body

DEPARTMENT:  Human Services

 

ORIGINATOR:  Debra May

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved by Lacey Harper 10/8/24

 

PURPOSE: Approval for Funding Awards and to Issue Contracts for Affordable Housing and Behavioral Health (AHBH) - Capital 

 

BACKGROUND: In 2021, the Washington State Legislature amended RCW 82.14.530 which authorizes counties to impose a sales tax for acquisition and construction of affordable housing, which may include emergency, transitional and supportive housing, and new units of affordable housing within an existing structure, or acquiring and constructing behavioral health-related facilities or land acquisition for these purpose or funding operations and maintenance cost of new units of affordable housing and facilities where housing related programs are provided, or newly constructed evaluation and treatment centers. 

The Snohomish County Affordable Housing and Behavioral Health (AHBH) Capital Projects has two revenue sources, a sales tax credit back to the County authorized by chapter 388, Laws of 2019 and codified at RCW 82.14.540, and a .01 sales tax authorized by chapter 222 Laws of 2020 and codified at RCW 82.14.530.  

Snohomish County Council passed Ordinance 21-098, imposing a one-tenth of one percent sales tax for affordable housing and behavioral health and adding a new chapter 4.126 to Snohomish County Code.       

On December 13, 2023, by Amended Motion No. 23-0492, the Snohomish County Council approved the 2023 Housing and Behavioral Health Capital Fund Investment Plan (Investment Plan) and requiring Council approval to issue capital contracts. 

On May 16, 2024, a Notice of Funding Opportunity for Affordable Housing Behavioral Health - Capital projects was published with an application deadline of June 17, 2024. Seven (7) applications were received. 

July 25, 2024, the TAC met to review and evaluate applications based on the established criteria, and to make funding recommendations to the Policy Advisory Board (PAB) for 2024 AHBH Capital projects.  

On September 12, 2024, PAB approved the TAC recommendations and is recommending County Council award $13,000,000 in available AHBH-Capital funds to four agencies for acquisition, rehabilitation and/or development of four affordable housing projects:  
A.
                     Integra Property Group - Stillaguamish II,
B.
                     Housing Authority of Snohomish County - 200th Street Redevelopment,
C.
                     Catholic Housing Services of Western Washington - Monte Cristo Apartments, and
D.
                     Housing Hope Properties - Everett United Church of Christ.
