Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
B
In
the
room,
so
we're
gonna
skip
approval
of
our
minutes
and
hopefully
come
back
to
that
when
we
have
an
additional
Housing,
Commission
member
who
joins
us
in
person.
So
we
can
move
on
to
public
comment.
Oh
yeah
public
comments
first
anyway,
so
we're
gonna.
Do
public
comment.
We
have
the
Alice
Hogan
virtually
and
then
we
will
assess
what
we
can
do.
C
Good
evening
Kellen,
can
you
hear
me
okay,
thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
myself
and
take
a
few
minutes
to
or
into
the
organization
where
I
work.
My
name
is
Alice
Hogan
I
know
some
of
you
on
the
commission,
but
I
know:
we've
had
quite
a
few
new
members,
so
I
thought
it
would
be
good
to
reintroduce
myself
and
my
organization
I
live
and
work
in
Arlington
I
grew
up
here.
C
C
Just
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
AHS,
it
is
a
20
year
old,
non-profit
here
in
Arlington
kind
of
like
a
small,
think
tank
or
policy
organization,
and
we
do
policy
advocacy
public
education
around
housing,
issues
that
run
the
the
gamut
of
our
housing
Supply,
so
normally
we're
working
on
affordable
housing
and
particularly
low-income
housing.
But
you
may
have
seen
us
and
heard
us
more
recently
working
on
the
missing
middle
study
effort.
C
We've
been
a
community
partner
with
the
staff
for
the
last
three
or
three
and
a
half
years,
so
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
our
organization
and
tell
you
a
few
things
to
let
you
know
that
we
are
a
free
resource
in
the
community
for
people
looking
to
understand
more
about
different
different
housing
issues,
policies,
best
practices,
things
that
Arlington
May.
C
We
have
a
monthly
newsletter
that
comes
out
online.
We
have
four
different
listservs
that
you
can
join
depending
on
your
interest
level.
We
have
one
about
accessory
dwellings,
missing
middle
housing,
advocacy
and
then
an
overall
housing.
More
generally,
we
do
regular
blogs.
We
have
a
social
media
presence,
of
course,
and
then
we
also
have
annual
events
usually
two
a
year.
C
One
is
kind
of
a
a
learn,
learning
event
in
the
spring
or
fall
called
the
lucky
Forum,
where
we
pick
a
topic
of
Interest
or
something
that
might
be
useful
for
the
community
to
look
at
and
in
2016
we
we
had
a
missing
middle
forum
and
then
two
three
years
later
the
study
began.
So
is
that
kind
of
bringing
ideas
to
the
community
to
try
to
face
the
problems
that
we
that
we
encounter
here
in
our
in
our
community,
so
yeah
I
just
wanted
to.
C
Let
you
know
about
it
and
ask
you
to
take
a
look
at
our
website.
If
you
ever
wanted
more
information
or
to
dig
in
deeper
to
a
topic
that
you
all
are
looking
at
I'm
happy
to
be
a
resource,
it's
allianceforhousingsolutions.org
and
you
may
also
have
heard
of
our
missing
middle
site,
which
we
create
over
the
last
year
or
two
called
missingmiddlearlington.net.
So
I'll
talk
to
you
later
about
budget.
Thank
you.
C
B
You
Alice
so
I
think
that
was
our
last
public
comment
speaker
unless
there's
anyone
in
the
room
who
is
not
speaking
on
an
agenda
item
but
anyone
who's
public
comment
on
items
not
on
the
agenda
tonight.
B
Okay,
so
moving
on
to
approval
of
our
notes
from
our
two
February
meetings,
I
had
a
correction
that
I
discussed
with.
A
B
Before
the
meeting
on
the
missing.
A
B
Notes-
and
that
was
around
the
parking,
so
minimum
parking
requirements
on
the
second
page,
where
it
says
government
ask
for
clarification
on
option.
5C
staff
answered
that
5c
is
his
name
is
5A,
except
that
five
eight
doesn't
have
the
minimum
requirements
for
Transit
approximate
sites.
So
to
change
that
to
accept
that
5A
has
the
minimum
requirements
for
Transit.
D
And
the
only
other
edits
are
page,
numbers
will
be
added
to
it,
and
there
was
also
Karen's
service's
name
was
misspelled
on
the
last
page,
so
that
has
been
directed.
B
Okay,
any
objection,
okay,
they
are
approved.
Thank
you.
So
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
Serato,
so
just
to
give
a
little
setup
for
this
discussion
in
January,
we
had
a
tenant,
provide
public
comment
about
their
experiences
at
the
Serrano
and
concerns
that
they
had
about
the
property.
B
As
a
follow-up,
the
commission
had
sent
a
letter
to
HC
and
I
also
had
an
opportunity
to
meet
with
HC
staff
and
along
with
County
staff,
about
those
concerns,
and
we
had
also
invited
AC
as
well
as
tenants
from
Serrano
and
Advocates
to
come
to
this
meeting
in
March
and
provide
information
about
the
concerns
that.
A
B
Raised
as
well
as
talking
about
the
initial
plans,
at
least
for
rehabilitation
or
Redevelopment
of
the
surround
apartment
buildings,
so
we're
going
to
start
with
a
presentation
from
the
CEO
of
HCA
and
then
after
that
presentation
we'll
have
remarks
from
Advocates
and
tenants
and
then
we'll
have
open
discussion
and
time
for
questions
from
the
Commissioners
as
well.
So
with
that
you
can
start
making
yeah.
So
Alex
is
going
to
do
the
slides.
You
can
go
down
there.
So,
okay.
I
F
See
something
let
me
introduce
myself
again:
I'm
Paul
Bernard
and
I'm.
The
president
and
CEO
of
AC
with
me:
I
have
members
of
our
team,
our
community
relations,
folks,
Jennifer
Indo
and
Roxanna
Hernandez
and
Jennifer
Smith
on
our
Communications
team
and
as
well.
We
have
our
partner
for
property
management.
F
So
I
really
appreciate,
being
here
tonight,
I
think
forums
like
this
are
extremely
important.
The
ability
to
have
conversation
especially
conversation
around
issues
that
are
are
difficult,
so
I
appreciate
being
here
tonight,
appreciate
you
having
me
and
what
I
want
to
do
is
share
a
little
bit.
You
know
with
you,
give
you
an
update
of
where
we
are
within
the
Serrano
Community,
as
well
as
what
some
of
our
plans
are
going
forward.
F
So
what
I've
done
here?
We
have
about
20,
slides
I'm,
going
to
try
to
fly
through
the
first
10
divided
into
three
parts.
First,
is
to
sort
of
sort
of
level
set
sort
of
who
we
are
sort
of
information
around
the
Serrano
and
give
you
just
a
brief
history
of
kind
of
what
in
sort
of
the
Serrano
and
then
what
brings
us
here.
That's
the
second
part.
It
really
is
why
I'm
sitting
in
front
of
you
today
respect
to
a.
J
F
Of
issues
that
I've
written
then,
lastly,
what
I'd
like
to
leave
you
with
are
some
ideas
about
what
we
think
we
want
to
do
with
the
Serrano,
both
in
the
immediate
as
well
as
future.
In
terms
of
so
the
first
slide,
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
all
these
slides
I
just
want
to.
Let
you
know
that
we
consider
ourselves
at
ahc
as
a
full
service,
affordable
housing
solution
for
Arlington,
and
what
that
means
is
you
know?
F
Not
only
do
we
provide
the
the
housing
itself
in
terms
of
units,
but
we
integrate,
you
know,
resident
services.
So
that's
what
we
mean
by
full
service
or
or
affordable
plus,
and
what
you
see
down
at
the
bottom
is
that
we
strive
to
be
resident
centered
and
all
that
we
do
and
just
want
to.
Let
the
group
know
here
those
who
are
listing
in
that
we've
embarked
upon
year-long
strategic
planning
process
really
to
align
ourselves
with
what
it
means
to
be
resident.
F
Centered
next
slide,
please
in
terms
of
our
presidents
in
Arlington,
we've
been
in
Arlington,
for
nearly
most
of
you
know,
for
50
years,
23
properties
in
Arlington
about
3
300
units.
Again,
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
all
these
slides,
you
can
read
the
slides
yourselves,
but
just
in
terms
of
some
notes,
you
know
when
covet
hit,
we
were
able
to
provide
three
million
dollars
in
terms
of
rental
assistance
in
2022
generate
about
6.5
million
dollars
with
respect
to
some
of
our
sort
of
high
school
programs
for
scholarships.
F
We
have
a
number
of
new
projects
in
our
pipeline
that
are
coming
online.
Arlington
view
is
going
to
come
online
pretty
soon
and
unfortunately
we
were.
We
were
given
the
the
go-ahead
to
work
with
Goodwill
on
the
Goodwill
site
to
to
renovate
and
rehab
and
redevelop
in
that
site.
Our
properties.
As
you
all
know,
you
know
it's
more
than
just
housing.
You
know
we
provide
services
as
well.
F
We
were
able
to
do
and
we
still
do
food
distribution
and
multiple
sites,
Financial
counseling
things
in
the
like
next
slide,
please
in
terms
of
the
Serrano
Community
itself,
I'd
like
to
say
that
it's
comprised
primarily
of
Latino
and
black
and
or
African
American
residents,
working
age,
adults
working
in
areas
of
construction
in
retail
and
Hospitality.
We
have
seniors
and
families
and
we
have
connected
families
and
family
networks
living
within
the
Serrano
and
lastly,
the
Serrano
consists
of
sort
of
long-term
residents.
F
You
know
we're
fortunate
to
for
over
close
to
30
percent
of
our
residents
have
been
there
for
over
five
years
next
slide
in
terms
of
the
the
Serrano
in
the
income
designations.
This
is
the
committed,
affordable
units
piece.
We
have
a
total
of
280
units,
10
of
them
are
designated
for
permanent
Supportive
Housing.
Another
56
units
at
60
percent
area,
median
income
or
Ami
or
below
140
units
are
below
80
at
area,
median
income
or
below,
and
then
84
units
are
unrestricted
and
what
unrestricted
means
primarily
is
market
and
for.
J
F
Is
kind
of
a
hundred
percent
affordable
from
an
Ami
perspective,
we
have
strong
tenancy
at
95
occupancy
slime,
giving
you
a
sense
of
the
demographics
with
respect
to
race
and
age,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
left
hand,
side
racially
diverse
in
terms
of
the
community
on
the
right
hand,
side
our
age.
Demographics
are
also
diverse,
mostly
adults
at
55
percent
seniors
at
around
90
percent,
and
then
we
have
youth
at
around
26,
which
also
is
indicative
of
the
fact
that
you
know
it's
a.
F
With
families
big
slide
in
terms
of
I'm,
not
again,
this
is
one
I'm
not
going
to
read
through,
but
I
want
to
just
give
you
some
examples
of
our
resident
services
program.
We
provide
a
variety
of
programs.
First
and
foremost,
we
have
two
full-time
staff
resident
services
staff.
At
the
Serrano
I
mentioned
earlier
that
for
Arlington
we
were
able
to
sort
of
grab
three
billion
dollars
worth
of
rental
assistance
for
the
Serrano.
F
It
was
a
million
of
that
three
million
dollars
for
our
rental
assistance
in
the
Serrano
and,
as
you
can
see,
there
are
a
number
of
other
services
that
we
provide.
You
know
after
Serato
when
it
goes
full-time,
continued
resident
staff
there
next
slide
in
2021.
We
did
not
come
back
to
what
those
results
were.
We
recently
updated
our
our
resident
survey
and
here's
some
of
the
the
results
we
had
a
resident
survey.
We
opened
it
up
in
December,
first
closed
in
January,
6
2023,
and
it's
cut
off
a
little
bit.
F
F
And
so
the
primary
result
was
81
of
the
residents
at
least
two
were
pulled
were
satisfied,
14
were
neutral
and
five
percent
dissatisfied
and.
A
F
Had
sort
of
free
form
responses,
we
just
developed
a
word
cloud
for
what
those
responses
were,
the
the
the
letters
that
are
in
bold
in
larger.
You
know
there
were
more
responses
that
fit
with
in
that
category
category.
Now
last
year
2021
we
did
a
similar
survey.
72
responses,
47
satisfied.
Another.
A
F
F
F
There
were
two
major
fires:
three
years
later
in
2017
and
between
2014
and
2019
we
put
in
in
terms
of
capital
expenditure
about
4.7
million
dollars
for
improvements,
new
roof
boiler,
Chiller
trash
removal,
infrastructure
and
then
in
2019
I,
guess
that's!
When
the
tables
turned
slightly
or
we
received
a
whole
bunch
of
I
would
say
we
were
acute.
Maintenance
and
property
issues
were
first
uncovered.
F
Then
we
have
all
experienced
the
pandemic
and
for
us
with
the
pandemic
meant
as
not
just
for
the
Serrano,
but
any
sort
of
property
that
we
own.
You
know
there
were
some
deferred
maintenance,
except
for
things,
that
of
emergency
nature,
because
we
just
couldn't
get
into
the
properties
and
maintain
safety,
and
we
pivoted
our
services
really
to
focus
in
on
on
things
like
eviction
prevention
and
making
sure
that
people
had
had
their
their
homes.
