The

and
we'll
move
swiftly
on
to
item
number
two
on
our
agenda,
which
is
the
haywood
street
community
development
proposal,
and
I
believe
we
have
jonathan
who's.
Introducing
this,
I'm
sorry
that'll,
be
me
vicki
reed,.
D
Thank
you
nikki
great,
so
jenna.
If
you
could
hold
those
slides
up,
we
have
a
presentation
that
we'll
share
today,
so
I
am
here
to
present
on
the
land,
acquisition
and
housing
trust
fund,
request
from
haywood
street
community
development
next
slide
and
so
we'll
go
over
the
background,
their
proposal,
their
concept,
the
funding,
the
goals
for
affordable
housing
on
this
site
and
the
action
requested
next
slide.
D
This
will
be
haywood,
street's,
first
effort
towards
developing
permanent
residential
apartments
here
in
asheville,
but
they
are
partnering
with
partners
that
have
an
extensive
experience
in
this
space,
and
so
previously,
I
believe
it
was
last
fall.
City
council
had
authorized
a
grant
in
the
amount
of
296
thousand
dollars
for
due
diligence
and
associated
pursuit
costs
for
haywood
street
for
this
project,
so
meaning
the
architectural
and
other
design
costs
geotechnical.
Things
like
that
around
this
site
in
this
proposal
next
slide
so
you'll
see
here.
This
is
a
little
bit
of
information
around
the
property
itself.
D
So
this
project
is
completely
100,
affordable
for
a
a
permanent
affordability
and
you'll
note
that
this
funding
request
is
coming
before
you
today.
The
applicant
is
also
pursuing
a
conditional
zoning
that
talks
about
the
design
and
the
context
of
the
site
itself.
D
I'm
joined
today
also
by
shannon
tuck
and
sasha
vertunsky,
shannon
is
managing
that
process
through
the
conditional
zoning.
But
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
that
that's
been
a
parallel
track
that
haywood
street
has
been
pursuing,
while
also
pursuing
the
the
funding
for
the
project,
so
next
slide.
Jenna,
so
you'll
see
here's
a
schematic.
I
know
the
conditional
zoning
will
go
more
into
the
details
around
the
property
itself.
D
D
So
here's
our
our
main
point
of
what
we
want
to
share
with
the
hcd
committee
today
and
really
talk
through
the
funding
for
the
project,
because,
as
we
look
at
affordable
housing,
it's
really
important
to
understand
how
all
the
numbers
work,
because
that's
truly
truly.
The
issue
is
how
the
math
works
to
have
affordable
housing
built
in
the
asheville
area.
D
So
when
we
look
at
a
total
project
for
this,
their
total
project
budget
is
just
over
10
million
dollars,
and
so
that
includes
the
land
acquisition
costs,
as
well
as
the
estimated
7.4
for
the
construction
costs
of
the
of
the
project
and
what
they
have
done
is
they
have
looked
at
a
mix
of
funding
to
really
support
their
project
budget
and
so
right.
Now.
The
request
before
you
today
is
to
look
at
a
bond
allocation
of
1.3
million
for
the
land
acquisition.
D
A
two
million
dollar
grant
that
is
currently
in
applications,
so
that
has
not
been
awarded
yet,
but
that
has
been
part
of
their
funding
mix
and
I
know
that
application
is
in
process
with
dogwood
health
trust,
so
that
is
really
their
public
sources
of
funding
and
their
philanthropic
sources
of
funding.
D
So
let's
talk
terms
so,
let's
get
into
the
terms
of
the
city's
funding
in
this
project.
So
you'll
see
on
this
the
slide.
The
proposed
terms
for
the
housing
trust
fund.
So
what's
really
important
to
remember
about
the
city's
housing
trust
fund-
and
I
didn't
realize
this-
but
it's
been
in
existence
now
for
over
20
years,
which
I
think
is
quite
quite
amazing,
just
considering
the
city's
commitment
to
affordable
housing,
so
having
this
is
a
20-year
asset
is,
is
quite
quite
amazing,
I
think
so,
when
we
look
at
the
housing
trust
fund.
D
So
what
you
see
here
how
they
have
proposed
these
terms
is
that
for
the
first
10
years
of
the
project
existence,
they
really
want
to
stabilize
the
project
stabilize
the
rents,
ensure
operations
are
in
order,
and
so
having
a
no
interest
and
no
payments
for
the
first
10
years
was.
D
So
what
this
means
is
that
the
total
relationship
for
the
loan
here
with
the
city
and
the
haywood
street
is
based
on
a
potential
of
50
years
and
that's
important
to
keep
in
mind,
because
that
is
currently
above
the
policy
that
we
have
for
housing
trust
fund.
But
in
this
case
we
look
at
the
permanent
affordability
and
the
deep
affordability
to
provide
justification
for
this.
