Everyone
we
were
just
making
sure
that
we
were
coordinating
on
YouTube
and
we
will
be
starting
that
soon.
But
it
looks
like
we
have
a
good
amount
of
folks
who
have
we've
just
let
in
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
technical,
we're
all
working
together.
So
there's
a
slight
just
one
more
bit
of
a
delay
but
I'm
omitting
folks
and
we'll
get
started,
probably
in
literally
the
next
minute.
A
C
Alright,

we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
get
started.
I'm
gonna

then
do
a
quick
introduction
and
I

then
I
have
think
that

it
for
the
cat
city
councilors.
C
If
I'm
missing
anyone,
please
say
so
now:
okay,
all
right!
So
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
get
started
good
afternoon.
Everyone,
my
name,
is
a
counselor
Lydia
Edwards
I

of
the
Housing
and
Community
Development.
Committee
I
am
here
today
are

for
today's
hearing
on
several
dockets
I'm,
going
to
first
explain
why
we're
doing
it
via
zoom
and
then
I
will
summarize
those
dockets
and
the
numbers
this
these
matters.
C
All
of
the
matters
were
sponsored
by
Martin
J
Walsh,
our
mayor
there
with
regards
to
funding,
but
in
accordance
with
Governor
Baker's
executive
order,
modifying
certain
requirements
of
the
Open
Meeting
Law
and
relieving
public
bodies
of
certain
requirements.
We
are
able

are
conducting

Also

And
then

We're
discussing
several
matters
and
I
want
to
make
sure
I
got
the
summary
of
them.
C
Normally
I
read
them
in
the
title
of
each
one,
and
I
will
do
my
best
to
just
summarize
we're
discussing

so
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
the
administration.
We
have
Trin
win
from
the
office
of
Workforce.
Development
am
I
correct.
D
C
F
F
My
life's
would
like
to
begin
by
thanking
councillor
Edwards
for
scheduling
this
hearing
expeditiously
for
of
the
orders
before
us
authorized,
DND
on
behalf
of
the
city
to
apply
for,
accept
and
expand
the
federal
fiscal
year.
2020
funding
for
our
HUD
formula
grants
the
federal
fiscal
year.
2020
is
the
city
of
Boston
year
21
fiscal
year
21.
In
addition,
the
remaining
three
orders
before
us
authorize
D&D
on
behalf
of
the
city,
to
apply
for
and
accept
and
expand
HUD
funds
from
the
federal
coroner
virus
aid
relief
and
Economic
Security
Care
Act
was
first
these
important.
C
F
These
important
funds
allow
D
and
D
to
continue
to
carry
out
a
wide
range
of
Housing
and
Community
Development
programs
across
every
neighborhood
of
the
city
of
Austin,
while
also
addressing
some
of
the
urgent
need
is
created
because
of
the
Cova
19
emergency.
I
will
speak
briefly
about
our
annual
allocations
for
the
city's
2021
fiscal
year,
which
begins
on
July
1st,
providing
highlights
from
the
fact
sheets
that
were
given
out
to
the
City
Council
Boston
will
receive
about
twenty
seven
point:
nine
million
dollars
from
Hajj
for
these
annual
allocations.
This
is
about
1
billion.
F
More
than
last
year's
total
of
twenty
six
point:
eight
million
dollars
from
four
sources:
the
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funds,
which
we
increased.
One
point:
seven
percent
increased
funding
over
last
year,
the
home
investment
partnerships
program,
which
has
a
ten
percent
increase
over
last
year's
funding,
the
housing
opportunities
for
persons
with
AIDS
or
HOPWA
funds,
which
increased
six
point
seven
percent
over
last
year
and
the
emergency
solutions
Grants
or
ESG,
which
is
3.1
percent
greater
than
last
year.
F
Esg
specifically
relates
to
helping
people
who
have
experienced
homelessness
or
at
risk
of
homelessness
prior
to
putting
together
our
federal
spending
plan
each
year.
Our
action
plan
I,
must
have
a
public
meeting
be
held
to
gather
input
on
how
best
to
spend
our
federal
resources.
This
meeting
was
held
on
March
11th.
Our
next
step
is
to
issue
a
draft
plan
and
host
a
second
virtual
citywide
public
meeting
to
get
feedback
on
the
draft
plan.
Normally,
we
would
have
provided
this
draft
plan
during
April.
F
Cdbg
funds
also
support
our
economic
development,
public
service
and
property
management
programs,
including
the
mayor's
office
of
workforce
development,
which
will
receive
close
to
2.7
million
for
public
service
activities
and
job
readiness.
Programs.
Trin
Wynn
will
speak
about
these
programs
in
just
a
moment
and
the
office
of
economic
development,
which
will
receive
about
four
million
dollars
to
continue
their
work,
supporting
Main
Street's
districts
and
small
businesses
for
the
hop
off
on
the
city.
F
F
Esg
lessly
will
receive
1.5
million
for
ESG.
This
is
a
slight
increase.
Over
last
year,
approximately
half
of
the
funds
go
to
homelessness
prevention
and
the
other
half
to
street
outreach.
Next
I
will
speak
briefly
about
the
cares.
