You,
okay,
so
I'm
just
going
to
stay
off
video
for
Eve
and
I'm,
going
to
move
it
quickly
through
the
first
agenda
item
of
approving
a
minute,
so
we
can
get
on
to
staff
and
through
my
connectivity
issues
so
can
I
get
a
motion
to
approve
the
June
minute.
We
did
not
meet
in
July
the
end
of
June.
That's
so
moved
second,
okay,
because
we're
virtual
we'll
do
a
roll
call
vote.
Councilwoman,
Mosley,
I,
councilwoman,
Smith,
aye,
myself
stage,
I
and
the
minutes
have
passed
all
right.
So
second
item
on
the
agenda.
D
Sure,
thank
you
so
much
chair,
Turner
I'm,
Sasha
bertinski.
As
we
said
before,
Thrive
Asheville
is
a
local
non-profit
and
they
are
here
today
to
make
a
presentation.
They
originally
got
funding
through
the
American
Rescue
plan
act.
The
city
council
awarded
funding
they'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that,
and
this
presentation
is
just
about
one
piece
of
their
work,
so
Kate
pet
is
here,
and
so
is
Garrett
razick
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
you.
G
Thanks
thanks
Sasha
and
thanks
to
this
committee
for
allowing
us
to
present
today
thanks
to
your
support
and
with
the
help
of
City
staff
that
we've
been
able
to
have
the
opportunity
to
explore
a
critical
question
in
shaping
the
use
of
City
funds
and
the
development
of
housing
policy
nearly
two
years
ago,
hard
to
believe
I
sat
down
with
councilwoman
Mosley
to
discuss,
affordable
housing,
and
she
raised
the
question
of
whether
the
affordable
housing
constructed
in
part
with
City
funds
reached
the
black
and
brown
community.
G
She
questioned
whether
black
and
brown
community
members
had
sufficient
income
to
access
this
new
housing
and
raise
the
possibility
that
Investments
could
actually
be
increasing.
Disparities
in
access
to
housing
and
I'm
really
grateful
to
her
for
raising
this
point
with
me
and
Shining
a
light
on
what
could
be
an
unintended
consequence
of
housing,
investments
that
are
pegged
to
income,
and
this
question
became
a
key
driver
of
the
project
that
you
are
about
to
hear
about
so
next
slide.
G
G
G
This
study
was
a
part
of
the
Investments
and
most
of
the
funding
actually
goes
into
the
third
bucket,
which
is
building
on
the
landlord-tenant
partnership,
which
thrived
previously
piloted
this
year.
We
added
five
new
units
to
affordable
housing
stock,
which
allowed
five
families
access
to
new
housing
opportunities,
and
we
will
continue
this
work
through
December
2024
and
ultimately
connect
20
families
to
housing
in
new
neighborhoods.
G
H
Thanks
Kate
and
Katie
were
good
for
the
next
slide,
so
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
myself.
My
name
is
Garrett
razick.
This
is
one
of
the
projects.
H
It's
a
higher
level
analysis,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
all
the
the
folks
who
have
participated
in
making
this
possible
so
particularly
City
staff
and
Sasha,
as
well
as
members
of
the
affordable
housing
advisory
committee.
Ahac
Who
provided
some
feedback
that
I've
been
working
with
and
a
steering
committee
that
includes
Jesse
Figueroa
of
Homeward,
Bound,
Andy,
Barnett
of
habitat
and
Greg
Borum
of
children.
H
Please
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear
about
the
lens
from
which
this
analysis
is
conducted,
the
analysis
centers
those
most
harmed
by
and
Equitable
systems,
regardless
of
their
share
of
the
population,
so
they
may
be
minority
of
the
population
in
Asheville,
but
their
majority
of
the
focus
of
this
work
and-
and
they
are
centered
I-
want
to
point
out
that
we
can.
We
only
can
use
the
data
that
we
have
and
so
you'll
see
some
groups
represented
here
in
this.
H
These
analysis
doesn't
mean
to
erase
other
groups,
and
that
is
one
limitation
of
data,
and
one
thing
that
we
need
to
be
mindful
when
drawing
conclusions
next
slide,
please,
and
so
with
that
I'm
about
to
show
a
lot
of
different
types
of
graphs
in
a
little
bit
amount
of
time,
and
so
please
know
that
you
all
have
this
deck
I'm.
Making
myself
available
to
follow
up
with
any
questions.
H
I've
also
built
a
dashboard
to
make
a
so
that
you
can
actually
like
look
at
the
data
a
little
more
closely,
but
really
the
ultimate
question
that
we
are
asking
here
is
who
is
being
served
by
our
housing
choices
and
to
what
extent
are
they
being
they
being
served
and
such
a
critical
component,
a
critical
variable
that
we
use
in
housing
decisions
is
area
median
income
Ami,
and
that's
going
to
be
the
focus
of
a
lot
of
this
analysis.
H
That's
been
pulled
from
the
U.S
Census
Bureau
next
slide,
please,
and
so
here's
our
first
data
slide
so
just
to
Tee
It
Up.
We
have
data
from
most
recent
data
from
the
American
Community
survey
that
was
published
in
2000
published
recently,
but
this
goes
back
to
2021,
that
shows
median
household
income
by
by
race,
racial
or
ethnic
subgroup
and
again
for
any
anyone
who's
tuning
in
median
household
income.
H
That
means
that's
exactly
in
the
middle
of
the
data
set,
so
50
of
families
had
higher
income
and
fifty
percent
have
lower,
and
so
we
see
here
is
me
and
household
income
of
twenty
nine
thousand
dollars
for
black
African-American
households,
just
over
thirty
five
thousand
dollars
for
Hispanic
or
Latino
households,
and
that
compares
to
62
000
for
a
White
non-hispanic
household,
and
what
I've
done
is
added
the
reference
line
for
area
median
the
Ami
level.
H
What
80
Ami
is
based
on
Hud's
definition
in
the
same
year
2021,
and
so
we
see
that
80
Ami
was
right
around
sixty
thousand
dollars
well
above
some
of
the
racial
and
ethics
subgroups
that
were
highlighted.
Even
if
we
lowered
that
80
Ami
level
for
a
family
of
four
and
said
what
about
50
Ami
for
family
four,
that
still
would
have
been
over
the
median
income
for
black
African-American
and
Hispanic
and
Latino
households.
H
One
limitation
is
of
these
data.
Is
we
don't
know
the
exact
number
of
folks
in
these
households,
but
no
matter
how
we
kind
of
we
kind
of
spin
it
or
say
we
were
looking
Instead
at
80
Ami
for
a
two-person
household?
That
would
still
be
forty,
eight
thousand
dollars
and
well
above
what
we
see
here
for
some
of
our
focal
racial
ethics.