B
D
D
And
with
that,
we'll
move
on
next
slide
so
in
terms
of
the
land
they're,
also
seeking
a
grant
of
1.3
million
for
the
purchase
of
the
acreage
at
west
haywood
street.
And
so
when
we
look
at
this
type
of
arrangement,
the
land
itself
will
be
the
security
interest
for
the
city's
investment
here.
D
D
We've
talked
about
that.
We've
considered
that
it's
and
I
think
in
this
case
what
was
what
what
we
understood
is
that
having
actually
the
funds
repaid
was
the
priority
here,
and
so
we
have
had
opportunities
where
the
property
itself
reverts
to
the
city.
D
Okay,
so
next
slide,
please!
So
again,
I
think
when
we
look
at
the
level
of
partnership
that
the
city
is
contemplating
here,
we
really
want
to
be
intentional
about
what
we
hope
to
accomplish
in
partnership
with
haywood
street.
So
first,
it's
this
strategic
opportunity
to
invest
in
a
partner
who's,
offering
deep
affordability
and
also
this
this
community
of
care
and
connection
with
haywood
streets,
core
services
and
we'll
hear
more
about
that
from
the
applicant.
D
This
project
is
really
ideally
located
near
many
downtown
employment
opportunities,
good
access,
access
to
transit
and
essential
services.
I
mean
really
right
in
our
city
core,
and
so
I
think
we
all
recognize
the
expense
associated
with
building
in
our
core,
but
also
the
unique
opportunity
that
it
provides
to
individuals
living
there
to
not
have
to
have
a
car
to
be
close
to
employment
opportunities
and
to
be
close
to
services
that
would
be
necessary
so
really
having
this
ideal
location.
I'm
thinking
too
about
that
neighborhood.
D
You
know
the
overall
neighborhood
and
thinking
about
what
we're
wanting
to
see
with
a
truly
mixed
income,
neighborhoods
that
are
the
most
sustainable
for
our
community
and
looking
at
that,
I
think,
is
another
key
point
about
the
location
of
the
property,
also
we're
seeing
that
this
leverages
partnership
from
both
buncombe
county
and
dogwood
health
trust,
pending
their
approval.
B
Nikki,
if
I
may,
I
just
want
to
highlight-
what's
really
we're
saying
here:
this
is
a
partnership
between
the
county,
the
city
and
dogwood,
and
you
know
this
just
a
tremendous
thing
to
point
out
that
all
three
entities
are
coming
together
on
this
project.
It's
it's
a
new
trend
and
I'm
thankful
for
the
partners.
D
So
we
are
asking
the
committee
to
take
action
today,
we're
asking
for
a
motion
to
support
this
request
by
haywood
street
for
the
1.3
million
in
funding
to
purchase
the
land,
the
904
of
the
housing
trust
fund
for
construction
for
the
45
permanently
affordable
rental
homes.
So
we
are
asking
for
that
action
today
and
as
as
per
our
process,
we
do
have
brian
combs
and
more
griffin
who
are
joining
us
today,
and
I
think
we
wanted
to
give
time
for
the
applicant
to
share
and
answer
any
questions.
F
Yes,
thank
you
councilwoman
for
the
invitation
to
be
here,
we're
so
glad
to
finally
be
arriving
at
this
moment,
rather
than
offering
a
lengthy
presentation,
I'll
just
underscore
five
points
and
then
defer
to
whatever
questions
you
all
might
have.
F
Despite
numerous
attempts
to
clarify
there
are
a
number
of
groups
in
town
that
are
still
uncertain
about
our
proposal.
Just
to
be
clear,
we
are
not
suggesting
permanent
supportive
housing
nor
providing
direct
services
nor
a
high
access
shelter
instead,
as
nikki
pointed
out,
we're
proposing
45,
deeply
affordable
apartments
on
the
edge
of
downtown
100
affordable
in
perpetuity
and
we're
asking
that
the
land
be
deed,
restricted.
F
Accordingly,
of
all
the
statistics
in
the
bowen
report,
the
one
that's
most
glaring
to
us
is
the
need
for
24
000
units
regionally
and
that
half
of
those
need
to
be
at
30
area
median
income
and
following
the
data
23
of
our
units,
will
accept
vouchers
for
residents
earning
up
to
15
000
a
year
wanting
to
be
a
good
neighbor.
We
have
attempted
to
be
exhausted
in
our
attempts
at
outreach.
In
the
weekend,
neighborhood
we've
collected
nearly
200
contacts
via
phone
email
text
and
in-person
gatherings.
We've
held
four
voluntary
on-site
public
conversations.
