Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 1 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Executive Summary ES-05 Executive Summary - 91.200(c), 91.220(b) 1. Introduction The City of Marysville 2015-2019 Consolidated Plan provides a framework to guide the City of Marysville in investing Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to address local priority housing and community development needs that primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons. The Consolidated Plan (Con Plan) is a comprehensive planning document that the City prepared in collaboration with residents, public and nonprofit agencies, and other stakeholders through consultations and a citizen participation process. The Consolidated Plan was informed by quantitative and qualitative data collected via communications with public and nonprofit agencies and citizens, surveys, public meetings, a public hearing, and general research. The Consolidated Plan is a requirement of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for receiving and administering CDBG funds. The City is part of a Housing Consortium, which was on a different Con Plan cycle. The City was required to contribute to the Consortia’s plan, which triggered the need to complete a new Consolidated Plan rendering the City’s first Consolidated Plan, which was effective from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2017, obsolete. This Con Plan will be in effect from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2019. 2. Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan As the City pursues these strategies and objectives over the next five years, the affordability of decent rental and owned housing units for Marysville’s low- and moderate-income residents, as well as the availability and accessibility of decent housing for people who are homeless or have special needs, should increase. Continued support for public services should aide in the availability, accessibility, and sustainability of a suitable living environment for low- and moderate-income residents. Additional public facilities improvements will add to the availability, accessibility and sustainability of a suitable living environment for low-and moderate income residents. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 2 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 3. Evaluation of past performance In the first two Program Years that the City has been an entitlement community, there has been great success in assisting underserved populations with household repairs and chores which enables them to retain their independence and remain in their homes. Over 200 individuals benefited from the CDBG funds allocated to the agencies which provide minor home repair and chore services to low-income seniors and disabled persons. The agencies are providing a much needed service and acting in a timely manner. Another need that has been served by the allocation of CDBG funds has been assistance to homeless and at risk of homelessness individuals and families. For each of the Program Years that have been completed, 70 individuals (20 families) had access to transitional housing as well as supportive services to aid them in moving towards securing permanent housing. A number of Capital Improvement projects were also completed which improved access to, and improved facilities, for low-moderate income individuals. The above mentioned past performances helped guide the City in its establishment of goals and projects for the next five years. 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process To ensure that all interested and affected parties have an opportunity to participate in development of the Consolidated Plan and 2015 Action Plan, the City solicited input from citizens and the public and nonprofit agencies that serve them, through public meetings, two public hearings, surveys, a 30-day public comment period, and general communications. Public meeting and public hearing comments, survey responses, and written public comments were reviewed and incorporated into the Consolidated Plan as appropriate. 5. Summary of public comments Three written comments were received regarding the City of Marysville draft plan, including: 1) a request to more specifically reference homeless unaccompanied youth; 2) a request for a facility to serve basic needs of the homeless population including bathroom/shower facilities, laundry and plug- ins; and 3) a request to require rental housing capital projects receiving funding to have an indoor no- smoking policy. The first request was incorporated, to the extent feasible and applicable, in Sections NA-10, NA-40, and SP-45 of the Snohomish County Consortium Lead Grantee Template in the final plan. With regard to the second request, the City is not pursuing operation of a facility of this nature at ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 3 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) the current time, but agrees with and recognizes the needs highlighted in the comment.

Introduction The public and low-income housing providers, as well as the governmental planning, health, mental health and service agencies, have close working relationships in Marysville and Snohomish County. Snohomish County Community Services Department is the lead agency for homeless housing and behavioral health activities in our community. The City consults regularly with the local Continuum of Care and also participates in the Partnership to End Homelessness. The City also consults regularly with the Snohomish County Housing Authority. Provide a concise summary of the jurisdiction’s activities to enhance coordination between public and assisted housing providers and private and governmental health, mental health and service agencies (91.215(I)). City of Marysville Community Development staff collected quantitative and qualitative data via online research, communications with other agencies, surveys, public meetings, and a public hearing to develop the Consolidated Plan. Staff utilized research gathered from surveys issued directly to low- and moderate- income individuals, to gain a better understanding of the available resources, needs, barriers, and strategies for serving Marysville’s low- and moderate-income population. To solicit additional details from all stakeholders, the City held public meetings and a public hearing. In preparing the Consolidated Plan, staff consulted with a comprehensive group of public and private housing, health, and social services agencies, including those focused on services to children, elderly persons, persons with disabilities, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and homeless persons. Staff also consulted with agencies focused on homeless strategies and resources and lead-based paint hazards, as well as the local public housing authority and adjacent governments, including those involved with metropolitan-wide planning.

