Minutes
are

moving
quickly
on
to
item
number
two
we're
going
to
get
an
update
from
Emily
ball
on
the
continuing
Continuum
of
Care
consolidation,
application
and
Emily.
If
you
could
go
ahead
and
kick
us
off,
thank
you.
G
Good
morning,
thank
you,
I
am
glad
to
be
here
with
you
all
today.
It
is
our
busiest
time
of
year
it's
our
annual
Continuum
of
Care
process,
which
is
an
important
Federal
process
in
the
world
of
ending
homelessness,
so
glad
to
be
here
to
talk
with
you
about
that
next
slide,
some
key
takeaways.
As
you
know,
the
U.S
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
HUD
provides
a
framework
and
funding
to
local
communities
to
respond
to
homelessness
through
its
Continuum
of
peer
program
or
COC.
G
G
Meeting
Hayak
did
make
those
funding
decisions
and
the
decisions
made
included
submissions
of
two
projects
for
the
city
of
Asheville
that
total
about
156
thousand
dollars,
so
staff
are
recommending
approval
of
those
applications
and
execution
of
Grant
agreements
if
those
are
awarded
by
Hud
and
I'll.
Tell
her
about
that,
of
course,
based
on
recommendations
that
we
received
from
the
National
Alliance
to
end
homelessness
in
January.
We
are
currently
in
the
midst
of
a
restructure
of
our
Continuum
of
Care
and
I'll
share
an
update
about
that
as
well.
Next
slide.
G
So
again,
Continuum
of
Care
overview,
because
ending
homelessness
requires
many
independent
organizations
and
systems
to
work
together.
Hud
designed
the
Continuum
of
Care
Program
to
create
a
framework
for
collaboration
system,
development
and
decision
making,
there's
no
single
entity
that
holds
all
of
the
pieces
necessary
in
order
to
effectively
respond
to
homelessness.
So
a
Continuum
of
Care
is
a
framework
that
creates
a
self-governing
local
planning
body
so
very
similar
to
the
home
Consortium,
which
I
know
you
all
are
familiar
with:
self-governing
local
planning
body
within
a
defined
geographic
area.
G
That's
just
a
way
of
organizing
stakeholders
to
work
together
to
develop
a
comprehensive
system
that
responds
to
homelessness
effectively,
so
that
Continuum
of
Care
should
have
clear
goals
and
strategies
that
decrease
the
number
of
people
who
become
homeless,
shorten
the
length
of
time.
People,
experience
homelessness
and
then
increase
the
number
of
people
who
exit
homelessness
should
be
critically
evaluating
that
system's
performance
on
an
ongoing
basis,
Based
on
data
and
should
be
strategically
allocating
resources
through
a
transparent
process
to
support
programs
that
will
most
further
the
csu's
adopted
goals
next
slide.
G
G
Community
members
who
are
concerned
Advocates
wide
variety
of
people
in
the
Continuum
of
peer
membership
in
our
community.
That's
not
currently
formalized.
We
do
have
a
Homeless
Coalition,
that's
assisted
for
many
many
years
that
operates
similarly
to
that
Continuum
of
Care
membership
body,
but
not
currently
formalized.
G
The
Continuum
of
Care
should
be
led
by
a
board
that
governs
the
Continuum
of
Care,
sets
strategic
Direction
and
policy
and
allocated
resources,
and
that's
currently
the
homeless
initiative,
advisory
committee
or
Hayek,
and
then
that
board
designates
a
Continuum
of
Care
lead
agency
to
provide
strategic
and
administrative
support.
So
that's
the
city
of
Asheville
currently
and
that's
the
role
of
our
division
here
in
the
homeless
strategy.
G
Division
and
again,
as
you
know,
based
on
the
recommendations
that
our
community
received
from
the
National
Alliance
to
end
homelessness,
we
have
a
governance
work
group
under
high
act
that
is
supported
by
technical
assistance
from
HUD
working
to
develop
a
new
governance
Charter
that
will
formalize
that
Continuum
of
Care
membership
and
will
create
a
new
Continuum
of
Care
board
outside
of
the
city's
board
structure
to
promote
Community
ownership.
G
So
we
should
have
much
more
to
share
about
that
in
the
coming
months,
but
I
think
that
will
really
help
clarify
roles
and
responsibilities
in
our
community
and
help
us
again
identify
you
know
the
Continuum
of
Care.
It
just
is
a
strong
framework
for
how
we
can
work
together
most
effectively
to
get
the
job
done
next
slide.
G
So
again,
strategic
resource
allocation
is
the
role
of
the
Continuum
of
Care,
and
the
Continuum
of
Care
structure
makes
our
community
eligible
for
annual
federal
funding
to
respond
to
homelessness
this
year
eligible
for
about
2.1
million
dollars
at
their
September
12th
meeting
Hayek
approved
all
of
the
project
applications
to
be
included
in
our
COC
submission
for
that
2.1
million
dollars
and
that
included
two
renewal
projects
for
the
city
of
Asheville.
As
the
lead
agency,
the
designated
lead
Agency
for
the
Continuum
of
Care,
so
the
first
is
the
homeless
management
information
system.
G
Hmis,
that's
a
this
is
a
renewal
Grant
of
about
63
000.
