I,
will
like
to
introduce
my
colleagues
in
order
of
their
arrival
to
my
left,
councillor,
at-large,
Michelle
Wu.
A
B
I'm
here
with
colleagues
down
here
in
the
as
we
used
to
call
it
the
pit
right
by
the
Bernstein
who
oversees
our
supportive
housing
division,
Rick
Wilson,
our
ANF
director
and
Donald
Wright,
who
oversees
all
things-
property
management,
I,
wrote
some
remarks
yesterday,
I
think
they're
too
long,
so
I'll
try
to
abbreviate
them.
I
know
you
just
got
out
of
a
very
long
hearing,
but
there
is
a
lot
going
on
that
I.
B
Do
want
to
talk
about
so
I'm
hoping
to
just
highlight
last
year
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we
want
to
accomplish
in
fiscal
year.
Twenty
and
then
talk
a
wee
bit
about
the
budget
and
then
certainly
take
your
questions.
So,
as
you
know,
D&D
has
five
five
divisions.
We
create
low,
moderate
middle
income,
housing
for
Boston
residents.
We
fight
and
homelessness.
We
help
homeowners
buy
and
maintain
their
homes.
We
support
renters
and
housing
crisis
and
we
work
with
our
neighborhoods
to
dispose
of
city-owned
property.
Fiscal
19
was
another
very
busy
here,
another
productive
year.
B
We
started
off
the
year
by
updating
our
housing
plan,
Mayor
Walsh's
housing
plan.
We
looked
at
lots
of
factors,
including
and
growing
population
demographics
income,
and
we
also
listen
to
what
Boston
residents
were
saying,
what
they
thought
was
working
and
what
they
thought
needed,
improvement
and
enhancement.
So
we
changed
our
housing
plan.
B
We
put
forth
the
production
goal
of
69
thousand
units
and
we
increased
all
of
our
affordable
housing
targets.
We
renewed
our
commitment
to
work
with
the
BHA
and
nonprofits
to
preserve
the
affordable
housing
that
we
have.
We
are
putting
an
increased
emphasis
on
displacement
and
our
placement
programs
working
closely
with
our
nonprofits
and
we
recognize,
as
you
all,
have
recognized
for
a
long
period
of
time.
Boston
can't
be
the
only
city
or
town
working
on
this
issue,
so
mayor
Walsh,
teamed
up
with
mayor
curtatone.
B
They
worked
with
the
regional
town
managers
and
mayor's
and
put
forth
a
regional
housing
goal,
so
the
results
are
fairly
impressive.
To
date,
we
have
permitted
29,000
units
of
housing
over
5,000
of
those
are
deed,
restricted,
affordable.
We
also
are
relying
on
our
development
partners
to
develop
market
rate
housing
that
is
more
affordable,
affordable
with
a
little
a
but
fifty
one
hundred
units,
our
new
deed,
restricted,
below-market
housing.
B
We've
also
worked
very
hard,
as
I
mentioned,
to
preserve
what
we
have.
We've
been
working
very
closely
with
the
BHA
on
the
Old
Colony
Housing
Development,
and
starting
looking
at
working
on
Charlestown
and
finishing
up
orient
Heights.
It's
because
BHA
has
a
goal
of
preserving
forty
five
hundred
units
and
their
portfolio
and
working
very
closely
with
them,
and
we've
also
working
very
closely
with
the
HUD
tenant
Alliance
on
the
13a
developments.
B
I
know
some
of
these
are
in
it's
a
some
of
them
are
in
your
districts
and
they've
been
very
difficult
because
they're
very
expensive,
so
I'm
working
very,
very
hard
on
the
13a
developments
we
this
year
we
closed
help
close
New
Castle.
They
have
a
new
owner,
the
Fenway
CDC,
so
that
will
remain
affordable
and
we
are
very
close
to
a
deal
on
the
Forbes
apartments
in
Jamaica,
Plain
and
I
know.
Councillor
O'malley
has
been
very
interested
in
that
development.
We've
got
to
difficult
developments
left.
B
B
Displacement
continues
to
be
an
issue,
though
we
are
all
worried
about
that.
I
know
you
all
share
that
concern.
In
fiscal
year,
nineteen
we
contracted
with
eleven
nonprofit
agencies
to
provide
housing
services,
including
housing,
search,
emergency,
shelter,
eviction,
prevention,
two
rear
edge,
Court
advocacy
in
tenant-landlord,
mediation,
I,
know,
councillor
Edwards
knows
this
work
well
because
she
started
that
office
when
she
was
with
us
and
the
work
continues.
Last
year
we
provided
assistance,
2,800
renters
facing
some,
not
everybody's,
facing
eviction,
but
certainly
rental
issues.
B
In
addition
to
assisting
renters,
we've
stepped
up
our
efforts
to
help
residents
buy
a
home.
Last
year
we
graduated
thirteen
hundred
house
households,
our
units
and
homebuyer
education
classes.
We
provided
a
hundred
and
ten
families
with
down
payment
and
closing
cost
assistance.
We
provided
one
hundred
and
seventy-five
homeowners,
foreclosure
prevention
services
and
we
helped
fourteen
hundred
homeowners
with
minor
and
major
home
repairs,
so
that
unit
has
been
very,
very
busy.
The
homeless
and
supportive
housing
team
has
also
been
very
hard
at
work
to
date.
B
D
and
D
and
its
partners
have
housed
over
a
hundred
thousand
homeless
veterans
and
we
have
housed
over
seven
hundred
chronically
homeless
individuals
we're
housing
more
than
that,
but
those
those
are
were
in
our
planet
in
our
target.
We've
just
completed
a
plant
and
youth
homelessness
and
HUD.
Based
on
that
plan
awarded
us
four
point:
nine
million
dollars
in
federal
money
to
begin
this
important
work.
B
Last
year,
we
hired
a
consulting
team
to
examine
our
adult
homeless
shelter
system
to
see
how
we
can
lessen
the
inflow
into
shelter
and
how
the
shelter
experience
can
be
improved
from
what
what
it
is
now
and
the
mayor
announced.
As
you
know,
the
creation
of
the
Boston
way
home
fund
with
the
goal
of
raising
ten
million
dollars
to
create
two
hundred
units,
at
least
of
permanent
supportive
housing.
B
The
good
news
is,
we've
raised
over
six
million
dollars
and
the
first
housing
site
has
been
identified
in
Jamaica
Plain
and
that
will
be
over
200
units
of
supportive
housing.
So
we're
very
excited
about
that
because
we
don't
have.
While
we
have
some
supportive
housing
in
our
portfolio,
we
don't
have
enough.
B
So
I
can't
be
more
pleased
on
what
we've
accomplished
this
year,
but
I
wake
up
and
I'm
sure
you
share
my
concern
that
there's
still
a
lot
to
do
looking
forward
in
fiscal
year,
21
to
highlight
a
few
things
that
we're
working
on,
we
will
continue
to
build
more
affordable
housing
at
is
key.
It
is
at
the
root
of
all
that
we
do.
We
have
a
very,
very
healthy
pipeline
of
projects
there
we
will
fund
and
we
will
lobby
hard
at
the
state
that
they
fund
as
well.
B
B
Counselor
Edwards
is
aware
that
we're
we've
bought
quite
a
lot
of
buildings,
I
think
30
years
so
buildings
in
in
East
Boston,
not
we
but
Noah,
and
we
just
had
a
for-profit
actually
buy
a
building
in
Dorchester,
South,
Boston
and
DC.
Just
bought
15
units
that
was
on
the
market,
so
I
think
nonprofits
and
for-profits
are
getting
used
to
the
program
and
that's
good
news
to
us
because
we
have
goal
of
taking
at
least
a
thousand
units
out
of
the
market.
B
We
will
assist
4,000
individuals
with
home,
buying
classes
this
year,
foreclosure
prevention,
downpayment
assistance
and
home
repair
programs.
So
we
want
to
continue
to
help
people
buy
and
maintain
homeownership
opportunities
and
the
homeless
division
will
place,
200
chronically
homeless
individuals
and
two
homeless
vet,
200
homeless
veterans
into
permanent
housing,
implementing
the
mayor's
five
million
dollar
new
investment
from
increasing
the
room
occupancy
tax.
B
We
will
build
new,
supportive
housing
for
our
homeless
residents
and
we
will
update
the
city's
plan
for
homeless
individuals,
focusing
on
housing
opportunities
and
improving
homeless
shelters
and
reducing
the
number
entering
shelters
as
I
mentioned,
so
that
work
is
going
to
begin
in
the
next.
Several
weeks-
and
we
hope
to
have
an
updated
plan
in
upcoming
months
and
as
this
placement
continues
to
be
of
utmost
concern,
we
will
continue
to
work
with
our
nonprofit
partners
to
provide
housing,
search,
legal
referrals
and
assistance
with
Renteria
Ridge.
B
While
this
work
will
stop
many
evictions,
we
know
that
we
need
additional
tenant
protections.
This
is
why
we
have
worked
with
the
State
House
to
file
three
important
bills
and
if
you
are
actually
getting
momentum
this
year,
that
we're
very
happy
about,
we
filed
a
bill
that
so
tenants
can
get
legal
representation.
B
Edwards
worked
on
that
bill
two
years
ago,
there's
a
good
coalition
building
and
we
feel
very
optimistic
about
that.
We
filed
a
bill
so
that
tenants
could
purchase
buildings
or
or
am
I
trying
to
say
right
at
first
rights
right
of
first
refusal,
but
they
could
buy
or
they
could
hand
hand
that
right
over
to
a
non
assign
that
right
to
a
non-profit.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
so
that
has
also
got
some
excitement
at
the
Statehouse
and
finally,
we
filed
a
bill
that
would
require
just
cause
to
evict
our
elderly
residents
and
would
limit
their
rent
increases
to
5%
per
year.
So
we
were
very
hopeful
that
all
three
of
those
bills
get
momentum
and
get
passed
because
we
know,
even
though
we're
working
with
a
lot
of
tenants,
they
do
need
additional
protections.
B
Let
me
very
very
quickly
give
an
overview
of
our
budget
and
then
I
will
certainly
hand
it
back
to
you.
Dd's
fiscal
year,
20
recommended
operating
budget
totals
20
million
20
point
six
million
dollars.
This
represents
an
increase
of
6.4
million
dollars
or
a
forty
five
percent
increase
over
fiscal
year.
B
There
are
also
new
investments
of
650
thousand
to
help
homeowners
build
accessory
dwelling
units
in
their
in
their
homes,
because,
while
we've
made
it
easier
to
approve
these
units,
it
is
still
an
expensive
undertaking
in
$100,000
for
intergenerational
homes
share
program
which
we
piloted
through
the
housing
innovation
lab.
But
now
we
want
to
help
a
nonprofit
scale
up
that
very
innovative
idea
of
pairing
students,
mostly
grad
students
with
our
elders.
B
Our
operating
funding
is
vitally
important
to
the
department
because
it
supports
activities
not
eligible
for
external
uses,
such
as
property
man
and
it
funds
the
housing
20
special
appropriations,
which
supports
our
work
with
at-risk
tenants,
the
homeless
and
various
housing
production
and
preservation
programs.
In
fiscal
year,
twenty
in
other
fiscal
years,
we're
going
to
apply
and
fight
for
every
external
revenue
source.
We
can
D
and
DS
all
fund
budget
of
a
hundred
and
five
million
dollars.
B
This
year
includes
an
estimated
eighty
five
million
dollars
in
external
funds,
the
majority
this
funding
comes
in
the
form
of
grants
from
the
US
Department
of
Housing
housing
and
your
urban
development,
such
as
CDBG
and
home,
allowing
DMD
to
carry
out
a
wide
range
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
programs.
Our
external
sources
also
include
twenty
million
dollars
from
inclusionary
inclusionary
Development
Fund,
which
will
be
used
to
create
income
restricted
housing
across
the
city.
B
In
the
upcoming
weeks,
we
will
be
back
here
to
request
approval
from
the
housing
Community
Development
Committee,
to
accept
and
extend
the
fiscal
year.
Entitlement
grants
an
IDP
revenue,
so
we
will
continue
to
leverage
other
city
revenue
sources
not
reflected
in
our
budget,
including
Neighborhood
Housing
Trust,
which
is
our
linkage
program
and
CPA,
which
we
used
Rea
wisely
last
year
and
created
a
lot
of
new,
affordable
housing.
