Centering Residents Equitable Housing BIPOC Partnerships Equitable Employer The Data Anti-Racism Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Our Commitment to Anti-Racism Since 2016, Bellwether has been bringing racial justice to the forefront of our work. Our equity work has included four broad initiatives: 1. Becoming an equitable employer 2. Supporting and partnering with Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) leaders, organizations, and businesses 3. Centering our residents 4. Equitable housing development. A primary element of all these initiatives has been our employee Equity Committee , which was formed in 2016 to lead on some of these initiatives, provide perspective to the leadership team and others, and challenge Bellwether’s existing approaches to each of these things. Members of this committee represent all levels, all departments, and many racial backgrounds within the organization. Anti-Racism Equitable Employer Our Equity Committee has called Bellwether to put significant attention to making sure that our employees, particularly our BIPOC employees, have access to opportunities for growth and advancement within the organization. Education, training, and opportunities for advancement Several years ago, Bellwether established an educational advancement fund that gives employees seeking training or certification for a higher-level position within Bellwether up to $1,500 toward the cost of that training. This is in addition to a $2,000 annual training budget per employee to pay for the cost of any training or education to serve them in their current position. We created a formal compensation philosophy and transparent pay scale, showing the pay ranges for all jobs. We analyzed our compensation practices and fixed pay disparities that reflected racial or gender bias. We stopped asking for and using pay history as the basis for salary offers. We re-evaluated job requirements to eliminate education or experience requirements that were unnecessary barriers for historically marginalized populations. We changed our retirement profit-sharing program, which occurs in years when the organization has an excess of cash flow, from one that was paid out as a percentage of income to one that is equal for all employees, regardless of pay, removing a practice that exacerbated pay disparity within the organization. When the COVID-19 pandemic required front-line workers to be onsite, a majority of whom are BIPOC, we were the first housing organization in Seattle to enact an ongoing daily equity stipend to compensate them. We aggressively invest in benefits for our employees, giving employees at all levels access to great health care benefits and making significant contributions to employee retirement funds. Equitable pay and benefits Bellwether created a staff-driven Equity Committee in 2016. The Equity Committee is made up of employees from many functions within the organization, and its purposes are to: Hold Bellwether leaders accountable to our equity pillars (listed below) Partner with Bellwether’s leadership in building a diverse, inclusive, fair and equitable workplace Enhance employee understanding of Bellwether’s equity commitment and work Serve as a conduit for employees at all levels of the organization to have input into and influence over that work Bellwether’s equity pillars are: Create and operate our housing in a manner that dignifies our residents and gives them access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive Center our residents in everything we do Build a diverse workforce, provide equitable compensation and internal policies, create equitable opportunities for professional development and advancement and promote a workplace culture that respects and celebrates all identities Support and partner with organizations and businesses lead by and/or serving Black, Indigenous and People of Color, persons with disabilities and members of the LGBTQ+ community Equity Committee Equitable Employer Supporting & Partnering with BIPOC Community Leaders, Organizations & Businesses Partnerships Bellwether has built important, new partnerships with BIPOC organizations to build the capacity of those organizations, better serve our residents and communities, and learn new ways to approach our own work. We have raised money to construct two childcare facilities operated by BIPOC organizations (El Centro de la Raza and Empowering Youth and Families Outreach) that serve lower-income children and focus on BIPOC families. We are working with Muslim Housing Services to build their new headquarters and program space in our new Flourish on Rainier development. This partnership is structured to allow MHS to become the owner of this space in 15 years. And we have entered into a joint venture with the Chief Seattle Club to build 200 units of affordable housing prioritized for lower income Native American families and a longhouse to honor Native education and cultural practices, all on the campus of the North Seattle College. Procurement Bellwether strives to hire BIPOC retailers, restaurants, suppliers, and contractors whenever possible. We are working with general contractors to get at least 15% WMBE sub-contractors on every job site. On this project, we