Act
funding.
The
cares
Act
passed
on
March
27
made
direct
allocations
to
the
City
of
Austin
through
free
grant.
C
F
Connection,
so
it
should
be
better,
but
you
know
I
know
that
the
system
may
not
pick
me
up.
The
cares
like
funding.
The
cares,
like
funding,
made
direct
allocations
for
the
City
of
Austin
through
three
programs:
CDBG
HOPWA
&
ESG,
totally
fifteen
million
nine
hundred
two
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twenty
dollars,
and
these
funds
are
to
be
used
to
prevent,
prepare,
prepare
for
and
respond
to
the
corona
virus
pandemic.
F
The
ten
point:
two
million
dollars
in
CDBG
funds
can
be
used
for
a
range
of
eligible
activities
that
prioritize
the
needs
of
low
and
moderate
income
persons
serving
households
with
incomes
under
80
percent
of
the
Boston
metropolitan
area,
median
family
income
or
in
a
geographic
area
where
at
least
51%
of
a
household
have
incomes.
Under
that
threshold.
We
are
looking
at
focusing
these
funds
on
two
efforts:
the
rental
relief
sod
and
the
small
business
relief
fund
about
53
with
city
fund.
We
are
hoping
to
add
funds
to
these
programs.
F
The
5.2
million
in
emergency
shelter
grant
funds
will
be
spent
on
facilities
and
services
needed
to
support
those
who
have
been
experiencing
homelessness.
During
this
crisis.
Our
service
partners
have
already
expended
thousands
and
perhaps
millions
of
dollars
in
this
effort.
We
will
be
making
these
funds
available
through
an
application
process.
Through
this
process,
we
will
be
able
to
determine
what
needs
can
be
made
full
paid
for
by
other
sources
such
as
FEMA
and
what
will
need
to
be
paid
for
by
ESG.
F
Esd
funding
will
prioritize
enhanced
staffing
for
existing
shelter
operations
and
auxilary
sites
created
in
response
to
cover
19
hazard
and
retention,
pay
for
staff
on
the
front
lines
of
this
crisis.
Cleaning
supplies
in
janitorial,
sir
food
room,
dividers
and
other
apparatus
necessary
to
modify
existing
shelter
spaces
to
better
support
social
distancing,
PPE
for
staffing
clients,
hotel
rooms,
if
needed
as
a
result
of
the
crisis.
That
cannot
be
a
change
in
any
other
way
in
case
management.
Finally,
the
$450,000
in
funding
for
hope
will
be
a
similar
application
process.
F
There
is
a
smaller
pool
of
agencies
involved
in
this
area,
most
of
which
we
already
have
existing
relationships
with,
but
that
will
again
be
mostly
used
to
help
hopeless
is
to
develop
the
system.
Households
remain
in
their
homes
to
support
mental
and
the
other
use
of
these
front
part
of
what
is
being
used
for
USDA
trips
and
helping
to
provide
cleaning
services,
social
distancing,
etc.
I
now
turn
to
a
trend
Wynn
director
of
the
mayor's
office
of
Workforce
Development,
to
speak
briefly
about
her
work.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
D
My
speaking,
references
is
for
docket
number,
o
628
as
it
references
the
Community
Development
Block
Grants
I
want
to
first
thank
chief
Sheila,
Dillon
DoD
and
their
staff
for
their
tremendous
effort
in
supporting
workforce
training
and
education
for
residents
within
the
Community
Development
Block
Grants
I
also
want
to
thank
our
staff
and
their
hard
work
on
managing
these
large
complex
grants.
As
the
city's
workforce
development
agency
owd
manages
a
portion
of
CDBG
funds
on
behalf
of
DMD,
which
receives
CDBG
funds
for
Boston
from
the
federal
government.
D
D
These
programs
allow
us
to
fill
in
the
gaps
left
by
the
state's
Adult
Basic
Education
funding,
and
we
prioritize
programs
that
offer
contextualized
jobs,
specific
ESOL
with
pathways
into
employment
for
low-income
boston
residents
to
continue
the
city's
commitment
to
equitable
economic
development.
Our
grant-making
principles
this
year
were
largely
the
same
as
the
previous
year
requiring
partners
to
build
programs
leading
to
either
employment,
job
training
or
post-secondary
education
and
Economic
Security
for
residents.
D
We
also
supported
programs
that
address
underemployment
incumbent
workers
to
give
them
higher
skills
and
career
opportunity
based
on
these
skills.
Fy
21
is
the
second
year
of
two-year
funding
cycle
limited
to
programs
funded
by
FY
20,
with
refunding
contingent
upon
availability
of
federal
funds,
satisfactory
program,
performance
outcomes
and
responsive
refunding
application.
D
With
the
continued
funding
for
FY
21,
a
refunding
application
document
was
issued
on
March
2
xx,
2020
with
responses
due
Friday
May,
the
1st
histo,
the
vast
majority
of
funded
programs
have
both
performed
well
enough
and
submitted
responsive
refunding
applications
to
be
level
funded
for
a
second
consecutive
year.
Rarely
do
we
have
programs
choose
not
to
reapply
or
fail
to
accept
Li
perform.
