B
Thank

This

a
meeting

Boulder

before
we
start

just
a
reminder
for
folks
that
you
can
always
call
in
for
to
confirm
an
item
of
interest
at

B
I'm
just
scrolling

the
agenda,
so
we
are
go
to
our
public
hearing
we're
here
this
evening.
Item
11a
and
commissioner's
office.
American
rescue
plan
act,
arpa
final
recommendations
and
we
are
going
to
ask,
as
was
stated
before,
we
started
and
went
live
just
for
the
process.
Here
we
have
a
presentation
from
the
community
working
groups,
partners
who
have
been
working
on
the
american
rescue
plan
act
funding
and
then
we
will
open
up

There

talk
about
the

to
move
into
panelist

speak
and
or
to
telephone
in,
and
then
commissioners
will
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
any
questions
or
to
respond
to
any
of
that
feedback.
There
will
not
be
a
decision
made

evening,
so
there
isn't
a
vote
as

the
public
on

the
boulder

arbor
steering
committee,
who
represent
over
200
organizations
in
boulder
county.
We
thank
you
for
having
us
here
today.
I'm
amy
the
director
of
rebuild
by
design
the
impact
of
covert
19
pandemic
has
touched
all
members
of
the
boulder
county
community
in
some
cases
very
tragically,
and
though
the
pandemic's
efforts
have
been
widespread.
The
health
and
economic
impacts
have
not
fallen
equally
among
different
communities.
C
F
Thank
you,
amy.
Thank
you,
commissioners.
This
pandemic
exposed
some
of
the
starkest
inequalities
in
our
community
throughout
the
pandemic.
The
community
foundation
has
worked
closely
with
our
non-profit
and
government
partners
to
ensure
support
was
available
to
those
who
needed
most
through
our
covet
19
fund.
The
foundation
distributed
over
1.9
million
dollars
to
meet
our
community's
needs
in
many
ways.
G
F
Will
see
today
represent
a
new
way
of
doing
business.
Community
leaders
came
together
to
work
with
the
county
to
design
programs
that
the
community
asked
for.
Today's
meeting
will
focus
on
the
outcome
of
the
process
and
the
working
groups
recommendations
that
we
hope
will
drive
transformative
change
in
our
community.
F
F
After
today's
recommendations,
we
hope
the
county's
relationship
with
the
community
will
continue
to
grow.
After
you
make
your
final
decisions,
I
want
to
recognize
boulder
county
leaders,
commissioners,
lochman
levy
and
jones,
and
the
boulder
county
staff
for
listening
to
the
community
in
phase
one
and
creating
a
truly
transparent
process
and
helping
to
direct
arpa
funds.
F
C
Thank
you
so
much
tatiana
next
slide,
we'll
kick
off
the
presentation
with
a
short
synopsis
of
the
collective
process.
We
took
to
reach
a
decision
on
these
recommendations,
followed
by
presentations
on
the
transformative
programs
recommended
by
the
three
working
groups.
They
are
economic
challenges,
affordable
housing
and
mental
health
and
social
resilience.
C
Next
slide.
The
process
was
designed
by
boulder
county's
arpa
steering
committee
and
coordinated
by
rebuild
by
design
with
the
support
of
county
staff.
Arpa
stands
for
the
american
rescue
plan
act
also
known
as
the
federal
funding
to
help
communities
build
back
from
the
pandemic.
The
county
invited
organizations
who
reflect
the
diversity
of
the
communities
affected
by
covid
and
with
strong
grass
grassroots
foundation
to
become
members
of
this
committee.
C
The
partners
are
listed
on
the
slide,
and
here
with
us
this
afternoon,
boulder
county
was
committed
to
understanding
how
they
can
address
the
effects
of
covid
on
the
entire
community
and
how
to
build
assets,
strength
and
resilience
to
address
the
disparities
that
have
become
apparent
during
the
pandemic
and
provide
measurable
and
equitable
outcomes.
These
partners
were
invited
into
the
process
because
they
know
best
how
to
engage
with
their
communities.
Excuse.
H
Thank
you
so
much
amy
and
good
evening.
Everyone-
and
thank
you
for
being
here,
so
we
kicked
off
this
process
last
summer
with
a
widespread
community
engagement
effort
that
was
led
by
our
partners
and
the
county
community
engagement
team
and
the
goal
was
to
understand
how
residents
business
owners,
students
and
workers
all
across
boulder
county
were
impacted
by
the
pandemic,
as
well
as
to
collect
their
ideas
for
building
an
inclusive
recovery
throughout
the
county.
H
Due
to
the
unpredictable
circumstances
brought
on
by
the
pandemic.
We
designed
an
outreach
process
that
relied
on
a
survey
and
virtual
and
in-person
community
feedback
events
and
created
outmate
outreach
materials
that
were
then
translated
into
spanish
and
nepalese
and
all
hard
work
by
our
partners
paid
off.
H
We
actually
surpassed
our
goal
of
over
1500
surveys
and
we
attended
or
organized
over
41
events
through
connections
with
over
300
organizations
and
talking
to
folks
on
the
street,
and
I
would
like
to
quickly
acknowledge,
in
addition
to
the
efforts
of
our
partners,
aisa
garita
and
ignacio
baruna
from
the
county
staff
put
in
amazing
effort
to
reach
folks
where
they
were
at
community
centers
at
churches,
family
resource
centers.
At
farmers,
markets
and
the
list
goes
on.
H
And
so
the
feedback
from
the
community
gave
us
a
very
clear
direction
for
phase
two
among
the
many
challenges
that
were
brought
on
or
magnified
by
the
pandemic.
The
areas
of
greatest
need
existed
at
the
intersection
of
economic
challenges,
housing,
affordability
and
mental
health
and
social
resilience.
H
So,
building
on
the
ideas
brought
forward
in
that
community
engagement
effort,
the
arpa
steering
committee
co-designed
a
second
phase
of
this
work
to
design
recommendations
for
the
use
of
the
arpa
funds.
We
established
three
working
groups
which,
for
the
first
time,
were
co-led
by
community
leaders
and
a
boulder
county
agency
head.
H
They
must
be
transformational
balance
the
needs
of
the
long
term
and
the
short
term
must
be
easily
deployed
to
help
people
in
immediate
need.
They
must
be
sustainable
when
the
arpa
funding
runs
out,
they
must
focus
on
equity
and
addressing
the
underlying
racial,
economic
and
health
disparities
in
the
county.
I
I'm
also
the
vice
president
of
human
services
alliance
and
we
are
made
up
of
over
60
local
human
services
organizations
providing
critical
services
to
thousands
of
boulder
county
residents,
I'm
so
pleased
tonight
to
be
presenting
to
all
of
you.
It
was
my
honor
to
serve
as
co-chair
of
the
economic
challenges
committee,
along
with
susan
caspie
interim
director
of
the
boulder
county,
housing
and
human
services
department.
I
Commissioner
locoman
was
our
commissioner
sponsor
next
slide.
Please,
the
economic
challenges
committee
was
made
up
of
19
community
leaders
of
non-profit
and
from
the
nonprofit
and
small
business
community.
We
had
an
incredible
team,
passionate
and
engaged
individuals
who
threw
themselves
into
the
work
of
identifying
the
nuances
of
the
challenges
and
developing
smart
recommendations.
I
After
several
initial
meetings,
the
economic
challenges
work
group
gathered
and
decided
to
focus
on
two
major
themes:
small
businesses
and
nonprofits
in
sustainability
in
child
care.
Next
slide,
please,
within
those
two
themes,
three
recommendations
emerged,
which
we
are
pleased
to
present
to
you.
This
evening
the
first
recommendation
is
survive
and
thrive,
which
focuses
on
nonprofits
in
the
small
business
community
and
the
second
two
direct
cash
assistance
to
families
and
early
childhood
community
village
are
focused
on
child
care
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
miranda
next
slide.
Please.
J
Oh
good
afternoon,
miranda
fisher,
I'm
the
town
administrator
for
the
town
of
netherland
and
as
rebecca.
K
J
Our
first
proposal
is
called
survive
and
thrive.
What
we
are
requesting
is
7.5
million
to
provide
grants
to
small
businesses,
nonprofit
organizations
and
business
support
entities.
Our
proposal
is
broken
into
two
areas
of
focus
under
the
survive
component.
Grants
will
provide
support
to
some
meaningful
support
to
short
and
long-term
investments
that
will
stabilize
business
conditions,
workforce
and
operations
under
the
thrive
component.
Grant
awardees
will
be
required
to
engage
with
entities
that
provide
business
support
services.
J
We
feel
this
provocative
impacts
businesses
in
the
following
ways.
It
ensures
business
continuity
for
small
businesses
and
non-profit
organizations
that
are
disproportionately
impacted
by
covet
19
and
can
demonstrate
a
negative
economic
impact,
we'll
also
increase
capacity
for
building
business
support
entities.
J
It
will
motivate
businesses
support
entities
to
develop
new
and
innovative
offerings,
and
it
will
ensure
higher
participation
rates
of
small
businesses
and
non-profit
organizations
and
available
business
support
programs
next
slide.
Please,
our
target
populations
include
the
following:
small
businesses
located
or
serving
in
qualified
census,
tract
areas,
high
vulnerability
index
areas
and
remote
communities.
G
G
The
next
thing
