A
Good
afternoon
happy
Tuesday
welcome
to
this
housing,
webinar
I'm
Richard
Tucker,
the
housing
Arlington
coordinator
within
the
housing
division
of
C
PhD.
As
you
know,
the
county
has
continued
to
operate
during
the
koba
nineteen
crisis,
but
one
thing
that's
sort
of
fallen
behind
by
the
wayside
is
our
community
engagement
and
our
contacts
with
the
community.
So
today's
webinar
is
intended
to
provide
some
valuable
information.
Some
updates
about
what's
been
going
on
and
I
look
forward
for
what
what
people
can
expect
in
the
in
the
near
future
so
going
to
hopefully.
A
Okay,
so
our
agenda
for
today
and
I'll
also
introduce
our
other
participants
today.
So
an
venecia
is
our
housing
director
in
C,
PhD
and
Nicole
Harman
is
the
housing
bureau
chief
in
Department
of
Human
Services
they're,
going
to
provide
information
related
to
our
covert
related
housing
and
safety
net
programs
and
then
a
second
part
of
our
program.
Today,
I
will
do
an
update
for
housing,
volunteers,
work
plan,
then
the
third
part
of
our
program
today,
Melissa
danowsky,
a
principal
planner
in
the
housing
division,
will
give
updates
for
affordable
housing
development
projects.
A
You
know
what's
been
happening:
where
are
they
in
the
pipeline?
What
can
you
expect
to
see
next
after
each
of
the
segments
of
our
program
for
today
we're
going
to
have
a
question
and
answer
period
and
I'll?
Give
you
some
more
information
about
that
coming
up
before
we
go
much
further
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
in
the
right
place.
So
if
you
have
specific
questions
about
housing,
assistance,
rental
assistance,
tenant
landlord
issues,
this
meeting
is
not
geared
to
address
those
and
we
won't
be
answering
those
specific
types
of
questions
today.
A
But
I
would
recommend
that
you
look
at
the
county's
website,
a
screenshot
of
which
is
shown
here
which
gives
all
kinds
of
information
about
covert,
19
and
housing
assistance
programs.
You
can
also
call
a
phone
number
703
2
to
8
1300.
If
you
have
some
pressing
questions,
also
at
the
end
of
the
program,
my
email
will
be
listed
and
you
can
contact
me
and
I'll
direct
you
on
to
the
neck,
to
the
best
person
to
or
people
to
respond
to
your
your
pressing
needs.
A
Also
before
we
go
much
further.
I
want
to
call
attention
to
the
the
issue
of
equity
these
past
six
months,
the
first
six
months
of
2020
have
been
very
interesting.
Wouldn't
you
say,
and
so
these
recent
national
events
have
underscored
the
need
to
discuss
and
address
issues
related
to
equity
and
racial
justice.
A
Two
words
that
I've
heard
a
lot
over
the
last
several
months
are
2d
words,
disproportionate
and
disparity,
and
we
need
to
really
address
those
issues.
Those
folks
who
are
most
vulnerable
from
a
health
perspective
and
economic
perspective
have
been
impacted
greatly
in
this
last
six
months
and
we
don't
know
when
the
end
is
coming.
But
you
know
I'm
told
that
the
Chinese
symbol
for
crisis
is
as
a
combination
of
danger
and
opportunity.
A
So
in
these
dangerous
times
we
do
have
an
opportunity
to
turn
the
page
and
and
work
together
in
some
important
ways
along
these
lines.
The
county
introduced
a
racial
equity
framework
last
year
and
that's
something
that
we're
weaving
into
all
of
our
considerations
from
a
budget
perspective
from
a
program
design
perspective,
and
we
ask
these
key
questions
that
are
on
your
screen,
who
benefits
who's
impacted,
who
you
know
who's
left
out?
A
A
We
do
anticipate
taking
your
questions,
then
we
invite
that,
and
so,
if
you
hover
over
your
screen,
you
see
this
icon
with
question
marks.
If
you
click
on
that,
you
can
enter
your
questions
and
we'll
be
addressing
your
questions
at
the
appropriate
time.
By
the
way,
there's
no
need
to
get
your
camera
out
and
take
a
picture
of
anything
that
you
see
on
the
screen
or
screenshot
the
screen.
B
Ok,
great
thanks
Richard
miss
Richard
said
my
name
is
Anne
venecia
I'm,
the
housing
director
for
the
Arlington
County
Housing
division
and
I'll
be
co-presenting
today
with
nicole
harmon,
who
is
the
housing
bureau
chief
for
the
Department
of
Human
Services,
we're
gonna
start
by
providing
an
overview
of
Arlington's,
covered,
related
housing
efforts
and
then
talk
about
fiscal
year.
21
budget
impacts
associated
with
our
housing
programs.
B
So,
starting
with
our
kovat,
related
assistance
efforts,
arlington
is
using
two
approaches
for
dispersing
and
federal
funds
associated
with
kovat
relief
for
the
round.
One
cares
funds:
the
county
received
approximately
1
million
dollars
in
federal,
Community,
Development
Block,
Grant
funds
and
community
services,
Block
Grant
funds,
and
to
administer
the
funds
we're
addressing
immediate
urgent
needs
by
using
feedback
from
community
stakeholder
surveys.
So
what
does
this
mean?
Specifically?
B
This
summer,
we
anticipate
having
somewhere
in
the
range
of
400,000
to
700,000
dollars
available,
and
the
goal
is
to
make
funding
recommendations
by
this
fall.
Okay,
next
slide,
in
addition
to
the
Charis
funds,
the
county
provided
a
robust
set
of
resources
for
tenants
and
landlords
in
order
to
provide
more
information
and
support
them.
During
this
pandemic,
specifically
in
March,
the
County
Board
issued
a
letter
to
Arlington
landlords,
urging
them
to
work
with
tenants
experiencing
hardship
and
provide
relief,
such
as
payment
plans.
B
Whenever
possible,
staff
also
launched
an
information
campaign
that
included
several
elements,
such
as
Flyers,
with
frequently
asked
questions
and
important
phone
numbers
for
emergency
services.
These
fliers
were
emailed
to
all
multifamily
properties
in
the
county
and
we
also
provided
these
fliers
on-site
229
of
those
properties.
