Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
The City often uses CDBG funds 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.
The Hamilton Street project leveraged other local funds including from the East Wenatchee
Water District, Douglas County Sewer District, East Wenatchee Stormwater Utility and Douglas
County Sales and Use Tax funds. We typically partner with agencies that have underground
utilities or services when we are working on a street construction project.

CR-25 - Homeless and Other Special Needs 91.220(d, e); 91.320(d, e); 91.520(c)
Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
The City does not directly fund homeless outreach. Outreach is conducted through the work of
organizations that operate in East Wenatchee and Wenatchee providing housing and housing
support programs serving homeless and those at-risk of becoming homeless. East Wenatchee
has no housing programs and relies upon other local agencies.
Elected officials from the City of East Wenatchee are members of the Chelan Douglas Homeless
Housing Task Force. City staff also participate in the meetings. The group is responsible for the
development of the local homeless strategic plan and recommends awards for the distribution
of the Chealn Douglas Counties Homeless Housing fund (RCW 36.22.179 and RCW 36.22.1791),
Consolidated Homeless Grant (CHG), Housing & Essential Needs Grant Funds (HEN) and
Emergency Solutions Grant funds (ESG). The funding is allocated using a competitive grant
application process that is typically on a 2-year cycle. No CDBG funds are expended. Chelan
County is the lead entity for this process.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
In 2021, the cities of East Wenatchee and Wenatchee enacted a new sales and use tax to fund
affordable housing programs including homeless housing and support services. The new
Columbia River Homeless Housing Task Force covers East Wenatchee and Wenatchee. Elected
officials from both Wenatchee and East Wenatchee, as well as, homeless service providers are
members of the task force. Wenatchee is lead entity for this program. During Program Year
2022, East Wenatchee contributed approximately $580,000 of sale and use tax funds to the
task force. The task force has funded the construction and operation of 2 low barrier safe parks
to support homeless persons living in RV’s. The task force has funded the construction and
operation of a low barrier pallet shelter facility. To date shelters have been purchased and site
work is underway. The task force anticipates that this shelter facility will be operational in early
Calendar Year 2024. The task force also provides operational funding for The People’s
Foundation Low Barrier Emergency Shelter. The City of East Wenatchee is not contributing any
CDBG funds to these projects.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
Exhibit A
EXHIBIT A
CAPER 11
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
No East Wenatchee CDBG funds were used, however local Homeless Housing Funding Awards
were allocated for prevention including legal assistance to help a tenant work out a program to
avoid a pending eviction. Funding was awarded to an agency that provides transitional housing
for individuals that have been released from a correctional facility.
Rental assistance programs from various agencies were funded through various sources. The
program helps tenants pay rent up to a maximum of 2 years.
Helping 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 that
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
Homeless Housing Funding Awards were allocated for Rapid Rehousing program. The Rapid
Rehousing serviced include landlord liaison program. Some landlords are hesitant to rent to
individuals or families with poor rental histories. This program allows landlords to sign up to
participate knowing they will have a support system. If there is a problem with the tenant, the
landlord can contact the agency. There is also a mitigation reserve that can pay for damages
over and above the security deposit.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
In 2002, the City of East Wenatchee executed an interlocal governmental cooperation
agreement (ILA) with the Housing Authority of Chelan County and the City of Wenatchee. The
ILA allows the Housing Authority to operate, under limited circumstances, within the city limits.
An East Wenatchee city councilmember serves on that agency’s board of directors. The
Housing Authority operates an apartment complex that includes 35 year-round units for low
income farmworkers.
The Housing Authority also operates the HUD Section 8 Tenant Based Rental Assistance
Program with 693 vouchers. Approximately 107 of the participants in the program reside in
East Wenatchee. They also have 110 Veteran’s Assistance Vouchers (VASH).
The Housing Authority has a range of services to address the needs of their tenants.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
No activities or actions were taken by the city. However, the Housing Authority offers their
tenants and clients a self-sufficiency education program which includes information on
managing money, caring for a home and general life skills.
Actions taken to provide assistance to troubled PHAs
The Housing Authority is not a troubled PHA.

website that provided educational pamphlets regarding lead-based paint hazards to tenants,
contractors, and homeowners regarding lead-based paint. The City also works directly with
each subrecipient to ensure compliance with the regulations regarding lead-based paint.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The Columbia Valley Affordable Homeownership program gives families an opportunity to buy
their home through six core programs: downpayment assistance, revolving loan program,
homeownership counseling, community land trust, eastview & riverview place (affordable
housing developments), and forgiveable loans. Unfortunately, the market value of single-family
homes has increased beyond the capacity for most low-income residents.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
City staff and elected officials actively participate in community efforts to address the needs of
low-income residents. A Councilmember sits on the Housing Aurthority Board. The Mayor, a
Councilmember, and Community Development Director regularly attend meetings of the
Chelan Douglas Local Homeless Housing Task Force. The Task Force serves as a decision-making
body providing oversight, direction, and guidance for the development and implementation of
the Chelan-Douglas Homeless Plan. A Councilmember and the Community Development
Director participate in the Columbia River Homeless Housing Task Force. This task force was
created to provide recommendations in spending a new sales and use tax to fund affordable
housing programs including homeless housing and support services. The Task Force covers East
Wenatchee and Wenatchee. Elected officials from both Wenatchee and East Wenatchee, as
well as, homeless service providers are members of the task force. Wenatchee is lead entity for
this program. The initial focus of the task force is to provide funding for agencies focused on
Exhibit A

providing low barrier shelter services for homeless individuals and individuals living in RV’s or
vehicles. No East Wenatchee CDBG funds are expended.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
City staff regularly attend meetings of the Chelan Douglas Homeless Housing Advisory
Committee. The Committee includes housing and service providers. Representatives are from
the rental association, faith-based organizations, non-profits, state and local agencies. The
Committee concentrated on outreach and communication between service providers and other
public agencies that may be in contact with homeless individuals and families. This group
provides recommendations to the cities, counites, and housing and service providers relative to
actions that will reduce homelessness, encourage rapid re-housing, support and educate
landlords, and provide information to the general public regarding homelessness.
City staff also regularly attend meetings of the Columbia River Homeless Housing Task Force
which works to fund affordable housing programs including homeless housing and support
services. The new Columbia River Homeless Housing Task Force covers East Wenatchee and
Wenatchee. Elected officials from both Wenatchee and East Wenatchee, as well as, homeless
service providers are members of the task force. East Wenatchee does not contribute CDBG
funds to this task force. East Wenatchee does however contribute sales and use taxes received
by the city.