F
In
addition
to
the
required
trc
meeting,
we've
created
a
transparency
tracker
online
with
every
date,
drawing
an
upcoming
decision,
and
we've
tried
to
honor
the
history
of
the
neighborhood
through
incorporating
a
number
of
mill,
cottage
design
elements
in
the
architecture
and
we're
leaning
towards
naming
the
building
after
a
local
heroine
of
color,
while
haywood
street
intends
annually
to
pursue
the
next
deal.
This
is
our
first
project
and
knowing
that
we've
tried
to
grow
our
capacity
in
a
number
of
ways,
givens
estates
has
nearly
40
years
of
experience
with
senior
communities,
two
of
which
are
affordable.
F
They
have
nearly
1500
residents
across
asheville
and
waynesville
and
we're
finalizing
a
contract
with
them
to
handle
our
property
management.
Ward
griffin
who's
with
us
today
is
our
contractor
and
consultant.
He
has
20
years
of
experience
and
500
transactions,
including
with
voucher
holders
and
building
multi-family,
and
he's
had
a
chance
to
work
on
every
side
of
the
table,
brokerage
sales,
lending
construction
and
development
and
then
on
the
church
side
of
things.
F
Finally,
equity
is
just
not
an
important
consideration
to
us.
It's
an
essential
one,
considering
the
white
supremacy
entrenched
in
our
nation's
housing
policy.
We
must
consider
displaced
and
disenfranchised
folks
first
and
to
do
so,
we
will
have
an
aggressive
affirmative,
fair
housing,
marketing
plan.
F
So,
on
behalf
of
haywood
street
community
development
and
the
many
vulnerable
citizens
who've
informed
our
proposal,
we're
so
grateful
again
to
be
here
today,
and
I
especially
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
the
city's
incredible
leadership
over
the
past
year
to
help
us
arrive
at
this
very
moment.
So
again,
we're
very
interested
in
your
questions
and
again,
thank
you
for
being
here
today.
B
E
Actually
antoinette
does
not
have
a
question
antoinette
wants
to.
Thank
you
for
your
thoughtful
approach
to
equity.
I
appreciate
it.
I
appreciate
you
and
the
work
that
you
do.
C
C
This
has
been
a
long
and
rough
road
and
I
I
can
imagine
you
could
have
found
a
lot
of
exit
ramps,
but
you
stuck
to
it
formed
a
lot
of
great
relationships
in
the
midst
of
conflict.
C
So
what
you
have
landed
on
today,
I'm
in
total
approval
of-
and
I
do
have
one
question
about
funding
partners.
It
seems,
like
you
know,
when
we're
in
this
partnership
with
other
major
funders,
whether
non-governmental
or
philanthropic.
You
know,
there's
kind
of
like
this
domino
effect.
C
One
is
waiting
on
the
other
to
to
fall
into
a
project.
So
I
just
have
a
question
about
dogwood's
commitment.
Is
there
commitment
contingent
on
the
disapproval
today
and
the
greater
approval,
and
that
will
come
before
full
council.
F
Thank
you
for
that
question.
Their
commitment
is
contingent
on
a
number
of
things
like
doing
a
an
appraisal
making
sure
property
management
contract
has
been
signed.
The
capital
stack
is
finalized,
so
they
are
watching
what
you
all
are
doing
very
closely
and,
and
their
letter
reflects
that,
I'm
happy
to
send
the
letter
that
they
literally
have
have
written
in
the
past
few
weeks
confirming
their
commitment
to
this
project.
If
that's
helpful,.
C
That'll
be
helpful
and
thank
you
again
to
all
the
funders
who,
no
matter
when
you
fall
in
you
know
we
we
need
all
hands
on
deck
and
I
love
this
project
because
love
have
loved
it
from
the
very
beginning
and
I'm
glad
we
have
a
nice
landing
spot.
E
D
3.2,
thank
you
right
now,
when
we
and
I'm
working
on
growing
my
capacity
to
understand
the
housing
trust
fund,
because
it
is
a
revolving
loan
fund.
So
every
year
we
have
that
500
000
influx
from
the
general
fund.
We
also
have
payoff
that
occurs
on
a
on
a
regular
basis,
so
we're
trying
to
assess
how
all
those
variables
factor
into
the
housing
trust
fund,
but
I
think
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
we're
looking
at
right
now
is
a
capacity
of
2.3
and
so
2.3
million.
D
So
that
is
what
we're
calling
our
rough
balance
right
now,
which
will
will
flux,
and
I
want
to
provide
an
update
on
a
more
regular
basis,
so
we're
able
to
keep
track
on
that,
but
right
now,
without
accounting
for
the
future
allocations.
That
may
happen
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
Our
balance
is
at
2.3.
D
That's
what
I
that's
what
I
understand
I've
been
trying
to
really
dig
deep
on
looking
at
some
of
our
guiding
documents
that
have
have
been
developed
over
the
years
and
it
I
think
what
I
saw
was
that
it
was
a
20-year
program.
