded by Sam Tsemberis himself, residents are served by an "interdisciplinary team of professionals that includes social workers, nurses, psychiatrists, and vocational and substance abuse counselors who are available to assist consumers 7 days a week 24 hours a day." However, despite this massive intervention, the Pathways program shows no reduction in substance abuse or psychiatric symptoms over time - in fact, those conditions often worsened. This basic finding is confirmed by a range of studies showing that residents of Housing First programs show no improvement regarding addiction and mental illness. They are housed but broken, wracked by the cruelest psychoses, compulsions, and torments - all under the guise of medical care. A Housing First experiment in Ottawa, Canada, illustrates this paradoxical outcome in stark terms. Researchers divided the study into two populations: an "intervention" group that was provided Housing First and access to primary care, medically assisted treatment, social workers, and on -demand services; and a non- intervention "control" group that was not provided housing or services they were simply left on the streets. To the shock of the researchers, after 24 months the non- intervention control group reported better results regarding substance abuse, mental health, quality of life, >family `relations, and mortality than the Housing First group. In other words, doing nothing resulted in superior human outcomes than providing Housing First with wraparound services. One explanation may be that Housing First programs are deliberately not oriented toward recovery, rehabilitation, and renewal. They operate on the "harm reduction" model, which allows residents to continue using drugs such as alcohol, heroin, and methamphetamine, and does not require mental health treatment as a condition of residency. In theory, this permissive policy would help "reduce harm" to the individual; in practice, however, it may create a community -level effect that makes it hard for any individual to find recovery. Here is the basic chain of events: Homeless individuals with substance abuse and psychiatric disorders are placed together in a residential facility where they are allowed to continue the way of life they had on the streets. Despite the availability of services, there is no incentive to use those services and no disincentive to the problematic behavior associated with street homelessness. Consequently, widespread addiction often becomes the norm within Housing First programs. Preferring Homelessness This chain of events is not just a thought experiment. In Birmingham, Ala., researchers inadvertently created this exact problem when they put participants of two different programs - one "recovery" program and one "harm reduction" program - in the same apartment complex. Immediately after beginning the experiment, the recovery group "began abandoning the provided housing, complaining that their proximity to persons not required to remain abstinent (Le., the other trial group) was detrimental to their recovery. They claimed that they preferred to return to homelessness rather than live near drug users." The researchers quickly stopped and reorganized the trial, writing that "this unexpected reaction shows one possible risk to housing persons with active addiction." Stilt, Housing First advocates insist that their policy is working. When reached for comment, Tsemberis insisted that the Washington Post headline declaring that he had "solved homelessness" is true. "The most effective way to end homelessness for people with mental health and addiction is to provide housing and wraparound support," Tsemberis said. He points towards rates of "housing stability" as the key metric, while conceding that Housing First does not provide "a cure for mental illness and addiction." This is a suggestion that policymakers have "solved 6 homelessness" simply by bringing people indoors, no matter their addictions, mental illnesses, and human torments. Advocates portray Housing First as a science that transcends politics. The policy was first adopted by the George W. Bush administration and has gained support from Republicans and Democrats alike. As the Washington Post observed, it is "a model so simple children could grasp it, so cost-effective fiscal hawks loved it, so socially progressive liberals praised it. However, the real -world evidence from cities such as Los Angeles challenges this narrative. If Housing First has demonstrated anything, it is this: It provides a stable residential environment for the homeless to live out their pathologies, subsidized by the public and administered by the social -scientific sector. It does, not however, address addiction, mental illness and other factors that limit human potential and lead to homelessness. In Los Angeles, despite the insistence that Housing First is the answer, some uncertainty is creeping in. Mayor Garcetti is now on the defensive, as homelessness in Los Angeles continues to increase despite billions in spending. After the federal government released a study questioning the premises of Housing First, Garcetti backed away from the unidimensional approach, telling reporters with irritation in his voice: "Sometimes people parody Housing First as 'only housing.' Nobody embraces only housing. It's got to be housing with services together." In more bad news for public officials and supporters of Housing First, there is an emerging body of evidence that calls into question the "cost savings" of the program. A recent study in Massachusetts shows that Housing First does not reduce rehospitalization and service utilization, while another study in Chicago suggests that Housing First might increase overall costs. Furthermore, researchers have concluded that the purported cost savings in earlier Housing First studies would not apply to the 82% of the homeless population that is not chronically homeless. 7 In Los Angeles, this could spell disaster. In the most optimistic scenario laid out by the controller's office, the city will build 5,873 supportive housing units at an initial cost of $1.2 billion, plus an estimated $88 million in annual service costs associated with the Housing First model. The recipients of this housing will not meaningfully improve their lives in terms of addiction, mental illness, and spiritual well-being — and there will still be 60,000 people on the streets across Los Angeles County. In other words, even under its own theoretical assumptions, Proposition HHH is doomed to fail. The City of Los Angeles did not return a request for comment. The potential silver living might be that a reconsideration of the Housing First approach could lead to a wider reckoning for policymakers and political leaders. At the end of the Housing First experiment in Los Angeles, the city will be responsible for thousands of wards of the state with little hope for recovery, as well as tens of thousands of campers in its public spaces. A few curious citizens will read through the academic literature and find a vast discrepancy between the ideological promises of Housing First and its real -world outcomes. They might then conclude that proponents should have known better. This article was adapted from research for the new book "No W. Home: The Cris's fHoroelessness and Hw n P.S.