Normally,
each
application
is
carefully
reviewed.
Performance
is
evaluated
throughout
the
year
and
other
factors,
such
as
administrative
responsiveness,
are
taking
into
consideration
due
to
the
Cova
19
pandemic.
D
This
year's
refunding
process
is
anything
but
normal.
All
programs
have
been
impacted
completely
shutting
down
to
transition
to
some
kind
of
distance
learning,
telework
or
electronic
service
delivery.
With
welcome
guidance
from
HUD.
We
are
working
with
all
programs
to
ensure
they
receive
all
of
their
FY
2000
Graham.
Will
be
penalized
for
failing
to
meet
performance
goals
negotiated
last
summer
and
we
are
able
to
pay
programs
to
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year
regardless
programs
are
also
allowed
to
amend
their
contracts,
provided
certain
services
specific
to
mitigating
the
impact
of
the
pandemic.
D
It
can
take
phone
conference
with
all
current
awardees
was
held
on
April,
the
20th
2020,
and
a
detailed
Q
&
A
was
prepared
a
copy
of
these
documentation,
along
with
the
refunding
application
and
the
list
of
FY
2008
EES
are
available
upon
request,
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
that
you
may
have.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
your
support.
C
C
You
so
what
I'm
gonna
do
is
actually
I'm
gonna
separate,
because
there's
two
buckets
of
funding
and
I
know
a
lot
of
folks
are
here
are
interested
in
very
likely
in
the
newest
forms.
Under
the
cares
Act,
so
there's,
there's
I
think
we
can
move
relatively
quickly
through
what
I
think
are
the
non-controversial
fundings
that
we
normally
get.
That
would
be
docket
six
to
eight
zero,
six
to
eight
zero,
six,
three
zero
and
zero.
Six
three
two
so
I
want
folks
in
this
quote
in
this
question:
I'm
referring!
This
is
mostly
for
my
colleagues.
C
This
is
not
money
again
that
we
normally
get
further
for
the
city
of
Boston.
These
are
funds
and
I
will
repeat
what
they
are.
I
just
did
the
docket
numbers
and
I'd
like
it,
questioning
from
the
advocates
from
the
City
Council
to
be
about
this
regular
funds
first,
and
then
we
will
go
to
the
coab.
It
I
mean
again
the
the
numbers
are
six
to
eight,
which
is
about
seventeen
million
dollars.
That's
for
a
CDBG
grant.
That
is
what
trend
win
is
going
to
be
speaking
about
specifically
the
money
going
to
office
of
Workforce
Development.
C
That
is
a
docket
number,
six
three
zero.
That
is
for
excuse
me,
yep.
Yes,
that
is
four
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
guys,
but
that
is
four
five
million
dollars
in
the
form
of
a
grant
for
the
home
investment
partnerships,
that'll
go
to
DND
and
then
docket
number,
six,
three
two,
which
is
three
million
dollars
for
housing
for
persons
with
AIDS,
did
I
get
all
of
those
specific,
regular
money
coming
into
the
city.
There.
F
C
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair
yeah,
and
thank
you
thank
you
all
for
being
before
us
today.
Obviously,
I
think
this
is
really
important
money
for
the
city
on
all
fronts
and
has
been
so.
As
the
chair
said
for
many
years,
I
guess
my
questions
both
to
the
on
the
owd
and
and
the
D&D
side
would
just
be
seemed
from
well
on
the
DMV
side.
Tim
is
certainly
seen
from
your
presentation,
like
we're
mostly
expecting
this
to
kind
of
go
in
the
same
directions.
G
It
has
traditionally
gone
in,
but
just
wondering
when
you
spoke
to
sort
of
what
the
percent
increases
were
over
last
year.
How
much
of
how
much
of
the
sort
of
additional
money
is
just
gonna
go
to
kind
of
normal
cost
inflation's
or
is
there
any?
Is
there
any
new
money
in
this
regular
money
for
us
to
do
something
different
or
expand?
Something
with.
H
To
answer
it
sure
yeah
councillors,
again
Rick
Wilson
I'm,
the
Deputy
Director
for
administration
and
finance
at
DMD
on
the
cdbg
side,
it's
a
pretty
small
increased
at
1.7
percent
is
about
you
know
$200,000,
and
we
do
funds.
You
know
staff
out
of
our
city,
gb
grants
and
obviously
staff
costs
go
up
every
year,
so
it
I
really
feel
like
too
much
of
an
increase
kind
of
going.
It's
essentially
level
funding,
OECD,
VG,
side,
I.
Think
the
one
notable
increases
in
the
home
partnership
home
investment
partnership
program.
H
We
use
that
funding
to
support
the
development
of
affordable
housing.
So
it
is
nice
to
get
that
additional
funding
that
we
can
fund
more
projects,
more
affordable
housing
projects
in
the
coming
years.
So
that's
I
think.
That's
probably
the
only
thing
that's
worth
noting.
As
far
as
the
increased
funding
goes.
G
D
So
this
year,
as
a
Strickland's
mentioned,
we
are
level
funded
for
last
year,
usually
when
we
have
our
Community
Development,
green
RFP
for
workforce
and
education
and
Adult
Basic
Education,
it's
a
two-year
funding.