So
I'm
very,
I
really
want
to
dig
into
that
and
provide
more
context
for
that
to
this
committee
at
a
later
date,
because
that's
been
what
I
understand,
I.
B
Can
share
a
little
bit
about
that,
so
the
policy
is
that
old.
Roughly,
however,
it
didn't
work
for
a
long
time
and
it's
not
used
and
I've
spent
five
years
on
the
affordable
housing
committee
and
each
year
we
did
a
few
tweaks
to
it
and,
as
you
know
recently
or
just
last
summer,
we
added
a
whole
new.
B
So
the
the
first
project
that
ever
used
this
kind
of
loan-
I
think
it
was
10
years
ago,
so
it
wasn't
used
for
a
long
time.
It's
been
tweaked
to
be
better.
I
think
the
research
on
that
the
timeline
would
be
helpful.
As
with
luigi
you
know
both
of
these
programs.
We
could
do
a
little
review
on
in
the
future.
B
I
do
want
to
say
a
couple
things.
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
cut
you
off
today.
B
Oh,
that's
great,
so
a
couple
things
stick
out
about
this
project.
For
me
the
permanent
affordability.
This
is
a
really
rare.
This
is
like
the
unicorn
of
affordable
housing
projects,
the
permanence
a
lot
of
times.
What
we
do
is
see:
20
years
of
affordability
or
even
in
the
luigi
arena,
we'll
see
like
16
years,
but
the
I
think
the
aston
360
hillary
next
to
the
aston
is
the
first
one
we
had
at
50
years.
B
So
this
permanent
is
quite
impressive
and
I
appreciate
the
applicant
figuring
out
a
way
to
do
that
because
it
seems
to
be
impossible
for
others.
I
also
want
to
point
out
a
great
appreciation.
I
have
for
accepting
vouchers
and
a
little
background
on
that.
So
residents
in
our
community
that
have
a
housing
voucher
in
hand,
they
have
to
they're
required
to
spend
one
year
in
a
public
housing
neighborhood
before
that
voucher
is
considered.
B
I
don't
know
the
term
like
out
on
the
street
where
you
can
go
into
other
rental
arenas
and
rent
a
home,
and
we
constantly
hear
that
we
don't
have
enough
locations
or
units
accepting
vouchers.
And
it's
very
true.
B
I'm
very
supportive
of
this.
I
know
that
this
project
has
been
working
and
these
applicants
have
been
working
together
for
a
long
time
and
to
vice
mayor
schnike's
point
about
the
leveraging
the
partnerships
and
when
they
fall
in
it
has
been
challenging
for
the
community
and
these
various
partners
to
figure
out
how
to
do
this
together
and
in
what
order.
B
And
I
would
like
to
motion
to
support
a
request
by
haywood
street
community
development
for
1.3
million
in
funding
to
purchase
land
and
904
000
housing
trust
fund
to
construct,
45
permanently
affordable
rental
homes
and
property
located
at
343
and
357
west
haywood
street
in
the
city
of
asheville
and
move.
This
request
to
council.
E
B
Great,
I
do
want
to
make
one
more
point.
I
wanted
to
mention
that
I
just
forgot
the
average
unit
in
our
own
studies
that
we've
done
at
the
city
of
asheville
and
in
the
history
of
of
portable
housing
development.
We
have
found
that
we
need
to
spend
eighty
thousand
to
a
hundred
thousand
per
unit
to
create
an
affordable
unit
at
80
ami.
B
B
B
D
Okay
and
so
I'll
kick
us
off
and
then
we'll
turn
it
over
to
rachel
to
go
through
the
presentation.
So,
yes,
we
are
here
to
update
about
the
strategic
partnership
funds
jennifer
share
the
next
slide.
D
D
One
of
my
tasks
as
director
is
to
really
try
to
understand
how
our
our
processes
for
our
different
grant
cycles
coalesce
and
really
what
our
goals
are
relative
to
managing
staff,
compatib
capacity
and
managing
our
resources
to
create
a
sustainable
funding
cycle
for
spf.
So
really
one
of
my
first
thoughts
with
this
with
this
funding
program
is
to
acknowledge
some
of
the
existing
work
that
we
manage.
As
you
all
know,
we're
kind
of
in
the
midst
of
our
cdbg
and
home
cycles.
D
Right
now,
applications
were
due
february
4th
and
a
little
bit
later,
we'll
have
jonathan
talk
to
you
about,
what's
upcoming
for
for
those
funding
cycles
as
well
as
kind
of
a
a
brand
new
thing,
was
the
arpa
funding
process?
That's
currently
underway
and
that's
been
something-
that's
happened
within
the
past
couple
of
years,
since
fbf
sbf
has
been
on
hold
that
presented
new
funding
in
our
community
and
then
also
so,
everyone
understands
the
home
arp
funds.
That
process
is
beginning
to
ramp
up.
