PROPOSAL DETAITS
L. 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.)
The purpose of HopeSource is to protect those who caRnot protect themselves and to
encourage those who can. Our goals are to end homelessness in our community and to support
people in building self-sufficient lives. HopeSource has a 50-year history as a private, non-profit
community action agency operating in a rural environment, making a difference through
programs that stabilize households in crisis including housing, nutrition, energy assistance,
home weatherization, transportation, rental assistance, and youth recreation assistance.
HopeSource serves as the Continuum of Care lead for Kittitas County, operates the Coordinated
Entry system for Kittitas County, conducts the annual Point-ln-Time count, completes the
Community Needs Assessment, operates the only homeless shelter in the county, built 26 units
of new affordable housing in Cle Elum, kept 167 units of affordable housing units from going
market rate. HopeSource case managers are trained in trauma-informed care, motivational
interviewing, WSCAP family development, home health worker, mental health first aid, and

2. Proiect 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.)
The proposal is to purchase a 20-unit market-rate apartment building in Ellensburg and convert
it to a mixture of low-income units and shelter units providing housing opportunities for
seniors, veterans, disabled and homeless youth. The units are all one-bedroom units, which is
in keeping with the identification of one-bedroom apartments as the most needed unit type by
the City of Ellensburg Comprehensive Plan. With this purchase, we will preserve these needed
units affordable in an area that is likely to be re-developed leading to higher rents.
5
3. County Priorities: lndicate which of the following priorities are being addressed by the
proposed project. (Select all that apply and give a brief 1"00 word description for each
selected.)
lZ Ori.tty identify and engage people experiencing homelessness.
Outreach and identification are accomplished through field visits to all areas and businesses
where homeless individuals or families are likely to spend time. We track all outreach efforts
weekly to assure anyone experiencing homelessness is identified and given continued
opportunities to receive assistance. We work closely with the City Homeless Taskforce to come
alongside individuals identified as homeless with high vulnerability and currently unengaged
needing services. lntakes include a VI-SPIDAT designed for each demographic we serve to
determine each client's level of vuJnerability and to develop a stability plan best suited to the
needs of each client.
Prioritize housing for people with the greatest needs
HopeSource's prioritization policy is Category 1- "Literally Homeless," and Category4 "Those
Fleeing or Attempting to Flee Domestic Violence." We either deploy the Housing First method
of stabilizing homeless households or, where appropriate, employ diversion and reunification
to help the client identify alternative, safe housing placement and connect them to their
existing support systems and natural resources.
fZ Op"t.te an effective and efficient homeless crisis response system that
swiftly moves people into stable permanent housing.
The Kittitas County Continuum of Care Coordinated Entry System for homeless individuals was
created and implemented to better maximize resources available in the community and to
re-house homeless individuals or prevent eviction quickly. Using a web-based entry system
that can be accessed from any computer or phone, the system is positioned to deliver
information to the entire housing provider network immediately in one step, avoiding the need
to go "door to door" for assistance. Agencies then communicate among themselves to
determine the best choice for the applicant and to prioritize services. The client is then
contacted for a full intake with the agency best suited to meet their needs.