We
further
distributed
these
Flyers
through
the
Arlington
Food
Assistance
Center
food
distribution
and
also
provided
them
through
grocery
stores
and
in
neighborhoods.
The
county
also
created
a
public
service
announcement
in
multiple
languages,
with
information
on
how
to
access
emergency
and
safety
net
resources.
B
This
PSA
was
posted
on
Facebook
as
well
as
distributed
through
Arlington
Public
Schools
and
various
safety
net
providers.
The
county
also
provided
several
virtual
tenant
workshops
with
county
board
members
staff
and
nonprofit
service
providers,
answering
questions
and
informing
participants
of
resources
related
to
this
information
campaign.
C
C
Our
program
is
still
continuing
to
qualify
households
that
are
eligible
for
the
program
based
on
income
and
work
hours
prior
to
the
onset
of
the
pandemic.
No
benefits
are
being
disrupted
at
this
time
with
our
assistance
from
a
distance
model
at
the
Department
of
Human
Services,
our
housing
grant
applications
have
been
transferred
to
an
online
application
process
and
continue
to
be.
C
Turning
to
our
federally
funded
Housing
Choice
Voucher
program,
formerly
known
as
section
8,
we've
been
actively
making
adjustments
to
voucher
holders
rental
subsidies
for
participants
that
are
experiencing
a
loss
or
reduction
in
income
which
we
thereby
affect
their
ability
to
pay.
Rent
we've
encouraged
and
we've
done
extensive
outreach
to
our
voucher
holders,
urging
them
to
contact
a
housing
specialist
to
submit
a
change
of
income
form
so
that
we
could
lower
their
households,
rental
contributions.
We've
also
made
change
of
income
forms
available
online,
which
we
continue
to
accept
you.
C
Some
other
adjustments
pertaining
to
the
Housing
Choice
Voucher
program,
as
we've
suspended
the
provision
of
requiring
annual
inspections
of
contracted
properties
to
protect
tenants,
as
well
as
our
inspectors.
During
this
Cove
in
nineteen
crisis,
inspections
of
new
and
vacant
units
still
continue
and
are
being
deployed
through
modified
virtual
methods.
C
As
for
our
permanent
supportive
housing
program,
which
is
for
individuals
and
families
with
disabilities,
we've
been
able
to
take
advantage
of
an
expansion
effort
through
our
state
grant
provided
through
the
Department
of
Behavioral
Health
and
Developmental
Services,
which
is
afforded
us
during
the
onset
of
kovat
19.
Our
ability
to
use
carryover
funding
to
temporarily
shelter
through
hotels
or
shared
housing
homeless,
clients
that
are
on
our
permanent
supportive
waitlist
by
moving
homeless
residents
out
of
congregate,
shelter
and
off
the
street.
C
So
now
here
are
some
other
endeavors
that
the
Department
of
Human
Services,
in
addition
to
county
leadership,
have
done.
We
continue
to
provide
additional
emergency
housing
and
safety
net
support.
Some
examples
of
that
include
we've
contracted
with
FEMA,
where
we've
identified
quarantine,
housing
as
a
backup
for
congregate
care
settings.
Specifically,
the
county
has
contracted
with
two
hotels
in
Arlington
and
we've
secured
99
rooms
for
kovat,
19,
positive,
presumptive,
positive
or
high-risk
individuals.
To
help
minimize
the
exposure
to
healthy
individuals,
we
provided
over
800,000
to
thrive
for
emergency
assistance
to
residents
in
need.
C
This
includes
a
variety
of
evasion.
Prevention,
resources
to
help
pay
for
rent
is
mortgages,
utilities
and
internet
bills
for
households
that
are
needing
this
time.
We've
also
provided
an
additional
$100,000
to
Arlington
food
assistance
center,
otherwise
known
as
a
fact,
which
has
been
very
helpful
in
distributing
food
throughout
the
community
to
households
in
need
for
our
safety
net
nonprofit
providers.
We've
provided
a
one-time,
1.5%
contract
increase
in
FY
24,
those
nonprofits
that
are
working
and
continue
to
work
very
hard
on
the
frontlines
in
our
community.
C
B
Thanks
Nicole,
in
addition
to
housing
and
safety,
net
programs
for
tenants
and
landlords,
the
county
is
offering
two
programs
for
borrowers
of
county
loan
funds.
Arlington
county
is
supporting
single-family
borrowers
by
providing
a
loan,
came
and
forgiveness
option
for
borrowers,
making
amortized
monthly
payments
towards
a
moderate
income,
purchase
assistance
program,
and/or,
a
home
improvement
program
loan,
approximately
a
hundred
loans
told
under
loans,
total
are
eligible
for
this
temporary
forgiveness
and
the
program
is
in
effect
from
May
1st,
through
December
31st
2020,
and
to
give
a
sense
of
the
relief
provided
under
this
program.
B
The
average
my
PAP
payment
is
fifty
seven
dollars
a
month
or
four
hundred
and
fifty
four
dollars
total
for
the
forgiveness
period.
I.
Meanwhile,
for
the
hip
loans,
the
average
monthly
payment
is
two
hundred
and
twenty
seven
dollars
a
month
or
one
thousand
eight
hundred
and
thirteen
dollars
for
the
forgiveness
period.
So
in
all
for
anticipating
the
county
will
forgive
somewhere
in
the
range
of
sixty
four
thousand
to
eighty
thousand
dollars
in
payments.
B
19
multifamily
borrowers
opted
to
participate
in
this
program
and
the
county
anticipates
waiving
approximately
2.3
million
dollars
in
county
loan
payments
in
2020.
As
a
result
of
these
waivers
and
in
return
borrowers
requesting
this
waiver
so
not
evict
tenants
for
code
related
non-payment
of
rent
through
December
31st
2020.
B
Moving
on
to
the
fiscal
year,
twenty
one
covered
related
budget
impacts
as
a
result
of
the
COBE
pandemic.
The
county
adjusted
projections
in
April
and
anticipated
a
fifty
six
million
dollar
revenue
reduction
in
fiscal
year.
21
to
respond
to
this
staff
worked
with
county
leadership
to
quickly
revise
the
county
managers
fiscal
year.