We
primarily
use
this
to
contract
with
our
hmis
vendor
on
behalf
of
the
Continuum
of
Care,
rather
than
having
agencies
pay
those
licensing
fees
so
in
other
cocs
participating
agencies,
sort
of
self-fund
that
access
to
hmis
in
order
to
meet
that
requirement
in
our
community.
Traditionally,
the
city
has
held
that
Grant
in
order
to
cover
that
cost
for
service
providers.
G
The
second
Grant
is
a
planning
grant
that
is
about
ninety
two
thousand,
just
under
ninety
three
thousand
dollars.
That's
non-competitive
administrative
funding.
That's
only
available
to
the
lead
agency
and
that
contributes
to
the
salaries
in
our
division
here
in
the
whole
strategy.
Division
next
slide.
G
The
next
two
slides
are
a
full,
the
Full
Slate
of
project
applications
that
Hayak
approved
at
their
September
12th
meeting
to
be
included
in
this
year's
submission.
All
of
these
are
renewals
of
existing
housing
programs
at
helpmate
and
Homeward
Bound,
and
then,
additionally,
both
help
me
and
Homeward
Bound
have
a
new
project
application
to
expand
capacity
to
house
additional
people
held
mates.
G
G
Renewal
projects
are
permanent,
Supportive
Housing,
so
similarly
providing
financial
assistance
and
supportive
services,
but
for
people
who
are
exiting
chronic
homelessness
and
providing
that
support
long-term
Chronicles,
as
you
know,
or
folks
who
have
been
homeless
for
at
least
12
months
and
have
a
disability,
so
people
who
will
need
that
support
long
term
in
order
to
not
return
to
homelessness
next
slide,
and
those
are
the
the
remainder
of
the
projects
that
were
approved
in
the
Slate
by
Hayek
at
their
September
12th.
Meeting
you'll
see
in
that
left
column
that
all
of
the
projects
are
ranked.
G
Next
steps
on
Continuum
of
Care
funding,
if
approved
by
city
council
at
the
September
26th
meeting,
then
we
will
submit
the
hmis
and
planning
project
applications
by
the
submission
deadline
of
September
28th,
along
with
all
of
those
other
project.
Applications
approved
by
Hayak
HUD
will
make
final
determinations
and
they
will
announce
Awards
in
the
spring
and
then
initiate
contracts
for
calendar
year,
2025
Grant
terms,
and
then
additionally,
as
I
mentioned,
the
Continuum
of
Care
restructure
is
underway.
So
we
have
a
governance
work
group
of
Hayak
that
has
been
working
with
HUD
technical
assistance.
G
They
presented
a
draft
Charter
to
Hayek
at
the
September
12th
meeting
they're
asking
for
feedback
from
Hayek
members
in
this
two-week
period
and
then
they'll
present
an
updated
Charter
in
October
for
consideration,
we're
working
with
HUD,
again
technical
assistance
from
HUD
on
a
transition
plan
and
timeline.
So
I
don't
have
any
details
about
that
yet,
but
we'll
be
glad
to
share
that
as
that
comes
together
and
part
of
that
restructure
will
include
a
newly
formed
Continuum
of
Care
membership
body
to
elect
a
new
Continuum
of
Care
board.
G
Key
takeaways
again
is
our
annual
annual
federal
funding
process
eligible
for
just
over
two
million
dollars,
which
includes
two
projects
for
the
city
of
Asheville.
That
both
support
our
overall
Community
efforts
in
the
Continuum
of
Care,
and
we
do
have
that.
Continuum
of
Care
restructure
under
development.
A
G
C
Can
you
go
back
a
few
slides
to
where
you
discuss
a
reconstituted,
Advisory
Board
and
then
it
said
something
like
a
board
will
elect
I.
Think
maybe
it's
about
three
slots
ago.
B
A
C
Is
that
going
to
go
any
of
that?
Will
that
come
through
boards
and
commissions.
G
No,
so
this
will
be
creating
a
self-governing
board
in
a
community
that
will
remove
the
Continuum
of
Care
governance
function
that
hayat
currently
holds.
It
will
pull
that
out
of
the
city's
boards
and
commission
structure
and
Seed
it
with
ownership.
With
this
new
Continuum
of
Care
board,.
C
G
Yeah
I,
don't
know
yet
is
the
is
the
honest
answer
so
that
draft
Charter
that
Hayek
reviewed
at
their
September
12th
meeting
does
prescribe
a
very
clear
process
for
how
people
within
the
Continuum
of
Care
membership
can
then
submit,
apply
to
be
a
board
member
and
be
elected
by
that
continuing
of
care
membership
body.
The
part
that
I
don't
know
yet
is
what
our
transition
plan
will
look
like,
and
what
the
timeline
will
look
like
for
standing
up
that
new
board.
G
So
we'll
have
much
more
detail
to
share
about
all
of
this
as
it
gets
further
along,
and
all
of
that
will
certainly
be
very
you
know,
public
and
communicated
to
the
community.
Okay,.
D
Just
wanted
to
note
that
on
November
16th
we
are
planning
on
having
a
follow-up
joint
work
session
with
the
county
to
talk
about
next
steps
and
the
progress
that
the
different
High
act.
Working
groups
have
made
in
response
to
those
National
Alliance
to
end
homelessness,
recommendations
and,
of
course,
as
Emily
already
mentioned,
their
top
recommendation
was
reconstituting,
our
Continuum
of
Care
governance
structure
and
so
I.
