Sounds
good,
so
I
don't
think
we
have
any
public
comment
not
on
items
on
the
agenda
correct
that
is
correct,
okay,
and
so
our
first
item
on
the
agenda,
I
believe,
is
approval
of
the
notes
and
do
we
have
from
any
of
our
commissioners
any
changes
or
Corrections
from
the
notes.
A
I
did
not
have
anything
specific.
There
are
some
things
that
I
thought.
A
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
notes.
Do
we
have
a
second.
A
Thank
you,
Karen
and
any
objection
to
approving
the
notes.
A
E
Hi,
so
it's
okay
with
a
chair,
I
can
start
this
off.
This
is
for
the
bar
Croft
Department's
initial
renovation.
Project
use.
Permit
and
I
have
a
short
presentation.
If
you
could
bear
with
me,
while
I
put
that
on
the
screen.
E
But
hopefully
everyone
can
see
that
so
thank
you.
I'm
Melissa
donovski,
the
county
project
coordinator
for
Barcroft
and
I'll,
be
providing
a
brief
refresher
on
the
background
of
the
acquisition
and
some
other
General
updates
before
turning
it
over
to
the
John
Lynch
team,
for
their
presentation
and
also
with
us
to
help
answer
questions
after
the
presentations
is
Olivia
santak
who's
leading
the
use
permit
aspect
of
this
project.
E
So,
as
you
may
recall,
back
in
December,
2021
Jerry
Lynch
purchased,
Barcroft
Apartments
through
the
assistance
of
a
150
million
dollar
loan
from
the
county
and
160
million
dollar
loan
from
Amazon
units
were
restricted
up
to
60
Ami
for
99
years,
the
longest
affordability
term
in
the
County's
portfolio.
To
date.
E
Since
the
time
of
acquisition
the
driver,
Lynch
team
had
worked
on
their
Master
financing
and
development
plan,
which
was
submitted
to
the
county
on
October
29
2022.,
the
master,
financing
and
development
plan
or
nftp
for
short,
is
a
high
level
overview
of
some
of
their
proposed
planning.
Land
use
and
affordability
Concepts.
E
So
as
County
staff
and
the
general
Lynch
team
continue
to
work
on
long-term
planning
for
the
site,
China
Lynch
has
agreed
to
move
forward
with
advancing
an
initial
renovation
project
of
93
Homes
at
Park
Croft
departments
and
for
the
initial
renovation
project
John,
which
is
proposing
buildings
that
are
part
of
the
existing
neighborhoods
formed-based
code,
Conservation
Area,
and
are
not
envisioned
by
either
the
county
or
dry
Lynch
for
redevelopment,
regardless
of
the
ultimate
plans
for
the
property.
But
I
also
want
to
take
a
moment
to
discuss
affordability.
E
The
units
are
conditioned
to
average
up
to
60
percent
of
area
median
income,
the
lead
flexibility,
as
we
continue
to
explore
affordability
levels
for
the
site.
In
addition,
County
staff
and
drylands
are
exploring
ways
to
provide
deeper
affordability
at
Barcroft,
including
units
restricted
at
various
income
levels
below
60
percent
of
Amis,
and
continuing
to
encourage
housing,
Grant
and
housing,
Choice,
voucher
referrals
for
eligible
residents
and
we're
targeting
a
September,
Housing
Commission
meeting
to
further
discuss
details
and
recommendations
related
to
deepening
affordability.
E
In
terms
of
a
resident
notification
and
10
and
the
Tenant
on-site
relocation
process,
Jerry
Lynch
remains
committed
to
a
resident
first
approach.
All
details
about
the
relocation
plan
and
the
renovations
impact
on
existing
residents
will
be
communicated
to
Residents
early,
often
and
invite,
and
in
a
variety
of
ways
and
in-person.
Resident
meeting
was
held
on
April
24th,
to
inform
the
impact
of
residents
and
answer
questions
and
translation
was
provided
and
for
the
County's
relocation
guidelines.
The
giant
scheme
will
be
required
to
complete
a
tenant
relocation
Plan
before
any
plan
renovation.
E
Work
residents
may
need
to
be
temporarily
accommodated
on
the
property,
while
the
work
to
renovate
and
upgrade
their
home
is
completed
and
on-site
relocation
services
will
be
provided
by
chair
Lynch
at
no
cost
to
the
residents.
In
all
cases,
the
gates,
Hudson
property
management
team
and
the
dry
lunch
team
will
ensure
information
is
shared
with
residents
to
give
them
time
to
fully
prepare
for
any
disruption,
including
a
120
day
notice,
and
it
will
also
provide
one-on-one
attention
to
address
specific
resident
requests
and
concerns.
E
F
Okay,
this
is
Melissa
mentioned
I'd
love
to
share
with
you
today
our
overview
of
our
use
permit
and
really
this
first
renovation
phase,
as
Melissa
described.
F
F
The
began
to
steal-
and
we
we've
met
with
you
in
the
past,
on
the
acquisition
and
our
goals
will
be
mfp
and
now
I
wanted
to
come.
You
know
before
you
talked
about
our
first
application
or
first
renovation
as
Melissa
as
we
are
working
with
staff
on
the
the
broader
mfdp
review.
F
D
A
F
F
And
just
a
little
again
background
on
Barcroft,
very
quickly,
59
Garden
stock.
F
F
F
Project
that
is
this
first
use
permit,
is
here,
as
you
can
see,
located
on
off
of
George
Madison
Drive
and
South
Four
Mile
Run.
B
F
F
So
again,
we
within
this
this,
the
neighborhoods
form
A's
code,
governs
this
area
of
this
use.
Permit
renovation
and,
as
you
guys
are
familiar,
may
be
familiar
with
again
just
jumping
into
what
we
are
proposing
an
overview.
So
really
look
at
your
building,
Renovations
in
blue
here
on
the
site
plan.
You
can
see
those
are
building
additions
and
it
also
landscape
and
site
Improvement,
specifically
focused
on
one
area
of
the
site,
where
we
wanted
to
provide
a
and
a
gathering
amenity
open
space
for
the
residents.
F
In
this
section,
it's
a
very
hilly
section.
It
did
find
an
area
where
we
could
do
that
again,
going
back
to
the
additions,
as
you
can
see
here
in
the
table
currently
93
units,
the
majority
89
89
of
those
are
two
bedrooms
and
four.
Those
are
one
bedrooms.
F
The
proposed
mix
with
the
inclusion
of
the
additions
would
convert
18
of
those
two
bedrooms
into
thirteen
four
three
bedrooms
and
four
four
bedrooms
and
in
our
collaboration
with
the
county,
we
understand
that
that's
a
priority,
a
larger
family
sized
committed,
affordable
unit.
So
that
was
a
one
of
the
priorities,
as
we
were
testing
this
site
and
examining
opportunities
to
provide
these
three
and
four
bedroom
units
to
Arlington
County,
and
we
were
able
to
do
that
again
in
the
blue
areas
that
you
see
here
are
the
additions.
F
F
In
our
past
meetings,
we've
really
been
focused
on
a
resident
first
approach,
understanding
their
needs,
and
this
was
clearly
a
a
need
that
residents
had
raises
places
to
gather
together
on
the
site
and
so
we're
looking
to
make
some
improvements
here
to
to
give
them
an
opportunity
to
do
that,
and
here
are
the
proposed
Editions
that
again
create
three
bedroom
and
four
bedroom
units
from
existing
two
bedroom
units.
F
These,
as
you
can
see,
Building
25
houses.
Has
these
two.
What
you
see
in
the
renderings
here
is
Building
25,
where
this
additional
sleeping
porch
Edition
adds
that
fourth
bedroom
in
the
other
bump
outs.
There
are
three
bedroom,
typically,
four
per
each
that
are
provided
again
through
these
additions,
which
we
located
again
in
the
rear
of
the
of
the
property
in
the
rear
of
the
these
three
buildings.
F
And
then
again,
just
going
back
to
summarizing
the
renovations
again
with
some
diagrams
here
again
the
exterior
Renovations
you
can
see
here,
you
know
we're
gonna,
be
cleaning
pointing
up
existing
masonry,
repairing
slate
roofs
in
this
section.
This
is
this
is
the
first
phase
which
I
utilize
slate
roofs
you
can
see
here.
Currently
there
are
p-tac
units.
We
will
be
removing
those
and
infilling
with
brick
to
match
the
facades.
F
F
And
then
also
the
majority
of
the
windows
have
already
been
replaced
under
previous
ownership.
We
will
be
replacing
the
remaining.
These
are
basement
windows
that
we
will
be
replacing
to
match
the
existing
replaced.
Windows
we're
also
going
to
other
other
updates
that
are
in
line
with
the
original
character,
and
they
were
also
you
know.
F
One
of
our
discussion
with
the
lrb
was
Virginia
housing,
design
requirements,
we're
balancing,
because
this
will
be
a
financed
through
them,
two
requirements
of
covering
existing
wood
trim
with
vinyl
or
aluminum
cladding,
and
then
also
adding
canopies
as
a
requirement,
and
those
are
both
ones
we're
going
to
ask
for
waivers
for
because
we
think,
given
the
historic
nature
of
this
product,
they
have
granted
waivers
in
the
past
for
those
two
items
again
here
are
those
two
Virginia
housing
design
requirements
that
we
can
work
through
with
the
halrb.
F
We
have
proposals
for
canopies
in
case
the
waiver
is
not
successful,
but
again
we
will
be
pursuing
those
I
think
that
is
something
that's
appropriate
for
this.
This
project.
F
And
again,
here's
kind
of
the
overview
of
the
again
if
we're,
as
Melissa
mentioned,
looking
to
go
to
the
board
in
a
week
to
approve
our
4.1.2
use
permit
again
to
allow
the
building
Renovations
the
additions
and
the
the
landscape.
Renovations
and
I
won't
attempt
to
get
into
some
of
the
the
more
the
legal
here.
But
you
can
kind
of
see
the
there
are
some
modifications
that
we're
requesting
but
happy
to
think
of
those.
F
If
we
want
to,
but
that's
you
know
overview
and
again,
as
Melissa
said,
we
just
wanted
to
give
you
that
update
and
then,
more
importantly,
just
to
be
available
to
take
questions.
A
A
And
appreciate
you
doing
the
work
around
with
your
laptop
so
that
we
could
hear
you
looks
like
we
have
one
public
speaker
for
this
agenda
item.
Go
ahead.
Mary.
I
Well,
thanks,
Kellen
I
really
do
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
come
and
comment
on
this
first
phase
of
barcroft's
Redevelopment
tonight.
As
as
Kellen
said,
my
name
is
Mary
Hines
and
I'm
testifying
tonight
on
behalf
of
the
Arlington
Community
Foundation.
I
As
many
of
you
know,
the
Arlington
Community
Foundation
has
had
an
affordable
housing
team
since
2019
and
we
are
particularly
focused
on
the
needs
of
arlingtonians
who
live
on
30,
Ami
or
less,
which
is
about
forty
six
thousand
dollars
for
a
family
of
four
in
this
year,
and
we
believe
that
for
the
foreseeable
future,
every
affordable
housing
deal
should
aim
to
provide
10
percent
of
its
units
as
30
percent
caps.
And
that's
what
I'm
going
to
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
I
will
say
we
do
applaud
this
increase
in
three
and
four
bedrooms.
I
It's
a
really
important
step
as
well,
but
we
believe
we
base
our
belief
on
this
need
for
10
of
units
to
add
30
percent
first
committed
to
30
percent,
based
on
two
recent
pilot
programs
that
we
completed.
Our
goal
in
these
Pilots
was
to
better
understand
how
Both
calves
and
rent
subsidies
work
and
then
how
their
costs
compare.
Based
on
our
work,
we
can
say
that
in
today's
dollars
the
cost
of
a
30-year
rent
subsidy
is
255
000.
I
The
cost
of
a
one-time,
brick
and
mortar
investment
is
about
a
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
dollars
set
another
way.
It
costs
us
50
percent
more
to
provide
an
annual
rent
subsidy
over
30
years
than
making
a
one-time
investment.
So
we've
been
following
this
whole
bar
Croft
process
with
great
deal
of
Interest.
We
note
that
in
May
of
2022
255
households
living
at
Barcroft
reported
that
they
earned
30
percent
of
Ami
or
less,
and
we've
consistently
advocated
that
we
should
end
up
with
that
number
of
affordable
units
at
30
percent.
I
When
we're
done,
we
think
that
condition.
39
is
heading
in
the
right
direction.
We
do
hope
that
you'll
ask
many
questions
about
what's
intended
by
the
language,
and
we
do
look
forward
to
your
September
meeting
discussion
on
affordability
that
Melissa
referenced.
That
being
said,
we
urge
that
nine
or
ten
of
the
93
units
in
this
first
phase
ultimately
be
identified
as
thirty
percent
Ami
caps.
Thanks
very
much.
A
Thank
you
Mary
appreciate
your
public
comment
now
to
have
discussion
with
Commissioners
and
questions.
I
do
have
I
do
have
a
couple
questions.
First,
oh
David.
Your
videos,
working
I
got
it
to
work.