Subgroups
next
slide,
please-
and
this
shows
how
that
Trends
over
time.
H
So
again
we're
seeing
mean
household
income
by
three
subgroups
white
non-hispanic
and
is
that's
the
Blue
Line
Hispanic
Latina
households
in
orange
and
black
African
purple,
and
we
see
their
median
household
incomes
from
2017
to
2021,
and
these
kind
of
bullet
points
right
here.
These
data
points
that
you
see
the
dots
within
each
year
shows
what
80
Ami
Hud's
definition.
80
Mi
was
for
a
family
of
four
in
each
of
those
years,
and
now
it
tracks
pretty
closely
with
the
income
growth
of
white
non-hispanic
households.
H
H
Next
slide,
please,
and
so
in
a
perfect
world,
with
a
usn
superior
data,
we
would
have
race
and
gender
together,
but
when
the
sample
gets
so
small
that
those
data
become
unavailable.
So
what
I
had
to
do
was
find
like
the
best
data
that
I
could
work
with
on
the
side
of
gender,
and
so
what
I
actually
pulled
together
again
we're
going
with
median
household
income
across
three
types
of
like
family
compositions,
family
types.
H
This
is
the
US
and
spiritual
language.
So
we
see
one
group
is
female
householder
with
children
and
no
spouse
present
so
for
the
sake
of
Simplicity
I'll
label,
those
that
subgroup
right
now,
like
single
mother
households
and
rather
to
single
father
households
compared
to
married
couples
with
children
that
are
18.-
and
you
see
here
with
the
80
Ami
level,
is
again
for
that.
Reference
line.
Hud's
definition
and
we
see
single
mother
households
are
well
below
it.
H
Almost
50
percent
of
that
that
level
that's
there,
while
single
father
households
are
right,
almost
right
at
that
eight
percent
Ami
level
and
and
once
again
we're
trying
to
get
this
distinction
of
just
like
cross-cutting,
like
race
and
gender,
and
we
see
here
one
thing:
I
should
point
out.
If
you're
wondering
what
number
of
households
does
it
represent
locally
under
those
under
those
median
incomes.
So
say
we
look
at
single
mother
households
at
thirty
three
thousand
dollars
per
year:
immediate
household
income,
there's
1
672
of
those
households
in
the
city
of
Asheville.
H
H
So
over
time
here
we
see
in
blue
single
father,
households
in
green
single
mother
households
and
how
that
median
household
income
has
changed
from
2017
to
2021
compared
to
those
dots,
which
is
what
those
Mark
80
Ami
for
a
family
of.
Four
and
again,
we
see
a
growth
in
income
for
one
group,
single
father,
households
and
a
stagnation
when
it
comes
to
being
household
income
for
single
mother
households.
H
Next
slide,
please
so
that
was
all
the
data.
Those
or
some
of
it
did
I
should
say
really
I
filter
out
a
bunch
of
slides,
but
some
of
the
data
from
the
US
Census
Bureau
I'm,
going
to
turn
more
towards
local
city
housing
data
now,
but
before
going
to
any
like
land
use
incentive,
Grant
Housing,
Trust
Fund
data
really
want
to
just
take
stock
of
a
critical
component
of
housing
locally,
and
that's
our
Housing
Authority
communities,
our
project-based
units
and
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
them
since
they're
such
a
critical
component.
H
So
next
slide
please
so
one
thing
that
I've
done
is
back.
In
April
of
this
year,
the
Housing
Authority
gave
a
data
presentation
to
ahac
the
affordable
housing
advisory
committee
here
locally
and
presented
some
data
on
who
are
voucher
holders
and
since
voucher
holders
are
sometimes
seen
as
a
pipeline
to
other
housing
decisions
that
we
make
in
the
private
Market
really
want
us
to
reflect
on
who
they
are
so
I
just
rolled
up
some
of
that
data.
H
In
this
way,
right
here,
we
see
the
racial
composition
of
voucher
holders,
two
types
of
voucher
holders,
one
the
first
one
where
it
says
PVP,
BV
project-based
voucher
holders.
Those
are
individuals
who
are
living
in
Housing,
Authority,
run
communities
and
the
tbv
tenant-based
vouchers,
which
also
sometimes
you'll
hear
tenant,
Mobility
vouchers,
which
really
are
voucher
holders
who
are
moving
to
the
private
rental
market
or
in
the
private
rental
market.
Currently.
And
so
let
me
stop
for
a
moment,
say:
council,
member
Mosley.
H
That
is
the
exact
question
we
were
asking
you
then
we're
in
because,
because
here's,
what
we're
wondering
so
essentially
what
we
see
here
to
just
to
name
it
up
front
for
anyone
who's,
calling
in
as
we
see
the
majority
of
project,
big
based,
voucher
holders
or
black
or
African-American,
while
when
we
turn
towards
those
with
Mobility
vouchers
or
in
the
private
rental
market,
it
flips
and
the
majority
are
actually
white,
and
so
then
we're
asking
this
question
of
what
is
the?
What
is
filtering
is
it?
Is
it
a?
H
H
And
so
this
one
essentially,
then
now
we
looked
at
Dr
holvis
by
race.
This
is
Dr
Holst
by
income.
Just
so
we
can
take
stock
again
of
what
incomes
are
we
talking
about
when
we're
talking
about
voucher
holders
so
for
pro
project-based
voucher
holders,
antenna
based
voucher
holders
we're
pretty
much
talking
almost
the
entire
population
at
50,
Ami
or
below,
with
heavier
concentrations
and
zero
to
thirty
percent
Ami
for
both
groups.
H
B
So
if
an
apartment
complex
is
built,
then
30
units
are
dedicated
to
project-based
vouchers,
and
those
30
units
will
always
accept
folks
that
have
vouchers
in
hand,
whereas
the
mobility
aspect
means
you
now
are
given
this
opportunity
to
pay
just
annual
landlord
with
your
voucher.
But
you
got
to
go
find
that
unit
right
just
to
be
clear.
B
Yes,
because
often
we
hear
like,
if
the
folks
can't
find
a
unit,
then
the
money
goes
unused,
so
I
think
that's
kind
of
a
I
hope
when
you
guys
are
doing
for
study
that
that's
one
of
the
things
that's
looked
at
I
mean
the
onus,
and
this
is
why
the
ltp
with
broad
the
dollar
is
so
successful
right,
because
you
really
help
bridge
that
gap
of
helping
fine
units
to
the
folks
that
are
out
there.
Looking.
H
H
All
right,
okay,
I,
think
we're
good
for
you
next
slide
and
now
we're
going
to
turn
towards
some.
These
are
these
data,
Sasha
and
obviously,
staff
members
or
instrumental
providing
again
I,
took
only
a
subset
of
the
data.
I
have
more
slides.
