housing-related non-profits in our community In this issue we are excited to share what some of our other local housing-related non-profits are up to in THE community! We have some groups that are doing great things for citizens. These organizations have ways that you can get involved and give back.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER ANGELA WHITE

I also wanted to share a few things happening in our State that may have an impact on you as they precede.

NAHB Legal Action Funds for Two Washington State Associations At the 2023 National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Spring Leadership Meeting, the Board of Directors approved, at the recommendation of the NAHB Legal Action Committee, to provide financial assistance through the Legal Action Fund to two Washington Associations.

The Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW) received a grant to support its lawsuits challenging building code changes that would prohibit the use of gas furnaces and water heaters in new homes.

The Spokane Home Builders Association also obtained a grant to challenge the city’s new fees. In 2022 the City of Spokane passed a six-month moratorium on home building permits. Then, earlier this year, the city imposed a 300%-400% increase in development fees to end the moratorium.

Washington Housing Affordability Index BIAW has created the Washington Housing Affordability Index. The report builds on the annual NAHBs’ 2023 “Priced Out” report.

The 2023 Priced Out report examined the cost of new homes and found only 27% of the 132.5 million households in the US could afford a new median-priced home at the national average. Homes in Washington average $635,131—more than $200,000 higher than the national average of $425,786.

Roughly 81% of Washington is priced out of buying a new home. For more information visit: www.biaw.com/research-center/ Proposed Wildfire Smoke Safety Rules As Washington braces for wildfire season, the state Dept. of Labor & Industries is holding hearings in July on new rules for wildfire smoke safety in our industry and others. The proposed wildfire smoke rules include specific protections depending on air quality levels. They also require employers to monitor air quality and alert employees when the air is at certain exposure thresholds. BIAW will be weighing in on the proposed rules.

For more information, including in-person and virtual hearing dates visit: www.biaw. com/wildfire-smoke-safety/ If you want to get involved in issues that affect your industry reach out to Jessie Simmons, OMB’s Government Affairs Director, at ga@omb.org today!

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

cultivatING A tight knit BUILDING community I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ISSUE BECAUSE WE GET THE CHANCE TO HIGHLIGHT THREE NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT SUPPORT OUR MISSION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR ALL.

PRESIDENT BECKY RIEGER

It is important for local businesses to give back to the communities that they are in by donating and supporting nonprofits.

Not only does donating and volunteering benefit the nonprofit, but it also benefits the business for choosing to invest in their communities, as well as the members of that community.

Supporting nonprofits as a small business can benefit your company's brand image and can improve your reputation and foster customer trust. Helping local nonprofit

organizations is also a way uphold your corporate social responsibility.

But most importantly, helping charities is a perfect opportunity to engage your employees and inspire your staff. Giving employees the chance to volunteer or support community projects fosters a feeling of purpose and community within your team and workplace.

There are so many reasons to support nonprofits in your community but these three are specifically aligned with WHAT WE DO! Each of the three nonprofits we have chosen to feature support affordable housing and the building community but each in a very unique and special way.

Supporting local nonprofits as a business is beneficial to everyone involved and will help to cultivate an even tighter knit community as a result.

non-profit spotlights Building Hope and Transforming Communities with South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity How you can step up and be a part of building hope and transforming communities this summer:

AS THE SUN shines brightly upon us and the warmth of summer envelops our region, South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity is excited to share some incredible news: WE ARE BUILDING! This summer, we are proud to announce the launch of our newest development, Tâlíčn in Tumwater, which will soon become a haven for approximately 115 individuals and families seeking safe and affordable housing.

Housing is not just a shelter; it is a fundamental human right. Unfortunately, the dream of owning a home remains elusive for many families who struggle to afford decent and secure housing. We are determined to empower more families and individuals to realize their dream of homeownership, unlocking a world of opportunities.

South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity has always been committed to creating long-term, systemic impact in our community. Over the past five years, we have built 26 homes, but now, we are embarking on an even more audacious mission. In the next five years, we have set our sights on building 174 homes—a remarkable 569% increase!

Rebuilding Together: Repairing homes Revitalizing communities Rebuilding lives.

RTTC was founded in 2003 and conducted its first projects in 2004. We are part of a national organization that was founded in the 1970’s.

There are approximately 120 affiliates around the country and each affiliate is self-supporting and responsible for its own operations.

Rebuilding Together Thurston County was founded by the Olympia Master Builders’ Remodeling Council and community leaders in 2003. Since our founding, we have helped over 350 households and 550 people with ADA modifications and vital home repairs free of charge. We provide assistance to low income homeowners who live in Thurston County and are disabled, or 62+, or are military veterans, or are families with young children.