F
And
then,
lastly,
in
2021
and
2022,
that's
when
the
real
change
started
happening,
we
switched
out
from
managing
the
properties.
You
know
ourselves
to
third-party
party
Property
Management.
There
were
a
number
of
leadership
changes
at
ahc.
The
first
one
was
at
the
board
level,
where
we
incorporated
a
couple
of
slots
for
residents
on
the
board
and
the
second
one
was
more
at
the
Staffing
level.
Where
you
know
there
was.
F
F
In
what
I
gathered
with
respect
to
conversations
from
folks
was
there
was
this
looming
sense
that
either
nothing
had
been
done,
nothing
has
changed
and
matter
of
fact,
conditions
had
deteriorated
at
the
Serrano.
So
what
I'd
like
to
do
now
is
just
take
each
one
of
those
things.
Those
three
bullet
points
in
order
and
just
go
through
sort
of
what
the
issues
were
and
and
what
our
responses
were.
If
you
don't
mind
thanks
a
lot
so
first
water
and
Heat
well,
you
know
what
we,
unfortunately,
this
is
an
old
building.
F
It's
1960s
venue,
it's
it's
inefficient
and
it
has
inefficient
configurations,
and
so
what
is
kind
of
routine
for
newer
buildings
is
not
so
routine
for
for
our
buildings
as
an
example,
if
you
have
to
replace
heaters
or
or
condvectors,
you
think
it'd
be
easy
enough
to
isolate
the
issues
and
isolate
the
problems
and
just
turn
off
a
switch.
F
By
whether
it's
routine
repair
or
emergency,
they
were
shut
off
and
they
were
impacted
by
it.
We
had
in
December
to
February
like
four
major
sort
of
heat
out,
I,
wouldn't
say
major,
but
heat
outages
and
it
affected
seven
seven
Apartments.
They
may
not
have
been
directly
impacted
because
they
had
heat
issues,
but
they
certainly
were
impacted.
F
We
went
to
fix
the
heat
we
had
to
turn
off
the
water
and
we
counted
a
total
of
10
hours,
not
10
hours
straight,
but
over
the
course
of
December
to
to
January
where
people
were
interrupted
and
the
honest
piece
is
when
we
put
the
new
convectors
in.
Sometimes
it's
just
a
matter
of
training
training
residents
on
on
how
to
use
the
new
system,
and
so
we
get
calls.
It
was
just
a
matter
of
going
up
and
helping
folks
understand
how
to
actually
operate
the
system.
F
So
what
we
did
with
respect
to
the
Heath
we
made
heaters
available
in
terms
of
water
repair.
What
we've
tried
to
do
with
the
help
of
Drucker
and
Falk
is
to
make
sure
that
we
schedule
those
repairs
on
Wednesdays
unless
they're
emergencies,
because
on
Wednesdays
it's
more
predictable
and
a
lot
of
folks
aren't
home,
and
then,
if
there
are
water,
shutoffs
and
I
remember
when
I
first
joined
the
company
in
May-
and
we
were
it's
just
a
matter
of-
we
have
two
buildings
at
the
Toronto.
F
If
both
buildings
were
connected,
the
water
systems
were
connected
and
when
we
had
major
issues,
we'd
have
to
cut
off
water
to
all
the
apartments
and
so
I
remember
when
we
first
when
I
first
got
here,
we
put
valves
in
place
so
that
we
could
shut
off
one
building
and
not
have
to
impact
the
other.
When
those
things
happen,
we
try
our
best
in
terms
of
providing
water
for
everyone,
so
that
folks
aren't
without
we
try
to
do
as
best
we
can.
F
With
respect
to
communication,
we'll
get
to
communication
later
on
in
the
in
the
presentation.
So
I
do
believe
that
that's
an
area
where
we
we
need
to
improve-
and
you
know
what
we've
been
trying
to
do
now-
is
just
put
valves
in
place,
so
we're
not
disturbing
a
whole
bunch
of
folks
next
slide
with
respect
to
the
elevators.
We
did
have
a
major
elevator
issue,
starting
around
Thanksgiving
and
probably
ending
in
the
beginning
of
January.
I
would
describe
this
as
a
perfect
storm
during
the
holiday
season.
F
We
talked
to
what
was
the
cause.
Unfortunately,
we
had
a
squirrel.
We
chewed
through
some
conduit
and
and
created
an
electric
shock
which
then
sort
of
fried
the
some
of
the
drives
within
within
our
elevators.
They
just
threw
drives
off.
We
tried
to
bring
them
back
online
and
then
they
go
off
again.
So
in
late
January
it
really
came
to
a
head
where
in
building
39,
both
elevators,
they
they
were
out.
Now
the
issue
when
I
say
the
perfect
storm
is
that
you
know
we
had
it
we
face
like
most
folks.
F
We
were
facing
supply
chain
issues,
Staffing
and
vendor
issues
and
folks,
just
weren't
weren't
around
for
us
to
be
able
to
get
the
you
know
the
the
equipment
that
we
needed
for
the
for
the
repairs,
but
we
were
finally
able
to
sort
of
get
to
the
right
people
at
Otis
Elevator
with
the
help
of
the
Arlington
County
folks,
and
we
got
it
first,
a
replacement
sort
of
drive,
it
wasn't
a
new
one,
a
replacement
Drive
got
one
elevator
going
and
then
by
January
we
were
able
to
get
new
drives
in
what
we
tried
to
do
again
was
have
extensive
communication
with
residents
about
what
was
going
and
when
we
thought
the
elevators
were
going
to
come
back
up.
F
We
did
this
through
door
notices,
emails
and
text
messages,
Property
Management,
especially
when
both
elevators
went
out,
and
that
was
on
Christmas
Eve.
When
both
elevators
went
out,
we
tried
our
best
to
to.
We
put
people
in
place
to
help
assist
folks,
because
this
is
the
eight
floors.
This
is
folks
with
packages
going
up
and
down.
So
we
did
that.
F
A
F
Us
and
then
we
and
then
we
put
together
a
maintenance
program
with
Otis,
so
that
you
know
we
did
two
things
with
those
we
put
together
a
maintenance
program
to
totally
look
at
the
the
overhaul
of
these
elevators
and
we
started
to
put
spare
parts
in
inventory
so
that
when
a
drive
goes
out,
we
don't
we
don't
have
to
worry
about
supply
lines,
supply
chain
issues.
Last
thing
we
did,
it
was
really
just
a
show
of
appreciation
that
our
residents
had
patients
with
us
and
we
provided
fifty
dollar.
You
gift
cards
made
fifty
dollars.
F
This
is
I
think
that,
in
terms
of
communications,
we've
made
a
lot
of
strides,
but
this
is
an
area
where
I
do
know
that
we
we
can
do
better
and
we
I
believe
we
are
doing
better.
What
we've
done
today
is
especially
around
things
like
reporting.
You
know
we,
we
have
a
guide
for.
How
do
you
report
these
shoes?
You
know
through
our
property
management,
folks
messages
of
the
English
as
well
as
Spanish.
F
We
have
a
variety
of
channels,
whether
it's
email
text,
door-to-door
written
notices,
again
English
and
Spanish,
we've
attempted
and
and
I
think
to
with
some
success,
to
open
a
line,
a
direct
line
with
our
Advocates,
with
senior
leadership
over
at
EHC,
we've
taught
and
provided
trauma,
informed
training,
we've.
A
F
Instituted
inclusive
and
diversity,
training
for
site
staff.
When
issues
arise,
we
try
our
best
to
be
as
Swift
as
we
possibly
can
in
terms
of
dealing
with
those
issues.
In
some
instances
we've
had
we've
had
to
make
some
staffing
changes
as
necessary,
and
the
last
thing
I
threw
out
there
is
we
have
in
terms
of
communications
and
customer
service.
We
have
experienced
resident
services
team
in
in
drug
and
fault
there
to
be
of
help
next
slide
so
before
I
cover
the
sort
of
the
immediate
plans
and
the
future
plans.
F
I
want
to
just
give
folks
a
sense
of
what
we've
done
again.
I'm
not
going
to
read
all
the
bullet
points
on
the
the
left-hand
part
of
this
slide,
but
some
of
the
things
that
we've
done
we've
done
when
I
first
got
here.
We
saw
the
conditions
of
a
lot
of
the
balconies
eight
to
16
balconies,
where
we've
either
replaced
them
or
repaired
them
fully
since
November
of
2022.
Up
until
currently
we
have
completed
1184
work
orders,
we
have
a
number
of
15
to
30
work
orders
still
pending.
D
Yeah
next
slide,
and
would
you
mind
holding
for
one
second,
while
we
turn
on
these
four
microphones,
it's
on
the
bottom.
F
Check
to
make
sure
you
hear
me:
okay,
yes,
we're
on
slide
15.
Now
a
continuation
of
some
of
the
things
that
we've
done,
we've
instituted
a
new
practice
and
it's
going
to
be
a
regular
practice
where
we
do
100
inspections
of
of
all
of
our
units
of
all
of
our
communities
and
Toronto
was
the
second
100
inspection
that
that
we've
done.
F
100
inspection
is
it's
both
a
physical
inspection
as
well
as
a
service
Quality
Inspection,
where
you
know
if
residents
are
around,
we
ask
them
how
things
are
going
so
what
we
found
in
100
inspection,
we
just
completed
it
at
the
end
of
last
week,
we
found
that
a
majority
of
the
units
are
in
good
shape.
You
will
see
as
I
get
down
to
some
of
these
other
bullets.
F
There
are
some
units,
especially
on
the
bottom,
that
need
some
some
attention
that
we
believe
the
direct
cause
of
this
is
the
need
to
repair
some
of
the
exhaust
system
to
to
improve
ventilation,
they're
about
20,
to
30
units,
primarily
on
the
bottom
floors,
but
there's
some
moisture
some
staining
some
clubs
and
tile
refinishing
that
we
need
to
do.
F
We
looked
at
issues
around
Pest,
Control
I
realized
that
that
was
an
issue
back
in
2019
and
while
Pest
Control
has
improved,
we
still
believe
you
know
it's
a
focus
for
us,
especially
we've
found
some
hot
spots,
which
we
really
have
to
take
care
of
electrical
electrical
panel
doors.
We
need
to
replace
them
because
that
could
could
cause
more
safety
issue.
There's
still
I
said
we
did
a
100
inspection,
but
there's
still
eight
units
that
we
have
to
to
get
into.
F
We
couldn't
gain
access,
and
you
know
when
we
were
interfacing
and
it
was
it
took
about
two
and
a
half
three
days
for
us
to
do
100
inspection,
but
we
received
a
lot
of
you
know
positive
comments
from
from
residents,
and
the
last
thing
that
you
see
on
this
slide
is
our
renewed
focus
on
Asset
Management,
one
of
my
priorities
as
a
CEO
and
president
of
aec
when
I
came
because
I
knew
I
had
to
tackle,
because
asset
management
is
the
bridge
between
decisions
that
we
make
in
our
property
management,
and
so
you
know
so.
F
F
Plans
in
terms
of
two
of
the
2023
for
the
Serrano
we
have
to,
we
have
to
deal
with
the
cameras
and
the
fob
systems
upgrades
we
want
to
put
in
sort
of
view
children's
play
area
near
the
pool,
try
to
do
pool
deck
resurfacing
and
the
new
cool
furniture
continue
to
work
on
isolating
those
valves
so
that
we
don't
interrupt
numerous
properties.
F
Numerous
units,
you
know
as
we're
doing
these
individual
repairs
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
exhaust
system,
but
in
addition
to
that
duct
cleaning
and
service
for
each
unit,
especially
around
the
bathrooms
in
the
kitchens
and
we're
going
to
stay
on
top
of
these
elevators
they're
old,
with
stay
on
top
of
the
elevators,
we
have
a
maintenance
contract
with
Otis.
F
Now
that
should
help
cover
that,
for
us
repair,
some
of
the
front
doors
front
doors
are
loose
when
you
go
in
repair
the
front
doors
and
continue
to
do
what
we
can
to
keep
the
lines
of
communication.
F
We're
going
to
have
not
only
just
resident
meetings
on
a
regular
basis,
but
you
know
host
resident
events
to
really
reinforce
that
Community
feel
when
you
go
to
Serrano
next
line.
F
In
terms
of
some
of
the
Investments
that
we've
already
made
in
the
Serrano
I've
divided
this
into
maintenance
sort
of
operating
in
capital
expenditure,
so
on
the
the
2022
column,
that's
what
we
actually
spent
472
000
472
000.22.
We
plan
to
spend
504
000
just
for
maintenance
and
repairs
in
in
504
I'm,
sorry
in
a
2023,
504
2023.
With
regard
to
capital
expenditure.
These
are
major
systems.
F
We
spent
1.5
million
dollars
in
2022
and
plan
has
been
sort
of
plus
another
million
2.6
million
in
2023.,
and
you
see
the
bottom
where,
with
the
new
equipment,
it
cost
us
around
112
000
between
December
and
January
next
slide,
so
in
the
immediate
future,
so
that
the
future,
but
it's
an
immediate
future,
the
loan,
the
debt
on
the
Serrano,
is
coming
due
in
2024.
So
the
first
thing
we
have
to
do
is
to
figure
out
ways
to
refinance
that
debt.
