For Meeting of: May 25, 2016 ITEM TITLE: Resolution approving development and execution of Lease for Temporary Homeless Encampment with Sunrise Outreach Center of Yakima SUBMITTED BY: Mark Kunkler, Acting City Attorney SUMMARY EXPLANATION: Discussions and negotiations have been occurring among the City of Yakima Community Development Department and community partners Yakima Valley Conference of Governments (YVCOG) and Sunrise Outreach Center of Yakima (SOC), a nonprofit corporation and religious organization, to designate a portion of available City -owned property as the site of a Temporary Homeless Encampment. The City of Yakima owns certain property, more than one-half acre in an area located adjacent to a designated street right-of-way along Cascade Mill Parkway (north of the new roundabout). City staff has identified this property as adequately suitable to locate a Temporary Homeless Encampment, conditioned upon erection of appropriate fencing and site - screening, appropriate administrative and security services, and provision of appropriate facilities for sanitation, water, waste collection and sewage disposal, and development of appropriate rules of conduct. In cooperation with the above-named partners, the City of Yakima is prepared to enter into a short-term lease (effective through November 15, 2016 — the date when Extreme Weather Shelters are scheduled to be available) with SOC, to allow SOC to develop and administer the Temporary Homeless Encampment. YVCOG is working with SOC to provide funding for necessary equipment and materials for the construction and operation of the encampment, and YVCOG and SOC will enter into a separate contract for the acquisition and payment of such property and equipment. The City's role is to enter into the proposed short-term lease, and to work with SOC to provide access to available City utility services, including garbage collection, provision of water service and to facilitate SOC's provision of appropriate sewage collection and disposal. City staff is recommending waiver of water and garbage service fees in conjunction with provision of these utility services to the project. Attached is a proposed Resolution and Lease Agreement, together with a memorandum discussing the legal issues involved, maps of the area, a proposed preliminary site plan and preliminary list of equipment provided by SOC. Approval of the Resolution would allow the City Manager to finalize the Lease, which is subject to a condition that necessary funding must be in place and approved before the Lease is executed. The matter has been previously presented to the Council's Neighborhood Community Building Committee on May 19, 2016, which has recommended presentation to the full Council.

Background At a previous regularly -scheduled Council meeting on May 3, 2016, comments were made by residents near 6th Street and East Chestnut Avenue regarding the impromptu homeless encampment that recently appeared on the planting strip (in between the street and sidewalk) on East Chestnut Avenue between 6th and 7th Streets. There also have been numerous police -related calls to the location in the past weeks, and on Friday, Comprehensive Mental Health was called out to the location to evaluate a homeless woman who was jumping into the street in front of busses and vehicles. During one recent police -related call a large machete was recovered. There have been reports from neighboring properties of nuisance activity, noise, drug use, urinating and defecating in public and in neighboring yards and alleyways. There are no sanitation facilities or garbage facilities at the location. Homelessness is an issue that needs to be addressed through coalitions and collaboration. People experiencing homelessness may also be experiencing mental health or physical health traumas, loss, or addiction. They may be homeless because of the loss of a job, health problems, a family break up, or a myriad of other issues that affect people in the City. There are many difference causes, providing an opportunity for many different solutions and providing the opportunity to form partnerships with organizations throughout the community to work together towards ending homelessness in Yakima. The City itself is unable to forcefully remove individuals experiencing homelessness from public property, or remove their personal belongings in many cases. In Jones v. City of Los Angeles, the Court found that an ordinance criminalizing sitting, lying or Homelessness Issues and Possible Temporary Encampment May 20, 2016 Page 2 sleeping on public property at all times violated the Eighth Amendment (cruel and unusual punishment) because it criminalized the status of being homeless. However, the Court provided that if there were other available accommodations, then the ordinance could be lawful: "All we hold is that, so long as there is a greater number of homeless individuals in Los Angeles than the number of available beds" the City may not enforce the ordinance at all times of the day. The case indicates that if there are other accommodations available to homeless individuals, then a City can lawfully restrict the locations of activities, such as camping, within the City. Roulette v. City of Seattle upheld an ordinance that prohibited sitting and lying on public sidewalks between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. The ordinance left open the ability to use the sidewalks as sleeping areas overnight. The City believes that many of these homeless individuals are chronic homeless individuals who use the temporary winter shelters. Since those temporary winter shelters have closed, these individuals have no place to go at night. There currently are no low -barrier options available for homeless individuals in Yakima that have available beds. There is not an authorized encampment in the City. There also are no ordinances that prohibit camping on public rights-of-way such as the planting strip (there are ordinances prohibiting overnight use of the parks—YMC 13.20 outlines the park curfew). 