We
do
that
so
that,
because
it's
a
minute
illustrative
meet
burdensome
for
a
lot
of
grantees.
We
tried
to
make
it
a
two-year
grant
contingent
upon
eligibility
staff
outcomes
and
performance
that
were
agreed
to
and
upon
funding.
So
this
is
the
second
year
of
the
two-year
commitment.
You
know
what
we're
doing
is
you
know
we
funding
at
level
funding
the
programs.
G
That
would
be
great
to
get
just
because
I
think
obviously,
and
I
won't
go
in
this
direction
because
I
know
the
chair
wants
us
to
have
the
Kovach
conversations
in
the
next
round,
but
I
think
obviously
with
Workforce
Development
I
mean
the
question
of
how
we're
gonna
support,
even
our
ongoing
funding
program
to
totally
reposition
what
they're
doing
seems
like
a
big
open.
Yes,
yeah.
D
D
That's
a
great
question
councilor
and
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
so
first
in
terms
of
standardized
metrics
for
ESOL,
one
which
you're
referring
to
actually
the
State
Department
of
elementary
secondary
education
called
SC.
They
fund
a
chunk
of
that
in
Boston
for
ESL
one.
What
you
might
be
referring
to
is
prior
to
the
D
to
the
deci
standard
ESL
one,
whether
or
not
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
funding
for
it
and,
unfortunately,
there's
also
a
lot
of
needs.
D
So
what
we
did
was
set
aside,
$400,000
for
from
the
Community
Development
Block
Grant
to
fund
that
gap
that
the
state
has
not
funded,
and
we
also
took
funding
from
unrestricted
funds
from
the
city
and
from
our
office
to
fund
that
clearly,
there
is
a
need
to
do
more
and
we'd
love
to
do
more.
If
we
had
additional
resources
very.
A
C
J
Thank
You
counsel,
Edwards
I,
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
dedicated
city
employees
that
are
here
with
us
today
via
work
on
not
only
on
these
grants
but
working
hard
every
day
advocating
for
residents
in
need,
so
I
have
no
questions.
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
all
the
city.
Employees
thank.
C
You
very
much
councillor,
Flynn
and
I
will
just
echo
your
thanks
and
gratitude.
We
understand
many
cases.
You
have
a
lot
on
your
plates
right
now,
but
to
acknowledge
what
a
timid
said
earlier.
That
was
the
point
of
getting
all
this
done
in
one
hearing
as
soon
as
possible.
Normally
these
grants
are
spread
out
throughout
the
year,
but
we
we
figured.
The
best
thing
we
could
do
is
talk
about
the
resources
to
getting
them
to
your
departments
as
soon
as
possible.
Councillor
clarity,
Thank.
E
You
managers
want
the
opportunity
to
to
think
of
as
the
administration
officials
Tim
Davis
trim
in
in
Rick
before
from
being
on
the
call
this
afternoon
and
go
on
record
as
supporting
all
seven
dockets.
I
know
we're
sort
of
taking
some
now
and
later.
I
gotta
jump
on
a
2:45
whole
community
health,
centers,
so
I
believe
miss.
E
If
I
didn't
talk
about
the
great
work
that
that
comes
as
a
result
of
C
D,
CDBG
I
challenge
anyone
to
say
those
four
fast,
but
our
CDBG
funds
are
critical
for
our
city
and
I've
always
been
a
proud
supporter,
as
a
member
of
the
council
supporting
them.
So
just
a
quick
number
of
run,
I
think
where
there's
about
48
million
dollars
of
very
much
needed
funds
that
and
they
shot
the
arm,
given
that
we're
dealing
with
Kovan
19
response,
but
for
rental
assistance
for
our
homeless
for
those
living
with
AIDS
etc.
E
So
you
guys
do
it
probably
better
than
anybody.
Tim
I
know
go
back
a
lot
of
years
and
you've
been
on
the
frontlines
of
all
this
stuff
so
happy
to
be
a
proud
supporter,
happy
to
support
the
chairs
committee
report
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
working
together
as
we
deal
with
all
these
issues
in
the
the
after-effects
of
Cova
19,
when
we
can
finally
look
in
the
rearview
mirror
added.
B
E
The
impacts
around
housing
in
homelessness
and
rental
assistance
are
going
to
continue
to
to
the
issues
that
we're
going
to
be
dealing
with
together
as
a
city
for
many
months
and
years
to
come.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
attention,
unfortunately,
going
to
jump
off,
but
I
want
to
go
on
record
of
supporting
the.
C
You
counsel,
clarity,
so
just
to
let
some
folks
know
in
terms
of
it
just
the
technical
note,
I
understood
it.
We
are
trying
to
have
folks
kind
of
tell
us
who
they
are
when
they
come
in
and
are
admitted
into
the
waiting
room.
So
if
you,
if
we
really
are
asking
you
to
put
your
name
or
at
least
extend
something
that
we
could
identify,
who
you
are,
and
so
if
we
don't
get
that
some
folks
are
not
being
admitted
because
we're
not
really
sure
who
they
are,
but
everyone
can
see
this
publicly.
