1 Tenants Union of Washington State 5425 B Rainier Avenue South Seattle, WA Admin: Fax: Tenant Hotline: June 27, 2012 Attorney General Rob McKenna Consumer Protection Division 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 MS TB 14 Seattle, WA Dear Mr. McKenna, Tens of thousands of Washington tenants have lost their homes due to foreclosure. In fact, a national study found that 40% of the people living in properties facing foreclosure are renters. There is no way to know how many of those tenants have become homeless, or remain homeless still, as a result of the foreclosure crisis. Renters whose homes are turned over to big banks do not deserve to become victim to the foreclosure crisis. The Tenants Union of Washington State has talked with many of these tenants and heard first-hand that foreclosure threatens many families across the state with the devastating threat of eviction or displacement. For low income tenants and renters facing multiple barriers, any unanticipated moving expense can be the difference between housing and homelessness. No housing issue stands alone. Foreclosure is intricately connected to a broad range of issues that can arise for tenants, including deposit loss from a landlord in arrears, sub-standard housing conditions, discrimination, collections actions, and eviction. To mitigate this complex web of issues, TU tenant counselors provide comprehensive services to address the broad range of issues that threaten housing stability for renters caught in foreclosure. Tenants find empowerment, agency, and dignity as they gain knowledge of their rights and how to use them. The Tenants Union proposes expanding its muchneeded tenant Education Program with a foreclosure-focused division to aid renters caught in foreclosure and equip them with the tools necessary to fight displacement and protect their tenancies from the auto-evictions of the banks. Their story of loss and challenge can become a tool to create engaged leaders working to improve their communities. With a proud 35-year history of work for housing stability through education and outreach, the TU is uniquely well-suited to respond to the challenges faced by tenants living in foreclosed properties. The Tenants Union has experienced staff members, a strong infrastructure, dedicated volunteers, engaged tenant leadership, solid partnerships with community allies, well-crafted analysis, good values, and a long history of victories for Washington tenants. We look forward to the opportunity to partner with the Attorney General to provide information, resources, leadership opportunities, and resources for housing stability to the thousands of tenants impacted by the foreclosure crisis in Washington State. Sincerely, Jonathan Grant, Executive Director

4 IV. PROJECT PROPOSAL A. Project Title Tenant Foreclosure Education Project B. Requested Amount: $722, C. Project summary: In 150 words or less, concisely describe your project and how it meets the criteria set forth in the settlement. This summary will help the Committee review proposals. Attachments and exhibits are not allowed in this section. Over-length summaries will disqualify application. Forty percent of all foreclosed properties are occupied by renters. The Tenants Union s Tenants in Foreclosure Education Project will promote housing stability, prevent homelessness, and mitigate the crisis impacting Washington State renters in foreclosure through tenant education, outreach, and increased access to innovative technological tools. Housing counselors will provide comprehensive, individualized education to low income renters through a statewide hotline, walkin counseling services, and workshops for tenant groups and service providers in regions most affected by the foreclosure crisis. The TU will develop and disseminate extensive multi-lingual materials detailing Washington tenants rights and resources for tenants in foreclosure via our high-traffic website and in-person counseling. The TU s strong 35-year history makes us uniquely well-suited to respond to the challenges faced by tenants living in foreclosed properties. The TU has experienced staff members, longstanding partnerships with social and legal services, and a long history of measurable victories for tenants in Washington. D. Describe how your project meets the criteria set forth in sections I and III above, including estimated start and completion dates. Supporting information and exhibits may be included here. Please try to make your submission as concise as possible. The Tenants in Foreclosure Education Project provides personalized housing counseling services and statewide tenant education for renters caught in foreclosure. Foreclosure threatens housing stability for thousands of Washington State renters, and tenant education is a vital link in a continuum of services that keep people in safe, decent housing. Through personalized tenant counseling sessions, renters are empowered with information on the rights, remedies, and options available to them to promote housing stability in the midst of crisis. The project will also gather information and tenant support to address local foreclosure practices that strip tenants of their rights under foreclosure protection laws. The TU s thriving website, which currently receives 250,000 unique visits from Washington tenants per year, will be optimized to engage tenants from multiple language groups through the use of video, images, social media, and web-based resources for tenants impacted by foreclosure crisis. The project will utilize technological tools to gather and synthesize information on and for impacted tenants and to facilitate communication across language barriers. A report on the impacts of the foreclosure crisis on tenants in Washington State will be researched, developed, published, and distributed through events and outreach. (Version Date: 5/18/2012) APPLICATION FOR FUNDS
