Description
The Committee reviewed and discuss Year 46 HUD funding.
A
B
A
That
committee
members,
love-robinson
and
Conte
are
here
Kimbrough,
so
we
have
a
full
complement.
It's
not
great,
and
also
present
is
a
mr.
Spencer
in
the
back
and
Michelle
Andre
is
here
also
joining
us,
so
I
just
want
to
mention
that
we
with
regard
to
the
purpose
of
this
meeting,
this
is
for
a
PHA
to
go
over
with
us.
The
draft
budget
and
also
the
results
of
the
public
service
grant
assessments
the
application
process
in
the
grant,
the
evaluation
that
has
gone
on
and
so
we're
going
to
start
with
talking
about
the
a
CDA
budget.
A
A
A
C
D
C
A
D
C
So
the
first
two
pages
are
our
CDBG
budget.
It
looks
probably
familiar
to
most
of
you
from
who
have
been
on
the
committee
since
last
year.
The
top
portion
is
our
full
allocation.
The
three
point,
four
to
one:
we
get
some
funding
back
into
us
from
different
loans
and
things
that
we
make.
The
estimate
on
that
is
90,000.
That's
a
low
estimate,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
go
over
any
of
our
budget
caps
when
we
do
the
full
amount
50.
C
C
Capitalized
Albany
they
they
get
funding
to
do
small
business
technical
assistance
with
businesses
located
in
our
different
focus
areas
around
the
city.
They
also
do
the
Vega
grant
funds
from
us
to
do
the
the
facade
improvement
program
that
funding
they
don't
get
any
kind
of
staff
funding.
Out
of
that
goes
directly
to
the
different
businesses.
I
didn't
mention
you
to
that.
Tv
yeah.
C
Department
of
Youth
and
Workforce
Services,
they
found
programming
in
their
spot
up
at
175,
Central
Ave
and
also
at
the
spot
Senate
on
Clinton
F.
They
use
that
to
to
run
the
different
workforce,
development
programs
and
then
the
city
of
Albany
Police
Department.
They
have
to
actually
new
funded
newly
funded
programs
this
year
out
of
our
funding.
What
is
the
cadet
program
and
the
other
one
is
a
program
called:
do
the
right
thing
where
they
reward
kids
for
doing
the
right
thing,
whether
they're?
C
Not
they
see
somebody
bullying,
somebody
or
that
you
know
in
the
schools,
it's
just
a
reward
system
to,
hopefully
have
kids
start
looking
into
positive
activities
and
positive
things
from
that.
We
go
forward
onto
our
of
different
sub-recipients,
the
Southend
Improvement
Corporation
Albany,
Housing
Coalition
and
Joseph's
house
they're,
all
different
housing
programs
that
are
work
around
the
city
south
and
improvement
Corp.
It's
the
same
on
us
last
year.
C
The
thousand
dollar
emergency
assistance,
repair
program,
Albany
Housing
Coalition-
that
helps
with
their
senior
veterans,
outreach
it's
for
their
the
shelter
that
they
have
for
our
veterans
and
Joseph's
house
is
also
a
SRO
housing.
You
can't
fund
a
sorrows
with
the
homeless
funding
that
you'll
see
the
ESG
funding,
so
we
have
to
fund
that
through
CDBG
SRO.
C
E
C
C
And
then
yeah
you're
correct,
so
the
next
group
of
sub
recipients
are
also
reflected
on
this
document.
Here
we
actually
only
did
not
choose
one
application
for
funding
that
was
in
our
own
voices.
They
basic.
They
were
at
the
end
of
their
three-year
program
cycle
and
they
submitted
an
application
to
us
with
just
a
different
name
and
no
change.
A
C
B
A
So
people
should
know
that
it's
best
to
what
they
advise
people.
You
know
you
have
people
receive
the
award
letters
rather
than
us,
disclosing
that
information,
and
that
way
we
can
know
about
the
know
that
due
process
is
being
followed
and
everybody's
being
treated
equitably
as
far
as
being
notification,
and
you
were.