B
So
when
you
add
in
when
you
add
in
linkage,
you
add
in
CPA,
you
add
in
our
federal
money
and
this
very
important
operating
budget
next
year
is
a
budget
for
D
and
D.
Hopefully,
will
total
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
million
dollars
that
we
will
be
using
to
house
Boston
residents?
This
is
the
highest
ever
highest
ever
budget,
certainly
reflecting
our
commitment
to
house
all
of
our
residents.
So
I
know,
I
talked
fast
and
I
said
a
lot,
but
this
I
didn't
want
to
go
on
too
long,
but
we've
had
a
productive
fiscal
year.
B
A
C
B
So
we
have
been
working
hard
on
our
land
inventory,
the
the
the
the
land
that
we
have
left
is
you
know
it's
getting
more
and
more
difficult
to
develop,
because
the
parcels
aren't
as
as
easy.
We
right
now
own
1193
parcels
428
are
in
our
in
406.
Excuse
me
are
an
active
disposition
process,
meaning
that
an
RFP
is
out.
Community
process
has
begun
or
we
have
it
under
agreement
and
we're
waiting
for
the
developer
to
line
up
their
permits
and
financing.
And
then
another
550
parcels
are
in
research
and
review.
B
D
You
council
cm
oh,
and
thank
you
to
the
pianos
for
being
here
and
for
your
work
on
this
important
issue.
Sure
I
know
you
talked
about
IDP
in
your
opening
statements.
What
can
you
tell
us
about
the
enforcement
of
that
I
know?
There
have
been
some
cases
where
developers
have
advertised
for
these
units
as
affordable
and
then
turned
around
and
sold
them
for
market
market
rate
is.
D
B
The
way
that
the
division
of
labor
works
counselor
is
that
if
units
are
created
or
supposed
to
be
created
on-site
or
off-site
they're,
like
IDP
units,
the
BPD
a
regulates,
they
be
sign
an
agreement
with
the
developer
they
and
they
monitor
that
agreement
when
dedede
gets
involved.
If
a
developer,
as
is
paying,
is
paying
out
to
meet
their
obligation,
that
money
comes
to
D&D,
we
put
it
out
through
competitive
RFPs
and
we
monitor
those
units.
D
D
Thank
you
and
Sheila
I
know
you
will
with
us
at
the
recent
rally
to
preserve
row
houses
in
Chinatown.
That's
it
that's
a
neighborhood,
that's
important
to
you
and
to
me
as
well
and
to
the
mayor.
What
what
can
DND
do
in
terms
of
helping
us
on
that
issue?
Can
we
invest
in
some
of
those
row
houses?
We
we
invest
in
a
lot
of
neighborhoods,
so
we
able
to
try
to
help
that
community
out.
B
It's
a
really
good
question
and
I'm
I
was
I,
was
happy
to
be
there
with
you
on
that,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
preserve
Chinatown,
that
the
neighborhood
and
the
affordability
and
the
residents
that
live
there,
and
it's
also
important
to
preserve
the
beautiful
architecture
that
that
is
there
in
those
important
buildings.
They
have
a
lot
of
history,
so
we
have
I
D
and
E.
B
Working
with
the
mayor,
we've
been
very,
very
interested
in
increasing
the
amount
of
affordable
housing
that
in
Chinatown
right
now,
we've
got
parcel
12
with
which
the
B
PDA
is
put
out.
We've
got
50
Harold
we've
got
the
Taitung
parking
lot,
we've
got
Lagrange,
2
and
I.
These
are
in
the
forefront
of
my
my
brain
all
the
time,
because
I'm
always
trying
to
advance
projects
in
Chinatown
the
the
row.
Houses
are
a
little
bit
of
a
challenge
in
that
their
their
acquisition.
Prices
are
now
like
1.5
million
dollars
for
three
small
units.
B
So
it
it's
hard
to
make
the
numbers
work
and
to
convert
them
into
affordable
housing,
something
that
D&D
can
invest
in
it's
not
impossible,
but
it
would.
It
would
take
and
I've
met
with
Lydia,
Lowe
and
others
on
this.
It
would
take
you
know,
$400,000
per
unit
to
to
that
absurb
city
needed
to
sort
of
buy
and
and
convert
so
want
to
continue
to
work
with
the
neighborhood
groups
there
and
see
what
we
can
do.
B
I
think
it
is
going
to
be
important
through
the
BPD,
a
planning
process
that
the
row
houses
get
the
proper
zoning
at
the
end
of
this
and
and
what
our
rezoning
that
reflects.
Preservation.
So
I
want
to
continue
to
work
with
you
and
the
neighborhood
group
to
look
at
the
row
houses
and
how
we
can
convert
those
into
affordable
units.
Just
a
price
tag
to
acquire
is
so
high
I'm.
D
Afraid
if
we
and
I
know,
Council
Edwards
has
been
a
strong
supporter
on
this
issue
as
well,
but
I
know
if
we,
if
the
city
doesn't
get
involved
on
this
issue,
it'd
only
be
a
matter
of
time
before
these
immigrants
are
displaced.
These
longtime
residents
are
displaced,
elderly
are
displaced
and
we
turn
it
into
some
type
of
Airbnb
short-term
rental.
But
when
you,
when
you
do
that,
you
really
dismantle
a
great
American
neighborhood.
D
So
just
asking
again,
if,
if
we
can
think
outside
the
box
and
to
see
what
D&D
is
capable
of
doing
this,
there's
so
much
great
wealth
in
this
city
and
right
around
that
neighborhood,
some
of
the
biggest
buildings
in
the
country
are
right
around
Chinatown.
If
we
can,
if
we
can
build
the
Ritz
Carlton
right
there,
let's,
let's
preserve
some
rowhouses
I.
B
Think
you,
your
are
onto
something
I
know
that
the
BPD
I
was
looking
at
whether
a
developer
had
an
obligation.
You
know
an
affordable
housing
obligation
and
they
and
they
could
they
park,
that
affordable
housing
obligation
at
the
row
houses.
So
I
will
follow
up
on
that
to
counselor
to
see
if
that,
because
developers
have
deeper
pockets
so
that
that
might
be
a
good
strategy.
Yeah.
B
A
E
It's
great
to
see
you
and
your
team.
Thank
you
for
everything
you
guys
do
all
year
on
this
issue.
I'm
particularly
excited
about
the
successes
we've
had
with
the
Fenway
CDC
over
the
last
couple
years
on
some
large,
somewhat
fast-paced
projects
at
the
end
of
the
day
with
the
Burbank
gardens
and
the
Newcastle
apartments.
E
It
was
it's
great
to
see
and
it's
the
preservation
aspect
which
I
think
a
lot
of
people
forget
about
when
we're
talking
about
affordable
housing
that,
with
the
expiring
use
with
you,
know
whether
it's
D
restricted
that
comes
into
the
market
at
market
rate.
Excuse
me
or
just
rising
rents
in
general.
Preserving
what
exists
is
incredibly
important
and
to
that
point
you
want
to
just
again,
you
know
turn
your
attention
to
the
west
end.
We
have
the
Amy
Lowell
apartments.
E
I
know
you
and
I
have
had
long
discussions
about
that
and
I
know
we're
luckily
still
several
years
away
from
that
expiring
use,
but
it
is
at
the
forefront
of
the
hundreds
of
seniors
and
low-income
folks
who
do
live
there
of
addressing
that
and
don't
need
a
solution.
Now.
I
know
we're
setting
up
a
time
to
go
over
there
and
talk
to
them.
Hopefully.
E
E
Questions
I
know
we're
all
on
the
clock.
Everyone
has
a
lot
to
say:
Boston
I
think
we
can
always
do
better,
but
we
do
a
pretty
good
job,
I
think
percentage-wise.
I.
Think
of
you
know
inclusion
and
development
all
this
compared
to
many
of
our
peer
cities.
What
is
going
on
from
a
more
regional
approach
and
I-
don't
mean
just
you
know,
cambridge
and
somerville,
which
are
I
think
trying
to
do
similarly
to
us,
but
some
more
the
suburban
areas
where
this
is
a
regional
issue.
E
B
I'd
mentioned
that
the
mayor
mayor,
Walsh,
mayor
cretonne,
have
are
working
with
14
surrounding
cities
and
towns
and
they
have
a
goal
of
creating
185
thousand
units.
There
is
not
an
affordable
housing
goal
within
that
just
but
just
to
get
the
city.
The
surrounding
towns
to
embrace
a
multi-family
housing
would
be
a
very
good
thing.
You
know
we
every
year
have
to
track
incentive
the
state
how
much
affordable
housing
that
we
have,
and
we
have
about
20%
of
our
housing
stock
is
deed,
restricted,
affordable,
27
percent
of
our
rental
stock
is
DB
restricted
for
blowing.
B
That's
probably
the
highest
percentages
in
the
country
and
I.
Look
at
places
like
Belmont,
four
percent,
you
know
and
and
and
I
could
go
I
have
the
list
here
if
anyone's
interested
in
it
really
is
a
shame,
and
we
really
do
need
our
surrounding
cities
and
towns
to
do
more
for
lots
of
reasons,
it's
good
for
them.
It
you
know,
promotes
diversity
and,
and
they
should
be,
they
should
be
embracing
and
helping
us
with
this
regional
issue,
especially
if
it's
next
to
good
transit.
B
So
the
may
other
sorry,
the
governor
has
filed
a
housing
choice
bill
that
would
make
it
easier
for
cities
and
towns
with
a
simple
majority,
not
a
3/4
majority,
to
approve
new
housing
projects.
That
is
a
start,
and
some
of
us
would
like
to
see
that
bill
in
also
incorporate
an
affordable
housing
goal.
But
my
affordable,
housing
friends
will
say
we.
If
we
can't
get
that,
we
can't
build
a
formal
housing.
If
we
can't
even
get
you
know,
multi-family
housing
approved.
B
E
Do
think
obviously
supply
and
demand
and
Boston
alone,
we
can't
we
can't
build
our
way
out
of
this
in
Boston.
I.
Think
I
applaud
that
your
efforts,
I
don't
mean
this
is
a
criticism,
but
it
is.
It
needs
to
fall
on
on
everyone
in
the
Commonwealth
and
certainly
in
the
metro
region,
with
our
rising
cost
on
that
point,
inclusionary
development
policies.
On
that
a
little
bit
there
been
some
discussions
about
updating
that
once
again,
obvious
was
a
2015
when
we
did
it.
So
that's
already,
you
know
four
four
years
ago,
where
are
we
I
know?
B
You're
involved,
though
so
I
think
it
was
July
July
15,
so
we
said
we
would
look
at
it
again.
In
three
years
the
BP
da
has
hired
a
talented
outside
consultant
sort
of
a
similar
process
to
let,
as
last
year,
land
wise
that
really
understands
inclusionary
development
and
has
been
that
the
consultant
has
been
meeting
with
affordable
housing
advocates
to
better
understand,
need
and
developers
to
better
understand
their
development
pro
formas
to
see.
If
there
is
any
more
we
can
get
out
of
private
development.
B
E
That
point
something
I
would
ask
in
your
area
of
expertise,
a
lot
of
what
I
hear
from
folks
who
are
opposing
increasing
the
inclusion
they're
almost
like.
Oh,
it's
easy
to
say
now
in
good
times
to
do
it,
but
when
it's
not
good
times,
it's
gonna
really
slow
things
down.
Is
there
a
mechanism
or
is
there
discussion
about
I,
don't
even
know
what
we
would
look
at,
but
some
sort
of
index.
B
Right,
you
know
the
the
the
last
time
we
did
it
in
this
time
the
consultant
looks,
builds
a
model
and
they
look
at
land
values,
construction
prices,
rents,
sales
prices,
so
I,
don't
I.
Think
the
index
is
an
interesting
idea,
but
but
it's
just
it's
one.
It's
one
variable
out
of
probably
you
know
five
or
six
or
seven.
We
do
have
a
home
rule
petition
that
would
bake,
allow
IDP
to
be
baked
into
zoning,
so
we
could
more
often
than
not.
If
there
was
a
downturn,
just
you
know,
do
an
independent
third-party
analysis.
B
E
F
Thank
You
councillor,
siamo
and
chief.
Thank
you
as
well
as
the
team
that
is
sitting
with
you,
those
sitting
behind
me
and
all
of
the
folks
who,
of
course,
couldn't
be
here,
because
they're
working
either
across
the
street
or
in
community
so
really
appreciate
the
work
you
guys
are
doing
also
want
to
thank
you
for
the
continued
partnership
looking
at
how
we
activate
vacant
and
blighted
properties,
particularly
in
District,
four,
really
appreciated
the
meeting
yesterday
to
make
something
happen,
not
even
short
term
long
term
projects
which
is
really
exciting
to
start
thinking
outside
the
box.