C
This
is
not
we're
not
in
terms
of
denying
access
to
see
what
we're
doing
and
denying
access
to
the
conversation.
Everyone
can
still
submit
public
comments
and
concerns,
but
in
terms
of
admitted
into
the
zoom,
that's
what
I
wanted
to
say.
I
know
that
there's
one
person
in
the
in
the
waiting
room
we're
just
asking
I
think
for
that
person
stay
where
they
are
to
be
in
the
zoom,
but
they
can
absolutely
participate
and
submit
any
comments.
C
Call
tour
offices
and
see
what's
going
on
so
now
we're
going
to
go
to
the
I,
didn't
have
any
questions.
Personally,
as
a
chair
or
for
that
for
those
for
those
funding
grant,
so
now
we're
going
to
go
to
three
dockets
zero
to
nine
one
CDBG
funds
or
approximately
ten
million
dollars
for
covert
response.
C
Esd
grants
actually
know
them
by
the
the
letters
women
and
that
the
formal
name
that
grant
is
for
approximately
five
million
dollars
again
for
coping
response
and
then
0
6,
3
5,
which
is
an
additional
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
housing
people
with
AIDS
again
in
the
Cova
crisis.
As
spoken
very
briefly,
before
bye,
bye,
Tim
entran,
the
CDBG
turned
out.
C
Ten
million
dollars
is
looking
to
go
towards
the
red
relief
and
small
biz
relief
funds
that
we
have,
and
you
can
again
add
in
or
correct
me
if
I'm
being
incorrect
or
need
to
add
some
more
substance.
The
ESG
funds
are
looking
at
the
homelessness
response
and
that
would
be
for
I
assume
folks
to
apply
for
that
funding
who
are
already
in
the
service
of
sheltering
homeless
individuals,
and
they
will
also
be
vetted
for
other
funds
that
they
may
be
able
to
get.
C
They
probably
can't
get
both
FEMA
and
this
money
and
then
finally,
the
hoprah,
which
is
again
an
application
process
for
nonprofits
or
servicing
agencies
that
are
already
doing
this
work,
who
will
apply
for
the
additional
funding
did
I
summarize
it
essentially
what
we're
talking
about
correctly
thumbs
up
from
the
administration.
Okay,
it's
Jeff
stone
with
us,
or
did
she
have
to
go.
C
Excellent,
alright,
then
so
I'm
gonna
reserve
my
questions
for
any
anything
afterwards,
but
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
get
an
order.
Arrival
I,
don't
believe.
I
have
any
additional
city
councilors
joining
us
today
and
if
I
do
I
apologize,
I
have
not.
If
I'm
not
recognized,
you
I,
don't
see
so
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
start
with
councillor
Bach.
F
F
That
that's
the
major
bucket
at
this
point
in
terms
of
housing,
would
begin
to
the
rental
release
on.
We
are
monitoring
and
working
with
our
partners
in
other
cities
to
see
what
they
are
thinking
about
doing
with
these
funds
as
well.
We
are
also
watching
to
see
what
happens
in
Washington.
There
is
some
discussion
that
an
additional
cupboard
really
fill,
maybe
in
the
works
that
will
include
some
direct
rental
relief
on
and
we're
also
working
with
the
state.
F
So
we're
not
putting
a
dollar
amount
on
it
today,
just
because
we
want
to
kind
of
get
a
sense
of
what
other
resources
are
going
to
be
out
there.
It's
clear
that
the
resource
is
needed,
because
in
the
first
round
of
the
lottery
we
had
approximately
5,500
applicants
who
got
pets
who
were
Boston
residents
who
applied
and
so
we'll
be
looking
at,
will
certainly
be
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
support
more.
F
G
We
still
don't
have
the
data
on,
because,
obviously
the
5500
that's
a
pretty
rough
cut,
because
it's
just
everybody
who
had
a
Boston
address
right.
We
still
don't
have
I
know
the
council
is
expecting
at
some
point
to
hear
kind
of
you
know
once
you
applied
the
income
screen
like
question.
What's
your
nonprofit
partners
did
right?
How
many
is
to
me
it
matters
a
lot
to
understand.
Are
we
serving
say
it
stays
at
700?
Are
we
serving
700
out
of
3000
people
who
would
have
qualified
for
the
parameters
that
DND
drew?
G
F
C
You
answer
yeah
very
quickly
and
just
for
the
edge
Akali.
We
are
having
a
working
session
specifically
on
the
rental
relief
program,
so
I
am
happy
to
have
him
answer
these
questions
and
we'll
go
through
it
into
another
conversation
but
I
for
folks
who
are
you
know,
hearing
these
and
getting
more
questions
about
the
rental
relief,
specifically
in
its
administration,
which
we
do
have
a
lot
of
questions
about.
I
wanted
people
to
know.
There
will
be
a
working
session
on
that
all
fair
questions.
Council,
Bach
I
just
want
to
more
people,
go
ahead.
Captain.
F
Thank
You,
counselor,
Edwards
and
yes,
we'll
be
happy
to
be
there
for
may.
The
fourth
we
will
hopefully
by
may
the
fourth
will
start
to
have
some
of
those
numbers.