21
proposed
budget
guided
by
preserving
and
even
increasing
direct
services,
including
critical
housing
and
safety
that
needs,
as
well
as
preserving
county
jobs
and
investments
to
aid
in
recovery
efforts.
Specifically,
the
county
opted
to
maintain
housing
and
safety
net
programs
at
fiscal
year.
B
Twenty
levels,
with
some
small
increases,
for
example,
appropriations
for
the
county's,
affordable
housing
investment
fund,
are
maintained
at
fiscal
year,
20
adopted
levels
of
16
million
dollars,
I
mean,
while
housing
grants
and
permanent
supportive
housing
saw
small
increases.
The
county
also
added
a
ten
point:
two
million
dollar
coded
contingent.
That
includes
a
two
point:
seven
million
dollar
contingency
for
housing
and
safety
net
needs
such
as
eviction
help
housing
grants
and
food
assistance
expenses.
B
B
As
with
the
initial
proposed
budget,
staff
was
prompted
to
address
how
equity
considerations
were
demonstrated
through
our
recommendations
by
asking
the
questions
Richard
referenced
earlier,
new
benefits
whose
burdened
who's
missing,
and
how
do
we
know-
and
this
framework
will
continue
to
be
part
of
our
resource
decision-making
going
forward,
despite
kovat
efforts
and
budget
challenges,
we
have
lots
of
projects
and
opportunities
in
the
pipeline,
which
Richard
and
Melissa
will
speak
to
next.
Thanks
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Okay,
we
have
this
opportunity
set
up
to
respond
to
any
questions
that
may
be
out
there
and
I'm
actually
not
seeing
any
questions,
so
people
must
have
absorbed
that
information
and
felt
like
wow,
that's
more
than
I
needed
to
know.
Thank
you
very
much
or
people
haven't
clicked
on
and
given
us
those
questions
just
yet.
A
A
A
C
C
So
I
would
encourage
because
each
household
has
different
circumstances,
but
the
first
stop
answer
to
that
would
be
to
contact
DHS
through
our
extension
1300
number
on
to
703
2
to
8
1300,
sort
of
our
front
door
to
all
variety
of
assistance
needs
which
will
include
rental
assistance.
There
may
be
a
variety
of
programs
that
they
can
qualify
for
I
sort
of
provided
an
overview
of
the
housing
grants
which
will
continue
to
take
applications.
C
It's
an
open
program
if
there
is
temporary
assistance,
either
needed
for
existing
Renteria
ridges,
and
you
know
this
would
be
something
that
we
request
that
you
come
on.
Give
us
a
call
and
we
can
set
up
an
appointment
if
necessary,
but
we
have
some
financial
assistance
funding
that
can
assist
households
to
Ernie.
A
B
Yes
and
so
for
fiscal
year
21,
the
county
board
did
adopt
or
approved
in
its
adopted
budget,
an
appropriation
of
16
million
dollars
for
the
affordable
housing,
Investment
Fund
for
fiscal
year
21,
and
this
is
an
addition
to
the
loan,
repayments
and
developer
contributions
and
other
pieces
that
that
make
up
the
AF
annual
budget.
And
so
hopefully
that
answers
the
question
for
for
the
person
asking
that.
A
C
We
kind
of
I,
don't
have
the
exact
number,
but
I
do
have
the
percentage.
The
last
time
I
looked
was
earlier.
This
month
we've
received
sort
of
an
uptick
of
six
percent
in
our
traditional
housing
grant
applications.
So
we
have
seen
an
increase
since
since
Kovac
pandemic
began
almost
thirteen
weeks
ago,
as
I
mentioned
during
my
power
presentation,
we're
not
disrupting
any
benefits
to
active
participants
that
are
within
the
program,
but
certainly
have
seen
an
up
crease
in
applications
being
submitted
and.
D
A
C
C
Right
now
that
hotel
efforts
on
Brooke
can
can
chime
in
on
this
one.
Since
these
our
hotels
are,
is
continuing
to
run.
So
we
are
we're
still
accepting
referrals
and
assisting
those
that
are
either
kovat
positive.
That
may
need
isolation,
quarantine
measures
through
our
FEMA
hotel
for
the
permanent,
supportive
housing,
temporary
housing
efforts
for
those
on
our
psh
wait
lists
that
endeavor
is
set
for
60
days.
C
So
we've
kicked
that
off
this
month
and
we're
will
see
that
extend
through
August
and
again
that
temporary
measure
is
sort
of
a
bridge
for
those
that
are
wait-listed
for
permanent
supportive
housing
and
will
then
leave
the
temporary
housing
designations
to
enter
their
permanent
housing
that
awaits
for
them
all
right.
Well,.
A
We've
gotten
a
lot
of
questions
rolling
in,
but
we
do
need
to
move
on
we're
going
to
circle
back
on
those
questions.
So
please
stay
with
us.
Let's
get
through
the
next
two
segments
and
get
some
other
questions
on
the
table
and
then
we'll
see
how
close
we
get
to
one
o'clock
before
we
have
to
make
some
hard
decisions
about
how
we're
going
to
communicate
some
more
answers
back
to
folks
so
but
I
move
on
to
the
next
thing,
which
is
the
housing
Arlington
up.
A
They
know
I'll
go
through
this
as
quickly
as
I
can
so
again
get
back
to
the
QA.
Just
for
everyone's
information.
The
housing
Arlington
initiative
was
started
in
2019
generally,
the
goals
are
to
increase
housing
supply
and
identify
new
tools
and
incentives
for
affordable
housing
preservation
and
creation,
really
trying
to
be
creative.
Think
outside
the
box
work
closely
with
the
community
and
outside
entities
to
really
come
up
with
new
ideas
to
to
accomplish
our
goals.
A
We
have
six
sub
initiatives
that
are
listed
on
the
lower
right
of
your
screen
and
we're
working
in
all
of
those
avenues
to
find
some
answers
and
and
implement
new
things
in
addition
to
our
normal
everyday
housing
objectives
that
we
have
some
accomplishments
towards
in
the
last
year.
A
couple
of
zoning
ordinance
amendments
that
are
critical
to
given
the
board
the
flexibility
to
achieve
additional,
affordable
housing
contributions
and
how
about
elder
care
uses
in
various
parts
of
the
county
that
had
not
been
allowed
before.