Joint meetings with both agencies, as well as with local Housing Authorities, took place on a regular basis. Common goals and objectives were identified and strategies developed to achieve those goals. Projects which are funded by one agency, but are located in the jurisdiction of another, are verified for consistency with both agencies Con Plans prior to commencement of work. In pursuing these efforts, the City will continue to work to stay informed of housing, homelessness, and community development efforts of neighboring jurisdictions, the county, and the region to ensure that the City’s goals and objectives, contained in this Consolidated Plan and other city planning documents, align with the larger strategies of the metropolitan region. To help facilitate this coordination, the City is involved with Snohomish County Tomorrow, the Housing Consortium of Everett and Snohomish County, the City of Everett, and the Snohomish County Inter-jurisdictional Housing Committee. The City also works with Snohomish County for investment of HOME Program funds in Marysville. The City has identified its economic development role, policies, and objective in the Economic Development Element of the GMA Comprehensive Plan. Generally, the City of Marysville has worked with local, regional and state agencies, such as the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Association, Economic Alliance Snohomish County, and Private Industry Council and State of Washington Department of Commerce to market the economic assets and opportunities of Marysville. Whenever possible, the City plans to coordinate affordable housing activities with public transportation expansion, pedestrian infrastructure improvement, and public facility projects to maximize the benefit to low- and moderate-income population. The City has the support of Community Transit, the countywide transit authority that provides public transportation services in Marysville, for projects that improve transit access and operations. In addition, the Dial-A-Ride Transportation (DART) paratransit service, which provides transportation for people whose disability or condition prevents them from using Community Transit regular route buses, is operated by Senior Services of Snohomish County, a key nonprofit organization with which the City consulted in developing this plan.

Ms. Peterson also read this letter into the public hearing before Marysville City Council on May 11, 2015.Currently, Local housing authorities subsidized housing units, including Public Housing units, are 100% smoke-free indoors and out, and some, but not all of unsubsidized housing have smoke-free policies in place. Rental subsidies are addressed using HOME funds, which are funded through Snohomish County. Snohomish County has incentives in place to encourage recipients of HOME and CDBG funds to enact no smoking policies. At the public hearing held on May 11, 2015, Marysville City Council requested that a no smoking policy be researched and developed for applicants seeking CDBG Funds through the City of Marysville.

Table 4– Citizen Participation Outreach ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 32 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Needs Assessment NA-05 Overview Needs Assessment Overview The Needs Assessment (NA) section of the City of Marysville Consolidated Plan provides information on the housing needs and problems of residents of varying income levels. The section also discusses the needs of persons who are homeless; residents with special needs; and non-housing community development needs. Much of the data used in the section were prepopulated by HUD; and local data on the rental housing market from HUD Data Sets at http://www.huduser.org/portal/datasets/pdrdatas.html. According to HUD, housing is generally considered affordable when a household pays no more than 30% of its gross income for gross housing costs, including utilities. However, when household income does not increase at the same rate as rising housing costs, households are often forced to spend more than 30% of their income on housing, making it difficult to afford other essential needs like transportation, food, and medicine. The needs identified were consistent with past needs, and include more affordable housing units for households with incomes at or below 80 percent of area median income. Affordable housing units may be either rental or owner occupied, but making the units available at an affordable rate is the present need. Severe cost burden was identified as the main housing problem experienced by residents in the City. One particular need that addresses affordable housing is housing rehabilitation. Units that are not maintained properly and in a state of disrepair contribute to the overall cost of that unit. Additionally, there is a need for affordable housing for elderly. The needs of the homeless are also for accessible housing options, including emergency shelter and permanent housing. Community development needs include facilities improvements, access improvements, and public services. Over the next five years, these needs will be consistently evaluated to determine whether they are diminishing or being eliminated. A needs assessment is an ongoing process, and each annual action plan will make adjustments to meet those needs when necessary.

This increase includes multiple annexations, and today only small portions of Marysville’s UGA remain unincorporated. The County still predicts Marysville will continue to grow at a strong rate, accommodating 27,569 more residents by 2035. This is the second largest absolute increase in population predicted in Snohomish County cities after Everett, and will require an estimated 10,513 additional housing units. According to the “2012 Buildable Lands Report for Snohomish County”, there is sufficient capacity to accommodate this rate of growth through 2025, though the analysis must be adjusted to project capacity for 2035. Permitting activity is one indicator for the strength of the local housing market. Marysville’s housing permit trends since 2001, as shown in Table 6, reflect the City’s high level of growth and demand for single-family housing. It also shows the impact of the recent economic downturn and recovery since. As shown in Table 7, single-family units were reported in 2013 to represent 79% of all Marysville housing, a rate approximately 10% higher than the county and state.

Growth brought with it rapid change to small farms, rural lands, open space, roads and infrastructure affecting the community. Growth also brought many new residents with expectations for their new home based on the community they came from. New capital projects have been planned , financed and constructed for roads, parks, wastewater, water, stormwater and public buildings. These public improvements have produced an influx of new residents and visitors alike. As a full-service city responsive to its citizens, Marysville takes care of its needs for today while building a better tomorrow.