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
is
some
recommendations
that
our
working
group
developed
around
possible
criteria
for
grant
awardees
in
the
three
categories:
small
businesses,
nonprofit
organizations
and
business
support
entities.
We've
also
developed
a
recommendation
for
the
distribution
of
funds
across
those
three
different
categories
in
the
small
business
grant
category
we're
suggesting
400
awardees
at
10,
000
per
business
or
four
million
dollars
in
total
funding.
G
2
million
dollars
in
total
funding,
with
some
possible
criteria
for
award
being
serving
covet,
impacted
populations,
demonstrating
negative
impact,
negative
economic
impact
from
the
pandemic,
a
commitment
to
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
and
demonstration
of
investment,
priority
for
low-wage
workers
and,
finally,
for
business
support
entities.
We're
suggesting
15
awards
at
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
award
for
for
total
funding
of
1.5
million
dollars
in
that
category.
G
Some
potential
criteria
for
those
awards
would
be
serving
covet:
impacted
populations,
commitment
to
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
demonstration
of
investment,
priority
for
traditionally
underserved
small
business
owners
and
entrepreneurs,
and
that
the
organizations
themselves
are
community
based
next
slide.
Please.
G
The
survive
and
thrive
program
would
be
a
new
grant
program
seeking
to
address
both
short-term
need,
while
also
providing
long-term
support.
It
will
do
this
by
supporting
eligible
small
businesses
and
non-profit
organizations
that
can
make
meaningful
short
and
long-term
investments
to
stabilize
their
own
business
conditions,
workforce
and
operations.
That's
the
survive
part
of
the
program.
G
We
also
believe
the
program
expands.
The
capacity
of
those
business
helps
to
expand
the
capacity
of
those
business
support
organizations
to
offer
services,
as
well
as
to
create
new
innovative
offerings
to
support
local
businesses,
above
and
beyond,
current
and
traditional
government
programs
to
increase
their
impact.
G
Examples
of
similar
programs
both
locally
and
throughout
the
country,
are
the
existing
cat
pie
program
through
the
sbdc,
the
denver
business
impact
opportunity
fund
that
provides
funding
to
small
businesses
in
impacted
areas
and
then
nationally
in
both
indiana
and
maine.
We
found
examples
of
programs
that
we're
investing
both
directly
in
small
businesses,
as
well
as
the
resource
infrastructure
to
serve
them.
K
K
It
also
supports
non-profit
organizations
that
directly
serve
communities
hardest
hit
by
the
pandemic,
such
as
people
with
disabilities,
older
adults,
communities
of
color,
lgbtq
people
and
other
marginalized
populations,
but
furthermore,
it
also
addresses
internal
equity
within
organizations
and
businesses
by
allowing
organization
proposals
to
demonstrate
this
investment
priority
of
really
addressing
equity
internally
and
some
of
the
ways
that
those
could
be
used
are
things
like
wage
equity,
increasing
pay
for
lower
wage
workers,
hiring
underrepresented,
community
members
or
program
participants,
supporting
professional
development
to
promote
real
career
advancement
for
individuals,
language,
translation
and
interpretation
and
cultural
broker,
services,
expanding
legal
resources
for
immigrants
and
our
undocumented
community
members,
technical
assistance
for
historically
underserved
entrepreneurs
and
physical
storefront
upgrades
next
slide.
K
L
K
A
communications
team
specifically
with
cultural
brokers,
so
that
we
can
promote
this
opportunity
in
underserved
and
remote
communities
and
make
sure
that
the
communities
that
don't
always
have
access
to
funding
opportunities
like
this
know
about
it
and
get
the
support
and
assistance
that
they
need
to
apply
and
then
finally,
boulder
county
staff
that
are
over
signed
assigned
to
oversee
the
project
from
end
to
end.
So
we
need
your
help
and
with
that,
I'm
going
to
pass
it
off
to
our
child
care
team.
Jorge.
M
Good
evening
my
name
is
jorge
gonzalez
pronouns.
He
him
his.
I
am
the
housing
coordinator
at
span,
safe
house,
progressive
alliance
for
non-violence
and
I'm
going
to
introduce
our
second
recommendation,
which
is
cat,
direct
cash
assistance
to
families
with
young
children,
age
zero
to
three
to
help
with
child
care
expenses.
M
Quality
quality.
Child
care
is
a
basic
need
for
all
families.
It
helps
parents,
re-enter
the
workforce
and
promotes
healthy
child
development,
but
quality
child
care
is
really
expensive
and
hard
to
access
for
many
lower
income
families
prior
to
the
pandemic.
The
cost
for
child
care
in
colorado
was
the
seventh
most
expensive
in
the
country
and
in
boulder
county
child
care
costs
were
five
ten
percent
higher
than
the
state
average
during
the
pandemic,
costs
have
risen
and
affordable
child
care
continues
to
be
critical
need
for
lower
income
families.
M
Families
would
not
have
to
spend
the
money
in
any
specific
way.
Instead,
caregivers
could
choose
the
best
way
to
it
could
support
their
needs.
For
example,
it
could
help
to
pay
for
child
care
or
help
a
parent
stay
at
home,
with
their
infant
to
provide
care,
and
on
this
slide
you
can
see
some
of
our
expected
impacts.
M
M
This
program
would
seek
to
include
these
families
by
narrowing
the
disparity
in
poverty,
employment
and
early
education
rates.
This
program
will
also
help
to
address
systemic
factors
and
inequities
among
black
and
latinx
families,
and
next,
oh
max
julie,
will
share
some
of
the
details
of
the
program.
N
Thanks
jorge
hi,
I'm
julie
van
damlen,
with
the
emergency
family
assistance
association,
better
known
as
effa
of
the
six
million
dollars
that
jorge
mentioned.
The
program
would
direct
most
of
the
resources
into
transfers
to
families
300
per
month
for
725
children
over
two
years
of
implementation,
we'd
also
fund
a
county
staff
position
to
help
with
program,
administration
and
evaluation,
as
well
as
provide
implementation
funding
to
key
program
partners
to
successfully
implement
this
program
and
reach
eligible
families.
N
N
N
Wic
just
to
name
a
few
on
the
side,
you
can
see
our
estimated
timeline
after
two
years
of
direct
assistance.
The
program
would
not
be
able
to
continue
without
identifying
funding.
An
impact
evaluation
will
build.
The
evidence
base
of
the
program
demonstrating
impacts
can
secure
and
leverage
funding
from
public,
private
and
non-profit
resources
with
time
to
prepare
sustainable
funding.
Level
of
three
million
dollars
per
year
is
easily
attainable
in
our
community
next
slide.
N
So
why
is
this
exciting?
The
program
will
have
meaningful
immediate
impacts
for
families
and
children
often
hardest
hit
by
covid,
as
well
as
our
local
economy.
You
can
see
on
the
slide
a
number
of
the
anticipated
short-term
benefits,
but,
what's
more
exciting,
is
that,
even
with
this
limited
window
of
support,
we
can
anticipate
long-term
effects.
N
The
two-generational
approach
will
attempt
to
interrupt
the
intergenerational
cycle
of
poverty.
Investments
made
in
young
children
have
a
lasting
lifelong
effect,
and
this
would
reach
a
significant
share
of
kids
zero
to
three
in
our
county
that
are
living
in
poverty.
It
will
also
begin
to
address
racial
inequality
and
economic
and
inequality
in
children's
learning
outcomes.
P
Q
Great
thanks
julie,
I'm
debbie
pope,
I'm
the
ceo
for
the
ywca
boulder
county,
I'm
also
the
chair
of
the
women's
collaborative
our
third
and
final
recommendation
for
consideration
for
urpa
funding.
Tonight
is
the
early
childhood
community
village
concept
and
collaboration,
we're
requesting
1.5
million
in
funding
to
grow
capacity
in
the
child
care
and
education
system
through
development
of
an
early
childhood
community
village
concept
in
southeast
longmont.
Q
Moving
ahead
to
the
next
slide,
let
me
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
village
in
our
concept.
This
proposal
is
requesting
capital
funding
and
funding
for
operational
support
to
develop
an
early
childhood
community
village
in
southeast
longmont
to
expand
and
support
early
childhood
development
in
multiple
aspects.
The
funding
would
be
used
as
seed
money
to
really
support
the
design
and
development
of
an
early
childhood
community
village
concept.
The
village
focused
on
serving
children
from
infancy
to
the
age
of
five.
Q
Additionally,
providers
found
that
co-locating
can
alleviate
some
of
the
financial
and
operational
burdens
linked
to
providing
care
in
a
new
area
so
that
they
can
increase
holistic
care
approaches
and
serve
more
children.
This
project
is
based
on
the
successful
development
of
the
wilderness.
Early
learning
center
in
the
city
of
boulder,
which,
beginning
in
2010,
brought
together
eight
non-profit
organizations
serving
children
and
families.
Q
Core
partners
of
the
wilderness
center
would
be
leveraged
to
help
develop
and
implement
this
project.
These
partners
include
the