D
A
E
C
C
C
D
D
B
C
B
C
B
C
B
C
A
B
Experiment
right,
correct,
yes,
I
think
you
don't
might
think
what
that
is.
Is
that
there
are
some
programs
that
really
benefit
the
community,
and
you
know
if
you
know
we
take
a
certain
amount
of
funding
away.
I
think
you
know
that
can
do
the
community
a
disservice.
So
you
know
for
us
to
look
at
the
provision
that
you
know
I
mean
you
have
to
go
two
or
three
years.
Without
you
know
more
hug
funding
after
you
reach
your
three-year
cycle
will
allow
them,
maybe
to
you
know,
increase.
B
B
C
C
C
A
D
E
A
A
End
so
so
we
would
have
an
RFP
make
those
changes
in
the
future,
and
so,
as
far
as
this
goes,
the
there's
been
an
evaluation
process.
Independent
evaluators
have
looked
at
the
applications
and
generally
from
my
training
working
for
the
Empire
State
stem
cell
board
and
and
I'm
going
through
that
RFP
process.
Yet
you
generally
don't.
A
You're,
making
sort
of
overall
programmatic
decisions
about-
let's
emphasize
this
funding,
or
especially
if
there
is
more
applications
than
there
is
funding,
and
you
need
to
be
cutting
back
based
upon
some
sort
of
programmatic
kinds
of
issues
and
determinations.
So
so
my
gut
is
that
we
probably
from
a
legal
standpoint,
do
not
want
to
be
tweaking
or
looking
at
potentially
reducing
any
of
the
ones
that
have
been
approved
for
the
full
amount.
It's
my
point,
which
is
why
I
just
wanted
to
focus
on
those.
C
C
C
So
so
we
can't
fund
them
going
back
to
January
with
program
funds
from
your
46,
but
we
do
have
some
program
funds
from
your
45
that
we
could
use
towards
this
program.
So
in
other
words,
though,
there
are
getting
the
full
60,
but
because
we're
only
talking
about
your
46
funds,
only
the
30
thousands
gonna
show
up
on
the
budget.
C
A
C
C
C
A
A
C
C
They
would
like
to
combine
what
they
have
remaining
from
year,
45
with
this
program
year,
and
they
think
they
can
make
it
work.
If
we,
you
know
they
may
come
to
the
hearing
and
ask
for
more
funding,
and
if
we
can
do
it
we'll
try
to
do
it,
but
that's
it
was
they
started
Lee
and
they
haven't
been.
They
I
just
haven't,
spent
the
funding.
Yet
all
of
its
up
so.
C
B
D
C
B
C
They
have
the
fiscal
year
they're
supposed
to
within
six
months,
they're
supposed
to
voucher
us,
but
the
hard
part
is
that
this
money
never
came
in
until
September
this
year,
so
we're
right
at
that
six-month
point.
You
know
right
now,
so
now
we're
looking
to
see
who
hasn't
pouch
with
us
yet
for
funding
and
we're
going
to
you
know,
touch
base
with
them.
I
think
this
year,
we'll
have
a
better
grasp
on
all
that,
since
the
fundings
in
already-
and
we
know
what's
happening,
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
have
a
better
picture.
Six.
B
C
C
C
C
B
E
C
Property
when
Henry
Johnson
Boulevard
the
park
and
other
areas
we
cleaned
them
up,
the
fifteen
is
to
just
now
we're
at
the
point,
we're
just
monitoring
and
making
sure
that
the
error
and
everything
the
soil
is
still
clean,
and
so
that's
that's
the
amount
we
need
for
that
particular
part
and
then
they're
really.
The
rest
is
our
staff
salaries.
C
C
This
point
yep
and
that
amount
is
in
there
each
year
and
it's
it's
basically
for
if
an
organization
comes
to
us
and
needs
funding,
if
there's
a
particular
neighborhood
type
beautification
program
or
whatever
it
comes,
they
can
come
to
us.
You
would
have
to
take
it
to
our
board
to
be
approved
for
funding
through
the
program.