The projected growth rate for Snohomish County for 2012-2022 is 1.39%, lower than historical growth rates. The projected average annual growth rates for the major occupational groups in Washington state are as follows: Construction and extraction occupations healthcare support occupations (2.17%) and computer and mathematical occupations (2.15%) are projected to grow faster than other occupational groups from 2012 through 2022. In the long term, only one occupational group is projected to fall below a one percent average annual growth rate: farming, fishing and forestry Describe any major changes that may have an economic impact, such as planned local or regional public or private sector investments or initiatives that have affected or may affect job and business growth opportunities during the planning period. Describe any needs for workforce development, business support or infrastructure these changes may create. According to the 2005 Marysville Comprehensive Plan, the forecast employment growth rate will produce an additional 14,642 jobs by 2025, with a total employment capacity of 26,766. These numbers will likely change to reflect the recent and currently active retail and commercial activity in the Lakewood/Smokey Point area when the 2015 Comprehensive Plan Update is completed in June of 2015. The City pursued, but was not granted at the time, a Regional Manufacturing Industrial Center Designation in 2011. A local designation was achieved, and the City continues to pursue the Regional designation. The Regional designation comprises 4,091 acres of industrial and general/highway commercial properties with 2,291 acres in Arlington and 1,800 acres in Marysville. This represents capacity for 77,800 jobs when fully developed. 70% of the jobs created in the Manufacturing Industrial Center will be typically categorized as industrial family wage Aerospace and High Tech engineering and manufacturing employment. Approximately 20 % will be service related and 10% will be retail trade supporting the manufacturing employment. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 50 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) How do the skills and education of the current workforce correspond to employment opportunities in the jurisdiction? Snohomish County experienced relative job losses that exceeded that of the state or the nation in 2009 and 2010. It has also experienced above average job creation by comparison during the recovery. A general trend of employment growth continued into the first several months of 2014; however the rate of job growth has been slowing. Durable goods manufacturing, specifically aerospace production led by Boeing and several smaller aerospace firms, has been a leading industry in Snohomish County, and continues to be the county’s single largest industrial base of employment, according to the Washington State Employment Security Department. Employment in aerospace expanded rapidly in 2010 and 2011, peaked in late 2012 and declined through 2013 and into 2014. Moving forward, the City expects to see continued recovery, albeit at a slower pace than was observed in 2011 and 2012. One sector that is expected to experience high growth over the next several years is construction. Construction had suffered greater proportional and absolute job losses than other major industry sectors in Snohomish County and statewide. Comparing July 2014 with July 2013, construction added 1,500 jobs or 8.9 percent. Statewide, the Economic and Revenue Forecast Council’s June 2014 forecast points to accelerated year-over-year job growth in construction over the next couple of years. Currently, 35.9% of the civilian employed labor force in Marysville have some college or Associates degree, 23.8% posses a high school, or equivalent, education; and approximately 16.6% have a bachelor’s degree or higher. Describe any current workforce training initiatives, including those supported by Workforce Investment Boards, community colleges and other organizations. Describe how these efforts will support the jurisdiction's Consolidated Plan. Workforce Snohomish, the local workforce investment board, and every K-20 public educational institution in Snohomish County are collaborating on workforce training initiatives to address this skills gap and create economic opportunity for all Snohomish County residents. Workforce Snohomish County is a joint venture with a broad range of social services, educational and trade organizations and has training programs aimed at a number of specific populations. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 51 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Does your jurisdiction participate in a Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS)? Yes If so, what economic development initiatives are you undertaking that may be coordinated with the Consolidated Plan? If not, describe other local/regional plans or initiatives that impact economic growth. The Puget Sound Regional Council’s (PSRC) Regional Economic Strategy for the Central Puget Sound Region includes Everett, Marysville, and Snohomish County. In the Regional Economic Strategy there are the following goals: Ensure residents have access to family wage jobs, and employers have access to world-class employees. Foster a regional business climate that supports new high quality investment and job creation. Harness the entrepreneurship and technology innovation assets in the region. Advance the region’s infrastructure to meet the demands of a globally connected modern economy. Ensure a healthy and beautiful environment, vibrant and thriving communities and a high quality of life for all the region’s residents. The Economic Alliance of Snohomish County (EASC), a local Economic Development Agency, is also involved in advocating and implementing economic initiatives for Snohomish County, Everett, Marysville and other cities, business interests and service organizations in the county as well as supporting and advocating the regional initiatives. The strategies for EASC in their 5-year Work Plan include the following: Industry and Resource Development-Actions will focus on business retention/expansion, business attraction and regional marketing, and identification of county resource issues which support the prior two activities.