{
Project the fully implemented local plans on the number of households
1;Z; housed and the number of households left unsheltered, assuming existinglll-l resources and state policies.
This project will add ten units to the County homeless stock, as well as ten additional units of
affordable low-income housing, a priority of Objective 4 in the recently updated homeless plan
The plan also shows an increased need for housing that targets senior, disabled, and veteran
households who are rapidly being priced out of the market. This project will add ten units of
low-income housing targeting households earning at or below 60% AMl. Homeless households
will be placed through Coordinated Entry, which will reduce pressure on the homeless
response system in the county.
[Z nOOr"ss racial disparities amongst people experiencing homelessness.
HopeSource recognizes that race and economic status can significantly limit the opportunities
of program participants and acknowledges the unequal impact of these factors. HopeSource
works to prepare program participants to overcome systemic racism in housing, education,
asset building, income, employment, and access to high-quality food. lt is the expectation that
employees are sensitive to all diversity within the population of persons served by the
organization and the employee workforce.
Other information you think would be beneficialfor the Committee to know
HopeSource priorities and the priorities of the Homeless and Affordable Housing committee
stronglyalign with Governor lnslee's Reducing Povertyand lnequality 10-Year Plan. Allof those
projected to be served by this funding will have housing stability plans, including education and
employment plans. HopeSource's Hope University provides in-person and virtual coaching in
life skills such as basic budgeting, credit and debt, smart spending, stress management, and
healthy living to ensure they can maintain their independence in the long term. The
HopeSource Hope University suite works with people to strengthen or gain work skills and
behavior that will secure and sustain employment.
4. Partnerships: List your key community partnerships for the proposed project and what
their role will be. (250 words max.)

5. Gaps and Duplication in Services: Describe how your proposed project fills a gap in
homeless and/or affordable housing services in Kittitas County. lnclude a description of
how the project is or isn't a duplication of current services. (250 words max.)
The Ellensburg Housing Needs Assessment shows a clear need for one-bedroom apartments to
relieve the cost burden to seniors and people with disabilities on a fixed income: "As of 2017,
about 7O% of all households in Ellensburg have only 1 or 2 members. Yet only 28% of housing
units offered are studios or 1-bedroom. The lack of smaller format housing can pose a barrier to
many people living alone or with a partner who do not need or cannot afford a large home."
Census data shows that in the next ten years, seniors in Kittitas County at or below the poverty
line will increase by approximately 1000 households. Without dedicated affordable senior
housing units, many of these seniors may end up homeless. This project ensures that senior,
disabled, veteran, and youth households who have limited assets are not living in unsuitable
housing for lack of money. The relief of having affordable housing allows households to provide
themselves with lifesaving prescription and medical care, food, and decent basic clothing.
lntended residents can maintain pride in their independence and ability to care and provide for
themselves without living in fear of being without food, without primary necessary medical
care, and of being homeless with nowhere to turn.

6. Sustainability: Describe your ability, experience, and resources to implement and
sustain the project during the term of the project. (250 words max.)
HopeSource has owned and operated over 300 affordable housing units throughout Central
Washington, has developed 25 units, and is in the process of developing another 49 units. All
projects have maintained their affordability over the years, are fully funded, and have sufficient
operating reserves to maintain the structures and serve the populations as intended.
HopeSource financial controls include adherence to Fiscal Policies supported by OMB Circular
requirements and accounting practices. HopeSource is annually audited by an external account
and has received 12 consecutive years of clean audits. HopeSource uses the Abila MIP fund
accounting financial management system, which is a comprehensive, configurable solution that
enables staff to make better financial decisions, execute financial management with greater
precision, and better track, report, and manage finances across the entire organization.

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.)
See attached spreadsheet Attachment A for full use of funds. HopeSource will use the funds as
down payment assistance, funding the remaining due with proceeds from operations.
13
2. Other Support: Describe any monetary, in-kind, donations, grants, or other types of
support that will be used for the project. lnclude both guaranteed support and support
that may still be uncertain. (250 words max.)
HopeSource will provide case management for tenants as in-kind support for the project.
HopeSource staff will provide services that include trauma-informed case managemenq crisis
counseling; planning and support for timely resolution of a housing crisis; development of a
housing and employment stability plan; support in moving into permanent housing;
reunification with family or friends to secure or stabilize housing; and connecting clients to
mainstream and community-based services, financial counseling, energy assistance, food,
clothing, legal, and employment and education services.

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.)
Without the Homeless Prevention and Affordable Housing funds, HopeSource would not
be able to provide the down payment to secure the property and the community would
lose an opportunity to create 20 low income including L0 homeless homeless units
furthering our goal of creating 25 homeless units by 2024. The rental income from the
occupants will support operations and mortgage payments. lt is HopeSource's intention
to keep this project affordable for a minimum of 20 years renting only to households at
or below 60% AMl.
15
4. Partial Funding: lf 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.)
lf there is only partial funding available, the project will not be able to go forward.