If
you
all
want
to
dive
deeper,
please
let
me
know,
but
now
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
some
City
and
Investment
Housing
investment
data
next
slide,
please.
H
So
we
have
here.
This
graphic
shows
all
those
units
that
were
approved
in
the
last
10
years.
When
I
say
units
I
mean
those
seem
to
be
affordable,
housing
units,
as
defined
as
serving
those
at
the
80
Ami
level
or
below,
and
another
thing
to
point
out-
you
see
like
the
year-
is
there
from
fiscal
year,
13
14
to
22
23.,
that
these
are
those
units
that
were
approved
so
we're
not
talking
about
built
right
now
and
so
on
the
first
bar
graph
on
the
left.
H
We
know
that,
there's
a
composition
when
a
project
comes
up
for
a
vote,
there's
a
composition
project
that
that
might
be
mixed
income
that
might
be
deemed
affordable,
saying
20
of
the
units
are
affordable,
and
so
essentially,
with
this
bar
graph
on
the
left
side
gets.
Is
we
see
that
there
in
the
past
10
years,
they're
just
shy
about
1500,
affordable
units
at
eight
percent
Ami
below
approved?
H
H
And
so,
if
you
just
look
at
that
subset
of
those
like
I'm,
just
shy
of
1500
affordable
units,
what
was
the
projected
funding
because
again
they
weren't
all
billed,
but
what
was
it
projected
to
be
for
those
1500
and
that's
the
bar
graph
on
the
right?
We
see
that
right,
around
50
of
the
funding
source
for
these
1500
units
was
luige,
which
is
in
that
dark,
green
Housing,
Trust
and
Housing
Trust
Fund,
which
is
in
the
light
green
there
and
then
the
the
other
50
leveraged.
H
Some
other
funding
would
be
Federal
funding,
other
city
funding
Bond
money,
but
they
had
found
another
funding
source
next
slide.
Please,
and
so
this
is
the
same
data
set,
but
instead
here
this
is
where
I,
if
you
all
want
to
see
like
a
dashboard
where
you
can
hover
over
everyone,
these
these
circles
and
find
the
exact
like
what
the
project
was.
This
is
the
same
data,
so
all
those
projects
that
have
affordable
units
in
them
that
were
approved
by
counts
in
the
last
10
years.
H
Each
one
of
these
circles
is
a
unique
project
over
that
time
period,
and
what
we
have
here
is
it's
on
the
y-exit
axis
we
have
what
percent
of
that
project
was
affordable
at
eight
percent
am
I
below
and
on
the
x-axis
there
was
a
total
number
of
units
that
were
built
in
that
project
to
get
at
scale
the
project
and
also
the
impact.
H
H
The
Housing
Trust
Fund
projects
more
likely
to
be
100
affordable,
while
Luigi
was
tended
to
be
a
20
of
those
units
in
that
project
were
affordable
or
below
20,
and
really
the
only
one
that
we
see
in
between
there
and
here
is
40-
was
a
project
that
leveraged
both
Housing
Trust,
Fund
and
Luigi
next
slide.
Please
quick.
B
Question
for
you
I
apologize
that
you're
about
to
say
this,
but
so
are
we
assuming
that
that
is
because
the
the
nchfa
project
or
tax
credit
projects
can
request
an
HTF,
but
they
often
don't
request
the
Luigi
because
it
doesn't
align
there.
The
value
doesn't
handle
was
that.
Is
that
what
we're
thinking
so
that
is.
Is
that
why
that
might
be
more
of
a
stat
question.
D
Think,
yes,
I
think.
Yes,
that
is
the
explanation.
We
just
saw
that
one,
this
past
January,
I,
think
or
or
a
few
months
ago
that
did
ask
for
Louise
as
a
tax
credit
project,
but
yes,
I
think
we
also
have
a
local
developer.
We
also
have
a
local
developer
who's
done,
100,
affordable
projects,
but
doesn't
like
to
do
anything
with
Federal
funding.
You
know
so
we
have
some
people
who
just
want
to
use
local
funding
and
not
get
into
all
the
paperwork
of
doing
something
Federal
as
well.
H
Next
slide,
please
Katie
and
so
say
we
take
just
like
you
dive
into
the
to
Luigi
the
land
use
incentive
Grant
as
a
city
funding
tool.
What
we
have
here
just
to
tee
up
the
graph
again
on
the
y-axis.
We
have
the
number
of
affordable
units
from
that
project
and
on
the
x-axis
we
have
what
was
the
subsidy
per
unit,
a
metric,
that
we
sometimes
see
that
takes
the
number
of
affordable
units
and
then
divides
the
the
subsidy
to
get
the
subsidy
per
unit?
H
And
then
so
we
see
here
also
these
data
points
represent
a
unique
project,
so
any
of
the
projects
that
have
received
luige
funding
or
planned
to
have
received
the
wage
funding
and
they're
kind
of
color
coded
by
who
they
ideally
serve.
It's
not
perfect,
because
projects,
sometimes
a
project,
might
serve
Amis
between
30
and
80
percent.
Others
might
be
clean
cut
and
just
sort
of
like
okay
or
the
goal
here
is
60
and
then-
and
so
that's
why
they're
color
coded
differently.
H
But
really
what
we
see
here
is
the
wage
funded
projects
that
serve
those
really
roughly
from
30
to
60.
Ami
appear
to
acquire
lower
subsidies
per
affordable
unit
and
I,
say:
lower
subsidies
I
really
mean
lower
in
luige
subsidies,
they're
undoubling
leveraging
other
types
of
subsidies
outside
of
Luigi.
H
We
also
see
that
a
greater
proportion
of
overall
Luigi
funding
has
gone
towards
producing
units
at
80,
amp,
the
8
Ami
level,
and
to
put
exact
figure
on
that
I
have
it
here
is
at
least
60
of
the
lead
units
will
likely
go
because
not
all
of
them
are
have
moved
through
the
process
or
have
gone
to
those
at
80.
Ami
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
rounding
out.
Our
data
slides
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
Council
approval
and
and
all
the
different
stages
of
the
development
process.
H
So
I
asked
Sasha
to
just
give
me
all
those
affordable
housing
units
that
were
permitted
in
the
past
five
years.
Let's
get
more
little
more
local,
a
little
more
recent
in
our
time
frame.
So
all
those
that
received
a
permit
from
2018
to
2022.
How
did
they
break
down
by
groups
served?
H
And
so
that's
we
see
here
the
the
the
bar
graphs
here
of
those
that,
on
their
face
value
who
they
were
going
to
serve
later
on
you'll
see
a
recommendation
that
we
have
is
on
like
really
getting
clear
on
like
who
ended
up
being
served
because
it
was
planned
to
be
served
sometimes
is
different
than
that.
