AGENDA STAFF REPORT
AGENDA DATE: April 19th, 2022
ACTION REQUESTED: Request the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) to approve and
sign contract HH-2022-001-HopeSource-Pathways.
BACKGROUND: HopeSource applied for Homelessness funds through the
Homelessness and Affordable Housing Committee. The application
for funds was for a purchase of the Nite’s Inn Motel in Ellensburg.
The purchase price is $1.5 million. HopeSource has asked the City of
Ellensburg and the County to fund this project equally at $750,000
per municipality. This property purchase would allow HopeSource to
seek other grants to turn the motel into Permanent Supportive
Housing (PSH) an aspect of homelessness housing that is not in place
in Kittitas County. The Committee met and received a presentation
from HopeSource about this project at a Special HAHC meeting on
March 18th, 2022. The Committee unanimously recommended and
approved this project application.
INTERACTION: The Homeless and Affordable Housing Committee met and received
the application and recommended it be forwarded to the BOCC. DPA
Mitchell reviewed the proposed contract. The finances have been
reviewed by the Auditor’s Office.
RECOMMENDATION: Request the Board of County Commissioners to approve and sign
contract HH-2022-001-HopeSource-Pathways with HopeSource for
the purchase of the property.
