Building Communities Fund 2020 Biennial Report — Washington State Department of Commerce
Summary
The Washington State Department of Commerce's Building Communities Fund 2020 Biennial Report to the Legislature, issued under RCW 43.63A.125 and dated December 2020, covers the program that grants 25 percent matching funds to nonprofits for facilities that deliver social or health services and financed by state bonds. The BCF Advisory Board recommends 20 projects for 2021-23 totaling $29,895,556, from $21,000 for Reliable Enterprises to $3,500,000 for the Nisqually Indian Tribe's elders center. The report finds that applications dropped 22% and amounts requested dropped 37% from the previous cycle, which it attributes anecdotally to COVID-19. Commerce plans to add scoring points for projects serving disadvantaged clients and to diversify the board, and it asks legislators to consider lifting the 25 percent cap on the state share. Appendix B lists active projects.

BUILDING COMMUNITY FUND 2020 REPORT 1
Executive Summary
Authority
RCW 43.63A.125 established the Building Communities Fund (BCF) in 2008, directing the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) to administer the program. The program grants 25 percent matching funds to
nonprofit organizations for acquiring, constructing or rehabilitating facilities used for the delivery of social or
health services. It is financed through the sale of state bonds.
Recommended Projects
The BCF Advisory Board recommends 20 projects for consideration by the Governor and the Legislature
totaling $29,895,556. (See Table 1)
Key Findings
COVID-19 Impact
Applications received dropped 22% and amount requested dropped 37% from the previous cycle. Anecdotally,
this is due in large part to the virus and its negative impacts on nonprofit agencies and their capital campaigns.
Underserved Communities
Projects with lower organizational capacity continue to struggle with statutory requirements, particularly
fundraising. Funding technical assistance along with existing projects can help these organizations improve
their ability to successfully complete needed capital projects.

Key Findings
COVID-19 Impact
BCF applications received dropped 22% and amount requested dropped 37%. Anecdotally, this is due in large
part to the virus and its negative impacts on nonprofit agencies and their capital campaigns.
Projects that are currently being planned can also experience significant delays due to restrictions on
construction and take longer to complete.
Underserved Communities
Nonprofits with lower organizational capacity continue to struggle with statutory requirements, particularly
fundraising. To be considered for funding a project must have made progress in raising the non-state share.
The program's enabling statute RCW 43.63A.125 allows up to $3,000,000 to be used for technical assistance if
funded along with the list of projects. Funding technical assistance along with existing projects can help these
organizations improve their ability to successfully complete needed capital projects.
The legislature has recognized the importance of providing BCF grants to "distressed communities for multi-
purpose community centers and social services centers. To develop funding policies, conduct outreach, and
select applications for funding, is working to create a "by and for" advisory committee of people representing
the ethnic, multi-cultural and low-income communities we are seeking to serve.
RCW 49.60.400 (a.k.a. I-200) makes it more difficult to target specific communities. The statute prohibits state
agencies from using “race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin” as the basis for any preferential treatment.
Specifically, subsection (1) provides that "the state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential
treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin in the operation
of public employment, public education, or public contracting."
However, it is the opinion of Commerce's Assistant Attorney General that it can possibly add whether a
proposed project “will serve a substantial number of low-income or disadvantaged persons” as defined by the
federal Small Business Administration as a scoring criteria to assist in evaluation and selection of grants. In
this case, socially disadvantaged is defined as "those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or
cultural bias within American society because of their identities as members of groups and without regard to
their individual qualities."
2020 BUILDING COMMUNITY FUND REPORT 6
Program Next Steps
Scoring Criteria Change
Current BCF scoring criteria includes a bonus if an organization has conducted a fundraising feasibility study..
Commerce will change this by adding points for projects in which at least 40% of service recipients are at or
below 200% of the federal Small Business Administration's Individual Determinations of Social or Economic
Disadvantage. This option is already called out in statute as one of five possible benchmarks for eligibility, but
has not been used as a scoring criteria to date.
Board Expansion and Diversification
Commerce will expand and diversify the BCF Citizens Advisory Board to include the broad demographic of
citizens located around the state. Commerce will engage stakeholders to implement this action.