H
So
what
we
see
here
is
that
the
maturity,
affordable
units
we're
at
the
60
Emi
level,
often
coming
from
the
Housing
Trust
Fund,
on
that
on
on
on
that
side,
but
really
I
want
us
to
just
like
remember
those
median
household
income
data
and
that
even
the
60
Ami
is
far
above
what
we're
seeing
from
households
in
different
racial
ethics
subgroups
in
our
community
next
slide,
please,
and
so
with
that
some
quick
conclusions
or
recommendations
for
potential
future
work
next
slide
Katie.
Thank
you
one.
H
This
is
not
surprised
that
the
the
data
clearly
show
that
persistent
racial
and
gender
income
gaps,
impact
which
community
members
are
able
to
access,
affordable
housing
and
therefore
those
housing
investments
that
Target
incomes
at
higher
ends
of
Ford
place.
So
the
60
to
80
Ami
level
can
potentially
exacerbate
racial
and
gender
gaps
in
our
community
and
I
I.
Don't
want
to
leave
folks
with
the
impression
that
68
Ami
housing
is
not
needed,
but
it
certainly
could
exact
by
focusing
on
that.
H
It
could
exacerbate
those
racial
and
gender
gaps
and
then
three
that
to
speak
to
that
programs,
policies
and
subsidies
that
focus
on
30
to
50
Ami
levels
are
really
needed,
based
on
these
data
to
serve
more
black
Latino
and
female
community
members,
and
that's
both
in
the
private
rental
market
Investments,
but
also
in
project-based
housing.
When
we,
when
we
think
of
the
share
of
the
population
that
resides
next
slide,
please,
because
if
not,
what
we're
going
to
see
is
this
continued?
H
What
I've,
just
labeled
like
this
racial
based
filtering
that
happens
in
the
community,
where
what
we
have
is.
We
may
have
a
large
subset
of
black
and
brown
project-based
voucher
holders
and
then
councilman
Mimosa.
You
pointed
out
that
there's
almost
this
like
filtering
right,
that
we
saw
too
that
that
goes
from
the
stage
of
the
project-based
voucher
holder
to
the
tenant,
Mobility,
voucher
holder.
H
So
there's
further
filtering
there
and
then
there's
filtering
from
that
stage
to
the
next
one
of
those
who
are
able
to
find
housing,
because
maybe
there
isn't
an
adequate
supply
of
that
housing
stock
and
then
there's
another
layer
of
filter
filtering
that
there's
sometimes
additional
property
owner
criteria
related
to
credit
scores,
past
records
of
of
eviction
or
other
legal
issues,
even
sometimes
payment
methods
how
they
are
paying
their
landlord
could
be
an
issue,
and
so
there's
all
this
filtering
that
occurs
in
our
community
and
there's
different
types
of
interventions
that
can
deployed
at
different
portions
of
this
to
prevent
that
filtering
from
happening
next
slide.
H
Please,
and
so
what
we
recommend
is
something
other
interesting
areas
to
explore.
Some
of
these
are
in
the
process
of
being
explored
by
the
city
currently
by
just
one.
What
we
named
already,
why
do
those
voucher
disparities
exist
between
project-based
Factor
holders
and
tenant
Mobility
voucher
holders
to
this
is
something
that's
underway,
but
we
really
want
to
see
increased
investment
and
really
understand
moving
from
just
like
who
we
think
is
going
to
access
the
housing
to
who's
actually
getting
in
that
housing
and
really
increasing
that
monitoring.
H
That's
going
on
whether
it
be
City,
run
monitoring
or
assistance
from
another
party
to
understand
who
is
living
in
that
subsidy
subsidized
housing,
and
so
we
can
further
address
disparities
and
then
three,
when
we
think
of
valuation
of
projects
and
I've
heard
these
conversations
in
the
past.
H
So
nothing
new
here,
but
expanding
the
kind
of
the
scope
of
how
we
value
project
Beyond,
just
subsidy
per
unit
and
factor
in
things
when
we
compare
projects
like
maybe
per
like
subsidy
per
person
housed,
if
we
think
of
families
or
subsequent
Personnel
per
year,
when
we
want
to
factor
in
things
like
the
length
of
afford,
as
well,
rather
than
just
taking
the
one
clear-cut
number
of
subsidy
period.
So
that's
all
we
got
always
if
there's
any
laboring
questions
but
make
myself
available.
B
Thank
you,
I
mean
this
is
I,
think
it
just
think.
It's
incredible
information,
there's
a
lot
to
digest
there
too
councilwoman
any
particular
questions.
F
The
analysis
is
much
helpful
and
much
needed
right
now
to
kind
of
shape
our
future
investments
in
a
conversations
around
where
we
spend
our
dollar
and
who's
able
to
benefit
so
yeah.
A
lot
of
gratitude.
G
I
just
wanted
to
add,
and
first
of
all,
thanks
again
for
the
city
for
investing
in
this
project.
We
really
appreciate
it
and
thanks
to
the
city
staff,
for
all
of
your
help
and
making
it
possible
I.
Think
one
of
the
takeaways
for
me
is
that
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
pressure
coming
at
Council
to
really
focus
on
the
number
of
units
constructed,
but
when
we
focus
purely
on
the
number
of
units
constructed
Without
Really,
this
deeper
analysis
of
who
is
being
served.
G
We
could
in
fact
have
that
unintended
consequence
that
that
I
think
I
mentioned
at
the
top
of
this
presentation,
which
is
that
we
could
actually
increase
disparities
so
I,
just
thanks
for
this
opportunity
and
and
kudos
to
Garrett
and
everyone
for
the
good
work.
H
And
just
to
add
on
to
that
Kate
one
thing:
I
want
to
name
for
everyone
in
in
the
room
as
well.
Is
that
I'm
actively
talking
to
Sasha
about
how
this
can
feed
into
the
affordable
housing
plan
update?
So
these
are
not
separate
things
and
that
I've
even
offered
to
like
meet
with
the
consultant
talk
about
what?
Where
the,
what
data
do
we
have?
What
questions
are?
Are
we
asking
so
this
really
is
aligned
and
feeds
into
that
process?.
E
Was
there
a
survey?
Things
were
running
in
my
mind
where
we
asked
folks
in
the
community,
their
preference
and
the
response
was
they
would
almost
rather
see
they
were
more
concerned
with
more
deeply
affordable
units
than
other
types
of
units
or,
if
they
weren't
going
to
be
deeply
affordable.
They
didn't
care
how
much
the
if
you
had
a
greater
Supply.
E
D
Think
I
think
what
you're
talking
about
ahac
there
they
have
been
working
outside
of
their
regular
meetings
and
they
did
put
a
survey
out
to
agencies
who
work
with
folks
and
really
what
they're
trying
to
do
is
dig
down
into
the
luige
scoring
and
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
scoring.