Imagine
while
we
have
not
yet
finalized
the
agenda
for
that
in
nov
November
16th
session,
but
a
lot
of
the
conversation
will
be
centered
around
revisions
to
that
governance
structure.
D
B
I
had
a
couple
just
basic
questions,
because
I
am
not
as
knowledgeable
as
some
folks
on
the
COC
I've
never
been
on
Hayek
and
I.
Try
and
keep
up,
but
I
would
love
to
just
ask
a
couple
questions.
While
we
have
you
Emily,
because
it's
wonderful
to
have
you.
B
G
Question
so
HUD
tells
us
every
year
how
much
we're
eligible
to
apply
for,
in
general,
that's
based
on
renewals
of
our
existing
projects
and
and
those
those
renewals
do
account
for
increases
in
Fair
market
rent.
G
G
If
those
new
projects
are
awarded,
then
they
become
renewal
projects
in
the
subsequent
year
and
so
that
pot
of
money
snowballs
over
time
wow,
whether
or
not
whether
or
not
the
full
amount
is
awarded,
is
based
on
the
overall
performance
of
our
Continuum
of
Care,
meaning
not
only
how
effective
these
particular
projects
are,
but
how
good
we
are,
as
a
community
and
as
a
homeless
service
system
at
delivering
outcomes
and
that's
Based.
On
data
collected
in
hmis,
we
submit
reports
every
year
about
our
system,
performance
measures,
Etc.
G
B
Amazing,
thank
you
for
that
explanation.
Could
we
go
back
to
the
slides
where
I
think
there
were
two
showing
the
allocations
recommended
by
Hayek?
B
I
was
surprised
at
how
many
are
on
here
for
Homeward
Bound
and
they
all
have
this
permanent
supportive
indicator.
So
could
you
explain
to
me
what
so
I
just
I'm,
not
sure
they
all
say
psh
of
some
level
and
it's
like
1.5
million
dollars,
so
these
are
all
renewal.
This
has
been
happening.
These
are
programs
that
we're
just
renewing,
but
what
are
they
doing
related
to
permit
support
housing?
Is
this
them
putting
folks
in
the
community,
or
is
this
them
putting
Folks
at
Days
Inn?
B
G
Not
related
to
Days
Inn.
For
the
most
part,
almost
everyone
who
will
be
at
Compass,
Point
Village
will
be
using
a
housing
Choice
voucher
through
the
Housing
Authority,
so
different
source
of
subsidy
to
pay
the
rent.
For
those
folks,
these
Homeward
Bound
has
six
permanent
Supportive
Housing
projects
that
have
accumulated
over
time.
In
that
same
process,
I
was
describing
a
minute
ago,
and
those
six
projects
are
all
supporting
folks
who
are
living
out
in
scattered
site
housing
with
private
landlords
out
in
the
community.
G
B
So
it's
mostly
programs
and
rent.
Not
so
that's
really
helpful.
Okay,
it's
not
Capital
at
all
yep!
It's
all.
B
I
appreciate
that
any
other
questions
for
Emily,
while
we
have
her
okay-
well,
it's
always
nice
to
hear
what
Hayek
is
up
to
and
I
hope,
as
the
COC
develops,
we'll
maybe
hear
more
at
hcd,
so
we're
just
kind
of
in
the
loop
of
what's
Happening.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today,
Emily
and
all
you're
doing.
B
F
B
Okay,
that
competition
word
is
interesting.
I
will
do
a
roll
call
vote,
councilwoman,
Antonette,
Mosley,
hi,
councilwoman,
Shanika
Smith
aye,
myself
I,
so
this
will
move
forward
to
council
with
a
recommendation
from
hcd.
Thank
you.
Everyone,
and
that
concludes
item
number
two
on
our
agenda
and
we're
moving
to
item
number
three,
which
is
the
amendment
to
the
HUD
Consolidated
plan
and
I.
Believe
Laura
is
gonna.
Kick
this
one
off
for
us.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
hi
everybody.
My
name
is
Lauren
near
I'm,
a
Community
Development
analyst
in
the
Community
Development,
Division
and
I
will
be
talking
to
you
today
about
using
cdbg
funds
outside
of
City
Limits,
specifically
for
helpmate
and
I.
Also
have
them
here
today
to
field
any
programmatic
questions
you
guys
might
have.
E
Let
me
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
key
takeaways
in
May
2021
city
council
approved
the
fiscal
year
21-22
annual
action
plan,
which
granted
help
me
49
241
in
Community
Development
block
grant
Housing
Services
funds,
which
the
agency
is
currently
spending
down.
The
cwg
Housing
Services
Program
provides
support
to
survivors
of
domestic
violence
that
receive
Home
tenant-based
Rental
Assistance.
The
council
approved
five-year
2020
2024
Consolidated
plan
does
not
currently
allow
for
cdbg
funds
to
be
used
on
activities
that
occur
outside
of
City
Limits,
even
those
used
in
conjunction
with
home
tvra
funds.
E
So
this
is
just
a
little
bit
about
palmate
CG,
cdbg,
Housing
Services
funds
and
some
of
the
issues
they're
facing
cdbg
Housing.
Services
funds
are
used
in
the
housing
case,
management
for
domestic
violence,
survivors
and
they're
for
the
purpose
of
reho
re-housing
domestic
violence
survivors
who
are
homeless,
because
they're
fleeing
abuse
funds
provide
ongoing
case
management
in
conjunction
with
home
tbra
funds.