F
Hopefully
we
can
eat
we'll,
find
group
good
terms
in
this
Rising
interest
rate
environment,
where
we
won't
have
to
feed
the
property,
but
you
know
we're
out
there
having
conversations
with
a
number
of
financial
partners
for
that
from
a
physical
perspective.
Next
slide
from
a
physical
perspective,
unfortunately,
with
covid
and
with
the
rising
interest
rate
and
inflation
environment,
we
had
to
delay
what
we
thought.
We
were
going
to
be
able
to
do
a
lot
sooner
and
we
knew
buying
the
salon
that
they
were
going
to
be
improvements.
F
And
what
you
see
going
from
left
to
right
are
what
we're
considering
in
terms
of
improvements.
The
option
A
was
the
1A
would
be
just
a
total
renovation.
You
know
of
the
building,
it's
new
systems,
major
systems,
but
no
change
to
the
structure,
just
a
total
sort
of
these
inside
out
kind
of
renovation
and
Rehab
the
option.
1B
is
a
renovation
plus
if
we
could
find
Space
either
on
top
of
the
hill
or
bottom
of
the
hill
to
bring
some
new
units.
F
That's
what
we
would
do,
then
we
move
into
something
that
could
be
a
combination
where
it's
a
combination
of
renovation
and
new,
build
where
you
might
take
down
one
of
the
buildings
and
build
it
just
total,
a
total
sort
of
rebuild
of
that
building
or
a
full
rebuild
where
you
demolish
both
buildings
and
then
and
build
new.
All
this
would
be
phased
and
everything
you
know
appropriate
next
slide.
F
So
here
are
the
considerations
in
terms
of
what
we're
going
to
do.
You
hear
our
actions.
Clearly
you're
dealing
with
you
know,
sort
of
rising
construction
costs.
They
probably
stabilize
right
about
now,
and
some
costs
are
going
down
with
interest
rates
in
the
interest
rates
are
going
up
and
the
economic
climate
is
not.
F
Better,
whatever
it
is,
we
do
we're
going
to
have
to
be
able
to
be
able
to
get
there
as
well
as
cover
our
existing
debt.
We've
already
been
in
conversations
with
a
number
of
financial,
as
well
as
development,
Partners,
probably
four
or
five,
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
talk
to
folks
narrow
that
list
down
to
perhaps
Partners
we
might
want
to
go
forward
with
before
we
do
anything
we
want
to
have
reach
out
to
the
community.
F
One
make
sure
that
sort
of
to
to
gather
interest
and
preference,
but
also
make
sure
the
community
knows
what
we're
doing
in
each
step
of
the
way.
And
then
all
this
is
going
to
happen
in
tandem
with
the
refund
next
slide.
F
Okay,
so
I'm
at
the
end
of
this
here,
I
want
to
leave
this
up
for
a
second
to
to.
Let
you
see
what
we
want.
Our
commitments
to
be
to
becoming
more
resident,
centered
or
resident
Centric
I
would
just
highlight.
What's
really
important
to
me,
is
probably
that
middle
bullet
that
talks
about
building
community
and
raising
resident
voice,
the
the
picture
that
you
see
to
the
right.
F
That
was
done
primarily
by
Toronto
residents
that
were
speaking
out
about
their
issues
associated
with
barriers
within
the
system
and
racism,
and
this
was
this
happened
about
two
or
three
nights
ago
and
it
warmed
my
heart
because
I
said
that's
exactly
what
our
buildings,
our
facilities,
our
community
should
be
able
to
provide
outlets
for
not
only
places
for
people
to.
A
F
And
have
decent
safe
in
affordable
housing,
but
places
where
people
can
grow
in
places
where
folks
can
can
communicate,
and
so
with
that
I
will
I
think
I've
gone
over
my
time,
but
I
appreciate
it
again.
I
appreciate
you
having
me
here
and
I
appreciate
your
attention.
B
Thank
you
definitely
appreciate
the
presentation.
I
know,
I
have
a
number
of
questions,
I'm
sure
other
Commissioners
do.
B
Think
before
we,
we
dig
into
those
I'd
like
to
turn.
A
B
Over
to
some
of
the
Serrano
tenants,
as
well
as
The
Advocates,
to
provide
their
their
feedback
as
well
and
I'd
like
to
invite
whoever
is
going
to
be
speaking
to
to
come,
join
us
at
the
table
just
need
to
make
sure
we
have
access
to
one
of
the
microphones
for
them.
I
All
right,
thank
you,
give
me
everyone.
My
name
is
Brock
Holman
I'm
record
vice
president
of
the
and
Branch
I
currently
serve
as
the
Housing
Community
chair
testified
here
before
this
body
in
the
past,
regarding
the
living
conditions
of
several
affordable
housing
properties
and
continue
to
do
so
until
the
residents
get
the
service
they
deserve.
Having
visited
a
few
properties,
particularly
those
owned
by
ahc
and
being
given
the
opportunity
to
meet
several
tenants,
I've
seen
firsthand
some
of
the
conditions
in
which
many
of
our
fellow
arlingtonians
live
and
heard
stories
of
people.
I
Whoever
was
in,
conversely,
I've
also
spoken
with
staff
at
ahc
and
understand
the
circumstances
they
inherited
were
not
at
all
ideal
and
recognize
our
attempts
to
improve
the
situation.
However,
I
believe
a
larger
point
is
about
the
expectations
that
Arlington
County
should
have
for
its
non-profit
housing
Partners
in
terms
of
property,
maintenance
and
management,
including
customer
service.
I,
also
have
concerns
about
the
current
County
setup,
which
relies
on
Resident
reporting
for
alerts
about
issues.
I
Moreover,
the
county
should
take
immediate
action
by
implementing
the
recommendations
submitted
by
the
joint
subcommittee
on
the
status
of
Aging
properties.
While
progress
has
been
made
on
this
effort
with
the
establishment
of
an
alternative
resolution
board,
there
is
yet
much
more.
The
county
could
do.
For
example,
the
county
can
work
with
tenant
Advocates
to
develop
guidelines
for
property
owners
and
property
managers
operating
properties
that
receive
funds
on
expectations
for
expecting
and
appropriately
interacting
with
resident
Council
content
associations.
I
They've
been
streamlined,
the
housing
complaint
process
that
residents
can
call
or
go
online
to
one
portal
or
office
that
will
make
the
appropriate
referrals.
You
can
also
expand
from
fair
housing
enforcement
within
the
office
of
human
rights
to
include
investigations
of
third-party
Anonymous
complaints,
investigations
of
patterns,
impacts
of
violations
and
investigations
of
disparate
impact
violations.
I
B
K
K
A
K
Involved
in
the
Serrano
since
first
started
hearing
the
issues
around,
maybe
some.
B
So
Marjorie
are
you
up
next.
D
Okay,
okay
and
I
was
just
asked
to
try
to
project
so
that
the
microphones
on
the
top
of
the
ceiling
are
also
picking
up
everything.
Thank
you.
L
A
L
At
the
Serrano
since
2019
so
I've
seen
the
worst
and
I
mean
the
attempts
at
improvements
over
these
last
couple
of
years.
There
have
been
improvements,
welcome
improvements
and.
L
Face
value
this
Mr
Bernard's
profess
intentionally
to
do.
L
The
professions
of
intensity
better
from
the
Serrano
board,
I'm
I'm,
here
to
tell
you
that,
based
on
what
I
know
from
my
continued
involvement
in
the
Serrano
well,
there
have
been
necessary
improvements
in
in
what
you
heard
today
sounds
very
well
organized
and
very
well
planned
in
practice.
It
has
not
worked
out
that
way
for
tenants.
There
have
been
disruptions
in
tenants
lives.
There's
there
have
been
tenants
who
have
been
disrespected
by
the
property
management
office.
They
have
not
received
prompt
service,
they
have
gotten
threats
of
retaliation.
L
The
communication
has
not
been
what
it
should
be
and
I
appreciate.
Mr
Bernard,
your
your
recognition
of
that
I
appreciate
the
recognition
that
that
needs
to
change
that
does
need
to
change
and
the
the
disruption
that
is
occurring
in
the
lives
of
too
many
tenants
still
needs
to
change
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
discount
the
challenges
that
residents
are
facing
simply
because
they're,
not
the
immediate
health
and
safety
challenges
we
all
learned
of
in
2019
and
2020.
L
Our
friends,
our
colleagues,
our
kids,
friends
parents,
to
live
in
those
circumstances,
so
I
I'm,
encouraged
to
hear
the
plans
for
this
Toronto.
I
will
note
that
account
that
we
all
the
county
and
the
community
are
put
off
the
pedal
after
there
were
some
initial
improvements
at
the
Serrano
and
I
would
like
to
think
that
I
cannot
say
confidently
because
of
my
experience
with
estrano.
A
L
Like
to
think
that
all
of
this
would
have
happened
without
Community
scrutiny
because
of
the
people
who
are
now
in
charge
of
the
Toronto.
But
I
can't
say
that
with
any
confidence,
so
I
urge
this
Commission
to
to
stay
in
touch
and
to
make
sure
that
the
county
keeps
its
foot
on
the
pedal
and
make
sure
that
the
Serrano
does.
What
they
say.
They're
going
to
do
makes
sure
that
you
hear
from
residents
that
in
fact,
it's
getting
translated
from
The
Boardroom
to
to.
O
L
L
Commission
to
hold
regular
sessions
like
this
and
ask
ahc
to
come
and
present
and
ask
residents
to
come
and
present
so
that
we
can
follow
up
and
and
keep
our
put
on
the
pedal
and
make
sure
all
of
this
is
happening.
Public
scrutiny
made
it
happen.
The
last
time
and
I
think
we
still
need
public
scrutiny.
I'm.
Also
asking
this
Commission
work
with.
Q
L
County
to
try
to
identify
a
different
way
to
get
tenant
input
right
now,
the
onus
is
on
tenants
to
get
in
touch
with
the
county
if
they're
not
receiving
the
service,
they
should
be,
as
Brian
said
earlier.
That's
just
not
a
workable
system
and
Vanessa
will
tell
you
that
she
hasn't
heard
from
tennis
at
the
Serrano
over
the
last
couple
of
months.
There's
a
reason
for
that
this
year
that
they
have
trouble
using
the
system.
L
It's
not
an
easy
system
to
use
I've
had
trouble
figuring
out
whom
to
call
for
what
they
don't
know,
whether
they
can
speak
to
someone
who
speaks
Spanish
or
on
park
or
whatever
they
do
speak.
O
L
With
them
over,
the
last
five
years
has
been
that
they're
caring
people
who
really
want
to
help
they
do
not
have
the
resources
right
now
to
to
do
their
job
of
holding
our
non-profit
housing
Partners
accountable,
as
Brian
mentioned
earlier.
They
need
more
help,
they
need
more
staff
and
they
need
more
money
and.
A
G
Thank
you
well
for
giving
a
nice
presentation,
although.
G
G
A
A
G
Don't
have
the
fire
alarm
working
for
two
weeks,
that
is
a
safety
issue.
Okay,
like
they
said,
the
elevators
is
not
functioning
for
two
for
almost
two
weeks,
the
both
elevators,
even
though
they
had
somebody
sitting
there
or
waiting
to
help
people
to
carry
their
groceries.
Who's
gonna
carry
the
babies
who
is
going
to
carry
the
elderly
who.
G
They
don't
want
to
walk
a
flights.
You
know
all
the
way
up,
but
it's
not
the
same.
Having
people
helping
carry
the
bags
then
using
the
elevator,
then
they
were
able
to
fix
the
one
elevator
and
then
again
it
broke
down
the
other
elevator.
Yesterday
the
elevator
broke
I
thought
it
was
one
time
during
the
whole
day
it
broke
twice:
they
they
don't
send
no
notification
to
the
residents.
What's
going
on
now
they
came
and
fixed
twice
in
one
day
right.
G
G
There
is
reports
that
is
kids
after
you
know
in
the
afternoon
late
in
the
afternoon
on
the
back
side
of
the
building
39,
they
are
doing
many
things,
they're
not
supposed
to
do.
There's
no
security
packages
is
still
being
disappearing.
You
know,
and
yesterday
I
observed
one
because
somebody
opened
a
package
that
it
was
not
belong
to
that
person
and
left
the
box
in
the
elevator.
G
Then
we
pointed
out
the
parts
to
the
guy
who
was
supposed
to
be
watching
for
the
fire
because
they
contracted
up
two
people
in
there
to
be
sitting
as
a
firefighters,
probably
I,
don't
know,
I
didn't
see
a
bucket
with
them,
but
they
said
they
were.
You
know
there
to
watch
for
fires.
You
know
so
I
asked
them.
You
know
somebody
stole
these
box
and
he
was
there
and
then
somebody
stole
the
box
and
left
that
empty
inside
the
elevator
Okay.
So
yeah.
G
The
water
every
time
the
water
is
shutting
down
and
they
put
the
when
the
water
is
back.
There
is
a
yellow
water
on
the
resident.
Okay,
no
explanation,
at
least
they
could
say
when
we're
gonna
put
the
water
back,
we're
gonna
experience,
yellow
water,
let
it
run.