A
My
first
question
just
so
I
don't
lose
track
of
of
it
for
getting
some
of
the
others.
So
you
mentioned
the
canopies
as
a
requirement
with
Virginia
Housing
and
their
sort
of
loan
origination,
but
because
the
historical
nature
you
were
trying
to
seek
a
waiver
I
was
curious.
A
Do
you
have
a
sense
from
the
tenants
themselves
if
they
would
prefer
canopies
versus
not
because
I
think
just
from
a
practical
perspective,
it
seems
like
the
canopies
would
be
a
benefit
to
Residence
from
keeping
the
elements
you
know
clear,
potentially,
safety
when
it
comes
to
snow
and
ice
not
accumulating.
You
know
right
in
front
of
the
door,
so
definitely
understand
the
historical
nature
of
the
site
and
I
can
see
on
the
wood
like
the
wood
borders,
getting
an
exception.
I.
Don't
think
the
tenants
probably
care
that
strongly
about
that.
H
A
To
the
the
residents
that
would
potentially
outweigh
the
historical
I
guess,
considerations
for
the
property
I
was
just
curious.
If
you
all
have
had
any
conversations
with
the
tenants
about
that.
F
You
know,
we've
had
a
couple.
You
know
resident
meetings,
kind
of
going
over
the
overview
of
this.
We
have
not
specifically
called
out
canopies
as
one
of
the
one
of
the
options
we
have
really
since
the
beginning
of
pursuing
kind
of
the
again
within
the
conservation
easement
trying
to
address
the
historic
nature
of
these
properties
through
that.
A
Understandable
I
was
just
I
think
recommend
that
it's
worth
considering,
including
it
just
because
I
think
what
what's
most
helpful
for
the
residents
is
the
best
way
to
go,
even
if
that
means
that
the
some
of
the
historical
character
of
the
property,
changes
and
I
think
you
know
if
there's
something
that
can
improve
safety
and
you
know
protect
them
from
the
elements
as
they're
coming
to
and
from
the
building.
It's
definitely
worth
considering.
A
I
did
have
a
question
also
about
the
the
subsidy
or
the
sort
of
the
Ami
for
the
CAF
units
sort
of
in
line
with
what
Mary
was
asking
I
know
in
the
County's
report.
You
talked
about
exploring
deeper
subsidies,
Beyond
60
of
Ami.
A
E
Yes,
thank
you.
I
can
take
that
question,
so
we
do
hope
to
come
back
to
the
Housing
Commission
in
September
to
discuss
the
strategy
and
recommendations
for
the
affordability
levels
at
bar
Croft.
It
is
something
that
we
are.
We
are
exploring
and
I
am
I'm
actually
excited
to
come
back
in
September
to
discuss
it
more
fully.
A
And
so
Melissa,
that's
not
something
that
this
use
permit
like
specifies.
So
that's
sort
of
a
separate
question
that
gets
answered
later
than
what
they
use
permit
approval
process.
E
E
Does
specify
that
all
good
units
need
to
average
up
to
60
am
I,
but
in
terms
of
that
specificity
that
would
come
later
and
also
part
of
the
script
of
covenants.
That
would
come
later
with
the
finance
closing.
J
Hi
question
about
the
courtyard:
this
is
my
first
time
seeing
these
pencil
I
was
just
wondering
you
know
how
big
is
the
courtyard
and
like
what
type
of
activities
are
like
plan
for
that
like?
Is
there
like
a
little
playground?
Are
there
grills
or
people
can
get
together
and
like
have
family
activities?
Things
like
that.
F
Yes
and
I'll
I'll,
actually
I
can
re-share
this
to
maybe
zoom
in
a
little
bit,
so
you
can
see
a
little
bit
of
the
proposed
layout,
but
yes,
the
the
really
the
character
of
this
space
will
be.
F
You
know,
picnic
tables,
grills,
a
kind
of
A,
Gathering,
Place
I,
think
you
know,
we've
shown
maybe
about
four
or
five
picnic
tables
here.
Yeah
I
think
this
is.
This
is
something
where
you
know.
This
is
the
first
phase,
obviously
that
bar
Croft
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities
on,
especially
in
the
flatter
areas,
to
do
more
things-
and
that
is
part
of
our
broader
study-
is
looking
at.
You
know
adding
yeah,
adding
playgrounds
throughout
adding
these
picnic
areas.
F
So
here
again
you
can
see
a
proposed
layout
of
you
know
a
couple
picnic
areas,
some
grills
tables,
but
our
our
goal
is
that
throughout
the
site,
we're
going
to
have
you
know
kind
of
these
smaller
areas
that
residents
can
gather.
J
Awesome
and
then,
for
you
know,
you
went
over
that
plan
to
match
the
brick
to
like
the
AC,
where,
like
the
AC
units,
are
located,
yes,
yeah
and,
and
this
one
like
how
will
AC
and
like
heat,
be
like
provided
in
these
units.
F
Every
unit
will
get
their
own
heat
pump
system,
so
they
each
will
have
an
individually
controlled
unit
for
their
for
their
unit.
J
F
Yeah,
so
the
the
parking-
this
doesn't
a
little
bit
better
close
up.
So
with
this
with
this
use,
permit
we
are,
you
know
the
existing
parking
will
stay
so
we're
not
adding
or
taking
any
parking,
but
the
what's
out
there
today
is:
what's
the
parking.
A
Thank
you.
Elizabeth
I
had
a
question
about
the
square
footage
for
the
different
bedroom
sizes.
Do
you
have
that
information
handy
for
like
what
is
the
square
footage
for
the
four
bedroom
versus
three
versus
two
versus
one.
F
Yes,
yep
yeah,
maybe
here
I,
can
pull
it
up.
So
the
the
existing
one
bedrooms
are
about
the
average
of
650
square
feet.
The
two
bedrooms
are
770
and
then
the
three
bedrooms
would
be
an
average
of
9.85
and
the
four
bedrooms
would
be
a
little
over
1100..
F
A
A
How
did
those
units
get
reallocated
for
existing
residents?.
F
So
in
this
section
we
have
basically
a
resident
who's
living
in
a
unit
currently
that
it
will
be
having
these
additions,
assuming
they
don't
want
to
come
back
into
a
three
or
four
bedroom
unit.
We
have
enough
vacants
here,
we've
been
holding
a
vacancy
to
allow
those
residents
again.
The
majority
here
are
two
bedrooms.
F
So
again,
we're
bumping
we're
going
to
add
to
these
two
bedrooms:
they're
going
to
be
available
vacant
two
bedrooms
for
them
to
move
back
in
elsewhere,
and
then
these
would
be
available,
for
we
do
have
some
existing
three
bedrooms
on
the
site
that
we
would
offer
these
residents
to
move
into
in
a
phasing
plan.
And
then
you
know
there'll
be
some
new
four
Bettors
for
any.
You
know,
residents
who
want
to
need
that
space
and
want
to
move
up
again.
They
weren't
available
before
or
then
obviously
open
to
anyone
in
the
county.
A
Okay,
so
this
isn't
necessarily,
then
that
or
it
sounds
like
it
wouldn't
be-
that
if
one
of
these
units
is
currently
occupied
by
a
household
that
they're
going
to
be
temporarily
relocated
and
then
move
back
at
the
end
of
Renovations,
they
would
be
relocated.
They
can
potentially
choose
once
Renovations
are
done
to
I
guess
apply
to
move
back
to
their
old
unit.
That's
now
newly
renovated,
but
that's
not
sort
of
a
guarantee.
F
Yeah-
and
this
will
be-
you
know,
we'll
be
we'll
be
working
on
the
tenant
relocation
plan
outline
all
these
details,
but
you
know
generally,
the
concept
is
yeah
anyone.
You
know
everyone
will
be
able
to
move
back
to
this
section
and,
as
you
identify
the
units
that
are
changing,
they
will
just
need
to
move
back
into
a
different
two-bedroom.
In
this
section.
A
Okay,
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
sort
of
the
tree
canopy
for
the
space
and
around
the
renovations
and
how
that's
impacted
by
this
particular
project.
F
Yeah
sure
and
I'm
trying
to
I
should
have
had
this
handy,
but,
yes,
we
do
have
a
a
tree
preservation
plan.
Overall,
you
can
see
my
cursor
here
this.
This
area
here
is
a
kind
of
identified
in
the
form-based
code.
Is
a
preserve
so
there's
a
lot
of
canopy
here
that
we're
preserving
we've
done
as
much
as
possible
to
limit
impact
to
existing
trees.
F
Here
throughout
the
buildings
and
anything
that
we
are
removing,
we
will
be
replacing
you
know,
per
the
required
ratios
on
site
and
actually
adding
more
trees
than
we.
We
would
be
required
to
do.
A
Okay,
great,
thank
you
any
other
questions
or
comments
from
commissioners.
A
Okay
hearing
none.
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
presentation
again
really
appreciate
the
fact
that
you're
working
with
the
county
to
add
additional
bedroom
sizes.
A
You
know
as
part
of
this
renovation
and
definitely
looking
forward
to
the
discussion
in
September
about
some
deeper
affordability,
Provisions
for
the
site
and
what
that
could
look
like,
because
I
know,
that's
something
that
is
desperately
needed
within
Arlington
County
and
our
our
cath
portfolio.
Thank
you.
B
E
Question
this
was
listed
as
a
as
an
action
item,
I'm
not
sure
if
the
Housing
Commission
wants
to
take
a
motion
on
on
the
use.
Permit
recommendation,
which
was
the
staff
recommendation,
is
to
approve
the
subject.
Use
permit
I'll,
move
that
up
to
you.
A
Yep,
that
is
thank
you
for
that
reminder.
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
or
to
recommend
approval
of
the
the
East
permit
request.
D
A
Haley,
let's
do
roll
call,
let's
start
with
commissioner
Blake.
B
H
H
A
You,
commissioner,
Escobar.
B
D
A
I
think
absent
I
vote
Yes,
commissioner
mcgilvray.
I
B
G
A
A
Great
okay,
I
think
moving
on
to
the
next
agenda
item.
We
have
a
information
report
about
the
home
ownership
study.
K
Great
thanks,
Kellen
and
I
think
Karen
was
going
to
kick
off
the
conversation
since
she
is
the
leader
of
our
homeownership
subcommittee.
D
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
so
I
just
want
to
remind
a
couple
of
of
you,
and
also
some
of
you
that
are
new
to
the
commission.
Just
quickly
with
the
purpose
of
the
homeownership
study
is
again
it's
to
provide
input
to
the
Housing,
Commission
and
staff
on
the
direction
of
the
County's
homeownership
program.
D
So
this
the
subcommittee
myself
Mike
heminger,
who
we're
both
on
the
on
the
Housing
Commission,
but
we
have
three
others
who
are
public.
We
have
Nicole
Merlene.
We
have
Richard
Donahoe
and
Mike
spots,
so
we
have
all
been
part
of
the
meetings
we
have
been
giving
our
input
and
feedback,
and
so
we
are
really
excited
that
we
are
now
in
the
public
engagement
part
of
this
study.
So,
yes,
Caitlin,
take
please
take
over.
K
Thanks
Karen,
so
yeah
I'm,
just
gonna
provide
a
quick
update
about
where
we
are
with
the
homeownership
study,
how
we
got
here
and
where
we're
going
again,
my
name
is
Caitlin
Jones
I'm,
a
planner
in
the
Arlington
County
housing
division
and
I've
been
working
with
a
group
of
staff
from
the
housing
division
and
our
Communications
team
to
spearhead
this
first
ever
Arlington
County
homeownership
study,
where
we're
as
Karen
mentioned,
really
trying
to
improve
what
we're
currently
offering
as
it
relates
to
home
ownership
support.
K
K
But
the
ultimate
goal
of
the
study
is
to
develop
recommendations
that
either
recommend
improvements
to
what
we're
currently
doing
or
distinguishes
new
program
ideas
to
better
meet
the
vision
and
goals
of
the
community
and
create
our
homeownership
outcomes
for
people
of
color
and
underserved
populations,
as
well
as
increases
available
resources
for
existing
homeowners.
K
So
this
is
just
a
quick
snapshot
of
each
of
the
phases
of
the
homeownership
study
and
where
we
currently
are
in
the
process.
So,
as
Karen
mentioned,
we're
in
our
community
engagement
phase,
where
we're
hoping
to
create
a
Clear,
Vision
and
goals
for
our
home
ownership
programs,
but
as
far
as
recapping,
what
we
did
in
phase
one.
We
kicked
off
with
a
where
we
looked
at
existing
data
on
home
ownership
Trends.
K
This
included
looking
at
mortgage
financing,
Trends
purchase
barriers,
housing
costs,
burden
of
existing
owners
and
other
data.
The
report
was
released
in
October
of
2022
and
it's
an
analysis
of
our.
It's
called
the
analysis
of
home
ownership,
housing
and
barriers
to
homeownership
in
Arlington,
County
I've,
linked
them
in
this
PowerPoint
and
I'm.
I
know
that
the
slides
will
be
sent
around
and
after
the
meeting.
So
if
you
do
get
a
chance,
I
would
highly
recommend
looking
at
that,
there's
not
a
lot
of
great
data
in
there.
