PROPOSAL DETAILS
1. Applicant Profile and Qualifications: Tell us about your organization including the
purpose of your work, your goals, any history, and experience working in homeless
and/or affordable housing services, experience managing public funds, and anything
else that describes the organization's qualifications. (250 words max.)
In 1993, group of individuals from Ellensburg, Washington recognized a need for decent, affordable
housing within Kittitas County. Kittitas County Habitat for Humanity (KCHFH) was then established as an
official affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI). Since 1993, Habitat has built 17 new homes
and repaired 9 homes as it seeks to provide affordable, energy-efficient, safe houses in decent
communities for people whose income falls between 30 and 60% of the area median income. Our
current programs include: new construction and home repair for low-income homeowners. We are
currently building 1 new house and completing 1-2 repair projects for low income homeowners per year.
KCHFH has effectively utilized volunteer labor to meet our housing and community engagement goals.
In assessing community needs, it is evident that critical home repair is desperately needed for
low-income households and is not currently being provided for homeowners in Kittitas County (KC) by a
community based organization. KCHFH has successfully completed 9 repair projects since 2011.
KCHFH has been a past recipient of:
o Federal funding via HUD and Habitat for Humanity International
o Washington State funding via DSHS; SNAP and CHIPRA
o Kittitas County funding via 2060 and 2163 funds
o City of Ellensburg funding through a City Council grant process
o CDBG funding through City of Ellensburg.
KCHFH also operates a second-hand store to provide a sustainable income stream for the mission of
providing decent, affordable shelter.

2. Project Description Summary: Provide a brief summary the project being proposed and
a general description of how it will address homelessness or affordable housing in
Kittitas County. Be sure and indicate whether the proposal is intended to provide direct
client services or construction, maintenance, or improvement of housing facilities. (250
words max.)
KCHFH's repair program serves low-income homeowners affected by age, disability or family
circumstances and who struggle to maintain the integrity of their homes . Habitat's repair
program addresses the health and safety of the individual residences in neighborhoods,
strengthens connections within the community and helps preserve affordable housing
stock. Issues such as no water, holes in the roof or floor, mold growing inside, and no heat
are not uncommon. KC does not presently have a community based organization which
addresses critical home repair issues for low-income homeowners. This population, whose
homes are in dire need of repair, are sometimes forced to choose between making a house
payment or using their limited income to repair their home. Not making mortgage payment
puts them in jeopardy of losing their home, but to continue to live in an unhealthy and/or
unsafe environment puts their families at a physical risk. KCHFH provides a no-interest loan
for qualified homeowners who are selected as "partner families". The loan payment the
homeowner makes is no greater than 30% of their total housing costs per month and is
based on their income and their current mortgage. All loan payments made by the
homeowner are used to fund future Habitat repair projects. KCHFH is requesting an
average of $4,285 .71 per house for 14 houses over a 6-year period (2018-2023). Repair
costs, including materials and subcontractors fees average $10,OOO/project. If projects cost
less than $10,000, KCHFH will cover 57% of the project costs with the 2060 funds covering
43% of the cost.

3. County Priorities: Indicate which of the following priorities are being addressed by the
proposed project. (Select all that apply and give a brief 100 word description for each
selected.)
D Increase capacity and sustainability for homeless sheltering.
D Connect shelter clients to services to reduce homelessness .
D Increase site-based rental vouchers for people who are homeless with wrap-
around case management through current partnerships .
6
D New affordable housing development.
D Increased access to rental vouchers.
D Promotion of private landlord usage of Section 8 rental vouchers.
7
[l] Programs which increase access to affordable home ownership.
KCHFH is the only affordable homeownership non-profit housing organization providing repair
services in Kittitas County. We are able to provide affordable home repairs for qualified
homeowners using zero-interest loans, the assistance of volunteers, our Habitat Store and the
financial support of grants and donations. Without the repairs, these homeowners will be living in
unsafe, unhealthy environments which could jeopardize their health by putting their families at
physical risk. For those families who own their homes, repair costs are often
cost-prohibitive. For some homeowners living on fixed incomes, there is no hope of repair
without this program.
8
4. Partnerships: List your key community partnerships for the proposed project and what
their role will be. (250 words max.)
• Housing and Homeless Network of Kittitas County -During the family selection process,
agencies working with HHNKC make referrals for homeowners in need of repairs.