You
know
for
five
minutes,
so
I
don't
know
for
how
long
there
are
sometimes
people
they
don't
know
why
they
have
a
yellow
wire,
even
if
they
don't
shut
off
the
water.
G
G
We
see
underprecedented
presentation,
you
see
the
residence
service,
you
know
president
Services
separate
from
what
it
what
they
believe
that's
around.
You
know
they
received
pastries
in
there
or
they
give
them
food.
They
talk
about
food
distribution
during
pandemic
was.
G
A
A
G
One
thing
and
you
counting
for
a
hundred
and
you're
staying
there
there
is
that
good
satisfaction
of
people
living
at
Serranos.
There
is
none.
You
don't
come
with
the
residents,
the
last
meeting
that
they
had
imagine
having
a
meeting
at
five
in
the
afternoon.
He
said
about
those
meanings
to
change
those
meetings
at
least
to
6,
30
or
7..
People
are
driving
home
from
work
who's
going
to
be
there
at
5
pm
the
last
meeting.
They
were
only
nine
people.
G
In
that
meeting
there
was
no
Hispanic
residence
and
the
next
day
we
met
with
the
Hispanic
resident
and
they
said
what
they
were
going
through.
They
are
afraid
to
speak,
they
are
afraid
to
say
something
because
they
feel
afraid
of
their
retaliation
and
then
some
of
them
they've
been
sick.
You
know,
or
they've
been
quiet
and
what
they
also
do
is
when
they
identified
somebody,
they
will
go
into
their
units
and
they
will
fix
and
change
everything
in
that
unit.
G
For
that
person
not
to
say
anything
anymore,
and
it
happened
and
I
talked
to
residents
I'm
staying
here
stories
after
stories
that
I
heard
from
residents
when,
when
we
gonna
end
this
I
know
that
is
not
end,
because
you
know
the
building
is
full,
but
at
least
trying
to
to
treat
the
residents
with
respect
and
dignity
when,
when
they
call
in
the
office,
especially
the
office
Sabrina,
nobody
answered
the
forms
and
they
have
to
go
to
the
office.
And
then
your
people
are
on
their
phones.
G
They
have
to
go
to
the
office
to
get
their
attention
even
when
they
are
in
the
office.
They
saying
you
need
to
talk
to
the
manager,
so
can
I
talk
to
the
manager
or
you
need
to
make
an
appointment,
because
the
manager
is
never
there
or
maybe
she's
there.
When
you
know
things
happen,
she's,
not
there
I,
don't
know
you.
G
Of
improvements
on
your
service
to
the
residents
we
talk
about
this
many
times.
I'm
tired
of
this
I
know
I
Gotta
Give
it
that
you
did
improve
Serranos
I,
walk.
You
know
you
guys
improve.
The
balconies
is
good
I'm
happy
for
that,
but
you
need
to
make
the
other
improvements
that
is
necessary
for
the
Healthy
Living
of
these
families.
G
They
have
children
in
those
units
and
they
don't
deserve
to
live
on
those
conditions,
because
the
money
that
they
pay
for
rent
is
the
same
color
of
money
that
we
pay
for
taxes
that
we
pay
for
for
our
homes,
there's
no
difference
in
money.
The
only
problem
is
that
they
don't
have
the
same
services
that
you
all
got
I,
don't
think
any
of
you
will
live
at
Serranos
on
those
conditions.
I,
don't
think
you
will
live
in
there.
G
G
G
H
G
Are
we
yeah?
Okay,.
R
R
R
R
R
J
R
R
J
Thank
you
because
an
emergency
could
happen
like
today.
It
will
work,
I
mean
Eric
Road
apart
and
we
wouldn't
be
aware
of
it.
R
R
J
R
J
N
N
N
S
N
J
She's,
the
assistant
manager
and
she's
the
only
one
now
that's
facing
the
tenants
instead
of
the
manager.
N
A
N
N
A
G
N
N
N
J
December
she
recalls,
there
were
three
cars,
maybe
doing
drugs
or
something
like
that.
She
talked
to
maintenance,
regarding
maybe
cameras
in
in
the
area,
and
the
response
was
that
since
it
was
Public
Access,
they.
N
N
G
J
J
G
S
S
J
D
S
S
S
Eva
after
telling
her
that
she
couldn't
make
the.
J
Payment,
as
you
said
that
a
lawyer
was
going
to
take
married
into
solve
the
situation
and
she.
G
S
S
S
J
It's
since
she
it's
a
small
family
and
only
her
and
her
husband
will.
S
S
S
S
S
A
J
B
Gracias,
I
think
we
have
one.
T
T
T
J
We
have
been
asking
for
a
security
person
because
there's
always
people
in
the
back
of
the
building
and
they're
doing
things
there.
T
T
T
T
I
asked
him
like
I'm,
sorry
to
say
that,
but
I
was
like
what
the
hell
are
you
doing
and
I'm
running
away
because
I'm
scared,
I
say:
oh,
he
locked
my
car.
Look
me
I
run
away
with
my
daughter
inside
this
is
not
the
first
time
I
see
people
are
back
on
the
building
because
there
there
is
no
cameras
there.
We
always
request
the
cameras,
security
and
we
feel
like
you're
just
listening
and
we
are
they.
Don't
they
don't
they
don't
care
about
us?
T
They
ignoring
whatever
we
talk
and
I,
feel
really
scared
about
security,
because
people
just
go
inside
the
building
drinking
smoking
marijuana.
We
have
kids,
even
not
only
kids.
You
know
the
younger
kids,
my
my
son,
my
first
one
is
18
years
old.
He
started
working,
he
come
late
and
people
just
running
outside
I'm
scared
when
he
come
back
to
work,
I'm
watching
him
I'm
calling
always
saying
I
where,
where
you
are,
are
you
almost
close
to
home?
And
this
is
a
big
problem.
T
J
And
also
in
regard
to
the
alarms,
I
just
found
out
that
there's
a
person
in
the
lobby
that
it's
there
for
the
alarms
I
wasn't
aware
that
the
alarms
were
not
working.
There
was
this
issue
in
the.
T
J
You're
also
saying
that
things
have
improved.
I
would
like
to
say
that
you
need
to
come
and
see
for
yourself
knock
on
our
doors
and
check
declarations
that
we're
living
at
on
our
children
too.
So
you,
then,
you
can
be
sure
of
what
you're
doing
is
right
or
not,
and
I
see
the
conditions
we're
living
at.
A
T
J
T
G
B
Thank
you
very
much
so
before
we
get
into
discussion
and
questions,
but
I
think
you
attended.
The
resident
meeting
last
month
did.
B
You
wanted
to
share
based
on
your
attendance.
Q
B
Q
Yeah
I
mean
it
seemed
to
be
a
decent
discussion.
Q
Decent
discussion
I
definitely
heard
issues
about
cameras
and
security.
You
know
they
talked
about
doing
more
resident-centric
events.
I
will
say
that
the
lives.
A
A
Q
Q
Positive
a
lot
of
the
issues
around
so
that
code,
particularly
security,
some
Latin
resident
events.
Q
Thing
I
noticed
was
like
animal
juices
in
the
hallways
was
mentioned.
B
Thank
you
well,
first,
I
just
want
to
thank
both
ahc
as
well
as
the
tenants
from
Toronto,
as
well
as
the
advocates
for
coming
tonight
to
speak
about
this
I
know
it's
not
easy,
especially
for
our
residents
to
speak
out
publicly
and
give
out
time
to
be
here
and
speak
on
the
record.
So
we
very
much
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
provide
us
with
your
Insight
and
experiences
at
the
Toronto.
B
So
I
I
have
a
couple
questions
and
I'm
sure
other
Commissioners
do
as
well,
and
I
also
want
to
give
and
Venezia
a
chance
to
speak
if
she
would
like
as
well,
but
just
first
burning
question
that
I
had
regarding
the
fire
alarms.
That
was
new
information
for
me.
M
Some
of
the
pools
are
working,
but
they
cannot
identify
with
exactly
working.
Fire
Marshall
came
to
do
the
annual
fire
inspection.
Let's
say
it
was
last
week
or
the
week
before
on
Friday
and
he
put
the
property
that
building
on
firewatch.
So
we've
had
two
people
in
that
building
since
then,
and
the
fire
panel
that
they
need
to
replace.
A
B
M
U
It's
just
and
I
can
speak
from
experience,
because
I
have
dealt
with
properties
that
are
on
fire
watch
just
like
this,
and
they
don't
they're
not
there
to
put
out
fire.
They
are
there
to
call
9-1-1.
Just
like
an
alarm
doesn't
put
out
a
fire
sure
they're
just
there
to
alarm,
that's
a
fire
may
be
starting.
B
So
at
least
they
have
a
working
fire
alarm
until
the
overall
system.
I
assume
it's
all
wired
in
together
is
that
something
that
you
guys
have
looked
at
just
especially
if
people
are
concerned
about
how
would
I
know
if
there's
a
fire,
because
there's.
K
M
B
A
M
B
A
O
I
thought
the
required
at
least
into
buildings,
but
I
also
want
to
ask
your
idea
of
individual
Open
Arms,
hopefully
the
ones
that
are
hard.
What
is
it
hardwired
so
that
so
that
they're
less
likely
to
run
out
because
I
have
one
maybe
a
nuisance,
but
it's
a
pleasurable
reasons
when
it
goes
off,
I
mean
I.
A
G
Know
I
I
was
there
yesterday,
the
the
guy
who
was
there
between
before
four
o'clock
very
nice
person.
You
know
a
nice
when
I
was
coming
out.
There
was
another
person
in
there.
Okay,
he
had
the
music
very
loud.
His
feet
was
on
top
of
that
piece
of
wood
that
you
guys
put
it
as
a
table
and
he
was
laid
back
and
with
the
music
very
loud.
G
M
G
That's
not
right
there
for
exactly
and
then
in
front
of
their
eyes.
They
stole
a
package
that
they
they
were
there
when
they
started
packing
up
and
also
the
you
know,
you're
talking
about
the
maintenance.
You
know
there
was
another
guy
there
you
know
henaro.
He
had
a
very
bad
attitude
with
it.
He
was
when
people
were
asking
for
something
in
their
units.
They
said
we
don't
have
money
like
the
money
was
coming
from
his
pocket
and
then
he
created
a
lot
of.
P
G
On
residence
that
I
cannot
okay,
one
time,
I
call
him.
He
told
me
to
call
him
Mr
G,
not
henato.
When
I
said
henaro,
no
call
me
Mr
G,
so
you
you
cannot
have
people
like
that
working.
You
know
with
families.
You
know
they
are
immigrants,
their
families.
They
are
afraid
of
things.
You
know
coming
I
know
that
Hispanic
guy
and
they
asked
him
to
call
him
Mr
G.
H
How
long
is
it
going
to
take
before.
Q
K
K
H
G
If
they
know
what's
going
to
happen
because
yesterday
they
said,
we
don't
have
fire
alarm
here.
So
what's
going
to
happen
and
if
it's
fired
here
so
I
said,
the
system
that
is
probably
down
I
was
guessing.
Is
that
one
is
connected
to
the
fire
department
right
that
alert?
That
is
fine,
but
you
have
I
checked.
They
have
a
smoke
alarm
in
there.
They
they.
A
G
A
G
G
M
B
In
that
building
that
or
yeah
to
say,
here's
the
status,
the
you
know,
fire
alarm
is
down
your
smoke.
Alarms
are
unaffected
by
this
or.
A
G
D
M
V
M
E
With
regard
to
the
smoke
alarms,
do
you
I'm
not
I'm,
just
because
we're
talking
about
smoke,
alarms
like
and
with
resident
services,
we
talk
a
lot
about
like
just
helping
residents
and
also
helping
residents.
You
know
sometimes
they're
thinking
about
sanitation.
You
know,
being
you
know,
good
residents
right
and
and
providing
assistance
to
you.
Is
there
a.
E
M
O
M
G
Just
mentioned
about
the
the
filters
I
I
I
heard
from
residents
that
the
filter
type
have
changed
compared
to
the
previous
one,
the
one
the
blue
one,
the
filter
for
the
conductors.
They
were
blue
right
now
they
are
white.
It
appears
that
the
quality
is
very
long
on
that
one.
Can
you
check
also
why
they
changed
that
I.
A
A
M
G
H
You
I
have
a
totally
different
question
in
U.S
live
and
he
made
a
point
about
the
this
informing
the
the
residents
about
your
consideration
of
renovating.
A
H
Just
to
be
yeah
just
for
Preparation,
either
way
you
go
whether
you
renovate
or
rebuild.
F
A
F
Into
the
process-
and
let
them
know
now
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
really
is
based
upon
what
we
can
afford
and
we
we
know
even
with
the
renovation
there's
going
to
be
a
gap,
and
we
have
to
figure
out
how
we
can
finance
that
Gap.
F
O
R
O
A
O
O
A
P
M
W
M
An
exact
date
because
you
don't
know
we
go
in
how
long
it's
going
to
take
because
they
take
off
the
filter,
the
conductor
cover
they
take
out.
The
filter,
change
the
filter
inside
the
container
and
vacuum
out.
The
action
Vector
cleaning
yeah.
Yes,
they
they
clean
out
the
conductor
and
then
they
even
put
felt
like
pill
in
it
to
help
condensation
line,
to
keep
it
from
being
blocked,
and
they
do
that
on
a
quarterly
basis.