E
Affordable
housing
options
are
harder
to
find
in
city
limits
than
in
other
parts
of
Buncombe
County.
As
a
result,
20
percent
of
survivors
who
have
been
housed
by
helpmate
Under
the
home
program,
were
unable
to
locate
housing
within
City
Limits,
which
resulted
in
helping
being
unable
to
access
cdbg
funding
to
offer
ongoing
case
management
for
survivors.
E
Additionally,
rental
rates
within
the
city
of
Asheville
are
significantly
higher
than
on
other
parts
of
Buncombe
County,
making
it
more
difficult
for
survivors
to
be
able
to
assume
payment
of
their
full
rental
costs
after
their
period
of
rental,
assistance
has
ended.
Survivors
of
domestic
violence
require
more
Choice
regarding
their
housing
placement
to
ensure
their
ongoing
safety.
Making
options
available
that
are
outside
of
city
of
Asheville
limits,
for
these
survivors
allows
them
to
better
consider
their
safety
needs
and
housing
options
from
a
greater
pool
of
potential
placements
next
slide.
E
So
staff
recommends
allowing
helpmate
to
use
cdbg
funds
outside
of
City
Limits,
but
not
outside
of
Buncombe
County
for
housing
case
management
purposes,
and
this
would
be
as
an
amendment
to
the
2020-2024
Consolidated
plan.
This
proposal
would
not
impact
requirements
for
other
cdbg,
funded
projects
and
programs
next
slide.
E
This
is
just
the
key
takeaways.
They
have
some
funding
about
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
cdbg
Housing
Services
funds
that
were
allocated
for
the
fiscal
year.
2122
cdbg
funds
can
currently
not
be
used
outside
of
city
limits,
as
we
stated
in
the
Consolidated
plan
and
we're
suggesting
that
we
amend
the
Consolidated
plan
to
allow
cdbg
funds
to
be
used
outside
of
city
limits.
E
And
that's
the
suggested
motion:
do
you
guys
have
any
questions
for
either
me
Dennis
or
help
me.
B
I
have
one
what
we're
doing
here
so
I
get
it.
Rental
rates
are
so
high
in
our
community
that
one
helpmate
is
in
need
of
housing,
someone
and
can't
find
a
local
that
will
work.
They
can
go
farther
out
and
find
something
more.
Rural
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
me
on
his
face.
This
is
awesome.
Does
this
allow
any
organization
to
do
this,
or
is
this
specific
to
help
me.
E
Specifically
is
just
going
to
be
for
help
me
at
this
moment,
but
going
forward.
The
plan
at
this
point
is
to
let
other
agencies
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
To
do
this
so
obviously
help
me
is
at
the
top
priority
for
this,
because
survivors
officially,
you
know
they
face
a
lot
more
issues
than
right:
the
other
homeless
population.
So,
okay.
B
B
Second,
I'll
do
a
roll
call
note,
councilwoman,
Mosley,
hi,
councilwoman,
Smith
aye,
myself,
I
all
right
that
will
also
move
forward
to
council
and
April
I,
see
you
here.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
It
looks
like
we
don't
have
any
questions
for
you,
but
if
you
had
anything
to
share
this
could
be
your
moment.
H
Thank
you
so
much
I
just
appreciate
this
committee's
for
support.
Mr
Newburn
and
his
Department
have
been
wonderful
to
work
with.
Laura
has
done
a
great
job
in
communicating
well
with
us
about
this.
This
will
help
us
better,
align
our
use
of
cdbg
and
home
funds
and
hopefully
provide
better
wrap
around
support
to
the
survivors
that
we're
serving
under
those
programs
I'm
grateful
to
each
of
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
B
I
Yes,
thank
you
good
morning,
council
members
I'm
here
to
give
you
a
quick
update
on
the
affordable
housing
plan.
Next
Katie,
a
few
key
takeaways.
First
we're
creating
a
new,
affordable
housing
plan
which
will
engage
our
community
in
a
comprehensive
and
coordinated
way
to
help
determine
the
future
of
our
affordable
housing
programming.
I
It's
going
to
assist
us
in
leveraging
our
tools
to
achieve
the
maximum
benefit
for
our
community
and
inform
a
potential
future,
affordable
housing,
Bond
and
through
a
competitive
selection
process.
We
selected
Enterprise
Community
Partners
as
our
consultant
for
the
plan.
They
began
work
on
August
28th
and
the
plan
will
be
developed
over
the
next
10
months.
Next.
I
So,
just
as
a
reminder,
I
think
all
of
you
know
that,
but
also
for
the
community.
It's
this
plan
is
going
to
assess
our
current
needs
and
set
a
direction
for
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
It
will
involve
residents
most
affected
by
the
housing
crisis
and
address
Community
priorities.
I
It's
also
going
to
look
at
our
city
tools
and
assess
them
and
see
if
there's
gaps,
recommendations
for
changes
and
those
tools
include
the
land,
use
incentive,
Grant,
Housing,
Trust
Fund
and
our
city-owned
land
for
affordable
housing
program,
and
this
again
will
provide
a
foundation
for
us
to
decide
how
we
want
to
allocate.
You
know,
funds
for
our
future,
affordable
housing,
Bond
referendum
So.
The
plan
will
actually
make
recommendations
for
a
potential
Bond
next,
so
just
really
quickly.
We
have
an
internal
project.