• City of Ellensburg -use of Hal Holmes Community Center to hold family selection
orientations
• HopeSource -resources for homeowner education and volunteer labor
• NeighborWorks -homeowner education courses
• Habitat Store -provides a revenue stream to sustain Habitat's mission
• Central Washington University -volunteer labor and fundraising
• Local Businesses -Donations and volunteer labor (examples: Suncadia, Calaway Trading,
Puget Sound Energy)
• Local Organizations -Donations and volunteer labor (Examples: Lion's Club, Rotary Clubs,
Washington State Association for Justice, HopeSource)
• local Foundations -Grant income (examples: US Bank, Umpqua Bank, Wells Fargo, Thrivent
Financial)
• Habitat for Humanity Washington State -access to construction loan funding as needed
• Local Churches -Donations and volunteer labor (Examples: Mercer Creek Church, Grace
Episcopal Church)
• Community At-Large -Support Habitat builds through donations and volunteer labor
9
5. Gaps and Duplication in Services: Describe how your proposed project fills a gap in
homeless and/or affordable housing services in Kittitas County. Include a description of
how the project is or isn't a duplication of current services. (250 words max.)
Presently, Kittitas County Habitat for Humanity is the only affordable homeownership non-profit housing
provider (new builds and repairs) in Kittitas County. There is no duplication of services with Habitat for
Humanity's housing programs. People have the option of having repairs made themselves through local
contractors, however, this solution of cost-prohibitive to the people we serve. With the use of
zero-interest loans, the assistance of volunteers and ensuring that our homeowners are able to repay
the loan, we are able to make repairs a reality for qualified individuals/families.
10
6. Sustainability: Describe your ability, experience, and resources to implement and
sustain the project during the term of the project. (250 words max.)
KCHFH has been building homes in our community for 24 years and repairing homes for 6 years. We are
currently working on House 18 and have also completed nine critical home repair projects to date.
There are several things that contribute to Habitat for Humanity's sustainability:
• We utilize volunteer labor by annually engaging 300 -600 community volunteers in service to
build and repair houses and work in our Store.
• Homeowners are provided with homeowner education courses.
• Habitat for Humanity's brand has integrity which helps with fundraising and volunteer
turn-out.
• Our homeowner mortgages and/or loan proceeds and repair loan payments go into the
"Revolving Fund for Humanity." Each Habitat house build or repair provides resources to build
or repair future homes.
• Habitat runs the Habitat Store to support the mission of Habitat. The Habitat Store provides
sustainable revenue for creating homeownership opportunities and making home repairs for
low-income individuals and families. The Habitat Store benefits the community by:
o Providing a place for the public to donate used and new items for which they can
receive a tax receipt.
o Helping to protect the environment by keeping tons of refuse out of the landfills
(147 tons of refuse was diverted from the landfill in 2016.)
o Recycling and selling donated items to the public at thrift store prices which
provides an affordable place for the public to shop.
o Providing needed merchandise to individuals and families who are referred by other
service agencies in Kittitas County.
• KCHFH is constantly fundraising.

BUDGET NARRATIVE
1. Funding Utilization: Describe how the funds will be used to support the proposed
project. For example, will the funds be used for staff time, supplies, consultants,
contractors, construction costs, direct customer services, etc.? (250 words max.)
KCHFH is requesting $60,000 over a 6 -year period to be used to provide home repair services for 14
repair projects for qualified low-income homeowners.
Estimated Total Repair Costs:
$10,000 project -14 projects
Grant Funding Requested from County
Amount to be raised by KCHFH
$140,000
$ 60,000
$ 80,000
The request breaks down to KC providing approximately $4,285.71 in repair costs per home for the next
14 Home Repair projects. The Repair Program includes work that extends the life of the house and
increases safety, accessibility or qualify of life for the homeowner. The requested funding will
supplement Habitat's fundraising efforts. To qualify for repairs, a family must be a low-income
homeowner, demonstrate need, be willing to volunteer hours to the project and be able to make a small
monthly payment for the repair loan, which is financed by Habitat for Humanity at zero percent interest.
The homeowner's loan payment plus current mortgage payment will not exceed 30% of their gross
monthly income.
Habitat for Humanity will provide 57% of the funding for each repair project with the KC affordable
housing grant funds providing 43% of the funding for each project (materials, subcontractor's fees,
waste disposal, permits, etc.) If some repairs require less than $10,000 per repair, we will use the County
funding to repair additional homes using the same breakdown in funding -KCHFH -57% of the costs of
the repair and the KC 2060 grant -43%.