It
is
dependent
upon
the
agencies
actually
being
able
to
process
applications
and
start
to
give
us
at
least
a
hint
of
you
know
they
had
the
first
hundred
applications.
There
were
ten
percent
weren't
eligible.
You
know
those
kinds
of
things
going
forward
and
also
it
will
help
us
to
know
how
much
how
many
households
we'll
be
able
to
serve
based
on
some
of
that.
D
Think
we're
still
in
conversationally
about
you
know,
given
the
huge
between
housing
and
small
businesses
we're
still
in
inter,
but
we're
still
having
a
conversation
on
the
employment
piece.
Clearly,
the
the
labor
market
will
shift
huge
job
losses.
We
don't
know
what's
coming
back
if
they
are
and
skills
will
be
needed
and
some
won't.
So
that's
still
being
worked
out.
But
as
soon
as
we
find
some
we
come
to
concrete
strategies.
We
will
definitely
circle
back
and
letting.
G
Alright
yeah
well,
we've
none
of
us
quite
know
exactly
what
I
mean
there's
some
right.
You
have
some
sense
that
certainly
just
training
people
up
on
virtual
things
would
be
useful
at
this
juncture.
You
know,
as
we've
all
learned
on
the
council
to
you.
Zoom
in
the
last
few
weeks,
really
appreciate
your
work
and
those
are
all
my
questions.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank.
G
I
Genie,
thank
you
so
much,
madam
chair.
Thank
you
for
running
a
really
tight
I
think
my
questions
were
answered
from
the
previous
speaker
and
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
administration.
I,
certainly
fully
support
these
grants
and
I
think
it's
important
to
move
it
quickly,
so
that
we
can
help
those
and
most
need.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thank.
J
J
J
Some
of
the
paperwork
is
not
there
right
now,
as
a
lot
of
these
restaurants
are
closed,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
also
understand
the
the
Asian
community
making
sure
that
they're
part
of
this
process
as
it
relates
to
job
training
as
it
relates
to
workforce
development,
but
also
paying
paying
bills
as
well.
So
what
are
we
doing
for
for
hard-to-reach
residents
of
our
city,
such
as
the
Chinese
community,
that
might
work
in
restaurants
that
may
it
may
not
be
documented?
F
So
the
rental
Relief
Fund
is
intended
to
help
people
who
may
be
undocumented
or
working
jobs
where
it's
mostly
a
cash
business.
Even
if
they're
you
know
regular
citizens
so
those
so
those
funds
are
meant
to
help
those
households
I
think
that
we
will
have
discussions
as
part
of
the
May
4th
working
session
on
what
can
be
submitted,
that
we
can
better
reach.
Those
communities
may
not
get
information
as
easily.
D
Thank
you
and
I
think
that's
a
great
point.
Counselor
and
I'm
glad
you
raised
it.
We
have
been
working
diligently
to
not
only
level
fund
the
agencies
that
that
are
great
partners
that
have
direct
connections
to
the
constituents
that
you're
talking
about,
but
we
also
have
been
working
with
the
Boston
resilient
fund
to
try
to
get
some
of
those
dollars
out
to
non-traditional
funding
agencies
and
making
sure
that
those
who
were
laid
off
immediately
and/or
have
unconventional
job
pathways
to
get
them
to
work
right
away.
D
We're
also
working
with
SEIU,
1199
and
best
corn,
local
26
training
fund
to
see
what
we
can
leverage
a
match
so
that
those
who
are
out
of
work
and
staying
home.
We
are
providing
free,
Chromebooks
and
also
extra
certifications
online
so
that,
while
they're
staying
home
and
out
of
work,
they
can
get
additional
training
so
that
once
we
bounce
back,
they
can
apply
for
the
jobs
that
they
lost
now.
Clearly,
our
job.
D
Our
focus
right
now
is
reemployment
we're
really
keeping
an
eye
on
the
labor
market
trends,
huge
job
loss,
that's
what's
coming
back
and
what's
not,
and
the
key
is
to
get
Boston
residents
jobs
as
soon
as
we
come
back.
So
we're
trying
hard
to
look
at
different,
flexible
funds
working
with
private
funders
and
corporate
foundations,
to
see
what
they
can
fund
that
they
don't
usually
fund.
So
we're
definitely
on
it
and
thank
you
for
bringing
it
up.
Thank.
J
You
Tran
and
thank
you
Tim
and
you
are
right.
Trendy,
the
local
26,
their
job
training
program
is
excellent.
I've
seen
it
I've
seen
the
work
they
do.
It's
made
up
of
a
lot
of
immigrants,
communities
of
color,
a
lot
of
women.
They
do
an
outstanding
job,
they
work
hard
and
that's
what
our
city
is
all
about.
Is
that
work
work
out
that
that
local
26
and
our
immigrant
residents
bring
to
this
city.
No
one
gives
them
anything,
but
they
really
they
really
work
hard
and
represent
our
city
very
well.
J
C
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilor
fun,
I
just
had
some
a
brief
statement
and
some
quick
questions
just
for
in
terms
of
and
following
up
on
councillor
Flynn's
comments
about
the
immigrant
community.