2. Collaborative Work City staff has been meeting with a group of representatives from various non-profit organizations who are interested in creating a permanent encampment and tiny home project somewhere in Yakima. Some of these non-profit organizations are religious organizations. They have not purchased any property for their project and are in the beginning stages of organizing their project. The group has also discussed the immediate need for services for homeless individuals in Yakima. The issues have been progressing quickly due to the escalating amount of visible homeless in Yakima and the impromptu encampment on East Chestnut Avenue. The City has been working with this group to come up with a solution that will work for neighboring property owners and the homeless. At a recent meeting, the City explained that it has some property that might be a good fit for a temporary encampment to immediately address the issues that are occurring at the East Chestnut Avenue area and which could provide sanitation facilities, a sense of community, and a more safe and secure environment for the homeless. There was interest from the group to work together on this possible project. Some organizations immediately volunteered to help organize and support such a location with volunteers and/or staffing. Other organizations indicated that they could contribute funding for Homelessness Issues and Possible Temporary Encampment May 20, 2016 Page 3 temporary sanitation facilities and other items that would be necessary to support a temporary encampment. The overall concept would be to provide the homeless, mostly the chronically homeless who are currently sleeping on the streets or in the impromptu encampment on Chestnut, a place to move to that would have toilet and water facilities, garbage facilities, and a more secure environment with minimal barriers. The encampment would address the health and safety issues that arise when encampments pop up in neighborhoods that do not have any services by providing an alternate, safe, and sanitary environment for homeless individuals. The hope is that once the homeless see that there is a safe, secure area for them to set up their tents and store their possessions, and a place where there are sanitary facilities, they will voluntarily move to those areas and out of areas where no overnight services are available. The law allows religious organizations to host temporary encampments for the homeless with minimal oversight or requirements. RCW 35.21.915. That statute provides that religious organizations may use land that they own or control (such as through a lease agreement) for a temporary encampment (not a permanent encampment). The City cannot pass ordinances or regulations that would substantially burden their activities. This statue also provides that appointed and elected officials of the City are immune from liability for any damages arising from permitting the encampment or conduct or unlawful activity at the encampment. A copy of the statute is attached hereto as Exhibit "A". With this law in mind, the idea of leasing City property to a religious organization for a temporary encampment arose. City staff evaluated and identified city -owned properties that could be leased to a religious organization (as defined in the statute) for a temporary encampment. Properties evaluated did not include public parks, playgrounds, streets, alleys, planting strips or parkways. Properties evaluated also did not include rights-of-way in high traffic areas. Staff evaluated the locations of properties, surrounding land uses, and zoning provisions to determine which property, or properties, were best suited for a temporary encampment. There is no plan to lease City property for a permanent encampment, only to provide for a temporary encampment until the winter warming shelters again open in the fall. Further, in conjunction with working on a lease of City property, City staff is evaluating possible ordinance changes that would protect neighborhoods and ensure safety for both residents of neighborhoods and homeless individuals, including, but not limited to, prohibiting any camping on public rights-of-way, planting strips or alleys. Homelessness Issues and Possible Temporary Encampment May 20, 2016 Page 4 3. The Outcome: A Proposal to Lease City Property to SOC for a Temporary Encampment The City expressed the need for immediate action at a Justice Housing Project (JHP) meeting. JHP is a group of faith -based organizations and collaborators who are working towards a permanent housing solution for the chronic homeless. Some members of JHP immediately rose to the challenge. Sunrise Outreach Center (SOC), YVCOG and the Homeless Action Network immediately expressed support for a temporary encampment project. The ball quickly started rolling from there. The City met with these organizations and discussed the possible locations previously identified. All parties agreed that the property located on Bravo Company Road, the northernmost roadway at the roundabout at Lincoln and Fair Avenue, was the most suitable property for the proposed encampment. A map of the proposed property, with the property proposed highlighted, and an aerial view of the property, are attached hereto for your reference as Exhibits "B" and "C". This property provides an area with privacy, security, and buffering, but remains close to services homeless individuals use. The other two locations (Tiger Mart on 1St Street and a piece of land next to the onramp to 1-82 off of Fair Avenue) were determined to be too far from services and unsafe due to the heavy traffic flow, respectively. Once the best location was determined, the City provided a list of requirements for the encampment to ensure the safety and security of the residents of the encampment, and the neighboring property owners and residents. The list included: A. Proper site screening for both security for the residents of the encampment, and to buffer the use from neighboring residential and commercial areas. Site screening will include temporary chain linked fencing with slats. B. A site plan outlining where community areas will be located and ensuring that emergency vehicles will have proper access to the area in case of an emergency. The proposed site plan from SOC is attached as Exhibit "D" hereto. C. The requirement that the City of Yakima agree to the maximum occupancy of the encampment. D. That there be no fires or individual camp stoves used. As can be seen