(include a definition of "concentration") Eighty eight percent of extremely low income households within Census Tract 527.07, the western portion of 527.05, and the southern portion of 527.09 have one or more severe housing problems, as defined by HUD. Census tracts 528.05, 528.06, 529.04, 529.05, and the eastern portion of 521.04 have at least 70% of extremely low income houses with at least one severe housing problem. Concentration is defined as 70% or more of extremely low income households. Are there any areas in the jurisdiction where racial or ethnic minorities or low-income families are concentrated? (include a definition of "concentration") Areas of concentrated racial or ethnic minorities exist mainly in the south end of the City. For the purpose of this plan, Marysville defines areas of concentrated racial and ethnic diversity as those where 30% or more of the residents represent racially or ethnically diverse populations. Using this definition, the following block groups had a concentrated higher share of diverse populations in 2010: 527.09.2, 528.06.5, 529.03.1, 529.03.2, 529.05.2, and 529.06.3. What are the characteristics of the market in these areas/neighborhoods? While Marysville’s population became more racially and ethnically diverse between 2000 and 2010, it remained less diverse than the county and state. More than 78% of family households in this area are in poverty. Approximately 38% of households in these areas have one or more people under 18 years of age. Sales and office occupations make up the largest precentage of occupations held in these areas. Are there any community assets in these areas/neighborhoods? Low-income housing, including Beachwood Apartments, a low-income apartment complex for families experiencing or at risk of homelssness, are located within the above listed census tracts. Other assests in these areas include a newly completed spary park, providing free recreational activites, as well as a senior center, and the downtown neighborhood, a focal point for local commerce, employment and recreation. Are there other strategic opportunities in any of these areas? ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 54 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Opportunities which exist within these areas include low- moderate-income housing rehabilitation. Placement of additional resources for homeless or at-risk of homelessness families and individuals in these areas as they are close to transit and existing resources. Opportunites also exist for addressing gaps in infrastructure and accessibility in the downtown area.

The Strategic Plan will be in effect from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2019. Priorities for allocating investment among different activities and needs were informed by the citizen participation process, consultations with public and nonprofit agencies, assessment of needs data, and the potential for the greatest benefit considering the limited amount of funding available. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 58 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-10 Geographic Priorities - 91.415, 91.215(a)(1) Geographic Area Table 16 - Geographic Priority Areas 1 Area Name: Downtown Marysville Area Type: Local Target area Other Target Area Description: HUD Approval Date: % of Low/ Mod: Revital Type: Comprehensive Other Revital Description: Identify the neighborhood boundaries for this target area.

Include specific housing and commercial characteristics of this target area. Downtown is a focal point for commerce, employment, recreation, and has a great potential to draw more visitors to the area. The neighborhood is also home to a large amount of low- and moderate- income individuals. How did your consultation and citizen participation process help you to identify this neighborhood as a target area? For some time, downtown has been a priority area for community and economic development. Recent projects have increased attention to the area and reinforced this as a priority area, as was determined by consultation with stakeholders and survey responses. Identify the needs in this target area. This area has a high concentration of LMI households. Increased access to services as well as addressing gaps in infrastructure are needs identified in this area. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 59 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) What are the opportunities for improvement in this target area? The Downtown Master Plan outlines many strategic opportunities in this area. Several opportunities, including the riverfront area with a number of vacant parcels, the areas east and west of the Town Center Mall, and the blocks surrounding Comeford Park, exist within this area. Opportunities for rehabilitation, increased access to services, and addressing gaps in infrastructure exist due to the high concentration of LMI households. Are there barriers to improvement in this target area? The greatest barrier to meeting underserved needs is expected to be the availability of adequate financial resources to keep pace with demand, particularly related to affordable housing and services for the growing senior population, persons with disabilities, victims of domestic violence, and homeless persons with mental health and chemical dependency issues. 2 Area Name: City of Marysville Area Type: Local Target area Other Target Area Description: HUD Approval Date: % of Low/ Mod: Revital Type: Comprehensive Other Revital Description: Identify the neighborhood boundaries for this target area.

General Allocation Priorities Describe the basis for allocating investments geographically within the state CDBG funds will be targeted to activities benefiting the block groups where at least 51% of the residents have income at or below 80% of the median income, as defined by HUD. The investment of CDBG funds will be based on whether an activity meets all of the following criteria: • Meets a national objective • Meets a CDBG objective • Is an eligible activity according to CDBG entitlement program guidelines • Is consistent with the priorities and objectives of this plan Assistance will be primarily directed to the City’s areas with a majority of low- and moderate-income residents and concentrations of racial and ethnic diversity. Allocation priorities and investments for the 2015 program year were informed by the priority needs identified in the citizen and consultation processes and general research, as well as the potential for providing the greatest benefit, considering the limited amount of funding available, while meeting CDBG Program requirements. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 61 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Poverty by Census Tract ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 62 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) HUD Low-Mod Income ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 63 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-25 Priority Needs - 91.415, 91.215(a)(2) Priority Needs Table 17 – Priority Needs Summary 1 Priority Need Name Housing Priority Level High Population Extremely Low Low Moderate Families with Children Elderly Individuals Elderly Persons with Mental Disabilities Persons with Physical Disabilities Persons with Developmental Disabilities Geographic Areas Affected Downtown Marysville City of Marysville Associated Goals Homelessness Housing Description The following renter and owner households have priority housing needs: elderly, include a person with a disability, small related, and those with income at or below 50% of median income, as determined by HUD.