D
So
there
was
a
question
I
think
like
what
should
the
priority,
be
it
wasn't
a
wide-ranging
survey
of
the
entire
Community.
It
was
mainly
agencies.
I
didn't
want
them
to
get
too
far
ahead
of
our
Consultants
before
they
get
a
chance
to
start
so
I,
don't
know
if
that's
what
you're
talking
about
or
not,
but.
E
D
Think
I
mean
I,
think
luige
was
created.
It
all
comes
down
to
like
what's
the
purpose
of
the
program
and
how
much
is
it
subsidized
right?
So
Luigi
could
Target
lower
income
folks,
but
the
subsidies
are
going
to
be
have
to
be
higher,
so
these
are
generally
usually
market
rate
developers
they're
running
their.
You
know,
proforma
analysis
and
they're.
Looking
at
what
the
Gap
is.
So
if
we
lower
the
amount
of
rent
coming
in
for
a
lower
income
household,
then
the
Gap
becomes
bigger
and
then
it
just
needs
more
subsidy.
E
It
often
makes
me
wonder:
I
was
having
a
conversation
with
someone
about
this
this
morning
and
maybe
next
time.
Okay,
y'all
can
look
into
this
I
wonder
if
there
are
times
when
we
say
we
want
to
get
to
X
Ami
and
then
folks
give
us
the
20
of
whatever
that
Ami
is
when
folks
are
in
the
business
of
making
money.
E
Could
that
potentially
take
what
would
have
been
a
market
rate?
Just
this
wouldn't
be
the
number?
What
would
have
been
a
market
rate
of
a
thousand
dollars?
Does
that
weirdly
incentivize
folks
to
instead
have
that
market
rate
be
1100.,
yes
dollars
and
we
have
unintentionally
actually
increased
the
fair
market
value?
Yes,.
D
D
Right
so
so
to
Garrett
said
it
very
well
like
so
this
part
of
the
plan
will
be
looking
at
this
exact
issue,
because
yeah
luige
has
a
very
specific
purpose,
was
to
put
affordable
housing
as
far
and
wide
as
we
could
in
every
project.
But
it's
a
lot
of
money
and
it's
a
lot
of
council.
You
know
City
resources,
and
so
now
the
question
is:
is
that
how
we
want
to
be
focusing
those
resources.
E
Because
my
broader
thought
is
okay:
if
we
do
a
luige
for
two
million
dollars
for
10
units,
would
we
be
better
off
using
that
two
million
dollars
in
tax
es
coming
in
to
increase
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
yearly
allotment
from
500
000
to
a
million
dollars
or
something
that's
just
what's
going
on?
In
my
mind,
it
is
not
a
statement
of
what
we
want
to
do
or
what
I
propose.
We
do
it's
just
how
I'm
thinking
of
it
right
now.
B
Fun
councilman
mostly
there's
a
stage
it
makes
me
wonder.
So
that's
why
I
mentioned
the
blue
circles
on
that
graph,
because
those
are
the
nchfa
tax
credit
projects
that
were
pairing
the
HTF
which
which
I
believe
if
I'm,
following
along
with
the
County's
progress
on
affordable
housing
and
rethink
years.
This
is
something
they've
just
deduced
as
their
target
as
well:
the
youth
to
really
partner
with
mchfa
project
and
help
loan
money
if
needed
or
contribute
money.
So
it
sounds
like
we
may
all
be
kind
of
funneling
towards
similar
Direction.
E
Allowances
for
non-profit
versus
for-profit,
just
instinctually
I
realized
that
the
lower
the
Ami,
the
more
the
subsidy
would
need
be
and
then
sometimes
I
feel
we
get
caught
up
in
oh
well.
This
is
being
developed.
You
know
at
a
greater
per
unit
subsidy
but
by
definition,
that's
what's
necessary
to
get
to
the
lower
in
your
minds.
But
okay.
B
I
had
a
couple
questions,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
not
interrupting.
Are
you
I'm,
not
sure?
Okay,
one
thing
I
thought
of
throughout
the
presentation,
especially
at
the
end
we
were
talking
about.
Mobility
vouchers
is
I
I
learned
a
couple
years
ago
that
the
process
for
getting
to
the
mobile
voucher,
housing
Choice
was
at
first
spending
a
year
in
a
project-based
voucher,
residency
and
I
had
reached
out
to
who
is
now
the
previous
director
David
Nash
for
hacker,
and
just
said
you
know:
where
did
this
rule
come
from?
B
You
have
to
be
in
a
project-based
voucher
for
12
months
before
you
can
get
the
mobile
one
and
it
was
an
internal
rule.
It's
something
that
can
be
changed
so
I,
don't
know.
If
we
as
we
navigate
this,
we
might
want
to
consider
that
you
know.
If
we're
going
to
be
subsidizing
things
and
stuff,
we
we
may
not
need
to
require
that
rule
and
blend
this
need
for
project-based
and
mobile
base
if
we
can
just
get
to
Mobile.
If
we
see
that
as
a
better
solution
or
more
needed
solution.
G
Sure,
just
real
quick,
this
is
Kate
I
I.
Think
I
would
discourage
that
myself
right
now.
We
know
that
project-based
voucher
holders
are
disproportionately
back
and
brown
folks,
and
so
this
is
one
way
in
which
we
actually
are
able
to
Advantage
that
group
by
ensuring
that
we
make
tenant
Mobility
vouchers
first
available
to
people
who
hold
pvvs.
If
we
open
it
up
to
the
community
in
general,
then
I
think
we're
going
to
lose
the
the
the
potential
Equitable
opportunity
we
have
here
to
really
provide
that
benefit
directly
to
this
community.
G
That
we
know
has
been
you
know,
least
benefited
by
other
opportunities.
B
Right
that
what
you're
getting
back
to
that
fly
that
showed
53
and
44,
okay
and
knowing
what
you've
earned
it
doesn't
make
sense
at
this
time.
But
thank
you
for
speaking
about
that
Kate
just
kind
of
thinking
out
loud
and
then
I
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
something,
because
if
we
go
back
to
the
very
beginning
of
this
presentation,
let
me
get
back
to
like
page
three
or
four
slide.
B
B
H
Flag,
absolutely
so
it's
essentially
from
the
U.S
cens
of
your
data
I
mean
the
gold
center
of
the
data
would
just
be
like
actually
have
all
that
have,
which
I
think
some
group.
What
percent
of
that
population
Falls
at
this
Ami
level
versus
that
like
have
all
that
and
then
also
even
bring
in
household
size
as
well
antenna
equation.
But
since
we
don't,
we
have
to
just
have
these
like
proxy
data.