in the site plan, there will be a community cooking area provided for the residents, which will consist of a propane gas cooking surface. E. The requirement that a Code of Conduct be created, with input from the residents of the encampment and neighboring property owners and residents, so that the concerns of all groups can be addressed. F. There is an agreement that no children will be allowed at the encampment. Homelessness Issues and Possible Temporary Encampment May 20, 2016 Page 5 G. Sanitary facilities (toilets, hand washing areas, and water) will be provided by SOC. SOC has also discussed the possibility of bringing in shower facilities. H. Garbage service will be provided by SOC. 1. To get the property ready for the encampment, the City will mow and grade the lot so that it is more level and better suited for setting up tents and community facilities. The proposed lease, in its entirety, is attached hereto as Exhibit "E" for your reference. As it reads, the City will collect no rent, due to the public health and safety issues that have arisen due to unauthorized camping on other public property where no facilities are available. Further, the Lease is clear that this encampment is temporary. The encampment lease will end on November 15, 2016, and upon termination, SOC is to ensure all residents are off of the property, and, hopefully, in the winter warming shelters. SOC intends to staff the encampment 24 hours a day, possibly provide food and services, and also provide outreach services in conjunction with their mission. It is the hope that some of these homeless individuals can transition into a more permanent housing situation prior to the end of the lease. Other non-profit organizations may also contribute, but that will all be coordinated through SOC, who will be the Lessee of the property and the overall organization running the facility. Further, it is contemplated that no City funds will be necessary for the encampment, other than those funds necessary to set up the property through mowing and grading, and installing a water meter to the property. The encampment should be funded through other sources and cooperation with YVCOG and the Homeless Action Network. These organizations are working through their processes to approve the necessary funding for SOC to organize, facilitate and run this temporary encampment.

The Mission of the Homeless Network of Yakima County is to advocate for the homeless people of Yakima County in order to improve the quality of life, increase public awareness of issues of homelessness, impact public policy and to prevent and end homelessness. Raising voices for Positive Change What is an advocate? An advocate is a person who speaks in support of a person or an issue. They are also known as champions, spokespersons, crusaders and more. We are very lucky to have a large group of advocates in Yakima County from a wide range of experience. We have service providers, homeless people, board members and community members who are willing to spread awareness and gather support for addressing issues of homelessness. Our advocates can be found in City Hall, Olympia, or at local churches and organizations. This year, Washington Low Income Housing Alliance brought a three day training to Yakima to help our advocates improve their skills. "It's powerful to speak for those who can't." says Virginia, an ALPHA Team member and local Advocate. "People need to know the stories of homeless people and start to get involved." If you are interested in becoming an advocate, there are trainings and groups that can get you started. Please visit www.yakimahomeless org for more infor- mation. The Health of a community can be measured simply by the well-being of the least able. Long-term homelessness cuts an average of 20 years off the lifespan of a person. It also reduces their productivity and increases the burden their presence places on the community. In short, Homeless exacts a cost on everyone—Those with shelter and those without, -National Coalition for the Homeless "There are people that actually need support 'cause it's not always there!' Dale Querr;trille Making Meaningful Connections Outreach is important when it comes to connecting with people who need services and there are many twists and turns along the way that make the goal of ending a person's homelessness a little harder and much more appreciated. It's hard to gain the trust of youth who have been effected by homelessness. Fortunately, many have come to realize that Rod's House is a safe place with safe people. Youth like Andy often come with a friend who utilizes Rod's House for warm meals, showers, laundry, clothing, food and services such as case management, job skills and placement and education- al support. His first visits were uneventful but he returned because he was facing homelessness. Andy turned to the case manager to talk about available resources and what steps he could take to make sure he could stay in school. They worked together to get him food and medical assistance. Andy is gay and needed support and safety that he didn't receive at home. He has found support within the house that allows him to be himself and express himself freely without harsh judgment or fear of bullying or worse. Andy recently turned 18 and left home. He is currently "couch surfing" with friends while he continues to go to school. He is also trying to find a job. He visits Rod's House regularly to utilize their services and to talk amongst friends. The staff and volunteers will continue their outreach to help Andy continue his steps towards ending his homelessness, but they have had so much success in keeping Andy engaged and supported. It is only a matter of time until Andy will get past all the twists and turns and will be housed and safe on his own. 455ki 4,.av5? 5.? 615,A5 •Itei q,"5",,,„:"4, -,;•••4"-v• ”.54,53: 14710' V*50V4•14, ,444.41044; 'A'",141154L 174 tal4ritku.',i,:11 Vtlis 1490{0 ttc 54 55 tWs 5 5.... 