These extremely low-income households are more sensitive to income fluctuations, which places them at-risk for homelessness. 2 Priority Need Name Homelessness Priority Level High Population Extremely Low Low Families with Children Chronic Homelessness Individuals Families with Children Victims of Domestic Violence Geographic Areas Affected Downtown Marysville City of Marysville Associated Goals Homelessness ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 65 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Description The City will work to reduce and end homeless by collaborating with local and countywide public and nonprofit agencies to identify gaps in local facilities and services for homeless persons and determine local priority needs. As funding permits, the City will provide financial support to and monitor the effectiveness of programs that do the following, while focusing on locally identified gaps and priorities: • Reach out to homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families and unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs • Address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons • Help homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again • Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care into homelessness (such as health-care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions) or receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs The following have been identified as priority homeless needs: • Programs that provide necessities and promote employment and economic advancement • Emergency shelter for families ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 66 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Basis for Relative Priority Prioritization of these needs is based on assessment of the existing facilities and services available for homeless individuals and families in Marysville, the needs and demographic data collected during the 2014 Snohomish County PIT, and consultations with public and nonprofit agencies. Due to funding limitations, allocation priority will be given to programs that provide homeless families and individuals with necessities or promote employment and economic advancement. The City will work to provide incentives for the production of an emergency shelter for families. 3 Priority Need Name Non-homeless Special Needs Priority Level High Population Extremely Low Low Moderate Middle Families with Children Elderly Elderly Frail Elderly Persons with Mental Disabilities Persons with Physical Disabilities Persons with Developmental Disabilities Persons with Alcohol or Other Addictions Persons with HIV/AIDS and their Families Victims of Domestic Violence Geographic Areas Affected City of Marysville Associated Goals Housing Non-homeless Special Needs ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 67 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Description Housing and supportive service needs of persons who are not homeless but may or may not require supportive housing, such as elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, victims of domestic violence, and youth. These needs are based on the 2005 City of Marysville Comprehensive Plan, consultations with local housing and social services agencies, and general research. CDBG funds will support programs that assist persons with these types of needs. Basis for Relative Priority Priority is given to serving elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, developmental, or physical), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, and victims of domestic violence. The largest special needs populations in Marysville are estimated to be elderly, frail elderly, and persons with disabilities (mental, developmental, or physical). Other populations that are difficult to estimate but that are likely high are those with alcohol or other drug addictions and victims of domestic violence. 4 Priority Need Name Non-housing Community Development Priority Level Low ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 68 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Population Extremely Low Low Moderate Middle Large Families Families with Children Elderly Public Housing Residents Chronic Homelessness Individuals Families with Children Mentally Ill Chronic Substance Abuse veterans Persons with HIV/AIDS Victims of Domestic Violence Unaccompanied Youth Elderly Frail Elderly Persons with Mental Disabilities Persons with Physical Disabilities Persons with Developmental Disabilities Persons with Alcohol or Other Addictions Persons with HIV/AIDS and their Families Victims of Domestic Violence Geographic Areas Affected Downtown Marysville City of Marysville Associated Goals Community Development ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 69 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Description • Clearance of Contaminated Sites • Code Enforcement • Public Facility • Senior CentersHandicapped CentersHomeless FacilitiesYouth CentersChild Care CentersMental Health FacilitiesParks and/or Recreation FacilitiesAbused/Neglected Children Facilities • Infrastructure • Water/Sewer Improvements • Street Improvements • Sidewalks • Flood Drainage Improvements • Public Services • Senior ServicesHandicapped ServicesLegal ServicesYouth ServicesChild Care ServicesTransportation ServicesSubstance Abuse ServicesEmployment/Training ServicesHealth Services • Economic Development • C/I Infrastructure DevelopmentC/I Building Acq/Const/Rehab • Other • Planning Basis for Relative Priority Priority was given to each category of need based on the level of funding expected, the benefit to low-income and special needs populations (homeless, seniors, persons with disabilities, person with severe mental illness, victims of domestic violence, and youth), and capital improvements considered necessary to address community needs. Narrative (Optional) In pursuing the strategies and objectives outlined in this plan over the next five years, the City anticipates increasing the affordability of decent rental and owned housing units for Marysville’s low- and moderate-income residents, as well as the availability and accessibility of decent housing for people who are homeless or have special needs. The availability, accessibility, and sustainability of a suitable living environment for low- and moderate-income residents should increase due to infrastructure and public facilities improvements and support for public services, and support for employment-related public services and economic development should enhance the availability and accessibility of economic opportunities for those in need. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 70 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 71 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-35 Anticipated Resources - 91.420(b), 91.215(a)(4), 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction The Strategic Plan presents the City of Marysville’s priority needs, strategies, and objectives to demonstrate how the City will provide new or improved availability/accessibility, affordability, and sustainability of decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income residents. The Strategic Plan will be in effect from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2019. CDBG funds will be targeted to activities benefiting the block groups where at least 51% of the residents have income at or below 80% of the median income, as defined by HUD. The investment of CDBG funds will be based on whether an activity meets all of the following criteria: • Meets a national objective • Meets a CDBG objective • Is an eligible activity according to CDBG entitlement program guidelines • Is consistent with the priorities and objectives of this plan ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 72 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Anticipated Resources Program Source of Funds Uses of Funds Expected Amount Available Year 1 Expected Amount Available Reminder of ConPlan $ Narrative Description Annual Allocation: $ Program Income: $ Prior Year Resources: $ Total: $ CDBG public - federal Acquisition Admin and Planning Economic Development Housing Public Improvements Public Services 346,629 0 6,691 353,320 1,280,000 Funds used for admin/planning, housing, public facilities, public services Table 18 - Anticipated Resources Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Federal funds the City receives through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) are used to leverage other federal, state, local and private resources to meet housing and community development needs. While matching funds are not currently required for the City’s CDBG program, the City anticipates that most major projects will be funded primarily through non-CDBG resources.