Guide to Completing Development and Operating Pro Formas
And Cash Flow Projections
A. DEVEI-OPMENT PRO FORMA
This worksheet is used to calculate your total development budget. lt includes all uses of funds for hard and
soft costs as well as sources of funds. From the Operating budget worksheet, it carries over the amount of a
mortgage loan that the project can support, then subtracts the mortgage amount and developer equity by
formula to determine the required NSP funding amount.
Acquisition Costs
ln this version separate lines are shown for land and building costs, although these could be combined into
one line item if desired. Soft costs related to acquisition, such as the appraisal and closing costs, should be
listed under soft costs.
Construction Costs
The amountshould be estimated until there is a contract, then the actualcontract amount should be
entered. Besides the "hard" costs of materials and labor, the contract price will typically include such
components as an allowance for the contractor's project-related expenses or "general requirements" such
as building permits, fencing around the site, temporary storage for materials, the contractor's
overhead/profit, and the cost of a performance bond or letter of credit provided by the contractor to insure
that the project will be completed (if required). This amount should also include site improvements such as
excavation forfoundations or utilities, grading of the site, walkways, on-site roads, landscaping, outdoor
lighting or parking spaces. Estimates of construction costs for single-family rental rehab projects are usually
completed by a rehabilitation specialist based on a work write-up. lf substantial rehab or structural repairs
are involved, the estimate or a portion thereof might be created by an architect with input from a engineer.
ln the case of single-family rental rehab projects funded by NSP, limited off-site infrastructure costs might be
included that are crucial to making the home marketable. This could include work repairing contiguous and
nearby sidewalks or alleys.
lncluding a construction contingency amount outside the construction contract is typical and advisable.
Usually, the amount of contingency funds is not shared with the contractor. The contingency is used to fund
change orders. Typical contingency amounts for rental rehab projects are IO%lo 15%. Typically, the more
carefully the project has been evaluated and specifications identified, the lower the contingency amount
needed.
Soft Costs
. Architectural fees should be based on estimates from an architect. These fees may be based on a certain
percentage of the construction contract amount, a fee per dwelling unit, a flat fee for services, or another
basis. With rental rehab projects, the specifications and cost estimates are often completed by a rehab
specialist, either a specialist on the developer's staff or a contracted specialist. Note that design and
construction management costs could be S0 for budgeting purposes if the developer fee has been calculated
to pay for all project planning and management costs.
. The engineering fee should also include mechanical or structural engineering costs, if any, incurred as part
of the design process.
. Environmental review costs could include the cost of a third-party contractor completing reviews required
to determine clearance; the third-party reviews would need to be approved by the grantee or other
"responsible entity".
. A survey prior to acquisition may or may not be required by NSP grantees for single-family programs. Prior
to providing construction or permanent financing, it may be required by the mortgage lender. A survey can
reveal easements that make some of the land unbuildable.
. As-is appraisals are required in NSP for foreclosed properties, to determine if the selling price is at least 1%