5,5 The reason the Homeless Network of Yakima County has been so successful is the support of our community. There are too many people, organizations and businesses to mention who have contributed to the success of the Homeless Network, which is also an accomplishmentl Reducing, preventing, and eventually, ending homelessness takes everyone in our community. If you have not gotten involved, please consider this your formal invitation. Currently, the Network is aiming to increase awareness about homeless issues and help everyone understand the facts about homelessness and the realities of those who face homelessness. Getting involved isn't expensive or time consuming. You get to meet interesting people and do the work that interests you. You can work directly with the public, or you can offer your skills behind the scenes. Please consider joining the work of the Homeless Network of Yakima County. You can find out more about volunteer oppor- tunities, advocacy and outreach work and funding opportunities on our website www.vakimahomeless.org to see what is happening in the homeless community and how this effects our community as a whole. The future success of the Network relies on our community. We look forward to another 10 years of success and support! YAKIMA CONVENTiON -CENTER- Project r -t rrs: Homeless Connect provides people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless access to services at a location near them for an en- tire day. Participants can make crucial steps towards ending their homeless- ness with the help of the many service providers at each site. This year, there was a new event site at the Yakama Nation Cultural Center that offered services specific to tribal members and the Yakima Convention Center site offered, for the first time, veterinarian services for homeless pets. Having services available is im- portant, not just for the day of the event. This is an opportunity for people to get introduced service providers with the hope they will continue to connect with them through- out the year to find options for food, housing and health care. 829 PEOPLE SERVED 899 MEALS SERVED TOl 186 HAIRCUTS 16 HEALTH SCREENINGS 53 VOLUNTEERS 37 VENDORS Direction and Support David, a homeless and single parent, is grateful for the chance he has today to reunite with his 2 year old daughter thanks to services and support from Triumph Treatment Services. David drank and used drugs at an early age which led to dropping out of school. David tried to live a normal life, but he struggled with alcohol use. When David had a relapse he told a counselor "1 got to look at the past and thought, "it's time to cleanup my act, I don't want to live in prison and not enjoy and raise my kids"- I knew this was my chance". David is now a proud graduate of Triumph's inpatient treatment program. He is currently the onsite manager at the clean and sober housing for men. He plans to have his daughter placed under his care. David's main goal in life is to stay clean and sober, get into permanent housing, enjoy and raise his children in an appropriate environment and give back to the community as much as he has received. The services at Triumph had made it possible for David to take charge of his life and become a present parent in his children's' lives, too. 150 PEOPLE CURRENTLY IN PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING WERE ONCE CHRONICALLY HOMELESS. Lives Improved with 1 The Navigator program at People for People is part of a research effort that utilizes intensive case management of homeless people who need to overcome barriers, such as lack of education or skills, while allowing participants to choose their path to creating a self sufficient life. Lori entered the program November of 2013 after being clean and sober for well over a year. She needed a plan to meet her career goal; become financially secure and allow for her to spend quality time with her children. Lori gained new skills and refreshed old ones by taking several classes and workshops offered through People for People. Larry Nelson, the Lead Housing and Employment Navigator, made sure that Lori had resources for housing, child care and other basic needs she needed in order to finish the program. Lori received a job placement at Yakima Housing Authority and was hired full time in a case management position for their Section 8 program in February 2014. Lori continues to work on life skills such as budgeting to ensure she maintains a financial path for success. The Navigator program proves that people can achieve the goals they create for themselves with support and a little help along the way, Nalgifikt 01(4, 1111014.11! mmv.'''*•'‘Atttvi,•%•(;4010-401-mrc.;,, The Point in Time count, also referred to as 'PIT' or simply 'the count', is conducted annually throughout Yakima County to estimate the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night in our communities. The local PIT count is part of a nationwide data collection effort required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The data collected during PIT provides insight on the current situation of sheltered and unsheltered homeless in Yakima County. The information also provides clues on how to address the issues of homeless in our valley.

" Kelly Families Find Housing TI Latasia, her husband and their four children had no place to stay and weren't sure where they would sleep that night when they arrived at Northwest Community Action Center. They faced a lack of income and lack of transportation. Latasia's husband used Worksource to find a job and he was able to find a co-worker willing to share a ride with him. NCAC was able to provide the family with temporary shelter with a hotel voucher during the housing search. After three weeks, the family finally had a home to call their own! Latasia and her husband were very ex- cited to have a place and be able to enroll their child in school. Latasia's husband is working full time and hopes to save enough to purchase an inexpensive vehicle. Latasia hopes to find a job to help become more financially stable while enrolling at YVCC in the winter quarter. iN *4:g Atl,4114, A*44,,,; ,,,Aliatig-OrtWtit,raet 44144114,%14,0 .04.40tiggleinlq4s ,444,411VOMPOMIlian ONE MONTH OR LESS ONE TO SIX MONTHS 49 ONTHS TO A ONE TO TWO YEARS MORE THAN TWO YEAR YEARS WHAT HOMELESS PEOPLE WANT YOU TO HEAR... According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, being homeless requires conducting innocent behavior of involuntary, life sustaining acts such as sleeping, eating and sitting in public.