Now
this

across
multiple
sectors

Please,
our
group
will
be
presenting
details
on
the
three
proposals
listed
here
before
I
turn
it
over
to
my
teammates
for
further
details
on
each
of
these
items.
I
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
the
three
bullet
items
listed
below.
O
S
Good
evening
I
am
laura
scheinbaum
and
I'm
here
with
ann
tapp.
I
am
the
director
of
real
estate
development
for
boulder
housing
partners.
We
are
the
housing
authority
for
the
city
of
boulder,
we're
pleased
to
be
representing
on
the
pipeline
projects,
which
is
really
trying
to
leverage
work.
That
has
already
happened
in
our
county
to
develop,
affordable
housing
projects
that
will
help
stabilize
housing
for
more
individuals
in
our
community
that
have
been
economically
challenged
by
impacts
from
the
cova
19
time
period.
Next
slide,
please.
S
In
any
affordable
project,
there
is
always
a
gap.
It's
just
fundamental
to
the
way
that
affordable
housing
works.
It
costs
x
to
build
whether
you're
doing
private
or
public
housing,
and
you
get
rents
that
are
lower
and
so
in
between
those
two
numbers
is
what's
called
the
gap,
there's
a
number
of
ways
that
we
solve
for
that,
and
you
know
there
are
things
like
tax
credit,
equity,
there's
debt,
there's
local
resources
such
as
inclusionary
housing
funds.
A
S
So
not
only
could
they
just
help
fund
that
gap,
but
the
other
way
that
they
could
assist
is
to
really
start
to
buy
down
rents
on
these
projects,
so
the
minimum
rent
for
affordable
housing
or
I'm
sorry,
the
maximum
rent
for
an
affordable
housing
project
is
60
of
area
median
income
for
every
sort
of
25
000.
We
can
start
to
buy
down
those
rents
for
a
unit
to
either
50
40
30
of
area
median
income,
which
starts
to
get
infinitely
more
affordable
to
those
in
our
community
that
are
most
housing
challenged.
S
We
are
recommending
that
this
comes
through
an
existing
program
at
the
county,
which
is
the
worthy
cause.
Competition.
S
This
is
a
would
be
a
set
aside
within
worthy
cause,
so
that
we're
not
taking
money
away
from
other
uses
of
worthy
cause
funds,
but
would
be
able
to
utilize
and
stand
up
this
this
distribution
to
by
using
an
existing
process
so,
and
that
is
sort
of
the
overview
and
summary
next
slide.
Please
and
really
the
goal.
You
know
summarizing.
All
of
that
very
succinctly
is
to
just
get
more
units
into
the
community
as
quickly
as
possible.
T
Thanks
laura
and
good
evening,
commissioners,
my
name
is
ann
tapp.
I
use
sheffer
pronouns,
I'm
the
executive
director
at
safe
house,
progressive
alliance
for
non-violence.
T
As
we
all
know,
the
covet
pandemic
has
been
tough
on
everyone,
but
it's
been
especially
devastating
for
communities
of
color
for
older
members
of
our
community,
for
survivors
of
domestic
violence
for
lgbtqi
plus
individuals
for
people
living
with
disabilities,
among
others.
The
lack
of
affordable
housing
creates
insurmountable
challenges
to
individuals
and
to
families
who
are
trying
to
rebuild
their
lives
after
after
cobit.
T
T
That
would
be
a
mom
and
her
two
kids
living
on
fifteen
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
older
adults
and
people
living
with
a
disability.
These
affordable
housing
programs
are
key
to
independence.
Nearly
half
of
senior
households
and
more
than
90
percent
of
households
with
a
disability
are
below
15
percent.
Ami
again,
that's
15
000
a
year
similar
data
from
boulder
county
housing
authority
further
emphasizes
how
critical
and
urgently
needed,
affordable
housing
is
for
underserved
communities.
T
You
see
here
of
household
households
served
through
boulder
county
housing
authority,
voucher
programs.
Just
last
year,
25
identified
as
latinx.
More
than
three-quarters
were
female
identified.
Heads
of
households,
30
percent
were
elderly
and
nearly
half
of
all
the
households
served
were
providing
a
home
for
children,
so
the
availability
of
affordable
housing
is
an
urgent
community
need
if
our
recovery
from
covet
is
to
be
equitable
and
transformational
for
our
community,
I'm
going
to
pass
it
back
to
laura
to
describe
a
few
examples
of
pipeline
projects.
S
Thanks
ann
super
helpful,
so
this
our
pipeline
steering
group
did
not
we're
not
making
a
recommendation
for
these
projects
in
particular,
but
we
did
review
a
collective
of
projects
that
were
submitted
to
the
arbus
steering
group
that
are
in
pipeline
that
could
be
eligible
for
this
type
of
funding
from
the
arpa
arpa
funds
from
the
county.
S
Willoughby
corner
is
one
it's
a
boulder
county
housing
authority
project
that
is
proposing
400,
affordable
homes
in
a
great
variety
of
product
types,
duplexes
town
homes
and
then
serving
a
generational
families.
Different
types
of
residents
who
are
housing
challenge
would
be
eligible
to
live
there.
So
willoughby
corner
is
out
in
lafayette.
I
believe
and
would
be
you
know
just
an
example
of
a
project
that
could
utilize
these
funds
rally.
Flats.
Another
example:
this
is
a
completely
entitled
project.
That's
permit
ready!
That's
a
hundred
units
of
permanently
affordable
housing.
S
There
was
an
idea
for
a
longmont,
affordable,
assisted
living
property.
That
would
really
target
those
those
residents
who
are
in
affordable
housing
now,
but
are
aging
and
are
in
need
of
his
additional
resources
and
support,
and
so
would
be
taking
it
to
that
next
level
for
assisted
care
in
an
affordable
setting,
and
then
we
also
met
with
the
mountain
community
groups
and
really
there's
a
great
need
for
projects
and
funding
to
go
into
especially
rehab
in
the
mountain
communities.
S
So
the
thought
is
that
there
could
be
a
set
aside
within
the
worthy
cause
distribution
methodology
to
really
help
those
mountain
communities
with
potentially
some
of
their
rehab
needs.
That
could
be
identified
as
well,
as
perhaps
you
know
a
set
aside
for
the
future
when
a
pipeline
project
comes
along
for
the
mountain
communities,
so
that
is
just
again
examples.
This
would
go
through
a
vetting
process
through
what
we're
recommending
again
is
the
worthy
cause
application
system
that
our
process
in
terms
of
evaluating
how
the
project
project
were
to
work.
S
You
know
again,
I
think
it's
a
good
indicator
of
what
would
happen
with
the
demographics
in
terms
of
what
we
see
in
other
affordable
communities
in
the
county.
But
certainly
we
would
be
able
to
do
an
evaluation
of
once
the
property
is
leased
up
and
stabilized
who
that
property
is
really
serving,
and
I
think
again
it's
just
over
and
over
again,
when
you
have
that
asset,
that's
in
the
community,
it
continues
to
work
for
the
community
and
housing,
as
we
know,
is
just
such
a
stabilizing
factor
in
people's
lives.
S
So
that's
the
pipeline
recommendation
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
next
group
within
the
affordable
housing
steering
committee.
Thank
you.
U
Good
evening,
commissioners
and
others,
kurt
fernhower,
director
of
housing
and
human
services
for
the
city
of
boulder,
and
I'm
also
representing
as
a
member
of
the
regional
housing
partnership.
U
So
the
we
have
three
areas
that
we
would
like
to
focus
on:
to
increase
the
regional
capacity
within
the
county
and
the
the
first
one
really
evolves
around
policy
progress
that's
been
made
in
in
many
of
our
cities
like
superior
lewisville,
lafayette
and
erie,
where
they
have
passed
or
are
in
the
process
of
passing
inclusionary
housing.
U
This
is
a
policy
approach
which
brings
in
financial
resources
to
build
affordable
housing.
However,
none
of
these
communities
have
the
capacity
or
infrastructure
to
manage
and
oversee
the
compliance
of
affordable
housing.
So
this
slide
here
shows
sort
of
a
the
various
aspects
of
an
affordable
housing
program.
U
The
the
compliance
for
this
and
the
support
of
this
would
be
done
regionally,
so
each
individual
city
would
not
have
to
have
their
their
own
compliance
compart
departments,
and
there
would
be
sort
of
economies
of
scale
in
doing
this
regionally
and
there's
also
many
funding
sources.
A
U
U
So
the
so
the
home
ownership
program.
This
is
an
existing
program
in
the
city
of
boulder,
and
these
are
the
various
aspects
of
running
a
homeownership
program.
Currently
there's
800
home
ownership,
affordable
units
in
the
city
of
boulder,
so
this
would
be
replicating
this
program
throughout
the
county,
so
once
units
are
in
place,
it's
marketing
and
creating
education
for
households
that
could
qualify
for
such
housing,
it's
qualifying
the
buyers.
So
when
a
home
comes
up
for
sale,
there's
a
set
of
qualified
buyers
already
set
up
to
to
purchase
and
move
into
such
a
home.
U
U
U
O
U
U
So
if
we
can
go
to
the
last
slide
here,
so
this
summarizes
the
the
financial
component
of
our
bra
over
two
years,
so
the
under
inclusionary
housing.
So
that's
the
rental
compliance
of
about
245
000
over
two
years,
the
ownership
program
of
225
and
under
the
ownership.
We
also
have
a
foreclosure
prevention.
U
So
this
this
is
a
revolving
fund
of
1.2
million
dollars
that
would
be
used
to
purchase
any
affordable
homes
that
potentially
go
towards
a
foreclosure
process
and
prevent
that
foreclosure
from
occurring
and
allow
the
individuals
to
exit
the
home
without
a
foreclosure
on
their
record
and
maintain
the
affordability
of
that
home
for
the
next
resident.
U
U
All
of
these
come
to
two-point
almost
2.3
million
over
2
years
and
then
for
homes
that
I
spoke
about
earlier,
where
we
would
purchase
existing
townhomes
or
condominiums
at
market
and
turn
them
into
affordable
units.
The
the
net
cost
per
per
unit
is
about
95
000
per
home,
and
I
will
end
there
and
hand
it
over
to
to
our
next
presenter.
V
The
resident's
opportunity
to
purchase
which
boulder
county
and
the
city
of
boulder
endorsed
and
contributed
to
the
drafting
of
this
unique
funding
source
can
serve
as
a
catalyst
for
investment
in
boulder
county's
manufactured
housing
communities
and
eliminate
some
of
the
financial
barriers
that
have
inhibited
residents
from
being
able
to
purchase
their
parks
next
slide.
For
mike.
Please.
W
Many
of
these
groups
were
significantly
impacted
by
covid
downturns
and
from
losing
jobs
from
losing
hours.
A
lot
of
folks
had
to
stay
home
because
of
health
concerns,
and
on
top
of
this,
their
pay
has
not,
through
the
the
recent
years,
been
keeping
up
with
the
lot
rent
increases
that
they've
been
facing,
and
this
has
led
to
ever
increasing
housing
and
stability
within
the
malmo
park
communities.
W
Because
of
this,
our
three
proposals
seem
to
have
a
strong
chance
of
helping
anywhere
from
300
to
1200
households,
depending
on
how
how
the
funds
get
distributed
next
slide.
Please.
W
So
the
first
proposal
is
is
for
acquisitions
and
for
a
little
bit
of
background
on
this
proposal.
Consider
the
goal
of
so
many
people,
which
is
home
ownership
and
and
how
vital
that
is.
Traditional
home
ownership,
provides
stability,
security
control
over
one's
own
home
space,
an
asset
that
you
can
build
and
leverage
for
future
expenses
manufactured
home
ownership
is
the
closest
thing
that
people
come
within
the
40
lower
income
brackets,
but
because
the
land
underneath
is
owned
by
someone
else
with
conflicting
interest
such
as
maximizing
rents.
W
W
But
currently
the
financing
for
rocks
is
a
loan,
only
financing
which
leads
to
stable
rents,
but
still
at
an
unaffordable
level.
So
there's
a
need
to
buy
them
down.
V
Yes
again,
my
name
is
rachel
arndt.
One
of
the
major
challenges
faced
by
manufactured
housing
communities
is
related
to
the
historic
lack
of
investment
and
deferred
maintenance
and
infrastructure
upgrades.
This
has
left
water
and
sewer
systems
in
need
of
costly
repairs
and
regularly
impacts
residents,
access
to
palatable
and
reliable
drinking
water
and
wastewater
service.
V
V
This
funding
could
also
support
private
owners
by
removing
the
risk
of
project
design
costs
via
technical
assistance
grants
or
by
making
infrastructure
public
for
resident,
owned
communities
or
non-profits.
This
infrastructure
funding
could
fill
a
financial
gap,
as
mike
was
just
saying
in
terms
of
the
loan
financing
for
the
parks
and
support
resident
ownership
through
another
means
outside
of
just
the
acquisition
next
slide
for
michael
pierce.
W
So
for
a
little
bit
of
context
on
this,
over
half
the
manufactured
homes
in
the
county
were
built
before
hud
implemented
its
1976
codes,
or
not
long
after
when
hud
codes
were
fairly
minimal
and
because
of
this
because
of
this,
this
lower
code
level,
a
lot
of
mobile
home
owners
are
increasingly
caught
up
in
a
short
caught
up
short
by
increasing
increasingly
stringent
codes.
They
face
increasing
costs
from
a
cascade
of
permitting
requirements
where
to
fix
a
little.
W
So
in
other
cases,
homes
are
at
the
close
to
the
end
of
their
useful
lives
where
the
futility
of
repairs,
unaffordability
of
alternatives
and
loss
of
equity,
effectively
locks
these
homeowners
into
remaining
in
deteriorating
homes.
W
So
by
bridging
the
affordability
gap,
a
repair
assistance
fund
can
help
break
down,
break
the
downward
feedback
loop
and
make
a
pair
of
repairs
once
again,
financially
feasible.
It
can
also
provide
a
route
out
for
homeowners
of
homes
that
are
are
past
the
point
of
no
return,
and
that
concludes
our
presentation.
L
Excuse
me,
michael:
we
we've
had
a
request
and
rachel
for
the
your
affiliation
and
that
of
rachel
aren't
rachel
is
with
the
bull
cat
county,
bourbon,
county
public
health.
But
michael.
I
don't
want
to
speak
on
your
behalf
if
you
could
provide
your
affiliation.
V
And
claire,
I
I
typed
our
affiliations
in
the
chat
so
that
folks
could
access
those
as
well.
Okay,.
O
Thank
you
rachel.
Thank
you,
michael
commissioners,
I'm
paul
janapor
with
boulder
county
housing
and
human
services,
and
we
just
wanted
to
jump
in
here
at
the
end
of
our
presentation.
O
I
know
we're
running
late,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
captured
a
few
of
the
ideas
that
our
group
had
discussed
that
were
not
considered
among
our
finalists
just
to
capture
them
for
the
future
for
possible
future
consideration.
So
they're
listed
here
one
to
identify,
shovel,
ready
or
under
construction
market
rate
developments
to
target
for
potential,
affordable
home
ownership.
O
Another
would
be
for
the
hoteling
for
unhoused
families
with
children,
so
the
ability
to
provide
short-term
hoteling
options
and
then
finally,
to
purchase
multiplex
buildings
and
convert
those
to
permanent
housing
for
those
who
don't
qualify
for
traditional
housing
programs
and
for
that
population
to
also
provide
supportive
services.

Hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
robin
bohannon,
I'm
with
the
boulder
county
community
services
department,
and
I
co-chaired
the
working
group
on
mental
health
and
social
resilience
with
katrina
harms
who's
with
the
peak
to
peak
human
services
alliance.
Commissioner
matt
jones
was
our
sponsor
next
slide.
Please.
X
As
with
the
other
working
groups,
we
were
blessed
with
many
many
people
who
represented
community
organizations
coalitions
the
general
public
people
with
lived
experience,
and
I
really
want
to
thank
them
for
their
commitment
to
this
process
and
engagement,
as
well
as
our
county
staff,
and
we
also
outreach
to
additional
community
partners
who
really
supported
our
work.
We
could
not
have
done
it
without
them.
So
thank
you
all
next
slide,
please.
X
As
you
heard
earlier,
the
phase
one
community
engagement
process
brought
lots
of
information
to
us
and
we
heard
plenty
around
mental
health
and
social
resilience,
and
this
slide
just
demonstrates
just
the
highlight
of
what
we
heard,
which
really
informed
our
decision
making
and
prioritization
process
next
slide.
Please.
X
We
heard
that
we
need
to
question
the
current
status
of
mental
health
service
delivery
and
disrupt
the
narrative.
Arpa
provides
an
exciting
opportunity
to
test
new
options
while
informing
how
best
to
use
existing
investments,
and
we
will
share
with
you
many
shovel
ready
projects
for
the
arpa
investments
next
slide.
Please.
X
X
So
we
really
had
to
dive
dive
deep
to
really
understand
all
that
might
be
on
our
menu
of
services.
So
we
prioritized
from
this
lengthy
list
next
slide.
Please,
the
three
prioritized
projects
and
you'll
hear
that
one
project
has
many
projects
as
part
of
the
large
project,
where
equitable
access,
what
we're
calling
as
open
the
front
door,
navigation
resources,
as
well
as
a
community
mobile
response.
That
is
not
a
part
of
a
law
enforcement
response.
X
Y
I'm
here
also
because
of
talking
with
other
folks
with
lgbtq
family
members
like
mine,
folks,
with
cultural
and
language
barriers
and
those
with
youth
and
suicidal
thinking,
and
I
want
to
begin
just
by
saying
how
transformational
this
plan
is
to
families
like
mine,
so
the
first
and
the
centerpiece
of
what
we're
proposing
is
a
community-wide
navigation
hub.
Y
Next
slide,
please
this
drawing
shows
what
we're
talking
about
is
a
community-wide
navigation
hub.
You
can
see
we
want
to
make
clear.
It's
not
a
behavioral
health
hub
is
not
a
physical
building
or
a
central
location
for
behavioral
health
services,
but
in
reality
it's
a
coordinated
entry
to
behavioral
health
services,
a
collection
of
processes
and
procedures
to
facilitate
timely
and
closed-loop
referral
that
is
anchored
and
supported
through
an
it
platform.
Y
This
is
leveraging
an
existing
pilot
that
has
a
tested
roadmap
for
expanded
implementation
in
order
to
serve
those
who
experience
the
most
barriers
in
figuring
out
how
to
get
help.
This
is
already
underway
here
in
boulder
county,
with
an
existing
phase,
one
or
pilot
working
with
the
criminal
justice
agencies
and
referrals
for
those
engaged
in
the
criminal
justice
system.
Y
Y
The
goal
is
to
make
this
fully
accessible
to
the
general
public
next
slide.
Please
now
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
this
slide
and
that's
on
purpose.
We
want
to
make
a
a
point
here
that
in
2019,
a
study
provided
to
boulder
county
recommendations
for
a
coordinated
behavioral
health
center
by
the
omni
group
laid
out
this
plan.
Y
This
is
a
well-developed
model
that
we
will
leverage
with
the
arpa
funds
to
take
an
implement
much
more
rapidly
than
could
have
been
done
under
previous
timelines.
You
can
see
here
the
elements
come
back
to
this
slide
later.
There's
a
lot.
A
call
number
will
access
to
integrated
clinical
staffing
and
county-wide
early
diversion
efforts.
We'll
have
there's
many
ways:
it
will
law
interface.
Y
The
staff
is
going
to
be
identified
to
have
deep
expertise
in
the
county's
behavioral
health
systems
to
understand
the
treatment
options
and
have
relationships
for
referrals
with
providers.
This
will
be
housed
and
maintained
within
a
technology
platform
and
include
up-to-date
technical
in
our
information
about
services
available
and
capacity
to
take
new
clients.
Y
Y
Next
slide,
the
community-wide
navigation
hub
leverages
existed
funding
work.
As
I
said,
this
system
platform
and
trained
users.
Navigators
are
being
developed
now
in
the
county.
It
addresses
social
determinants
of
health
needs
alongside
behavioral
health
needs
through
comprehensive
service
referrals
and
the
use
of
alternative
treatment
models
such
as
healing
arts
and
community
care.
Y
The
project
includes
adding
resource
navigators,
funding,
existing
networks
of
community-based
organizations
and
cultural
brokers.
Next
slide,
please:
here
we
lay
out
how
the
three
million
dollars
proposed
will
be
spent
and
the
most
important
thing
on
this
slide.
I
want
to
call
your
attention
to
is
that
this
program
will
serve
the
entire
community.
Ultimately,
because
it
would
allow
any
community
member
to
seek
support
and
navigation
to
mental
and
behavioral
supports
for
themselves
or
someone
we
care
about.

Thank
you
kathy
and
commissioners
for
the
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
this
process.

E
I've
heard
many
times
that
services
exist
for
the
western
part
of
the
county,
while
the
lack
of
infrastructure,
broadband
and
transportation
capacity,
issues
around
finances
and
staffing
means
the
services
either
cannot
be
offered
or
failed

reach

folks
that
they
should
today,

Project
proposal.
E
Leveraging
the
county's
existing
non-profit
contracting
processes
to
increase
investments
in
community-based
organizations
and
school-based
programs
by
creating
a
request
for
proposals
that
prioritize
agencies
and
projects
serving
disparately
impacted
populations
and
focusing
on
access
focusing
on
equitable
access
would
result
in
a
more
comprehensive
front
door.
Behavioral
health

net
model
that
expands
innovative
treatments,
services
and
supports
for
those
experiencing

health
issues,

and

that
impact
the
daily
quality
of

Equitable
access
means
different
things
for
different
gaps
and
needs
stigma.
Cultural
differences,
mistrust
of
institutions,
government
and
government
for
those
who
may
lack
documentation
all
result
in
a
challenge
to
finding
the
right
door
to
obtain
mental
health
and
social
resilient
supports
inaccessibility
of
physical
and
virtual
locations
and
service
provisions
that
are
not
welcoming
or
culturally
representative
creates
frustration
and
avoidance
of
the
service.
E
Community-Based
support
builds
on
an
existing
structure
of
the
safety
net,
where
any
door
is
the
right
door
has
been
the
framework
similar
to
the
safety
net
that
provides
financial
assistance,
child
care
and
housing
assistance
to
those
in
need.
An
example
would
be
food
pantries
as
an
entry
point
in
rural
communities
to
inform
and
act
in
to
information
and
access
to
services.
E
Mental
health
vouchers
are
a
tool
that
can't
that
can
increase
access
and
has
been
utilized
once
since
the
onset
of
repeat
natural
disasters
that
increase
trauma
and
mental
health
needs,
post
fires
and
the
flood
a
voucher
program
would
need
an
extensive
outreach
process
to
the
community
and
to
the
providers
who
have
avoided
vouchers
because
of
the
administrative
burden.
E
Along
with
community-based
programs,
the
integrated
services
model
would
mean
partnering
with
underserved
populations.
To
best
determine
what
front
door
would
look,
would
work
best
and
could
be
a
transformational
program
for
traditionally
underserved
populations
such
as
mountain
and
rural
communities.
E
Lastly,
building
on
a
2021
pilot
program
of
community-based
trainings
in
mental
health,
first
aid
and
suicide
prevention
will
help
strengthen
the
safety
net.
It
would
increase
understanding
and
awareness
of
mental
health
issues
while
reducing
the
fear
and
stigma
around
mental
stress,
anxiety,
trauma
and
despair
that
has
grown
during
the
pandemic
and
continues
to
be
unacknowledged
and
invisible.
E
Z
You
katrina
good
evening.
My
name
is
marcy
campbell
and
I
use
she
her
pronouns.
I
work
for
boulder
county
as
the
behavioral
health
system
project
manager
and
was
one
of
the
staff
supporting
the
mental
health
and
social
resilience
work
group.
The
third
recommendation
is
community
mobile
response
teams.
Z
The
work
group
heard
clearly
the
need
for
community
crisis
response
not
linked
to
law
enforcement.
A
person
shouldn't
need
to
go
through
the
criminal
justice
system
to
get
necessary.
Mental
and
behavioral
health
supports
the
group
recognized
the
trauma
that
can
come
with
a
law
enforcement
response,
particularly
for
community
members
of
color
or
undocumented
community
members
who
may
be
hesitant
to
call
for
help.
If
they
know
law
enforcement
will
be
present.
Z
This
project
proposes
the
establishment
of
mobile
behavioral
health
response
teams
that
respond
to
community
behavioral
health
needs
resolving
issues
locally
and
without
the
need
for
law
enforcement.
Involvement
teams
would
be
dispatched
through
the
state's
988
crisis
line,
which
begins
this
summer
and
could
be
activated
through
the
county's
hub
navigation
system
that
kathy
shared
about.
Should
that
proposal
move
forward,
the
intent
is
to
provide
this
service.
County-Wide
responders
would
be
licensed.