A
Also,
we've
done
a
number
of
training
engagements
or
under
our
condo
initiative,
under
our
employee
housing
initiative
and
under
our
institutional
partners.
Partnerships
initiative
as
well,
so
a
number
of
things
that
have
been
sort
of
quick
hitters
that
we've
done
in
the
last
year,
and
we
have
some
longer-term
planning
projects
that
we're
going
to
discuss
in
just
a
minute
as
well.
A
Just
to
give
some
background
on
our
community
engagement,
you
know,
kovat
19
has
changed
everything
for
everyone
and
its
really
impacted
our
ability
to
do
community
engagement
going
forward
we're
looking
at
how
we're
going
to
implement
community
engagement.
Since
March
we've
been
working
on
our
our
competencies,
how
do
we
work
with
each
other
in
this
online
environment
and
how
might
we
use
our
tools
to
engage
with
the
community
we've
been
evaluating
our
marquee
work
elements?
What
is
most
important?
What's
the
priority?
A
How
do
we
use
these
virtual
tools
to
implement
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
so?
We've
been
building
our
capacity
to
support
advisory
boards
and
commissions,
some
of
which
are
required
statutorily
to
meet
by
state
code,
and
so
we
have
to
give
them
priority
and
we've
been
working
towards
that.
I
know
that
there's
a
housing,
commission
and
Planning
Commission
meeting
scheduled
for
July
so
we'll
be
starting
with
those
meetings
coming
up
and
we've
been
working
with
the
county
manager's
office
to
set
ours
beyond
that.
A
A
At
the
same
time,
when
we
do
community
engagement,
we
have
to
understand
that
not
everyone
has
internet
access,
so
we
have
to
figure
out
how
to
provide
alternatives.
So
everyone
can
participate
in
these
community
discussions
going
forward
and
as
we
do
these
online
engagements,
how
do
we
make
them
more
robust
and
get
people's
participation
in
new
ways
as
well?
And
then
there
are
some
budget
revisions
that
have
impact
with
our
programs
and
I'll
talk
about
that
very
quickly
very
shortly.
In
next
month,
there's
a
VAE.
A
There
is
a
two
zoning
on
its
amendments
that
are
coming
up.
One
of
them
will
come
forward
to
the
board
and
to
commissions
next
month
in
July,
one
will
be
advertised
for
and
come
forward
in
October.
The
first
one
has
to
do
with
setting
a
cash
contribution,
the
mechanism
to
receive
a
cash
contribution
to
the
affordable
housing
investment
fund.
When
there's
a
neighborhood
forum
based
code
project
that
includes
commercial
uses
that
will
be
coming
forward
in
July
and
it'll,
be
on
the
agenda
for
commissions
and
for
the
board.
A
A
second
item
dealing
with
the
targeted
group
for
homeownership
opportunities
through
the
forum
based
code
development
and
dealing
with
the
income
brackets
that
we
would
want
to
target
that
is
in
need
of
additional
community
review
and
so
those
item.
That
item
will
be
scheduled
for
the
Housing
Commission
next
month
and
other
Commission's
going
forward
and
other
interested
groups
before
the
October
time
frame.
The
missing
middle
study,
which
is
a
major
effort
that
had
been
scheduled
to
begin
this
spring,
has
been
postponed.
A
The
fall
because
of
the
Cova
crisis
and
the
inability
to
meet
the
goals
for
this
study
are
to
increase
housing
supply
and
diversify
the
range
of
housing
stock
that
might
be
available
throughout
the
county.
In
advance
of
the
fall,
kickoff
staff
has
developed
a
research
research
compendium,
which
has
it,
which
is
in
the
form
of
five
bulletins,
the
first
of
which
is
actually
available
now.
So,
if
you
go
to
the
missing
middle
web
page,
you
can
actually
look
at
bulletin
number
one,
which
is
an
overview
that
talks
about
what
is
housing
Arlington?
A
What
is
the
missing
middle
study?
What
are
we
trying
to
accomplish,
and
also
as
an
overview
of
the
remaining
bulletins,
which
will
be
rolled
out
approximately
every
two
weeks
over
the
summer?
So
this
is
your
summer
reading
assignment
and
folks
catch
up
on
a
lot
of
interesting
data
information
about
where
the
housing
gap
is
what's
what's
actually
existing
in
terms
of
missing
middle
types
in
Arlington
Arlington
is
land
use
and
zoning
history,
which
contribute
to
the
current
conditions.
And,
as
we
talked
about
the
question
of
equity,
you
know
there.
A
There
are
some
some
decisions
that
have
been
made
or
not
made
over
the
course
of
time.
Then
it's
led
us
to
the
disparity
in
housing,
choice
in
our
intent
and
that's
sort
of
explored
in
bulletin
two
and
then
and
in
bulletin
four,
and
then
there
are
some
policy
other
policies
that
impact
housing
development
that
we
make
the
connections
on
and
blows
and
frazzle.
A
So
we've
been
studying
them
for
a
number
of
years
now,
for
the
summer,
we're
going
to
continue
to
develop
policy
and
zoning
recommendations
with
the
goal
of
coming
back
out
in
the
fall
and
talking
to
folks
about
that.
We're
also
going
to
take
a
broader
look
within
that
other
areas.
Other
multifamily
areas
around
the
county
that
could
similarly
benefit
from
new
planning
guidance.
A
We're
gonna
be
looking
at
that
and
developing
those
ideas
in
the
summer
and
again
come
out
to
the
fall
in
the
fall
timeframe
and
talk
with
advisory
boards
and
commissions
and
in
the
broader
community
as
well.
There
is
a
zoning
amendment
related
to
to
family
dwellings
and
multi-family
districts
that
will
come
forward
in
the
fall
as
well.
This
amendment
will
address
nonconformity
a
lot
of
times.
A
Some
other
work
highlights
financial
tools,
we're
going
to
do
a
couple
of
reviews
from
the
standpoint
of
the
zoning
ordinance,
one
is
looking
at
the
affordable
housing
awareness,
how
we
actually
receive
our
contributions
for
affordable
housing
investment
fund
and
we're
working
with
the
Arlington
Community
Foundation
arm.
Reviewing
that
also
for
elder
care.