14
Z. Other Support: Describe any monetary, In-kind, donations, ,rants, or other types of
support that will be used for the project. Include both guaranteed support and support
that may stili be uncertain, (250 words max,)
Support will vary from house·to·house, KCHFH has been able to count on funding from the following
sources:
• Donors· estimated approximately $750 per house • reliable source
• Habitat Store Net Profit • estimated approximately $750 per house
Guaranteed
• Grant Funding: Approximately $2,500 per house
(outside ofthe 2060 funding) -can r,IIably be counted on

3. Sustainability: Describe how this project would or wouldn't be sustained if these
Homelessness Prevention and Affordable Housing funds were not available either
currently or in the future. (250 words max.)
Kittitas County Habitat for Humanity has a proven track record of successfully building
new-construction affordable housing units and making repairs for low-income homeowners.
Habitat for Humanity's housing programs will be sustained whether Homelessness Prevention
and Affordable Housing funds are available or not. Habitat for Humanity will continue to build
and make repairs at the rate funding allows. The Kittitas County funding will allow our affiliate
to increase the number of home repairs completed over a six-year period which will help keep
low-income homeowners in their homes in a healthy and safe environment. Some of the key
sustainability features of the repair program are:
• Habitat's repair services are sold to low-income partner families, not given away. The
services are to be a blessing to the family and not an additional burden. Therefore,
affordability is an equally vital component.
• We utilize volunteer labor by engaging community volunteers in service to build and repair
houses and work in our Store.
• Habitat for Humanity's brand has integrity which helps with fundraising and volunteer
turn-out.
• Our homeowner mortgages and/or loan proceeds and repair loan payments go into the
"Revolving Fund for Humanity." Each Habitat house built or repaired provides resources to build
or repair future homes.
• Habitat runs the Habitat Store to support the mission of Habitat. The Habitat Store provides
sustainable revenue for creating homeownership opportunities and making home repairs for
qualified low-income homeowners.
16
4. Partial Funding: If this project were to receive only partial funding from this source,
how would the project be impacted? How would the proposal be adjusted for less than
the requested amount of funds? (250 words max.)
If partial funding were provided by Kittitas County, the 14 -House Repair Project could slow
down, but would not cease. The time-frame for completion of the 14 houses may need to be
extended in the event of partial funding. Kittitas County Habitat for Humanity will continue to
raise funding to off-set any adjustment for less than the requested amount of funds.

Z. Specificity of strategy and measure
Answer: Please see revised Goals and Objective Forms
3. Goals and Objectives -Goal 1-no measurable
4. Answer: Please see revised Goals and Objective Forms
5. How many homes per year?
EXHIBIT "B"
Answer: Depending on the cost per repair, we expect to complete between 2 and 5
repairs per year. Some repairs such as roof replacements cost more than repairing
porch steps or building a wheelchair ramp. Roof replacements seem to be the most
requested repair. We are requesting $10,000 per year from Kittitas County 2060 funds
to fund these repairs for a period of six years. For every dollar provided by the 2060
funds for repairs, Habitat for Humanity will raise an additional $1.33 to complete the
repair. At the very least, Habitat for Humanity will complete 14 repairs over the she-
year period. It is likely that more projects will be completed as not all projects will be
roof replacements. Our goal is to complete as many projects as possible using 43%
2060 funding -$10,000 -and 57% Habitat for Humanity raised funds -$13,333.33 -to
a total of $23,333.33 per year.
6. Application, screening and selection process:
Answer:
When we hold a family selection, our goal is to get word out to as many people as
possible. To do this we:
• Send out notification to other non-profit organizations and networks within
Kittitas County so that they can refer people they know are in need
1
• Facebook; Twitter and website
• Post fliers around town -grocery stores, post offices, local government office
buildings, libraries, local convenience, and hardware stores,
• Press releases with local newspapers
• Washington Disability Resources
• Bright Beginnings -Early Education
.. Local School District offices
• Utility companies
.. Housing Authority of Kittitas County
• Local Hay Companies
.. Suncadia Resort
.. Department of Social and Health Services
.. Work Source
• Local churches
.. letters, emails and calls to people who have previously expressed an interest in
the program
.. Public Service Announcements on local radio stations.