Nearly
so.
B
D
C
A
A
So
you
know
a
window
sign
or
something
that
is
letting
people
know
that
this
is
a
CDA
money
and
provide
a
telephone
number,
her
name
and
a
telephone
number,
the
poor
somebody
at
the
bottom
of
it,
so
that
people
are
a
more
aware
of
what
does
this
organization
do
and
the
emergency
assistance
stabilization
is
being
used
here.
My
aunt
I
wonder
what
that's
about
my
aunt
is
having
problems
with
flooding
in
her
basement
or
you
know,
broken
windows
or
something
like
that
or
you
know
whatever
it.
You
know
or
heating
problems,
or
something
like
that.
A
So
so
that
is
something
that
I've
encouraged
Fay
to
think
about
is
because
you
can
have
all
these
Flyers
that
we
hand
out
and
program
information,
etc.
But
if
somebody
is
seeing
the
sign
someplace,
they
can
then
focus
on
it
now.
I
want
to
mention
that
I
asked
Fay
about
some
of
the
priorities
that
we
discussed
when
I
was
wearing
my
other
hat
as
chair
of
the
Finance
Committee,
about
where
the
council
might
like
to
see
some
money
spent.
A
For
example,
one
of
my
pet
peeves
is
having
homeowners
pay
for
their
share
of
having
a
street
tree
put
in
front
of
their
house
works
fairly
well
in
my
neighborhood
I
offer
to
contribute,
but
a
lot.
You
know
at
least
50%
of
the
people
who
get
Street
trees
are
paying
that
homeowners
share,
but
some
people
take
advantage
of
my
opportunity
offer
to
go
ahead
and
do
it.
You
need
to
do
the
homeowner
share
to
encourage
more
trees
where
you
have
landlords
or
people
of
low
income.
A
A
A
Be
my
neighborhood
I
mean
there
are
parts
of
my
board
that
would
qualify,
but,
but
so
in
addition
to
your
thinking
in
terms
of
people
in
your
neighborhood
who
maybe
would
want
to
know
about
these
funding,
I'm
just
not
saying
put
on
your
thinking
cap
in
terms
of
what
might
be
done.
One
of
the
questions
I
asked
is
we
used
to
have
like
a
camp
counselor
certain
days
of
the
week
in
certain
parks
and
that
there
might
be
a
park
in
your
ward
in
Joyce's
Ward?
A
A
B
Kind
of
thing,
yeah
that
could
also
see
that
doing
something
to
help.
You
know
to
me
more
communities
that
you
know
such
as
my
warden
councilman
loves
Ward,
to
empower
community
members
to
pick
up
trash
kind
of
you
know
as
such
as
a
block
captain
or
something
like
that
where
they
could
get
a
small
stipend
to
throughout
the
summer
or
something
to
go
around
the
neighborhood
and
you.
D
B
B
C
So
they're
a
lot
more
restrictive
than
our
CDBG
funding,
they're
strictly
to
be
used
for
housing.
No,
no
neighborhood
improvements,
no
organizations
except
for
organizations
that
are
called
Chodos
and
that's
the
community
housing
development
organizations
and
HUD-
requires
that
at
least
15%
of
our
allocation
every
year
be
given
to
be
awarded
to
those
particular
organizations.
They
have
to
go
through
a
certification
process
that
have
depends
on
their
board,
like
a
third
of
their
board,
has
to
be
community
members.
C
You
know
it's
all,
there's
a
lot
of
different
regulations
based
on
it,
a
habitat,
the
Southend
Improvement
Corporation
and
the
Albany
Housing
Coalition
are
the
only
three
Chodos
that
we
have
right
now.
Albany
Housing
Coalition
has
funding
from
us
to
to
do
the
three
they're
doing
three
homes
up
on
Clinton
Avenue,
to
provide
veteran
housing
and
they're
going
to
start
on
that
very
soon,
so
they
didn't
apply
to
us
for
any
additional
funding,
because
they've
they've
got
that
project
and
it
was
enough
for
them.