Recommendations
Examine BCF and potential changes to RCW 43.63A.125
The Building Communities Fund is one of the state’s most targeted programs for helping communities develop
capital facilities that meet the needs of vulnerable or underserved populations. In order to broaden access,
legislators might consider:
Identifying project types and areas that face barriers to program access.
Examine the program and identify the barriers that prevent equitable access. For example, the current
statute restricts the state to providing no more than 25 percent of project costs. Some organizations
struggle to provide the 75 percent nonstate match. Providing discretion to lift this limit on state match
could establish a more inclusive pool of projects.
Expanding Outreach and Technical Assistance
Under resourced organizations may also face challenges in launching and sustaining a capital campaign for
their project. The BCF enabling statute (RCW 43.63A.125) allows Commerce to award up to $3 million in
technical assistance grants. However, the legislature must specifically appropriate technical assistance
funding in the capital budget. Technical assistance funding allows Commerce to help nonprofits with lower
organizational capacity to successfully apply for and manage capital projects

BCF Success Story - Spokane
Partners with Families & Children
Partners with Families & Children (Partners) is a social safety net for
abused and neglected children and is the only agency of its kind in the
Inland Northwest. Their mission is to prevent, interrupt, and repair
cycles of abuse and neglect within families. They provide a variety of
services from evaluation to treatment services for children and
families. Partners’ mental health therapy and substance use disorders
treatment serves parenting adults.
At its core, the model is about teamwork - bringing agency
professionals involved in a case together - and about putting the needs
of the child victim first. So rather than having a child taken from
agency to agency throughout the law enforcement and child protection
system, their Children’s Advocacy Center (CAC) model brings the
system to the child, and brings agency professionals together to work
in a collaborative approach that results in effective, efficient and child-
centered healing.
Partners came to the Building Communities Fund in 2018 need to acquire and renovate a new space to provide their
services and received a grant of $485,000 which was approved by the Governor and the Legislature in the 2019-2021
Capital Budget. The new facility allowed them to double the forensic interview services of the CAC with the addition of
a second interview room, as well as additional capacity for specialized medical exams, mental health treatment,
substance use disorders treatment, and case management services.
“The Building Communities Fund enabled Partners to make the necessary renovations to the newly purchased Taylor
building,” said Carol Plischke, Partners’ Chief Executive Officer. “Partners Board, staff and clients are so thankful to the
Building Communities Fund for making this new space possible.”

BCF Success Story
- Aberdeen
Coastal Community Action Program
In June of 2018 Coastal Community Action Program (CCAP) lost
nearly everything in a devastating fire. Through the support of the
Washington State Department of Commerce and the Building
Communities Fund, they have been able to begin to rebuild their
organization. "BCF funds were crucial to our response and recovery,"
Said CCAP' CEO Craig Dublanko "We would not be where we are today
without the BCF funds, they have been absolutely crucial to our
recovery."
"The staff at the Department of Commerce have been so incredibly
helpful and caring in the way that they have walked us through options
and resources that might be available for us. Commerce staff have
been so vital to us and helped make sure that we had all of the support
necessary to put everything together. The BCF fund has been the
safety net for putting our agency back together."
"CCAP will come back better, stronger and we will serve more in need
than we ever thought possible before the fire. It is hard to say that the
fire was a blessing, but in the long run, thanks to Commerce and the
BCF fund, we will look back at it and say it was truly a hidden
blessing. I can’t imagine where we would be, as a rural Community
Action Agency that lost everything in a fire, without Commerce and the
BCF fund."
2020 BUILDING COMMUNITY FUND REPORT 9
Program Administration
Distressed Communities
The Building Communities Fund (BCF) was established in 2008, replacing the Community Services Facilities
Program established in 1997. This report is submitted to meet the requirements of RCW 43.63A.125
subsections (3) and (4).
BCF directs Commerce to identify qualified community and social service capital projects in distressed areas
of the state and to evaluate and submit a ranked list of these projects to the governor and Legislature. These
facilities must be used to deliver nonresidential community services, such as social service centers and
multipurpose community centers, including those serving a distinct or ethnic population.