H
So
the
exactly
exactly
what
you
said:
councilmember
Turner,
in
that
we
just
can
compare
it
to
different
Amis
compositions,
whether
it
be
household
size
or
actually
percent
of
that
Ami,
and
even,
however,
we
change
it.
The
particularly
black
African-American
and
Hispanic
Latino
households
fall
well
below
it.
We
we
talked
one
at
one
point
councilman
returned
that
one
way
in
which
we
can
get
those
data
is
the
the
Housing
Authority
do
have
data
on
household
size
and
they
have
race,
ethnicity,
based
data.
H
So
if
we
want
to
use
those
data
to
project
out,
we
could
do
it,
and
so
that's
one
vehicle.
B
Interesting,
okay,
so
with
additional
information
we
might
be
able
to
dig
deeper
okay.
Well,
not
the
good
segue
to
my
last
question,
described
interested
in
like
keeping
up
with
this
data,
I
mean
and
maybe
being
the
research
body
that
is
tasked
with
going
back
to
figure
out
what
actually,
who
was
actually
rented
to
I
mean
this
was
priceless
information
I
think,
especially
while
we're
opening
up
policy
and
trying
to
figure
out
the
true
impact
of
our
subsidies
and
intentions.
Right
I
mean,
if
that
something
that
I
might
consider
in
the
future.
G
Yeah
I
think
we'd
love
to
thrive
with
love
to
certainly
be
really
involved
in
the
creation
of
the
affordable
housing
plan,
as
Sasha
and
Garrett
have
always
been
already
been
working
together
and
I.
Think
we
want
to
support
that
and
definitely
stay
in
touch
with
asking
these
kinds
of
questions.
This
is
the
kind
of
work
I
think
that
we
really
need
to
be
having
more
information
and
I
think
as
a
non-profit
partner
with
the
city.
G
B
That's
great
I,
really
I
really
appreciate
the
effort
and
outcomes
of
this
information
already
I
mean
it's
just
very
helpful,
so
thank
you
to
everybody
involved
and
Garrett
for
your
GIS
abilities
there.
That
made
it
also
very
informative.
I
mean
if
you're
able
I
don't
know
if
everybody
will
be
able
to
hover
over
and
see
all
the
projects
and
stuff,
that's
a
public
faking
document,
but
if
so,
it's
great
all
right.
Any
other
questions
for
this
item
on
the
agenda
account
the
woman
or
staff
any
other
comments.
B
Okay,
we
are
going
to
give
you
a
close-up
item
two
on
the
agenda
for
those
of
you
listening
at
home,
thanks
to
everybody
that
was
able
to
call
in
and
assist
with
that,
moving
on
to
items
three,
which
is
the
reallocation
of
cdbg
funds
and
Dennis,
is
going
to
lead
us
off
and
I'm,
not
sure.
If
Dennis
has
been
properly
introduced,
it's
not
Nikki.
Do
you
want
to
maybe
give
him
a
welcome.
C
Sure
I'd
be
happy
to
do
that,
so
we
welcome
Dennis
as
our
new
Community
Development
Division
manager
in
May,
so
he
is
still
in
the
early
part
of
his
career
with
the
city
of
Asheville,
but
we
are
so
happy
to
have
Dennis.
He
comes
to
us
from
the
City
of
Clarksville
Tennessee,
where
he
worked
in
Community
Development,
Economic
Development
there
for
Clarksville,
and
he
has
a
a
long
career
in
in
administering
HUD
programs
in
different
municipalities
and
counties,
townships,
Across,
the
Nation,
so
we're
thrilled
to
have
Dennis
and
I
guess.
I
J
Perfect,
thank
you
guys.
So
the
project
at
ham
today
is
for
the
reallocation
of
cdbg
funds
to
a
project
at
108,
Patton
Avenue.
That's
aiming
to
expand
accessibility
on
that
street
next
slide.
Please,
the
key
takeaways,
the
city
of
Asheville
has
available
cdbg
funds
that
need
to
be
spent
in
order
to
meet
Hud's
timeliness
requirements.
The
Community
Development
Development
Division
identified
unallocated
cdbg
funds
and
recommended
funding
public
facilities,
public
Improvement
projects
and
projects
that
improve
accessibility
in
order
to
achieve
compliance
with
cdbg
program
timeliness
requirements.
J
After
the
submission
of
proposed
accessibility
projects
for
multiple
City
departments,
the
Community
Development
Division
determined
that
the
accessibility
project
located
at
108
Patton
Avenue,
was
the
best
fit
for
the
reallocation
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
cdbg
funds.
Proposed
activities
are
expected
to
be
completed
by
April
of
2024
and
will
be
funded
from
recaptured
prior
years.
Unobligated
cdbg
funds
distaction
is
going
to
require
an
amendment
to
the
HUD
annual
action
plan
in
order
to
proceed
with
the
project
next
slide.
J
The
Community
Development
staff
met
with
multiple
City
departments
to
discuss
projects
and
their
Capital
plans
that
would
meet
HUD
cdbg
requirements
and
address
accessibility
concerns.
After
reviewing
all
proposed
projects
for
cdbg
eligibility
benefit
and
overall
cost
staff
is
recommending
that
the
accessibility
project
located
at
108
Patton
Avenue
between
Cox
and
Ashland,
should
be
considered
for
funding
at
the
estimated
price
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
pros
improvements
are
to
replace
the
curb
ramps
and
the
sidewalk
on
both
sides
of
Patton
Avenue.
J
This
project
is
also
located
in
an
area
that
has
access
to
multiple
essential
services,
including
the
Federal
Building
Health
and
Human
Services,
the
U.S
post,
Office
Banks
and
is
less
than
a
block
away
from
the
art
station.
The
proposed
activity
is
consistent
with
the
goals
and
objectives
of
the
cdbg
program
and,
additionally,
this
project
was
identified
as
a
top
priority
in
the
cities.
Gap
plan
next
slide.
Please
here's
some
pictures
of
the
site.
You
can
clearly
see
that
it's
in
pretty
pretty
bad
shape
right
now,
there's
not
any
curb
ramps
that
are
accessible.
J
E
J
So
it's
right
here.
The
bank
is
I,
can't
even
point
it
out,
so
actually
yeah
it's
right
in
front
of
that
bank
on
both
sides
of
the
street.
There
is
a
more
detailed
map
in
the
staff
report.
E
So
I'll
go
ahead
and
say
something
it's
of
course
not
a
Direction,
but
I'd
spoken
to
some
folks
at
one
of
the
locations
and
they're
still
kind
of
up
in
arms
about
the
proposed
bike.
Lanes
right
there,
so
I
think
it
would
behoove
us
to
speak
with
them
directly.