A
There
are
no
provisions
currently
in
the
zoning
ordinance
for
receiving
an
affordable
housing
contribution
when
site
plans
for
elder
care,
like
assisted
living,
nursing
homes,
whatever
come
through
our
processes,
and
so
we
need
to
look
at
adding
something
to
the
ordinance
we'll
be
doing
that
over
the
course
of
the
next
year.
Under
the
condo
initiative,
we
had
four
workshops
plan.
We
accomplished
two
of
them
before
the
crisis
hit,
so
we'll
be
working
with
the
city
of
Alexandria
to
reschedule
them
sometime
in
the
fall
likely.
These
will
be
online
engagements
as
well.
A
Under
our
employee
housing
initiative,
we
have
been
doing
first-time
homebuyer
training,
we're
going
to
be
doing
that
in
the
future.
We
were
doing
them
here
at
the
Bosman
Center
we're
going
to
do
them
in
the
future
online.
Only
and
they'll
be
offered
through
Virginia
Housing,
which
is
formally
known
as
vhda,
and
then
under
institutional
partnerships.
A
We
had
plan
to
do
a
training
cohort
for
houses
of
worship
and
other
nonprofits
who
owned
land
who
would
like
to
contribute
to
the
housing,
development,
affordable,
housing,
development
game,
and
so
we
have
had
some
outreach
with
them,
but
that
training
core
it
will
be
postponed.
Fyi
22
one
last
thing:
we
will
be
doing
putting
out
a
request
for
information
out
on
the
street
to
ask
for
information
from
practitioners,
other
jurisdictions,
nonprofit
housing
developers,
the
whole
gamut.
A
So
we're
going
to
be
putting
this
out
in
the
next
couple
of
months
and
hopefully
get
some
great
responses
that
we
can
act
upon
and
really
reshape
the
things
that
we
do
in
Arlington
to
be
as
as
efficient
and
as
creative
as
we
can
be
as
we
meet
our
community's
challenges
with
that
I'm
gonna
stop
and
take
questions
from
our
audience,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
through
this
quickly
and
get
to
our
next
segment
and
again
I'm.
Gonna
look
and
see
if
we
have
the
questions.
A
Well,
you
know
Minh
about
how
we're
going
to
work
equity
within
our
work.
You
know
we
were.
Interestingly,
we
were
working
on
the
bulletins
for
the
missing
middle
study,
our
research
compendium
and,
as
we
were
doing
that
all
this
stuff
that
we
see
in
our
headlines
and
on
the
news
every
night
has
been
unfolding,
and
so
we
asked
ourselves
the
question.
What's
the
response,
and,
and
so
we've
got
a
fairly
strong,
strongly
worded
statement-
that's
a
part
of
our
house,
our
missing
middle
webpage.
So
we
commend
everyone
to
take.
A
A
look
at
that
I
think
equity
is,
is,
is
so
important
and
so
intertwined,
and
what
we're
saying
the
history
of
housing
development
in
Arlington
is
led
us
to
a
place
where,
if
you're
of
a
certain
income,
there's
only
so
many
places
where
you
can
live,
if
you
can
live
in
Arlington
at
all,
and
we
have
to
examine
you
know
what
were
the
mechanisms
that
were
put
in
place?
What
were
the
rules
and
of
the
road
that
that
have
led
us
to
where
we
are,
and
we
have
a
tremendous
opportunity
to
address
that
going
forward.
A
There's
a
question:
is
there
any
consideration
being
given
to
restoring
the
provision
and
r54
to
family
dwellings?
Well,
in
the
missing
middle
study,
we
will
examine
what
what
the
preferences
are
for
the
committee
in
terms
of
addressing
the
shortage
of
housing
and
the
shortage
of
housing
variety
in
our
single-family
areas,
and
then
we
will
work
towards
you
know
if
that
is,
if
there's
consensus
around
around
what
we
should
be
studying,
we'll
work
towards
the
implementation
tools
to
allow
that
to
happen
now.
Would
we
be
simply
allowing
two
family
dwellings
in
our
five?
A
So
another
question
is
given
that
most
public
engagement
has
been
suspended.
How
will
the
public
provide
input
to
the
missing
middle
materials
being
developed
by
staff
this
summer
great
question,
so
we're
rolling
those
things
out?
The
first
one
is
available
now,
sometime
before
before
the
start
of
the
process
and
after
all
the
the
the
missing
the
bulletins
are
have
been
posted
and
people
have
had
a
chance
to
receive
them.
A
We
will
do
some
engagement
around
the
the
bulletins
themselves,
so
we
will
ask
some
questions
and
ask
people
for
input
and
whether
there
are
some
of
the
questions
or
other
areas
that
we
need
to
study
or
provide
information
on
and
get
people's
reactions
to
the
information
that
is
being
provided
again.
It's
very
in-depth
and
certainly
a
lot
to
chew
on
in
for
the
community.
So
we're
going
to
be
doing
that
before
we
even
start
the
process.
E
E
Okay,
thank
you.
The
apex
is
formerly
known
as
the
Berkeley
and
is
the
development
being
instructed
by
HC
that
will
contain
256
new
construction
committed,
affordable
units
and
those
will
replace
137
existing
units,
and
the
picture
on
the
slide
is
a
current
picture
of
the
construction
status
of
the
8x.
As
you
can
see,
it's
very
near
completion.
E
In
fact,
one
of
the
two
buildings
is
already
we
see
with
the
second
building
to
be
completed
soon,
colpepper
garden,
one
is
a
senior
development
being
renovated
by
Wesley
and
containing
210,
affordable
units
about
188
units
or
90%
have
been
renovated
and
turn
over
due
to
Cogan
19.
There
have
been
some
delay
with
the
remaining
units,
but
the
anticipated
completion
date
for
all
the
units
is
late.
July
thanks.
E
The
karlon
is
another
senior
development
containing
161,
committed,
affordable
units
and
is
currently
being
renovated
by
the
retirement
housing
foundation.
Cobin
19
issues
have
caused
some
delays
here
as
well,
but
renovation
work
continues
and
it's
anticipated.
This
will
be
completed
at
the
end
of
2020.
Next.