We
also
focus
on
analyzing.
K
Our
current
programs
performance
and
just
the
history
of
who's
participated
the
demographics
of
those
who
are
participating
and
where
how
we've
been
doing
with
what
we're
currently
offering
this
report
was
released
in
February
of
2023,
and
we
also
in
partnership
with
a
consultant
that
we
contracted
throughout
with
grow
throughout
the
course
of
the
study,
hosted
five
round
table
tables
and
focus
groups
over
the
course
of
February
and
March
to
better
understand
the
needs
of
specific
populations,
as
it
relates
to
either
potent
purchasing
homes
in
the
county
or
and
also
maintaining
their
homes.
K
There
were
no
more
than
10
participants
in
each
round
table
or
focus
group,
so
we
really
wanted
to
create
an
intimate
environment
for
folks
to
kind
of
discuss
there,
the
barriers
that
they
faced
and
some
of
their
personal
issues
and
the
sessions
targeted,
condo
owners,
mortgage
lenders,
perspective
and
recent
home
buyers,
older
adults
and
real
estate
brokers.
K
As
far
as
who
participated,
there
was
a
diversity
in
the
ages
of
homeowners,
except
for
the
older
adults
Roundtable,
where
all
the
participants
ranged
between
80
or
60
and
89
years
of
age.
There
was
a
diversity
in
gender.
Most
of
the
their
most
of
the
round
tables
had
both
female
and
male
participants.
The
majority
of
participants
in
the
round
tables
were
those
who
identified
as
either
as
white
as
far
as
our
race
and
ethnicity,
except
for
the
perspective
and
recent
home
buyers
Roundtable,
where
six
of
the
seven
participants
were
non-white.
K
A
summary
report
that
details
the
major
trends
that
were
our
drives
for
these
roundtables
was
released
in
May
of
this
year
and
just
the
trends
that
we
identified
through
this
work
helped
to
sort
of
narrow
the
focus
of
the
homeownership
study
and
has
sort
of
guided
us
as
we
move
into
this
broader
Community
engagement
phase.
K
So
this
is
just
a
quick
snapshot
of
as
we
move
into
phase
two
where
we
are
in
the
community.
Engagement
are
sort
of
our
Outreach
period
and
where,
where
we
are
now,
is
we're
beginning
to
consult
the
community
on
developing
vision
and
goals
for
the
County's,
homeownership
programs,
and
so
how
we're
doing
this
is
we
established
a
online
feedback
tool?
That's
been
open,
it
was
open
all
the
month
of
June
and
the
first
week
of
July.
K
It
actually
closes
tomorrow
until
the
basically,
this
online
feedback
tool
asks
residents
to
weigh
in
on
the
role
of
local
government
in
providing
home
ownership,
support,
there's
only
four
questions,
so
it's
super
easy
to
fill
out,
but
as
of
today,
there
were
863,
unique
participants.
K
38
of
the
respondents
identified
as
a
race
or
ethnicity,
other
than
white
45
of
respondents
were
60
years
or
older.
84
currently
live
in
Arlington
and
72
percent
of
respondents
are
existing
Arlington
homeowners.
23
are
renters.
12
of
respondents
were
our
existing
condo
owners
and
there
was
a
vast
array
of
all
of
the
ZIP
codes
in
Arlington.
County
were
represented
in
the
survey,
but
the
majority
of
the
responses
were
from
the
ZIP
codes
of
22207
22204
and
22201.
K
So
that's
just
a
little
bit
about
who
participated
in
the
survey
as
far
as
how
we
got
the
word
out
about
the
the
online
feedback
opportunity
we
conducted
Outreach
to
you
know
through
our
typical
social
media
and
other
traditional
County
Outreach
tools,
but
we
also
held
several
pop-up
events
throughout
the
month
of
June
to
sort
of
meet
people
where
they
were
in
the
community
and
try
to
try
to
encourage
feedback.
That
way.
K
So
we
had
originally
planned
11
events,
but
three,
unfortunately,
were
canceled
due
to
the
Terrible
Weather
that
we
had
in
June
and
into
July.
So
that
was
unfortunate,
but
through
these
pop
events
that
we
did
were
able
to
hold,
we
had
over
150
unique
participants
at
those
at
those
locations
and
it
ranged
from
we
went
to
some
festivals.
We
visited
some
high
areas
with
high
foot
traffic
in
certain.
K
At
certain
times
of
the
day,
we
visited
a
couple
calf
properties,
so
we
were
really
trying
to
spread
out
and
capture
a
broad
range
of
feedback.
We
also
relied
heavily
on
Direct
Outreach
to
our
partners
and
stakeholders,
and
also
homeownership
subcommittee
members
to
increase
participation.
K
We
conducted
Outreach
to
over
80
individuals
and
organizations
to
try
to
get
them
to
share
the
information
with
their
networks
and
to
increase
participation
in
our
engagement
efforts
so
because
the
survey
closes
or
the
feedback
form
closes
tomorrow,
we
haven't,
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
all
the
data
quite
yet,
but
our
plan
is
for
we
have
a
homeownership
subcommittee
work
session
scheduled
for
next
July
next
Tuesday
July
11th
and
we're
planning
to
share
the
results
of
that
feedback
opportunity
at
this
meeting,
and
the
purpose
of
this
meeting
is
to
use
the
feedback
derived
from
this
online
form
to
begin
establishing
a
vision,
statement
and
goals
in
in
with
support
from
the
subcommittee
homeownership
subcommittee
members,
so
that
again,
that
meeting
is
taking
place
next
Tuesday
at
the
lubber
run
Community
Center
and
we're
hoping
that
we'll
have
some
good
participation
from
our
subcommittee
members
and
that
will
be
able
to
start
really
focusing
in
on
creating
a
vision
statement
and
some
and
goals
for
the
homeownership
programs.
K
K
And
so,
as
we
move
forward
out
of
the
community
engagement
phase
into
phase
three,
we'll
we're
going
to
be
focusing
on
creating
our
program
recommendations
as
we
get
into
August
and
September,
and
the
purpose
of
the
the
recommendations
that
we
are
looking
at
in
we're
working
in
collaboration
with
our
consultant
hrna.
To
start
thinking.
Think
through
these
recommendations.
But
we
wanted
them
to
take
into
consideration
the
following
things.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
how
the
program's
recommendations
can
be
targeted
to
certain
underrepresented
groups.
K
What
the
return
on
investment
and
financial
feasibility
of
their
proposed
program,
modifications
and
new
programs
could
be.
What
are
the
resources
needed
to
implement
the
proposed
program,
modifications
and
new
programs?
Are
there
any
funding
opportunities
that
are
available
to
support
the
recommendations
and
how
do
we
prioritize
what
we're
recommending
and
then
we're
hoping
to
supplement
these
recommendations
with
case
studies,
to
provide
examples
for
how
the
recommendations
can
be
implemented
moving
forward
so
moving
into
the
fall
of
this
year?
K
Once
the
draft
program
recommendations
are
available,
County
staff
is
planning
to
further
engage
Community
stakeholders
and
partners
to
ensure
that
there's
awareness
of
where
we
are
with
the
study,
as
well
as
engagement
outcomes
and
the
intended
program
recommendations,
so
we're
going
to
be
coming
back
to
the
Housing
Commission
later
this
into
the
fall
and,
of
course,
what
we'll
be
working
with
the
homeowner
subcommittee
to
refine
the
recommendations,
but
we'll
also
want
to
reach
out
to
the
Commission
on
Aging,
disability,
advisory
committee,
NAACP,
Arlington,
Branch,
their
housing
committee
and
then
any
other
groups
that
have
expressed
an
interest
in
the
process
as
we
up
until
this
point.
K
So,
as
far
as
how
you
can
stay
involved
in
the
process,
make
sure
that
you're
you
provide
feedback
through
on
what
the
role
of
local
government
in
providing
homeownership
support
should
be
through
our
online
feedback
tool.
Again,
it's
it
closes
tomorrow.
K
So
if
you
haven't
already
feel
free
to
do
that,
you're
also
more
than
welcome
to
attend
either
of
the
upcoming
Community
meetings
that
we
have
versus
on
July
11th,
like
I,
said
next
Tuesday
the
homeownership
subcommittee
work
session
at
leper,
run
Community
Center
and
then
on
July
22nd,
the
community
workshop
at
Walter
Reed.
K
You
know
we
encourage
you
to
stay
engaged
throughout
the
process
and
just
please
share
information
with
your
networks.
If
you
know
of
somebody,
your
friend,
your
neighbor,
your
work,
colleagues
that
would
be
interested
in
this,
you
know
please
make
sure
that
they're
that
they
are
aware
and
that
they
are
engaged
in
the
process
as
we
move
forward
so
I
think
that's
it
and
I
will
turn
it
over.
If
there
are
any
questions.
A
Thank
you,
Caitlin
appreciate
the
presentation
and
the
work
of
the
subcommittee
as
well
as
County
staff
I.
Think
I
may
have
brought
this
up
in
probably
one
of
the
subcommittee
meetings
before,
but
has
staff
been
able
to
talk
to
DC
about
the
black
homeownership
fund
that
they're
working
to
start
and
I
know?
Dc
has
a
lot
of
like
pretty
robust
home
ownership
programs
in
place.
A
Are
we
looking
at
sort
of
those
programs
as
potential
models
that
Arlington
can
can
replicate,
depending
on
what
we
have
the
authority
or
the
ability
to
do
in
Virginia
just
curious?
If
you
could
provide
a
little
bit
more
information
and
context
on
how
much
we've
explored
what
DC
has
in
place.
L
Yeah
I'm
akiria
Brown
also
with
the
housing
division
working
with
Caitlyn
on
this
project.
So
we
have
had
brief
conversations
with
our
colleagues
in
DC.
We
would
certainly
like
to
have
longer
conversations,
but
at
this
point
it's
just
been
a
lot
of
touch
and
go
in
terms
of
our
schedules,
but
what
we
do
know
through
those
brief
conversations
is
that
there
is
a
lot
of
private
fun
associated
with
the
programs
that
directly
assist
black
households
to
purchase,
or
at
least
anticipated
for
this
initiative
that
mayor
Bowser
has
put
into
place.
L
So
we
know
that
that
is
that's
a
really
really
major
aspect
to
what
they
are
hoping
to
offer,
but
I
think
also.
We
are
looking
at
a
lot
of
what
their
programs
are
able
to
do,
in
particular
the
tiered
approach.
L
I
know
they
have
a
tiered
approach,
where
there's
more
assistance
provided
to
households
of
lower
income
and
assistance,
albeit
a
bit
less
for
households
that
have
higher
incomes,
so
I
think
things
like.
That
would
certainly
be
a
part
of
what
we're
looking
at
in
the
future
for
our
programs,
but
again
they're
they're,
no
specific
programs
that
we
are
ready
to
put
in
place
beyond
ensuring
that
we
have
those
conversations
and
getting
that
feedback
from
the
consultant.
A
Thank
you,
kyria.
Have
we
also
looked
at
like
public-private
Partnerships
and
potential
organizations,
either
in
Arlington
or
the
Metro
region
as
options,
whether
it's
grant
funding
or
other
sources
Beyond,
just
like
taxpayer
dollars
and
because
I
know,
there's
more
flexibility
when
it
comes
to
private
dollars
and
what
they
can
be
used
for,
especially
when
it
comes
to
programs
specifically
for
like
residents
of
color.
L
At
the
end,
Caitlyn,
you
can
jump
in,
but
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
know
that
we
are
as
a
government
entity,
possibly
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
all
of
the
the
recommendations
ourselves
in
terms
of
implementation,
and
so
there
will
be
opportunities
for
us
to
reach
out
and
try
to
figure
out.
K
Yeah
I
I
think
that's
important
to
emphasize
that
you
know
through
this
process
we're
we're.
Look
we're
really
going
to
be
looking
for
a
menu
of
options
that
we
can
present
as
ways
to
improve
what
we're
currently
doing,
there's
going
to
be
some
implementation
work
that
will
be
required
after
the
recommendations
are
made
to
really
hone
in
on
how
we
can
actually
improve
what
we're
doing
are
create
new
programs.
K
So
I
think
you
know
I
just
want
to
make
that
really
clear
that
when
we
get
to
the
final,
you
know
the
the
deliverable
from
this
study.
It's
not
going
to
be
an
immediate
fix,
we'll
have
to
kind
of
identify.
You
know
what
can
we
do?
You
know
what
are
the
what's
the
low
hanging
fruit?
What
can
we
do
now?
What
can
we
do?
K
A
Thank
you
and
I
I
did
have
a
follow-up
question,
I
think
as
part
of
the
County's
budget
guidance.
A
M
All
right,
kill
and
I'll
I'll
answer
that
I'm
Richard
Tucker
I'm,
the
housing
Arlington
coordinator,
also
working
on
this
study,
separate
from
the
homeownership
study,
will
be
a
pilot,
affordable,
missing
middle
program
that
we
will
look
to
kick
off
in
the
beginning
of
next
year.