Applicants are qualified for the program based on 3 criteria: 1) Need; Z) Ability to pay
a mortgage that does not exceed 30% of gross monthlv Income; The family's income
must fall between 30% and 60% of the area median income for Kittitas County, and 3)
Wi lli ngness to partne r, demonstrated by the homeowner family/individual working 8+
sweat equity hours helping repair their home and/or working in our Store. To select
the homeowner family/individual from a group of applicants, credit and criminal
background checks are made which help narrow down candidates. A home visit is
conducted on finalists to determine greatest need and determine the extent of the
work needed. A family selection committee works together to conduct a home repair
orientation - a public meeting at which the Habitat for Humanity program is
explained. At this meeting, the applicants submit their applications after meeting
with a volunteer to ask questions and review their application. The family selection
committee, after reviewing the applications, performing criminal and credit checks
and completing the home visit select the homeowner family. The family selection
committee makes a written recommendation to the board of directors and then the
board of directors vote on the selection of the family. Board approval takes place
within one month of the orientation meeting. Accepted families are notified
immediately, as are those who are not selected.
2
7. Credit worthiness of Habitat families/individuals
Answer: Yes, credit worthiness playa large role in the selection process. Habitat for
Humanity wants to see that those people selected handle money responsibly. Those
with good credit have been shown to have a greater chance of becoming and
remaining successful homeowners who will repay their loans. For those who do not
have good credit, Habitat for Humanity refers them to resources that can help them
strengthen their credit.
8. Does Habitat always charge for the repair?
Answer: Yes. Habitat for Humanity does not give repairs away. We offer a hand-up,
not a hand-out. Our homeowners will never pay more than 30% of their gross income
toward their housing expenses, which includes the house mortgage. Habitat for
Humanity makes repairs possible by offering a variety of loan products, including a
zero percent interest loans. Volunteer labor also helps to keep the costs of the repairs
as low as possible.
9. Repayment monies -going to Kittitas County or Into the Revolving Fund for Humanity
Answer: We request that when a partner family makes a repair loan payment to
Habitat for Humanity that the funding stays with Habitat for Humanity. This funding is
what is used to start the next Habitat repair. Every Habitat house repair provides
funding for the next Habitat repair. With affordable housing at a crisis level, our goal
is to increase capacity. We want to keep low-income homeowners who cannot afford
home repairs in their homes by helping them to make their homes more safe, healthy
and usable. To do this requires funding. The more funds we can raise the more
houses we can repair for those in need. All Revolving Fund for Humanity revenue goes
straight into the next house. This money is not used for administrative purposes but
toward our program costs for construction.
10. Revolving Fund for Humanity vs funding to complete additional repairs
Answer: The Revolving Fund for Humanity is part of Habitat's fund to complete
additional repairs.
11. Percentage of recipients who repay their obligation
Answer: Kittitas County Habitat for Humanity has repaired 9 homes in the last five
years. To date, all homeowners are making payments on their home repairs or have
paid off their loans for repair work.
12. Who documents the expenses against the approved budget?
Our program manager and bookkeeper, Jennifer Caloia, tracts all expenses in
QuickBooks. Each week the staff of Habitat for Humanity has a meeting where we
3
discuss the budget, the expenses and upcoming bills. Financials are discussed at our
monthly board meeting and voted on. A variance report is reviewed by the board and
staff members each month to assess where we stand on our budget.
13. Audits and accountability
Answer: We have an annual audit conducted by Viii brandt, Stark and Moorer, PLLC.
Bruce Moorer is our CPA. His contact information is 18 South 4th Avenue, Yakima,
Washington, 98902 509-575-1558.
14. Measure of Success:
Answer: We measure our success by several factors;
• Number of homes repaired
• Number of homeowner families/individuals served
• Number of volunteers engaged
• Number of outreach events completed to help educate the public about
affordable housing issues.
15. Reporting for 2018 (prior to 2019, 2020 monies being released)
Answer: We are happy to complete any report required for this grant by Kittitas
County and/or HAHC. As I recall, a quarterly report was required for this grant in the
past. In the past when reporting 2060 grant expenditures we have submitted:
• Receipts for purchases related to construction costs
• Information regarding our partner family
• Statistics required by the County of Kittitas
• Updates from news articles
• Updates on build progress
• Updates on fund raising efforts
If you should have additional questions or need clarification, please let me know .