F
So
I
applaud
your
team
and
partnership
for
that,
as
well
as
four
corners
and
just
the
pulling
in
our
state
delegation
and
having
a
robust
conversation
around
the
parcels
there.
So
thank
you
for
that
as
well.
Just
some
questions
on
the
intergenerational
housing
piece
that
came
up,
which
is
really
exciting.
I
know
folks
have
been
talking
about
that
for
some
time,
including
a
Dorchester
Mattapan,
a
lot
of
folks
who
don't
necessarily
want
to
move
into
a
senior
home
or
assisted
living,
but
want
a
sense
of
a
community.
What,
with
some
younger
folks,
I'm
curious?
F
B
Exciting
it
is
very
exciting
and
it
was.
The
pilot
was
successful
enough
that
we
said
there's
something
here:
let's
let's
scale
so
in
the
budget,
there's
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
we
would
RFP,
because
there's
there's
nest
early,
which
of
all
you
know,
grown
to
really
respect,
but
there's
other
platforms
as
well,
and
so
we'd
be
looking
for
a
non-profit
to
team
up
with
with
us
as
a
partner,
but
really
make
the
matches
between
the
students
and
the
elderly
work
out.
B
The
agreements
do
the
screening
etc,
so
that
$100,000
in
the
budget,
they
would
have
to
leverage
other
additional
money.
But
it
would
allow
us
to
say
too
high
not
hire
but
contract
with
a
good
non-profit
to
really
do
this
service
citywide
and
it's
the
stories
that
we've
heard
have
been
fabulous
in
an
elderly
person
will
get
additional
revenue
from
a
graduate
student.
Sometimes
they
work
out
arrangements
where
the
rent
is
reduced
because
of
shoveling
or
grocery
shopping
or
other
things.
B
The
companions
you
know
friendships
develop,
and
so
we've
got
a
lot
of
elderly
people
in
very
large
homes,
with
lots
of
space
and
not
everybody
is
not.
Everybody
wants
to
do
this,
but
there
is
a
cohort
of
elderly
people.
That's
seen
the
benefit,
and
it's
good
for
our
students
as
well.
So
I
would
love
to
see
hundreds
of
these
matches
made
no.
F
That's
great
whether
it's
staying
in
in
their
homes
or
looking
at
even
projects
that
you
could
create
intergenerational
housing.
I
know,
there's
a
small
organization
run
by
frankly,
a
person
of
color
that
is
running
a
development
project,
I
believe
actually
it's
in
Roxbury,
developing
a
building
for
for
integration,
intergenerational
housing
and
so
looking
at
having
conversations
about
how
we
turn
some
of
our
development
projects.
So
we'll
Kimbo.
F
I
do
both
both
yes,
both
have
both
get
to
this
theme
of
intergenerational
housing,
whether
you're
doing
it
in
someone's
existing
home
or
folks
who
want
to
stay
in
community,
maybe
move
out
of
their
home
into
a
new
building.
That's
been
developed
with
the
theme
of
intergenerational
housing,
so
came
across
someone
who
is
sort
of
doing
that
on
a
very
small
scale,
but
continue
that
can
continue
that
conversation,
particularly
we
look
at
how
we
activate
some
of
these
Lots
yeah.
So
it's
just
I.
B
Would
love
to
meet
with
that
person
if
you
want
to
bring
us
together,
I
I,
really
like
intergenerational
I,
think
I,
don't
know
you
know
you
go
to
other
countries
and
you
just
see
it's
it's
just
there's
more
generation
intergenerational
activities.
You
know
social
and
educational
and
I
think
we
need
to
do
a
better
job
in
our
neighborhood,
so
I
would
love
to
meet
with
that
person.
Council.
F
That's
great
and
we'll
continue
continue
that
for
sure
we
used
to
get
a
Bandhan
property
rehab
grant
from
the
AG
I
want
to
say
back
in
I
think
in
2010
or
some
years
that
then
ended
in
2014.
I
was
just
trying
to
see
if
that
program
was
effective.
What
the
resources
were
used
for,
if
not
we
can.
We
can
follow
up
on
offline
yeah.
B
B
We
put
a
goodly
amount
of
money
every
year
into
foreclosure
prevention.
We
can't
we
do
it
ourselves
if
we
have
our
own
staff
that
are
very,
very
skilled,
working
with
banks
and
mortgage
companies.
We
also
contract
with
nonprofits
and
there's
very
few
foreclosures
right
now
in
the
city,
I
mean,
if
you
got
into
trouble,
you
can
sell
your
property,
but
still
we
have
seen
we've
gotten
very
organized
and
every
time
we
see
notice
in
the
paper
foreclosure
notice
we're
reaching
out
to
that.
B
If
it's
a
homeowner
reaching
out
to
the
homeowner
to
see
how
we
can
help
and
how
we
can
team
them
up,
so
I
I
want
to
say
and
I'll
get
you
the
exact
number
I
think.
Last
year
there
were
50
foreclosures
homeowners
that
foreclosed
down
from
thousands-
and
you
know
the
2009/2010,
so
it's
a
very
it
for
a
city
this
size,
it's
a
small
number.
G
So
so
she'll
you
in
pretty
impressive
125
million
towards
housing.
Couple
things:
how
long
can
we
sustain
that
commitment
and
what
does
that
commitment
look
like
in
previous
years
so
three
years
ago?
Was
it
75
million?
Oh,
do
you
have
a
sense
of
the
last
couple
years
and
what
you
think
the
next
couple
of
years
will
will
be
I'm.
B
B
Is
money
that
I'm
counting
on
for
Dedes
budget
next
year
and
that
doesn't
take
all
of
the
CPA
money?
Okay
I'm
assuming
our
but
our
base,
budgets,
105
and
then
I'm
hoping
to
get
10
million
dollars
in
linkage
which,
but
that's
a
separate
set
of
approvals
and
ten
million
in
CPA
about
50%?
That's
an
estimate!
It
would
require
your.
You
know
your
approval,
so
I'm
saying
the
budget
next
year
be
about
125
million
dollars.
G
B
H
We
were
at
20
million
in
FY,
2010
515
were
at
10
million,
so
the
city
investment
in
housing
and
housing
programs
has
doubled
over
that
period,
which
is
great
to
see
city
external
sources
like
HUD
grants
have
been
flat
or
declining
for
the
most
part.
I
would
expect.
On
the
external
side,
it
seems,
like
things
have
kind
of
leveled
off
every
year.
The
past
few
years,
President
Trump
has
proposed
eliminating
CDBG
and
home
and
a
lot
of
our
federal
sources.
H
Congress
has
been
able
to
beat
that
back
and
we've
retained
our
federal
funding,
which
is
great
and
on
the
city
side.
I.
Think
our
understanding
of
our
expectation
is
that
we're
going
to
have
this
level
of
commitment
going
forward.
I
think
the
you
know
the
investment
that
we're
seeing
in
from
the
increase
in
the
room
occupancy
tax,
as
proposed
in
this
budget
we've
been,
you
know,
that's
been
committed
to
housing
going
forward
so
and
on
our
you
know,
the
linkage
in
IDP
collections.
H
H
H
H
Yeah
so
I
would
I
would
actually
expect
that
numbers,
probably
gonna,
go
up
and
I
think
the
same
for
for
linkage.
I
think
we
go
into
the
year
kind
of
we
don't
want
to
be
too
aggressive
and
what
we're
assuming
and
then
what
we've
seen
in
recent
years
is
that
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
actually
ends
up
looking
better
than
we
than
we
expected
good.
G
B
We
are,
we
are,
we
are
doing
it
now.
I
will
give
you
more
I
will
get
you
a
report
on
how
many
units
have
been
created
and
where
they've
been
created.
I
don't
know
Rick.
If
you
have
that,
but
so
we
we
saw
you
know
about
12
months
ago.
No
surprise
and
I
was
talking
to
councillor
Campbell
about
this
lots
on
good
Dale
Road.
In
her
district,
we
started
to
all
of
a
sudden
see
this
lovely
program
that
had
fairly
reasonable
construction
costs
go
through
the
roof.
Nobody
could
make
the
numbers
work.
B
These
are
small
shops,
non-union
they
just
they
all
of
a
sudden
couldn't
make
the
numbers
work.
So
staff
have
been
working
for
the
last
two
months.
Looking
at
our
designs
in
their
beautiful
homes,
they're
a
little
they're
a
little,
you
know
maybe
they're,
maybe
up
too
many
bays.
Maybe
we
have
too
many
roof
pitches.
Maybe
we
need
to
simplify
so
we've
started
working
with
our
architects
to
see
if
we
could
simplify
the
design
still
have
a
high
quality
home
yeah
look
at
the
size
of
the
homes.
B
Can
we
you
know,
can
we
make
them
a
bit
smaller
but
tighter,
more
efficient,
so
we're
starting
to
look
at
the
designs
and
other
things
to
see
if
we
can't
bring
the
cost
down,
because
we
don't
want
to
stop
the
program,
it's
a
fabulous
program.
Neighborhoods
love
this
program,
I,
never
I
mean
I've,
been
to
a
lot
of
community
meetings
in
my
career,
and
these
are
the
best.
B
G
No,
but
but
bills
yeah,
maybe
it's
condominiums
or
yeah.
The
development
I
think
maybe
more
density
might
help
us
to
bring
that
to
bring
that
cost
down.
Can
I
have
one
more
question
sure
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Everybody
Rick
I
think
this
is
for
you
five
six,
two
hundred
lines
special
appropriations.
What
is
that
yeah.
H
So
that
the
special
appropriation
is
our
housing,
twenty
thirty
of
special
appropriation,
so
I
can
kind
of
give
you
a
quick
summary
of
what
that's
fun.
What
that
funds,
so
that
the
total
there
is
thirteen
million
dollars-
and
that
includes
about
four
million
of
that
goes
to
our
home
center
proper
home
center
programs
in
general.
This
is
funding
is
used
for
programs
that
are
not
eligible
for
our
federal
grants
like
CDBG
and
homes.
H
Those
are
general
fund
dollars,
I
think
you
know
it
initially
used
to
be
called
leading
the
way,
and
that
was
tied
to
property
sales
and
then
Mayor
Walsh
came
into
office.
He
kind
of
with
the
housing
plan.
We
repositioned
every
rebranded
it
as
housing,
20,000,
2030
funds,
and
that's
what
that
is-
and
it's
I
mean
that
that's
the
source
that
really
has
grown
over
the
past
five
years.
Okay,.
I
Mr.
chair
and
many
thanks
to
the
panel
for
all
of
your
good
work,
if
you
recall
chief
Dillon
at
the
hearing
that
councillor
Edwards
and
I
had
on
our
transfer
fee
proposal,
maybe
three
weeks
ago,
I
asked
a
question
about
what
the
need
was.
What
what
is
the
need
in
terms
of
the
number
of
units
and
what
is
the
need
in
terms
of
the
number,
the
the
amount
of
money
in
terms
of
dollars,
and
at
that
time
you
didn't
have
a
number
so
I'm
hope,
I'm
hopeful
that
you
have
some
today.
We.
B
B
Looking
at
the
number
of
there's
a
lot
a
lot
of
ways
to
look
at
this
at
this
number,
but
what
we
did
and-
and
it's
in
if
this-
if
this
doesn't
satisfy,
we
can
certainly
cut
it
and
slice
it
in
a
different
way,
but
there's
31,000,
low-income
households,
making
$50,000
or
less
that
are
severely
rent
burdened
and
to
me,
when
I,
when
I,
there's
there's
other
housing
need
people
want
to
buy
a
home.
It's
too
expensive,
Millennials
are
moving
in
and
they're
paying
41
percent
of
their
income.
B
You
know,
there's
there's
lots
of
situations
out
there,
but
when
you
really
think
about
what
the
one
that
sort
of
makes
us
all
kind
of
tugs
at
us
is
that
these
I
think
the
31
households
that
are
making
less
than
fifty
50
thousand
dollars
they're
paying
more
than
50%
of
their
income
towards
rent.
So
it's
thirty
one
thousand
eight
hundred
and
eleven
of
those
households.
Now
we
could
solve
it.