rents" for the housing units in completed condition, based on a transmittal of the plans and specifications or
inspection of the unit(s) after the redevelopment is complete. The "rent comparables" should be used to
establish the rents in the operating pro forma.
. Property/casualty insurance should be obtained by the developer for the interim period before builder's
risk insurance comes into effect. lf the developer is also the general contractor, the developer should obtain
builder's risk insurance as insurance against casualtyand liability risks during construction. Otherwise,
builder's risk insurance is typically obtained by the building contractor and will be included in the
construction contract amount, above. ln addition, grantees typically require developers to obtain
commercial general liability insurance, the cost of which is typically covered by the developer fee.
. NSP funds or other funds can be used to pre-fund a replacement reserve so long as the amount is
reasonable and as required by a lender or eq.uity investor.
. Operating reserve - Pre-funding this reserve can cover the cost of operating the property while lease up is
occurring, or during periods when the property is not fully leased up. ln this example, the operating reserve
was calculated conservatively as two month's rent revenues. To be funded by NSP, HUD requires that this
amount be reasonable and as required by a lender or equity investor.
. Tenant relocation- For.occupied properties requiring relocation of tenants, the developer agreement
should spell out whether the financial and management responsibilities of tenant relocation lie with the
grantee or developer.
o Rent-up marketing costs - This line item includes the estimated costs of rent-up, such as advertising.
Developers should make sure that the staffing costs of rent-up are covered either in the development
budget or in the operating budget for the first year, but not in both pro formas.
. Soft cost contingency - This is a contingency amount that may be used if one or more soft costs are higher
than anticipated.
. Developer fee - This is the fee a developer charges to the project for their time and risk. Developer fees as
a percentof total developmentcostsgenerallyfall between 70%and 15%. lf funded byNSP, HUD requires
that the fee be reasonable and customary in the market for this type of development project. Developer
fees should be calculated based on the estimated time, effort and risk required of the developer. ln general,
higher developer fees are allowed if the developer is not being reimbursed by any funding source for
construction financing costs and holding costs and/or has equity at risk in the project. Fees are typically
lower if NSP or other sources are funding all holding costs and the developer has little or no equity in the
project. ln general, fees should also be lower for "easy" projects -- such as acquiring and selling homes in
good condition that require little or no rehabilitation. Sometimes fees are established as a specific dollar
amount per dwelling unit; this may be appropriate in projects where the per-unit development costs are
relatively low. For example, L5% of a 540,000 total development cost may not be sufficient incentive for a
developer to participate. Finally, it is generally not a good practice to both pay a fee and also reimburse the
developer for staffing and other internal costs; this raises the possiblity of "double dipping."
B. OPERATING PRO FORMA
The Operating Proforma worksheet is designed to summarize a rental project's bedroom distribution,
income targets, operating income and expenses, net operating income (NOl) before debt service, estimated
debt service (from the Operating page) and the NSP gap financing needed. This example shows only a single
rental unit and should be adapted as needed by the individual project.
. First enter the Project Name, Developer Name and Address of property.
r Enter the number of dwelling units of each type. A proforma could be used for several scattered-site units
in one project, but with single-family rentals, the pro forma will typically be for a single dwelling unit, though
Sample Pro Forma Single Family Rentals
it might be for a 2-4 unit property
' Enter the estimated monthly rental amounts. These should be based on "rent comparables" of similar
units in the vicinity of the project, in conditions similar to the after-redeveloment condition of the rental
unit(s) in the project.
' No "other income" is included because single-family rentals do not have income from sources such as
common laundries or renting a function room.
r Next, enter your project's estimated annual expenses in the expense line items. These should be based on
past experience of the developer or data obtained from similar types of rental projects. Maintenance costs
of detached or semi-detatched single-family rentals are typically higher than for low-rise apartments.
However, tenants in scattered-site rental units are typically responsible for grounds maintenance, per their
leases.
' Net operating income (NOl) is calculated by subtracting total operating expenses from gross effective
income. This indicates the amount of income available to pay debt service and provide for "debt service
coverage."
' "Supportable debt" is then automatically calculated by a formula based on the NOI and the assumptions in
the "supportable debt service calculation" grid. ln this example, the calculation assumes a debt service ratio
of 1'2, which means that the NOI must be 1.2 times (or 2Q% higher) than the amount available for debt
service' The debt service amount is also calculated automatically based on the supportable debt amount.
B. 2O-YEARCASH FIOW PROJECTION
It is a standard requirement of lenders for borrowers to provide a multi,year cash flow projection for a
period of years equal to the term of the loan. This projection spreadsheet allows users to enter assumptions
about inflation in rents and operating costs which automatically calculate increased income and expense
amounts for each year. This projection is used primarily to demonstrate that the debt service can be paid in
each year.