5 The project will begin September 2012 with counseling services operational within 4 months; website capability will be expanded by the end of 2014, the report released in 2014, and the project will conclude by September E. Describe the demographics of the consumers you serve. Please provide supporting data or statistics. The TU's mission and values dictate that we prioritize accessibility of information to the low income tenants and underserved communities most affected by foreclosure immigrants and refugees, non-native English speakers, elders, tenants with disabilities, and communities of color. The vast majority of tenants served at the Tenants Union are very or extremely low income (below 50% area median income) and/or people of color, mostly African American, Latino, and East African. We will provide tenant counseling, printed materials, and online resources in multiple languages, prioritizing the most commonly spoken languages spoken in regions with highest need of service. Underserved populations with multiple barriers to accessing information are most at risk of housing loss, discrimination, and homelessness due to foreclosure. See attached for more information on TU demographics. F. Describe the geographic scope of your project. The TU s foreclosure hotline will be advertised and made available to tenants in need statewide. Utilizing strong collaborations with community, social, and legal service organizations across the state, outreach and education efforts will focus on the geographic areas most impacted by the foreclosure crisis, including King, Snohomish, Pierce, Clark, and Spokane counties. The TU will also focus on cultivating connection with organizations serving ethnic or limited English proficient populations in the Puget Sound region and across the state. The TU will strategically cultivate partnerships with organizations serving Washington's rural areas to distribute information on tenants rights in foreclosure and the services available to the broadest possible geographic locations. G. Identify the total number of consumers you expect to serve during the life of this grant. The TU s will advertise the foreclosure hotline across the state in community, legal, and social service organizations with a goal of reaching out to 4,000 tenants. Personalized education services via one-on-one tenant counseling, telephone counseling, or workshops will be provided to 1,000 tenants during the life of the grant. We will conduct a minimum of 12 workshops a year in the target regions. We will recruit 100 tenants who become involved in the larger work of the Tenants Union as members, leaders, or volunteers because of the Tenants in Foreclosure Education Project. In addition, the information developed will be distributed across the state and on the Tenants Union s high-traffic, multilanguage website Utilized by over 250,000 unique Washington tenants per year, the site is the most comprehensive resource in the state for renters with questions about their rights. The TU will directly provide (Version Date: 5/18/2012) APPLICATION FOR FUNDS
6 foreclosure information for renters via our website to over 75,000 tenants in Washington. Overall, the TU project will provide direct information and services to over 80,000 tenants through housing counseling, statewide hotline, workshops, events, and educational materials on the website. H. If this is not a new project, describe what changes are being made to an existing project. Built upon the strong success of the TU s education work and modeled after the successful Renter Foreclosure Resource program of Tenants Together in California, the Tenants in Foreclosure Education Project will create a new arm of the current TU Education Program. The Education Program will expand to dedicate specific staff members to specialize in foreclosure and housing loss mitigation counseling, vastly expand our online resources for tenants caught in foreclosure, and use multiple technological platforms to reach impacted tenants across the state. In addition, the project will grow to become the only education program for renters in foreclosure in the state doing education and outreach statewide. The Tenants Union has a long-established reputation as a source for accurate, compassionate, accessible and useful information to assist tenants in resolving housing problems. After 35 years of service, the TU is the first place most Washington tenants turn when their housing stability is in jeopardy. The Tenants Union has assisted tens of thousands of low-income tenants to solve housing problems and has also successfully organized campaigns to preserve and expand affordable housing, protect tenants rights, and create the Northwest s first tenant-controlled low-income housing. I. Describe how net benefit or positive outcomes can be measured at the end of the project. The Tenants in Foreclosure Education Project will be the centralized statewide source of information and referral for renters in foreclosed properties and renters displaced due to foreclosure. Thousands of tenants will receive individualized tenant counseling and materials regarding their rights under the law, options available to them, legal and social service referrals, and options for maintaining housing stability. Tenants will be given surveys to fill out after being served to determine the level of knowledge they gained, what resources they were made aware of, and the benefit it will provide them. Tenant counselors will also connect tenants with resources to help them find decent, affordable housing in their area after being displaced by foreclosure. The foreclosure information on the Tenants Union s website will remain a long-term essential resource available to the hundreds of thousands of tenants who access it a year. We estimate that over 80,000 tenants will receive specialized information on their rights at foreclosure through the direct education program, educational materials, and website information because of the Tenants in Foreclosure Education Project. The tenants in foreclosure report will be an educational tool to utilize with tenants, media, and the general public. (Version Date: 5/18/2012) APPLICATION FOR FUNDS