X
Thank
you,
marcy
and
kathy
and
katrina,
so
you've
seen
this
slide
before
and
as
you
heard,
we
entertained
lots
of
projects
wanting
to
find
a
good
balance
between
some
shovel
ready
projects
as
well
as
ones
that
would
take
more
continued
planning.
X
In
closing,
many
of
our
projects
need
continued
planning
and
community
engagement
and
we
want
to
make
sure
those
projects
that
are
engaging
our
nonprofit
partners.
People
with
lived
experience
and
new
partners
come
to
the
table
to
help
us
figure
out
the
best
implementation
going
forward,
and
with
that,
thank
you
for
your
time
katrina.
I
apologize
for
interrupting
you
and
I
look
forward
to
the
discussion.
C
I'm
just
going
to
take
the
last
10
seconds
to
sincerely
thank
all
of
the
working
group
members
who
volunteered
their
time
and
their
expertise
and
really
brought
their
whole
selves
to
this
process.
Just
wanted
to
give
you
a
big
shout
out
and
thank
you,
then
also
to
the
county
staff,
who
have
been
just
incredible
partners
throughout
this
entire
process.
C
Who've
met
with
us
every
week,
who
became
part
of
the
steering
committee,
and
we
really
you
know
just
want
to
recognize
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
this
process
as
well.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
interpreters,
who
have
been
with
us
through
the
working
group
process
and
also
tonight,
and
a
special
thanks
to
the
community
foundation
for
their
support
and
also
for
the
urban
institute
for
their
guidance,
we'll
now
open
it
up
for
questions
from
the
baocc.
B
Great,
thank
you,
everybody
for
all
the
work
for
being
here
this
afternoon
into
the
evening
for
sharing
your
expertises
and
before
bringing
recommendations
forward
to
the
board.
So
I
am
a
couple
pieces
and
I
just
want
to
typically
in
this
process.
What
we
would
do
is
have
the
the
commissioners
respond
with
some
questions
and
then
move
into
the
public
comment
space.
B
Because
of
the
timing,
I
would
suggest
that
we
keep
with
the
move
this
right
to
the
public
comment
area,
and
so
that's
the
that's
what
we're
going
to
do
here.
So
what
I
want
to
do
is
just
give
some
direction
for
the
public
hearing
section
for
folks
who
are
wanting
to
participate
and
let
me
get
back
to
my
other
page.
B
So
I've
got
that
if
you
are
on
the
computer
and
you
want
to
participate-
and
you
haven't
been
put
on
the
list
of
names,
yet
you
can
type
in
your
first
and
last
name
and
then
we
can
get.
You
moved
to
a
panelist
so
that
you
can
be
a
speaker.
Speakers
have
three
minutes
to
talk,
share
your
ideas,
ask
your
questions
or
solutions,
and
if
anybody
would
like
to
join
on
the
phone
and
didn't
get
that
number
earlier,
it's
on
the
screen
now,
but
it's
also
1-83-568-8864.
B
So
thank
you
for
being
here
for
participating
and
I
will
go
through
down
the
list.
There
is
a
timer
on
the
bottom
right
hand,
corner
of
screens
and
you'll,
hear
it
actually
ring
and
then
I'll
have
to
cut
you
off
just
so
that
we
can
keep
moving
on
the
list
if
that's
necessary.
So
then
we
will
move
forward
and
number
one
on.
Our
list
is
julie,
pillar.
AA
B
And
suzanna,
if
you're
on
your
phone
by
chance
hit
star
nine,
please!
Oh
I
see
a
note
here
so
we'll
remove
suzanne
and
go
to
number
three
jennifer
banyan.

Q
A
Hi
this
is
dennis
whelan.
I
had
signed
up
just
to
reserve
my
right
to
make
comment.
If
I
saw
something
specific,
I
don't
I
chair
the
peak
to
peak
housing
and
human
services
alliance
and
the
netherlands,
food
pantry
board
of
directors
and
I'm
very
pleased
to
see
that
there
is
consideration
for
the
mountain
communities
in
much
of
this
presentations
beyond
that.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
P
Hey
there
am
I
on
speaker
or
no,
yes,
I've
been
listening
and
I
apologize.
I
didn't
have
a
question.
I
don't
know
if
one
came
through
and
if
I
was
supposed
to
present,
I
just
wanted
to
check
in
and
ask
for
your
name
if
you
don't
mind,
of
course,
rhonda
dwyer
and
I
am
a
program
manager
with
boulder
county
contractor,
but
I've
been
with
the
county
for
over
a
year
working
exclusively
on
the
arpa
project
and
quietly
listening
and
participating
as
much
as
everybody
else.
B
Thank
you
what
I
will
and
I'm
sorry
I
just
didn't-
see
the
screen,
so
I
couldn't
tell
who
was
speaking.
That
was
why
I
was
asking
if
you
want
to
stay
on
as
an
attendee
ronda
and
then
respond
to
any
specific
arpa
questions
that
might
be
helpful
for
the
working
groups
for
you
to
stay
on
and
we
can
move
you
to
panelists.
If
you
need
to
speak
exactly.
D
And
this
is
brianna
barber
again
assistant
clerk
to
the
board.
I
just
want
to
make
a
technical
note
that
when
we
promote
people
to
panelists,
they
will
need
to
agree
to
a
pop-up
screen
that
shows
up
on
their
computer.
So
currently
we
are
working
to
promote
scott
and
I
think
we
can
move
forward
to
our
next
speaker.
D
D
B
D
AC
Oh,
my
god,
I've
been
talking
this
whole
time,
sorry
to
waste
your
time.
I
actually
just
did
a
text
saying
or
a
message
saying.
Thank
you
all
for
all
your
participation
and
the
time
it
took
to
get
to
this.
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
have
one
question.
I
guess
thanks
for
calling
out
the
program
that
outboulder
has
called
the
point,
which
is
in
partnership
with
the
county
right
now.
AC
The
question
I
have
is
I've.
Never
we've
never
received
a
voucher.
It
sounds
like
a
problem
and
I
would
like
some
more
information
on
what
that
looks
like
we
have
a
great
plan
in
place
right
now
with
the
county
that
reimburses
us
quickly
for
the
work,
we're
doing
and
getting
people
placed
into
therapy.
But
the
voucher
program
frightens
me
a
little
bit
and
on
that
I
will
stop.
B
Okay,
thank
you
just
a
reminder,
as
we
go
through
our
speaker
list
that
commissioners
will
respond
and
then,
if
we
don't
have
the
answers,
we'll
have
working
group
folks
respond
to
the
questions,
just
to
make
sure
that
the
recommendations
are
clear
and
everybody
has
an
opportunity
to
get
their
input.
So
thank
you.
Let's
move
to
number
16
here,
harrington.
D
B
Thank
you
and
we'll
do
a
last
call
for
folks,
so,
if
anybody's
texting
and
or
connecting
with
some
of
the
folks
that
we're
wanting
to
speak,
let
them
know
that
we
are
now
in
public
comment
period,
since
we
ran
over
time.
That
may
be
some
of
the
confusion.
Thank
you.
Everybody
for
your
patience,
we'll
move
to
number
19.,
remember
so
by
loan.
AD
AD
I
was
actually
a
part
of
one
of
the
working
groups
with
the
child
care
group,
but
my
question
was
for
the
final
presentation
on
the
final
proposal
having
to
do
with
the
resource
community
resources,
as
opposed
to
law
enforcement,
addressing
calls
and
how
the
community
will
become
aware,
because
I
I
do
strongly
believe
that
this
is
a
great
proposal,
but
the
success
is
only
going
to
be
as
as
great
as
its
outreach
and
the
community
awareness
of
this
new
resource.
AD
Q
D
This
is
brianna
barber
assistant
clerk
to
the
board.
At
this
time
we
are
unable
to
promote
carrie
to
a
panelist.
She
may
be
saying
no
to
the
pop-up
on
the
screen,
so
I
think
we
could
move
on
to
the
next
available
speaker
present,
which
is
rosemary
thompson
and
in
just
a
moment
I'll
promote
them
to
panelists.
B
Okay,
thank
you
and
just
a
reminder.
If
there's
folks,
who
are
having
technical
issues
and
you'd
prefer
to
use
your
phone
you're
welcome
too,
that
number
is
eight
three
three
five,
six,
eight
eight
eight,
six,
four
and
you'll
just
have
to
raise
or
sorry
you'll
have
to
hit
star
nine,
to
raise
your
hand
and
then
star
six
to
animate
yourself
when
you're
ready.

Creating

for
all
ensuring
people
can
meet
their
basic

and
have
opportunities
to
move
toward
economic
success.
As
a
partnership
is
you
know,
between
boulder
county
community
action
programs
and
united
way?
Many
on
this
call
will
know
someone
who
has
been
affected
by
the
services
of
the
pi
program
and.
AE
AE
It
is
only
thanks
to
partnerships
and
continued
investment
in
pie
from
community
funders,
referral
agencies,
banking
institutions,
community
educators,
community
volunteers
and
staff
members
that
pai
remains
a
strong
entity.
Today
we
are
proud
to
continue
to
be
present
in
boulder
and
broomfield
counties
to
date.
Over
400
individuals
and
families
have
been
successful
in
purchasing
their
first
home,
starting
and
capitalizing
their
small
business
or
pursuing
post-secondary
education.
AE
AE
We
help
individuals
think
about
their
finances
and
put
saving
into
practice.
This
results
in
a
path
forward
toward
homeownership
business
ownership
or
a
post-secondary
degree.
This
creates
a
way
for
people
to
focus
on
the
future,
rather
than
only
paying
the
bills
this
month.
Housing
affordability
is
such
a
high
priority
and
need.
Today
we
have
seen
the
percentage
of
participants
saving
for
home
ownership,
go
from
29
in
2011
to
63
percent
in
2021

Health
is
also
a
key
factor
in
our
understanding
of
the
whole
person.
AE
Behavioral
economics,
the
psychological,
cognitive,
emotional,
cultural
and
social
factors
that
affect
our
economic
decisions
have
taught
us
the
importance
of
understanding
the
whole
person
as
we
work
together
to
achieve
their
goals.
Wise
work
in
the
community
is
proven
and
long-standing
pai
has
experience
with
managing
federal
grants.
It
has
a
structure
in
place
to
help
people
quickly
toward
their
goals.
It
reaches
those
that
are
often
not
seen
and
whose
needs
may
not
be
met
otherwise,
without
community
support,
pai
would
not
have
an
86