E
The
new
Queens
Court
development
being
constructed
by
app',
replaces
39
garden
apartment
units
with
249,
new
construction
and
4
verbal
units,
and
the
picture
on
the
slide
shows
the
current
construction
status.
Construction
is
anticipated
to
be
completed.
The
end
of
2021
and
the
development
also
include
a
public
park
and
playground.
E
E
Thanks
in
the
summer
2019,
the
County
Board
approved
an
eleven
million
County
loan
fund
allocation
to
assist
Wesley
in
the
development
of
97
new
phorbol
units
at
the
cadence,
which
is
located
at
the
former
Red
Cross
site
near
Arlington
Boulevard.
It's
anticipated
that
loan
documents
for
construction
financing
would
be
considered
by
the
County
Board.
This
fall
with
beginning
shortly
thereafter.
E
Next,
our
new
terrace
is
an
existing
77
unit
apartment
community,
located
in
the
Arlington
View
neighborhood
near
Columbia
Pike,
and
the
County
Board
approves
HCS
proposal
to
replace
one
existing
building
containing
30
units
with
77
new
construction
units
to
be
called
Arlington
View
Terrace
East,
the
total
affordable
units
within
the
Arlington
View
Terrace
apartment
community
will
increase
from
77
to
124.
As
a
result
of
this
new
development
financing,
closing
is
anticipated
for
spring
2021,
with
construction
completion
anticipated
for
2023.
E
As
part
of
the
pipeline
updates,
we
wanted
to
provide
you
with
information
about
the
county's
notice
of
funding,
availability
or
NOFA.
The
county
has
released
three
pass
nofas
for
the
creation
and
preservation
of
affordable
housing,
which
has
resulted
in
funding
for
over
700
portable
units.
However,
due
to
projected
limited
available
funds,
staff
have
canceled
the
release
of
a
fiscal
year,
21
Nova.
Instead
staff
will
focus
resources
on
existing
pipeline
developments,
which
I
will
go
over
in
the
next
few
slides.
E
The
first
is
false.
In
the
station,
the
Boston
Station
project
is
located
on
the
site
of
the
central
United
Methodist
Church
site
at
4201
Fairfax
Drive
in
February
2017,
the
county
board
approved
an
approximately
three
million
dollar
ATF
allocation.
Affordable
has
an
investment
fund
allocation
for
the
construction
of
balsa
station.
These.
A
E
Were
later
reallocated
from
the
Boston
Station
Housing
Corporation,
an
app
affiliated
partnership
in
September
2019
and
since
then,
app'
has
entered
into
a
new
LOI
or
letter
of
intent
with
the
central
United
Methodist
Church.
The
details
of
the
LOI
and
affordable
housing
program
are
still
being
worked
out.
It's
anticipated
Apple
will
request
additional
County
little
funds
to
help
finance
this
project
to
be
considered
by
the
county
board.
E
Later
this
year
in
November
2017,
the
County
Board
approves
a
six
million
dollar,
affordable
housing
investment
fund
loan
to
assist
standard
communities
and
foundation
housing
and
acquiring
the
294
unit.
Existing
garden
apartment
community
and
they're
fairly
intend
neighborhood
in
his
perk
charlington
as
part
of
this
loan.
All
units
were
committed
up
to
80
percent
area
median
income,
and
the
loan
term
was
for
three
years,
which
recently
was
extended
to
August.
E
2021
staff
anticipates
the
applicant,
will
file
a
final
site
plan,
submission
soon
and
consistent
with
county
goal,
as
the
project
would
include
long-term,
committed
affordability
of
the
existing
units
to
be
achieved
through
a
combination
of
preservation
and
redevelopment.
It's
anticipated
that
there
would
be
an
additional
kind
of
loan
fund
request
to
help
support
the
Affordable
program
and
there
would
be
a
public
engagement
process
once
the
final
site
plan
has
been
submitted
and,
lastly,
next
slide.
E
Lastly,
the
Crisler
houses
site
plan
was
approved
in
December
2019
and
as
part
of
the
site
plan,
the
developer
agreed
to
convey
that
crystal
house
is
five
parcel
to
the
county.
This
will
allow
future
construction
of
81
or
more
affordable
units,
and
it's
anticipated
and
RFP
to
develop.
Affordable
housing
on
this
site
would
be
released
later
this
year.
So
while
the
fiscal
year
2021
no
feds
would
cancel,
there
are
still
a
few
upcoming
pipeline
project
that
staff
will
be
working
on
for
County
Board
consideration
thanks
and
I'll.
Now,
I'll
turn
it
back
to
Richard.
A
All
right,
you
can
take
some
questions,
and
actually
you
have
a
few
have
already
rolled
in
a
first
question
when
a
calf
or
a
committed,
affordable
project
or
a
mark,
a
market
rate,
affordable
property
is
redeveloped,
is
their
requirement
that
there
is
at
least
a
one
to
one
replacement
of
these
affordable
units.
I
ask
you
that
Melissa
and
I'll
get
an
on
the
hook.
If
I
can
to.
E
I'm
sure,
and
as
related
to
the
requirement
for
at
least
one
to
one
replacement
of
affordable
units
that
would,
of
course
with
the
county
would
strive
for,
and
that
is
what's
being
proposed
as
part
of
the
PARCC
challenging
project.
I
would
say
that
specific
requirements
depends
on
the
type
of
application
that
would
be
submitted
and
what
requirements
are
particular
to
that
area
of
the
county.
A
Okay
next
question:
the
the
pandemic
highlights
housing
crisis
crisis
that
has
long
plagued
Arlington
County.
Where
do
we
go
from
here?
How
to
leverage
this
experience
to
shine
a
light
on
the
need
to
further
invest
in
safe,
affordable
housing
and
I'm?
Going
to
ask
you
to
jump
in
because
we
haven't
heard
from
you
in
a
while
and
maybe
I'll
tag
along
as
well.
B
Sure,
thanks
Richard,
yes,
this
is
this
is
a
really
tough
time
and,
as
the
the
purpose
event
identifies,
we've
been
struggling
in
Arlington
for
awhile
with
housing
affordability.
The
approach
that
the
county
has
taken
historically
is
really
to
approach
housing,
affordability
from
a
multiple
or
multiple
different
angles.