A distressed community must include at least one of the following characteristics:
A county that has an unemployment rate that is 20 percent above the state average for the previous
three years
An area within a county that the department determines to be a low-income community, based on the
low-income community designations in the U.S. Department of the Treasury-Community Development
Financial Institutions Fund’s new markets tax credit program
A school district in which at least 50 percent of local elementary students receive free or reduced-price
meals
In addition, RCW 43.63A.125 directs Commerce to:
Establish a competitive process to solicit and evaluate applications from nonprofit organizations
Evaluate applications in consultation with a citizen advisory board using objective criteria
Submit biennially to the governor in the department’s capital budget request a ranked list of the
qualified eligible projects
Submit biennially a summary report that describes the solicitation and evaluation process
Develop and manage contracts as well as monitor project expenditures and grantee performance
Develop accountability and reporting standards for grant recipients; at a minimum, the department must use
the process, including issues encountered and recommendations for improvements listed in RCW
43.63A.125(2)(b) to evaluate the progress of each grant recipient
Submit a biennial report to the appropriate fiscal committees of the Legislature beginning Jan. 1, 2011.
BCF will pay up to 25 percent of the capital cost of qualified projects. The BCF is also allowed to make an
additional award of up to 10 percent of the total granted amount for projects that face “exceptional
circumstances,” as defined in the statute. In addition, if the Legislature appropriates operating funds for BCF,
up to $3 million of those funds can be used for technical assistance grants to interested parties. The BCF is
financed through the sale of state bonds.
2020 BUILDING COMMUNITY FUND REPORT 10
Grantee Eligibility Criteria
In the 2021-2023 cycle, BCF staff reviewed 27 submitted applications to ensure they met eligibility thresholds.
Guidelines stipulate that applicants must:
Be registered in the state as a nonprofit organization
Have a legally constituted board of directors
Agree to enter the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification process or apply
for and receive an exemption
Certify that state prevailing wages will be paid
Have control of the project site through ownership or lease agreement
Submit an executed joint operating agreement if applications are a partnership
After completing a preliminary review to determine eligibility, program staff forwarded 21 applications
to the BCF Advisory Board for review.
Project Eligibility Criteria
To be forwarded to the governor for funding consideration, projects must acquire, construct or rehabilitate a
nonresidential facility used to deliver community services (such as social service and multipurpose community
centers), including those serving a distinct or ethnic population. Projects must also be located in a distressed
community or serve a substantial number of low-income or disadvantaged people.
Projects must meet at least one of the following criteria:
Be located in a distressed county, as defined by the state Employment Security Department
Be located in an area designated as a low-income community in the U.S. Department of the Treasury-
Community Development Financial Institutions Fund’s new markets tax credit program
Be located in a school district in which at least 50 percent of local elementary students receive free or
reduced-price meals
The board used the 10 evaluation benchmarks set forth in statute as a template for evaluating applications. To
be considered for funding, applicants had to demonstrate to the board’s satisfaction that their project met all
of the following 10 criteria:
The project will increase the range, efficiency or quality of the services provided to citizens.
The project will be located in a distressed community or will serve a substantial number of low-income
or disadvantaged people.
The project will offer a diverse set of activities that meet multiple community service objectives. These
objectives can include, but are not limited to, providing social services, expanding employment
opportunities for or increasing the employability of community residents, or offering educational or
recreational opportunities separate from the public school system or private schools as long as
recreation is not the sole purpose of the facility.
The project will reflect a long-term vision shared by residents, businesses, leaders and partners for the
development of the community.
The project will require state funding to accomplish a discrete, usable phase of the project.
The project is ready to proceed and will make timely use of the funds.
The project is sponsored by one or more entities that have the organizational and financial capacity to
fulfill the terms of the grant agreement and maintain the project into the future.
2020 BUILDING COMMUNITY FUND REPORT 11
The project will fill an unmet need for community services.
The project will achieve its stated objectives.
The project is a community priority as shown through tangible commitments of existing or future
assets made to the project by community residents, leaders, businesses and government partners.
Application Solicitation Process
The BCF solicitation process consists of four main elements: email announcements, email listserv, web links
and application workshops.