rate
in
the

AF
Hi
folks,
I
first
of
all
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much,
and
it's
so
exciting
to
hear
all
of
the
recommendations
really
extraordinary.
I'm
with
eco
arts
connections.
We
bring
the
arts,
together
with
science,
social
justice,
indigenous
and
other
ways
of
knowing
to
inspire
people
to
live
more
sustainably
and
that's
environmentally,
economically,
socially,
culturally.
Personally,
we
do
lots
of
works
with
work
with
mobile
home
communities,
especially
latinx
folks,
and
we're
thrilled
to
see
the
opportunities
we
hope
we're
going
to
be
available
to
the
folks.
We
work
with.
AF
One
thing
I
wanted
to
ask
is
another
part
of
my
identity
and
I'm
going
to
read
from
the
arpa
community
engagement
part
on
the
website
where
it
says
when
asked.
What's
one
thing
boulder
county
can
do
to
improve
the
lives
of
you,
your
loved
ones
or
your
business.
End
quote:
an
overwhelming
number
of
respondents
suggested
increased
and
improved,
affordable
housing
options
check.
The
other.
Top
suggestions
include
economic
support
to
offset
the
impacts
of
the
pandemic
check.
AF
Improved
mental
health
services
check
include
including
initiatives
to
combat
social
isolation
from
the
digital
divide,
check,
increasing,
affordable
child
care
options,
check
and
greater
support
for
the
arts
and
artists.
I'm
just
curious
about
this
last
part
about
the
arts
and
artists,
and
I
s
it
was
wonderful
to
see
those
words
even
in
the
plans,
but
I'm
curious
will
they
also
be
part
of
all
the
other
different
recommendations,
or
is
that
you
need
help
with,
because
I
know
lots
of
folks
that
I'm
sure
would
love
to
help
thanks
so
much
again
for
all
your
work.
AF
B
And
if
you
would
like
to
speak,
you
can
also
raise
your
hand
in
the
zoom
or
again
into
your
information
into
this
chat.
So
that's
kind
of
the
last
call
for
any
additional
speakers,
and
then
what
we're
going
to
do
is
go
back
to
our
list
where
we
had
missed
some
folks.
They
may
be
back
on
the
computer
or
back
on
the
phone
now
and
so
we're
gonna
go
to
number
three
jennifer
banyan
and
I'm
gonna
read
a
few
names
just
in
case
somebody's
not
looking
at
the
screen
as
who's.
B
In
order
we're
gonna
go
to
jennifer,
then
eddie
urkin,
then
scott
cook.
So
those
are
our
next
speakers.
If
folks
are
still
interested
and
just
a
reminder
that
commissioners
will
respond
to
the
questions,
comments
that
we
have
heard
and
we
may
have
staff
support,
if
there's
something
we
don't
know
or
have
some
other
comments
about
as
well
before
the
commissioners
respond
in
general
to
the
presentations
the
recommendations
again,
this
hearing
this
evening
is
not
a
decision-making
hearing.
B
B
D
Hello
chiming:
this
is
brianna
barber
assistant
clerk
to
the
board.
I
have
gone
through
the
list
of
all
the
people
highlighted
and
the
only
ones
present
are
scott
cook
and
carrie
and
oshida,
and
I've
tried
to
promote
them
both
to
panelists
a
few
times
so
and
if
they're
not
coming
over
to
the
panelist
side.
B
Thank
you.
So
if
and
then,
of
course,
I
just
oh
scott
and
carrie.
If
either
of
you
are
there
and
wanted
to
put
a
note
into
the
chat,
if
you
would
still
like
to
speak
and
or
the
phone
number,
if
you're
having
tech
issues
and
do
want
to
speak,
please
go
ahead
and
call
in
at
eight
three
three
five,
six,
eight
eight
eight
six
four
and
we
all
understand
the
challenges
with
technology
and
devices.
D
B
Thank
you
with
that.
We'll
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
comment
section.
Thank
you,
everybody
who
is
participating
with
us
this
evening.
We
have
also
just
want
to
add
in
throughout
this
process,
we
have
received
emails
from
a
lot
of
different
folks
around
the
community,
not
just
folks
working
on
the
working
groups
and
we've
read
those
and
those
have
been
compiled
and
and
provided
as
information
into
this
process,
both
in
phase
one
and
phase
two
as
well.
B
So
that's
been
another
opportunity
for
folks
to
provide
public
comment
so
with
that
commissioners
would
just
love
to
open
up
the
conversation
to
respond
to
public
comment
and
any
other
questions
that
you
might
have
or
comments,
and
I
think
probably
the
best
way
to
do.
This
is
respond
to
the
comments
and
then
we
could
go
through
the
recommendations
by
group
and
talk
about
them
together
and
we
can
start
there.
B
AG
Well,
I
have
to
put
everything
in
context
so
I'll
just
say
what
I
need
to
say.
First
of
all,
it's
really
impressive.
All
the
work
that's
been
done
by
these
groups
and
by
the
work
by
staff
and
others
to
lead
up
to
this
work,
and
it
was
interesting
hearing
it
all
in
one
batch.
We
got
the
summary
of
all
of
this
previously
and
I
went
through
and
it's
a
lot
of
exciting
work
and
it's
a
really
a
big
opportunity
for
the
county
and
for
the
people
who
live
in
the
county.
AG
After
all,
that's
what
this
is
all
about.
I
to
mr
level's
comment
about
how
long
this
last
is
correct.
This
these
are
upper
funds,
they're
allocated
for
four
years,
we're
more
than
half
a
year
into
that,
so
we're
approaching
three
years,
and
then
they
go
away
and
unless
we
find
federal
funding
or
something
like
that,
the
chance
of
them
continuing
is
small.
AG
If
at
all
and
sustainability
in
the
criteria,
I
think
meant
two
things,
one
is
trying
to
have
a
program
that
lasts
beyond
its
time,
so
that
it
it
continues,
but
it's
also
helping
people
who've
been
really
adversely
affected
by
the
pandemic,
now
and
kind
of
more
like
a
stabilization
issue,
because
it's
still
going
on
the
pandemic
exacerbated
a
lot
of
issues
we
had.
I
worked
in
the
mental
health
and
social
resilience
group
and
those
those
issues
existed
before
the
pandemic.
AG
They
just
became
more
profound
with
for
people,
so
there's
that
and
the
other
part
is-
and
we
got
into
this
a
little
bit.
The
executive
summary
which
will
be
posted
is
great
because
each
one
of
these
was
allocated
approximately
15
million
and
that's
what
they
came
in
at
which
I'm
glad
that
people
on
the
work
groups
went
to
the
extent
to
figure
that
out
so
that
it
helps
us
make
decisions,
and
some
of
these
things
are
ready
to
go
right
away.
AG
AG
AG
And
50
million
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money
and
it
is
to
me,
but
you
divide
that
by
four
years
and
compare
it
to
our
budget.
It's
you
know
it's
what
eight
percent
seven
percent
of
the
budget,
the
county
budget,
so
that
that's
just
the
realism,
but
on
the
other
hand,
people
have
done
some
real
good
work
in
these
work
groups
to
figure
out.
Where
can
we
get
the
best
result
for
the
money?
We
have
to
try
to
transform
some
of
the
problems
that
were
exacerbated
by
the
the
pandemic.
AG
So
mr
level
is
correct.
This
is
a
four-year
program.
It
is
for
everybody
and
congress
said
it
that
way
and
also
marty's
comment.
AG
The
idea
was
to
expand
mental
health
services
marty
and
we
can
talk
to
you
about
that
because,
with
the
direct
payments
to
help
people
and
and
leverage
all
the
great
non-profits
we
have
in
this
county,
it's
just
a
long
tradition
of
strong
non-profits,
helping
people
and
accounting
working
with
them,
and
we
just
want
to
take
that
to
another
level.
So
those
are
two
questions
that
I
had
written
down
here
that
I
tried
to
address.
L
Yeah
thanks,
I
was
not
going
to
try
to
respond
to
the
questions
and
commissioner
jones
did
a
nice
job
anyway.
Excuse
me
of
doing
that.
I
had
just
some
questions
about
the
proposals
and
I
thought
maybe
now
is
a
good
time
to
just
ask
those
questions.
L
I
don't
think
we
want
to
bring
people
back
to
answer
them
necessarily,
but
because
I
I
think
there'd
be
a
lot
of
kind
of
back
and
forth
here,
but
I
thought
it
might
be
good
because
we
do
have
the
public
who's
been
very
interested
in
this
project
to
just
put
those
at
least
my
questions
out
there.
So
they
know
you
know
what
my
thinking
is,
but
before
I
do
that,
I
guess
first,
I
just
want
to
again.
L
And
so
what
we're
seeing
here
is
is
the
result
of
really
an
amazing
process
that
has
been
organic
from
the
from
the
ground
up
and
and
now
it
it
kind
of
comes
down
to
us
to
to
make
the
decisions
and-
and
I
think,
we've
we've
got
really
incredibly
strong
proposals
and
very
interesting
proposals.
I'll
just
go
through
the
notes
that
I
jotted
down,
you
know
just
to
just
to
share.
L
You
know
just
some
of
the
questions
and
that
I
have
so
on
economic
challenges
and
in
the
small
business
and
the
surviving
and
thriving
proposal
on
the
small
business
and
nonprofit
funding.
L
I
well
one.
I
guess
one
thing:
I
don't
know
how
we
deal
with
this,
but
you
know
what
we.
What
we
have
now
are
the
the
small
businesses
and
the
nonprofits
that
made
it
that
didn't
go
under
and-
and
I
I
think
there
are
a
fair
number
that
didn't
make
it,
and
I
don't
know
whether
it's
possible
to
find
out
you
know
what
kinds
of
economic
challenges
they
are
facing
as
a
result
of
having
lost
their
business
and
whether
there's
any
kind
of
support
that
can
be
provided.
L
L
That
may
need
some
assistance,
so
we
might
want
to
find
out
about
that
as
well,
because
well,
the
ones
we're
helping
here
are
the
ones
that
actually
were
able
to
hang
on
and
and
make
it
through
the
timeline
of
that
of
not
being
of
really
meeting,
I
think
until
it
was.
It
was
mid
2023
to
be
in
a
position
of
putting
those
funds
out
in
the
community.
L
I
am
concerned,
you
know
if,
if
these
are
organizations
that
are
having
trouble
hanging
on
were
were
basically
saying
hang
on
another
year
and-
and
I
wonder
if
there's
a
way
to
to
speed
that
up,
I
think
making
grants
a
whole
new
grant
program
is
a
really
challenging
thing
to
come
up
with
the
criteria
and
the
process,
and
then
accountability
for
that.
So
I
it's
just
a
note
of
caution,
so
I
think
of
of
all
the
the
projects
and
proposals
that
that
was
the
one.
L
I
think
I
had
the
most
concern
about
whether
we'll
really
be
able
to
stand
it
up
the
direct
cash
assistance
it.
It
just
makes
me
happy
to
know
that
this
is
part
of
our
proposals.
It's
something
that
when
we
first
heard
about
these
arpa
funds,
I
wanted
to
be
sure
that
we
considered
this
very
seriously.
I
think
it's
one
of
the
most
powerful
things
that
we
can
do
for
people
and
the
only
questions
I
have
about
that
are
two.
L
I
guess
one
whether
we
can
consider
by
maybe
adjusting
some
funds
that
from
one
bucket
to
another,
going
slightly
higher
than
100
of
the
federal
poverty
level,
because
that
fpl
is
a
very
low
amount
and
there
are
families,
many
of
whom
have
children
in
that
zero
to
three
age
category
who
are
probably
facing
pretty
severe
financial
constraints
or
challenges
that
you
know
are
above
that
150
of
federal
poverty,
and
so
I
I'd
love
for
us
to
consider
going
up
slightly
higher
and
then
I
also
wonder
about
you
know
zero
to
three.
L
I
get
it.
That's
the
most
expensive
child
care
to
to
be
able
to
afford,
but
you
can't
really
rely
on
public
schools
even
with
the
preschool
program.
Now,
that's
that's
funded
until
