Meeting the needs identified through community <br />engagement and the HAPT tool will require scaling both housing and service capacity. The HAPT tool, which projects <br />housing needs through 2045, estimates that Kittitas County will require approximately 5,405 additional housing units <br />across all income levels. For the purposes of this five-year plan, this translates to roughly 1,351 new units, with the <br />greatest needs concentrated among extremely and very low-income households and individuals requiring supportive <br />housing. <br />o The county would need 88 additional emergency shelter beds available to meet the 2030 estimated <br />need. <br />r ln addition to the 11 PSH units available, to meetthe 2030 need, 133 additional units are needed. <br />. 473 units for Extremely Low-lncome households (0-30% AMls) <br />r 258 units for Very Low-lncome households (30-50% AMI) <br />t 94 units for Low-lncome households (50-80% AMI) <br />16.$rEt <br />,l!6tit,!{lldr <br />6tilt9i.tri'l <br />The largest share of projected housing need falls among extremely low- and very low-income households, those <br />earning below 50% AMl, who face the greatest barriers to finding affordable housing in the private market. <br />Given current service levels and development pipelines, l(itfitas County will need to substantially increase the supply <br />of affordable and supportive housing, including flexible housing options as described in Goal 5, and ensure that new <br />housing options are paired with appropriate services and supports. <br />Services <br />ln addition to housing capacity, the county must also expand and strengthen supportive services to ensure that <br />individuals can achieve and maintain housing stability. Community feedback, national best practices, and current <br />capacity data all point to the need for scaling supportive services alongside housing' <br />The key areas that this plan will focus on include: <br />s AMI lArea Median lncome):The midpoint income for households in a specific geographic area. Housing programs often use income thresholds <br />based on AMI (such as 30% AMI) to determine eligibility for affordable and supportive housing. <br />cao% <br />Edimdcd Hou.ing Supply (2O2Ol <br />Totol Houring Ned!