If
we
had
resources,
we
could
we
looked
a
different
way
different
just
to
do
the
math
so,
depending
on
how
what
the
solution
is.
B
I
H
And
and
that
what's
in
the
budget
is
actually
what
we
plan
on
kind
of
committing
next
year,
it's
not
what
we
planned,
it's
not
what
we
expect
to
collect.
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
apples
to
oranges,
I
guess
compared
to
what
I
was
just
referencing
earlier,
but
we
you
know,
we
we
are
collecting
money
all
the
time
and
then
we're
rewarding
projects
based
on
what
we
think
things
are
going
to
come
online
and
when
they're
applying
for
applying
for
our
funding
and
our
affordable
housing
funding
rounds.
I
In
terms
of
the
calls
that
come
to
my
office,
many
are
around
displacement
due
to
whether
it's
an
actual
eviction,
its
the
tenant,
has
to
move,
for
whatever
reasons
you
mentioned
in
your
opening
I
think
2,800
people
that
were
getting
some
sort
of
supportive
service
from
your
office
around
evictions
or
displacement.
Do
you
have
that
data
by
neighborhood
by
zip
code
by
city,
council,
district
I
believe.
B
B
I
What
is
it
that
your
office
is
doing
to
increase
that
figure
in
terms
of
making
sure
more
of
the
city's
money,
which
is
the
taxpayers
money?
It's
it's
our
money
that
we're
spending
just
to
be
clear
to
make
sure
more
of
that's
getting
into
the
hands
of
local
business
and
businesses
owned
by
women
and
people
of
color.
So.
B
Okay,
it's
not
a
massive
amount
of
money,
but
these
are.
These
are
folks
that
are
cleaning
lots
and
tree.
You
know
pruning
and
plumbers,
and
that
kind
of
thing
and
thirty-eight
point
six.
One
percent
went
to
businesses
that
we
they're
women
or
minority
owned.
So
that
number
is
thirty,
eight
point,
six
one
percent
or
three
hundred
and
thirty,
four
thousand
in.
B
We
can
get
Lisp,
it's
landscape,
it's
you
know
small
businesses
and
then
we,
as
you
know,
because
you've
been
following
this
very
closely.
We
have
changed
our
our
RFP,
our
RFPs,
and
we
put
out
land
and
buildings
for
development
and
really
requiring
development
teams
to
be
more
representative
of
the
neighborhoods
and
I
think
the
first.
The
first
big
push
was
that
Dudley
RFPs
before
we
put
out
and
I
think
the
results
are
really
encouraging.
We're
really
are
seeing
very
integrated
teams,
we're
seeing
diversity
and
ownership.
J
J
That
was
something
that
we
partnered
in
very
early
myself.
My
teams
we
go
out
and
we
see
the
small
GC.
We
see
the
small
painter,
we
see
the
small
fence
contractor
and
my
team
is
very
much
tasked
with
identifying
folks
that
are
locally
based
to
respond.
We
provide
the
technical
assistance,
we
walk
them
through
a
process
by
which
we
want
them
to
become
certified
in
the
city
to
understand
that
these
opportunities
are
very
real.
J
The
challenging
aspect,
though,
and
to
look
at
it
is
sometimes
folks,
are
not
well
positioned
to
take
on
some
of
the
projects,
and
so
in
order
for
us
to
get
them
ready
for
that.
We
want
them
to
engage
with
the
office
of
small
business
to
give
them
those
side
tools
so
that
they
can
in
turn
respond.
Outreach
is
everyday
all
day,
I
do
it
on
the
weekends
my
staff
does
does
the
same
thing.
K
J
Was
something
that
I
felt
you
know
we
could?
You
know
toot
our
horn
to
and
I
think
that
the
the
minority
development
community
understood
that
we're
now
ready
to
make
this
jump,
we're
really
wanting
to
broaden
and
open
up
the
the
playing
field.
So
we
do
quite
a
bit
of
outreach
and
I
know.
I've
spoken
to
you
know
a
number
of
the
city
councillors
here
and
said.
I
L
You
I
I,
want
to
say
a
couple
things
before
I
start
with
my
questions.
If
you
hadn't
heard
it
today
to
the
folks
at
D
and
E
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
your
work,
for
how
hard
you're
working
for
the
folks
in
Boston
I
was
just
thinking
of
all
the
areas
that
DND
touches
and
I
just
was
writing
them
down.
L
If
your
house
is
caught
on
fire,
if
you
are
in
a
deed,
restricted
unit,
all
aspects
of
living
DND
is
touching
and
I'm,
not
saying
that,
because
I
had
the
honor
to
work
with
be
mentored
by
patiently
by
some
folks
in
in
this
room,
I
just
know
of
what
it's
like
to
be
in
the
trenches
and
a
lot
of
people.
Don't
understand
it's
not
a
nine-to-five
job
when
you're
working
and
housing
and
when
you're
dealing
with
the
kind
of
crisis
that
we
see
and
so
I
wanted
to
say.
L
Thank
you
and
I
hope
that
when
you're,
seeing
or
hearing
the
questions
for
me
or
the
idea,
ideas
and
proposals
that
come
from
my
my
team
in
many
cases,
that's
a
reflection
of
the
education
I
got
from
you
and
and
what
you
are
able
to
help
me
become
so
I
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you
so
much
and
I.
So
just
going
into
a
couple
things
I
wanted
to
do
some
check-ins
about
where
we
are
in
housing
in
terms
of
numbers.
B
B
So
that's
that's
looking
at
zeros
ones,
twos
and
threes,
but
just
say:
let's
look
at
twos,
so
2500
in
in
18
compared
to
24
52
in
17,
so
existing
properties,
older
properties,
we
saw
2.7
percent
increase
all
so
when
you
look
at
the
new
new
development
and
and
including
the
older
stock,
3.3
percent
increase.
The
first
quarter
showed
the
same
that
there
had
that
rents
that
rents,
we're
not
increasing
more
than
two
three
percent,
and
so
we're
waiting
very
with
bated
breath
for
a
quarter
to
end
is.
L
B
L
So
again,
just
checking
in
generally,
where
we
are,
we
I,
never
gonna
I'm
gonna
bring
up
IDP,
but
in
general
I
know
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
I've
heard
about
IDP
and
what
we
hope
is
on
the
table
when
we're
looking
at.
It
is
the
fact
that,
because
it
only
really
hits
at
10
units
and
higher
we're
seeing
I'm
wondering
if
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
development
of
7
8
9
unit
buildings
to
avoid
having
to
deal
with
IDP
all
together.
L
B
B
If
some
of
those
developments
also
could
contribute
in
some
way,
so
I
think
that
is
gonna,
be
part
of
the
discussion.
There's
certainly
I,
don't
want
to
say
that
there
is
any
decisions
made
on
that,
because
that
will
be
a
discussion
we
have
to
have
with
the
mayor
and
advocates
and
developers
and
all
of
the
rest,
but
I
think
there
is
the
feeling
that
there's
too
many
developments
at
the
8
and
9
units
and
they
should
be
contributing.
L
Again
in
a
general
check
in
home
ownership,
so
you
know,
maha
has
the
aggressive
one
I
would
say
wonderful
goal
actually
of
going
to
get
a
thousand
new
homeowners
and
in
general
I
know
that
you
graduated
1300,
folks
or
dd-did.
How
many
of
those
are
becoming
homeowners?
How
many
or
not
I'm
sure
the
market
has
a
great
deal
to
do
with
that,
but.
B
Remarks
the
markets,
tough
and-
and
we
think
about
this
all
the
time
we
are
you
know
the
more
we
can
build,
affordable,
homeownership,
the
better
off
we
will
be,
but
not
everybody
wants
and
buy
a
deed,
restricted
unit.
We
understand
that,
so
we
still
are
working
with
families
that
want
to
buy
in
less
expensive
parts
of
the
city
we
have
signed
on
to
the
maha
goal
of
a
thousand
new
homeowners.
B
So
Maureen,
Flynn
and
I
have
been
working
with
banks
and
mass
housing
to
see
if
we
can
develop
a
less
expensive
mortgage
product
and
we're
very
excited
that
the
CPA
this
last
round
made
an
award
of
3.8
million
dollars
for
larger
down
payment.
So
if
we
could
team
that
up
with
a
more
aggressive
mortgage
product,
then
people
can
buy
more
house,
so
we're
we're
modeling
that
right
now,
counselor,
so
we're
hoping
that
is
somewhere
in
there
as
a
secret
sauce
that
gets
more
people
into
homes
and.
L
B
Agree
we
we
haven't
seen
co-op
development
that
much
in
Boston
at
all
what
we
are
very
excited
to
one
of
the
developers
selected
in
the
Highland
Park
piece
of
real
estate
that
we
put
out
is
going
to
do
a
cooperative,
which
is
terrific.
We're
really
excited
about
that,
because
we
haven't
seen
that
in
a
while.
We're
also
looking
at
working
we're
scheduling,
meetings
with
nonprofits
in
in
England
the
United
K
to
look
at
partial
ownership.
Don't
fully
understand
it,
but
we're
looking
at
that
as
well.
B
L
F
M
B
I
can
take
one
piece
million
so
so
the
five
million
is
reoccur,
reoccurring,
source
coming
from
hotel
tax
and
we
are
going
to
earmark
it
four
million
of
it
for
four
million
of
it.
Five,
yes,
for
four
million
of
it
for
to
build
permanent,
supportive
housing.
So
we
are
hoping
to
identify
each
and
every
year
a
new
supportive
housing
project.
B
M
B
Would
be,
it
would
be
the
for
the
first
two
projects
that
we're
sort
of
have
have
targeted,
although
people
would
have
to
apply
for
the
funding,
would
be
new
new
construction
new
units.
What
we
have
found
in
working
with
all
of
our
nonprofit
partners
is
that
we
don't
have
enough
supportive
housing
for
people
who
really
can't
live
independently,
and
while
we've
housed
a
lot
of
homeless
individuals
and
families
in
in
properties
and
brought
supportive
services
to
them
in
some
ways,
and
sometimes
that
makes
perfect
sense.
Sometimes
people
need
to
24/7
care
oversight
support.
B
N
So
for
is
being
targeted
to
build
permanent,
supportive
housing
or
create
permanent,
supportive
housing
for
chronically
homeless
individuals
and
then
1
million
we're
dedicating
to
ending
youth
homelessness.
So,
as
you
know,
and
you've
been
a
leader
in
this
effort,
as
have
your
staff,
the
city
and
the
city
and
our
community
has
engaged
in
a
planning
process
around
ending
youth
homelessness
over
the
last
you're
almost
year
and
a
half
now
and
then
in
July.
N
We
were
awarded
four
point:
nine
million
dollars
for
a
two-year
grant
to
support
the
housing
interventions
related
to
ending
youth
homelessness,
but
and
that's
coming
from
HUD,
so
those
dollars
really
have
to
be
dedicated
to
housing.
But
what
I've
learned
over
the
course
of
this
process
is
that
ending
youth
homelessness
is
really
not
just
about
housing.
It's
also
about
creating
opportunities.
N
So
the
idea
with
this
1
million
dollars
is
it's
more
flexible
and
we'll
be
able
to
look
at
the
strategic
plan
that
will
be
released
in
the
in
the
next
month
and
pay
for
some
of
those
other
pieces
that
that
we
can't
use
the
federal
funding
for
so
to
pay
for
employment
program
to
pay
for
training
for
education.
In
some
cases,
perhaps
homelessness
prevention
among
youth
and
young
adults,
and
and
really
make
sure
that
we
have
a
full,
a
full
safety
net.
N
M
Then,
how
are
we
identifying
who
the
youth
will
be
in
particular
and
then
also
if
you
could
just
talk
a
little
bit
about
family
homelessness
and
how
are
we
looking
to
create
units
that
could
house
families?
Can
we
talk
about
individuals?
We
talk
about
youth
where
we're
talking
about
small
units.
Families
obviously
need
a
much
different
housing
stock,
and
we
know
that
we
have
4,200
students,
at
least
in
the
Boston
Public
Schools,
experiencing
homelessness.
The
majority
of
those
kids
are
part
of
a
family
unit.
N
And
and
I
should
add
that,
when
we're
talking
about
homelessness
among
youth
and
young
adults,
that
includes
youth
and
young
adults
who
are
parenting.
So
some
of
those
households
are
families,
it's
really
defined,
as
anyone
who
head
of
household
is
24
under
25
years
old,
so
in
terms
of
identification
of
young
people
experiencing
homelessness,
that's
actually
something
we
want
to
improve
and
that
that's
in
the
strategic
plan
is
finding
strategies
to
improve
identification.
