The Task Force was mandated to recommend a new county wide funding source for affordable housing. The report was endorsed by the Planning Committee and the City Council also had a workshop on this report. Furthermore, in August the Council passed a -N� resolution endorsing the Task Force's recommendation. Marvin Eckfeldt is on the Task Force from South King County. Marvin stated that there was a good cross section of members on the Housing Finance Task Force. Marvin reported that our senior housing project(Harrison House)was lifted up as a model. Seattle is voting on a new housing levy because`their levy ran out last year. It is not the time to recommend raising taxes,however funding is needed. The main recommendation that came out of the;task force Sias a strong f rm commitment for minimum fundin%g fi.or affordable housing The principles for the funding is to develop multiple funding sources,establish reasonable 1. fiiridin levels to aii;iiisk all>'urisdicdQns to; art ci` ate and t.

The Commission was provided a copy of this endorsement with its last agenda packet. At its September meeting the Commission decided it wanted to study the report more before deciding whether to endorse it. To help the Commission in its decision,this memo summarizes the information presented at the last meeting, addresses some of the concerns voiced at that meeting, and attaches a short paper called "Affordable Housing in Kent" The reason that the Task Force made its recommendation is that all the cities in King County required it to do so. Each city adopted the Countywide Planning Policies which in part mandated the creation of the Housing Finance Task Force to recommend a new countywide funding source or :. sources for affordable housing production and services The Task Force consists of diverse interests: : -: -: : : � , . ; ;, : merit . ..... . .......: o vials nan: refits:churches develo ers:and bankers: This ou came:to;an agree elected, ff P . .. ........ ............. :; 1e. on a;three art recommendation to;achieve a com rehensve a roac to nancing of a p p pp. housing.

Housing is not differentiated from human services; it is a fundamental human service. 220 4th AVE SO. /KENT WASHINGTON 98032-5895/TELEPHONE (206)859-3300/FAX#859-3334 % One of the concerns raised at the September Commission meeting was that locating low income housing in Kent would cause an increase demand in human services. However, having housing . does not cause more human services to be demanded, but rather eliminates the need for his basic human service. Gaining stable shelter has a positive ripple effect on'an individual's need for other"...... human services.

What is meant by the term "affordable housing" Typically "affordable housing" is defined as housing that costs no more than 30 percent of a household's gross income. This is the definition that is used in Kent's Draft Housing Element. This definition does not discriminate based on whether a person is low-income or high-income. However, the literature And government action regarding affordable housing usually focuses on low- and moderate- income households and at times`middle-income households. This is because the lower a household's income the more likely that it is paying more than 30 or even 50 percent of its income:for housing. Paying more than 30 percent of household Income for ousing is widely accepted as : .. . . .:.; .. .. e t;fi e.was selected.. . that: after>a;household a s;for housin : ; . .. . ..unaffordable:, The<3Q:: erc n p . � p care `other:basic necessities of>Iife and enough income remains for food, clothing, health x . :: emergencies Paying more han 30_percent of household income;for housing puts people with middle .r lower incomes at risk of homelessness, of'not meeting their health care needs, or of o e ::bas c:.needs o. ..:unmet. .I..is.the love- and moderate:-income households..that are most r g likely to be impacted`'in these ways by proportionally high housing costs For these income groups the main reason for paying 30 percent or more of their incom 11 e for housing is a lack of options, not a choice. If a high-income'household earning $100000 a year pays more than30 percent of its income for housing, it is `normally a choice not a necessity. This is why the term "affordable housing" is sometimes used interchangeably with low-income :_ housing (i.e., housing that is affordable to low-income households, which is not necessarily the same as subsidized housing). How affordable is Kent's housing? There is a perception that South King County,including Kent, has enough of affordable housing, however research show that the affordability problem here is similar to other parts of the . :; : ,. :: ; .; .. . .. . .: .. :. . . 9 .

The affordability of homeownership I: even worse In 1994, to purchase 1'111arf average paced house in South King CouI.nty, including Kent, a household had to earn at Ieast $50,400 (According to`the King County l�om or.mg Bulletin in the 1st quarter of 1994 the mean price for a house in the Kent are:61a was $164,065; a 1`2% increase from the 1st quarter m 1993). The high cost of purchasing a home results in limited homeownership'opportunities for middle- and moderate-income households and virtually non-existent opportunities for low-income households. 1 . . 1` m; i n The increasing inability to afford housing s a national problem... Since the early 980s, ed an household'income has not kept up with either rental increases.or more dramatically with housing values. Housing costs are consurrming a larger and larger chunk'of household incoirie . The housing cost burden, or what percentage of a household11 11 's income goes to housing,is a good indicator of affordability.

In addition, the Growth Management Act creates a strong new local government requirement for the "provision of affordable housing for all economic segments of the community." Under GMA, affordable housing is a community need that must be provided . k'.. .. .. .. .: ... ..... ,II that mandate by requiring that 17 percent of Kent's housing be affordable to moderate-income households and 20 percent of its housing be affordable to low-income households. . Local government cannot control housing costs. Supply and demand, financing costs,household incomes,' and other market factors will have the ;greatest effect on housing affordability. However, local government has a key role to play in making affordable housing a reality. Governmental action does not necessarily mean financial 'assistance. Other possible actions zoning, development regulations, and permit procedures can facilitate the private and non-profit developer in building housing that is more affordable. �-, �� ,� �� �� . . .��:.::� = I I ,", �.. .. .. .. . .
