Meeting the needs identified through community engagement and the HAPT tool will require scaling both housing and service capacity. The HAPT tool, which projects housing needs through 2045, estimates that Kittitas County will require approximately 5,405 additional housing units across all income levels. For the purposes of this five-year plan, this translates to roughly 1,351 new units, with the greatest needs concentrated among extremely and very low-income households and individuals requiring supportive housing. The county would need 88 addifional emergency shelter beds available to meet the 2030 estimated need. ln addition to the 11 PSH units available, to meet the 2030 need, 133 additional units are needed. 473 units for Extremely Low-lncome households (0-30% AMls) 258 units for Very Low-lncome households (30-50% AMI) 94 units for Low-lncome households (50-80% AMI) Projected Hausing Needs for Kittitos County (2)-Year Proiection, S-Year Planning Focus) BniF'Ft ra't[0,llrdt fttrnqr) The largest share of projected housing need falls among extremely low- and very low-income households, those earning below 50% AMl, who face the greatest barriers to finding affordable housing in the private market. Given current service levels and development pipelines, Kittitas County will need to substantially increase the supply of affordable and supportive housing, including flexible housing options as described in Goal 5, and ensure that new housing options are paired with appropriate services and supports. Services ln addition to housing capacity, the county must also expand and strengthen supportive services to ensure that individuals can achieve and maintain housing stability. Community feedback, national best practices, and current capacity data all point to the need for scaling supportive services alongside housing. The key areas that this plan will focus on include: s nvl lnrea Median lncome): The midpoint income for households in a specific geographic area. Housing programs often use income thresholds based on AMI (such as 30% AMI)to determine eligibility for affordable and supportive housing. 11E lrnto a a a a a cao0/6 19t975 2s.3AO I 577 2,799 3,832 6.330 67O9 2,411 3,r06 2,519 2,AOO2734 4,671 Additiohdl Uni.