Commerce assembled an email list of organizations that might have an interest in applying for funding through
BCF, and each received BCF application notices. In cases where umbrella organizations did not release their
proprietary mailing lists to Commerce, each organization agreed to distribute BCF information in its regular
newsletter to members. Participating organizations included:
Community Action Agencies
Association of Washington Cities
Washington State Association of Counties
Nonprofit organizations listed with the Office of the Secretary of State
Commission on African American Affairs
Commission on Hispanic Affairs
Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs
Governor’s Office of Indian Affairs
Indian tribes in Washington state
YMCAs and YWCAs
Boys & Girls Clubs
Existing Commerce mailing lists of community nonprofit organizations (approximately 7,000)
All organizations or individuals who contacted Commerce concerning the BCF program or were referred by the
Office of the Governor, the Office of Financial Management or the Legislature
The BCF webpage on the Commerce website offers information about BCF, including application guidelines,
forms and a link to the online application. For outreach, staff conducted an online application workshop in July,
2020 with 150 people in attendance. The 2021-23 BCF application timetable was extended as long as possible
to accommodate project change made due to COVID-19:
Applications available: May 27, 2020
Online workshop: June 28, 2020
Applications due to Commerce: Aug. 27, 2020
Board Hearings October 6-7, 2020
2020 BUILDING COMMUNITY FUND REPORT 12
Role of the BCF Advisory Board
The BCF statute directs Commerce to develop and administer a competitive grant process. A key component
is reviewing applications in consultation with a citizen advisory board. The BCF Advisory Board, which
Commerce recruited and appointed, consists of volunteers with expertise administering or advocating on
behalf of community nonprofit organizations throughout the state. The board also helps develop program
policy, review applications and recommend projects for the governor and Legislature to review.
The 2021-2023 Advisory Board convened in October 2020 to review and rank applications. The board used the
10 evaluation benchmarks set forth in the statute to evaluate the applications. Project applicants also
participated by making brief project presentations (in person or by teleconference) and responding to
questions posed by the board and program staff.
At the conclusion of the work session, a ranked list of 21 qualified eligible projects totaling $37,404,384 was
approved for submittal to the governor for consideration in the 2019-2021 capital budget. The Legislature will
make the final determination regarding which projects, if any, will be included in the capital budget.
2020 BUILDING COMMUNITY FUND REPORT 13
Appendix A: Managing Capital Appropriations
Overview:
Agencies administering capital budget appropriations must adhere to many state laws, rules, and guidelines.
Many projects must also meet additional state and/or federal statutory requirements. In addition, many
capital budget appropriations require reports to the legislature and other program specific administration. This
document describes only the general requirements for administering a capital budget appropriation

Commerce's Community Capital Facilities
The Community Capital Facilities Unit is a
key ingredient in Commerce's overall
mission to make communities stronger. In
the 2019-21 biennium, the legislature
appropriated over $247 million dollars to
Commerce across the five funds managed
in this program. The program used 14
staff to meet the administrative
requirements of 494 projects. In addition,
staff manages an additional 200 to 400
projects in re-appropriations. Total dollar
value of projects managed by staff in any
one biennium can therefore be $650 to
$850 million dollars.
2020 BUILDING COMMUNITY FUND REPORT 14
Keys to successful projects . . . A few examples demonstrating why
good project administration is essential
Site Control
Project grantees must either own the impacted property or have a long-term lease
A grantee received a direct appropriation to construct a monument on land it did not control. All capital budget
appropriations over $250,000 require the state to maintain a security interest by placing the state on the deed
or creating a leasehold deed of trust. In this project, the grantee did not want to enter into a lease agreement.
Commerce worked with legislative budget staff and OFM to transfer ownership of the project to the local
government that owned the project site.
Executive Order 05-05
All capital construction projects and land acquisition projects require cultural and historic review
A community received a capital budget appropriation to renovate a building. Later, the community decided to
construct a facility next to the planned renovation. This triggered a new requirement to conduct a cultural
resources review with the relevant tribal government. Commerce staff continued to support the renovation
while supporting the new construction with assistance on Governors Executive Order 05-05 Cultural Review.
Growth Management Act (GMA)
Certain state funded projects require the local government to be in compliance under the Growth Management
Act
A local government received a legislative proviso from the Public Works Assistance Account. Staff noticed
that the local government was out of compliance with certain provisions of the Growth Management Act and
coordinated an extension to allow the project to move forward.
Final Considerations
The most common delay of capital budget appropriations is the need to have all non-state funds raised before
the project can even begin. Coordination and consultation with affected tribes is another milestone that can
take time. Early coordination is key.
Each project is in accordance with OFM and Capital budget and accounting requirements. Commerce staff
have extensive professional background in project and contract management and receive annual training to
manage capital budget appropriations efficiently and effectively.