At
this
point,
habitat
has
some
additional
homes
been
sharing.
C
All
that
we'd
like
to
work
on
in
South
and
Improvement
Corporation.
They
were
in
new
chotto
for
us
last
year,
they're
moving
along
on
the
properties
that
they
use
the
funding,
for
they
don't
have
a
particular
property
identified
right
now,
but
we
did
keep
funding
available
to
them
for
when
they
identify
that
property.
There's
a
lot
of
regulations
based
on
us
being
able
to
commit
funding.
C
We
can't
permit
it
until
we
know
exactly
what
the
address
is,
so
it's
just
held
aside
for
them
for
now,
let's
see,
and
then
we
use
the
funding
again
for
our
bigger
homeowner
rehab
programs
and
our
programs
for
landlords
that
they
rent
to
low
tamati
and
come
individuals.
It's
just
a
another
rehabilitation
program,
and
then
this
H
IP
is
called
a
home
improvement
program.
It's
a
grant
application
for
developers
who
are
applying
for
the
low-income
housing
tax
credit
funds
for
bigger,
affordable
housing
projects
a
lot
of
time,
the
state
when
they
apply
to
that
funding.
C
C
B
C
It's
one
because
they
they
tend
to
ask
for
home
that
you
actually,
they
always
ask
for
like
three
or
four
hundred
thousand
dollars,
but
we
don't
generally
have
that
much
available.
Therefore,
the
bigger
projects
like
when
Livingston's
middle
school
was
turned
into
the
housing.
The
you
know
the
senior
housing
they
came
to
us
for
funding
for
that
housing
visions
when
they
did
Sheridan
home.
You
know
just
kinda.
C
Could
for
a
low-income
housing
tax
credit
program
right?
So
it
would
be
also
it's
kind
of
honestly.
It's
like
a
small
amount
of
funding
for
a
big
impact
because
most
of
the
time
they're
providing
at
least
50
or
more
affordable
housing
units
and
then
the
rest
is
the
other
staff.
They
have
a
small
home.
A
home
has
a
small
amount
of
admin
that
we
can
charge
to
it
and
I
want.
C
Developers
can
apply
for,
but
actually
smaller
developers
can
also
apply
for
our
target
program,
which
is
the
tenant
assistance,
rehabilitation
program,
so
say,
there's
a
a
landlord
or
a
small
developer
that
has
two
or
three
different
houses
in
one
location.
They
can
apply
to
that
funding
from
us
and
be
supported
that
way.
B
C
A
C
A
C
Individuals
or
people
who
are
at
risk
of
being
homeless
and
there's
an
organization
or
an
entity
called
the
COC,
which
is
the
continuum
of
care
and
they
provided
guidance
to
us
and
assistance
to
us
on.
When
how
they'd
like
to
see
the
funding
spent,
whether
it's
spent
more
on
prevention
or
more
on
shelters,
they
always
pretend
to
prefer
that
up.
Most
of
it
goes
towards
shelters,
because
the
county
does
a
lot
of
funding
for
prevention.
A
C
C
So
they
so
they
do
every
year
they
they
monitor
with
our
staff
person.
Quality
organizations
make
sure
they're
spending
the
funding
in
the
way
they're
supposed
to
be,
but
we
really
do
the
best.
We
can
it's
not
a
huge
pot
of
funding
and
it's
it's
I,
don't
know
how
else
to
explain
it.
There's
they
always
ask
for
several
hundred
thousand
dollars
most
of
the
time
so.
C
E
D
E
E
C
B
C
C
Definitely
do
and
then
the
last
few
pages
really
are.
This
is
our
ocean
sea,
as
the
you
know,
non-personnel
costs
that
related
to
the
budgets.
If
you'll
see
that
if,
if
you'll
go
back
to
each
one
of
the
budgets,
the
CDBG
and
then
home-
and
it's
you
know
the
way
we
just
split
it
between
the
different
funding
sources
for
things
in
our
office-
that
you
know
we
need
to
pay
for
in
order
to
keep
the
business
organizations
opens.