N
We
certainly
are
aware,
through
our
data
collection
and
we're
aware
of
the
youth
and
young
adults
who
are
already
in
the
very
standard
homeless
response
system.
So
if
they're
living
in
shelter
or
having
contacts
with
street
outreach,
we
have
the
data
and
we
have
their
ages
if
they
disclose
that
we
are.
N
You
know,
PPS
has
been
part
of
this
effort
or
so
we're
working
with
bps
and
other
systems,
Department
of
Children
and
Families
criminal
justice
systems
to
think
about
how
to
identify
who
in
in
there
systems
are
actually
experiencing
homelessness,
and
that's
a
that's
more
of
a
public
health
type
approaches.
How
do
you
identify
a
population
within
a
very
broad
context,
so
we're
we're
looking
at
strategies
to
do
that?
N
Yes,
so
yes,
so
in
terms
of
homeless
families
and
who
are
maybe
not
fitting
that
age
category
and
many
families
experiencing
homelessness
do
have
a
young
head
of
household,
but
not
all
by
any
means.
So
we
have
had
on
the
books
and
counselor
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with
the
policy
that
we
call
the
set-aside
homeless,
set
aside
policy,
so
every
development
that
has
more
than
10
units
I
believe
in
the
City
of
Boston,
and
this
has
been
in
place
since
the
late
90s.
N
Every
development
has
to
set
aside
ten
at
every
affordable
development
that
has
more
than
ten
units
has
to
set
aside
10%,
at
least
of
those
units
for
homeless
households
and
the
unit
breakdown
is
supposed
to
mirror
whatever
the
composition
of
units
are
in
that
development.
So
if
it's
a
development
with
all
three
bedrooms,
then
10%,
the
those
10%
that
are
set
aside
for
households
experiencing
homelessness
should
also
be
three
bedroom.
M
My
time
is
up
a
lot
of
what
is
being
built
in
the
city
is
not
three
bedrooms
and
the
data
from
the
state
that's
coming
in
is
showing
that
families
experiencing
homelessness
are
growing
in
size,
that
there
are
more
and
more
children
which
do
require
larger
units.
So
what
I'd
like
to
see
is
an
die
applauded.
This
work
I
think
it's
incredible.
The
HUD
money,
the
additional
investment
from
the
occupancy
tax
I,
think
it's
great
and
they
celebrate
it
and
applaud
it.
B
Just
want
I
just
I
just
have
to
add,
though,
and
I
know.
You
know
this
everything
we
tell
you
everything
we
tell
everybody
here,
probably
already
know,
but
the
we
were
very
happy
at
the
BHA
was
able
to
secure
those
thousand
vouchers
and
they
are
targeting
families
that
than
in
the
shelter
system
the
longest.
So
they
are
families
that
have
had
lots
of
obstacle,
including
family
sizes.
Now,
and
you
you
answer,
you
asked
me
this
question
the
other
day
and
I-
don't
have
an
answer
yet,
but
I
reached
out
to
the
BHA.
M
C
N
Wanna,
just
because
I
have
the
numbers
in
front
of
me.
Six
hundred
and
ninety
seven
of
the
homeless
set
asides
are
two-bedroom
or
larger
units.
I
don't
have
breakdown
more
granular
than
that,
but
we
can
get
it
so
697
or
two-bedroom
or
larger,
and
then
in
the
pipeline,
there's
144
more
that
are
two-bedroom
or
larger.
Thank.
O
B
O
But
you
you
do
remarkable
work
and
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
one
of
the
biggest
issues
were
facing
as
a
cydia
is
affordability
as
displacement.
Is
the
housing
crunch
so
really
appreciate
what
your
team
does
and
the
folks
sitting
behind
me?
It's
really
important
work.
Some
brief
questions
on
sort
of
just
housekeeping
budget
issues
lined
50,
100
or
51,000
permanent
employees
increases
by
two
hundred.
Seventeen
thousand
are
those
new
positions,
or
is
that
sort
of
collective.
H
Most
of
that
is
going
to
be
collective
bargaining
increases.
We
are
getting,
let's
say
one
new
position:
general
operating
funded
position
to
support
our
affirmative,
fair
housing,
marketing
program,
which
we
are
very
excited
about
right
and
that
program,
but
the
rest
of
that
is
primarily
great
collective
Arden.
O
And
have
you
have
you
identified
someone
for
that
role?
You
know
I'm.
H
K
O
H
O
H
H
That's
no
CPA
is
actually
not
reflected
in
our
budget.
That's
kind
of
off
budget
goes
through
a
different
process
that
four
point:
seven
five
million
is
the
four
million
that
Jill
talked
about
the
permanent,
supportive
housing
investment,
50
tax
increase,
and
then
it's
the
two
hundred
seventy
five
thousand
is
actually
just
a
shift
from
operating
funds.
To
that
special
appropriation,
great.
H
O
Yeah
so
I
can
say
this:
you
probably
can't
that
there's
a
lot
of
concern
that
you
have
folks
running
HUD
at
the
federal
level
who
have
no
clue
what
they're
doing,
but
it
doesn't
seem
that
they've,
you
know,
states
Inc
things
seem
pretty
static.
From
that
point
of
view,
they've
tried
they
tried
to
reduce.
O
B
O
Yeah
I
mean
your
your
workload
is
double,
then
it
shows
the
incompetence
at
the
federal
level
so
I'm
glad
that
we
have
such
beyond
competence
at
the
local
level.
With
your
team
Sheila,
you
mentioned
I.
Think
in
your
opening
remarks
and
I
want
you
to
just
delve
in
the
weeds
a
little
bit
more
on
the
great
success
at
the
forbs
building
and
what's
happening
there
and
then
how
we
can
sort
of
expand
that
at
other
expiring,
use,
affordable
developments.
So.
B
B
As
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
it's
a
hundred
and
seventy
ish
units
of
housing
located
in
a
in
a
very
desirable
part
of
JP,
and
these
a
lot
of
these
are
low
income,
elderly
folks,
so
I
know
that
you've
been
really
watching
this
very
very
closely,
but
with
state
resources,
city
resources
and
some
of
these
new
vouchers
from
the
BHA.
We're
hopeful
that
we
can
put
a
deal
together
that
will
make
the
owner
whole
and
he
will
agree
to
keep
the
units
affordable
and
I
really
want
to
just
credit.
B
The
HUD
tenant
Alliance
Michael
Caine
is
here
today
on
in
his
work
with
with
the
residents.
So
really
good
news
and
I
was
saying
to
Michael
earlier
outside.
You
know
we're
really
down
to
two
we're
down
to
the
mercantile
30
nays
down
to
mercantile
and
Babcock
and
Brighton
and
the
other
the
other
developments
we
have
either.
You
know
figured
out
a
solution
or
the
tenants
are
going
to
be
safe,
but
that
we
started
with
a
thousand
units
in
very
strong
neighborhoods
with
a
lot
of
very
low-income
people.
B
O
Work
there
and
thank
you
for
mentioning
Michael
Caine
and
the
incredible
work
that
he
does
in
our
neighborhood.
It
is
a
wonderful
thing.
We
clearly
have
a
lot
more
work
to
do,
but
that's
just
great
because,
as
you
said,
that
I
think
we
all
fear
that
was
gonna
be
sold,
demolish,
bulldoze
people
would
be
displaced
and
it
would
just
be
more
luxury
condos,
but
it's
gonna
continue
to
be
a
vibrant
and
diverse,
wonderful,
safe
housing
development
that
we
love
to
support
so
Thank
You.
Mr.
chairman,
thank
you
all
Thank.
G
Yardsale
I've
had
a
couple
situations
where
the
yard
sale,
some
of
some
of
the
you
know
like
people
were
building
in
them,
we're
not
supposed
to
build
a
no
one
developer
in
particular
found
a
loophole.
How
are
we
gonna?
How
are
we
going
to
deal
with
that?
Moving
forward
and
and
I
think
on
some
of
the
Lots
it's
appropriate
to
to
build
on?
So
how
does
a
future
look
like
for
the
odds,
Donald
or
or
I'll.
B
Don't
know
what
the
yard
sale
program
is
that,
many
years
ago
the
city
owned
a
lot
more
land
than
we
do
now,
and
land
was
sold
and
they're
big
parcels
of
land
for
side
yards
and
the
many
of
these
deed
restrictions
that
were
put
on
these
parcels
were
faulty,
and
my
crude
understanding
is
that
the
obligation
went
from
the
owner
to
the
owner
and
they
didn't
it
didn't
go
from
the
oh,
the
city
to
the
owner.
So
developers
are
saying
these
deed
restrictions
aren't
any
good
you
you
can't.
B
G
B
J
You,
chief
and
and
council,
what
we've
seen
is,
you
know.
Initially
this
was
a
non-starter
non-conversation
and
then
we
started
to
see
that
proposals
were
coming
in
to
sort
of
circumvent
the
restriction
by
a
common
sort
of
attachment
where
the
restriction
is
open.
Space
to
building,
in
addition
to
your
home
or
parking,
and
so.
J
And
so
people
were
literally
a
common
breezeway,
anything
okay,
we're
gonna,
throw
three
units
here
and
so
the
community
who
most
of
our
neighborhood
associations
know
about
the
program.
They
knew
that
these
were
deep,
restricted
parcels,
and
so
what
we
attempted
to
do
was
to
get
a
little
ahead
of
it,
and
so,
when
folks
were
coming
in
initially
we
were
saying
no
we're,
not
gonna.
You
know
waive
those
restrictions.
Then
we
started
to
figure
out
what
sort
of
leverage
I
mean
that
the
the
city
has
interest
in
this,
and
so
what
can
we?
J
You
know
we
use
and-
and
so
we
started
to
have
conversations
around-
can
the
city
get
a
unit
or
more
of
affordable
housing?
However,
you've
got
to
go
through
a
process,
and
so
our
internal
work
flows
from
design
underwriting
et
cetera,
but
then
also
the
major
issue
became.
Does
the
community
support
it?
Is
there
a
level
of
affordability
out
of
that
deal?
That's
going
to
support
what
the
community
is
asking
for.
I
just
had
a
conversation
and
we
were
working
through
a
process
in
in
fields
corner
where
the
the
neighbor
team
supported
the
development.
J
However,
they
wanted
an
additional
unit
to
the
original
unit,
and
so
there's
got
to
be
a
simple
back
and
forth,
but
you
know
an
understanding
that
there
there
are
some
concerns
with
it.
We
built
in
a
workflow
with
the
office
of
neighborhood
services
and
so
that
we
can
get
ahead
and
get
to
the
CBA
date
when
they're
trying
to
get
those
those
approved
right.
And
so
what
we're
doing
is
asking
that
there
be
a
deferral
so
that
development,
team
or
individual
can
come
back
to
D
and
D.
G
B
J
They're
coming
in
and
then
also
because
of
part
of
our
process,
they
know
that
they
have
to
get
in
front
of
those
neighborhood
associations,
and
so,
as
that
gets
around
they're
coming
to
us
as
well
we're
trying
to
build
in
some
internal
workflows
and
other
divisions.
That
may
work
for
this
like
if
there
was
a
way
in
which
we
could
have
something
that
showed
up
at
at
ISD.
J
We
can't
get
involved
in
into
their
systems,
but
we're
working
collectively
to
try
to
find
a
resolve,
we're
trying
to
look
at
our
internal
system
and
which
we
use
Salesforce,
and
maybe
is
there
a
way
of
identifying
when
new
permits
Apple.
Will
it
flag
those
parcels
that
have
partial
eyes
these
that
are
associated
with
this
list
of
restrictions.
J
J
Started
that
way,
there
was
a
trend
where
homeowners
were
coming
in,
because
people
were
getting
in
their
ear,
saying
boy,
you
can
do
this
and
then
I
tell
them
what
it
means
to
become
a
developer
like
this
is
not
as
simple
I
want
to
build
an
additional
build,
a
house
in
that
sense.
So
a
number
of
the
folks
that
go.
You
know
what
I'm
not
built
for
this
and
then
they're
done.
It's
really
the
developer
type
that
are
trying
to
get
around
me
and.
G
B
J
What
the
data
also
is
showing
that
a
number
of
those
homes
at
some
point
may
have
been
foreclosed
on,
and
so,
as
the
chief
was
saying,
that
restriction
went
with
the
owner
right,
so
that
house,
and
so
you
might
have
somebody
on
a
parcel
because
I'm
any
communications
with
a
constituent.