B
And
I
just
wanna
and
I,
don't
remember
if
we
did
this
or
not
forget
if
we
didn't,
but
did
you
all
get
a
chance
to
introduce
yourself?
Does
it
okay,
yeah
sounds
good.
B
For
the
people
online,
who
probably
can't
see
you
that
at
some
point.
E
All
right,
I
have
some
questions
and
some
comments,
because
I
also
want
to
be
mindful
of
our
time
so
first
off
yeah
Paul
great
to
meet
you
in
person.
Finally,
thank
you
for
for
all
your
comments
and
for
all
your
colleagues
here
as
well.
Some
of
them
I
know
and
some
getting
to
know
so
I
appreciate
that,
of
course,
our
wonderful
Advocates.
Thank
you
very
much
into
our
residence
for
being
here
with
very
much
appreciated,
so
I
will,
as
always,
Janet
I.
E
Think
I
got
everybody
there,
so
I
was
going
through
and
I
was
listing.
What
I
considered
kind
of
like
the
issues
that
we're
really
talking
about
here
so
and
Paul
spoke
to
several
of
them,
which
are
really
like
you
know,
actual
physical
issues,
obviously
the
Heat
and
water
issues
which
I'll
cover
in
the
presentation
a
lot
of
that
structural,
and
this
is
an
old
building.
E
This
is
an
old
building
and
I'm
gonna
go
out
and
all
them
and
I'm,
not
speaking
for
anybody
other
than
myself,
but
I
can't
imagine
HC
thought
that
they'd
be
in
this
position.
They
bought
it.
But
here
we
are
things,
change,
circumstances
change.
We
have
high
interest
rates,
challenging
building
and
not
providing
excuses,
but
is
a
reality
and
that's
what
you
know.
Ahc
has
communicated
heat
and
water
issues.
E
As
well,
which
which
Paul
spoke
to
right
and
it
being
offered
for
quite
some
time-
that's
frustrating-
we
talked
about
the
fire
alarms
here.
E
The
security
concerns
are
something
that
I'd
like
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
kind
of,
what's
what's
being
done
on
the
security
front,
if,
if
some
of
you
folks
could
speak
to
that
in
a
second
here,
so
those
are
kind
of
the
heart.
The
the
not
hard
issues
but
heart
issues
have
the
soft
issues,
which
really
are
the
difficult
issues.
I
think
are
really
about
communication
and
trust.
It
sounds
like
you
know.
E
This
is
so
I
I
cherish
the
commission,
obviously
for
a
few
years,
and
we
had
four
meetings
on
on
the
Serato
back
in
2021
two
years
ago.
Many
of
these
folks
were
here
or
virtually
for
that,
and
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
that
was
speaking
to
issues
you
know
of
trust,
and
those
issues
absolutely
remain.
I
think
it's
important
to
acknowledge
that
a
lot
of
work
has
been
done
and
I.
E
Think
a
lot
of
our
Advocates
and
residents
have
have
acknowledged
the
work
where
it's
been
done,
but
have
also
been
telling
some
some
hard
truths
about
where
you
know
we
need
to
do
better
and
agency
needs
to
do
better.
You
know
we're
certainly
appreciative
of
new
leadership
coming
in
and
Paul
and
members
of
his
team
to
invigorate,
but
certainly
it
seems
like
we
need
to
do
more
work
there,
so
I'm
trying
to
kind
of
frame
this
in
a
way
of
like
action
items.
E
Basically,
so
this
commission
makes
recommendations
and
we
have
hearings
and
I
always
felt
like
our
power
was
having
a
public
hearing
and
so
I'm
thankful,
Helen
scheduled
this
and
you
all
were
able
to
attend.
But
ultimately
we
make
recommendations.
You
know
ahc
takes
action
as
the
property
owner.
The
county
takes
action
as
an
over.
You
know
overseeing
and
being
a
partner
there.
E
So
where
am
I
going
with
this?
So
you
know
I
would
like
to
hear
from
Anne
if
she
can
speak
to
kind
of
what
the
county
is
doing
on
its
end,
I'm
personally
not
opposed
to
us.
You
know
reconvening
and
following
up
on
this
I
will
say:
I
hope
that
that's
not
necessary,
because
I
think
these
are
the
conversations
that
should
be
able
to
add
not
always
in
a
public
setting.
You
know
between.
F
E
And
residents
and
Advocates
I
want
to
ask
for
for
ahc
tonight.
Is
you
know?
We've
I've
heard
from
many
folks
that
director
and
Falk
has
not
a
lot
of
advocates
in
the
building
or
or
there's
there's
been
a
lot
of
issues.
There
there's
certainly
been
a
lot
of
disrespect.
That
is
my
ask
of
you.
I
do
feel
like
if
not
for
Advocates.
We
wouldn't
be
here.
You
know
like
we
had
Housing
Commission
meetings,
other
groups
stepped
in,
but
it's
not
for
Advocates.
E
If
not
for
the
residents
themselves,
no
change
would
have
ever
happened,
and
so
we
can't
like
that.
Just
can't
be
happening.
That's
unacceptable.
My
opinion
we're
telling
folks
they
can't
come
into
the
building
and
they
can't
be
communication.
They
can't
ever
rebuild
trust,
so
that
is
definitely
gotta.
Stop
I!
Think
that
you
all
I
mean
you
see,
really
do
really
are
genuine
in
trying
to
to
build
and
regain.
And,
however
you
want
to
phrase
it.
E
E
You
know
if
you're
not
doing
it
already,
you
know
we
need
the
best
people
you
can
put
there
from
just
like
a
communication
standpoint.
It's
a
very
tough
labor
market,
so
I
can't
imagine
that
it's
easy
to
get
people
and
to
keep
fully
staffed,
but
I
think
that
would
be
my
ass
to
this
is
such
a
Paramount
kind
of
issue
right
now,
this
property,
so
those
are
kind
of
those
two
to
the
asks
of
you
there.
E
You
know
we
certainly
can
write
a
letter
to
to
all
of
this
right
and
I.
My
ask
of
the
county
is
a
you
know.
We
certainly
need
to
get
some
concrete
updates
on
the
recommendations
that
this
commission
has
made,
as
well
as
the
county
has
made
to
do
things
differently,
but
then
D,
if
this
is
where
I
put
Anne
on
the
spot.
But
if
I
could
ask
Ian
to
maybe
just
speak
to
some
of
the
things.
E
Maybe
the
county
has
been
doing
I'm,
not
expecting
a
full
presentation
of
all
the
the
recommendations
but
I'm
trying
to
frame
this
for
you.
So
you
can
speak
to
some
of
the
things
the
County's
been
doing.
X
Sure
yeah
so
I'm
happy
to
speak
to
that
so
I'm
Ann
Venezia
I'm,
the
housing
director
for
Arlington
I'd
like
to
Echo
Eric's
thanks
to
everyone,
who's
spoken
tonight.
It's
been
a
really
hopeful
meeting
just
to
hear
both
what
ahc
is
doing
and
also
to
her
directly
from
the
residents
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
having
me
and
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
share
some
of
the
work
that
the
county
is
doing
so
again.
Also
echoing
Eric
I
want
to
be
mindful
of
time.
X
So
starting
just
again
broadly
in
terms
of
what
we're
working
on
the
county.
For
those
of
you
who
are
a
little
newer
to
the
conversation
in
April
2022,
we
did
publish
push
our
long-term
strategies
for
improved
oversight
and
intended
support
at
agent
cap
properties.
It's.
A
X
Mouthful
but
basically
it
includes
17
strategies,
it
spans
five
work
areas
and
it
really
at
the
heart
of
it,
is
trying
to
prescribe
how
we
can
improve
our
oversight
of
our
properties
and
our
portfolio
and
also
to
really
provide
stronger
tenant
supports
for
those
who
are
you
know
those
residents
who
are
living
at
these
properties
and
so
I
don't
want
to
steal
the
Thunder
of
Staff,
who
will
be
sharing
a
full
report
on
this
in
May,
but
I
can
highlight
a
few
things
that
we
have
been
able
to
do
in
implementing
these
strategies.
X
Since
last
April
we've
made
significant
process
of
progress
in
several
areas.
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
highlight
since
the
completion
of
the
report
last
April,
we
have
increased
our
our
inspections
capacity
from
five
percent
of
the
overall
calf
portfolio
to
20
of
the
portfolio
annually.
That's
really
significant
I
will
say,
especially
given
that
the
the
number
of
calf
units
has
increased
by
28
percent
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
X
So
basically
we've
added
almost
3
000
units
and
at
the
same
time
we
increased
our
inspections
capacity
from
five
percent
to
again
about
20
percent.
So
I
went
from
a
few
hundred
a
year
to
now
this
year,
we're
anticipating
over
2
000,
and
so
when
we
did
that
in
about
11
months
time,
which,
for
those
of
you
who
have
worked
for
government,
that
is
extremely
fast.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
yes
come.
X
B
Or
directly
after
this,
so
that
was
the
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
allowed
us
to
move
to
the
20
inspection.
If
that
money
is
taken
away,
does
staff
capacity
go
back
to
you,
five
percent
or
essentially,
if
we
don't
continue
that
funding?
What
is
that
capacity.
X
Sure
yeah,
so
through
the
the
budget
process
last
year,
the
board
did
approve
it.
Actually,
it
was
150
000,
plus
an
additional
50
of
arba
money
and
so
and
Marie
will.
You
know
she
can
address
more
of
these
questions
later
tonight
during
the
budget
presentation,
but
but
that
did
enable
to
your
question
that
did
enable
us
to
expand
our
inspections
capacity
because
we
hired
it
out.
We
were
able
to
get
a
third
party
inspections
firm
under
contract,
and
that
happened
within
the
last
four
weeks.
X
We
were
able
to
get
someone
under
contract
and,
within
a
matter
of
you
know,
maybe
two
weeks
of
getting
the
contract
signed,
we're
starting
these
inspections,
and
so
that
is
work
that
is
underway
this
month
that
we're
getting
going
so
again
the
staff
who
has
worked
on
that
they
have
spent
an
enormous
amount
of
time
getting
all
of
that
work
together
software
in
order
to
enable
the
inspections
as
well
as
the
third
party
getting
the
schedule
together,
it's
been
an
enormous
lift
and
I'm
really
grateful
to
them
for
the
work
that
they've
done.
X
On
that
we
also
as
a
result
of
last
year's
budget
process,
we
were
given
an
additional
FTE
to
hire
a
staff
person
that
focuses
specifically
on
unit
compliance
and
related
strategies.
You
know
resident
experience
and
so
on,
and
so
we're
in
the
process
of
hiring
for
that
position,
so
stay
tuned
for
that.
But
again,
that
is
something
that
we're
hoping
can
really
expand.
X
Our
capacity
in
this
area
and
the
last
effort
that
I
want
to
highlight
is
we
really
do
take
to
heart
how
we
can
receive
feedback
from
residents
and
that
there
may
be
barriers
to
Residents,
calling
the
County
directly
and
so
trying
to
figure
out
how
else
we
can
hear
from
residents
what
their
experience
is,
and
so,
with
the
help
of
Saul.
Thank
you
and
bugatta.
X
We
are
using
one-time
funding
to
do
four
to
five
hundred
surveys,
focus
groups
to
reach
households
of
residents
who
are
living
in
our
calf
units
to
learn
more
about
the
resident
experience
and
to
hear
directly
from
residents.
What
additional
supports
may
be
helpful,
and
so
again
we
really
appreciate
Saul
and
his
team
and
it's
again
another
enormous
lift
and
it's
taking
months
of
work
from
them.
So
again,
we
really
do
appreciate
their
partnership
with
that
and
we're
really
excited
to
see
the
information
that
we
receive
back.
X
So
those
are
just
some
highlights
of
some
of
the
calf
strategies
that
we've
already
begun
to
implement.
There
are
many,
many
more
again
stay
tuned
for
the
May
meeting,
I'll
put
in
a
plug
for
that.
X
Where
we'll
share
additional
examples
of
the
work
that's
been
underway
this
last
year,
but
but
I
I
do
share
that
to
illustrate
that,
at
least
from
the
County's
side
there
there
hasn't
been
the
foot
off
the
pedal
and
I
I
hope
that
that
isn't
the
impression
that
folks
have
we've
been
working
extremely
hard
again
with
the
resources
that
we
have
to
do
a
great
amount
of
implementation
across
an
enormous
body
of
work
in
a
very
short
period
of
time.
So
again,
I'm
really
grateful
to
the
staff.
X
Who've
been
a
part
of
that
in
the
last
few
seconds
that
I
have
here.
I
do
want
to
focus
in
on
Serrano,
specifically
and
I
do
want
to
share
that.
X
We
have
been
very
focused
on
the
feedback
that
The
Advocates
shared
during
or
in
January
through
their
letter,
as
well
as
other
conversations
that
we've
had
and
what
we've
heard
through
these
meetings-
and
here
are
some
specific
actions
that
we
are
taking
in
order
to
follow
up
on
this
feedback
that
we've
heard,
as
several
of
you
I
think,
are
aware,
or
many
of
you
are
aware.
We
have
included
Serrano
on
our
inspection
schedule.