11 Tenants Union of Washington State 5425 B Rainier Avenue South Seattle, WA Admin: Fax: Tenant Hotline: TENANTS IN FORECLOSURE FACT SHEET Nationwide foreclosure is one of the biggest factors pushing renters into homelessness and threatening housing stability. An estimated 40% of households facing eviction due to foreclosure are renters and seven million very low income households are at risk of foreclosure (NLIHC, 2009). Estimates predict that over 30,000 foreclosures will occur in Washington State in 2012 alone, displacing more than 12,000 rental households (RealtyTrac.com). Banks and lenders lack an interest in becoming landlords and often have policies to evict current tenants immediately upon taking possession of the property. Even the most responsible tenants are shocked to find eviction notices in their mailbox because the landlord failed the mortgage. Forced to move with minimal notice, tenants often also lose deposit money and last month s rent payments, causing a financial slide that can easily become insurmountable for low income families. In Washington State, tenants face a particular set of additional challenges. Landlord-tenant laws are self-enforced and eviction filings mar tenants records permanently, effectively chilling a tenant from asserting their rights available under current law. National legal groups who perform thousands of evictions a month are trying to systematically deny the few rights afforded to Washington State tenants in foreclosures. TENANTS IN FORECLOSURE EDUCATION PROJECT Tenant education is a vital link in a continuum of services that can keep people stably housed through the crisis of foreclosure. Tenant counseling provides individualized empowerment-based education and assistance to help tenants learn their rights, and gives tenants tools to resolve housing problems and prevent housing loss. Tenant Counselors also serve the crucial role of connecting tenants to the appropriate avenue for legal assistance, when appropriate, and connects tenants to leadership and community-building opportunities. The TU has strong collaborations with legal, social, and community service organizations across the state, forming a network of support for tenants facing housing loss following a foreclosure

17 June 26, 2012 Legal Action Center "A Homelessness Prevention Program" rd Avenue South Seattle, WA Phone: (206) Attorney General of Washington Rob McKenna 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2000 MS TB 14 Seattle, WA Dear Mr. McKenna: The Legal Action Center has been a longtime collaborator with the Tenants Union of Washington State. Because of tremendously high demand for service, we cannot see as many tenants with foreclosure-related questions who have need. The Tenants Union plays a crucial role in both providing invaluable information to tenants living in foreclosed properties and, when appropriate, screening tenants to the proper avenue for legal assistance. Tenants in Washington State live under a special set of circumstances that can damage their ability to get and maintain stable housing, especially when facing an unanticipated eviction notice due to foreclosure. Tenant education is a crucial tool to help close the gaps that exist for renters living in foreclosed properties, who through no fault of their own, face deposit loss, eviction, and possibly homelessness. While Washington does have foreclosure protections laws for tenants, they are untested and difficult for many renters to understand (especially Limited English Proficient tenants and tenants with disabilities). Any unlawful detainer action filed in court against a tenant, even when the tenant ultimately prevails, will remain on their record permanently and significantly impact their ability to rent again in the future. In addition, some very powerful law firms have been challenging tenants' right to access state and local foreclosure protections by denying their status as "bona-fide" tenants. The thousands of tenants in the state living in foreclosed properties desperately need access to information and resources about their rights, and the Tenants Union is well equipped to provide this essential education. Working in partnership with Legal Action Center and other legal services organizations, the Tenants Union of Washington stands to be a resource for tenants across the state who have been impacted by the foreclosure crisis. We encourage you to support full funding for the Tenants Union's foreclosure education project
18 City or Seattle Office of Housing June Washington Attorney General Rob McKenna Consumer Protection Di vision 800 Fifth Avenue Suite 2000 MS TB 14 Seattle. W A Dear Mr. McKenna: The City ofseattle"s Office of Housing would like to express support for the Tenants Union of Washington's appli cation for funds under the AG's foreclosure settlement. The Tenants Union is well-equipped to respond to the needs and concerns specific to the thousands of Washington State tenants impacted by foreclosure. It is in the interests of the City of Seattle to secure infonnational and educational resources to support healthy, stable housing for all residents. Rental housing is the best and at times the onl} option for many Sean lites. especially the lowest income residents. Displacement due to fo reclosure compounds the already-devastating impacts of the economic crisis on low-income residents. Displaced through no fault of their own, tenants li ving in foreclosed properties must overcome multiple barriers. Outreach and education are crucial resources to enable tenants in Seattle and across the state to maintain housing stability. With a long history of tenant education service provision and a strong sense orthe issues most impacting tenants in foreclosure, the Tenants Union is an ideal candidate to provide Washington's residents with the information they need to prevent housing loss. The Tenants Union's foreclosure project aligns with the Office of Housing's goals to prevent homelessness and preserve housing affordable to low income renters. Thank yo u fo r your consideration.
