Question: What other major forces drive planning that we should account for?
1
DOC Homeless and Affordable Housing Needs Estimates - HAPT
Current Homeless Estimate: 739 unduplicated count
Higher of Snapshot versus HMIS count
Current Number of Emergency and Transition Beds: 58 (177 by local count)
Current Number of Affordable Housing Units including PSH: 5765
2044 Projected Emergency Housing Need: 614 beds
2044 Additional Affordable Units Needed including PSH: 2848
71.5% of units need
2
Estimate Current Units Needed and Projections
Current Estimate of Units Needed Formula: (unduplicated count * length of stay/number of days per year)/HH size for homeless
Length of stay = 699 days. That comes to a system adjustment factor of 1.915 (699/365 = 1.915)
Snapshot Clients * length of stay = total beds needed
739 clients * 1.915 = 1,415 persons experiencing homelessness
1,415 persons / HH size for Homeless of 1.37 = 1033 HH or units needed
Current Length of Stay Emergency Housing: 487 days
(739 * (487/365))/1.37 = 720 units needed (that is, 30% reduction)
Projection Formula: ((prior year homeless persons count – positive exits) + new homelessness) * length of stay
614 beds needed in 2044

Question: Who is Responsible for Affordable Housing?
Of over 4000 units needed to meet growth, more than half (2200) are needed
to address current unmet affordable housing needs.

New Homeless Projection Factors
Incidence rate of homelessness = Percentage of people with given risk factor likely to become homeless (in any year)
Disability rate - 1-2% incidence rate
Evictions - 3-7% incidence rate
Foster Care – 3-5% incidence rate
Incarceration - 1-2% incidence rate
One Person Households - 1-2% incidence rate
Overcrowded Households - 2-4% incidence rate
Education - 0.5% - 1% incidence rate
Percent without a High School Diploma - 0.5%-1% incidence rate
Severe Rent Burdens (percentage of household income spent on rent) - 2.753%-2.919% incidence rate
Receipt of Cash Benefits - 3%-4% incidence rate

State Funding Reorganization
SSB 5386 (2023 legislature) reorganizes allocation of document recording surcharges for homeless housing and assistance. Same amount but different division of pie.
Percentages for local funds 158 and 159 have been combined and total reduced. 30% goes directly to counties.
Bulk of surcharge funds, 54.1%, go to the state’s “home security fund”.
13.1% in affordable housing for all fund
County Distribution
75% for achieving goals set out in 5-year plan
15% for development and operations
Home Security Fund
90% used for (operations) homeless assistance grants to counties
15% of grant funding tied to performance metrics