X
Currently
for
April,
and
that
allows
time
for
HC
to
complete
the
100
unit
inspections
that
Paul
mentioned
earlier,
and
you
know,
I
think
they
still
have
some
units
that
they're
trying
to
inspect,
and
so
we
wanted
to
provide
enough
time
that
they
could
finish
their
inspections,
give
residents
a
little
bit
of
a
break
before
our
inspections.
Team
goes
in
I.
X
So
again
we
are
scheduled
for
April
and
then
we
had
staff
attend
the
February
meeting
that
I
know
one
of
the
Commissioners
was
able
to
attend
as
well,
which
is
fantastic
and
we're
working
with
HD
to
confirm
future
resident
meetings,
so
the
staff
can
continue
to
attend
and
hear
again
directly
from
residents,
which
is
always
so
helpful.
X
So
those
are
just
a
couple
of
things
that
I
wanted
to
share
again
specific
to
that
property,
and
just
the
last
thing
that
I'll
say
is:
we've
talked
a
lot,
especially
in
these
forums
of
communication
channels
that
are
available
to
Residents
and
also
to
Advocates,
to
share
concerns
about.
What's
going
on
and
I
know,
some
of
the
conversation
tonight
is
how
how
can
we
best
work
with
residents
who
maybe
aren't
comfortable
using
those
channels,
and
so
I
do
want
to
offer
that
it
is
something
that
we
are
focused
on
as
part
of
our
cash
strategies.
X
We
haven't
solved
it.
We
really
welcome
ideas
from
folks
who
are
in
the
room
from
residents
from
Advocates.
If
you
have
thoughts,
ideas
on
you
know
how
we
as
the
county
and
our
role,
can
provide
a
welcoming
Avenue
a
channel
for
residents
to
share,
what's
on
their
mind,
and
specifically
they
do
have
any
concerns
about
a
property
in
our
portfolio.
X
We
really
would
love
to
hear
those
concerns
and
work
with
you
on
that
and
we'll
get
continue
working
on
our
end
as
well,
but
I
do
want
to
put
that
offer
out
there
that
we
have
not
fully
solved
it
as
I.
Think
a
few
folks
mentioned
tonight
and
we
are
open
to
hearing
ideas.
So
unless
folks
have
questions
I'm
happy
to
to
stop
there
I
know
that
was
a
lot
of
information.
B
E
It
was
the
the
security
several
of
the
residents
talked
about
security
and
I,
know
I'm
familiar
with
the
property,
so
there's
like
Drive
coming
up.
F
So,
in
terms
of
our
whole
portfolio,
we're
doing
security
scans
of
our
properties,
yeah
and
We've.
Serato
certainly
is
on
the
list
and
higher
end
of
the
list.
We've
gone
through
everything
certain
changes
in
up
to
our
security
systems
in
terms
of
the
quality
of
camera,
what
the
camera
can
see
even
putting
cameras
you
know
on
on
the
roof
and
in
addition
to
looking
at
being
able
to
install
artificial
intelligence
to
be,
do
you
understand
who's
coming
in
and
the
face
for
facial
recognition,
all
those
things.
F
So
so
we
have
to
go
through
a
security
scan
first
figure
out
what's
needed
and
then
respond.
The
other
thing
that,
over
the
last
six
months,
I've
been
in
conversation
with
both
the
more
with
the
deputy
chief
of
police
and,
more
recently
with
the
chief
of
police
and
we're
looking.
There
are
a
couple
of
properties
in
Arlington
where
we're
really
trying
to
push
for
Courtesy
officers,
and
so
we
hope
to
have
some
news
coming
back
the
courtesy
officers
and
a
number
of
our
abilities
Toronto
again
being
on
the
list
as
well.
B
So,
thank
you.
Paul
I
guess
follow
up
for
me
on
that.
My
tackles
kind
of
go
up
when
I
hear
about
potentially
even
police
officers
more
present
in
the
building,
specially
that's
majority
minority
residents
definitely
understand
the
security
concerns.
I'm
wondering
has
ahc
or
Drucker
and
fog
started
going
to
the
residence
either
by
convenient
meeting
specifically
about
security.
A
B
Issues
that
people
are
facing
and
sort
of
community
solutions
to
like
what
can
all
of
us
do
within
the
buildings
to
try
to
make
a
safer
environment,
and
you
know
what
is
that,
because
it's
a
shared
responsibility:
it's
not
just
HC,
it's
not
just
trucker
and
Bach.
It's
the
residents
themselves
have
a
role
to
play
in
the
security
environment
as
well.
But
if
you
guys
sort
of
started
that
process.
F
B
B
Camera
as
a
facial
recognition,
I
think
my
concern
with
that
is
a
year
or
two
down
the
road
we're
going
to
have
people
coming
back
and
saying:
there's
over
policing
there's
you
know
too
much
security
and
now
we're
we're
penalizing.
You
know
all
these
black
and
brown
folks
within
the
building
and
for
things
and
it's
unfair.
P
B
A
B
Lead
to
you
know,
kids,
who
are
causing
trouble,
but
we
don't
necessarily
want
to
send
them
to
jail
or
prison
for
that
to
address
those
issues
in
a
way
that
doesn't
necessarily
lead
through
the
criminal
justice
but
again,
I.
Think
if
there's
a
way
to
have
those
conversations
with.
B
And
you
know
whether
that's
Community
conversations
or
focus
groups
or
things
to
figure
out.
You
know
what
what
can
residents
as
well
as
agency,
as
well
as
the
property
management
firm,
do
to
address
this
issue
and
have
people
sort
of
share
that
responsibility
to
ensure
that
it's
a
safety.
K
Focused
tenant
quality
of
so
that
you
hear
it
directly
from
the
restaurant.
What
is
it
that
they
want?
You
know
doing
that
just
making
decisions
for
the
top
down,
but
you
also
hear
you
know
I'm
always
advocating
for
having
the
residents
their
input
and
everything.
That's
what
I
was
telling
about
that
Redevelopment
as
well.
K
K
You
guys,
you
know
other
than
people
who
actually
been
there.
You
so
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
have
a
security
focused
meeting
about
this
around.
E
I
think
I
don't
love
this
to
come
up
as
disrespectful.
It's
not,
but
it's
dying.
Everything
yeah
I
do
feel
like
we
do
need
to
move
on.
So
I
think
we
need
to
figure
out
like
how
we're
gonna
end
this
conversation
right
now
and
then
continue
it
So.
The
plan
is
that
and
and
staff
are
going
to
do,
a
presentation
of
that
exactly
right,
May
on
the
the
recommendation,
so
I
think.
P
E
A
a
good
place
to
resume
public
conversation
right
at
the
commission
level,
but
that
certainly
I
think
the
conversations
really
shouldn't
be
necessarily
kind
of
having
to
come
to
the
Housing.
Commission
I
think
it's
good
in
some
ways,
but
I
think.
Ultimately,
this
is
going
to
stop
solved
in
this
room.
This
is
solved
day-to-day.
E
What
we've
talked
about
tonight,
but
I
I,
really
think
we
should
just
continue
yeah.
That's
that's
all
I
got
it
yeah.
O
They
found
they
asked
code
enforcement
and
it
is,
they
were
in
violation
of
code
enforcement
and
the
ABA,
and
so
so
it
that's
a
matter
of
safety
and
lives
and
accesses
well,
and
it
sounds
like
it's
gotten
even
worse,
because
people
are
having
to
wait
even
longer
and
and
they
can't
even
get
out
of
the
building,
to
go
to
work
or
to
create
basic
errands
and
let
alone
evacuations.
O
The
other
thing
related
to
that
is
if
there
were
a
fire
or
some
kind
of
big
emergency.
I
I
think
that
those
buildings.
B
And
I'll
add
to
you
so
the
meeting
all
that
we
had
previously
I,
made
it
a
series
of
recommendations
or
things
for
that
I
thought.
The
ACC
should
consider
around
sort
of
the
fears
around
retaliation
around
the
elevator
issue
and
potentially
is
there
a
way
to
move
populations
that
are
living
on
higher
floors,
two
different
units,
so
when
the
elevators
do
go
out
that
they're
not
as
impacted,
we
talked
about
some
of
the
communication
concerns
I,
know:
I've
shared
information
with
Jen
about
sort
of
doing
an
equity
framework.
B
To
look
at
you
know,
who's
impacted.
How
are
they
impacted?
What
are
the
barrier
specific
population
space
within
the
unit?
I
didn't
see
necessarily
responses
to
those
things
in
the
presentation
tonight,
but
it
would
be
good
to
know.
Are
those
areas
that
ahc
is
exploring
or
continuing
I?
Think
part
of
the
frustration
you
know
with
within
the
commission
can
be.
We
have
conversations
and
meetings,
we
make
recommendations,
and
then
we
don't
see
anything
that.
B
That
so
it'd
be
it'd,
be
great
to
see
some
more
follow-ups
specifically
on.
B
Again
to
Eric's
point:
we
can
put
them
formally
in
a
letter,
but
I
yeah
I
think
it'd
be
helpful
to
know
like.
D
B
Of
those
because
I
think
the
lack
of
trust
and
the
communication
are,
you
know
they
continue.
B
Concerning
to
me,
that's
been
a
ongoing
issue
with
this
Toronto
and
again.
I
know
that
AC
has
taken
steps
to
address
those
issues
and
I
applaud
ASC
through
the
efforts
that
they
have
already
put
in
place
to
try
to
improve
those,
but
clearly
more
needs
to
be
done,
and
the
process
has
not
been
you
know
fixed
yet
at
least
for
some
residents
and
so
I
think
going
more
in
depth
into
you
know
what
HC
thinks
that
looks
like
in
the
future.
B
I
think
would
be
really
helpful
and
you
know
happy
to
have
another
conversation
offline
about
what
that
could
look.
A
Like
but
yeah.
B
And
I
don't
know
if
the
commission
wants
to
sort
of
memorialize
some
recommendations
or
things
that
we
can
put
in
a
letter
over
the
next
week,
or
so
you
know
to
ahc,
or
we
just
you
know,
want
to
have
another
conversation
in
the
future.
But.
A
F
E
Okay,
all
right!
So
let's
do
this!
So
sorry,
it's
former
chair
coming
out
so
make
a
motion
all
right,
I'm
gonna
motion
that
we
basically
I'll
work
with
it.
E
D
E
E
B
Great
okay,
thank
you
and
I'll
just
say
any
objection.
B
M
G
B
G
I
A
U
B
Okay:
next,
we
have
a
presentation
from
staff
on
the
affordable
housing
ordinance
overview,
so
they've.
V
B
This
into
half
in
consideration.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much
of
having
a
pretty
packed
agenda
tonight.
Y
Russell
to
now
Schroeder
principal
planner,
with
the
housing
division,
as
Sheriff
said,
this
is
going
to
be
a
two-parter
tonight.
We're
going
to
talk.
Part
of
your
purview
is
Housing
Commission.
You
see
cycling,
project
and
they'll
talk
about
two
components
of
that
oftentimes
the
base
and
the
bonus
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you,
affordable
housing,
ordinance
and
that
only
pertains
to
the
base
so
tonight
all
about
the
base.
Y
So
what
we're
going
to
cover
tonight
is
the
land
use
planning
environment
in
Arlington
that
his
pre-history
of
the
ordinance,
the
substance
of
the
ordinance
and
the
results
of
the
ordinance
to
date
and
some
analysis
around
the
ordinance
itself.
Y
Y
They
may
have
recommendations
that
exceed
what
the
general
land
use
plan
has
in
its
adopted
form,
and
so,
when
projects
come
in,
they
may
be
at
requesting
a
change
in
their
glove
designation
consistent
with
the
sector
plan,
so
that,
but
we
don't
change
the
look
when
that
sector
plan
is
is
adopted
and
that
that
is
a
benefit
to
when
it
comes
to
affordable
housing,
which
should,
at
next
month,
you'll
you'll,
learn
more
about
that,
and
so
next
or
policy
there,
and
so
the
the
where
the
rubber
hits
the
road
and
where
the
ordinance
lies
is
in
the
Arlington
County
zoning
ordinance.
Y
Is
the
local
law
preferred
for
what
can
be
done
and
it
regulates
how
things
are
built,
so
it
regulates,
uses
lot,
sizes,
coverage,
building
hype,
bulk,
exciting
parking
requirements,
density
for
each
district,
and
each
district
allows
a
certain
type
of
development.
Y
Some
districts
see
here
may
allow
special
exceptions
through
the
use,
permit
or
site
plan
process,
so
you've
got
the
zoning
will
in
say
a
C3
Zone.
It
will
say
you
can
do
this
by
right
in
in
this
Zone,
but
you
can
also,
through
a
special
exception,
get
even
more
do
even
more,
and
so
it
encourages
people
to
build
beyond
what
that
minimal
thing
is
that's
in
allowed
in
the
zoning
the
buy
right
but
allows
a
path.
That's
also
prescribed
elsewhere
in
the
zoning
Well
site
plan.
Y
So
I'm
going
to
make
stuff
up
here
and
say
that
buy
right.
Maybe
you
could
get
three
stories
of
a
building,
but
if
you
do
this
other
shiny
thing
called
that
we
call
special
exception
site
plan.