So
we
anticipate,
as
this
comes
to
a
close
at
the
end
of
the
year,
we'll
be
able
to
provide
more
information
about
that.
M
That
was
the
request
from
the
board
I
believe
at
the
March
or
may
meeting
that
they're
running
together
for
me
now,
but
a
couple
of
months
ago,
the
the
board
requested
that
we
come
back
to
them
and
outlined
how
such
a
program
might
get
started.
So
we'll
do
that
by
the
end
of
the
year.
M
A
You
Richard
other
questions
feedback
from
commissioners.
H
G
Yes,
yes,
I
have
a
question
so
I
know
you
that
sounds
like
you
had
a
pretty
thorough
process
for
trying
to
get
feedback
from
the
community.
I
was
just
wondering
in
that
process,
especially
with
the
survey.
Were
you
able
to
reach
out
to
organizations
of
underrepresented
populations
to
make
sure
that
they
were
being
heard
in
the
survey.
K
Yeah,
so
even
before
we
released
the
survey,
we
created
a
Outreach
plan
that
tried
to
do
just
that
is
sort
of
making
sure
that
we're
reaching
out
to
organizations
that
are
supporting
individuals
that
are
either
looking
to
get
into
the
homeownership
space
or
in
the
homeownership
space
currently,
and
are
you
know,
maybe
struggling
to
maintain
their
home
ownership
or
even
just
underrepresented
populations
in
general,
in
the
homeownership
market?
K
So
you
know
we,
and
that
was
definitely
part
of
our
Outreach
plan.
It
was
a
list
of
about
80
organizations
that
are
active
in
in
Arlington.
Specifically
thank.
G
A
Thank
you,
Katie,
any
other
questions
or
feedback
from
members
of
the
commission.
A
Okay,
well
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
again
as
well
as
Karen
and
the
rest
of
the
subcommittee
for
their
hard
work
on
this.
This
is
incredibly
important
and
something
that
I
feel
very
strongly
about.
I
think
Arlington's.
Existing
programs
are
great,
but
they
help
very
few
people,
and
the
need
is
they
need
is
thousands
of
people,
and
so
we
right
now
are
not
even
coming
close
to
meeting
that
so
I
think
taking
a
look
at
what
can?
A
What
tools
can
we
offer
to
both
give
people
a
pathway
to
homeownership,
as
well
as
keep
people
who
already
have
homes?
You
know
secure
in
their
homes
is
incredibly
important
and
I
really
look
forward
to
seeing
what
comes
out
of
this.
So
thank
you
all
again
for
that.
A
Thank
you.
So
next
we
have
an
information
presentation
about
the
housing,
Choice
voucher,
weightless
being
opened
a
rare
occurrence
in
Arlington
and
pretty
much
everywhere
else
in
the
country.
O
Yes,
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name-
is
Vanessa
street
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
Arlington's
housing,
Choice
voucher
program,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
us
to
share
what
we
think
is
very
important:
information
for
our
low
and
moderately
low
income
families.
We
have
a
relatively
short
presentation,
but
we
want
to
give
everyone
an
ideal
about
the
process
that
we're
planning
and
I'm
going
and
I
will
rejoin
Tynan.
At
the
end,
this
is
Todd
and
Stevenson
I'm.
Sorry,
he
works
with
Arlington
Housing
Choice
program
as
a
special
programs
coordinator.
O
N
Hi
everyone,
as
Vanessa
said
my
name
is
Shane
Stevenson.
This
is
going
to
be
a
pretty
short
informational
overview
and
you
still
don't
have
all
the
details
completely
firm,
but
trying
to
keep
you
know
all
that
the
public
and
the
loop
broadly
so
yeah
I'm
gonna,
get
started
with
just
some
some
sort
of
background
information
on
the
program.
So
the
Arlington
Housing
Choice
voucher
program
is
sort
of
the
title
that
refers
to
the
county
staff
that
manage
our
federally
funded.
N
The
county
is
federally
funded
housing
assistance
programs,
that's
a
spread
of
programs
funded
by
Hud
at
the
federal
level,
so
we're
the
local
component
that
manages
and
ministers
those
programs
we're
a
component
of
the
housing
assistance
Bureau
within
DHS
Department
of
Human
Services.
N
The
core
program
that
we
administer
is
the
housing,
Choice
Voucher,
Program
sort
of
the
blanket
program,
and
that's
what
we're
talking
about
this
evening.
It's
formerly
known
as
Section
8
and
it's
the
largest
housing
subsidy
program
in
the
nation.
It's
present
in
pretty
much
every
jurisdiction
or
locality
Across,
the
Nation,
we're
not
talking
about
our
special
purpose,
voucher
programs
and
those
include
say:
mainstream
Vash,
which
might
serve
specific
populations
like
veterans
or
or
the
disabled.
N
In
total,
we
administer
through
the
the
core
program
through
the
housing,
Choice
Voucher
Program,
roughly
1,
554
vouchers.
That's
a
that's
a
rough
estimate,
it
changes
and
fluctuates.
But
that's
you
know
pretty
much
an
equivalent
number
of
households
across
the
county
and
we
serve
a
diverse
cross-section
of
households
in
every
corner
of
Arlington
County.
N
So
this
is
background
on
on
the
wait
list.
So
the
way
voucher
programs
function
is
there's
way
way
more
demand
than
there
is
Supply
housing.
Assistance
at
the
federal
level
is
not
an
entitlement.
N
Entitlement
of
these
say
food
stamps.
Basically,
everyone
qualifies
for
food
stamps
gets
food
stamps
that
housing
subsy
doesn't
really
work
like
that.
Instead
or
programs
maintain
wait,
lists
of
of
eligible
households
and
then,
as
new
vouchers
become
available,
the
the
the
existing
the
the
folks,
the
households
on
the
existing
wait
list
are
moved
up
and
provided
their
voucher,
which
represents
the
that
that
recurring
assistance
that
housing
subsidy,
so
it's
required
by
Hud,
there's
no
way
around
it.
We
have
to
maintain
a
wait
list.
N
It's
how
the
program
is
structured
at
the
federal
level
So.
Currently
we
so
basically
we
open
the
waitlist
intermittently
when
we
start
to
exhaust
it.
Usually
once
every
decade
or
two
very
intermittently
and
a
one
wait
list
opening
will
be
enough
to
supply
the
program
with
eligible
households
for
years
to
come.
We've.
So,
as
you
can
see
on
the
slide.
The
last
time
the
the
standard
hcv
program
wait
list
was
opened
was
in
2012.
N
since
that
time,
we've
nearly
depleted
our
program
wait
list,
which
means
that
all
the
folks
who
got
on
that
wait
list
at
the
time
that
basically
have
either
been
served
or
were
deemed
to
no
longer
qualify
for
assistance
by
the
time
they
arrived
at
the
top
and
were
eligible
through
death
or
growth
of
income
Etc.
Thus,
it's
time
to
replenish
it.
If
we
don't,
we
will
be
out
of
compliance
federally
and
we
won't
have
new
households
to
provide
the
assistance
that
were
supplied
by
the
federal
government.
N
Recently
in
2021
we
successfully
opened
our
new
mainstream
Voucher
Program
wait
list
for
a
new,
the
new
mainstream
Voucher
Program,
which
is
also
a
HUD
funded
housing
subsidy
program.
It
functions
very
similar
similarly
to
the
standard
hcv
program,
but
that's
targeted
specifically
at
the
disabled.
That
opening
was.
It
was
a
very
small
handful
of
vouchers.
It
was
a
one-day
event.
N
Basically,
we
had
staff
Who
provided
technical
assistance.
We
had
electronic
and
physical
application
processes
available
and
that
filled
our
mainstream
wait
list.
N
N
Another
piece,
oh
I'll,
stay
here
for
a
second
another
piece
of
this
is
the
last
time
in
2012.
When
we
opened
the
standard
hcv
wait
list,
we
had
a
first
come
first
serve
model
and
that
basically
meant
that
you
had
to
line
up
and
submit
an
application
and
the
the
basically
the
people
who
got
on
the
wait
list
were
the
people
who
applied
the
earliest.
So
it
was,
you
know
if
you
came
too
late.
N
If
you,
you
know
you're
out
of
luck,
it
was
just
for
first,
come
first
serve
we've
transitioned
to
a
lottery
model
this
time
around
and
that
what
that
means
is
basically
all
the
folks
who
are
who
are
going
to
apply
within
the
period
of
time
in
which
the
wait
list
is
open
for
applications.
N
We're
going
to
take
all
those
applications,
we're
getting
corporate
preferences
and
then
we're
going
to
conduct
a
lottery
for
we're
talking
right
now,
we're
in
5,
000,
folks
and
and
that
creates
a
more
Equitable
process,
isn't
just
the
folks
who
happen
to
be
able
to
show
up
which
obviously
a
first
come
first
serve
model
tends
to
to
privilege
those
who
might
have
your
children.
N
N
So
this
is
how
the
hcv
program
fits
in
at
the
top.
You
can
see
two
core
County
run
programs,
Department,
Supportive,
Housing
and
housing
grants
program,
because
those
are
locally
funded,
they're,
a
bit
more
flexible,
we
kind
of
decide
how
they
run.
The
hcv
program
is
federally
regulated,
so
there's
specific
federal
regulations
that
we
have
to
comply
with.
It's
not
funded
with
County
dollars.
N
Certain
aspects
of
administration
are
but
the
actual
assistance
isn't
at
all,
and
so
you
can
think
of
the
hcv
program
as
sort
of
a
foundation
and
then
more
specialized
forms
of
assistance
are.
Are
you
know
those
that
need
is
filled
in
through
other
programs,
more
flexible
dollars?
A
core
requirement
of
the
hcv
program
is
that
you
have
to
have
a
U.S
citizen
in
the
household.
N
It's
because
it's
Federal
money.
We
can't
control
that,
but
housing
grants
and
other
County
run
programs
are
a
lot
more
flexible
and
that
sort
of
thing
but
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
give
the
the
commission
the
public
a
sense
of
where
this
fits
in.
We
do
our
best
to
sort
of
support
it
through
these
other
County
and
and
special
purpose
voucher
programs.
N
So
this
is
a
slide.
I
threw
in
really
last
minute,
but
I
realized
going
through
it'd
probably
be
a
good
idea
to
give
everyone
a
sense
of
who
qualifies
for
the
program.
Income
eligibility
for
the
housing
Choice
voucher
program
is
determined
every
year
by
Hud.
So
this
is
the
current
limits.
N
It
HUD
calculates
these
numbers
for
localities.
So
it's
custom,
yeah,
75
percent
of
program
participants
at
any
given
time
must
be
extremely
low
income
for
the
area.
The
other
25
percent
must
be
very
low
income.
You
can
see
below
what
that
chart
means
family
size
of
one
in
Arlington,
County,
extremely
low
income
is
thirty
one
thousand
six
hundred
fifty
dollars
a
year
up
to
six
a
family
size
of
six.
That
would
be
fifty
two
thousand
four
hundred
fifty
dollars
a
year.
N
I
think
in
terms
of
Ami,
the
extremely
low
is
30
percent
and
very
lowest
50
percent,
but
I,
don't
remember
for
sure
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I'm
fairly,
certain
that's
how
that
goes.
N
So
these
are
the
summary
of
the
HUD
requirements
that
were
required
to
comply
with
as
we
go
through
this
process
of
opening
the
wait
list,
so
we
must
proactively.
This
is
these:
are
federal
requirements
and
and
the
sort
of
the
core
of
of
what's
guiding
our
process
and
this
opening
we
must
proactively
notify
the
public
of
the
opening,
ensure
the
notification
contains
all
relevant
information
to
empower
eligible
members
of
the
public
to
apply
and
inquire
turn
notification.
Affirmatively
furthers
fair
housing.
N
So
that
means
you
know
basically
Equitable
marketing.
You
know.
Commission
meetings
like
this
are
part
of
it,
but
we're
also
going
to
be
conducting
a
very
large
marketing
campaign
that
we'll
go
into
later
must
conduct
affirmative,
Outreach
and
marketing
ensure
an
equitable
process.
We
must
interactable
distribution
of
marketing,
Outreach
and
ta
across
geography
and
communities.
That's
not
targeting.
You
know,
Outreach
to
specific.
You
know
neighborhoods
to
try
to
skew
it's.
You
know
you
have
to
make
it
as
open
as
possible.
N
Part
of
how
we
are
going
about
trying
to
make
this
as
accessible
as
possible
is
the
actual
actual
application
system
is
going
to
be
online,
so
people
during
the
opening
period
anyone
can
apply
if
they
have
internet
access,
a
device
that
can
access
the
internet,
but
we're
also
going
to
have
in-person
paper
applications
available
for
folks
who
really
struggle
with
the
application
process.
They
might
be
high
need,
they
might
be
on
Street
Homeless
we're
going
to
have
in-person
ta
technical
assistance
sessions
with
staff
to
help
walk
folks
through
the
actual
process.
N
There's
also
going
to
be
reasonable
accommodation
available
for
folks
who
have
specific
needs,
there's
going
to
be
a
route
to
accessing
reasonable
accommodations
in
the
application
process.