From
a
supply-side
we
do
fund
our
affordable
housing
investment
fund
in
order
to
try
to
bring
more
units
online
that
are
intended
to
be
affordable
in
the
long
term.
This
is
really
helpful
in
particular,
because
a
lot
of
our
housing
grants
participants.
B
Those
households
actually
live
in
these
calves
that
we
are
building
with
using
our
a
have
funds
and
our
federal
funds,
and
so
our
housing
grants
programs
and
permanent
supportive
housing.
Those
are
also
really
critical,
as
I
said,
because
those
provide
a
short-term
support
for
those
households
who
need
again
more
of
a
short
term
assistance
with
rental,
with
rental
help
and
I
think
it's
hi
and
Nicole.
You
can
jump
in
and
help
me
out
here,
but
I
think
it's
as
high
as
90
percent
of
our
housing
grants.
B
Households
live
in
CAF's,
so
live
in
our
community,
affordable
units
so
again
bringing
that
housing
stock
online
really
dovetails
with
supporting
the
households
that
are
receiving
the
rental
assistance
as
well.
So
again,
historically,
we've
sort
of
taken
this
multi
prong
approach,
I
think
going
forward,
particularly
as
we
layer
in
the
Cobie
challenges
and
everything
else
that
the
the
county
and
this
region
is
dealing
with.
B
At
the
moment
the
Amazon
affects
we
have
to
be
even
more
creative
in
terms
of
how
to
extend
our
partnerships
with
the
private
sector,
as
well
as
continuing
our
work
with
the
nonprofit
sector,
to
really
try
to
bring
more
solutions
to
increase
our
supply,
it's
very,
very
complicated,
and
so
we
do
welcome
ideas
if
folks
have
thoughts
from
what
they've
seen
in
other
jurisdictions
that
have
worked
well.
You're
really
open
to
hearing
those
ideas,
and
please
do
share
with
us.
A
B
So
in
the
county
managers
original
proposed
budget
that
that
was
released
at
the
end
of
February,
there
was
a
proposal
to
increase
AF
and
other
housing
programs,
and
once
the
once
we
entered
into
the
cove
addition
and
revenue
reductions
were
realized
for
fiscal
year
21.
We
did
need
to
scale
back
on
some
of
those
anticipated
increases
or
those
proposed
increases.
Rather
so,
specifically
for
a
half,
there
was
a
proposal
to
increase
a
half
by
2.7
million
dollars
going
into
fiscal
year
21
and
the
county
managers.
B
Revised
recommendation
was
to
put
that
2.7
million
dollars
towards
kovetz
specific
contingent
relief,
specifically
for
again
housing
and
safety
net
resources,
which
staff
supports
so
anyway.
So,
yes,
there
was
originally
originally
a
proposal
to
increase
AF
with
the
introduction
of
the
kovat
pandemic,
the
that
was
recalibrated
so
that
that
addition
money
would
instead
be
put
towards
a
critical
safety
net
and
housing
supports
in
the
short
term
associated
with
covin.
A
Here's
a
quick
one:
will
the
park
Shirlington
project,
bring
about
any
new,
affordable
units
or
just
maintain
294.
Our
just
answer
that
one
at
this
point
the
the
applicant
would
be
looking
to
replace
the
294
so
they're
not
proposing
to
increase
the
number
of
affordable
units
just
maintain
that
level.
B
Right
I'd
have
to
look
up
the
exact
numbers:
I
don't
have
those
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
for
the
30%
of
below
we
did
run
some
numbers
back
around
the
start
of
the
calendar
year
and
I
could
pull
that
off.
While
we
go
to
the
next
question
just
to
see
what
that
count
is
its
overall
on
the
committed,
affordable
side,
it's
it's
a
rather
small
portion
of
our
total
portfolio
so
again
for
committed,
affordable.
B
A
A
B
D
B
Housing
division
and
to
try
to
get
ahead
of
this,
we
are
hearing
that
there
might
be
a
possibility
for
a
60-day
extension
for
Ovid
related
conviction,
proceedings
which
would
postpone
some
of
the
activity
more
toward
September
October.
If
that
were
to
happen
again,
we're
keeping
a
very
close
eye
on
that.
In
the
meantime,
in
addition
to
some
of
the
carrots
funds
that
I
mentioned
during
our
presentation,
the
CDBG
and
CSG
that's
going
towards
emergency
rental
assistance.
B
Now,
there's
also
some
state
kara's
funds
that
we
anticipate
receiving
as
early
as
next
week,
and
that
is
approximately
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
That
again
could
help
provide
additional
rent
believe
so
so
we're
going
to
be
and
that
those
funds
will
be
facilitated,
managed
through
DHS
and
then
we're
also
keeping
a
close
eye.
Congress
is
considering
a
hundred
billion
dollar
emergency
rental
assistance
bill
as
part
of
the
heroes
Act.
So
we're
not
sure
when
that
might
move
forward,
if
at
all,
but
again,
staffs
really
closely
tracking.
B
That
and
another
thing
that
we're
doing
is
we're
looking
into
additional
supports
that
could
help
prevent
eviction
in
the
first
place.
So
what
are
the
things
that
tenants
need
in
addition
to
emergency
rental
assistance?
Is
there
an
opportunity,
maybe
to
provide
some
mediation
services
or
legal
aid,
or
something
like
that
really
could
help
again
support
those
communications
between
tenants
and
landlords?
Landlords
need
the
ability
to
pay
their
bills
as
well.
B
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
landlords
are
getting
the
revenue
and
supports
they
need
in
order
to
pay
those
bills,
while
also
maybe
taking
some
of
pressure
off
of
some
of
the
tenants
that
are
experiencing
some
income
loss
as
a
result
of
movin.
And
so
how
can
we
again
facilitate
those
communications
and
figure
out
a
way
for
the
landlord's
to
get
the
payments
that
they
need,
while
also
providing
a
little
bit
of
relief
on
the
tenant
side
as
well?
So.
A
Okay,
there's
a
question
about
crystal
houses
v:
when
is
it
likely
to
be
built
or
is
a
date
to
be
determined,
I'm
going
to
jump
in
and
just
say
that
that
that
is
to
be
determined
right
now,
there's
a
at
this
point.