You
can
get
10
stories
on
that
line
a
lot.
Well,
most
people
are
going
to
say
it's
more
advantageous
for
me
to
build
that
tensor
and.
Y
Sector
plan
will
also
say
we
want
you
to
build
our
vision,
for
that
area
is
to
have
this
other
type
of
development,
so
the
the
cap
of
the
zoning,
really
it
provides
these
two
patents,
I
write
and
siteline.
So
what's
going
to
come
to,
you
is,
is
site
plan
projects.
A
Y
That's
correct,
so
so
all
the
things
that
are
listed
there
are
the
lot
size,
the
coverage,
the
building
height,
the
bulk,
all
that
stuff
that's
going
to
be
defined
somewhere
in
the
zoning
and
if
you
meet
that
you're
good
to
go
that
just
goes
up
to
the
10th
floor
and
they
they
sign
off
on
it.
There's
no
review
by
anybody,
but.
P
Y
Go
to
the
next
slide
before
we
advance
too
much
farther
basic
jargon:
that's
used
in
zoning
GFA
gross
floor
area,
all
the
square
footage
within
a
building
if
a
building
is
100
feet
by
a
hundred
feet.
That's
a.
Y
Square
feet
and
if
it's
10
stories,
that's
10
000
square
feet,
so
that
would
be
its
gross
floor
area.
Everything
that's
in
there
the
floor
area
ratio
f-a-r.
Is
the
ratio
of
that
total
gross
floor
area
to
the
size
of
a
lot
that
the
property
is
on
so
there's
some
click
once
so
one
far
or
one
floor
area
ratio
on
the.
D
Y
A
A
Y
Twice
that
so
Alex
will
send
these
out
or
post
them,
so
so
you'll
have
them
for
your
reference,
so
the
affordable
housing
ordinance
history.
Y
Y
there
was
the
Redevelopment
of
Arna
Valley
that
which
caused
a
immense
loss
of
affordable
housing,
and
so
there
was
a
a
real
urgency
to
get
our
heads
together
and
figure
out.
What
are
we
going
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
have
affordable
housing
for
our
community
into
the
future?
Y
So
a
group
got
together,
I
think
Christian
Dorsey
was
even
on
that
group
and
they
they
came
up
with
it
with
a.
A
A
Y
Y
V
O
Y
Metro
areas,
there
is
the
expectation
that
10
of
the
gross
floor
area
will
be
affordable
units.
Y
The
board
said
we're
gonna
abide
by
the
law
of
Virginia
and,
and
we
do
is
going
to
abide
but
we're
going
to
establish
a
round
table
and
work
out
a
resolution
for
how
we
provide
affordable
housing
in
site
plan
projects
going
forward
and
what
came
out
of
that
was
the
affordable
housing
ordinance,
which
was
adopted
in
December
2005
and
was
codified.
Y
D
Y
Which
is
15
.?
It
applies
to
site
plan
projects,
so
only
site
plan
projects
coming.
K
Y
K
Y
Get
to
the
formula
you'll
see
why
as
well,
it
applies,
and
this
is
really
key
and
important.
It
applies
to
whether
residential
and
Commercial
uses,
so
some
places
have
ordinances
that
are
inclusionary
or
whatnot,
and
it
applies
to
residential.
Ours
applies
to
both
residential
and
Commercial,
obviously,
through
commercial
projects,
we're
not
getting
any
units,
but
we
do.
O
Y
Y
Y
It
was
voluntary
their
policy
in
the
glove,
but
it
was
an
expectation,
and
so
it
wasn't
in
street
is
voluntary
by
the
development
Community,
because
it
was.
It
was
very.
Y
Stated
expectation
he
will
give
us
time
first
floor
area,
and
so
this
is
an
important
thing
that
that
the
board.
O
A
Y
Base
talk
about
bonus
next
one
but
on-site
units,
it's
five
percent
of
the
gross
Florida
you've
loved
us
before
we
were
talking
about
10,
and
now
we
were
knocked
down
to
five
percent
of
the
gross
polarity
and
that's
only
five
percent
above
first
far,
so
it's
it's
even
less.
When
you
talk
about
total
little
far
for
for
the
building
or
total
GFA.
D
A
Y
One
and
a
half
times
out
of
7.5
or
off-site
anywhere
else
in
the
county
at
10
GFA,
and
you
just
recently
had
a
project
The
Haven,
which
the
Macy's
project,
which
is
the
first
ever
that
actually
did
this
in
the
17
years
at
the
ordinance.
So
I
think
you
can
debate
the
merits
of
that,
and
the
last
option
is
the
cash
cash.
Y
The
cash
contribution
next
slide,
it's
based
on
the
amount
of
the
building
area
up
to
the
maximum,
far
responding
to
the
zoning
District
and
there
may
be
additional
far
beyond
that
and
that's
that's
a
bonus.
That's
we're
going
to
set
a
set
aside
and
talk
about
that
next
time,
but.
Y
Are
adjusted
annually,
they're
indexed
to
the
Consumer
Price
Index
for
housing
for
the
for
our
region
at
the
bottom?
There's
the
2023
rates
and
the
contribution
rate
is
established
at
the
time
at
the
date
that
the
site
plan
application
is
accepted.
Y
Q
Y
The
longer
that
is
about
the.
Y
E
Y
Y
This
this
cost
is
pretty
much
baked
into
land
values
in
Arlington
and
so
upsetting.
A
Y
Y
You
know
that
unpredictability,
so
if
it
were
to
happen,
it
would
need
to
happen
in
in
a
friendlier
environment
and
in
short
order,
so
a
hypothetical
example
and
I
I'll
try
and
but
if
you
had
a
project
with
a
site
area
of
50
000
square
feet.
So
that
would
be
your
one
far
is
50
000
square
feet
and
say
the
project
was
162..
Y
Close
to
pull
up
districts
go
up
to
and
the
zoning
District
allows
for
a
site
plan
to
go
up
to
3.2
support.
So
your
project
comes
in
funny
enough
at
precisely
3.24
of
the.
D
Y
Y
Units
we're
going
to
gross
floor
area
so
in
the
square
feet.
K
Y
A
K
Y
Y
Likes
this
method,
much
better,
which
is
the
cash
contribution,
and
so
this
there's
the
different
tiers.
It's
a
low
tier,
the
2.26
for
the
first
far
six
dollars
for
the
from
one
to
three
far
in
this
case
100
and
then
the
really
high
12
per
square
foot
for
for
anything
above
three
and.
A
Y
Y
Y
So
in
this
case,
if
you
take
the
eight
units
that
you
were
going
to
get
on
the
other
one
you're
getting
a
little
bit
more
than
a
hundred
thousand
per
per
unit,
and
so
we're
actually
stretched
at
a
a
tiny
bit
farther
we'll
talk
about
that.
A
little
bit
later
next
slide.
K
Y
So
that's
what
it
is,
the
results
today.
You
know
from
2016
when,
when
that
should
say,
2006.
A
Y
Of
that,
from
almost
16
from
commercial
development
47
from
residential
development,
and
we
have
on
the
books
in
approved
projects,
an
additional
43,
almost
44
million
dollars
eventually
be
coming
to
the
ahif.
Once
those
projects
come
to
completion,
we've
only
received
30
on-site
units
in
17
years.
Y
The
ordinance
but
because
they're
that's
another
story,
so
30
only
30
units
and
four
site
plans.
One
was
Founders.
Square
developer
is
trying
to.
Y
Project
approved
Sedona
slate
had
other
conditions.
It
was
a
special,
affordable,
housing,
Protection
District.
It
was.
A
Y
Commons
down
also
that
way,
Clarendon,
and
so
they
had
a
replacement
of
units
that
they
had
to
complete
so
that
this,
by
abiding
by
the
ordinance
and
also
helped
them
it's
kind
of
a
double
dipping
situation.
If
you
will
be
in
order
to
fly
with
a
special,
affordable
housing,
Protection
District
units
were
provided
and
then
two
projects
that
only
had
one
unit
each
2020
and
Pershing
in
20
and
very
Point.
Both
of
those
also
had
other
affordable
units
through
bonus
density.
Y
In
because
the
way
the
formula
is
that
for
the
cash
contribution,
that's
calculated
on
that
first
far
and
the
unit
contribution
isn't
taking
that.
First
far,
it
created
a
situation
where
actually
the
cost
per
unit,
the
comparison
favorite
them
giving
us
the
unit.
Actually
it's
it's
a
very
unique
situation
and
will
happen
when
there's
like
maybe
one
unit.
Y
When
we
did
the
affordable
housing
master
plan,
we
looked
at
the
what's
the
benefit
to
the
county,
so
we
get
cash
and
we
have.
We
have
no
means
to
say
whether
we
get
cash
or
units,
but
but.
Y
Y
A
R
Y
O
Y
B
For
the
presentation,
two
questions,
the
first
in
the
draft
Regional
care
housing
plan,
it
does
say,
is
one
of
the
goals
to
review
the
affordable
housing
ordinance,
which
surprised
me
to
see
that
curious.
What
is
the
County
Planning.
Y
Planning
yeah-
and
that
was
in
our
in
the
implementation
framework
that
that
the
manager
put
forward
last
year
and
that
involved
really
looking
at
again
look
looking
at
the
question
of
what
what
is
the
cash
contribution
compared
to
the
value
are
these?
Y
Y
The
Community
Foundation
a
couple
years
ago
undertook
another
analysis
and-
and
they
did
a
series
of
stakeholder
interviews
with
as
well
to
try
to
see.
Is
there
room
to
get
that
five
percent
up
to
seven
and
a
half
percent
and
their
results
were
very
positive
as
well?
They
they
came
back
with
it,
wasn't
additional
value
to
be
captured.
B
Think
it
would
still
be
helpful
to
share
with
the
public
and
advocacy
groups
what
it
should
be
when
the
environment
does
shift
yeah
there's.
So
basically,
people
have
an
opportunity
to
prepare
the
advocacy
for
you
know
when.
B
B
Then
Eric
can.
Y
Y
Both
involve
a
Planning
Commission
approval,
County
board
approval
use
permit.
Usually
the
fees
are
much
lower,
there's,
usually
a
lot
less
density
involved.
There's
certain
conditions.
There's.
A
Y
Very
special,
unique
things
in
the
zoning
ordinance
for
affordable
housing.
The
voluntary
oxman
Village
was
in
eastern.
E
Okay,
so
that's
an
example.
E
Yeah
but
there's
like
a
bunch
of
conditions
and
they
actually
had
to
provide
right,
I'm,
very
conversations
with
staff
pushing
because
there
were
some
issues
with
how
they
actually
delivered
the
unit.
But
there
were
I
think
what
two
units
for
a
home
ownership,
yeah
they're,
affordable
for
40.
or
two
bedroom
units
right
and
of
course,
but
that
was
a
special
situation.
But
that
was
definitely
use
perfectly,
not
site
playing.
It's.
I
Y
So
it's
it's
like
cycling
light,
so
there
aren't
site
plan.
There's
administrative
regulation
4.1.
That
has
that's
like
a
book.
You
know
the
it's
like
61
right,
you
know,
standard
conditions,
use
permits,
have
much
less
okay.
E
Yeah
I
mean
so
a
couple,
a
couple
questions
and
a
comment:
I
mean
I
think
so.
This
was
I,
really
appreciate
this
and
I
and
I
everybody
who
joins
the
Housing
Commission
in
the
future
should.
E
Yeah,
really
it's
really
great,
but
I.
You
know
the
the
bigger
topic
which
you
didn't
cover
because
it's
a
whole
big
topic
because
really
inclusionary
zoning.
It's
really
this
idea
like
we're
we're
playing
with
the
market
a
little
bit
here,
we're
getting
we're
capturing
value,
but
it
does
have
these
other
impacts.
Right
I
was
curious
because,
obviously
it
does
you
know.
You're
saying
it's
baked
into
the
contribution
is
Bacon's
land
price.
Well,
that
has
a
market
impact.
E
Doesn't
it
on
the
other
house
that
that
developer
is
also
bringing
the
market?
I'm
not
saying
I
oppose
this
program.
I
strongly
support
it,
but
it
it
does
depend
upon
the
rest
of
the
revenue
generated
from
that
development
to
support
the
contribution
right.
Have
you
has
staff
ever
done
like
an
analysis?
Maybe
it
was
part
of
the
other
analysis.
You've
done
like
the
impact
of
these
contributions
on
the
rest
of
the
housing,
basically
like,
because
we're
we're
providing
housing
at
this
level.
It's
putting
a
bit
pressure
up
here.
The
market
rate
units.
A
E
My
other
question
you're-
probably
never
going
to
speak
to
me
again
before,
but
I
have
to
ask
it.
What
is
the
applicability
of
the
ordinance
a
specific
set
of
residential
zoning
districts
that
are
currently
under
debate?
The
you
know
eho
districts,
it.
Y
I
E
So
I
I
I'm
not
asking
you
to
play
County
attorney,
but
I've
heard
folks.
It
was
part
of
that
conversation.
It's
like
can
we
require
you
know
affordable
housing
and
I'm
like
well.
If
we
can
require
it,
it
needs
to
be
required
because
we
can
require
it
as
part
of
the
ordinance
we
need
some
Authority
and,
if
you're,
so,
if
you're
saying
basically
it's
very
unlikely
that
it
would
fit
that
criteria.