D
So
the
home
arp
was
a
separate
allocation
of
4.7
million
dollars
to
specifically
address
the
issues
around
people
experiencing
homelessness
in
our
community,
with
funding
being
designated
for
our
four-county
partnership
through
the
home
consortium
to
to
manage
those
funds.
So
our
staff
team
is
going
to
be
on
point
for
doing
the
home
art
process
as
well.
We
talked
more
about
that
at
our
most
recent
home
consortium
meeting.
D
So
for
me,
just
trying
to
balance
and
understand
all
these
different
funding
cycles
that
we
are
engaged
with,
how
that
impacts
the
capacity
of
our
nonprofits
as
well.
It
was
really
important,
like
I
said,
for
the
sustainability
of
this
funding
to
get
that
cycle
right,
and
so
what
we're
hoping
to
accomplish
is
to
look
at
allocations
within
this
fall
cycle,
so
really
develop
our
process,
such
that
by
the
fall
of
this
year.
D
We
are
seeing
these
projects
go
into
contract
and
really
see
that
money
being
distributed
within
the
community
and
really
trying
to
match
that
also
with
non-profit
fiscal
calendars
as
well.
So
that's
really.
Our
first
point
is
to
really
be
cognizant
of
how
a
lot
of
funding
is
out
in
the
community
right
now
and
how
these
funds
also
are
going
to
play
a
role
in
that
and
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
proper
staff
resources
and
capacity
to
manage
that.
D
But
the
second
point
I
want
to
underscore
is
that
you
know,
given
that
there's
been
some
time
lapse
with
these
funds.
We
want
to
ensure
commitment
and
fidelity
to
this
process
that
we
really
want
to
prioritize
strategic
partnership
funds
as
part
of
the
community
economic
development
department
and
you'll,
hear
later
from
rachel
taylor.
D
A
All
right
thanks,
nikki
jenna,
next
slide
slide.
Please
thanks
all
right,
so
we've
had
a
couple
of
changes
since
I
believe
we
we
at
the
department
last
came
and
talked
to
you
all
about
spf,
so
I
wanted
to
take
a
moment
and
introduce
our
core
project
team.
So
of
course
nikki
reed
is
our
director,
alex
mitchner
will
be
providing
project,
support
and
myself
rachel
taylor
I'll,
be
acting
in
a
sort
of
project
manager
capacity.
A
I
also
want
to
thank
and
and
highlight
that
we've
got
the
support
of
other
internal
teams
as
well.
We
kicked
off
this
conversation
by
talking
with
the
office
of
equity
and
inclusion.
We're
really
excited
that
they
are
fully
staffed
now
and
then
we
also
talked
with
the
office
of
data
and
performance,
the
finance
department
and
the
city
manager's
office.
A
So
I'm
really
trying
to
start
this
process
off
with
a
solid
foundation
and
bringing
in
those
different
departments
and
offices
as
part
of
that
next
slide,
please
so
the
other
you
know
being
new
to
this.
A
I
wanted
to
ground
myself
in
the
history
of
these
funds,
and
I
thought,
since
I
have
been
some
time
it'd-
be
helpful
to
kind
of
look
back
over
the
evolution
so
to
speak
of
these
funds
just
to
give
a
quick
overview,
basically
in
december
of
2018,
is
when
we
really
started
focusing
in
for
these
funds
on
the
opportunity
gap
march
of
2019
was
when
those
funds
were
last
awarded
and
then,
between
april
and
january
april,
2019
and
january
of
2020.
There's
some
discussion.
A
There's
a
lot
of
evolution
over
these
funds
and
talk
about
direction
and
support
for
our
non-profit
partners
in
this
work,
and
then
that
brought
us
up
to
february
of
2020.
I'll
go
into
the
details
in
the
next
slide.
But
that
was
the
last
major
hcd
decision
really
centering
around
the
application
parameters
for
area
non-profits.
A
And
then
after
that
period
it
was
meant
to
go
to
full
council,
and
I
think
we
all
know
march
of
2020
was
was
pretty
hectic
and
I
I
don't
believe
it
ever
ever-
went
to
full
council.
So
then,
that
summer,
the
team
engaged
the
equity
department,
community
partners,
I'm
really
focused
on
better
understanding
the
needs
in
the
community
and
engaging
in
this
spft
design
process.
A
So
then,
by
november
of
2020,
that
was
the
last
formal
decision
and
that
was
to
combine
the
fiscal
years
and
maintain
the
focus
on
supporting
the
opportunity
gap
with
eliminating
the
opportunity
gap
with
these
funds,
and
so
that
brings
us
up
to
november
of
2021,
where
we
had
just
a
continued
discussion
around
those
fund
administration
points.
So
jenna
next
slide.
Please,
and
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
what
was
decided
on
in
that
last
big
decision.