aim to achieve 20% WMBE contractors. In 2022, we will hire a full-time procurement specialist who will help us focus on BIPOC suppliers for our building, office, and maintenance supplies. Board Membership Our board members have experience in affordable housing, law, public relations, business management, real estate (including real estate-related services such as property management, development, and finance), and the tech sector. Our board members value lived experience: one board member has experienced homelessness, one board member lived in affordable housing, and another has experience as an immigrant. Currently, Bellwether's 15-member board is 60% women and 34% people of color. Every member of the board has demonstrated a commitment to furthering the mission of affordable housing. Three of our board members' professional careers have been devoted to developing multifamily housing in urban markets. Three members bring professional experience in affordable housing. BIPOC Partnerships Centering Residents At its core, our work is rooted in race and social justice. Nearly 60% of our residents identify as BIPOC. The average income of a Bellwether household is less than 40% of the area median income. One of the pillars of our strategic plan is ensuring that our residents receive the customer service and support they need to thrive in our housing and that they are involved in informing our policies, practices, and developments. We have also worked to rid our organization of unnecessary barriers to housing that perpetuate institutional injustices. Lowering barriers to housing Over the past several years, Bellwether has been making significant changes in its leasing policies and processes to make our housing accessible to as many households as possible. We have changed everything from how we look at criminal backgrounds and debt owed to past landlords to unnecessary or redundant documentation requirements that have historically permeated our sector. Lowering barriers to housing has allowed us to serve more households coming out of homelessness, families and individuals connected with the criminal justice system and other households excluded by typical landlord screening criteria, all of whom are disproportionately BIPOC. We work closely with organizations such as the Housing Connector, LEAD/Reach, King County Vets, Muslim Housing Services and Mary’s Place to successfully house these residents. Today, nearly 30% of new households come out of homelessness or the criminal justice system. Increasing our resident services team As Bellwether has grown, lowered barriers to housing and served more complex populations, the need for our resident services program has increased. This program receives minimal public funding support, yet our resident service coordinators are critical to ensuring residents are stable, children and their families have the support they need to thrive, and our elders and disabled residents have the supports they need to stay healthy and age in place. Bellwether has committed to expanding its fund development capacity so we can expand our resident services program. Centering Residents Equitable Housing Development Prevent Displacement Bellwether launched an aggressive initiative to acquire at least 850 homes in South King County. Bellwether is targeting neighborhoods and buildings that are predominantly occupied by families of color and are highly vulnerable to large rent increases in the coming years, as transit and gentrification arrives in these southern suburbs. Build in Neighborhoods of Opportunity Since 2016, Bellwether has targeted new development in neighborhoods that have incredible access to transit, public services such as libraries, parks and good schools, and allow for strong ties to community supports such as YMCA’s, Boys & Girls Clubs, community centers, health care facilities and food banks. We have developed or are developing in Queen Anne, Roosevelt, the University District, First Hill, Bitterlake and Rainier Beach. House Families While Bellwether’s resident population overall is a majority BIPOC, our larger households with children are nearly 80% families of color. And low-income families have fewer housing options than any other population in Seattle. Since 2016, Bellwether has prioritized the development of 2-, 3- and 4-bedroom units to create as many options as possible for low-income families. Although these units are more challenging to develop and operate, Bellwether believes it is imperative that our community be a place in which lower income families – particularly BIPOC families - can thrive. Nearly 40% of the units we currently have under development are family-sized units. Engage Communities Over the past several years, Bellwether has significantly increased its community engagement activities – both as a new developer entering a community and as an operator of housing once we have become part of a neighborhood. We engage with neighbors, non-profit organizations, churches, schools and businesses that represent neighborhood interests. We invite these community members to understand our mission and inform our plans. We ask them to hold us accountable as a good neighbor. And we engage them as supports for our current and future residents.