That
seems
to
me
that
we
don't
necessarily
have
a
vehicle
to
do
that
at
this
point.
If
that
were
a.
A
D
E
V
A
Y
Those
were
all
site
plan
units
that
that
kind
of.
Y
Village
they
work
separately.
It's
a
it's
a
different,
it's
a
different
regime
so
that.
A
Y
U
K
Y
Scratching
right
do
we
even
need
to
have
that
option
on
the
books
anymore,
but
okay,
it's
interesting
that
that
happened.
It's.
U
Y
If
you,
in
most
cases
a
it,
probably
is
more
beneficial
for
a
developer
or
cheaper,
more
economical
for
them
to
provide
the
cash
contribution
and
off-site
units
because,
as
we
know,
even
when
we
do
preservation,
it's
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
unit,
I'm,
certainly
Barcroft
what
was,
and
so,
if
you're
going
to
provide
twice
as
many
units.
Obviously
no.
I
Y
The
but
we've
seen
developments
in
recent
years
here
to
William
Place
Queens
Court
Union
on
Queen
in
the
RV
Corridor
that.
U
Y
A
Y
U
U
A
H
Y
O
O
Ed
so
so,
but
just
to
clarify
that
that
right
now,
the
ordinance
the
site
plan
ordinance
only
applies
to
Market,
family,
residential
and
not
a
single
family
or
am
I
input.
Y
B
A
B
B
One
action
the
budget-
hopefully
we
can
get
through
this
quickly,
I
think
we
have
a
quick
presentation.
P
Can
everybody
hear
me
yep
all
right,
let
me
I
can
start
and
Nicole
Doula
from
DHS
is
also
will
be
joining
in
a
couple
slides
and
we've
already
messaged
on
the
side
and
we're
going
to
try
to
make
this
as
quick
as
possible.
For
you
all,
my
name
is
Marie
Randall
I'm,
the
finance
supervisor,
with
the
housing
division
and
probably
just
to
start
off
this.
P
You
know
the
work
session
for
housing
and
DHS
was
earlier
today
it
was
at
three
o'clock,
and
so
it's
recorded
and
I
think
it's
a
great
way
to
see
this
presentation
hear
the
questions,
hear
all
the
comments
from
folks
like
Kellen,
providing
you
know,
information
to
the
board,
so
I
would
highly
recommend
looking
at
that
all
right.
So
here
we
go
and
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
go
through
relatively
quickly
because
there
are
that
there
is
that
other
information,
but
you
know,
feel
free
to
stop
or
ask
questions.
P
So
this
just
shows
the
the
monies
going
into
housing
this
year
and
the
one
that
I'm
going
to
talk
about.
The
one
bullet
is
the
Columbia
Pike
Tiff,
which
is
right
here
and
Nicole
will
touch
on
all
the
other
ones,
oops,
sorry,
okay,
so
housing,
we
look
at
it
and
why
we
do
a
combined
budget
with
DHS.
P
Is
we
look
at
it
as
there
are
the
Caps
that
housing
helps
to
produce
with
our
ahif
financing
and
everything
you
just
saw
Russell
present
and
then
DHS
comes
in
with
support
services
for
some
of
their
clients,
as
well
as
Grant
subsidies
such
as
the
housing,
Choice
voucher
program
and
housing
grants.
P
P
The
County
board
at
this
point
has
approved
over
120
loans,
with
about
450
million
dollars
allocated
through
those
loans.
There
have
been
approximately
150
million
in
loan
repayments
received,
which
is
about
40,
which
also
signifies
that
about
43
of
the
loans
that
we
have
put
out.
There
have
been
paid
in
full
and
the
fy24
recommendation
is
for
9.7
million
for
ahif
and
ongoing
funds.
P
Okay,
so
the
as
you
know,
as
you
all
know,
the
County's
calf
portfolio
grew.
You
know
pretty
substantially
between
FY
2020
and
fy22.
P
P
P
P
The
county
is
working
with
gyre
Lynch
on
a
master,
finance
and
development
plan
for
the
property
and
more
information
about
that
is
hoping
to
to
come
to
the
board
as
well
as
all
of
you
all
within
the
next
several
months,
and
so
what
that
means,
though,
is
The.
Debt
Service
on
a
150
million
dollar
line
of
credit
is
projected
because
interest
rates
have
risen,
since
first
modeling
had
happened.
P
So
it's
projected
to
be
7.8
million
and
fy24,
as
you
may
remember,
that
gyre
Lynch
is
pays
the
county,
1.5
million
or
about
one
percent
of
the
interest
on
the
loan
annually.
P
So
the
Columbia
Pike
Tiff
as
a
source
for
this
project
are
four
projects.
So
you
may
know,
or
remember
that
the
tip
was
established
in
2013
to
help
Finance,
affordable
housing
initiatives
and
supported
the
Columbia
Pike
neighborhoods
area
plan.
At
this
point
it
has
generated
about
4.1
million
dollars
in
revenue
and
has
assisted
three
housing
projects
to
date
and
those
are
Gillian
place.
A
Arlington
View
Terrace
East
and
a
small
portion
to
Arlington
Mill
in
fy24,
the
county
manager
recommends
or
for
fy24.
P
The
county
manager
recommends
that
the
current
tip
fund
balance,
plus
Revenue
collected
in
fo24,
are
used
to
support
bar
Croft
dad.
So
it's
projected
that
the
balance
for
fy24
will
be
about
3.8
million
dollars,
there'll
be
additional
revenue
of
about
1.4
million
dollars
and
that
5.3
would
would
be
helping
to
pay
for
Barcroft
debt.
P
So
this
this
slide
basically
like
puts
it
all
together.
So,
basically,
if
you
have
the
9.7
and
ahif
ongoing
funds,
plus
the
Columbia
Pike
Tiff
balance
and
revenue,
the
loan,
repayments
and
payoffs
that
are
projected
and
also
the
developer,
contributions
that
are
projected
and
plus
our
federal
CBG
entitlement,
we
get
projected
sources
of
about
22.3
million,
and
then
you
see
what
the
barcraft
debt
service
and
the
Buckingham
Villages
three
Debt
Service
is
about.
9.8
million,
so
we'd
have
about
12.5
million
for
other
projects.
P
And
then
just
one
thing
to
highlight
that
we've
talked
a
lot
about
specifically
with
the
Serrano
is
that
we
are
continuing
our
inspections
and
property
support.
So
this
year
we
have
about
200
in
fy23.
P
We
have
about
200
000
in
general,
in
arpa
fund,
that
those
inspections
are
pretty
much
underway
and
we
provided
a
third
party
firm
to
do
that,
hoping
to
get
approximately
2
000
additional
units
this
year
or
this
fiscal
year,
and
then
fy24
housing
will
continue
to
work
with
the
county
manager
for
support
for
this
work
and
for
funds
for
this
work
and
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Nicole.
W
Thank
you
Marie,
as
Marie
announced,
my
name
is
Nicole.
Doula
I
am
on
the
housing
side
at
the
Department
of
Human
Services,
so
I'm
going
to
present
the
proposed
fy24
budget
for
housing,
programs
and
services,
starting
with
eviction
prevention
within
the
Department
of
Human
Services.
We
have
a
community
Assistance
Bureau
that
has
been
on
the
Forefront
in
the
community
throughout
the
pandemic,
assisting
residents
with
critical
targeted
prevention
tools
of
assistance,
particularly
those
in
crisis,
those
needing
how
facing
housing
emergencies.
W
So
as
one
of
the
FY
24
priorities,
accounting
managers
proposed
budget
is
focused
on
an
emphasis
on
stabilizing
households
in
Arlington
and
improving
housing
conditions.
W
So
during
covid,
while
we
were
fortunate
to
relieve
some
relief
from
the
Statewide
rent
relief
portal
from
December
of
2020
through
June
of
2022,
we
have
been
able
to
assist
arlingtonian's
through
that
Statewide
portal
through
eviction,
prevention,
efforts
to
the
tune
of
35
million
dollars,
and
a
lot
of
that
fun
again
was
birthed
through
arpa
cares
funding
that
was
released
to
combat
the
the
pandemic
crisis.
W
So
now
that
we
are
here
we're
approaching
what
in
the
industry
we're
now
calling
the
covet
Cliff,
where
these
funds
are
are
drying
up
and
coming
to
an
end,
we
are
still
seeing
the
lingering
effects
of
how
the
pandemic
is
still
affected,
some
households
within
the
community.
So
with
that
said,
in
our
FY
24
budget,
we
are
request,
sting
3
million
in
one-time
funds
and
600
000,
and
ongoing
for
eviction
prevention,
Focus
in
FY
23
to
date.
Right
now,
we've
already
spent
5.4
million
that
has
been
dispersed.
W
W
000,
because
the
demand
and
the
recurring
needs
for
assistance
have
outpaced
our
pre-covered
budget
with
the
need
to
we've,
we've
been
going
back
and
forth
to
the
county,
requesting
reallocations
from
our
initial
FY
23
budgets,
which
has
increased
to
the
5.4
that
I've
articulated,
but
we've
also
had
to
reinstate
some
of
our
eligibility
criterias
that
were,
in
effect,
pre-covered
that
we
did
lacks
during
the
coveted
pandemic,
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
through
all
of
these,
but
the
newer
ones
that
were
implemented
as
of
January
of
2023.
W
W
We've
had
to
re
move
the
eligibility
criteria
from
80
percent
of
Ami
of
households
that
are
seeking
assistance
down
to
50
percent
of
area,
immediate
income,
and
we
are
now
looking
at
the
rent
amounts
for
those
requesting
assistance
and
setting
the
eligibility
standards
at
equal
to
or
less
than
150
percent
of
a
fair
market
rents
in
Arlington.
W
The
rest
of
these
components
are
eligibility
criteria.
We
we've
had
prior
to
covid
next
slide.
W
All
right
continue
with
the
fy24
priorities.
There
is
an
ongoing
commitment
to
support
the
County's
housing
grant
program.
Fy24
proposed
budget
we've
included,
2.4
million
and
one-time
funds
for
a
total
program.
Budget
of
14.4
million
90
of
our
existing
current
participating
housing.
Grant
clients
are
in
committed,
affordable
units.
W
W
W
W
Okay,
this
is
our
maximum
allowable
rents,
of
course,
with
housing
grant
program.
Since
FY
2020
we've
received
commitment
from
the
county
manager
to
continue
to
move
the
index
for
the
maximum
allowable
runs
for
the
program
each
year
with
each
budget
cycle.
So
we're
fortunate
to
continue
to
move
that
index
to
point
to
60
percent
of
the
area
median
income.
This
allows
for
the
grants
to
be
compatible
competitive.
W
Sorry,
it's
late
competitive
in
in
the
community
as
well
as
you
know,
expand
the
rental
subsidy
amount
for
our
participants,
who
are
who
who
are
in
the
program
so
that
the
grant
can
keep
Pace
with
the
rising
rents
next
slide
all
right.
So
my
last
visit
to
this
commission
I
spoke
about
the
county
board's
amended
guidance
for
a
stakeholder
review
of
the
housing
grant
program.
W
We
did
give
an
update
today
of
where
we
are
specifically
DHS,
was
charged
to
study
the
current
purpose
and
the
and
the
configuration
of
the
housing
grants
program
and
provide
any
subsequent
recommendations
to
the
County
Board
on
potential
changes
and
the
budget
implications
related
to
those
proposed
changes.
W
Some
of
the
prominent
themes
of
of
why
we're
focusing
on
the
study
was
either.
Do
we
need
to
go
deeper
in
terms
of
the
benefits
that
we
provide?
Should
the
eligibility
population
Beyond
seniors,
those
with
disabilities
and
Working
Families
be
amended
so
essentially,
DHS
began
the
study.
In
the
summer
of
2022,
we
were
able
to
consult
with
a
firm
to
conduct
participant
and
former
participants
and
current
participant
focus
groups.
We've
done
nine
of
them,
including
in
person
as
well
as
telephone
surveys.
W
We
then
progressed
to
many
stakeholders
at
commissions,
advocacy,
group
partners
and
had
focus
groups
with
them
as
well
as
internally
among
among
the
county.
So
we've
had
about
eight
interviews
with
DHS
Representatives,
as
well
as
our
sibling
department
at
cphd
in
the
spring.
Essentially
what
our
plan
is
to
come
back
to
the
community
and
provide
a
status
update
as
well
as
go
back
to
those
stakeholder
groups
and
present
some
of
the
draft
recommendations.
W
As
a
result
of
all
the
information
we
collected,
we're
hoping
with
not
only
the
recommendations,
but
the
budgetary
impacts
will
come
back
to
the
county
manager
and
the
board
in
the
summer.
With
a
final
report-
and
there
will
be
some
decisions
on
what
will
be
baked
into
the
fy25
budget
process
for
any
any
amendments,
next
slide.
W
Normally
the
housing
Choice
voucher,
which
is
100
federally
funded
program,
is
not
really
highlighted
during
our
budget
work
sessions,
but
as
the
Director
of
of
our
housing
assistance
programs.
I'm
happy
for
the
first
time
that
this
program
was
was
highlighted.