In
that
sense,
she
thought
she
bought
the
entire.
You
know
what
looks
like
one
lot:
there's
actually
a
D
which
the
parcel
on
that
line.
G
G
B
I
B
Very
busy,
there's
I
think
eight
people
we
get
a
hundred,
you
know
calls
per
week.
We
are
did
contract
out
with
a
lot
of
nonprofits
this
year,
which
is
is
going
going
well
so
we
can
refers.
You
know,
households
that
have
specific
needs
to
to.
You
know,
hearth
that
deals
with
homeless
elders
or
you
know
home
start
that
has
a
you
know,
really
good
track
record
on
eviction
prevention.
So
we
now
have
a
you
know
a
whole
stable
of
nonprofits
working
with
us
too.
So
it's
good
and.
I
Thank
you
for
your
amazing
outreach
work,
but
you
mentioned
chief
that
the
landscaping
contracts
and
other
contracts
like
that
we're
going
to
local
and
people
of
color
and
women.
What
percentage
would
you
say,
we're
contracts
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
went
to
those
types
of
businesses,
I.
I
J
I
The
in
the
contracting
world,
one
of
the
issues
that
I've
discovered
as
as
a
challenge
for
some
of
the
smaller
outfits,
is
the
back
office
and
making
sure
that
they're
getting
the
support
in
ta
that
they
need
to
kind
of
you
know:
staff
the
back
office,
which
many
of
the
smaller
ones
don't
and
so
they're
falling
behind
on
their
reporting.
They're
getting
you
know
into
trouble
because
of
that.
So
that's
an
issue,
but
I
do
want
to
shift
because
I
know
the
chair
has
on
its
own
on.
C
I
Councillor
Edwards,
my
district
has
just
overrun
with
projects
that
are
at
this
8
&
9
unit
level
and
my
constituents
are
have
had
it
up
to
here.
It's
just
ridiculous.
The
number
of
so
the
existing
property
may
have
two
units,
a
two
family
house.
They
want
to
tear
that
down
and
then
they
want
to
build
nine
units.
Just
under
you
know
what
would
trigger
the
affordable
unit.
I
would
be
very
much
interested
in
understanding
where
these
eight
and
nine
units
are
all
across
the
city.
I
You
know
by
neighborhood
by
city,
council
district
and
very
much
supportive
of
a
conversation
that
says
how
do
we
get
more
out
of
these
units
to
fund
affordable
housing
so
very
much
supportive
of
that
senior
housing?
Can
you
talk
about
the
city's
efforts
around
senior
housing
and
housing
for
other
populations
like
LGBTQ
community
housing
that
is
friendly
to
that
group?
To
tell
me
where
the
city
is
on
that
and
then.
O
I
A
question
on
just
in
case
my
time
runs
out.
I
think
at
least
put
it
on
the
floor.
I
noticed
here
in
the
capital
part
of
your
budget,
something
with
VHA
and
as
I
visit,
many
of
the
seniors,
some
of
whom
many
of
whom
are
in
senior
in
BHA
housing
that
just
have
a
lot
of
repairs.
That
need
to
be
done,
and
so
is
that
your
so.
B
We're
working
very
closely
with
the
PHA
on
their
portfolio
so
as
as
they've
ideas,
as
they
identify
properties
that
really
they
don't
have
the
resources
for
we're
we're
helping
fund
those
developments
out
of
our
budget.
So
they
have
a
pipeline.
We
work
we
meet
on
it,
weekly
and
and
we're
funding
we're
working
with
the
PHA,
so
they've
identified
4,500
units
at
housing
that
needs
renovation,
yes
and.
I
B
The
the
senior
housing
in
all
of
our
with
the
housing
with
the
mayor's
housing
plan,
we
were
making
great
progress
on
all
of
our
measures.
Senior
housing
was
always
lagging
and
we've
permitted
since
the
start
of
the
plan.
391
400
units,
let's
say
of
low-income
senior
housing,
and
we're
not
satisfied
with
that.
B
So
we've
started
to
put
out
a
lot
of
our
land
parcels
with
the
with
the
at
for
senior
housing,
so
I
just
want
to
so
some
of
the
ones
that
we've
identified
that
we're
moving
forward
is
O'connor
ways
under
construction
in
South,
Boston
to
life,
communities
and
Brighton
just
finished
theirs.
We
put
out
land
in
four
corners
for
hearth
to
do
a
development
41
north
margin
we're
going
to
fund
that
wasn't
our
land
or
building,
but
we
helped
facilitate
a
conversation
with
the
night's
150
River
Street
we
put
that
land
out
for
senior
housing.
B
Grace
apartments
were
funding
in
East
Boston,
and
so
it
goes
I
find
that
we
have
to
be
very,
very
intentional
if
we
want
to
get
a
pipeline
of
senior
housing
I.
Don't
know
why
that
is
it's
easy.
To
cite.
The
need
is
great.
There's
no
problem
with
rent
up
etc
so,
but
it
has
taken
city
intervention
to
get
a
healthy
pipeline.
Counselor.
I
Thank
you
so
much
so,
yes,
intentionality
very
important
to
get
the
desired
result
for
anything.
You
have
to
be
intentional
about
it,
even
though
the
need
is
great,
so
I'm.
Thank
you
for
your
efforts.
There
one
last
question.
Mr.
chair:
if
you'll
indulge
me,
I'm
interested
in
understanding
the
deed,
restricted
housing
throughout
the
city
by
neighborhood
and
by
City,
Council,
District
and
I,
think
for
Roxbury
that
that
percentage
is
what
70
percent
or
is
that
just
the
the
Dudley
Square
area?
It's.
B
It's
it's
much
higher
wheat.
So
in
the
last
year
we
have
catalogued
every
affordable
housing
unit
that
we
had
by
neighborhood.
We
didn't
do
it
by
city,
council
district
might
be
able
to,
but
certainly
by
neighborhood
how
many
units
we
have
there
affordability
levels,
which
is
always
a
great
interest,
I,
want
to
say
Roxbury
was
Bob.
Garrett.
Do
you
know
I
have
table
it's
a
hyper?
It's
a
high
percentage,
I
want
to
say
it's
over
forty
percent
so
to.
I
I
I
think
it's
important
that
we
make
sure
that
we
have
equity
throughout
our
city
and
that
there's
access
to
affordable
housing
throughout
the
city
and
that
it's
not
just
concentrated
in
certain
neighborhoods,
but
that
we
have
it
throughout
so
I'd
be
interested
in
one
understanding
what
the
current
landscape
looks
like
and
then
to
what
the
plans
are
to
get
us
toward
greater
equity.
Thank
very
good
good.
L
I
had
a
couple
more
check-in
questions
in
terms
of
the
rate
of
condo
conversions.
Are
you
seeing
an
increase?
I
know
we
just
put
out
there
to
renew
it
and
I
think
that's
something
we
all
support
is
just
renewing
the
condo
conversion,
ordinance
and
I
didn't
know
if
you
had
seen
an
increase
in
the
amount
of
condo
conversions,
I
didn't.
B
L
So
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
really
excited
about
is
the
use
of
future
funds
from
the
occupancy
tax
to
help
with
housing.
And
so
one
of
the
other
ideas
we
have
proposed
is
a
use
of
other
future
funds.
Tax
revenue
from
luxury
buildings
to
come
online,
to
use
some
of
that
or
dedicate
a
certain
percentage
again
for
housing
preservation.
L
B
Know
we've
looked
at
it
a
great
deal
so
there
the
conversations
are
ongoing.
We
have
been
looking
at
the
proposal,
the
proposal
that
you
put
forward
and
others
looking
at
the
state
bills.
I
must
say
you
know
we
are
still
talking
about
it.
Internally.
Our
priority
has
been
increasing
CPA
at
the
state.
You
know
getting
linkage
and
IDP
situated
and
and
increased
if
we
can,
but
we
are
looking
at
it
still
right.
L
Because
this
this,
unlike
the
state
bills
or
the
other
home
rules
or
the
transfer
fee,
this
is
literally
just
the
city
looking
at
income
to
come
in
and
going
and
with
luxury
buildings
that
are
still
yet
to
be
built
and
permanent
and
then
just
segmenting
a
certain
amount
of
it
and
for
housing.
So
I
think
it
would
actually
be
really
just
a
prioritization.
You
know
in
a
future
budget,
ideally
this
one
but
to
just
simply
say
a
certain
percentage
of
a
luxury
housing
will
permanently
pay
for
affordable,
affordable
housing.
L
B
L
Another
great
announcement
was
the
capital
that
we're
going
to
be
bonding
for
the
as
a
capital
investment
for
the
Bunker
Hill
developments,
30
million
30
million
dollars
so
far
and
I
do
understand
that
that's
really
gonna
be
the
way
in
which
a
lot
of
our,
because
if
we
don't
have
a
federal
partner
right
now,
a
lot
of
our
housing
is
gonna.
Publicize,
intimidate,
develop
that
way.
I've
been
a
proponent
and
I
believe
in
bonding
I.
L
B
L
Our
projects-
first
yeah,
yeah
and
I-
am
cognizant
of
the
fact.
I.
Don't
necessarily
want
a
bond
and
Jim
general
development.
I.
Don't
really
want
private
actors
have
access
to
city
credit
I
do
want
to
look
at
the
public,
our
project,
our
deed,
restricted
projects,
but
I.
Think
BHA
is
a
wonderful
caretaker
of
that.
There
are
only
public
housing
but
I
think
we
should
be
looking
at
other
Jex
as
well,
so
I
hope
and
future
budgets
that
bonding
might
be
part
of
the
conversation
for
DND.
L
Also
we
brought
up
and
I
just
want
to
confirm.
You
said
it
I
believe
in
Roxbury.
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
it
when
it
comes
to
city
land,
we
do
not
sell
or
we
do
for
some
of
the
projects.
I
think
it
Dudley.
We
were
looking
at
projects
where
they're
at
being
development
going
on
city
land,
I,
understood
that
we
had
long-term
leases
that
we
weren't
ultimately
selling
the
land
and
giving
giving
it
to
private
developers
that
we
were
maintaining
ownership.
We.
L
B
Often
than
not
it's
it's,
it
makes
for
less
complicated
development,
although
if
we
think
there
is
a
good
reason
to
have
a
lease
a
long
term
lease
that
people
can,
you
know,
borrow
against.
That's
always
an
option.
There
is
on
the
dudley
parcels.
I
know
it
specially
the
one
from
that.
That's
between
the
right,
the
police
station
in
the
library
we
did
we're
going
to
do
a
long-term
lease,
just
because
it's
in
between
two
city
assets
and
we
thought
better
to
lease
than
to
sell.
A
B
M
B
B
M
You
and
then
also
if
we
could
also
get
the
number
of
affordable
x'
within
that,
because
I
know
that's
one
of
the
more
challenging
pieces.
We
want
to
know
that
they
are
not
just
taking
photos
and
presenting
themselves
as
the
metro,
mayors
and
they've
got
this
aggressive
goal
for
affordable
and
more
units
in
the
region,
but
they're
actually
following
through
with
that
commitment.
I
know
that
we
are
doing
our
we're
doing
a
really
good
job
here
in
Boston
and
I.
M
H
Of
all
the
of
all
the
stuff
I
put
in
this
binder,
the
one
thing
I
forgot
to
include
was
where
we
are
the
stat.
The
status
on
the
vacant
occupied
units
we'll
have
to
get
that
to
you
offline,
but
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
of
activity
going
on
in
this
area.
Right
now,
Sheila
mentioned
I
mean
the
volume
of
projects
that
we
have
affordable.
Housing
is
it's
fantastic,
but
it
is
putting
a
strain
on
our
resources
in
this
area.
H
I
think
I
left
I
looked
there
were
you
know,
56
projects
in
some
stage
of
a
marketing
plan,
review
all
the
way
through
lotteries.
You
know
having
they're
going
through
going
through
with
their
lottery,
so
there's
an
incredible
amount
of
volume,
which
is
great
we're
getting
an
extra
staff
person.
We're
also
will.
H
So
this
is
the
program
assistant
position
that
could
do
more
of
the
support
tests
and
take
the
pressure
off
of
her
so
that
she
can
focus
on
reviewing
plans
and
making
sure
the
plans
are
getting
reviewed
and
compliance.