Us
preferences,
so
preferences
are
a
key
part
of
how
housing
Choice
voucher
programs
work.
Each
program
gets
power
over
the
preferences
that
they
incorporate.
Basically,
a
preference
is
used
to
wait.
Households
for
access,
so
something
to
remember
about
this
program
is
it's
Federal,
so
anyone
can
apply
from
across
the
entire
country
right
who
is
a
U.S
citizen
or
as
a
U.S
citizen
in
their
household?
N
That
means
that
you
know,
we
can't
just
say
only
arlingtonians,
or
only
folks
in
the
region
can
apply
so
instead
how
we
try
to
make
up
for
that
and
sure
that
the
local
folks
have
a
shot
at
assistance
is
through
preferences.
So
five
preferences
used
in
Waiting
the
lottery
so
once
again
folks
submit
their
application.
N
That
goes
into
a
lottery
at
the
end
of
that
that
application
period
and
that's
how
we
actually
cultivate
that
wait,
list
live
or
work
in
Arlington,
it's
going
to
be
a
preference,
so
how
this
might
work
in
theory
and
remember
the
lottery.
It's
all
going
to
be
digitally
done.
It's
not
like
we're
playing
bingo,
but
how
this
can
this
works
in
theory
is
if
you
meet
these
preferences
and
be
like
getting,
you
know,
two
applications,
three
applications
that
sort
of
thing.
N
At
least
that's
that's
my
recollection!
So
if
you
live
or
work
in
Arlington
County,
you
get
that's
a
preference
if
you're
homeless,
that's
a
preference,
if
you're
a
victim
of
domestic
violence,
if
you're
a
disabled
household
that
qualifies
for
permanent
Supportive
Housing
or
if
you're,
an
individual
or
household
with
disabilities
that
would
qualify
under
the
Olmsted
act,
that's
also
a
preference,
so
you
get
benefit
preference
in
in
the
application
process.
N
So
this
is
a
pro
the
project
summary
and
Status.
We
created
an
internal
project
plan
that
we've
been
following
for
the
past
couple
of
months.
We
secured
approval
of
that
internal
plan
from
DHS
and
County
leadership.
It's
a
living
document.
N
This
is
an
evolving
an
evolving
process,
but
we've
had
some
some
internal
guides
as
we've
started
to
develop
the
actual
deliverables
we're
going
to
need
to
make
this
thing
happen,
we've
organized
an
advisory
committee
consisting
of
DHS
Department
of
Human
Services
contacts,
and
we
meet
monthly
we've
been
meeting
monthly
since
April
that's
to
coordinate
efforts
across
DHS
yeah.
N
This
is
really
important
because
we
have
a
lot
of
programs
at
DHS
with
a
lot
of
clients
in
the
community
who
will
qualify
for
this
program
could
qualify
for
this
program,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
conducting
Outreach
in
an
equitable,
proactive
manner.
This
is
also
key
in
US,
organizing
facilities
when
this
actually
happens,
we're
hoping
for
early
fall
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
site
for
staff
provided
ta,
for
example,
and
as
well
as
as
routes
for
accessing
reasonable
accommodations.
N
So
we've
created
a
marketing
plan
and
we've
secured
contacts,
accounting
facilities
for
flyer
distribution.
So
this
is
going
to.
This
is
a
key
piece
of
marketing.
The
marketing
plan,
which
we've
developed
in
coordination
with
our
advisory
committee,
seeks
to
ensure
Equitable
Outreach
right,
just
like
Hudson,
you
know
requires
so
this
targets,
local
businesses
like
starbuckses
and
laundromat,
laundromats,
affordable
housing
providers,
service
providers
and
non-profits
Community
facilities,
no
nursing
homes
and
rehabilitation
facilities,
and
specifically,
the
organizations
that
manage
those
facilities.
N
So
it's
a
large
spreadsheet
with
contact
information
that
we've
tracked
down
as
well
as
Faith
communities.
I
forgot
to
put
that
on
DHS
is
a
massive
standing,
Faith
organization
spreadsheet
that
we're
going
by,
and
basically
this
is
going
to
allow
us
to
to
blast
Outreach
out
to
the
community
with
flyers
for
distribution.
N
Press
release
that's
going
to
go
out
through
the
county
when
we're
ready
to
to
announce
final
dates
and
when
we
have
a
website
up,
that's
going
to
go
out
to
around
1500
media
providers
across
the
region
and
we're
also
going
to
include
that
when
we're
coordinating
Outreach
with
with
non-profits
and
service
providers,
there's
going
to
be
information
up
in
the
schools
through
Arlington
Public,
School,
social
work,
basically,
flyers
on
information
boards
throughout
County
facilities,
libraries
as
well
that
sort
of
thing
we've
drafted
a
marketing
flyer,
we're
finalizing
it
currently
in
coordination
with
our
advisory
committee,
we've
also
created
an
application
tutorial.
N
It's
a
video
that
walks
folks
through
and
walks
providers
service
providers
through
how
to
actually
submit
an
application
through
our
online
portal
and
we've
also
created
a
large
frequently
asked
questions
document
that
that
is
more
intended
to
be
sort
of
this
for
the
public
walk
folks
through
what
the
program
is,
what
the
wait
list
is
how
the
lottery
works.
That
sort
of
thing
we're
currently
organizing
a
lived
experience
working
session.
N
That's
going
to
be
with
current
former
program
participants,
a
goal
of
that
is
going
to
be
to
have
folks
fill
out
an
application
and
try
to
see
what
what
points
of
difficulty
there
might
be
that
we
might
want
to
develop
more
guidance
around
we're
trying
to
make
this
as
accessible
a
process
as
possible.
N
We're
currently
developing
a
draft
web
page
and
press
release.
The
press
release
will
go
out
and
or
probably
in
a
few
weeks
around
three
weeks
before
the
actual
opening,
and
then
we'll
probably
follow
it
up
with
the
second
press
release
as
well
shortly
before
the
opening
of
the
application
period.
Remember
that,
basically,
as
many
people
who
want
to
apply
and
qualify
to
apply,
will
be
able
to
apply,
there's
no
limit
on
the
number
of
applications.
So
it's
just
about
trying
to
get
as
many
people
to
apply
as
possible.
N
We're
planning
for
the
opening
to
occur
like
I,
said
in
early
fall,
probably
about
a
week's
time
to
give
people
as
much
of
a
chance
to
apply
as
possible.
We'll
likely
plan
it
around
the
weekend
and
another
big
goal
of
ours
is
to
have
a
TA
provided
by
by
County
staff
at
a
County
facility,
hopefully
on
a
weekend
day,
to
give
folks
a
chance
who
work
a
chance
to
come
in
if
they
work
during
the
week,
as
well
as
hopefully
a
second
session.
N
But
another
big
piece
of
this
is
we're
going
to
be
relying
on
our
Continuum
of
Care
Partners,
who
have
been
meeting
with,
and
coordinating
with
and
non-profit
service
providers
to
help
their
clients
in
person
apply
as
well,
because
you
know
we're
limited
as
far
as
staff
actual
County
staff
capacity.
Those.
So
the
goal
is
to
retain
around
5
000
applicants
on
the
wait
list,
so
once
everyone
submits
their
application
and
we
process,
you
know
all
the
preferences
and
everything
you
know.
Basically,
what
comes
out
of
that?
N
That
loggery
is
we're
going
to
retain
around
5000
applicants
on
the
actual
wait
list
going
forward,
and
that
will
be
what
we
run
on
as
a
program
until
it's
depleted
and
we
Circle
back
around
in
a
decade
or
so
and
do
this
process
again.
Unless
the
federal
government
radically
changes
how
this
program
works
and
with
that,
we
have
questions
and
comments,
I
also
there's
a
couple
other
in
this
PowerPoint
contact
and
resources,
but
questions
and
comments
and
I
think
Vanessa
and
I
are
going
to
share
share
responsibility
here.
A
Thank
you
for
the
comprehensive
presentation
and
I
think
as
I
said,
when
I
open
it's
exciting,
to
see
the
waitlist
opening
back
up,
it's
a
rare
event.
I
had
a
couple
questions
just
to
start
us
off
when
it
comes
to
the
Outreach
efforts
have
have
you
looked
at
doing
like
working
with
adps
to
like
send
Flyers
home
and
backpacks,
especially
for
like
Elementary
School
students
and
communicating
through
Flyers
to
parents
of
of
APs
students.
N
That's
a
great
question
so
I've,
basically
I've
emailed
the
director
of
Social
Work,
thus
far.
My
thinking
was
to
trust
the
director
of
Social
Work,
to
distribute
and
to
know
how
best
to
distribute.
That
said,
that's
definitely
an
idea.
I
can
throw
out
there
to
them
specifically
call
that
out
I'm
not
familiar
with
how
APS
sort
of
runs
that
sort
of
community
outreach,
but
I
appreciate
that
comment
and
I'll
definitely
make
sure
to
include
that
in
future.
Outreach.
A
Thank
you
and
if
you
could
provide
any
more
contacts
around
Outreach
to
specific
demographic
groups,
so
thinking
like
people
with
limited
English
proficiency,
you
know
if
you're
able
to
Target
by
race,
ethnicity
by
you,
know
going
to
certain
communities
and
and
making
sure
that
you're
having
a
presence
or
what.
What
that
looks
like.
Knowing
that
you
know
different
groups
within
the
county
have
different
levels
of
access
to
information
and
ability
to
you
know,
find
out
about
things
like
this
and
also
to
participate.
N
Yeah
definitely
so
that's
been
a
key
thing
that
we've
looked
at
When
developing
our
marketing
plan.
It's
going
to
be
aggressively
Equitable,
so
DHS
maintains
a
list
of
of
partners
that
work
specifically
on
on
immigration.
So,
as
I
said,
you
know
you
have
to
have
a
U.S
citizen
in
your
household,
but
that
doesn't
preclude
immigrant
households,
so
we've
specifically
Incorporated
partner
organizations
that
worked
with
with
immigrant
families.
N
We
have
a
very
comprehensive
Faith,
Community
spreadsheet
that
incorporates
every
single
Faith
institution
in
in
the
county,
with
contact
information
to
try
to
be
as
broad
as
possible
and
then
also
NAACP
of
Arlington
is
included
as
well
as
specific
organizations
that
work
with
domestic
violence,
victims
of
domestic
violence
and
basically
this
disabled
households,
elderly
households
and
a
racial
minority,
ethnic
minority
communities
in
migrant
communities
throughout
the
county.
N
So
DHS,
you
know,
as
an
institution
has
Works
a
ton
across
the
county
with
with
high
need
populations,
and
so
a
lot
of
that
that
work
of
identifying
organizations
has
has
existed
previously
through
previous
efforts,
so
I'm
incorporating
all
of
that
there's
you
know
a
challenge
is
there's.
There's
it's
a
limited
amount
that
we
can
actually
address
the
program.
It's
mostly
about
just
trying
to
get
the
message
out
as
aggressively
as
possible.
A
Thank
you,
Elizabeth.
J
Yeah
I'm
interested
to
hear
more
about
how
you're
going
to
manage
like
managers.
Logistically
I
know
you
said
that
there's
you
know
an
opportunity
to
sign
up
online
and
then
there's
also
going
to
be
forms
that
people
can
complete
like
on
a
you
know,
face-to-face
one-on-one
on
top
of
like
the
Outreach
efforts.
But
how
are
you
going
to
ensure
that
you
know
if
somebody
has
access
to
fill
this
out
online?
Obviously
it's
faster.
It
gets
processed
faster
than
if
somebody
were.
You
know,
waiting
for
an
appointment.
J
N
Yeah,
so
this
was
another
major
focus
of
of
ours
when
you're
doing
our
planning
trying
to
make
it
accessible
to,
for
example,
on
Street
Homeless.
N
So
with
the
online
thing,
that's
that's
the
the
primary
goal,
but
we're
going
to
have
forms
that
we're
going
to
send
out
when
we
train
all
the
non-profit
and
Continuum
of
Care
Service
Providers,
so
that
you
know
Continuum
of
Care,
which
is
run
through
DHS
manages
the
shelters,
manages
on
Street
Homeless
Outreach
organizations
or
coordinates
the
efforts
of
all
of
the
local
non-profits
that
serve
the
most
high
need
on
the
street.
N
Folks
and
those
are
those
organizations
are
going
to
have
physical
forms
to
to
go
out
and
and
actually
gather
applications
from
their
clients,
because
those
organizations
are
managed
to
the
the
Continuum
of
Care
it'll
be
pretty
easy
for
us
to
gather
those
at
the
end
and
then
manually
enter
those
into
the
system
as
far
as
folks
who
don't
have
internet
access
at
home.
N
N
In
addition,
we're
going
to
have
a
facility
or
we're
going
to
have
a
technical
assistance
session,
one
or
two
we're
hoping
for
two
in
which
staff
County
staff
are
actually
going
to
be
providing
in-person
technical
assistance
at
DHS
and
which
is
connected
through
you
know:
public
transit
as
well
so
in-person
assistance
as
well.