I
wanted
to
let
folks
and
advocates
know,
and
especially
those
from
Maha
and
direct
response
to
the
requests
and
concerns
about
immigrants
being
intimidated
by
their
landlords
that
we
had
discussed.
C
To
make
sure
again,
that's
reiterated
to
anyone
who
applies
that
they
should
not
feel
intimidated,
especially
if
they
haven't
paid
rent
to
feel
that
they
have
to
go
anywhere.
So
we
we
are
we're
starting
with
the
mayor,
and
we
will
continue
to
amplify
and
reverberate
that
message
to
the
to
the
community.
One
for
landlords
watch
yourselves,
that's
disgusting,
that
you
would
ever
think
to
do
that
to
somebody
and
to
to
the
tenants.
You
have
your
rights
and
we
are
we're
here
for
you.
So
I
wanted
to
address
that
concern.
C
Your
bureaucracy,
in
terms
of
it
I,
don't
know,
know
I've
seen
the
forms
that
Rick
has
to
fill
out
and
I've
been
at
the
meetings
and
it's
so
hopefully
this
comes
with
less
of
those
strings
attached,
but
I
am
curious
and
I.
You
know
at
some
point
we'll
get
to
the
numbers
for
how
the
ten
million
dollars
for
the
CDBG
will
be
broken
up
for
the
rental
relief
versus
the
small
business.
C
C
Is
there
an
estimate
Trin
on
your
part
of
how
much
of
this
ten
million
will
come
to
the
small
business
relief
fund?
Certainly
even
five
million
dollars
would
be
double
triple.
What
we
got
for
the
initial
funding
for
small
businesses,
I'm
really
curious
about
that
breakdown
because
I,
you
know,
I'm
looking
and
I
think
we
all
are
look.
You
have
I've
been
with
es
cpa
funds
and
people.
So
this
kind
of
thing
is
a
relief
for
us,
but
also
you
know
helping
us
to
understand
how
this
is
going
to
be
generated.
C
The
if
you,
if
Rick
or
Tim,
can
walk
us
through
when
you
say
applications
will
be
made
available
right
who
typically
see
well,
you
know
what
happens
when
you
make
applications
available
right.
Anybody
and
everybody
sent
tends
to
apply
so
I.
Think
I
understood
what
you
meant
by
who
is
going
to
be
applying
for
these
applications
for
the
funds
for
Hope
Roth
and
for
the
ESG
funds.
C
It
is
not
an
open
to
the
public
kind
of
application,
as
my
understanding
I
think,
we
should
clarify
that,
and
also
you're
normally
there's
a
time
and
there's
what
is
how
the
timeline
timeline
faster
for
those
grant
applications.
How
are
we
moving
it
faster
to
get
that
extra
funding
out?
So
that
seems
like
a
lot
but
I'm.
You
know
whoever
wants
to
go
ahead
and
need
an
answer,
feel
free
and
then
we're
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
advocates
for
them
to
ask
some
questions.
C
H
F
H
Is
going
to
do
that,
given
the
breadth
of
the
crisis,
so
we
really
want
to
be
thoughtful
about
how
we
move
forward
and
that's
and
that's
our
plan
we
and
you're
right
that
these
three
buckets,
CDBG,
HOPWA
and
ESG
are
as
you
as
we
just
discussed
in
the
previous
round.
These
are
grants
that
we
get
every
year.
H
The
cares
Act
made
additional
funding
specific
to
address
kovat
19
response
from
those
buckets,
so
they
come
with
some
of
the
same
rules
around
income,
eligibility
and
eligible
uses,
but
they
granted
more
flexibility
in
terms
of
shifting
funding
around
so
typically,
once
you
kind
of
put
a
plan
out
there
and
it's
approved
by
HUD,
you
would
need
to
any
changes
that
you
would
want
to
make.
You
would
have
to
do
a
30-day
public
comment
period.
H
That's
been
reduced
to
five
days
in
most
cases,
so
that
makes
it
a
lot
easier
for
us
once
we
kind
of
established
a
spending
plan
to
shift
it
if
necessary,
Timm
Timm
kind
of
mentioned
on
the
CDBG
side
that
we
don't
have
at
this
point.
We
can't
tell
you
how
much
we're
putting
in
too
rapidly
for
small
business
or
Workforce
Development
or
any
other
use
I.
H
Think
that's
our
job
for
the
in
the
coming
days,
and
in
again
talking
with
you
about
the
rent
relief
fund
in
the
working
session
figuring
out
what
the
right
balances
between
all
of
those
different
needs,
because
the
needs
are
great
and
ten
million
dollars
is
not.
You
know
not
gonna
solve
the
need,
so
we
want
to
be
really
thoughtful
about
that.
We
should
also
just
people
know
that
this
is.
This
is
the
first
allocation
of
this
funding.
H
There
will
be
more
funding
to
come
from
the
cares,
Act
based
on
formulas
that
have
yet
to
be
determined
by
HUD.
So
and
we
don't
know
what
the
timing
of
that
funding
is
or
the
exact
amounts,
but
as
we
as
we
right
now,
we're
still
in
kind
of
a
response
mode
but
and
then
we'll
be
moving
to
a
recovery
mode
right
and
so
I
think
some
of
those
funds,
as
we
go
forward,
could
be
shifting
kind
of
focus
a
little
bit.