Submissions
like
applicant,
logs
and
lottery
results
are
getting
reviewed,
timely.
H
M
M
Don't
know
if
we
want
to
talk
in
six
month
period
or
twelve
month
period,
because
we
may
know
both
of
those
numbers
and
what
sort
of
investment
would
we
need
to
really
shrink
the
time
that
an
affordable
unit,
whether
it's
rental
or
an
ownership
opportunity,
is
available
to
be
purchased
or
leased,
but
not
in
the
hands
of
someone
who
is
qualified
through
the
lottery
system
and
I.
Get
that
the
pain
points
or
the
delay
points
are
sometimes
often
with
the
developer,
sometimes
with
the
individuals
sort
of
following
up
once
they
are
selected
in
the
lottery.
M
M
B
There's
this
great
demand
for
artists
live
work
and
artists
work
space
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
have
put
out
a
couple
of
parcels
of
land
to
encourage
once
again
to
be
intentional,
encourage
this
kind
of
development.
We've
got
two
projects
that
are
going
to
start
construction
very
soon
in
on
Terrace
tree
Mission
Hill,
and
we
have
another
much
larger
project
that
we're
doing
on
Condor
Street
in
East
Boston
for
affordable
rental
artists
live
work,
so
it
seems
once
again
that
we're
not
receiving
a
lot
of
projects
to
our
through
our
funding
rounds.
B
People
coming
forward
and
saying
we
want
to
develop
this.
Instead,
it
helps.
If
we
go
out
and
say
we
know,
there's
a
lot
of
artists
in
this
neighborhood
and
we've
heard
that
there
there
needs
to
be
this
kind
of
housing
and
we
put
out
land
to
encourage
it.
So
we
should
be
looking
at
because
these
two
have
sort
of
been.
You
know:
we've
chosen,
developer,
they're
moving
along
and
getting
their
approvals.
We
should
start
thinking
about
the
pipeline
and
what's
next,
thank
you
for
the
reminder.
Let's
go
Thank.
A
M
A
I
B
So
there
you
are
especially
LGBT
friendly
senior
housing,
which
there's
been
some
great
developments
in
other
cities
and
shame
on
us
that
we
haven't
done
one.
Yet.
There
is
great
interest
in
a
site
in
Hyde
Park
and
for
for
this
type
of
development.
There's
a
community
meeting,
May
16th
in
the
upcoming
weeks
and
we're
at
the
high
school
that
the
the
vacant
high
school
there
we're
not
we're
not
moving
until
we
hear
from
the
neighborhood
in
the
community.
B
Although
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
calls
that
people
are
very
supportive
of
that
development
being
being
senior
housing
and
LGBT
LGBTQ
friendly.
So
we
are
in
encouraged
by
that
we're
interested
in
that,
but
we
had
to
hear
from
the
community,
but
we
would
like
to
see
that
model
be
developed
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Can.
I
You
talk
a
little
bit
about
affordable,
homeownership
opportunities
and
I
know.
You
touched
upon
this
in
your
presentation
and
in
some
of
the
responses
to
my
colleagues
but
I'm,
particularly
interested
in
whether
or
not
that
piece
of
the
pie
has
grown
in
the
last
year.
Like
are
more
people
able
to
buy
their
homes
through
through
this
city
or
not
as
it
staying
steady
as
a
decrease.
B
Can
give
you
the
the
numbers
of
where
we
have
affordable
homeownership
and
where
we've
developed,
affordable,
homeownership,
we're
very
interested
in
doing
more
the
construction
cost,
as
I
had
mentioned
earlier,
where
they
slowed
us
down
some
because
it
was
getting
very,
very
expensive
right
now.
If
we
want
to
build
affordable
rental
housing,
we
put
money
in
developers,
go
to
the
state,
they
get
low-income
housing,
tax
credits,
they
take
permanent
debt
and
we're
you
know
it's
not
a
not
insignificant,
but
a
small
piece
of
the
total
funding
pie
with
homeownership.
B
B
Part
of
the
400,
so
when
we
fund
I
think
the
average
subsidy
for
an
affordable
rental
prod
to
unit
when
we
when
we
fund
is
75,000,
so
it
cost
us
a
lot
of
money
to
build,
affordable,
homeownership
opportunities.
We
believe
we
should.
We
believe
that
we
should
be
doing
a
lot
of
this.
We're
encouraging
the
state
right
now
to
help
us
fund
right
now,
they're,
not
interested
in
funding,
affordable,
homeownership,
but
we've
been
meeting
with
them
and
having
a
lots
of
dialogue.
B
We
would
like
them,
because
if
we're
splitting
the
cost
with
the
state,
then
we
can
take
our
money
and
it
goes
much
further
and
I
would
support
that
great
okay,
we
may
be.
We
may
need
to
do
yeah.
So
so
you
know,
they've
been
really
good
partners
and
we
we
know
that.
There's
a
lot
of
affordable,
homeownership
being
proposed
in
the
Dudley
proposals,
all
of
them.
So
I've
already
mentioned
to
the
state
that
we
we
have
these
wonderful
proposals
coming
and
they
are
interested
in
meeting
with
us,
which
is
great.
B
I
I
Okay
and
when
someone
owns
a
house
that
is
deed,
restricted
in
the
city
of
Boston,
how
does
their
what
what
happens
with
their
equity
like?
How
does
that
grow
over
time
because
it
is
restricted?
So
what
can
a
homeowner?
Who
gets
a
do
restricted
house?
What
can
they
anticipate
in
terms
of
being
able
to
build
wealth
over
time?
So.
B
There's
there
most,
the
restrictions
allow
for
either
a
five
percent
appreciation
or
a
three
percent
appreciation
per
year,
depending
on
how
old
the
deed
restriction
is
and,
at
the
same
time,
they're
getting
that
appreciation
they're
paying
down
their
mortgage.
So
when,
when,
when
households
come
to
us
and
they're,
looking
for
maximum
resale
prices,
they're
not
seeing
the
gains
that
people
that
own
market
rate
housing
but
they're
they're
realizing.
B
You
know
tens
of
thousands,
if
not
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars,
sometimes
so
they're
walking
away
with
with
equity
to
either
you
know,
use
to
move
or
buy
their
next
home,
etc.
So
it's
a
good
program
but,
like
I
said
in
the
beginning,
it's
not
for
everyone,
not
everybody
wants
to
buy
a
deed,
restricted
unit.
But
many
do
it's
an
important
piece
of
the.
L
I
Restricted
homeownership
market
rate,
homeownership
coops,
you
name
it
rentals.
It's
all
a
part
of
the
puzzle.
Last
question:
I
promise
I
am
interested
if
the
city
has
a
program
to
help
those
who,
perhaps
but
a
deed,
restricted
house
twenty
years
ago,
but
is
interested
in
getting
into
the
market
and
getting
into
a
you
know
a
market.
I
B
If
there's
not
a
specific
program,
but
they
come
to
us,
they
say
they
want
it.
They
want
to
get
the
maximum
resale
price,
we
give
it
to
them,
and
then
we
start
dialogue
with
what
their,
what
their
plans
are
and
oftentimes
they're
looking
for
advice
around
mortgage
products
etc.
But
they
have
equity
now
that
they
can
actually
go
out
and
purchase
a
market
rate
home,
and
we
see
that
quite
often
right
in.
I
B
A
L
Just
going
I
think
back
to
some
of
the
questions
I
had
on
policy,
so
I'm
very
excited
to
know
that
the
I
think
you
guys
are
working
on
furthering
fair
housing
and
that
I
have
introduced
a
zoning
amendment,
for
example,
and
having
that
directly
incorporated
into
our
zoning
code.
But
I
wanted
to
hear
about
the
work
that
you're
doing
directly,
if
there's
any
any
updates
on
furthering
fair
housing
and
how
that's
being
incorporated
I
think
it's
great
that
didi
and
BHA
have
both
committed
to
that.
L
B
You
for
thank
you
for
reminding
us
that
we
need
to
schedule
a
follow-up
meeting,
although
I
think
this
so
right.
As
you
mentioned,
this
was
a
HUD
requirement
that
that
we
were
excited
about.
It
was
a
bit
daunting
because
the
the
the
format
that
HUD
was
giving
us
was
quite
burdensome
and
then
HUD
decided
that
no
longer
they
no
longer
one
of
these,
this
exercise
they
no
longer
wanted
cities
to
do
do
these
reports.
We
did
agree
with
the
advocates
that
we
would
continue
the
work
and
it's
been
a
very
good
dialogue.
B
I
got
a
credit
Bob
Garrett
anise
in
the
policy
and
research
team.
They've
we've
hired
professor
Jennings
to
help
us
with
this
work,
to
write
the
report
and
to
listen
to
people's
comments,
and
now
we
are
really
going
through
all
of
the
recommendations,
with
a
lot
of
fair
housing
advocates
and
lawyers
to
to
agree
on
what
we
can
do,
what
we
may
not
be
able
to
do
or
white
you
know,
might
sit
someplace
else,
and
so
the
work
is
we
wanted
to
finalize
it
in
April
because
it
was
fair
housing
month.
B
L
That's
for
those
in
layman
terms
and
the
fiscal
year's
end
of
June,
yes,
okay,
so
and
I
think
that's
great,
because
I'm
looking
forward
to
hearing
how
they're
incorporating
that
specifically
and
making
sure
that
we're
going
beyond
just
saying
we
won't
discriminate,
but
how
we're
going
to
promote
integrated
communities,
how
we
are
going
to
remove
obstacles
to
opportunities.
Those
are
also
federal
mandates
as
part
of
furthering
fair
housing.
L
So,
if
you
don't
want
to
have
anything
slip,
45
or
in
the
the
eddy
and
East
Boston
or
whatever
the
buildings
are
and
you're
going
to
do
your
affordable
housing
off-site
under
your
IDP
requirements,
do
we
have
a
match
program?
Are
we
promoting
or
pushing
to
land
trusts
or
groups
of
individuals
to
make
sure
that
they're,
you
know
they're
getting
the
buildings
or
getting
things
built
or
helping
to
purchase
buildings?
Yes,.
B
B
We
aren't
going
to
match,
though
developer
in
East
Boston
to
the
row
houses
unless
it's
within
a
half
mile
or
pretty
close,
because
if
you're
going
to
go
off-site,
the
rule
is
that
we
want
you
to
stay
close
to
the
subject
property
so
that
we
use
half
mile,
sometimes
if
it's
little
over,
we'll
consider
it.
But
we
really
like
developers
to
have
an
obligation
to
keep
it
within
the
general
neighborhood,
but
the
real
houses
are
downtown.
B
L
Since
we're
on
the
topic
of
IDP,
you
know
a
lot
of
the
questions.
People
have
is:
what
is
that
right
balance
and
for
so
many
of
us
and
myself
included
that
13%?
It
seems
too
low
and
while
you
know
I
know,
other
cities
are
at
20%
and
that
might
be
that
might
seem
too
high.
I
just
wanted
to
walk
me
through.
We
13%
of
your
10
units
and
you're
building
on-site
off-site.
It
does
go
up,
doesn't.
K
L
B
As
I
mentioned
that
the
BPD
a
has
hired
land
wise
to
to
stress
the
market
rate
developments,
to
build
a
model
to
look
at
all
the
variables
and
to
see
if
more,
can
be
extracted,
so
they're
building
the
model
right
now,
they're
having
interviews
with
developers
and
nonprofit
developers,
for-profit
developers
and
advocates,
because
some
of
the
advocates
have
been
very
skilled
at
learning
the
variables
and
and
knowing
knowing
the
variables
so
they're
doing.
A
lot
of
interviewing
and
I
I
think
we're
gonna
have
results
soon
and
those
results
are
completely
public
and
very
transparent.
B
B
L
And
and
I
just
wanted
to
again
understand
a
little
bit
more,
why
we
aren't
at
least
even
saying
the
words
minimum
and
ten
dollars
in
a
proposal
that
we
would
send
to
the
State
House.
You
know
why
we're
not
putting
in
some.
You
know,
you
know.
I
certainly
want
way
more
than
I
think
the
administration
is
comfortable
with
that.
L
B
I,
the
logic
was
that
we
would,
you
know,
get
the
approval,
get
the
authority
and,
at
the
same
time,
be
working
with
the
consultant
is
looking
at
linkage
on
how
much
you
can
stress
commercial
buildings.
So
it's
the
same.
It's
the
same
process
that
we're
doing
with
IDP
we're
doing
with
commercial
development
as
well.