Income and home ownership are verified before services are provided. Skilled volunteers, contractors who provide services at a reduced cost, suppliers who provide material at a discount, and funds from generous donors and grantors enable us to help our neighbors.

At this time we have over 40 homeowners waiting for us to help them.

The three biggest needs we meet are ADA modifications (wheelchair ramps, high profile toilets, and grab bars), safety equipment (smoke and CO2 detectors, motion lights, fire extinguishers, and handrails), and plumbing repairs (faucets, hot water tanks, sink drains, and pipe leaks). Carpentry repairs are also needed for floors and stairs.

46% of the people we serve are 62 or older, 18% are 18 or younger, and 73% are disabled.

18% of the homes we repaired had a veteran or a veteran’s family member living in the home. 30% of our homeowners are male and 70% are female.

Our "typical" homeowner is a disabled single woman (either widowed or never married), 65 years of age, lives in a manufactured home in a park, lives on an income of $1,250 a month, and pays park rent of $650 - leaving just $600 to cover her living expenses.

This $600 is a very small amount of money to cover food, medical expenses, transportation, etc. If there are any "unexpected" expenses or repairs needed, there isn't money to pay for it. Median income for our applicants is just $14,500 a year.

Since the first of the year, we’ve received 30 applications from low income Thurston County homeowners requesting repairs and ADA modifications. In the last six months we have installed a new electrical line for a woman and her terminally ill cousin who had been living without power for weeks after their existing power line had failed; installed a new hot water tank for a widow living on an income of less than $11,000 a year; built a wheelchair ramp and modified a tub to make it a walk-in unit for a disabled veteran; repaired a furnace that had gone into “overdrive” resulting in an indoor temperature of 82 degrees, and painted the home of a disabled veteran who was at risk of being evicted from a manufactured home park due to the home’s poor exterior condition.

HOW CAN YOU HELP??

Be a Rebuilding Day house captain: be a project lead for one of our Rebuilding Day projects on the first Saturday in May. Volunteers and contractors complete repairs on seven homes and house captains coordinate the projects (and have fun).

Provide a discount on material or services: once or twice a year (or more!) provide RTTC with a discount on your professional services.

Install a new hot water heater for one of our low income homeowners and provide your

labor at a discounted price. Work with your supplier(s) to get the project materials at a reduced cost and pass along the savings to RTTC (several roofing contractors have done this over the years).

Provide advice: sometimes we run across a unique problem or situation and need guidance and direction from an expert.

Volunteer as a team on a project: employees from PCI Pest Control, Builders FirstSource, SCJ Alliance, and other companies volunteer as a group on specific projects. Employees (and sometimes their friends and family members) volunteer their skills and time on a project.

Company volunteers have done everything from removing unwanted items to painting; building decks; and installing window screens, grab bars, siding, windows, and flooring. It’s a great team building experience, fun, and very rewarding.

Volunteer on Critical Repair projects: Rebuilding provides repair and ADA services 365 days a year. We always need skilled volunteers who like to individually tackle repairs and ADA modifications. Volunteers select the projects they are interested in, charge project materials on Rebuilding’s accounts, and pick the time and date they want to help the homeowner(s).

Volunteer on group projects: team/group projects are always fun whether you are helping build a new wheelchair ramp, painting, repairing a deck or installing new siding.

Group projects are a great way to meet other volunteers.

Serve on a committee or on our Board of Directors: RTTC has several committees that plan fundraising events, select Rebuilding Day projects, and plan marketing/community outreach. Our Board of Directors meets the third Thursday of the month at 6:00 p.m. and plans and directs our activities. Typically board members volunteer about four to six hours a month but with our fundraising breakfast in March and Rebuilding Day in May, more hours are needed in those months.

Why should you help? Rebuilding Together's ADA modifications and critical repairs enable homeowners to live in safe and healthy homes. Our services allow homeowners to safely age in place in their own home in their familiar neighborhood with their existing support systems, stores, doctors, etc. Our organization prevents homelessness when our repairs make the home safe and "livable". Without our services, people live in untenable situations that are uncomfortable and unsafe. And it’s fun and rewarding!!

Grassroots housing advocates helping to break the cycles of poverty.

Homes First was formed in 1990 by local grassroots housing advocates to help ensure our neighbors would have access to homes in neighborhoods that are safe, healthy, and affordable. We believe strongly that when diverse groups of people live throughout the counties we serve it helps create community and helps us break the cycles of poverty.

How do we do that?

We create and maintain homes by acquiring pre-existing housing and keeping it in the affordable housing market forever.

We support tenants to ensure they get the resources they need to be good neighbors and to stay in their homes.