Based on preliminary information collected from Marysville’s nonprofit and public agencies, the City expects the greatest gaps in the delivery system to be the shortage of affordable housing for low-income families, seniors, and persons with disabilities; the absence of an emergency shelter in the community; and inadequate funding for support services for Marysville’s homeless and special needs populations.

In recent years, one organization funded by CDBG benefited 70 individuals (20 families) over one program year. This organization provides Case Managers that work with parents to develop goals and step-by-step plans to move families forward, including basic education, access to child support, legal remedies, quality childcare, and preparation for employment. During weekly visits to families in their homes, case managers address daily problems, reinforce successes and offer guidance. The afore mentioned organization also aides persons and families who are at risk of becoming homeless. Describe the and gaps of the service delivery system for special needs population and persons experiencing homelessness, including, but not limited to, the services listed above of Service Delivery: ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 76 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) • Centralized, coordination of providers and their services • Collaborative partnerships across systems of care through the local homeless agencies and other collaboratives • Continuum of care and care coordination (primary care, hospital, supportive services • organizations) • Strong client support/advocacy organization Gaps of Service Delivery: • A transitional housing program is needed to help people that get clean to get back on their feet once they complete the six month treatment program in Seattle. They have room in the treatment programs, but nowhere for the clients to come back home to afterwards. • Short Term Rental assistance for people having trouble paying their rent or mortgage for that month. The hope is to keep people in their homes and not having to re-house them. • Shortage of affordable housing for low-income families, seniors, and persons with disabilities. • Absence of an emergency shelter in the community • It is hard to identify homeless and at-risk youth. Provide a summary of the strategy for overcoming gaps in the institutional structure and service delivery system for carrying out a strategy to address priority needs In pursuing the strategies and objectives outlined in this plan over the next five years, the City anticipates increasing the affordability of decent rental and owned housing units for Marysville’s low- and moderate-income residents, as well as the availability and accessibility of decent housing for people who are homeless or have special needs by continuing to fund organizations that address specific needs of that specific population. The availability, accessibility, and sustainability of a suitable living environment for low- and moderate-income residents should increase due to infrastructure and public facilities improvements and support for public services, and support for employment-related public services and economic development should enhance the availability and accessibility of economic opportunities for those in need. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 77 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-45 Goals - 91.415, 91.215(a)(4) Goals Summary Information Sort Order Goal Name Start Year End Year Category Geographic Area Needs Addressed Funding Goal Outcome Indicator 1 Housing 2015 2019 Affordable Housing Public Housing Non-Homeless Special Needs Downtown Marysville City of Marysville Housing Non-homeless Special Needs CDBG: $164,929 Homeowner Housing Rehabilitated: 60 Household Housing Unit 2 Homelessness 2015 2019 Homeless Downtown Marysville City of Marysville Homelessness Housing CDBG: $17,700 Homelessness Prevention: 70 Persons Assisted 3 Non-homeless Special Needs 2015 2019 Non-Homeless Special Needs City of Marysville Non-homeless Special Needs CDBG: $5,000 Public service activities other than Low/Moderate Income Housing Benefit: 45 Persons Assisted 4 Community Development 2015 2019 Non-Housing Community Development Downtown Marysville City of Marysville Non-housing Community Development CDBG: $95,000 Public Facility or Infrastructure Activities other than Low/Moderate Income Housing Benefit: 5000 Persons Assisted Public service activities other than Low/Moderate Income Housing Benefit: 90 Persons Assisted 5 Planning and Administration 2015 2019 Planning and Administration City of Marysville CDBG: $64,000 Other: 1 Other Table 21 – Goals Summary ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 78 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Goal Descriptions ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 79 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 1 Goal Name Housing ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 80 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Goal Description The following renter and owner households have priority housing needs: elderly, include a person with a disability, small related, and those with income at or below 50% of median income, as determined by HUD. Priority is given to these groups for the following reasons: • Seniors and adult persons with disabilities often live on a fixed income, tend to have higher health care costs, and can have difficulty renting or remaining in their homes due to an inability to afford rent or costs of home maintenance or repair related to safety and/or accessibility. • Small related families represent more than half of Marysville households and were the largest renter and owner household group with housing problems in 2000. • Households with income at or below 50% of median income tended to have the highest rates of housing problems and cost burden in 2000, and those at or below 30% of median income tended to have the highest rates of severe cost burden. These extremely low-income households are more sensitive to income fluctuations, which places them at-risk for homelessness. Due to the limited funding available, allocations will focus on the repair and