< Back Previous Next Rent and Access Packages I’m expecting a package delivery, but I won't be home to receive it. Can the office accept packages for me? Your building's office can receive packages during regular business hours. If you would like staff to accept packages for you, please make complete the Package Agreement Form and give it to your Site Manager. On the form, you can also give permission for staff to place packages inside your unit. Package_Delivery_Agreement Download PDF • 134KB This offer is a courtesy, not a guarantee. Staff may not always be available to sign for and handle your package(s) when carriers deliver due to part-time office hours, non-staffed buildings, performing other duties away from the office, holidays, absences, illnesses or vacations. If you are receiving medication or time sensitive packages, you may want to make other delivery arrangements. My package was delivered to the Site Manager’s office, and the office is closed. Can someone get my package for me? No, your package will not be available until the office reopens. Mail & Package Security We all hate it when packages get stolen! Here are some tips: Create free accounts with USPS, UPS, and FedEx. You can automatically get shipping and delivery notifications by text and email. You can also change delivery dates and locations. Send your packages to Amazon Lockers or other package hubs. Try to get packages delivered when someone is home. (We know this can be easier said than done). Using a tracking service can help. If possible, send deliveries to your workplace. If possible, make arrangements with a friend or neighbor to receive packages for you. DO NOT let strangers into the building. This is the #1 cause of package theft! Do not leave packages in common areas, lobbies, or outside apartment doors if at all possible! (We know it is easier said than done sometimes!). When you make online purchases, give specific delivery instructions. Previous Next

< Back Previous Next Policies Grievance Process Bellwether Resident Concern and Grievance Process Our goal is to provide safe, affordable, and high-quality housing. We strive to make your home just that: “your home.” We recognize that living within a community can bring unexpected issues or concerns involving neighbor relations and expectations. We also understand that residents may not always agree with our policies, conclusions, or our actions. The intent of this process is to contribute to a positive living atmosphere where our residents can express concerns without any fear of retaliation and with the expectation of a prompt, carefully considered response. We welcome and appreciate resident involvement and feedback. Step 1: Attempt to discuss concern with respective parties (staff or neighbor involved, etc.) if appropriate. Disagreements and misunderstandings do occasionally occur. We ask that before the concern becomes too great, you talk directly with the staff member or neighbor involved, as a lot of issues can be resolved this way. We also understand that this is not always an option, or it might not feel safe, in this case please go to the next step. Step 2: If unable to resolve your concern after speaking with the individual(s) involved, or if you are uncomfortable doing so, please complete a Resident Concern Form. • Please provide as much detail as possible. • These forms are available by paper copy at your Site Manager’s office or can be sent electronically by request. • If the Site Manager is the subject of the complaint, please skip to step 4. • If you need assistance with completing the electronic or paper forms, or need translation services, please reach out to either your Site Manager or Resident Services Coordinator for assistance. • If you are unable to locate the form at your building, you can request one by emailing bellwether@bellwetherhousing.org Once the form is complete, you can give it directly to your Site Manager or drop it off in the rent box at the office. Step 3: Your Site Manager will investigate your concern and provide a written response with the outcome within 5 Business Days upon receipt. Please note: • If you submit an anonymous concern, we will not be able to respond or provide updates to you directly. • Bellwether is prohibited from discussing resident issues with anyone other than the lease holder(s) unless we have a Release of Information on file that allows us to speak with that person on your behalf. • We must keep resident information confidential, so although our Site Managers will investigate and address concerns presented between neighbors, we are limited in the details that can be provided in our written responses to your Concern and/or Grievance if it involves another resident. Step 4: If you are dissatisfied with the response from your Site Manager, you can resubmit the same Resident Concern and Grievance Form. Make sure to provide details regarding your attempt to resolve your concern with your Site Manager. Once the form is complete, please email it to bellwether@bellwetherhousing.org with the subject “Grievance” or send by mail to: Bellwether Housing ATTN: Grievance 433 Minor Ave N Seattle, WA 98109 After your Grievance is received, you will receive an Acknowledgement of Receipt. Step 5: The Portfolio Manager responsible for your building will make every effort to promptly respond within 15 Business Days. They will carefully consider the written information you provided and review the situation with any Bellwether staff involved. Please note: the Portfolio Manager will investigate whether the issue was addressed with the Site Manager prior to being escalated to a Grievance. If that step did not occur, you could be redirected back to Site Manager for follow up. After thorough review, the Portfolio Manager will provide a written response to inform you of any actions to be taken in response to your Grievance. Please note: This response will be sent to you via email but if we do not have your email address on file, it will be posted to your door in a closed envelope. Step 6: If all the steps above fail to resolve your Grievance, you may appeal the decision with the Director of Property Management. You can email your letter of appeal to bellwether@bellwetherhousing.org with the subject “Grievance Appeal” or send by mail to: Bellwether Housing ATTN: Director of Property Management 433 Minor Ave N Seattle, WA 98109 Include as much documentation and information that you can with your appeal letter.