Try
to
think
about
that
cover
everything.
Everything
dad.
F
I'll
cover
that
part
I'm
also
want
to
say
that,
in
terms
of
the
CDBG
funding,
when
we
do
kind
of
determine
how
much
will
go
into
each
bucket,
we
would
have
to
do
a
public
process.
For
that
we
would
have
to
have
a
substantial
amendment
published.
We
would
be
sending
out
information
about
that
to
the
council
and
also
our
usual
network
of
agencies
and
advocates
and
have
a
time
for
comment
on
that
package,
so
that
would
be
that
will
be
forthcoming
in
terms
of
the
applications
that
were
mentioned.
Yes,
the
four
ESG
and
four
HOPWA.
F
Those
are
applications
that
would
be
for
agencies
to
apply
for
who
were
already
working
either
in
the
homelessness
field
or
in
the
housing
with
persons
of
AIDS
field.
Now,
there's
some
agencies
that
are
in
the
homelessness
field
that
are
supported
by
the
state
and
we
don't
have
a
current
relationship
with
them
financially,
but
that
we
might
be
funny
that
we
weren't
funding
before
so.
There
might
be
some
new
agencies
that
we
would
be
funding,
but
they
will
not
be
new
to
this
area.
Work.
C
Okay,
so
there
are
smaller
nonprofits
if,
for
example,
they
said
we're
now,
we've
adjusted
our
worker
organizing
to
housing
organizing
for
the
first
time.
That
agency
very
likely
would
not
be
part
of
the
pipeline
when
looking
at
agencies
that
have
had
to
adjust
their
their
missions
or
change.
What
they're
doing.
F
Right
I
mean
the
the
ESC
money
is
really
going
to
be
focused
on
homelessness
and
really
the
a
lot
of
the
cost
that
agencies
have
already
come
under
fire
for
paying,
for
you
know,
cleaning
services
and
extra
pay,
and
we
expect
that
the
BCE
see
won't.
We
won't
have
to
pay
out
this
funds,
but
there
may
be
in
other
kind
of
hotel
rooms
to
help
people
socially
distance
and
to
densify
both
shelters
and
other
congregate.
Housing
I
mean
those
are
all
things
that
we
think
will
be
the
priority
for
this.
C
C
And/Or
I'm
gonna
keep
screen
scrolling
through
the
pictures.
If
you
want
to
make
yourself
available
and
wait,
I
can
also
see
you
that
way.
If
you
don't
know
how
to
raise
your
hand
on
the
application
I
see
from
maja
C
organising
team
from
yes
or
maja,
so
we'll
have
yeah
just
keep
waving
your
hand
physically
on
the
camera.
So
we
can
unmute
you,
okay,
all
right,
you're
good
to
go.
I.
C
B
We
also
and
I
think
that
also
can
help
on
some
of
the
rental
side,
because
if
the
landlord
is
under
less
pressure,
it
doesn't
with
a
lot
of
landlords
that
doesn't
matter,
but
with
some
landlords
it
really
wouldn't
matter
to
leave
some
pressure
on
the
tenant,
at
least
while
they're
waiting
for
unemployment
to
kick
in
and
thereby
relieve
some
of
the
stress
on
the
rental
Relief
Fund.
So
you
know
obviously
we're
in
support
of
all
of
this.
B
We
want
to
make
sure
that
the
renter
relief
fund
is
really
focused
on
those
folks
who
are
not
eligible
for
other
income
supports
because
in
general
you
know
we're
the
homeownership.
People
were
the
equity
people.
We
really
don't
want
to
see
an
additional
dime
go
into
landlords
pockets,
who
will
just
run
away
with
the
equity
from
public
money,
the
rental
relief
fund
right
now
we
know
as
an
emergency,
and
we
got
to
do
it.
B
But
we'd
really
like
to
see
you
know.
Even
on
the
rental
side,
the
acquisition
opportunity
program
at
least
you're,
giving
it
to
a
landlord
that's
committed
to
long
term
affordability,
so
we'll
be
engaged
in
the
working
group.
Where
that's
fantastic,
it's
been
scheduled
want
to
thank
everybody
here,
both
on
the
administration
side
and
the
council
side.
You
guys
are
doing
fantastic
work.
C
F
Just
a
very
quick
thank
you
for
having
again
for
having
this
hearing
and
such
expediency.
It
really
helps
us
to
be
able
to
move
forward.
Yes,
we
do
need
to
provide
additional
information
on
how
the
cdbg
funds
will
be
spent,
but
it
means
that
once
that
we
do
have
that
plan
in
place,
we
can
move
to
the
spending
part
of
that
process
much
more
quickly.
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
having
this
hearing
today.
I.
C
Want
to
thank
you
for
making
yourselves
available
to
answer
these
questions.
We
all
have
the
sense
of
urgency.
On
that
note,
the
hearing
on
be
patient
with
me:
dockets
zero.
Two,
eight
zero:
two:

I
think
I

all
is
officially

have
a
good
day.
Okay,.