rehabilitation of units and programs that support economic advancement, as opposed to production or acquisition of units. Specific Affordable Housing Objectives Housing Strategy 1 (AHS-1): Enable homeowners to remain in their homes, primarily benefiting seniors, persons with disabilities, and very low-income persons Housing Objective 1 (AHO-1): Provide assistance for improving the safety and accessibility of housing units that benefit seniors and persons with physical or developmental disabilities Housing Objective 2 (AHO-2): Assist very low-, low-, and moderate-income homeowners improve the safety of their homes, with priority given to very low-income households Housing Strategy 2 (AHS-2): Preserve and increase the affordable housing stock Housing Objective 3 (AHO-3): Provide incentives to public, private, and nonprofit partners to retain, maintain, and/or expand the affordable housing stock Public Housing Strategy ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 81 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) According to HASCO, there are a few projects in Marysville that they plan to rehabilitate in the next five years. HUD approved conversion of all public housing units to affordable workforce housing. In the City of Marysville, this affects Cedar Grove and the two duplexes. HASCO plans to complete interior unit renovations as units turn over, as well as property improvements. In addition, in 2017, HASCO plans to resyndicate Westwood Crossing as a tax credit project, which would include a rehabilitation of the property. HASCO is not working on any acquisitions in Marysville; however, it would consider a viable project opportunity if one arose. The City plans to invest in programs that support economic opportunities, training, and services that would enable low-income residents to increase their income and participate in homeownership. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 82 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 2 Goal Name Homelessness ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 83 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Goal Description Priority Homeless Needs The following have been identified as priority homeless needs: • Emergency shelter for families • Programs that provide necessities and promote employment and economic advancement Prioritization of these needs is based on assessment of the existing facilities and services available for homeless individuals and families in Marysville, the needs and demographic data collected during the 2014 Snohomish County PIT, and consultations with public and nonprofit agencies. Due to funding limitations, allocation priority will be given to programs that provide homeless families and individuals with necessities or promote employment and economic advancement. The City will work to provide incentives for the production of an emergency shelter for families and to provide funding for public service activities including, but not limited to, shelter operations, case management, substance abuse and mental health programs. Homeless Strategies/Objectives The City will work to reduce/end homeless by collaborating with local and countywide public and nonprofit agencies to identify gaps in local facilities and services for homeless persons and determine local priority needs. As funding permits, financial support to monitor the effectiveness of programs that do the following, may be given: • Reach out to homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families and unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs • Address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons • Help homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again • Help low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families who are likely to become homeless after being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care into homelessness (such as health-care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 84 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions) or receiving assistance from public and private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs Homeless Strategy 1 (HMS-1): Work to reduce/end homelessness; Homeless Objective 1 (HMO-1): Assist persons at risk of becoming homeless by providing support for homeless prevention programs; Homeless Objective 2 (HMO-2): Assist homeless persons in the transition to self-sufficiency by supporting transitional, permanent supportive and affordable housing and related services, giving priority to families; Homeless Objective 3 (HMO-3): Support emergency shelters meeting the needs of homeless Marysville families or runaway youth; Homeless Strategy 2 (HMS-2): Promote production of a local emergency shelter for families ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 85 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) 3 Goal Name Non-homeless Special Needs ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 86 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Goal Description Below is a summary of the priority housing and supportive service needs of persons who are not homeless but may or may not require supportive housing, such as elderly, frail elderly, persons with disabilities (mental, physical, developmental, persons with HIV/AIDS and their families), persons with alcohol or other drug addictions, victims of domestic violence, and youth. These needs are based on the 2005 City of Marysville Comprehensive Plan, consultations with local housing and social services agencies, and general research. • Elderly and Frail Elderly • Persons with Severe Mental Illness • Persons with Developmental Disabilities • Persons with Physical Disabilities • Persons with Alcohol and Other Drug Addictions • Persons with HIV/ AIDS and their Families • Victims of Domestic Violence • Youth As previously discussed in the Needs Assessment section, the largest special needs populations in Marysville are estimated to be elderly, frail elderly, and persons with disabilities (mental, developmental, or physical). Other populations that are difficult to estimate but that are likely high are those with alcohol or other drug addictions and victims of domestic violence.