J
Yeah,
so
I
would
actually
suggest-
and
you
know
when
you
say
that
you'll
be
providing
information,
saying
that
libraries,
you
know,
have
access
to
computers
and
all
of
that
instead
of
Hosting
or
I
guess
just
like
adding
on
to
the
DHS
technical
assistance
sessions
that
you'll
be
having
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
have
some
of
these
at
the
library,
because
not
everybody
you
know
when
you're
thinking
about
entering
like
a
government
type
building,
not
everybody
is
comfortable
doing
that,
so
finding
those
even
like
Arlington,
Mill,
Community,
Center
or
Walter
Reed
things
like
that,
where
it's
more
approachable
and
people
feel
a
little
bit
more
comfortable
to
go
into
those
buildings.
J
I
think
that
would
help
in
that
Outreach
effort,
because
yeah
I
mean
tell
somebody
to
go
to
DHS.
You
just
think
of
you
know
red
tape
you
think
about
if
people
are
undocumented
or
it's
just
I,
don't
know
from
experience
and,
like
you
know
my
own
family
background,
it's
a
little
cost
of
an
environment
where
you
don't
really
feel
comfortable
walking
in
there.
J
So
I
would
just
you
know,
put
that
out
there
to
find
those
local
community,
centers
and
meeting
spots
where
people
feel
comfortable
to
you
know
speak
about
their
situations
and
all
of
that
yeah.
N
No
I
I
really
appreciate
that
the
the
it
hasn't
actually
been
finalized,
so
I
think
we're
we'll
really
take
that
into
consideration
when
you're
looking
at
scheduling
facilities
for
for
in-person
technical
assistance,
I
appreciate
that
feedback.
O
Yes,
let
me
just
jump
in
for
a
little
bit.
One
thing
in
a
broad,
a
stream
of
things
is
that
you
know
we
do
have
some
experience,
we're
doing
online
portals
from
what
we
did
a
couple
years
ago
for
the
mainstream
program,
and
you
know
we
we
have
seen
not
only
with
our
own
experience
but
with
housing
authorities
across
the
country.
You
know
who've
been
doing
these
online
portals
for
years
now.
It's
just
new
to
Arlington
that
you
know
primarily
a
very
very
large
portion
of
the
population
in
any
Community.
O
Has
the
skill
set
to
take
advantage
of
the
online
portals?
You
know
it's
a
smaller
percent
that
we
want
to
be
very
conscious
of
you
know
we
are
We're,
translating,
for
example,
our
basic
material
into
five
different
languages,
and
that's-
and
you
had
a
very
good
point
there.
You
know
we're
going
to
be
working
very
closely
with
the
community
organizations
that
service
the
different
minority
populations
to
make
sure
that
they
are
knowledge
eligible
of
the
process
so
that
they
could
help
the
people
in
the
community
and
preparing
for
that.
O
You
know
one
of
the
basic
reasons
why
we're
not
sharing
a
date
with
the
with
you
right
now
is
because
we
want
to
be
very
conscientious
that
we
have
taken
care
of
all
the
details,
the
best
that
we
can
so
that
an
extremely
large
portion
of
the
population
won't
have
accessibility,
whether
it's
language,
whether
it's
knowing
how
to
work
with
the
technology,
whether
it's
disabilities,
whatever
it
is
that
we
have
thought
through
those
steps.
But
we
welcome
another
reasons.
J
Just
to
add
on
to
that,
like
I'm,
not
saying
that
they
wouldn't
be,
you
know
able
to
navigate
that
themselves,
but
I'm
thinking
I
mean
even
again.
I'll
just
put
my
own
experience
on
there
when
I
have
to
mail
something
back
or
have
to
fill
out
a
form
like
I
know,
I
postpone
it
so
often,
and
so
just
thinking
about
making
it
like
a
group
activity
where
people
know
that
people
you
know
people
are
getting
together
to
get
these
things
filled
out
and
there's
going
to
be
assistance
like
just
making
that
path
easier.
J
I'm,
not
saying
again,
you
know
if,
if
you
haven't,
if
you've
had
these,
like
proven
like
anecdotes
of
like
it's
easy
to
navigate
a
portal,
that
I
totally
get
that
but
I'm
just
saying
in
terms
of
like
making
it
a
little
easier
for
people
to.
E
J
That
path
where
you
know
they
can
find
that
information
I,
think
that
would
be
worthwhile
to
explore.
A
Is
is
DHS
planning
to
thank
you.
Elizabeth
is
DHS
planning
to
directly
reach
out
to
other
people
like
people,
who've
already
received
assistance
from
DHS
or
the
community
of
care
providers,
I
think
like
Arlington
Thrive,
providing
emergency
rental
assistance
like
there.
We
have
a
list
of
all
the
addresses
of
people
who
have
received
that
assistance.
Are
we
sending
a
letter
directly
to
all
those
people
who
say
I'm
like
hey,
you
needed
emergency
rental
assistance
we
wanted
to.
A
Let
you
know
that
we're
going
to
be
opening
the
wait
list
for
the
housing
Choice
voucher
program
on
such
such
a
date,
because
there's
I.
A
Of
overlap
among
people
that
the
county
has
already
served
through
other
programs
when
it
comes
to
eligibility
criteria
for
programs
like
thousand
Choice
voucher.
Is
that
something
that
counties
thinking
of
just
directly
reaching
out
either
through
phone
or
just
mailing?
O
That
might
be
a
capacity
issue
there.
You
know
to
send
direct
letters
to
everyone.
What
we're
doing
is
we're
reaching
out
to
the
individuals
the
entities
to
actually
are
charged
with
running
these
programs
to
make
sure
that
they
sh
not
first
of
all,
to
make
sure
they
are
very
knowledgeable
that
we
train
them
on
knowing
exactly
how
to
go
through
the
process
and
that
they
take
this
information
into
consideration
with
their
clients
in
those
programs
and
share
the
information
with
their
clients.
O
So
I
don't
know
that
we
will
have
the
capacity
to
do
individual
letters
to
all
everyone,
but
we're
going
to
have
so
much
in
the
marketing
plans
as
far
as
ensuring
that
weather
would
be
on
our
website
or
the
various
marketing
materials
that
tied
in
with
the
that
that
the
word
gets
across
I
mean
even
now.
Anyone
that's
in
this
group.
O
You
know
this
is
a
preliminary
detail
so
that
you
can,
if
we
miss
something
and
during
this
discussion
today,
you
can
reach
back
to
us
and
we
can
provide
you
with
the
information
to
share
with
your
clients
or
or
the
community
organizations
or
or
maybe
there's
one
or
two
or
a
few
places
that
we
have
not
thought
about.
You
know
that
we
would
reach
out
to,
but
but
that's
a
thought,
though,
I'm
going
to
keep
that
in
mind.
I
just
don't
know
how
we
would
have
the
capacity
to
send
individual
letters
to
everyone.
N
Okay,
yeah
I
was
gonna,
say
the
part
of
the
the
coordinating
sort
of
advisory
committee.
We've
assembled
the
internal.
The
DHS
is
to
make
sure
that,
like
we,
the
the
very
small
age,
CVP
staff
are
communicating
with
all
the
other
components
of
DHS
about
the
process
so
that
they
can
do
direct
Outreach
with
their
clients
within
their
program,
which
would
be
very
much
been
encouraging
them
to
do
so.
The
hope
is
all
of
dhs's.
Clients
will
be,
you
know,
informed
by
their
specific
program
staff
as
well.
A
A
Think
that
was
actually
all
rental
renters
in
the
the
county,
about
assistance
being
provided,
but
I
know,
there's
precedent
for
sending
out
direct
letters
and
things
that
people,
but
at
least
those
that
are
already
in
the
system
who've
received
help,
especially
if
it's
need-based
assistance
I,
think
that
could
be
great.
If
that's
something
Arlington
could
do
my
other.
My
other
question
is
for
those
who
are
unsuccessful
in
the
lottery,
which
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of
people.
A
I
think
the
estimates
are.
We
have
at
least
10
000
households
that
are
make
thirty
percent
of
Ami
or
less
and
there's
only
going
to
be
5
000
slots
available.
A
This
is
going
to
be
a
lot
of
people
who
are
unsuccessful
in
the
lottery.
Are
we
either
automatically
assessing
eligibility
for
things
like
housing
grants?
Just
saying
like
hey,
you
weren't
successful
for
the
housing
Choice
voucher,
but
you
do
meet
the
criteria
because
we
collect
I
would
imagine
all
the
same
information
as
as
housing
vouchers
for
housing
grants
and
if
you
would
like,
we
can
give
you
a
housing
Grant,
it's
not
as
as
good
as
a
housing,
Choice
voucher,
but
it's
it's
better
than
nothing
and
if,
in.
A
We
also
sort
of
going
to
be
giving
them
here's
other
programs
that
you
could
be
eligible
for
or
things
that
could
help
you.
You
know,
even
though
you
weren't
chosen
for
this.
Unfortunately,.
O
Yes,
we
did
actually
think
through
that
detail
once
we
select
and
it
may
not
be
five
thousand-
maybe
slightly
less
than
that,
but
it's
going
to
be
around
that
number,
but
the
people
who
don't
make
the
lottery
and
letter
telling
them
that
it
did
not
make
the
lottery
will
include
other
resources.
A
A
O
Can't
quite
do
that,
because
this
is
a
preliminary
application
that
we're
accepting,
so
it
was
just
a
self
declaring
with
their
status
okay,
so
we
can't
say
that
they're
technically
eligible
at
that
point
once
they
really
are
pulled
up
from
the
waiting
list
and
we
will
start
the
formal
eligibility
process.
Okay,
so,
okay.
N
Yeah,
every
every
every
every
process
because
of
the
the
the
structure
of
the
federal
requirements.
Every
time
we
verify
eligibility,
it's
a
it's,
a
very
in-depth
process
of
a
staff
person
sitting
down
going
through
a
federally
a
required
eligibility
system.
You
know
so
we'll
have
guidance
and
I.
Think
in
that
follow-up
letter
we're
going
to
say
hey.
If
your
income
is
below
you
know,
here's
the
income
requirements,
then
you
should
you
should
qualify,
but
we
won't
be
able
to
guarantee
that.
H
A
A
Anyways,
even
if
that's
something
that
happens
after
this
goes
live
and
after
the
lottery,
when
staff
has
a
bit
more
time,
but.
A
Because,
obviously,
for
low-income
folks,
the
amount
of
time
and
effort
they
have
to
put
into
applying
for
many
different
programs
just
to
meet
basic
needs
is
a
huge
burden
on
them.
So
anything
that
the
county
can
do
to
reduce.
You
know
that
time
spent
and
energy
spent
sharing
the
same
information
over
and
over
again
to
apply
for
different
programs
would
would
certainly
be
helpful.
A
Any
other
questions
or
feedback
from
commissioners.
G
A
Okay,
great
well,
this
was
just
an
information
item
and
definitely
appreciate
you
both
for
being
here
and
talking
to
us
about
the
extensive
planning,
that's
already
gone
into
preparing
for
the
waitlist
to
to
open
back
up
for
a
thousand
voucher
program.
So
thank
you.
A
Great
so
next
and
I
think
last
on
our
agenda.
Well,
next
on
our
agenda
is
legislative
priorities
so
for
this
Alex,
are
you
able
to
bring
up
a
copy
of
the
document
that
I
had
sent
out?
Okay,
great
and
just
and
no
I,
don't
know
if
we
send
out
a
message
to
everyone,
but
the
County
Board
did
approve
our
new
Charter.
They
made
some
additional
changes
beyond
what
we
had
changed
and
recommended
to
them,
but
it
is
official.
A
Our
name
is
officially
the
Housing
Commission
now,
instead
of
the
citizens
advisory
Commission
on
housing,
so
it's
a
little
bit
easier
for
everyone
to
say
and
remember
and
consistent
with
what
we
actually
call
ourselves,
which
is
great,
among
other
changes
to
our
Charter
but
I
believe
it's
posted
on
our
website
and
Alex.
If
you
could
send
out
a
copy
to
all
the
commissioners
of
the
the
final
one
that
was
approved
by
the
board,
that
would
be
helpful
as
well.
P
A
So
for
these
legislative
priorities,
the
commissions
and
Boards
advisory
boards
are
invited
by
the
County
Board
to
recommend
priorities
for
inclusion
in
the
legislative
agenda
that
the
county,
basically
Advocates
and
lobbies
for
for
the
next
general
assembly
session
and
as
I
put
in
the
email
to
the
Commissioners
yesterday,
items
three
through
I
think
it's
three
through
seven,
maybe
five
of
them
yeah
three
through
seven,
are
actually
they've
already
been
approved
by
the
commission
as
part
of
the
Serrano
report.
But
that
happened
last
fall.
A
We
usually
usually
do
legislative
priorities
in
the
summer,
so
we
do
not
officially
present
those
as
legislative
priorities
for
consideration
by
the
board
for
last
General
Assembly
session.
A
A
The
one
and
two
were
things
that,
based
on
conversations
that
we've
had
over
the
last
few
months
and
just
thinking
about
some
of
the
needs
brought
To
Us
by
renters
and
other
members
of
the
community
that
were
worth
at
least
discussing
with
you
all
to
see
what
makes
the
most
sense
to
put
forward
as
recommendations
to
the
board.