Team
I'm,
the
project
manager
and
I've
got
support
from
many
different
departments.
I
I
So
here's
something
different
we're
going
to
try
with
this
plan.
Often
when
we
do
plans,
we
develop
an
advisory
committee
and
we
do
run
into
some
typical
problems
with
those
committees,
so
we're
going
to
try
something
different,
so
we
are
going
to
have
a
resident
engagement,
Roundtable
and
the
focus
of
this
round
table
is
really
going
to
help.
Our
consultant
team
and
staff
inform
the
Outreach
for
this
plan
and
those
folks
will
serve
as
ambassadors
for
the
plan.
I
The
makeup
of
that
Roundtable
will
be
primarily
residence
and
people
who
are
most
impacted
by
the
affordable
housing
crisis.
I
would
imagine,
there's
also
probably
some
agency
Representatives,
who
work
with
folks
kind
of
at
that
Grassroots
level
who
are
facing
issues
as
well.
Then
we
also
have
our
affordable
housing
advisory
committee
ahac
and
they
will
be
involved
throughout
the
plan
development
process.
They
are
our
policy
advisory
committee
for
affordable
housing
and
they
will
help
implement
the
plan.
I
Once
it's
been
adopted,
completed
and
adopted
by
Council,
and
then,
of
course,
this
committee,
we
will
be
making
sure
that
you're
in
the
loop
the
entire
way
throughout
this
planning
process
next.
So
this
is
just
really
quickly.
This
is
our
picture
of
our
team
that
that's
from
Enterprise
we're
really
excited
to
be
working
with
them.
They
are
a
national,
non-profit
and
they've,
been
working
in
affordable
housing
for
over
40
years
and
they
have
branches.
I
You
know
this
is
their
Consulting
Branch,
but
they
have
they
do
lots
of
real
estate
deals
for
affordable,
Housing
and
Community
Development
activities
as
well.
So
they
have
access
to
a
lot
of
expertise
and
experience.
Gerard
Smith
is
our
project
manager
and
he
will
be
here
in
just
a
couple
of
weeks,
so
this
is
kind
of
the
overall
scope
broken
into
tasks.
I
I
And
then
we
provided
just
a
quick
timeline.
We've
started
meeting
with
them
regularly.
Engagement
will
really
begin
in.
You
know
fully
in
October
and
continue
through
the
process.
I
I
And
then
assessing
our
tools
and
the
visits
the
giraffe
myth
is.
It
will
be
here
in
two
weeks
as
I
said,
kind
of
a
lay
of
the
land
visit
you'll
be
doing
some
interviews
with
some
folks
and
then
it
later
either
late,
October
early
November
before
the
holidays.
I
Our
plan
is
to
do
a
much
bigger,
robust
Community
engagement,
visit
and
really
hear
from
folks
in
the
community,
and
then
it
they
will
come
back
in
March
they'll
be
doing
meetings
throughout
this
time,
but
they'll
be
more
virtual,
but
they
will
come
back
in
March
with
a
with
a
team
and
kind
of
bring
draft
recommendations
and
really
vet
those
with
the
community
again
and
then
coming
back
in
May
to
present
to
city
council.
I
I
So,
just
right
now,
what's
happening
in
the
immediate
time
frame,
we're
meeting
with
them
weekly
as
I
said
they'll,
be
here
in
two
weeks,
the
first
week
of
October
when
they're
here
in
October.
They
have
a
specific
exercise
that
they
do
a
stakeholder
mapping
exercise
that
they
will
do
a
stuff
and
probably
I'm
inviting
County
staff
as
well.
I
For
folks
who
you
know,
how
do
we
get
the
broadest
representation
on
this
Roundtable
as
possible
and
then
in
the
next
couple
weeks,
we're
establishing
a
web
presence
and
beginning
an
initial
awareness
campaign,
and
then
also
you
will
be
receiving
a
message,
maybe
today,
inviting
you
all
to
meet
with
our
consultant
when
he's
here
on
probably
on
Wednesday
October
4th
he's
coming
in
late
or
Tuesday
and
leaving
not
too
long
after
they
hack
meeting
so
he'll
actually
be
able
to
be
at
the
AHA
community
on
Thursday
morning.
I
B
I
just
have
some
general
enthusiasm.
I
know
this
is
a
huge
undertaking.
It's
really
helpful
to
see
the
timeline
too
and
to
know
we
might
see
some
data
by
the
end
of
this
year
and
then
really
by
this
time.
Next
year
we
will
be
complete
and
operating
under
this
new
plan,
and
it's
wonderful,
Sasha
I
appreciate
you
taking
this
on
I
know:
you'll,
do
a
great
job
of
I'm
curious
about
the
new
input
method,
be
great
to
hear
how
that
goes
as
you
move
forward,
but
right.
I
And
we
have
set
a
budget
aside
in
our
or
there
is
part
of
our
budget
course
stipends
for
folks
who
are
really
helping
us
get
the
words
out
and
oh.
B
That's
wonderful,
okay,
I!
Don't
think
we
need
any
action
on
this.
It's
more
just
information
sharing.
So
if
there
are
no
other
questions
from
colleagues,
then
we
will
continue
to
move
on
the
agenda.
Okay,
thank
you
Sasha.
So
that
completes
item
number
four
and
we're
on
to
the
last
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
the
committee
work
plan
and
I.
Think
Rachel
is
going
to
have
an
update
on
this.