It would be good for the report to more clearly detail the ownership of roles, lead agencies, partner agencies, and the anticipated application by the City of this document — especially for those strategies where the City is not the lead. It sounds like you are already planning changes to make this more clear — thank you! ^ It looks like Yakima County Care Campus was identified as a prospective partners for strategy 33 (collaborate with faith- basedorganizationsontenmporaryhousingondpermnanentaupportivehousing).YC[Zisnotafai1h'basedorganization, or intended to be a temporary/permanent supportive housing site, so I'm not sure that's an appropriate fit there. There isthe potential for recovery housing tobeconsidered ifitisidentified axasystem need, but that's avery specific form of time -limited service that I would consider more of a treatment program than a general housing resource. There aren't any good multigenerational housing options listed under exhibit 5 of strategy 1, despite multigenerational housing being identified as a potentially desirable option for community members. As I had said in the meetings, there is a lot of concern that there are multigenerational households in our community that are overcrowded —the issue for many of them is likely not that there are multiple generations in one house, it's that the house is not appropriate for multiple generations to live in. The housing strategies should include something that would make nmu|1igeneratinna| housing appropriate for those who want it — better access to three, four, and five bedroom houses, ADUswhere grandparents could live, etc. Concern that fee waivers for affordable housing could impact funds for affordable housing or the homeless response system (strategy 16) — as we discussed, there are no items in the plan under the strategy that raise any red flags for me on this issue, it's just a general flag for this item, if it were to be expanded in the future. Please let me know if there are any other questions about any of this. I'm glad I had the opportunity to participate in this process, and | appreciate you reaching out and listening to the concerns I have on issues that I don't think made it from the meetings tothe published draft.

Please feel free to make edits as you see fit. We want to make sure we are accurate inour assessment ofyou program. Example Programs - Yakima Neighborhood Health Services offers permanent, supportive housing though a program called Master Lease. The program is based on relationships local landlords who lease with the program to house those experiencing homelessness. Once housed, clients receive regular case management from trained staff who support the participants' decision - making in their path to self-sufficiency. Through the recently completed Rhonda D. Hauff Resource Center (the RDH), Yakima Neighborhood Health Services also offers temporary and permanent supportive housing for up to 37 people and provides case managers who connect residents to health care, mental health services, legal aide, employment, and other basic needs .