A
So
I
can
go
through
them
if
people
would
like
I'm,
not
sure,
since
this
just
went
out
yesterday,
if
people
have
had
a
chance
to
read
through
it
and
I
would
add
to
that
happy.
If
we
do
move
forward
with
all
or
just
some
of
these
to,
we
can
take
a
bit
more
time
to
to
work
out
the
details,
as
we
do
the
the
writing
for
this.
This
isn't
something
that
has
to
go
to
the
board
like
next
week.
A
A
So
with
that
said,
I
guess
I'll
just
quickly
kind
of
run
through
the
first
one
expand
localities
and
sorry
that
should
have
been
possessive
negotiation,
Authority
with
Developers
for
cycling
conditions
who
could
have
ability,
conditions
and
bedroom
size
for
Market
units,
so
I
think
there's
more.
That
I
would
want
to
add
here.
A
I
just
haven't
had
a
lot
of
time
to
dig
into
all
of
the
different
things
that
have
come
up
or
that
we
think
would
be
helpful
for
counties
and
and
cities
like
Arlington
and
others
to
be
able
to
include
in
negotiations
with
Developers
for
site
plans.
A
A
Are
they
able
to
request
that
developers
do
like
more
three-bedroom
units
in
for
market
rate?
And
they
apparently
don't
have
that
Authority?
They
can
only
negotiate
that
for
committed,
affordable
units,
but
there's
certain
things
that
I
think
has
have
come
up
in
conversations
with
our
commission
that
we'd
like
to
see
the
county
to
have
at
least
the
ability
to
negotiate
over
for
market
rate
buildings
and
units
and
not
just
calf,
so
that
is
kind
of
the
impetus
behind
that.
D
I
was
a
little
bit
confused
by
this.
Is
this
for
new
construction
or
renovation
projects,
or
both.
A
It
would
I
think
it
would
be
both.
It
would
be
anything
that
a
site
plan
is
required
for.
A
Yeah
I
mean
I,
think
part
of
it
is
I,
don't
want
to
get
overly
prescriptive,
and
then
you
know
the
board
and
the
County,
like
legislative
liaison,
are
gonna
like
decide
what
they
want
to
do,
anyways
with
it,
but
I
think
in
part.
It's
we
want
to
express
a
sentiment
about
what
we
think
is
important
where
we
need
to.
We
can
get
specific
on
this.
One
I
would
like
to
get
a
little
bit
more
specific
and
provide
some
examples.
A
I
just
didn't
have
time
to
do
that.
Prior
to
this
meeting,
but
I
know
I
reached
out
to
staff
to
see
if
we
could
have
a
meeting
to
talk
about
the
authorities
that
that
they
currently
have
during
site
plan
negotiations
and
things
that
could
be
helpful.
A
They
weren't
able
to
meet
with
us
because
I
think
they
didn't
want
to
be
seen
as
influencing
what
the
board
was
ultimately
going
to
decide
as
far
as
the
legislative
priority,
so
I
think
this
one
would
require
some
more
digging
to
to
nail
down
the
language
that
we'd
want
to
use
and
and
also
provide
some
examples
of
like
why
we
care
about
this.
Why
are
we
bringing
this
up
in
the
first
place
for
County
board
members
who
have
not
been
sitting
in
our
meetings
and
have
not?
A
You
know
heard
about
the
questions
that
we
asked
staff
to
say.
Oh,
why
didn't
you?
Why
didn't
you
ask
the
developer
to
do
X,
Y
and
Z,
and
they
came
back
and
said?
Oh
because
we
can't
so
that's,
hopefully
that
helps
answer
your
question,
but
I
agree.
I
would
want
to
provide
some
more
specificity
here
to
this
one
in
particular,.
A
H
A
A
The
second
one
established
a
Virginia
mold
remediation
phone.
This
gets
a
little
bit
more
specific.
A
A
If
there's
a
mold
issue
at
their
unit
is
to
sue
their
landlord,
and
we
know
that
a
lot
of
tenants
don't
feel
comfortable,
don't
have
the
money
or
don't
have
the
time
to
go
to
court,
so
they
end
up
living
with
mold,
because
there's
there's
some
bad
actor
landlords
out
there,
who
don't
care
about
keeping
the
units
in
quality
condition,
and
so
what
this
would
do
is
have
ask
Virginia
to
establish
basically
a
mold
remediation
fund
and
the
way
that
it
would
work
is
any
Virginia
resident
could
reach
out
to
the
state
and
say:
hey
I
would
like
mold
testing,
I,
think
it's
unsafe
in
my
unit
and
that
would
be
provided
for
free
by
the
state.
A
The
state
would
go
and
provide
testing
they're,
probably
contractors,
but
that's
for
them
to
decide.
They
would
do
the
testing
if
they
found
dangerous
mold.
They
would
notify
the
landlord
that
they're
in
violation
of
the
Virginia
residential
landlord
tenant
act.
They
would
give
them
20
days.
That's
a
you
know.
People
can
figure
out
if
that's
a
good
number
or
not
to
fix
the
issue.
A
If
they
don't
fix
the
issue,
then
the
state
would
actually
carry
out
the
remediation
for
the
tenant
and
then
they
would
build
the
landlord
for
the
cost
of
remediation
and
the
initial
mold
testing.
A
So
that
way,
the
the
people
who
are
violating
the
law
are
ultimately
on
the
hook
for
paying
for
the
issues,
and
it
gives
tenants
and
a
method
to
get
rid
of
dangerous
mold
conditions
without
having
to
go
to
court
and
sue
their
landlord,
and
it
gives
them
free
testing
for
mold.
So
this
is
something
that
it
may
sound
kind
of
complicated.
A
A
Q
Hey
thanks,
Kellen
I
actually
have
a
couple
questions.
Are
these
listed
in
order
a
priority?
Are
they
just
in
any
order?
They're.
Q
Great
well,
I
have
just
a
couple
reservations,
I
think.
The
spirit
of
you
know
the
language
is
good,
but
I
just
worry
about
one.
The
cost
of
implementation,
if
it's
Statewide
and
the
state
has
the
responsibility
to
actually
remediate
the
mold,
but
then
secondarily
when
I
think
about
you
know,
Virginia
doing
developers,
I
think
that's
really
unlikely
to
get
through
and
so
I
wonder.
If
there's
a
maybe
an
opportunity
to
change
the
language
to
say
the
state
has
the
authority
to
require
the
developers
to
do
the
mold
remediation.
Q
It's
just
like
food
for
thought
and
then
my
last
question
was:
are
we
gonna
put
the
affordable
housing
ordinance
as
one
of
our
legislative
priorities.
A
So
answer
the
second
question:
first
I'd,
my
concern
is
that
what
I've
seen
is
that
even
the
courts
like
if
you
sue
the
landlord
for
failing
to
live
up
to
their
obligations
under
the
Virginia
residential
landler,
Tenant
Act,
you
often
see
that
they
don't
comply
and
then
it
takes
another
lawsuit
to
get
them
back
to
court.
The
judge
orders
them
to
comply,
and
then
they
don't
do
it
and
nothing
really
bad
happens
to
them,
and
then
the
lamp,
the
108
just
gets
sick
of
living
in
terrible
conditions
and
moves.
A
So
what
this
is
trying
to
do
is
not
rely
on
the
landlord
to
be
the
only
one
who
can
fix
this
issue,
recognizing
that
there's
just
enough
bad
landlords
out
there,
who
just
will
never
do
it,
because
they
don't
care
and
giving
the
opportunity
for
the
state
to
take
care
of
the
issue
and
just
say,
but
you're
on
the
hook
for
paying
us
back.
Here's
a
bill
that
you
owe
Virginia
for
taking
care
of
this
obligation
that
you
failed
to
take
care
of
within.
A
You
know
the
required
number
of
days
and
then
the
Third
I
thought
about
the
affordable
housing
ordinance.
I.
Don't
think
that
we
have
enough
specifics
on
what
we
think
it
should
be
I
think,
looking
at
potentially
whether
it's
a
subcommittee
or
working
with
staff
to
come
up
with
what
is
kind
of
the
new
affordable
housing
ordinance
that
we
would
want
for
Arlington
makes
sense,
but
I
don't
think.
We
know
that
today,
I
think
we
know
that
we
want
something
better
than
what
we
have
but
I.
A
A
I,
don't
think
we're
there
yet
also
the
next
legislative
session,
I'm
pretty
sure
the
county
is
not
going
to
want
to
bring
that
up
until
things
change
like
politically
enrichment,
so
I
didn't
think
it
made
that
much
sense
to
bring
it
up
now,
because
I
wouldn't
expect
them
to
actually
include
it
in
their
legislative
priorities.
That's
not
to
say
that
we
can
I
just
didn't
think
that
one
we
were
ready
to
and
two
that
they
would
end
up.
A
Adopting
that
I
think
I
saw
a
handout
from
Nikki
first
and
then
I.
Don't
know
if
Mike's
hand
is
still
up
or
you
have
follow-up.
Q
Okay,
yeah
I
mean
I
just
want
to
respectfully
disagree,
I
think
at
every
housing
commission
meeting
we
talk
about
the
affordable,
housing,
ordinance
and
so
I
think.
You
know
I
agree
that
you
know
there's
a
lot
of
work
and
maybe
we're
not
ready
to
do
it,
but
there's
a
a
chance
that
the
balance
of
power
might
shift
in
November
and
if
we
wait
until
November
you
know
the
cake
is
already
baked
at
that
point.
Q
So
we
would
have
to
wait
until
you
know
this
time
next
year
and
I
think
you
know
it
signals
to
the
community.
You
know,
since
we
have
brought
it
up
it's
in
our
minutes
and
every
report
when
we
each
go
to
the
counting
board
to
testify.
We
we
always
talk
about
it.
You
know
we're
grilling,
the
developers.
I
think
this
is
really
putting
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
by
saying:
hey
the
ordinance
hasn't
been
updated
in
10
or
15
years.
A
And
Mike
I
agree
that
I
think
it's
something
we
should
turn
our
attention
to.
So
I
was
actually
just
talking
to
Matthew
Bronte
about
this
last
week
or
two
weeks
ago,
I
think
potentially
creating
like
a
subcommittee
or
task
force
was
more.
The
option
like
I,
think
the
county,
like
board,
also
doesn't
have
like
all
the
specifics
on
what
they
would
want
changed
so
I
think
there's,
there's
just
a
good
amount
of
research
and
work
that
would
need
to
go
into
what
that
looks
like
and
I.
A
Don't
think
that
I
don't
see
that
happening
before
all
of
this
you
know
before
bills
have
to
be
introduced
to
the
general
assembly
like
I.
Think
that's
something
like
in
September.
If
we
want
to
start
a
task
force
or
subcommittee
to
start
looking
at
this
and
then
over.
You
know
the
course
of
like
nine
months
we
come
up
with
recommendations
for
what
we
think
it
should
be
I'd
be
more
supportive
of
that
approach.
A
But
certainly
if
the
other
Commissioners
disagree,
then
you
know
happy
to
consider
that
for
inclusion-
and
you
know
as
a
broader
statement
about
needing
changes
to
the
affordable
housing
ordinance
in
this
legislative
priority
package
go
ahead.
Nikki.
C
C
I
was
also
just
curious,
like
have
we
done
any
kind
of
like
best
practices,
overview,
I
I
know
like
National
Center
for
healthy
housing
has
some
stuff
on
mold
and
lead,
and
things
like
that
around
some
of
the
language
or
even
just
I,
know
I'm
still
pretty
new
to
the
Housing
Commission,
but
I
know
I
I've
been
hearing
a
lot
about
how
BC
has
some
policies
that
we
want
to
model
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
if
we've
done
any
like
jurisdictional
best
practices,
reviewed
and
also
kind
of
like
advocacy
groups
and
what
they
recommend
as
well.
A
A
You
know
I
if,
if
people
feel
like
we,
we
should
just
spend
some
more
time
on
this.
I'm
also
happy
to
work
on
this
over
the
next,
like
couple
months
and
and
since
we're
off
in
August
like
work
on
it,
the
rest
of
July
and
August
with
members
of
the
commission-
and
we
can
come
back
with
you,
know
more
details
or
just
thought
through
recommendations
for
September
I
I,
don't
think
it
would
be
too
late
in
September.
A
They
normally
ask
for
the
legislative
priorities
like
around
the
July
time
frame,
but
I
think
if
we
could
get
it
out
in
September.
That
would
be
fine
as
well,
but
I
would
want
help
from
people
on
the
commission
to
actually
do
that.
Research
help
draft
that
language,
because
it's
it's
a
lot
of
work.
It's
to
meet
with
people.
A
Do
the
research
figure
it
out
and
and
I
also
like
I,
do
want
to
caution
that
to
some
degree
like
you
know,
we
don't
want
to
over
bake
it
and
then
have
the
county.
Just
say
like
this
is
great,
but
this
just
doesn't
fit
in
with
what
we're
thinking
about
doing
as
a
legislative
package,
and
you
know
just
kind
of
have
something
go
nowhere.