D
Your
willingness
to
try
something
new
last
year
has
resulted
in
us
creating
a
model
that
we've
been
able
to
replicate
with
all
six
of
our
Council
committees
and
continue
to
make
process
improvements
as
a
result
of
that
groundwork
that
this
group,
in
partnership
with
the
community
and
economic
development
department,
as
well
as
the
affordable
housing
advisory
committee
put
in
last
year,
so
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
creating
this
model.
We
of
course,
are
going
to
continue
to
tweak
it.
D
Next
slide.
Please
Katie
so
key
takeaways
are
annual
work
plans
really
serve
as
a
tool
to
plan
for
and
better
organize
the
work
that
occurs
at
the
council
committee
level.
Committee
work
plans,
of
course,
are
informed
by
several
different
strategic
planning
elements
that
we
have
in
the
city,
including
the
City
council's
Vision
2036
framework,
your
annual
strategic
priorities
and
the
goal
statements
which
are
new,
a
new
element
that
came
in
with
FY
2024,
as
well
as
the
committee
scopes
of
work
committee.
D
Work
plans
are
intended
to
be
dynamic,
living
documents
that
we
know
will
evolve
throughout
the
fiscal
year,
but
they
serve
as
an
overall
guide
for
Council
committees,
staff
and
Advisory
board
members
throughout
the
fiscal
year
to
provide
some
level
of
predictability
as
we
plan
for
those
projects
and
initiatives
that
are
tied
to
your
strategic
priorities,
next
slide.
Please
so
quick
reminder,
and
of
course
this
is
not
an
exhaustive
list,
but
just
noting
those
strategic
planning
elements
that
are
most
closely
aligned
with
the
scope
of
work
for
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Committee.
D
Under
the
vision
2036
framework,
we
have
quality,
affordable
housing,
then
part
of
your
strategic
priorities
that
were
adopted
again
with
the
start
of
this
fiscal
year.
We've
got
Equitable
and
affordable
housing
and
stability,
as
well
as
houselessness
strategies,
and
then
I
mentioned
the
new
strategic
planning
element
that
came
about
at
the
start
of
this
fiscal
year.
That
was
the
adoption
of
strategic
priority
goal
statements.
D
So
the
two
strategic
priority
goal
statements
that
are
most
closely
aligned
with
the
scope
of
work
for
this
committee
include
Equitable
and
affordable
housing,
stabilities
goal
statement,
which
is
maximize
tools,
plans
and
regulations
to
increase
housing,
Supply
prioritize
access
for
low-income
residents
and
households,
reduce
barriers
to
construction
and
begin
preparing
to
update
the
unified
development
ordinance
and
initiating
a
2024
housing
Bond,
and
then
the
Strategic
priority
goal
statement
for
houselessness
strategies,
which
is
make
homelessness.
Rare
brief
and
non-recurring
by
supporting
the
implementation
of
National
Alliance
to
end
homelessness
recommendations.
D
So
as
a
quick
reminder
back
in
November,
the
city
council
adopted
formal
scopes
of
work
for
each
of
the
council
committees
and
the
intent
is
moving
forward
at
each
of
your
retreats
to
not
only
have
a
review
of
your
strategic
priorities
and
your
strategic
priority
goal
statements,
but
to
make
sure
that
the
council
committees
remain
aligned
with
your
priority
direction
for
the
organization.
If
you
recall
last
year,
we
actually
revised
the
structure
of
council
committees
to
ensure
that
they
were
more
closely
aligned
with
your
strategic
priorities.
D
We
want
to
make
sure,
on
an
annual
basis
that
we're
just
having
that
checkpoint,
that,
as
things
do
evolve
in
our
community,
that
the
council
committee
structure
remains
aligned
with
those
key
priorities
that
city
council
has
set
forth.
So
at
this
point,
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
committee's
scope
of
work
includes
reviewing
policy
updates
and
making
policy
recommendations
to
enhance
the
quality
of
life
in
Asheville
and
livability
of
neighborhoods
on
all
matters
relating
to
the
creation
and
maintenance
of
housing.
D
We
now
have
Clarity
on
the
types
of
items
that
need
to
be
brought
forward
to
council
committees,
so
one
of
the
things
I've
been
working
with
the
community
in
Economic,
Development,
Department
on
and
you'll,
see.
This
reflected
in
your
draft
work
plan
is
making
sure
that
we
do
have
more
intentional
touch
points
on
the
work
of
the
Continuum
of
Care,
as
well
as
broader
homelessness
strategies,
so
that
this
committee
receives
those
regular
updates.
Just
like
you
do
related
to
affordable
housing.
D
D
D
How
do
we
have
those
meaningful
intersections
with
our
city,
council,
advisory
boards
and
other
working
groups,
and
so
Sasha
already
mentioned
the
work
that
the
affordable
housing
advisory
committee,
for
example,
is
going
to
be
doing
on
the
affordable
housing
plan
update
and
then,
as
I
previously
mentioned,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
more
intersectionality
with
the
city
council
through
the
Housing
and
Community
Development
Committee
and
our
Hayak
Continuum
of
Care
board,
as
well
as
our
Asheville
Regional
Housing
Consortium
next
slide,
please.
D
So
in
terms
of
the
draft
work
plan.