your
kids
are
ready
for
kindergarten.
L
So
that's
that's
a
program,
I
guess
I'd
love
to
see
us
consider
a
higher
income
level
and
possibly
including
zero
to
four
in
age
on
the
early
childhood
village.
I
think
on
that.
L
I
I
think
I
want
to
make
sure
I
actually
understand
what
we're
doing
here,
that's
primarily
to
to
support
ffn
providers.
I
believe,
and
I'm
wondering
whether.
L
We
actually
need
to
build
a
building
to
do
that,
whether
they
could
co-locate
this
project
could
co-locate,
because
that's
so
expensive.
I
think
I
heard
the
figure
13
million
dollars
from
some
other
source
that
would
be
needed
for
that
or
that
might
be
just
in
the
materials
and
whether
whether
you
I'm
I'm
wanting
to
make
sure
we're
using
as
many
of
these
funds
as
possible
for
services,
that's
much
more
immediate
than
the
all
the
all
that's
entailed
in
developing
a
building.
L
So
so
that's
one
thing
and
then
also
whether
there's
whether
there
are
forms
of
just
direct
assistance
to
ffn
providers,
that
that
might
be
helpful.
I
I
think
that
the
training
and
and
everything
that's
proposed
is
helpful,
but
I
but
they're
these
are
some
of
the
most
affordable
child
care
providers,
who
probably
are
struggling
quite
a
bit
with
the
fact
that
they
can't
charge
very
much
for
child
care
and
just
whether
we
should
also
consider
some
form
of
direct
assistance.
L
In
addition
to
this
early
childhood
village,
I'm
just
going
to
keep
moving
along
just
so
yeah.
So
I
did.
I
was
the
board
of
the
county,
commissioner
liaison
for
housing
affordability.
I
think
I
am
pretty
well
burst
on
that
and-
and
I
think
we've
come
up
with
some
great
projects
on
the
regional
capacity
sort
of
pot
of
of
projects
and
needs.
L
I
the
the
materials,
didn't
include
a
number
to
allocate
towards
the
home
ownership
program
and
it
there
was
just
a
note
saying
that
that
could
come
out
of
the
pipeline
set,
but
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
develop
a
target
amount
for
that,
so
that
we
know
what
we
might
be
able
to
do
with
that
proposal
and
that's
the
proposal
that
would
buy
market
rate
condos
or
townhomes
fix
them
up
and
sell
them
slightly
below
market
for
for
long-term,
affordable
homeownership.
L
So
just
thinking
it
might
be
good
to
actually
put
a
number
on
that.
I
did
want
to
make
sure
I
understood
that
the
foreclosure
prevention
funds
are
limited
to
preventing
the
for
those
those
homes
in
the
affordable
home
ownership
program
from
going
into
foreclosure.
I
didn't
understand
that
at
first
I
thought
we
were
trying
to
do
a
you
know,
a
foreclosure
prevention
program.
That
would
be
a
little
broader
to
that
and
I
would
be
worried
about
the
administrative
complexity
of
doing
that.
L
I
I
would
want
to
make
sure
that,
if
we're
providing
funds
for
infrastructure
to
non-resident
owned
communities
that
we're
very,
very
careful
about
making
sure
that
those
properties
remain
in
manufactured
housing
that
that
they're
not
put
up
for
sale
for
redevelopment,
so
we
may
want
to
get
a
commitment
to
a
right
of
first
refusal
for
any
any
private
for-profit
owner
that
that
does
accept
these
funds
and
then
on
the
so
the
funds
to
support
the
resident
owned
community
purchases.
L
I
think
that's!
This
is
the
thing.
That's
so
much
needed
to
actually
make
this
a
reality
because
limited
time
available
to
come
up
with
financing
the
high
cost
of
financing,
even
if
it's
provided
by
rock
usa-
and
you
know-
we
saw
the
textbook
case
for
this-
when
some
susie
went
through
that
process.
L
But
so
there's
ample
need.
I
think
we
could
find
ourselves
with
some
funds
available
at
the
end
of
the
period
when
we're
supposed
to
expend
these
funds,
because
there
are
so
many
contingencies
that
would
have
to
fall
into
place.
L
Those
funds
may
not
be
usable
for
that
purpose,
but
you
know
this
is
we
can
put
them
into
other
things
at
the
last
minute
because
of
these
great
pipeline
projects.
I
think
the
last
two
comments
just
two
comments
on
the
mental
health
and
social
isolation
projects.
L
You
know
what
we've
been
hearing
so
much
here
over
the
the
last
several
years
is
the
shortage
of
providers
and
I
may
have
missed
it,
but
I
didn't
see
anything
to
address
that
provider
shortage
and
so
I'd
be
interested
in
understanding
how,
as
we
try
to
expand
access,
but
we
don't
have
the
providers
to
serve
that
expanded
access
of.
You
know
whether
we're
going
to
be
able
to
actually
fulfill
the
promise
here.
L
So
I'd
like
us
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
opportunities
to
expand
availability
of
providers
and
then
I'm
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
or
I'm
a
lot
confused
about
the
voucher
idea.
I
don't
know
if
there
is
an
existing
voucher
program
and
we're
just
going
to
provide
additional
funds
for
it
or
whether
this
is
a
new
concept,
I'm
not
familiar
with
it
and
just
the
questions
I
have
are
when
with
well.
L
You
know
insurance
companies
negotiate
with
providers
to
cap
rates
right
and
and
when
we
you
get
behavioral
health
services
through
medicaid
medicaid's
done
that
negotiation.
L
So,
if
we're
proposing
a
direct
pay
for
people
who
don't
have
insurance
and
for
some
reason,
aren't
eligible
for
medicaid,
are
we
going
to
be
negotiating
provider
rates
or
or
are
we
just
going
to
pay
their
their
self-pay
rate?
So
I
just
need
a
a
little
more
background
on
the
voucher
program,
and
you
know
that
that
might
be
something
easily
answered
by
by
folks
that
propose
that.
So
those
are
the.
Those
are
the
questions
I
had.
L
I
think
I
think
our
staff
and
all
the
working
group
members
were
hoping
kind
of
to
get
a.
You
know
a
thumbs
up
down
or
sideways
on
these,
and
I
am
not
prepared
to
do
that
at
this
time,
but
I
can
say
that
I,
I
think,
we've
really.
I
think
we've
got
strong
proposals
and-
and
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
put
the
funds
that
we've
received
to
very
good
use.
I
want
to
say
one
more
thing.
L
I
guess,
because
I
know
jennifer
banyan
wanted
to
be
here
and
I
I
think,
she's
she's
out
sick.
Her
passion
is
food
insecurity
and
I
think
if
she
did
speak,
she
would
be
asking
about
whether
there
is
a
need
to
address
food
insecurity
beyond
what
snap
does
and
what
our
family
resource
centers
are
able
to
do
through
their
their
food,
pantries
and
whatnot.
L
So
I
didn't
want
to
just
acknowledge
that
that
early
on
in
the
pandemic,
especially,
was
a
huge
problem,
and
you
know
maybe
that
didn't
rise
to
the
to
the
top
here
in
our
outreach
efforts
and
in
our
other
efforts
to
surface
what
the
primary
needs
were
in
boulder
county.
But
I
would
like
to
hear
from
our
snap
administrators
and
maybe
the
the
boulder
county
public
health
on
on
hunger,
nutrition
and
food
insecurity
before
we
make
final
decisions.
AG
One
more
question
you
had
about
the
mental
health.
I
can
answer
real,
quick
here,
you're
right
about
the
workforce,
availability
and
development
issue
that
rose
to
one
of
the
top
tier
issues,
it's
systemic
across
all
of
these
things
that
the
county
is
thinking
about
doing,
and
it's
recognized
that
that
could
be
a
significant
issue
and
because
this
is
like
a
three-year
deal
or
four
years,
it's
hard
to
work
on
the
pipeline
issues.
So
it's
recognized
as
an
issue
and
was
recognized
by
the
group.
It's
an
issue
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
L
Well,
maybe
I
could
just
then
dialogue
with
you
on
that,
commissioner
jones.
What
was
was
the
thought
that
that
some
of
the
arpa
funds
would
address
that
that
pipeline
issue
or
what
because
acknowledging
it
needs
to
be
addressed
and
having
a
plan
to
address
it?
There's
there's
a
big
gap
between
those
two.
A
B
Make
some
decisions
on
how
to
narrow
down
those
lists?
A
couple
of
the
groups
talked
about
the
wider
and
broader
lists
of
requests,
and
one
of
the
speakers
asked
about
sustainability,
and
I
think
that's
also
one
of
my
concerns
about
you
know.
This
is
one-time
funding
and
also
the
question
marisa
brought
up
around
the
outreach
and
how
that
will
be
part
of
this
implementation,
and
I
think
that
might
be
the
response.
Also
to
marta,
who
asked
about
artists
and
art
who
were
brought
up
in
the
initial
phase.
B
I
have
some
questions
too,
and
I'm
really
looking
at
the
proposals
and
recommendations
from
the
experience
and
going
back
to
march
2020
and
that's
how
I'm
going
to
be
really
trying
to
place
myself
to
ask
some
of
these
questions
to
listen
this
evening
and
also
to
make
these
decisions
here
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks.
B
So
with
all
of
that,
a
couple
of
the
questions-
a
few
people
talked
about
the
hope
that
this
funding
would
be
transformative
in
our
community,
and
so
just
starting
with
the
economic
challenges
group-
and
I
was
a
sponsor
with
that
group
and
also
was
not
able
to
do
all
the
working
group,
but
have
has
been
able
to
do
the
steering
committee
over
the
last
several
months.
B
B
Could
that
be
more
transformative,
depending
on
what
the
needs
were
and
what
this
group
was
wanted
to
focus
on?
So
that's
that
was
my
comment
question
on
that
one,
the
other
direct
cash
assistance
to
families.
B
It
would
be
helpful
if
somebody
has
some
of
the
information.
I
appreciated
commissioner
levy's
comments
on
this
one,
and
I
think
this
is
an
exciting
potential
similar
to
like
just
an
income
support
right
for
child
care
and
we've
seen
the
needs
and
we've
seen
in
boulder
county,
even
the
reduction
in
child
care
facilities
due
to
copid
and
some
of
those
who
have
just
not
been
able
to
reopen.
B
So
the
question
would
be
what's
if
the
number
was
that
we
heard
was
300
a
month
and
the
narrative
talks
about
up
to
two
years
of
receiving
that
if
we
know
in
boulder
county
what
the
average
gap
in
child
care
with
the
actual
gap
and
need
for
child
care
funding
is,
and
I'm
guessing
that's
where
that
300
number
came
from.
But
I
just
was
curious
and
also
wanted
to
know
if
this
group
was
looking
at
well.
B
B
That
one
I
my
con,
my
question
was
just
if
this
is
really
a
concept,
how
far
along
it
is,
it
would
be
helpful
to
know
appreciated
the
leveraging
notation
of
folks
who
might
be
also
participating.
B
I
interpreted
that
program
as
need
as
a
site
for
for
teaching
for
training
for
actual
kids
to
be
on
site
kiddos
to
be
there
learning,
and
I
was
curious
about
if
there's
been
any
allocation
from
city
of
longmont,
because
the
location
looked
like
a
southeast
longmont
from
their
arpa
funds.
So
that
was
a
curiosity.
I
have
the.
B
B
How
would
this
respond
to
coped
19
in
the
suggested
group?
So
I
was
just
wondering
it
would
be
helpful
to
me
and
I'm
pointing
to
my
notes
here
that
doesn't
help
anybody
over
there
for
the
different
projects
that
were
given
as
examples
how
that
group
could
potentially
give
a
narrow
down
recommendation
that
would
either
pull
in
census
tract
numbers
that
would
like.
How
can
this
group
ensure
that
this
would
reach
the
folks
that
they