A
So,
ultimately
these
are
recommendations
and
in
the
past,
I
think
if
we've
been
lucky,
the
county
has
picked
one
that
we've
recommended
that
they've
included
in
their
recommendations.
A
So
I
I
don't
want
us
to
spend
a
ton
of
time
and
effort
on
something
and
then
ultimately
you
know
have
the
county,
maybe
not
select
any
or
select.
You
know
one
and
then
kind
of
have
that
effort
be
wasted,
because,
as
a
commission,
all
we
can
do
is
recommend
to
the
County
Board.
We
can't
recommend
to
the
general
assembly
ourselves,
or
you
know
it's
all
only
to
the
County
Board
is
the
audience
and
then
what
they
decide
to
do
with
it
from
there.
C
I
defer
to
you
on
the
path
forward,
but
I
would
I'll
just
express
it.
I'm,
definitely
interested
in
spending
more
time
on
it,
but
definitely
hear
you
on
on
the
contacts
around
it
they've
only
taken
one
in
the
past
if
they're
lucky.
So
thanks.
A
Oh,
thank
you.
It's
a
very
good
question.
Nikki.
Do
you?
People
have
thoughts
on.
Do
we
want
to,
you
know,
spend
we
can
meet
a
couple
times
over
the
summer
and
try
to
come
back
in
September
with
just
more
information
a
little
bit
more
research
into
these
legislative
priorities.
A
I
mean
again
three
through
seven
were
ones
that
already
kind
of
went
through
a
vetting
process
for
the
Serrano
report.
We
could
still
expand
upon
them.
We
could
still,
you
know,
do
additional
research
or
work
but
and
I
know.
Number
three
is
one
that
we
actually
got
the
County
Board
to
include
in
their
their
legislative
priorities,
and
we
actually
got
it
passed
through
the
general
assembly
until
Governor
V
juncken
vetoed
it,
and
then
it
died
last
year
when
it
was
introduced
again.
A
But
so
that
was
the
one
that
got
through
and
almost
became
law,
but
unfortunately,
because
if
the
governor
did
not
but
yeah
thoughts
from
Commissioners
on
whether
this
is
something
that
we
want
to
either
take
action
on
tonight
or
we
want
to
spend
a
little
bit
more
time
on
and
and
with
that.
I
would
hope
that
you
know
people
other
than
just
Nikki
and
myself
would
volunteer
to
to
work
on
that
over
the
next
like
month
and
a
half
or
so.
B
Yeah
I'll
be
more
than
willing
to
help,
but
it's
just
you
guys,
but
I
also
agree
with
your
point
like
let's
not
kind
of
over
bake
it.
If
you
know
we
really
just
have
like
a
a
month
or
so
to
work
on
it,
but
yeah
I'll
be
willing
to
help.
Do
research
if
needed,
but
yeah.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Sarah
Karen,.
D
A
Thought
yeah
I
mean
I
think
we
still
would
have
time
in
September
I,
don't
think
it
would
be
too
late
if
we
took
them
up-
and
you
know
passed
final
recommendations
at
our
September
meeting,
but
you
know
again
like
as
I
said
and
I
think
people
have
echoed.
We
don't
want
to
put
in
a
ton
of
time
and
effort
into
something
that
just
because
the
County
Board
has
so
many
legislative
priorities
on
many
different
topics.
Any
given
topic
typically
only
has
like
one
or
two
things
in
there
for
housing.
I
A
More
from
our
list,
but
I
typically
have
not
seen
us
be
that
successful,
even
if
the
board
thinks
it's
a
really
good
idea,
they
tend
to
just
be
very
picky
and
they
try
to
narrow
down
what
they're
asking
for
they
don't
want
to
ask
for
everything.
A
So
I
guess
does
anyone
else
have
any
sentiments
on?
Should
we
sort
of
take
this
back
up
in
September
after
doing
a
little
bit
more
work
on
it?
Or
do
people
just
want
to
you
know,
take
a
vote
on
on
some
version
of
this
tonight.
R
Can
I
ask
a
quick
question?
Yes,
I'm.
R
No
problem
for
those
who
have
been
around
this
much
longer
are
is
the
level
of
detail.
That's
represented
here,
typical
of
the
legislative
priorities
as
they're
provided
to
the
board,
or
do
they
usually
have
a
lot
more
meet
on
them?
That's
my
first
question
and
then
the
second
question
is
given
what
you
just
described.
As
you
know,
the
board
is
on
only
likely
to
take
one
or
two
at
most
of
any
priorities
we
put
forward.
R
B
A
I
think
Margaret
that
it
probably
does
make
sense
to
narrow
it
down
further
than
having
seven
I.
As
far
as
the
level
of
detail,
I
would
want
to
provide
more
context
and
explanation
for
like
why
we're
recommending
them.
So,
even
if
the
legislative
priority
themselves
were
still
like
a
sentence
or
two
I
think
saying
like
this
is
why
we
think
this
is
really
important.
This
is
where
this
is
coming
from
would
be
something
we'd
include
in
the
letter.
A
If
you
look
at
the
actual
legislative
priorities
that
the
county
publishes-
and
you
know
approves,
this
is
about
the
little
detail.
It's
usually
like
a
sentence
with
that
said
that
doesn't
mean
that,
behind
the
scenes
that
their
legislative
liaison
doesn't
have
much
more
detailed
idea
of
this
is
exactly
what
this
means
and
what
we're
looking
for,
and
this
is
what
we're
trying
to
to
get
past.
A
But
you
know,
typically,
the
the
statement
on
paper
tends
to
be
pretty
Broad
and
you
know
short,
I'm
kind
of
leaning
towards.
Let's
pick
this
back
up
in
September,
we
can
see
if
we
can
narrow
it
down
a
bit
and-
and
maybe
you
know
flesh
out
which
of
these
we
really
think
is
the
highest
priority.
A
If
nothing
else,
and
we
can
consider
potential
other
ones
that
that
people
want
to
bring
forward
at
that
time
as
well.
If
that
works,
any
objections
to
to
doing
that.
G
Not
an
objection,
but
just
a
comment.
The
idea
of
coming
back
to
it
in
September
I
am
willing
to
help
a
little
bit
until
then
as
well
and
just
a
question
following
back
up
on
what
Mike
said,
what
is
your
thinking
in
terms
of
why
it
would
take
nine
months
to
come
up
with
a
recommendation
for
number
like
amount
of
affordable
housing
like
is
there
any
way?
We
could
do
like
a
short
version
of
that
before
September,
or
would
it
take
longer.
A
My
thinking
on
that,
because
it's
something
that
the
board
is
interested
in
and
I
think
staff
is
also
like
very
interested
in
it.
The
board
is
going
to
look
to
staff
for
a
recommendation.
We
can
either
work
with
staff
to
come
up
with
that
recommendation,
which
would
be
a
lengthy
process
or
we
could
do
it
on
our
own,
in
which
case
the
board
would
send
that
to
staff
and
say:
can
you
consider
what
the
Housing
Commission
said
and
come
back
to
us
with
your
own
recommendation?
A
So
I
think
it
makes
more
sense
for
us
to
similar
to
like
the
homeownership
subcommittee,
to
have
something
in
place
with
staff
where
we're
working
together,
but
that
has
to
align
with
when
it's
a
priority
for
them
and
for
the
board
to
you
know
take
that
up.
So
those
are
conversations
that
we
would
need
to
have
with
County
staff
as
well
as
County
Board
of
like.
A
Are
you
ready
to
take
this
on
and
and
start
looking
into
what
we
think
this
new?
You
know
revised
ordinance
should
say
and
I
know,
there's
been
work
that
other
advocacy
groups
have
done
on
this
in
the
past
too.
So
it's
looking
at
those
but
I
think
if
it
we
want
it
to
carry
the
most
weight,
it's
something
we
have
to
do
in
concert
with
staff,
because
ultimately
the
board
is
going
to
look
to
them
for
the
final
recommendation
on
what
it
what
should
be
in
there.
A
Any
any
objection
to
working
on
this
over
the
next
month
and
a
half
to
narrow
it
down,
come
back
to
you
all,
with
revised
legislative
priorities
to
be
voted
on
and
reviewed
at
our
September
meeting
and
I
also
am
happy
to
reach
out
to
like
and
Venicia
and
to
Matt
to
see
if
we
might
be
able
to
jump
start
something
around
the
affordable
housing
ordinance
which
I
might
add,
we're
still
waiting
for
the
second
half
of
a
presentation
from
staff
which
is
going
to
come
in
September
on
explaining
the
ordinance
to
us,
so
I
think
yeah,
I.
A
Think
starting
something
in
the
fall
makes
more
sense
than
trying
to
vote
on
something
tonight
about
that.
When
there's
still
more,
that
I
think
more
information
we
need
to
take
in,
but
I'm
happy
to
reach
out
to
staff
and
the
board
to
see.
If
that's
something
we
can
jump
start.
C
A
But
okay
I
assume,
there's
there's
no
objection,
then
so,
let's,
let's
table
this
and
I
will
reach
out
to
I'll
reach
out
to
everyone
on
the
commission
about
setting
up
a
meeting
to
discuss
the
legislative
priorities,
but
I
know
in
particular
like
Sarah,
Nikki
and
Katie.
You
would
express
interest
and
we
can
find
a
time
to
schedule
a
public
meeting
to
discuss
that
and
yeah
I
think
I.
A
Think
that
makes
sense
for
moving
forward
on
these
anything
else
that
anyone
wants
to
add
before
we
move
on
from
that.
B
Yeah
so
I
just
want
to
thank
thank
you
again
for
putting
us
together
and
like
I
know.
This
is
a
big
kind
of
lift
so
look
forward
to
getting
together
and
working
on
this.
Of
course,
in
a
in
a
public
setting.
A
Great
sounds
good
Alex
did
we
have
just
development
updates
because
I
don't
think
we
have
any
subcommittee
reports,
because
we
already
heard
from
the
the
homeownership
subcommittee.
P
Yes,
that
is
correct,
so
I
just
have
a
few
development
updates
for
everyone
this
evening.
P
First
of
all,
so
there
is
a
site
plan
on
the
July,
so
in
about
nine
days,
County
Board
calendar-
and
that
is
the
Boston
holiday
in
site
plan
that
that
site
plan
did
not
come
to
this
Commission
because
it
is
a
base
contribution.
Only
so
the
only
bonus
density
on
the
whole
site
was
met
with
lead
gold
to
earn
that
little
bit
of
bonus
that
they
needed
other
than
that
it
was
all
earned
on
the
base.
P
You'll
also
notice
on
the
County
board
agenda
for
July
that
Marbella
site
a
is
going
to
the
board
with
loan
documents,
as
you
remember,
that
was
the
selection
in
the
FY
22
nofa
and
then
another
quick
update
for
you
all
on
Columbia
Hills,
so
APPA
recently
closed
on
Virginia
Housing
Amazon
reach
funds
that
increased
affordability
of
54,
total
caps
at
Columbia
Hills,
which
is
a
229
unit.
P
All
units
were
previously
affordable
up
to
60
Ami
and
they
deepened
the
affordability
for
25
years.
P
So
that's
obviously
a
very
positive
development
using
those
Amazon
reach
funds
to
basically
buy
down
the
affordability
levels
from
60
to
30
and
50
for
for
those
54
units
at
Columbia,
Hills
and
then
my
only
other
update,
which
is
a
little
bit
sir
specific,
but
plan
Langston
Boulevard
also
released
their
their
draft
document
draft
for
plan,
Langston
Boulevard,
and
so
there
will
that
Community
process,
Community
engagement
processes,
beginning
now
and
Sarah.
Where
did
you
receive
an
email
from
staff
this
afternoon?
On
that.
B
P
Awesome
so
that
that
process
will
it
will
go
to
the
RL,
lrpc
long-range
planning
committee
and
then
eventually
we
that
that
document
will
come
to
the
Housing
Commission
later
this
year
for
a
more
comprehensive
review
from
the
full
commission
other
than
that
I
sent
out
the
sheet.
There
are
no
new
meetings
on
the
calendar
right
now
for
July,
but
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
anyone
might
have.
B
Q
Is
that
a
question
on
when
we
expect
to
have
Matt
D
Ferrante
attend
the
meeting
I
feel
like
it's
been
a
while.
P
It
has
we
sent
out
dates
for
I,
believe
this
one
and
September.
Unfortunately,
he
does
have
conflicts.
I
believe
for
both
of
those
I
did
send
the
date
to
his
aid
for
October,
I,
believe
I,
believe
that
will
be
the
month
that
he
attends
okay,.
O
A
Great,
thank
you
Alex
and
I.
Think
that
was
it
on
our
agenda
right,
yep,
okay!
Well,
thank
you!
Everyone
for
your
participation
tonight
and,
as
I
said
before,
we're
off
in
August
from
our
official
meeting,
but
we'll
be
back
in
September
in
person
and
I'll
follow
up
with
everyone
about
the
legislative
priorities
for
those
who
would
like
to
meet
about
that
over
the
coming
weeks.
But
thank
you
all
very
much
and
I
hope
you
have
a
good
rest
of
your
summer.