How
much
can
developers
contribute
before
commercial
development
which
we
need
in
the
city
is
harmed
so
that,
because
the
nexus
study
very
much
I
read
it,
it
looked
it.
It
looked
very
much
at
need.
B
L
B
K
L
H
L
C
L
Those
who
live
in
it
actually
reflects
the
diversity,
income,
ethnic,
a
Boston,
unlike
what
we
have
now
in
the
Seaport
and
so
I'm
curious.
If
in
that
kind
of
large
scale
building,
would
it
make
sense
to
have
a
different
analysis
for
what
the
IDP
could
be
there
or
should
be
there
right
now,
they're
following
13%,
which
you
know,
anybody
who
builds
ten
units
or
more
is
at
that
13%
and
I.
Don't
know
how
they
exist
in
the
same
planet.
B
So
I
mean
I
haven't
been
intimately
involved
in
in
Suffolk
Downs,
so
I,
you
know,
I
will
defer
defer
to
the
folks
at
the
BPD.
A
I
know
that
we
have
been
talking
to
Phil,
giffy
and
Tom
O'brien
about
the
AOP
program
know
just
to
see
if
there's
more,
that
that
we
can
get
from
Suffolk
Downs
to
certainly
assist
that
program,
but
I
I,
haven't
I,
haven't
been
close
enough
to
the
IDP,
did
conversations
with
Suffolk,
Downs
and
I
apologize
for
that
I
just
I
know
that
they're
ongoing,
but
I
just
haven't
jumped
into
them.
L
L
So
for
us
to
say-
and
they
have
committed
just
to
the
13
percent
I
can't
I-
find
that
an
acceptable
percentage
for
what
they're
going
to
be
building
and
how
much
their
acquisition
costs
or
I
think
155
million
dollars
for
a
hundred
and
sixty
two
acres,
which
you
know
it's
about
155
triple
Decker's.
So
you
know
with
the
projection
of
billions
of
dollars
to
be
made.
There
I
think
the
city
needs
to
be
fighting
for
more
and
also
just
again
and
Suffolk
down.
L
Since
the
public
comment
period
is
ending
on
May
31st
I
was
wondering
if
any
of
the
departments
from
DND
will
be
specifically
assessing
or
talking
about
the
lack
of
homelessness
or
lack
of
I.
Think
there's,
there's
no
shelters,
it
seems
to
be
a
family-size
projected
of
1.58
average
projected
family
size
in
Boston's
a
little
over
to
six.
B
L
Just
think
you
have
unique
lens
from
homelessness
from
home.
Purchasing
from
acquisition
from
destabilization
are
sees
some
stabilization.
Sorry,
sorry
from
stabilizing
communities.
All
of
these
experts
and
the
creativity
that
has
gone
behind
all
of
that
and
now
here
is
literally
build
a
neighborhood
from
the
ground
up.
How
do
you
build
and
prevent
displacement?
How
do
you
do
all
those
things
and
I
think
that
I
would
hope?
Dandy's
experts
could
have
an
opinion
in
that,
so,
just
on
to
your
creativity
and-
and
some
updates,
I
did
have
some
questions
about
the
lead,
I'm.
L
Switching
totally
now
to
just
some
of
your
programs,
the
led
abatement
program
and
how
successful
that's
been,
how
what
areas
are
you
finding
it
to
be
still
very
hard?
I
still
find
tenants,
particularly
folks,
women
with
children
who
are
not
getting
rented
too
and
I.
Think
that
that's
one
of
the
issues
is
because
of
the
lead
requirements.
I
like
them,
I
want
them.
But
how
do
we
get
ahead
of
that
until
landlords
not
to
be
frightened
of
this
house?
Your
advertisement,
advertising
bin?
Have
you
seen
an
increase
in
landlords
accessing
it.
B
We
I
don't
think
we've
seen
an
increase,
in
fact
we're
always
I'm.
Looking
at
Maureen
we're
always
beating
the
bushes
trying
to
get
people
to
participate
in
the
program,
because
we
want
people
to
participate
in
the
program
we
want
owners
to
participate
in
the
program
we
do
get
notified
if
there's
elevated
or
the,
but
the
Health
Commission
gets
notified.
If,
if
there's
elevated
lead
levels
to
me,
that's
we,
you
know
that's
unfortunate.
It
shouldn't
get
to
that
point
right,
and
so
then
we
act
and
we
make
all
of
our
services
available.
B
But
we
we're
always
we
on
every
fair
advertising,
we're
always
trying
to
get
the
word
out
about
our
LED
programs,
neighborhood
meetings,
meetings
with
landlords
nonprofits,
you
know
for
profits,
we're
always
pushing
because
we
want
to
spend
the
money.
So
it's
but
we're
it's
it's.
It's
always
a
lot
of
work
to
get
people
to
partake.
You
know
to
partake
in
the
program,
so
anything
that
counts,
like
the
council
can
do
to
help
us
get
the
word
out.
We
would
be
very
appreciative.
Okay,.
N
N
So
we
had
someone
go
out
and
get
some
feedback
from
landlords
about
why
they
weren't
taking
up
this
program
and
some
articulated
that
they
found
it
a
bit
ominous
that
this
was
being
being
administered
by
the
city
and
that
in
other
cities
it's
been
more
successful
when
administered
by
a
private
partner,
Foundation
or
United
Way
or
some
kind
of
third
party.
So
it's
something
we
might
want
to
look
into
is
finding
a
partner.
N
You
know,
I,
don't
have
all
the
details.
Why
why
landlords
are
kind
of
hesitant
to
engage
with
the
city?
I
also
think
they
found
that
the
this
was
a
little
bit
perverse,
but
they
found
that
we
were
offering
up
to
a
ten
thousand
dollars.
Also
a
bit
ominous
the
like
well
are
the
damages.
Gonna
be
ten
thousand
dollars,
so
I
think
we
have
to
rethink
the
program
a
little
bit
based
on
what
we're
hearing.
Why
why?
N
B
L
Wonderful
I
mean
it's
actually
something
we've
been
referring
folks
to
as
well
and
I.
Think
it's
a
great
service
and
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
another
policy
proposal
that
I
think
is
come
back
or
I
hope
it
was
filed,
was
the
landlord,
the
tax
credit,
and
that
was
for,
if
I
recall
it
was
for.
If
you
kept
your
rents
below
market
rate,
there
was
a
certain
I
think
15
high.
B
Was
a
fifteen
hundred
dollar
credit
state
credit
in
it
and
it
was
we
didn't
file
it
because
it
had
very
little
traction.
However:
counselor
I'm,
sorry,
state,
Rep,
Honan
has
and-
and
so
I
just
learned
this
about
a
week-
go
and
I'm
trying
to
get
IDR
to
set
up
a
meeting
with
hone
and
to
understand
it.
So
he
could
hear
what
our
proposals
are,
but
it
was
actually
I
was
glad
to
hear
that
someone
else
had
sort
of
taken
the
language
and
was
running
with
that.
L
A
B
E
K
Since
we
started
this,
the
DND
budget
for
housing
has
actually
increased
from
roughly
six
million
a
year.
This
is
exclusive
of
grants
to
18
million
year
and
this
year
the
city
is
dedicating
the
new
hotel
tax
revenue
for
a
four
million
dollar:
low-income
rent
subsidy
for
supportive
housing.
That's
exactly
the
right
direction
to
go,
and
the
idea
of
earmarking
new
new
revenues.
K
New
taxation
revenues,
for
that
purpose
is
a
very
important
precedent,
so
that
it's
evolving
in
the
right
direction
and
we
were
very
excited
when
the
when
the
city
got
HUD
to
come
up
with
another
thousand
vouchers.
That
was
fantastic,
some
of
them
it
may
be
enough
to
solve
or
almost
solve
the
13a
crisis.
We're
very
close
with
that.
K
So
that's
it's
all
moving
in
the
right
direction,
and
particularly
councillor
Edwards
initiative
to
go
to
the
Neighborhood
Housing
Trust
and
propose
the
creation
of
a
program
of
Boston
rental
affordability
program,
which
the
trust
could
project-based
subsidies-
housing,
not
just
the
1380
preservation
buildings,
but
also
new
housing,
including
the
you
know,
the
Suffolk
Downs
housing.
You
know
to
be
a
source
of
money
for
low-income
renters.
If
that
program
is
established,
so
getting
a
program
set
up
is
very
important.
It's
not
a
question
is
how
do
you
fund
it?
K
So
would
we
met
with
a
mirror
a
couple
of
times
and
he
challenged
us
to
come
back
with
a
sustainable
funding
source
going
forward,
and
so
we
did.
We
came
back
with
different
options.
The
one
that
we
think
is
has
the
most
promise
is
when
the
councillor
Edwards
brought
up,
which
is
to
look
at
the
new
growth
property
tax
revenue,
not
the
current
budget,
just
the
new
growth
revenues
that
are
coming
from
the
luxury
housing
pipeline,
the
luxury
condos
and
the
luxury
rentals.
K
So
there
are
currently
there's
actually
in
the
mayor's
housing
plan
that
69
thousand
units
actually
includes
about.
7500
of
these
really
super
luxury
units
1,800
have
already
been
built.
Those
were
the
focus
of
the
towering
excess
report
that
these
policy
studies
came
up
with
those
buildings,
those
condos
sold
for
an
average
of
3
million
each
and
they
are
generating.
We
estimate
at
least
57
million
a
year
in
new
property
tax
revenues.
K
There
were
800
of
these
that
came
online
last
year
that
were
master
deeded
last
year.
That
means
they're
reflected
in
the
new
city
budget,
the
one
that
the
mayor
just
filed.
One
of
those
buildings
is
the
Pierce
in
the
Fenway
it's
349
units
the
condos
were
basically
marketed
for
to
Chinese
investors,
who
use
the
FIB
State
Department
to
establish
permanent
residency.
K
The
res
the
rentals
are
$12,000
a
month
for
three-bedroom
Apartments
I,
don't
know
about
you
counselor,
but
I,
don't
buddy
that
can
afford
that,
but
that's
what
they're
charging
so
that
building
will
and
the
other
buildings
will
be
generating
new
revenue.
So
if
you
assume
that
it's
2
million
a
year
not
too
many
year,
2
million
dollars
for
each
unit
that
will
generate
enough
revenue.
K
K
If
50
percent
of
that
amount
was
dedicated
to
low
income,
rent
subsidies
and
a
permit,
it's
permanent,
it's
a
permanent
income
stream
right,
it's
sustainable
and
it
wouldn't
it
wouldn't
eat
up.
All
of
the
new
growth
revenue
it
wouldn't
use
a
portion,
that's
enough
for
approximately
eight
hundred
units,
eight
million
dollars,
eight
eight
hundred
units
in
this
fiscal
year,
the
other
four
thousand
apartments
and
or
condos
that
are
under
construction
in
the
pipeline.
K
So
if
the
city
use
the
mirror
adopted
a
informal
principle
of
50
percent
within
four
years,
that's
enough
money
to
fund
five
thousand
low-income
rent
subsidies
in
tax
credit,
funded
buildings
to
lower
the
rents
to
the
level
that
people
in
the
city
can
can
can
afford
most
renters
that
are
in
need
in
house.
If
housing
are
well
below,
50%
of
the
median
in
Boston
in
Roxbury
is
below
25,000
and
the
mayor's
plan
says
21100
M
Li's
are
not
assisted
between
now
and
2030.
Those
are
the
pin
there
below
25,000
a
year
in
income,
says
21,000.
K
Families
have
not
assisted,
and
if,
if
we
could
at
least
get
a
you
know,
four
or
five
thousand
units
funded
out
of
the
city
budget
will
make
a
will
make
a
dent
in
that.
So
that's
what
we
wanted
to
share
the
new
research
and
encourage
the
city.
We
had
a
meeting
with
Joyce
Linehan
last
week,
but
we
need
your
help
to
get
the
mirror
to
look
at
that,
and
it
would
still
be
plenty
of
new
growth
revenue
for
all
the
other
needs
in
the
budget.
K
We
just
want
the
city
to
look
to
face
up
and
say:
housing
is
a
human
right.
Housing
is
something
that
should
be
a
fundamental
city
commitment,
just
like
police,
fire
and
schools,
and
it
should
be
reflected
in
a
higher
percentage
in
the
city
budget,
a
beyond
18
million
a
year,
let's
get
up
to
50
or
60
minute.
Thank.