We build a safer community for everyone by making it possible to have more people in homes and a part of their community.

Since we own and manage 52 properties in Thurston and Mason Coun-

ties with over 300 tenants, we always need skilled and unskilled assistance to maintain them!

Top on our list right now is a small bathroom remodel and dividing up a large room into two smaller rooms and a hallway, in a house we are converting in Tumwater. This large property was donated to Homes First through a partnership with the City of Tumwater and LOTT. We are converting the septic to sewer and then converting the house and garage into

a home for eight women in a clean and sober program. Our goal is to get the work done before the end of October. We'd love to work with OMB members to make that happen!

For more information on the project or our ongoing skilled labor needs, contact Dyana, our Volunteer Coordinator or Keith our Property Manager. volunteer@homesfirst.org or homes@homesfirst.org 360-2360920 x220

Government Affairs builders received some reprieve on the pending implementation of the changes to the 2021 building code Washington State Building Codes Council – After months of work by the Building Industry Association of Washington (BIAW), local organizations, and builders from around the state, builders received some reprieve on the pending implementation of the changes to the 2021 building codes as one last effort was made to appeal to the board’s sense of reason. A motion was ultimately made to postpone implementation of these new changes for 120 days, which would mean the code changes will be delayed until October 29, 2023.

There were a few other factors that impacted the decision including a recent ruling by the 9th circuit Court of Appeals that overturned the City of Berkley’s ban on natural gas appliances and infrastructure based on a preemption clause within the federal Environmental Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA).

However, in the end, it is important to recognize that the work of these combined forces has provided for an opportunity to get this code implementation right.

Two motions were made and passed at the council meeting in May including: PASSED - To start rulemaking for modifying commercial and residential energy codes to reduce risk of 12 • Chalk Line

EPCA preemption – convene TAGs. PASSED - Delay all codes for 120 days from effective date of July 1, 2023, to open emergency rulemaking – this would start June 30.

In the interim, the council will be revisiting the language in the new proposals to ensure that it fits within the preemption parameters of federal law. Olympia Master Builders, alongside BIAW, will remain committed to working toward solutions that will have the least or no negative impact on building.

City of Olympia Parking Reform – In the pursuit of increasing the stock of affordable housing, many communities are finding that one significant barrier has come in the form of socalled minimum parking requirements. A policy that really took hold after WWII and with the boom in suburban living, many jurisdictions across the country set arbitrary minimums for parking in construction projects. These minimums force developers to provide an abundance of parking at virtually zero cost to the city or jurisdiction itself.

These minimums were tied to a variety of reasons. Some cities determined that they needed a space to park for every bassinet in a hospital.

Others required a space for every three holes on a golf course. Still, others required a space for every thousand gallons in a swimming pool.

And what we have been left with is a massive amount of parking space

across the country. In fact, studies show that there are approximately 8 parking spaces for every 1 car in America.

Parking is an issue that intersects a variety of other problems from environmental concerns to efforts around access to services and housing. Yet, most important to our members is the aspect of costs. And parking can be a significant piece of development costs for builders.

Some studies suggest as much as 13% of costs before a shovel even breaks the dirt. Thus, the reasoning behind the efforts to get the City of Olympia to remove their policy of mandated parking and allow for builders (and the market) to drive the construction of parking.

Through consistent efforts by the Government Affairs team at OMB, and a coalition of non-typical industry partners that also included Olympians for People-Oriented Places and the national Parking Reform Network, the council was motivated to pass some major reform to their mandated parking policies.

Though not a complete removal of the mandates, the council passed a modified version of the minimum parking proposal on a vote of 4-2.

It wasn't quite the full elimination of minimums that we were hoping for, but Council member Dani Madrone crafted a compromise that made major improvements (to our current regs) and had enough support to pass.

At OMB, advocacy runs deep. Three levels deep.

Your membership supports not only action at the local level, but at the state and national levels too.

The policy as approved will: • Remove parking minimums for residential units in the Capital Mall Triangle subarea.

• Remove parking minimums within a half mile of frequent transit service (4 stops per hour for at least 12 hours).

• Require all other residential units in the city to have a minimum of 0.5 parking spaces per unit (this is a reduction from the current standards, which vary by housing type).

• Require at least one ADA space for multifamily projects 5-units and up, outside of the downtown area (which has a lot of existing structures and small lots).

• Retain the current parking maximum for multifamily housing (1.5 per unit - this was at the request of Habitat for Humanity, who is building affordable housing on Boulevard Road).

The federal government has awarded the City of Aberdeen $50 million in FEMA funds for the North Shore Levee Project, while the state has also decided to contribute another $17 million. All told, the project has garnered about $78 million in combined federal and state funding.