I
think
they
would
likely
be
supportive
of
this,
but
I'd
encourage
us
to
speak
with
them
directly
and
taking
this
position
of
this,
not
that
this
is
what
is
going
to
happen,
but
to
elicit
their
ideas
about
what
is
going
to
happen.
E
B
Yeah
interesting
mention
there
I
was
thinking
similarly
just
about
how
you
doing
came
to
Patton
Avenue
without
reaching
out
to
those
businesses
might
mean
a
midstep
I
have
more
of
a
background
like
how
we
got
to
this
project
question
councilman
Mosley,
were
you
complete
with
your
I?
Am
okay
I'm
just
trying
right
so
maybe
fact
can
help
me
and
I
don't
mean
to
confuse
anyone
listening
in,
but
this
is
previous
unallocated
or
allocated
but
deemed
unused
fun,
ddbg
funds
from
several
years
back
and
I.
B
Think
as
I
recall
it's
from
the
non-public
services
amount.
Can
anyone
confirm
this
because
what
comes
to
mind
is
like
they're
These
cdbg
funds
have
done
a
myriad
of
things
from
helping
Economic,
Development
and
small,
like
Small
Business,
Development
Habitat
for
Humanity,
home
repairs
and
stuff,
so
I'm
kind
of
trying
to
draw
the
line
from
how
we
got
to
those
more
typical
uses
to
what
almost
seems
like
sidewalk,
repair
and
I.
B
I
With
respect
to
the
Community
Development
block
grant
program
and
as
Nikki
introduced
me
as
new
one
of
the
very
first
things
that
I
have
a
responsibility
to
do
was
to
kind
of
go
back
through
pastures
funds
that
were
determined
to
be
unobligated
and
to
figure
out
a
use
for
those
funds
that
was
further
Amplified
by
the
fact
that
we
received
notification
from
HUD
a
couple
of
months
ago
that
we
had
some
money
in
the
grocery
line
item.
I
That's
a
treasury
Council
we
needed
to
spend,
and
so
in
coming
up
with
this
project
and
for
those
of
you
that
are
familiar
with
the
Community
Development
block
grant
program
from
a
holistic
perspective,
we're
involved
in
activities
that
involve
obviously
things
inside
the
home
health
care,
nutrition,
employment,
but
also
things
that
affect
the
community
from
a
visual
standpoint,
so
infrastructure,
Parks,
curbs
and
sidewalks.
Those
type
of
things
too,
in
addition
to
the
public
services
activities
that
you
spoke
of
with
respect
to
accessibility.
I
Accessibility
is
one
of
those
things
that
will
affect
someone
in
our
lives.
At
some
point
and
to
be
proactive,
we
were
challenged
to
come
up
with
ideas
of
ways
that
we
could
effectively
reduce
the
amount
of
architectural
barriers
within
the
community.
This
particular
project
on
patent
history
kind
of
goes
into
play
with
the
other
activities
that
go
in
there
and
councilwoman
I
heard
you're
concerned
a
few
moments
ago.
I
I
know
the
city
will
take
great
efforts
to
make
certain
that
all
the
residents
or
businesses
are
notified
and
asked
for
their
input
as
part
of
the
project.
But
yes,
with
regards
to
the
use
of
funds,
they
do
represent
past
funds
prior
years,
funds
that
are
unobligated
and
we'll
continue
to
evaluate
those
funds
and
perhaps
come
back
with
similar
projects,
but
not
necessarily
of
the
Public
Services
out,
primarily
because
Public
Services
activities
are
capped
administratively
or
legally,
rather
at
15
of
the
grant
allocation.
So
we're
looking
at
physical
Improvement
projects.
B
You
know
so
one
of
the
thank
you
for
that
back
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
reminded
of
fellow
councilwoman
I,
know:
I,
don't
know
if
you
were
I
was
kind
of
surprised
to
see
the
company
agenda.
But
alongside
us
we
have
a
request
coming
from
Compass
Point
Village
for
more
money,
because
they
can't
complete
I,
hear
councilman
Roney
talking
about
bus,
shelters
and
I'm,
just
wondering
like
so
I
guess,
whatever
happens
at
this
committee
level
will
go
to
council,
but
I'm.
I
It
was
my
opinion
at
the
point
in
time
that
we
were
asked
about
the
possibility
of
using
CVS
cdbg
funds
that
it
would
have
in
fact
tainted
the
entire
project,
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is:
is
that
all
other
regulations
in
regards
to
the
environment
in
regards
to
Labor,
Relations
I,
would
have
come
into
play
and
would
have
had
a
very
negative,
financially
impact
on
that
project.
We
have
discussed,
and
we
hope
to
continue
discussing
going
forward
as
they
complete
this
first
project
going
forward.
I
The
second
phase
and
figure
out
a
way
that
we
can
be
involved
in
the
project
in
a
manner
that's
economical
for
both
the
organization
as
well
as
for
the
community
and
to
help
them
further
their
objectives
that
provided
the
housing
for
homelessness.
I
So
was
it
an
oversight
and
we
actually
did
talk
to
a
few
organizations
about
the
possibilities
of
other
activities
that
could
be
undertaken,
but
with
respect
to
the
actual
costs
associated
with
it
from
an
economical
standpoint,
it
actually
turned
out
to
be
a
lot
easier
to
undertake
this
particular
activity
with
our
own
City
courses.
Therefore,
not
triggering
a
lot
of
the
laws
and
regulations
that
are
associated
with
the
receipt
of
federal
funds
and
by
ultimately
undertaking
an
activity
that
would
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
good
for
the
community.
B
Thank
you
for
the
additional
contact
Dennis
ahead
of
the
council
meeting
I'm
wondering
if
those
council
members
that
are
not
on
hcd
and
not
familiar
with
all
of
the
things
we
do
other
than
reviewing
the
annual
action
plan
when
we
bring
it
to
them,
may
have
more
questions
about
this,
and
may
it
may
warrant
a
little
more
defining
and
you
know
what
Public
Service
versus
non-public
service
I,
just
I
know
I'm
going
to
bring
it
up.
So
just
a
little
heads
up,
I'm
a
little
more
Curious
of
what
could
be
done
with
these
funds.
I
I
I
think
that,
with
respect
to
this
particular
one,
given
the
fact
of
where
Laura
said
it
was
located,
given
the
fact
that
the
best
that
would
be
tremendous
upon
completing
the
activity
from
our
standpoint,
along
with
the
fact
that
it's
something
that
could
be
done
with
it
around
of
a
short
period
of
time,
it's
made
perfect
sense
to
go
forward
with
this.
One.
B
C
Thank
you.
This
is
Nikki
I
I
do
want
to
want
to
chime
in
an
underscore
the
need
to
spin
These
funds
in
a
timely
manner.