All homeowners and mobile homeowners residing in pre-1978 housing are to receive the brochure, “Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home” issued by EPA, HUD and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The Program participant, upon receiving this pamphlet, will sign a form to verify acceptance. This form will be kept in the client’s file. 2. The Minor Home Repair Program falls into the Rehabilitation under $5,000 category of HUD guidelines. This category assumes that paint will be LBP and rehabilitation will be performed in such a way that does not create lead hazards. Safe work practices must be used and the work, upon completion, will require a clearance test by an EPA/HUD licensed tester. How are the actions listed above integrated into housing policies and procedures? Occupants of homes constructed prior to 1978 are informed of the presence and of the hazards of LBP.

The City’s anti- poverty strategy focuses on providing resources for programs that reduce the effects of living in poverty and promote self-sufficiency, such as: • Education and job training programs • Economic development activities and policies that increase the availability of living wage jobs • Home improvement activities that assist low- and moderate-income homeowners with needed repairs for health, safety, weatherization, and housing preservation • Social services that provide or lessen the cost of necessities, such as food, shelter, clothing, health care, and childcare • Transportation projects that improve pedestrian safety and transit access, particularly for seniors and persons with disabilities • Outreach activities that promote awareness of housing and social services available for low- and moderate-income residents, accommodating language diversity and persons with limited access to online media CDBG funding is an essential resource for supporting many of these housing, infrastructure, and social service programs that serve extremely low- and very low-income residents, particularly families, seniors, persons with disabilities, and those who are homeless or have other special needs. Additional funding under the HOME Program and other federal, state, and local homeless and housing programs administered by the Snohomish County Human Services Department Office of Housing Homelessness and Community Development also assist in addressing poverty in Marysville. How are the Jurisdiction poverty reducing goals, programs, and policies coordinated with this affordable housing plan As with other goals, programs and policies in this Plan, the City continues to coordinate with other jurisdictional, regional and statewide organizations and agencies through a regular communication process. The goals and strategies also align with the Special Needs Housing and Services section of the City’s 2005 Comprehensive Plan. Expanding and preserving affordable housing opportunities will reduce the housing cost burden of households living in poverty. Therefore, a portion of the disposable income may be used to pursue other educational or career goals, as well as for other daily necessities. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 93 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) SP-80 Monitoring - 91.230 Describe the standards and procedures that the jurisdiction will use to monitor activities carried out in furtherance of the plan and will use to ensure long-term compliance with requirements of the programs involved, including minority business outreach and the comprehensive planning requirements Projects funded by the City are expected to maintain high standards, and the City plans to monitor its CDBG Program throughout the year. Sub-recipients will be informed that failure to comply with contractual requirements and regulations can result in remedial actions and/or the termination of funding. Performance reports will be reviewed by the CAC. Standards and procedures are further outlined below: • City staff will meet with newly funded sub-recipients before and/or during the contract year. Projects will be monitored closely to ensure that sub-recipient staff members have a good understanding of contractual requirements, project and fiscal administration, performance standards, recordkeeping, and reporting. Issues that need clarification will be addressed. • All projects will be monitored. Projects that need guidance in achieving performance measures or adhering to contractual requirements will receive technical assistance, will be required to attend a meeting with City staff, and/or will receive an on-site monitoring visit. • Monitoring concerns/findings will be reviewed with sub-recipient staff and documented in writing. • When applicable, corrective action will be required on a timely basis. Additional time for corrective action may be allowed on a case-by-case basis. • Sub-recipients will be required to provide supporting documentation verifying that deficiencies have been corrected. • Failure to take corrective action could lead to the withholding or loss of funding to a sub- recipient. ---PAGE BREAK--- Consolidated Plan MARYSVILLE 94 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 07/31/2015) Expected Resources AP-15 Expected Resources - 91.420(b), 91.220(c)(1,2) Introduction The Strategic Plan presents the City of Marysville’s priority needs, strategies, and objectives to demonstrate how the City will provide new or improved availability/accessibility, affordability, and sustainability of decent housing, a suitable living environment, and economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income residents.