We
would
at
the
county,
Whitney
to
solicit
and
and
partner
with
a
nonprofit
to
actually
build
the
crystal
house
right
out
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
machination
related
to
that.
A
A
There's
a
question
about
the
moratorium:
that's
in
place
and
I
believe
it's
until
June
28th.
So
that's
the
deadline
at
this
point
and
we'll
see
what
happens
beyond
that
date.
I
have
a
question.
How
long
will
enhance
programs
remain
available
as
the
states
as
the
state
continues
to
open
up?
I?
Guess,
guess:
I'll
ask
that
of
Nicole.
C
Yeah
I
mean
I,
really
don't
have
a
crystal
ball
around.
This
I
think
it's
in
previously
alluded
to
can
we'll
have
to
continue
to
stay
tuned
to
what
may
be
coming
out,
not
only
federal
but
also
state
channels.
The
rebound
effect
from
this
pandemic
is
definitely
going
to
take
some
time,
so,
even
as
restaurants
and
an
employment
begin
to
pick
up
they're
still,
you
know
number
of
households
that
will
continue
to
lag
behind.
A
Have
a
quick
question
in
answer
here:
is
the
housing
Carlington
initiative
going
to
be
executed
diligently
and
the
answer
that
to
that
is
yes,
and
the
only
caveat
is
that
you
know
the
community
engagement
that's
necessary
to
support
whatever
efforts
that
we're
working
on
will
have
to
be
closely
coordinated
to
have
the
community
come
along
with
us
as
we
do
those
things.
I
have
a
question
for
Ann.
It's
a
question
that
and
can't
answer
so
I'm
gonna
give
her
some
cover
before
I.
Ask
it
it's
more
of
a
policy
question.
B
So
yes,
I'd
be
happy
to
to
try
to
address
that
question.
So,
as
I
mentioned
a
few
moments
ago,
the
the
county
historically
has
approached
affordable
housing
for
some
of
our
lower
income,
households
through
a
combination
of
committed,
affordable
units
and
also
our
rental
assistance
programs.
So,
while
in
the
short
term
absolutely
the
county
is
you
know
providing
additional
additional
resources,
additional
money
to
rental
assistance
and
I
mean
to
the
tune
of
millions
of
dollars.
The
county
is
doing
that.
B
Think
if
I
also
mentioned
there
originally
was
a
proposed
increase
to
a
half
for
fiscal
year.
21,
an
additional
2.7
million
and
the
county
did
make
a
decision
to
redirect
that
increase
towards
support
a
more
of
those
emergencies
supports
in
the
short
term,
so
I
think
the
county
is
trying
to
retain
that
balance
and
I
think
doing
both
continuing
to
build
units,
while
also
providing
those
short-term
supports.
B
B
Again
it
just
to
provide
a
little
context
to
that
number
again
to
look
at
historically
how
we
have
approached
housing.
Affordability,
committed,
affordable
units
traditionally
have
been
brought
online
at
more
than
50
or
60%
and
level,
and
then
we've
used
housing
rental
assistance
in
order
to
support
households
that
need
even
deeper
affordability
from
from
that
level.
And
so,
as
a
result,
we
haven't
had
as
many
30%
of
area
median
income
community
for
double
units
brought
online
through
our
more
permanent
supply.
B
But
in
more
recent
years,
we've
actually
seen
an
uptick
in
developers
working
with
county
staff
to
see
how
they
can
bring
more
of
those
30%
of
area,
median
income
units
into
the
portfolio,
and
so
the
42
that
I
mentioned.
That
includes.
Let
me
see
I'm
looking
through
here
about
32
of
those
if
I'm
doing
quick,
head
math
correctly,
they're,
not
even
built
yet
so
the
majority
of
the
ones
that
I
mentioned
of
the
42
they're
they're,
proposed
developments
that
have
basically
been
approved
by
the
county
board
in
the
last
year
or
two.
B
A
B
So
my
PAP
is
the
moderate
income
purchase
assistance
program
and
what
that
is,
is
it's
it's
the
county,
providing
loans
to
households
that
are
trying
to
purchase
their
first
home.
So
these
loans
can
support,
closing
cost
assistance
and
things
of
that
nature,
for
instance,
and
so
the
reason
that
the
wait
list
is
currently
closed
for
that
program
is
because
we
actually
are
looking
to
be
oversubscribed
for
fiscal
year
21,
so
that
that's
a
good
thing.
We
are
anticipating
and
I'm
trying
to
remember
the
exact
count,
but
I
believe
it's
about
somewhere.
B
Six
to
ten
loans,
yeah,
okay,
good
I'm,
getting
some
numbers
from
our
home
ownership
staff
so
holding
for
just
a
second.
But
basically
we
have
some
developments
that
we're
looking
to
bring
online
and
bring
forward
for
County
Board
approval
in
fiscal
year,
21
that
would
include
an
affordable
homeownership
component
and
we're
looking
to
use
some
of
these.
My
PAP
loan
funds
to
support
those
households
that
would
be
eligible
for
those
units,
and
so
that's
why,
for
now
we
want
to
make
sure
that
remaining
my
PAP
funds
are
available
for
those
households.
B
A
Great-
and
you
actually
answered
that
question
and
another
question
with
your
full
and
responsive
answer-
it's
a
great
job,
so
we're
a
little
past
one
o'clock
now,
almost
ten
after
so
we're
going
to
we're,
going
to
call
this
meeting
to
a
close,
we're
going
to
continue
to
answer
your
questions
via
the
chat
feature
so
wool.
So
if
you
stay
around
or
stick
around,
we
can
answer
some
more
and
those
some
answers
have
been
responded.
Some
questions
have
been
responded
to
in
writing
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so
now.
A
This
whole
engagement,
this
whole
event,
will
be
posted
to
the
county's
web
page
likely
tomorrow.
So
you
can
revisit
this
and
also
pass
it
on
to
your
friends.
I
want
to
thank
everyone.
Last
I
saw
there
were
approximately
a
hundred
people
participating
with
this,
and
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
your
your
attention
and
your
participation
I
also
want
to
thank
and
and
Nicole
and
Melissa
and
Brooke,
and
everyone
behind
the
scenes
that
no
one
has
seen
but
they're.
Nonetheless,
there
helping
us
make
this
happen.