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
most
prominent
reasons
why
we
looked
internally
for
the
allocation
of
these
funds
to
a
sidewalk
project
is
really
just
to
try
to
meet
the
deadline
with
the
expenditure
of
funds.
That
seemed
to
be
a
a
big
driver
in
the
decision
making
here
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear.
J
April
of
2024
I
wanted
to
reiterate
that
as
well.
Nikki
is
that
one
of
the
hindrances
of
finding
projects
was
the
timeliness,
because
between
coming
to
hcd
council
Public
Notices,
most
of
the
other
projects
that
we
looked
at
would
just
not.
They
would
not
be
completed
by
the
deadline.
B
Okay,
they
are
looking
for
recommendation
I'm,
taking
an
action.
Would
anyone
like
to
make
a
motion
sure
I'd
be
happy.
E
To
I
recommend
that
city
council
reallocate
a
total
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
previous
year's
Community
Development
block
grant
funds
to
the
accessibility,
Expansion
Project,
located
at
108
Patton
Avenue
as
an
amendment
to
the
HUD
annual
action
plan
and
authorized
the
city
manager
to
sign
all
necessary
documents
to
this
effect.
Second,.
B
Okay
and
because
we're
virtual
I'll
do
a
roll
call,
vote,
countable
and
Mosley
hi
councilman,
Smith
aye
and
myself
May
and
the
item
will
still
move
forward
to
council
for
recommendation.
Thank
you
for
those
of
you.
Listening
at
home,
we
have
completed
item
number
three:
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
number
four,
which
is
revised:
affordability
terms
for
Haywood
Street,
Housing,
Trust,
Fund,
loan
and
I.
Think
Sasha's
you're
going
to
lead
us
through
that
one.
Please.
D
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
Turner,
so
this
item
is
I'm,
Sasha,
martinski
again
and
Reverend
Brian
Combs
is
also
here
today.
D
Haywood
Street,
Community
Development
has
a
project
at
West,
Haywood
street,
that
the
city
has
invested
a
lot
of
funds
in
and
they
are
asking
to
revise
their
Housing
Trust
Fund
terms,
not
loan
terms,
but
affordability
terms.
Next,
so
just
a
few
key
takeaways
in
February
of
2022
city
council
authorized
a
land
purchase
agreement
and
a
Housing
Trust
Fund
loan
with
Haywood
Street
Community
Development
for
45
rental
homes,
and
since
then
they
have
Incorporated
additional
land
into
the
development
site
and
redesigned
their
building.
In
order
to
address
Rising
construction
costs.
D
The
redesign
of
the
development
has
resulted
in
changes
to
the
affordability
mix
that
require
Council
approval.
Revisions
include
a
reduction
of
the
number
of
units
from
45
to
41
and
changes
to
the
Ami
thresholds
and
bedroom
mix
and
I
will
also
say.
The
changes
to
the
project
will
be
coming
to
city
council
tomorrow
night
as
a
revision
to
their
conditional
zoning.
D
D
So
just
some
background
on
the
Project
funding.
These
are
a
list
of
the
different
pieces
of
funding
from
the
city
of
Asheville
and
other
organizations,
so
the
city
of
Asheville
gave
a
grant
for
the
purchase
of
land
and
1.3
million.
We
also
have
a
grant
for
pre-development
costs
of
296
000
and
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
loan
at
904,
000.,
Buncombe
County,
and
that
I'm
realizing.
That
should
also
say
Grant
I
believe
for
construction.
749
000.
in
Dogwood
Health
Trust
also
gave
a
grant
for
2
million.
D
D
This
is
on
the
edge
of
the
weekend
neighborhood,
if
you
remember
in
240,
is
below
so
there
is
a
lot
of
topography
on
the
site,
so
construction
costs
can
be
high
when
you're
dealing
with
a
topographical
site
like
that
so
they've
redesigned
the
building
and
the
loan
terms
will
remain
the
same,
and
the
loan
terms
are
there's
no
interest
in
deferred
payments
for
the
first
10
years
interest
only
at
one
percent
for
the
next
10
years
and
the
year
20.
D
The
loan
will
either
convert
to
an
advertising
loan
I'm
a
30-year
amortization
at
one
percent
interest
or
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
principle
will
be
repaid
in
full
as
a
part
of
our
refinance
of
the
total
debt
stack
at
that
time.
Next,.
D
They
do
intend
to
lease
90
of
the
units
to
voucher
holders
so
that
that's
a
pretty
high
number
to
commit
to
on
a
permanent
basis,
because
this
is
a
permanent,
affordable
project.
So
they
would
like
50
in
the
deed
restriction.
But
really
they
are
going
to
begin
by
leasing
for
90
and
I.
Think
they
will
do
that
as
long
as
it's
economically
feasible
for
their
project
and
Reverend.
Combs
can
address
that
more.
D
If,
if
you
like,
and
then
the
bedroom
mix
has
changed
a
little
slightly,
we
have
an
additional
three
bedroom
unit
and
and
then
pretty
much
close
to
the
same
thing
with
that
reduction
of
overall
units.
Next,
so
staff
is
recommending
approval
based
on
the
following.
D
The
revised
structure
gives
them
some
flexibility
so
that
families
that
come
in
with
vouchers
as
they
increase
their
income
and
get
better
jobs
that
you're
not
forced
out
at
some
point
and
that
they
can
grow
economically
in
the
project.
Fifty
percent
of
the
units
will
be
reserved
for
voucher
holders
and
they
intend
to,
as
I
said
before,
and
tend
to
lease
90
of
them,
two
voucher
holders
for
those
who
have
incomes
below
50
percent
and
based
on
their
Benchmark
of
eighty
thousand
dollars
subsidy
per
unit.
D
D
And
so
then
we
have
our
recommended
motion
and
that
I
guess
the
last
slide
is
key
takeaways
again,
but
that
concludes
my
presentation
would
be
happy
to
take
questions
and
Reverend.
Combs
is
here
as
well.
B
E
B
Wait
a
second
all
right
and
because
we're
virtual
we'll
do
a
roll
call
note,
councilwoman,
Moses,
hi,
councilwoman,
Smith
aye
and
my
felt
Sage
I.
Thank
you
very
much
that
item
we'll
move
on
to
city
council
I
believe
tomorrow
night
with
our
recommendations.
Okay,
so
looking
back
at
today's
agenda,
that
is
the
closure
of
item
number
four
and
we're
moving
into
public
comment.
Katie.
Do
we
have
anybody
online
wishing
to
make
a
public
comment.
A
B
Thank
you
to
everybody
for
today's
effort,
I'm
just
really
thrilled
to
think
of
the
data
that
came
from
today,
as
well
as
projects
that
will
continue
to
move
forward
and
I
guess
with
that
said,
we
are
adjourned
and
I
hope
you
enjoy
the
rest
of
your
day.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