Of
course,
this
is
intended
to
be
dynamic,
so
the
community
and
economic
development
team,
in
partnership
with
other
departments
in
the
city
manager's
office,
have
really
mapped
out
between
now
and
January
2024
on
what
those
specific
agenda
items
are
going
to
be
and
then,
as
we
start
to
move
into
this
spring,
we
have
ideas
on
when
items
are
going
to
go,
but
we
don't
have
those
as
specifically
as
fleshed
out
as
we
do
for
the
next
few
months
and
so
I'm
going
to
highlight
after
this
slide.
D
What
a
couple
of
those
items
are.
Primarily
those
items
are
going
to
be
more
administrative
in
nature
and
then,
as
things
start
to
progress
both
with
a
Continuum
of
Care,
as
well
as
with
the
affordable
housing
plan,
update,
we'll
be
able
to
get
more
specific
on
when
we
will
come
back
to
you
with
updates
on
those
projects
and
seek
feedback
from
you
all.
So
for
our
next
committee
meeting,
we've
got
a
code,
oh
I'm,
sorry
Katie.
D
If
you
can
go
back,
we've
got
a
code
purple
update
which
you'll
be
receiving
from
Emily
ball
and
then
seeking
this
committee's
feedback
on
a
specific
land.
Use
incentive
Grant
application
for
115
Fairview
I'm,
currently
slated
in
November,
and
we
are
working
on
identifying
an
alternate
meeting
date.
November
21st
is
the
same
week
as
Thanksgiving
and
so
I
believe.
D
Katie
is
working
with
you
all
to
try
to
find
another
time
in
November
that
we
can
meet,
but
we
do
have
some
pretty
robust
agenda
items
that
are
tied
primarily
to
our
HUD
funding
application
process,
getting
some
updates
on
the
cdbg
and
Home
applications
just
so
that
you
all
are
aware
of
of
that
application
cycle.
That's
really
going
to
gear.
D
Up
later
this
winter
and
early
spring
you'll
receive
some
updates
from
Sasha
on
the
Housing,
Trust
Fund
application
process
and
then,
depending
on
how
far
along
we're
able
to
get
with
our
consultant
on
the
affordable
housing
plan,
update
potentially
receiving
some
policy
adjustment
considerations
on
both
the
Housing
Trust
Fund,
as
well
as
land
use
incentive,
Grant
policy
moving
into
December.
While
it
is
only
one
item,
it
is
a
very
robust
agenda
item
and
that
is
an
update
from
the
community
and
economic
development
team
on
the
prioritization
of
city-owned
property.
D
D
D
As
we've
already
discussed
today,
we
will
likely
receive
some
specific
updates
on
that
new
Continuum
of
Care
governance
structure,
which
of
course
we
will
have
a
really
targeted,
specific
discussion
around
where
we
are
in
the
implementation
of
Our
National
Alliance
and
homelessness
recommendations
at
the
Joint
City
County
Work
session
in
November,
and
so
the
hope
would
be
by
January
we've
worked.
We've
worked
out
any
of
the
loosens
associated
with
that
governance
structure
and
would
move
from
this
committee
ultimately
to
full
city
council
for
consideration
and
potential
adoption
of
that
revised
structure.
D
Next
slide
so
mentioned,
we
have
in
the
spring
several
items
that
are
somewhat
routine.
You
see
every
year
so
while
we
don't
have
specific
dates
identified
yet
we
know
that
in
the
spring,
this
is
when
you're
going
to
be
considering
applications
and
ultimately
approving
allocations
for
both
our
community
development
block
grant
applicants,
as
well
as
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
applicants
next
slide.
D
So
on
this
slide,
we
did
receive
some
feedback
from
committee
members
on
potential
work
plan
items
that
were
we're
kind
of
working
through.
How
best
do
we
as
staff
respond
to
those
recommendations?
So
we
did
receive
a
request
to
receive
an
update
on
short-term
rental
regulations,
and
so
staff
is
currently
assessing
potential
ordinance
revisions
and.
D
The
other
item
that
we
are
working
through-
and
this
has
been
an
item-
that's
been
on
the
planning
and
Urban
Design
Department's
work
plan
for
the
last
year
and
a
half
or
so
is
looking
at
the
multi-family
benefits
table,
similar
to
what
we
have
for
hotels
and
because
of
the
work
that's
happening
with
the
missing
middle
housing
study,
as
well
as
the
affordable
housing
plan.
In
addition
to
us
having
a
recent
leadership
turnover
with
the
planning
and
Urban
Design
Department
director,
we
are
waiting.
D
We
are
recommending
that
we
wait
a
little
bit
on
pursuing
that
potential
benefits
table.
But
in
the
meantime,
staff
has
committed
to
concurrent
with
the
development
of
the
affordable
housing
plan,
as
well
as
missing
middle
housing
study.
D
We
are
seeking
feedback
on
work
plan
items
then
in
October
we
will
provide
updates
to
advisory
boards
regarding
any
policy
items
that
are
going
to
be
referred
to
them,
namely
I
know
Sasha's
going
to
be
working
with
the
affordable
housing
advisory
committee
regarding
their
role
in
the
affordable
housing
plan,
update
and
then
specifically,
policy
review
items
associated
with
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
policy
and
land
use
incentive,
Grant
policy,
any
feedback
we
receive
from
you
today
regarding
things
you
want
to
see
added
or
changed
to
our
work
plan
will
be
presented
to
you
at
your
October
17th
meeting
and
then
as
needed.
D
We
will
have
updates
from
Advisory
board
members.