A
So
the
criteria
approved
for
grant
applications
so
that
put
a
cap
on
applicants,
budgets
of
1.5
million,
dollar
budgets
or
less
also
staff
recommended.
Applicants
must
demonstrate
that
they
are
focused
on
closing
the
opportunity
gap
with
a
focus
on
school-aged
children
and
the
applicants
will
provide
demographics
of
those
served.
A
Staff
will
recommend
to
this
committee
and
will
include
community
development
staff,
equity
and
inclusion
staff
and
legal
department
staff
in
those
recommendations,
and
we
also
the
committee
also
decided
on
multi-year
grants
may
be
given
for
a
maximum
of
three
years
and
that
organizations
receiving
ten
thousand
dollars
or
more
must
participate
in
capacity
building,
but
all
applicants
are
eligible
to
participate
and
so
that
kind
of
gets
us
to
to
that
last
major
decision.
But
a
lot
has
happened.
A
You
know
between
when
we
first
started
talking
about
the
opportunity
gap
and
really
focusing
those
funds
there
in
2018
through
this
period
and
then
now
today
in
2020.
So
next
slide,
please.
A
That
brings
us
to
our
next
steps
for
this
process,
we're
on
boarding
new
staff
and
two
into
this
spf
world.
Also,
we
want
to
better
understand
what
the
context
is
out
in
the
community,
so
we're
really
working
on
conducting
an
environmental
scan
so
to
speak
of
community
resources.
A
A
Steph
is
also
working
on
developing
a
program,
design
and
we'll
return
to
the
hcd
committee
with
recommendations
for
this
program
and
I
believe,
we'll
return
before
the
fall
of
2022.
I
think
the
goal
is
to
disperse
the
funds
in
the
fall,
but
so
that's
our
program,
timeline
and
next
slide.
A
And
so
that
brings
us
back
to
our
key
takeaways.
We've
got
these
current
federal
grant
cycles
for
cbg,
home
and
arpa
funds.
Those
are
currently
underway
with
home
arp
really
ramping
up.
A
At
this
point,
and
in
order
to
manage
resources
and
staff
capacity,
the
development
of
the
spf
program
will
begin
with
us
already
having
conducted
work,
to
continue
to
conduct
that
work
and
then
having
the
goal
of
allocating
those
funds
for
the
fall
of
2022
and
community
and
economic
development
staff
are
focused
on
moving
the
strategic
partnership
fund
grant
program
forward,
and
we
want
to
reaffirm
that
the
spf
purpose
and
priority
is
really
that
these
funds
should
remain
on
addressing
the
opportunity
gap
with
a
focus
on
school-aged
children,
and
I
believe,
that's
our
last
slide.
C
C
So
if
what
if
they
can
demonstrate
that
they're
already
in
motion
like
capacity
building
strategies
are
already
in
motion,
they
have
plans
and
they've
made
certain
benchmarks.
Can
they
can
can
that
stand
in
the
place
of
them,
participating
in
something
that
we
facilitate.
A
And
and
I'll
just
encourage,
nikki
and
alex
to
jump
in.
But
I'd
say
at
this
point
this
this
is
the
last.
You
know
formal
recommendation
that
we've
had,
but
I
think
that's
part
of
what
I'm
curious
about
is
to
plug
into
and
and
really
support
where
these
organizations
are
currently
and
where
they
want
to
go,
and
so
I'm
happy
to
to
work
on
that
context
and
work
with
you
all
to
come
up
with
another
option
that
might
be
better
suited
to
our
current
situation.
D
And
I'll
I'll
follow
up
and
just
agree
that
you
know
a
lot
has
changed
since
february
2020
and
while
I
think
this
provided
a
framework
at
the
time,
I
think
we
need
to
understand
what
has
changed
and
what
we
would
propose
as
final
criteria.
So
I
think
we
want
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
the
launching
point
and
that
opportunity
gap
is
the
focus.
D
However,
we
as
staff
want
to
come
back
to
the
committee
with
more
refined
criteria
that
takes
into
consideration
just
the
things
that
you
point
out
vice
mayor
exactly
it
may
be
that
that
that
is
no
longer
a
need
and
that
the
capacity
is
there.
So
I
think
we
really
want
to
to
use
this
as
an
information
piece
from
a
starting
point,
but
also
look
at
the
context
through
that
environmental
scan
that
rachel
was
talking
about
to
really
see.
C
I
have
another
comment:
it's
a
burning
question.
I
don't
really
know
how
to
pose
it,
but
I
think
when
we
give
funding
to
individuals
to
individual
organizations
a
lot
of
them,
a
lot
of
the
dollars
get
absorbed
in
administrative
costs,
so
the
impact
is
really
not
felt
in
the
community
or
that
service
community.