presented
that
it
would
meaning
they
talked
about
communities
of
color?
They
talked
about
folks
with
disabilities.
B
They've
talked
about
really
specific
groups,
but
I
don't
hear
how
they
could
ensure
that
one
or
any
of
these
particular
projects
would
meet
that
need.
So
that
was
just
a
question
that
I
have.
That
might
be
just
what
could
be
brought
to
us
in
the
next
conversation,
and
I
think
I
may
have
already
said
that
one,
if
there's
an
overlay
with
census
tract
that
arpa
guidance
provides.
B
So
that
was
the
question
I
had
on
that
one.
The
another
initiative
here
on
the
regional
housing
partnership
just
curious
about
the
other
home
ownership
programs
that
exist
and
how
many
people
they
have
on
the
ground.
Just
thinking
about
the
sustainability
question,
how
many
people
would
that
really
take
to
to
do
that
work?
There
was
a
couple
pieces.
One
was
talking
about
eviction
prevention
and
I
know
there's
other
programs
that
do
that.
B
So
just
wanting
to
check
in
around
duplicative
programming-
and
I
wasn't
sure
if
this-
the
way
I
heard
it-
this
homeownership
program
would
be.
B
Taking
in
all
of
the
different
home
ownership
programs
that
already
exist,
the
example
was
about
the
boulder
homeownership
program,
but
longman
has
the
homeownership
program
as
well.
So
I
just
wasn't
sure
if
the
intent
was
to
truly
bring
all
of
those
under
one
into
one
organization
if
it
was
conceptual
or
if
it
was
really
into
a
facility
with
bringing
in
all
of
those
staff
onto
one
location
from
around
the
region.
B
Oh,
I
did
have
a
question
just
about
the
feasibility
and
I
think
our
administrator
has
gone
through
all
of
these
notes
just
to
check
off
the,
because
this
is
federal
funding.
We
do
have
to
make
sure
that
we
are
in
line
with
not
the
initial
guidelines
but
the
revised
guidelines
and
where
we
are
right
now
with
the
upper
funds.
B
So
the
question
was
the
mobile
home
parks
and-
and
if
I
don't
know
if
michael
pierce
is
still
on
but
michael
and
I
were
both
testifying
on
manufactured
housing
bill
last
night
until
midnight,
so
just
want
to
appreciate
all
the
work
that
he's
doing
on
behalf
of
the
sanskriti
community
as
well
and
acknowledge
that,
can
we
do
a
reserve
fund
and
I
think
it's
similar
to
the
question
that
that
commissioner
levy
had
is
you
know
what
happens
if
we
don't
have
another
mobile
home
park
can
go
through
the
process
in
time
and
or
it
doesn't
come
up
for
sale
within
the
timelines
that
we
have
with
the
2024
or
2026
spending
time
frame,
so
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
that
we
could
actually
do
that
one.
B
If
this
would
then
replace
what
the
county
already
has
as
a
co-responder
model
or
if
it
would
be-
and
I'm
talking
about
long-term,
if
that
would
be
part
of
the
goal
and
the
reasoning,
why
is
we've
heard
in
a
separate
presentation
about
nationwide
a
lot
of
interest
in
from
community
members
to
move
this
co-responder
model?
Really
how
this
the
way?
B
I'm
reading
this
mobile
response
team
to
disconnect
police
officer
and
law
enforcement
from
that
work-
and
so
I
just
was
just
curious
if
this
group
was
thinking
long
term
or
if
this
would
be
a
setup
of
a
million
dollar
per
year
program,
in
addition
to
the
significant
amount
of
funding
and
resource
that
is
set
up
and
being
increased
around
the
region
already
with
the
co
responder
program.
So
that
was
one
of
the
questions
I
had
and
then
and
then
just
the
question
around.
B
B
The
community-wide
hub
navigation
and
I'm
gonna
hop
see
here
this
one.
I
just
had
some
questions
about
for
our
boulder
county
staff.
I
just
wasn't
clear
if
this
was
the
current
project
that
boulder
county
has
because
a
hub
has
been
presented
to
us
and
it
looked
like
the
same
graphic.
So
I
just
wasn't
sure
what
might
be
what
would
be
the
transformational
difference
and
also
just,
as
importantly
as
what
would
be
the
long-term
sustainable
additions
for
what
looked
like
an
another
six
ftes.
B
Let
me
see
here
so
I
think
that
was
oh.
There
was
another
one
in
the
mental
health
program
proposals
and
I'm
in
the
executive
summary
I'm
on
the
last
page
of
the
executive
summary
I
think
it's
page
3,
oh
yeah
13.,
just
wanting
to
know
who
else
is
doing
some
of
these
different
types
of
programs
that
were
notated
in
there
and
that'll
just
be
a
bigger.
You
know
that's
kind
of
a
general
question.
I
think
who
else
is
doing
this
work?
How
would
this
be
transformational?
B
Are
there
metrics
for
addressing
a
lot
of
folks
were
talking
about
racial
equity
and
or
specific
sectors
of
communities?
So
how
will
we
know
if
we
are
successful?
B
How
will
we
know
if
we
have
responded
to
the
community
asks
that
have
come
up
throughout
this
work
so
that
we
can
come
back
and
hopefully
do
annual
updates
on
where
the
funding's
been
used
and
how
it's
done
something
new
and
transformational
our
communities
as
we
continue
the
work
over
the
next
several
years?
So
those
were
a
couple
of
questions
I
had
so.
Those
are
my
my
questions,
my
response,
commissioner
jones.
If
you
had
anything
else,
you
wanted
to
say
just
a
reminder
for
folks
and
thank
you
so
much
for
being
patient.
B
We
didn't
know
for
sure
how
many
folks
we'd
have
joining
in
public
comment,
and
sometimes
we
have
one
person,
and
sometimes
we
have
a
hundred
people,
so
we
just
never
know,
but
we
appreciate
your
patience
and
again
we
aren't
making
any
decisions
this
evening,
just
as
a
rule
of
update
we
have
may
11th,
we
have
an
additional
meeting
with
the
boulder
county
directors.
We
have
been
meeting
with
the
chairs,
not
the
co-chair
and
chairs,
but
with
the
boulder
county
staff.
Who's
been
co-chairing.
B
These
teams
and
they've
been
updating
us
monthly
in
regards
to
the
work,
that's
been
happening,
and
we
have
a
meeting
similar
to
that
next
week
as
an
administrative
meeting
within
the
county
to
talk
more
so
commissioners,
any
other
additional
questions,
items
that
you
want
to
get
out
just
so
that
folks
can
send
any
other
information
to
us
from
the
chairs
or
co-chairs.
AG
I
don't
have
any
questions
well,
I
have
questions,
but
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
the
list
right
now,
I'll
learn
from
the
staff,
the
background
on
them.
But
what
really
strikes
me
about
this
whole
presentation
and
the
whole
effort
is
how
hard
and
stubborn
these
challenges
are,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
our
citizen
experts
that
stepped
up
to
help
us
make
progress
on
some
of
them.
AG
This
is
a
real
opportunity
and
I
just
want
to
appreciate
you
for
doing
that,
and
you
know
the
times
when
I
listened
in
on
the
mental
health
and
social
resilience
committee.
These
are
passionate
people
that
have
devoted
their
lives
in
most
cases
to
this
kind
of
work,
and
I'm
sure
it's
true
in
all
these
work
groups-
and
it
was
a
great
conversation
to
listen
into
trying
to
solve
and
address
these
issues
that
are
so
difficult.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
them.
That's
my
concluding.
L
Yep
I'm
unmuted
yeah.
I
don't
have
any
other
questions
at
this
time.
I
think
you
know
when,
when
you
actually
are
committing
month
money
to
programs,
you
will
need
a
lot
of
detail
so
that
we
actually
know
how
it's
going
to
work
and-
and
that's
that
was
what
was
behind
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
I
had
and
you
know
it
throughout
this
process.
There's
there's
sort
of
been
a
tension
between
wanting
to
do
something
brand
new
never
been
done
before
transformational.
L
Yet
that
means
we
may
have
to
create
a
new
structure
to
distribute
the
funds,
and
I
I
think
that
we've
got
a
really
great
mix
of
things
that
provide
potentially
game-changing
opportunities,
such
as
the
direct
cash
assistance,
no
strings
attached
and
investments
in
tried
and
true,
such
as
the
housing
pipeline
projects.
L
So
you
know
we'll
have
to
figure
out
ultimately
what
the
staff
capacity
is
for
new
programs,
the
materials
noted
where,
where
we
were
going
to
need
additional
staff
in
order
to
do
those
programs
and
and
there
I
think
what
we're
going
to
have
to
do
is
understand
how
much
of
these
one
times
resources
do.
We
want
to
actually
have
to
use
on
new
staff
to
administer
programs
versus
being
able
to
put
as
much
directly
out
into
the
community
as
possible.
L
So
these
are
just
the
difficult
questions
I
think
we'll
be
ruffling
with
at
the
end.
I
see
that
we
have
another
question
about
about
funding
for
the
arts
come
in
or
or
a
comment,
and
I
I'm
not
going
to
try
to
read
it
and
talk
at
the
same
time,
but
I
I
do
want
to
say
to
the
person
who's
posing
those
questions
that
having
a
daughter
and
a
future
son-in-law
who
are
in
the
performing
arts
who
both
had
no
income
during
the
pandemic
until
performing
arts
venues
could
reopen.
L
I
understand
those
challenges
and
perhaps-
and
hopefully
some
of
the
the
funds
for
non-profit
organizations
can
can
help
performing
arts
organizations,
because
the
one
of
the
covid
relief
federal
relief
packages
provided
money
for
venues,
so
the
denver
center
for
the
performing
arts,
the
dairy
center,
the
you
know
the
pepsi
center,
whatever
big
big,
you
know
venues,
but
the
artists
we're
left
out
of
that,
and
so
I
I
am
very
sympathetic
to
that,
need,
but
that's
all
I
have
I
again.
B
B
Everybody
for
the
work
for
the
participation
for
continuing
to
be
patient,
and
I
would
also
I
just
want
to
note
that
in
a
couple
of
proposals
that
had
timelines,
which
is
really
helpful,
it
would
be
it
would
be
great
to
know
before
next
week
and
then
the
meetings
with
directors.
If
there
is
an
opportunity.
I
know
some
of
those
groups
were
talking
with
programs
that
already
exist
somewhere,
whether
it's
with
a
enterprise
fund
or
with
whether
it's
in
a
fund
that
already
exists
at
the
county
to
move
that
timeline
up
a
little
bit.
B
So
again
we
aren't
making
a
decision
this
afternoon.
This
is
information
and
it's
very
appreciated.
This
video
will
be
on
the
website
on
theboco.org
website
or
bouldercounty.org,
along
with
all
of
the
other
information.
The
history
of
this
work,
the
different
federal
guidelines
and
reports
that
are
required
there
as
recipients
and
as
as
an
organization.
That's
accepting
federal
funding
on
the
american
rescue
plan
act,
funding
here
in
boulder
county.
So
thank
you,
everyone,
so
much
staff.
We
appreciate
you
staying
on
this
evening
and
making
this
public
process
happen.
B
Thank
you
to
rebuild
by
design
for
facilitating
this
process.
Thank
you
to
our
administrator
leslie
irwin
who's,
taken
on
the
arp
administration
role
for
the
county
and
is
leading
a
team
of
staff
in
conjunction
with
this
work,
and
certainly
want
to
appreciate
community
foundation
boulder
county
who
came
to
us
last
spring
with
the
ask
about
what
would
this
look
like
if
we
included
community
engagement
into
this
process?
So
thank
you,
everybody
and
with
that
we'll
go
ahead
and
join
our
public
hearing,
and
I
appreciate
it.