We
also
want
you
to
have
annual
report
updates
from
advisory
boards,
namely
Hayak,
as
well
as
the
affordable
housing
advisory
committee.
We
will
review
planned
agenda
items
with
you
as
necessary,
and
we
do
also
put
future
planned
agenda
items
on
your
agenda
so
that
you
can
look
a
few
months
out
and
see
what
we
have
slated
and
then
annually,
as
I
already
mentioned,
receiving
those
reports
and
having
that
direct
feedback
from
your
advisory
board.
D
Members
next
slide-
and
this
is
just
recapping-
those
key
takeaways
and
your
work
plans
are
intended
to
be
dynamic
and
living.
We
want
to
have
ongoing
dialogue
about
slated
items
for
future
agendas
with
you
throughout
the
year
and
they
serve
as
a
guide
for
not
only
the
Committees,
but
also
for
staff
and
Advisory
board
members
to
help
us
make
sure
that
we
are
ultimately
achieving
your
priority
goals
throughout
the
fiscal
year
and
that
kdu
can
take
down
the
presentation
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
definitely
want
feedback
from
you.
B
C
I,
don't
have
a
question
about
what
was
just
shared,
but
there
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
the
right
place
for
it,
but
maybe
you
could
help
me
determine
where
the
right
place,
for
it
is
on
a
long
wondered
whether
some
of
our
policies
that
require
certain
percentages
of
affordability,
if
it's
possible
that
they
unintentionally
could
lead
to
an
increase
in
actual
Market
rates,
are
people
following
me
when
I
say
that
I
am
where?
Where
would
that
discussion
or
review?
Go
where's
the
appropriate
place
to
consider
that.
B
C
I
well,
I'll
give
you
like
an
example,
and
maybe
this
will
be
make
it
clearer,
say.
For
instance,
we
had
a
developer
who
comes
to
us
and
we
go
the
regular
80
20
route
and
making
up
numbers
say
if,
at
that
point
market
rate
is
a
thousand
dollars,
but
they
decide
to
do
20
at
again
making
up
a
number
800.
C
I
wonder
if,
in
order
to
break
even
instead
of
having
all
units
at
a
thousand,
if
they
decide
then
to
go
up
to
1100
per
unit
I'm
wondering
if
our
policy
of
80
percent
Ami
actually
inadvertently
could
lead
to
an
increase
in
market
rate.
Apartments
did
that
money
it
even
more?
No.
I
No,
that
makes
sense
and
I-
remember,
I,
think
you
making
that
comment
before
so
I
think
that's
something
our
Consultants
could
look
at
for
sure
and
how
do
we
shape
our
policy
around?
You
know
to
help
Elite,
you
know
or
address
that
concern
I.
Think
what's
coming,
this
fall
is
a
very
limited
policy
adjustment.
It's
not
an
overhaul
of
the
entire
policies.
I
Ahec
wants
to
look
at
the
scoring
of
the
Housing,
Trust,
Fund
and
and
luige,
and
it's
not
so
it's
limited
scope
before
the
end
of
the
year
for
policy
adjustments,
but
we
could
definitely
have
our
consultant
look
at
that
for
luige
and
I
I
do
think
kind
of
to
Rachel's
point
they
are.
They
know
that
we'll
be
discussing
these
things
and
are
wanting
to
kind
of
be
ready
to
be
there
as
a
resource
for
all
these
discussions
and
help
with
that.
B
You
know
the
80
to
120
Ami,
which
is
what
Luigi
used
to
have
program
for
is
gone
so
I,
just
wonder
if
there
is,
if
we're,
creating
a
gap
almost
in
effect
making
some
of
these
Workforce
units
or
rents
that
might
be
at
90
percent
forced
to
pay
130,
because
the
market
rate
is
pushed
higher.
So
somehow,
if
we
could
dig
into
that
and
understand,
if
we're
making
it
harder
for
Workforce
to
find
units,
it
would
be
helpful.
It's
just
a
concern
in
general.
Go
ahead!
Anthony.
H
C
B
I
was
going
to
bring
up
whether
or
not
as
we
look
at
our
work
plan.
If
we
need
to
discuss
during
that
meeting,
I
asked
Thrive
specifically
if
they
were
interested
in
continuing
to
do
this
performance,
analysis
and
I.
Just
wonder
if
that's
something
we
need
to
have
on
our
Horizon
too,
it
wouldn't
be
soon,
but
obviously
be
after
we
Implement
new
policies,
but
getting
that
result
data
was
really
helpful.
B
Okay,
well,
I'm,
really
glad
to
see
all
of
these
work
plan
items.
I
know:
council
members
have
been
weighing
on
weighing
in
on
some,
so
it's
really
wonderful
to
see
them
on
the
work
plan,
particularly
around
short-term
rentals,
something
I'm
working
on
right
now
and
colleagues,
just
so,
you
know
I'm
kind
of
creating
a
draft
document
of
the
questions.
I
have
around
it
and
if
you
have
any
that,
you
would
like
to
add,
let
me
know
or
reach
out
that
conversation
is
still
building
but
very
important.
B
B
Okay.
That
concludes
item
number
five
on
our
agenda,
which
leaves
us
with
item
number
six,
which
is
public
comment.
Katie.
Do
we
have
anyone
that
has
called
in
with
questions
one
moment?
Let
me
reload
the
site
and
double
check.