In
this
instance,
can
we
make
sure
we
do
some
type
of
program,
efficiency
to
make
sure
that
the
dollars
are
really
impacting
the
community,
the
students,
the
families
and
not
just
being
absorbed
in
salaries.
A
We
have
talked
a
lot,
especially
with
our
support
teams
too,
and
the
phrase
that
we
keep
kind
of
reiterating
is
really
prioritizing
outcomes
and
impact.
And
so
that's
that's
our
main
goal
for
these
funds
really
helping
those
children
out
and
making
sure
that
those
dollars
are
really
helped.
B
Great,
thank
you.
Everyone,
any
other
questions
about
this
topic
before
we
move
along
okay.
Thank
you
staff
for
preparing
that
update
for
us
for
those
of
you
listening
at
home,
we're
going
to
move
on
to
our
next
agenda
item.
I
do
want
to
add
that
councilwoman
mosley
did
request
a
moment
to
add
another,
take
a
moment
to
have
a
statement
or
share
something
and
we're
going
to
do
that
right
right
before
public
comment.
So
we'll
add
it
to
just
after
this
next
item.
Okay,
all
right!
So
up!
G
G
What
we're
looking
at
this
year
is
recommending
from
staff
a
shift
in
that
process
and
to
actually
create
two
two
meetings.
One
would
be
late
earlier
in
march,
looking
at
march
15th
specifically
to
have
those
presentations
from
applicants,
so
the
applicant
would
have
the
opportunity
to
provide
more
information
about
their
program
beyond.
B
B
B
B
G
Right
now
there
is
already
a
regular
hcd
meeting,
scheduled
from
10
to
12
on
march
15th.
The
home
consortium
met
last
week
and
penciled
in
the
afternoon
of
the
15th
to
hear
those
form
those
home
presentations.
So
it
would
mean
a
longer
day
of
presentations
specifically
for
you,
councilwoman
turner,
but
the
idea
would
be
to
maybe
separate
those
two
events
and
give
give
folks
time
to
process.
That's
a
lot
of
information
to
take
in
all
in
one
all
in
one
sitting,.
E
Well,
actually,
what
I
wanted
to
discuss
later
would
have
been
a
request
to
include
something
in
our
march.
B
But
I
think
we
still
can,
but
so
oh,
if
it's
only
presentations,
okay!
Well,
maybe
we
can
address
that
after
we
hear
what
you're
going
to
say
and
figure
out
where
to
best
okay.
Okay,
are
you
all
able
to
confirm
the
24th.
C
B
Okay,
that
is
a
lot
easier
than
we
thought
it
would
be,
so
we
have
a
plan,
and
a
month
from
now
we'll
be
in
the
middle
of
it
and
it'll
be
great
we're
going
to
move
right
through
it.
Thank
you,
jonathan
for
the
update
your
prosecution,
and
I
think
we
have
a.
I
think
we
have
a
situation,
we're
good.
We
have
a
plan.
Okay,
well
that
wraps
up
what
we
needed
to
do
for
item
number
four
and
councilwoman
jose.
B
E
Chair
turner,
what
I
wanted
to
discuss
with
each
of
you
is
the
possibility
of
bringing
forth
a
a
non-profit
community
partner
to
speak
with
us
directly
in
our
next
council.
I'm
sorry!
In
our
next
committee
meeting
it's
regarding
a
helping
home
rebound.
E
As
each
of
you
is
aware,
we
pretty
routinely
get
emails
or
calls
from
other
neighbors
regarding
health
and
safety
concerns
they
may
have,
and
it
has
traditionally
been
our.
E
Policy
that
law
enforcement
not
get
involved
whenever
practicable
here
lately.
I
have
also
been
in
communication
with
a
church,
an
african-american
church
that
is
located
beside
a-hope,
it's
a
church
that
has
been
there
as
long
as
I
can
remember,
and
it's
a
church
that
has
a
history
of
also
being
very
helpful
to
this
particular
community.
E
What
has
now
happened
and
what
I
have
witnessed
with
my
own
eyes-
is
behavior,
that
is,
quite
frankly,
I've
seen
folks
defile
the
building
so
much
so
that
the
congregation
I
believe
is
in
is
seriously
considering
moving
away
from
that
location.
E
This
enlisted
elicits
a
visceral
response
from
me,
because
traditionally
the
african-american
church
has
been
a
place
of
refuge,
a
place
of
safety
and,
quite
frankly,
in
our
city,
there
are
so
few
of
those.
So
for
me,
even
the
notion
of
the
church
having
to
consider
this
option
is
offensive
when,
when
the
subject
has
been
broached
with
homer,
bowen
and
a-hope
regarding
their
ability
to
be
good
neighbors
and
help
keep
other
neighbors
safe,
it's
tradition.
E
E
We
are
funding
this
bad
behavior,
it's
as
if
the
government
is
perpetrating
this
harm
on
the
black
church,
and
I
can't
I'm
gonna
kind
of
be
a
part
of
that.