Introduction Organizes concerns around the Introduction Section of the HAP. Disconnect with County Plan - The Housing Plan has 6 Objectives — one of which is: Address the needs of those struggling with homelessness Why is there an objective relating to homelessness when there is a Countywide plan to address homelessness developed by the Yakima County Department of Human Services? The Countywide plan was developed with a representative from the City of Yakima who holds a seat on the Yakima County Homeless Coalition Executive Committee. Can the City please show the various plans related to housing (Comprehensive Plan, Consolidated Plans, County Homeless Plan, etc.) and how this document relates. Developing the HAP Organizes concerns around the Developing the HAP Section of the HAP. Community Input Missing partners - The Targeting Stakeholder engagement does not include the following: • Washington Low -Income Housing Alliance Yakima County Homeless Coalition Homeless Network of Yakima County Yakima County Public Services' • Local CAP Agencies which manage Community Services Block Grant — both of which have identified Affordable Housing a major priority o Northwest Community Action Center (outside the City Limits) o OIC of Washington Technical Analysis Vague Language — On pages 4-5, there is the following statement: • Compared to Washington State, the City of Yakima has a slightly larger population of younger residents. Younger is not defined. Does this refer to children, those under 25, under 50? Unreliable Data Source — Exhibit 2 demonstrated the percent change since 2012 in average home values, average rents, and HUD Median Family Income. The data source cited is Zillow. US Census, American Community Survey (ACS) is utilized as a main data source in most of the document — why is ACS data not used in this chart? Data from Zillow is sourced from MLS and is notoriously inaccurate. Old Data — Exhibit 3 and 4 utilize ACS Data from 2016. This data is 3 years old — 2019 Five Year Estimates are available. While there is CHAS and BERK data also included — Tenure and Cost -Burden can be calculated solely from the ACS and be more current. Objectives and Strategies Small editing error — The objectives are listed in a different order on this page that they are in the Introduction — recommend updating so they match. 1 Currently manages 2060 — local funds committed to Affordable Housing Priority Strategies 1—Update city Regulations tOremove barriers tOinnovative housing types Incongruency — The description statement in this section identifies that many Yakima residents seek ,nu|tigenerationa|housing opportunities. However, the innovations listed include: • Tiny House • Cottage housing • Micro -housing • Zero Lot Line housing Most ofthe examples listed are homes with small square footage.|tisunclear how smaller homes would address the needs ofmulti-generational families. These innovations would bemore appropriate for single person households orseniors. 3—Encourage rent-t/-oxvn opportunities and sweat equity programs Concerning — Here is a great article on the riskiness of rent -to -own programs: � ow-'�uv- oawhich can quickly become predatory. It is unclear in the description what safeguards would be in place to prevent exploitation of the renter. Ideally, partnering with an organization to assist in guiding the program in a manner to protect renters would be ideal. 4—Expand and update down payment assistance programs Contrary to data - Ownership of single-family housing within the county is relatively affordable - the county has a homeowner affordability index' of111.2 compared to the state at 189.31. Additionally, there are relatively few homes for sale in the County. In Q4 of 2020, there were only 242 homes for sale in the entire county; a -43% change from the previous year«. This begs the question of where first-time homebuyers will find the homes. 6 |nCeOtivize landlords tOimprove the quality and maintenance Ofhousing Omission — Would be great to mention another resource for landlords — the landlord mitigation fund and potentially replicate at the City level. Washington ntate's Landlord Mitigation Law /RCVV43.31.G06\ became effective on June 7th of 2018 to provide landlords with an incentive and added security to work with tenants receiving rental assistance. The program offers up to $1,000 to the landlord in reimbursement for some potentia||yrequirednmove'inupgrades,uptofourteendays'rent|osaandupto$S,8OOinqua|ifvinQdanoages caused by a tenant during tenancy. Priority 7Strategies 7—Create design standards for multifamily and mixed use development Definition — Current definition in the footnote reads Mixed -used building means a building in a commercial district or planned development used partly for residential use and partly for a community facility or commercial use. The definition I am most familiar with is: "An appropriate combination of multiple uses, inside a single 2 The Housing Affordability index (HAI) measures the ability of a middle -income family to carry the mortgage paymentson median price home. When the index is 100, there is a balance between the family's ability to pay and the cost. Higher indexes indicate housing is more affordable. structure or place within a neighborhood, where a variety of different living activities (live, work, shop and play) are in close proximity (walking distance) to most residents.'" Potential creation of barriers — doesn't creating new regulations for developers to adhere to (design standards) increase barriers to development? Addressing NIMBYism is the reason given — but both of our premier non- profit developers (Next Step Housing and Catholic Charities) have amazing design standards. Unsure how city - developed standards will increase affordable housing. 