this

in
December

and
we

189,000,

The

of
banks
this
year
awarded
1.5
million
dollars
for
first-time
homebuyer
counseling
and
foreclosure
prevention
services
across
the
state.
This
is
the
11th
year
the
DND
has
been
awarded
this
grant.
C
The
grant
covers
the
calendar
year.
2018,
D
and
E
will
use
these
grant
funds
for
technical
assistance
for
Dedes
nonprofit,
foreclosure
prevention
counselors.
We
have
five
agencies
throughout
the
city
of
Boston
who
are
contracted
to
provide
free
and
confidential
foreclosure
prevention
counseling
to
Boston
homeowners.
Our
nonprofit
partners
are
chosen
through
a
competitively
advertised
request
for
proposal
process.
Our
current
partners
are
urban
edge
and
Western
Community
Development
Corporation
ABCD,
using
the
family,
Mattapan
Family,
Services,
Codman
square
n,
DC
and
ecumenical
social
action
committee
East
sac.
C
We
will
also
use
these
funds
to
expand
marketing
efforts
so
that
we're
able
to
reach
more
boston
homeowners,
as
well
as
for
technical
staff,
training
for
technical
training
for
our
stuff.
These
additional
funds
are
going
to
allow
us
to
increase
one
of
our
components:
home
preservation,
services
for
Boston
homeowners.
This
is
a
component
we
added
in
2017.
It
allows
us
to
help
people
who
are
struggling
with
with
their
housing
payments,
but
not
necessarily
because
of
their
mortgage
issues,
so
we
can
provide
more
in-depth
counseling
to
those
homeowners
DND.
C
C
We
have
assisted
this
year,
200
people
as
a
positive
resolution,
which
we
identify
as
a
loan
modification
refinance
a
sale
of
a
property
litigation
or
bankruptcy.
Most
of
our
homeowners
receive
modification
72%
this
year
has
D
and
E's
foreclosure
and
prevention
services
are
key
to
providing
homeowners
with
the
assistance
needed
to
address
these
issues
earlier
in
the
process.
The
people
who
come
to
us
for
the
most
part
are
coming
to
us
when
they
are
at
delinquent
or
at
risk.
C
That's
about
71%
of
our
clientele.
Only
about
29%
of
those
that
we
serve
have
already
been
petitioned.
It's
very
important
that
we
reach
them
earlier
in
the
process,
so
we
were
better
able
to
serve
their
needs
and
help
them
get
out
of
their
situations.
This
money
will
help
us
expand
that
outreach
and
hopefully
reach
people
earlier
in
the
process.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

A

was
issued
on

The

26
2018
and
the
boston

On

26
and
march
5th
of

H
One
proposal
replied
based
on
our
review
of
the
eligible
application
eligible

evaluation
criteria.
We
recommend

role.
Signing
off
I
have
provided
a
couple
of
handouts
that
show
the
location
and
current
condition
of
the
parcel,
as
well
as
mr.
sannyasa
button
properties.
H
The
assessed
value
is
a
hundred
and
twenty
six
thousand
hundred
the
appraised
value
is
eighty-seven
thousand
dollars,
and
mr
sannyasa
intention
is
to
leave
it,
as
is.
Lastly,
if
PFC
approves
the
vote
request,
it
will
result
in

I
didn't
show
you
the
the
next
slide,
which
shows
the
current
condition
of
the
the
parcel
and
then
I
marked
off
what
he
owns.
So
the
parcel
that
we
have
is
right
here
between
both
of
his
current
properties.
H
Lastly,
if
PFC
approves
the
vote
request
that

result
in
the
following
public
benefits:
revenue
to
the
city
with
the
sale
price
of
87,000
returned

the

returned
the

to
tax
rolls
with
an
estimated
$1,000
a
year
in
property,
tax
revenue
and
continued
outdoor
use
for
the
abutters.
If
the
Commission
has
any
questions,
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
them
at
this
time.
I.
A
Love
this
because,
first
of
all,
we're
selling
it
at
the
assessed
value
to
somebody
who's
not
doing
anything
with
it
immediately,
which
is.
It
looks
like
a
nice
little
park
for
a
place
that
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
green
space,
but
I
have
to
ask
this
question
I
think
we're
all
sort
of
wondering
eighty-two
years
ago.
How
did
this
come
into
the
city's
inventory
tax.

jpn
DC
was
designated
for
last
fall,
so
they're
going
to
combine
all
three
parcels
for
this
project.
F
The
next
is
the
existing
conditions
of
the
site.
Unfortunately,
there's
a
mature
civil
maple
on
the
site.
Gonna
have
to
be
taken
down
to
accommodate
the
project.
Jp
and
EC
hide
an
arborist
to
do
a
study
to
see
if
there
was
any
way
they
could
save
it
and,
unfortunately,
in
the
arborist
report,
any
construction
at
all
on
the
site
is
going
to
damage
the
tree
beyond
its
ability
to
survive.
F
Next
is
a
street
elevation
of
what
the
two
buildings
will
look
like
this
is
the
conceptual
I've
gone
through
some
design
review
already
there'll
be
further
design
review
as
we
go
forward
and,
lastly,
is
the
proposed
site
plan
of
the
site.
Essentially,
the
the
DND
parcel
is
in
the
center,
where
the
curb
cut
will
be
and
most
of
the
parking.
F
In
summary,
if
PFC
approves
the
vote
requests,
it
will
result
in
the
following
public
benefits:
eight
new
housing
units,
including
four
homeownership
units
and
four
rental
units.
The
four
homeownership
units
will
be
sold
to
households
earning
up
to
eighty
percent
of
the
area,
median
income
and
will
be
deed,
restricted
to
remain
affordable
for
up
to
fifty
years.
The
four
rental
units
will
be
rented
to
households
earning
up
to
60%
ami,
with
an
option
to
be
rented
up
to
80%
ami,
if
necessary,
for
the
project
to
be
financially
feasible.
F
The
project
will
revitalize
three
parcels
of
underutilized
vacant
land
in
the
neighborhood
one
parcels
owned
by
the
city
of
Boston.
The
other
two
parcels
are
owned
by
the
Commonwealth
of
Massachusetts.
The
project
is
also
expected
to
create
twelve
thousand
four
hundred.
Sixty-Five
construction
hours,
which
will
generate
jobs
among
the
building
trades,
the
sale.
This
parcel
can
also
be
expected
to
yield
young
long-term
financial
benefits
to
the
city.
By
removing
these
parcels
from
the
city's
inventory,
the
city
will
be
able
to
avoid
the
future
costs
and
liabilities
associated
with
maintaining
these
properties.
F
The
city
stands
to
save
an
estimated
$700
in
annual
operational
costs
such
as
maintenance,
snow,
plowing,
etc.
By
passing
on
responsibility
for
the
property
managers
to
JP
n
DC,
in
addition,
by
returning
these
properties
to
the
tax
rolls,
the
city
can
expect
to
recoup
it
fifteen
thousand
three
hundred
twelve
dollars
in
annual
to
tax
revenue
and
I'm,
hitting
it
there
any
questions
that.