So
I
would
like
to
hear
from
them
a
plan,
one
that
has
a
definitive
start
time,
one
that
does
not
throw
apd
under
the
bus
and
I'm
hoping
we
can
do
that
by
the
15th.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
councilwoman
mosley.
I
know
I
I
too
receive
a
lot
of
input
and
concern
really
about
greater
downtown,
also
the
area
of
ann
street,
but
throughout
downtown
a
couple
things
I
do
understand.
B
You
know
they've
had
a
loss
of
executive
director.
They
have
an
interim
director
that
is
there
for
this
year.
I
understand
they've
lost
a
lot
of
staff
like
the
rest
of
us,
and
I
don't
know
to
what
extent
that
is
impacting
their
ability
to
function
as
normal.
B
So
in
many
ways
homeward
bound
is
an
incredible
partner
to
the
city
and
we
have
a
long
history
of
working
well
together
and
successfully.
I
do
want
to
add
my
voice
to
this
concern.
I
would
like
to
hear
from
them.
I
don't
know
that
a
public
meeting
is
best
or
not,
and
then
sir
my
imagination,
I
will
reach
out
to
them
and
see
if
they're
interested
and
available-
and
I
hope
we
do
hear
from
them.
B
I
too,
I
issued
a
statement
this
week
about
downtown
and
how
we
need
to
come
together
as
we
come
out
of
this
pandemic,
and
I
think
this
is
part
of
the
conversation
because
it
needs
to.
We
need
to
be
better
neighbors.
All
neighbors
need
to
be
better
neighbors
and
downtown.
I
consider
it
everyone's
neighborhood,
it's
the
one
neighborhood
that
belongs
to
everyone,
it's
important
that
we
are
taking
care
of
and
watching
out
for
each
other
in
all
respects.
So
I
think
this
conversation
needs
to
be
had.
B
I
appreciate
you
bringing
it
up
and
doing
so
in
a
public
realm,
any
other
comments
or
vice
mayor.
Would
you
like
to
add
anything.
C
Yeah,
so
to
be
specific
about
I
mean
each
one
of
us
probably
has
a
an
idea
of
what
information
we're
expecting,
but
I
would
like
to
understand
from
them
if
they
believe
that
this
service
model,
if
this
service
model,
is
appropriate
for
that
section
of
town.
My
my
understanding
is
that
there
is
a
low
barrier.
High
acts
element
high
access
element
to
their
service
model.
C
Right
now,
and
you
know
with
a
couple
of
tweaks
to
their
model,
you
know-
maybe
I
can
support
them
remaining
in
that
area,
but
I
think
they
need
some.
I
think
they
need
an
operational
safety
plan
or
something
that
can
demonstrate
that
they
can
manage
their
own
operation
and
then
they
can
in
turn
be
a
good
neighbor,
because
right
now
I
think
things
are
a
little
bit
out
of
control
and
I
I
don't
believe
that
it's
only
impacting
neighbors.
I
think
it's
impacting
their
staff
as
well
and
the
clients
that
they
serve
so
yeah.
C
I
think
I
think
we
need
to
probably
review
the
service
that
they're
delivering
and
see
if
we
can
help
them.
You
know
make
the
make
the
adjustments
that
they
need
so
that
they
can
be
good
neighbors
and
if
not,
then
maybe
we
have
other
considerations
to
make.
B
I
agree
you
know
I
did
take
the
time
to
reach
out
to
the
executive
director
and
meet
with
them
last
week
and
I
believe
they're
listening
now
and
I
think
they
recognize
that
the
situation
is
concerning.
I
understand
they're
looking
at
increased
security
and
other
options
and
they
have
made
working
be
working
on
this
plan
already.
So
I
look
forward
to
hearing
from
them
about
that.
I
do
know
too,
you
know,
as
council
moves
forward
on
exploring
the
idea
of
a
low
barrier,
high
access,
shelter.
B
You
know
where
and
how
is
going
to
be
crucial
to
those
conversations.
I
wonder
if
these
kind
of
resources
need
to
be
near
each
other
or
this
particular
location
may
not
be
the
best
end
location,
and
maybe
it's
near
this,
unlike
version
you're,
saying
shanika,
so
we
have
a
lot
to
learn.
I
appreciate
the
topic
being
brought
up
and
yeah.
If
you
have
anything
else
to
share
otherwise
we'll
continue
to
move.
C
On,
I
think
anything
can
work
with
the
proper
management,
and
sometimes
your
management
is
a
little
different
than
what
you
deliver
in
your
mission.
Your
management
sometimes
has
to.
It
has
to
lift
certain
standards
in
order
to
keep
folks
safe.
I'm
interested
in
having
a
conversation.
I
have
some
ideas.