11— Coordinate seasonal farmworker housing as severe -weather shelters Outside City Limits — The description for this section identifies that most of the farmworker housing is outside the city -limits. So is the City of Yakima Plan to utilize housing outside the city -limits? Can you clarify the local H2HA Housing in the city and clarify the city's role? It appears you would support this effort — not coordinate it. This is a great model. 15 — Partner with local nonprofits and housing providers Clarity needed — It is unclear on why identification of new organizations is needed in response to HB 1377 - 2019-20 Concerning affordable housing development on religious organization property. Since this is already codified — what exactly would the city be doing above what they are already doing? Priority 3 Strategies 17- Give grants/loans to directly support small business Clarity needed — It is not clear how this will help affordable housing. It appears the logic is that by create more jobs, more people can afford housing — but the Out of Reach' report states that for Yakima County, renters need to make at least $13.05 an hour in order to afford rent at $678 a month. Unfortunately, that will only pay for a studio apartment — if one can be found. If this is to support mixed use housing, please add that to the description. 19 — Consider a levy or sales tax for affordable housing Clarity needed —The description references RCW 82.14.540 Affordable and supportive housing —Sales and use tax. HB 1406 creates a sales tax revenue sharing program that allows cities and counties to access a portion of state sales tax revenue to make local investments in affordable housing. It is my understanding the county already passed this'. Additionally, in the examples you list Ellensburg Resolution No 2017-238 which refers to the 0.1% sales tax relevant to RCW 82.14.530 Sales and use tax for housing and related services. Can you clarify which one you will be pursuing? 20 — Collaborate with nonprofits to build transitional housing Old model — Text has the statement that allowing transitional housing will increase the supply of transitional housing s that it meets the scale of need. Research suggests that rapid re -housing is more cost-effective than 5 httpsillggiiivas .or iview/4 11/wh tTMBs--mixed- use .

Instead, rapid re -housing solves the immediate crisis of homelessness, while connecting families or individuals with appropriate community resources to address other service needs. Also — it is not clear who the local lead agency is for homelessness services. 22 — Address mobile home parks that are dilapidated Query — Under considerations there is a statement the city should partner with non -profits experienced with mobile home rehabilitation. It is unclear who that would be. 23 — Encourage micro -retail and flexible cultural space design Clarity needed — It is unclear how this will impact affordable housing since retail space is generally a minimum wage provider. It is unclear how affordable commercial space reduces displacement. See issues listed under strategy 17. 24 — Support third -party purchase of existing affordable housing Query — Has the city considered the Yakima-Kittitas County Community Land Trust as an option? 33 — Collaborate with faith -based organizations on temporary housing and permanent supportive housing Query — There is a statement that several faith -based organizations operate affordable housing projects. Is there a particular reason this and strategy 15 restrict partnership with faith -based organizations? 34 — Provide tenant relocation assistance Counter -intuitive — the description states "rezoning in neighborhoods may cause an increase in demolition of existing housing units to build newer housing." It is unclear why the city would demolish existing affordable housing that would result in a need for relocation assistance — this appears to conflict with strategies 6 and 24. 36 — Adopt a notice of intent to sell/sale ordinance Counter -intuitive — Similar to the strategy above — this seems counter -intuitive and has the potential to cause more barriers for housing developers like strategy 7. Implementation General — Relating to the table showing potential partners: 22 of the 37 strategies have the city as the lead. The other 15 list partner as the lead. Shouldn't the partners be identified? Potential partners column is blank for 24 of the 37 strategies — 9 of which the partner is supposed to be the lead. Are there plans to complete this table before publication? Timeline Formatting — there is a broken reference link on page 70. Community Engagement Survey results — Over 60% of the survey responders live in a single-family home and 75% did not struggle with affordability. Recommend leveraging the large-scale survey conducted by local CAP agencies. Additionally — half of all respondents were homeowners. This influences the data in Exhibit 6 Current and Desired Housing Types as well as Exhibit 7 Community Housing Needs. These responses indicate that affordable home ownership is a priority. Would ideally like tosee more low-income orcost burdened respondents. Race and Ethnicity — Exhibit 8 shows a graph with two bars — one for those who identify as Hispanic and one for those who identify as White. Individuals can be both white and Hispanic. It would be more valuable to identify Persons of color (Hispanic regardless or race and Non -White races grouped together into Persons of Color).
