Description
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) held their first meeting on Monday, Feb. 28, 2022.
A
The
last
two
years,
with
all
many
families
and
businesses
have
been
impacted
by
the
pandemic
and
recently
by
the
marshall
fire.
We
know
you
all
are
very
busy
and
you
have
many
things
on
your
plate
right
now.
I
think
so,
but
we
know
that
you
care,
that's
why
you
are
here.
So
we
cannot
thank
you
enough
for
volunteering,
your
time
and
participating
with
us
in
in
guiding
the
process
to
build
together
an
equitable
recovery
for
boulder
county.
A
As,
as
you
know,
these
meetings
are
always
hard.
So
we
have
a
tight
agenda,
so
we
don't
have
time
to
introduce
all
of
us,
but
please
place
your
name
and
your
organization
on
the
chat
and-
and
you
also
can
change
your
name
and
add
your
organization
by
clicking
on
the
three
dots
on
your
picture.
So
then
you
can,
you
can
do
it
so
now.
Let
me
give
you
a
little
background.
A
Boulder
canty
started
this
process
by
inviting
them
non-profits
in
the
community
that
have
a
and
represent
diverse
networks
and
audience
and
to
form
a
student
committee
to
guide
them
on
how
to
spend
arpa
funding.
These
partners
have
co-designed
and
have
really
dried.
This
process
and
we
have
ensured
that
the
voices
of
the
community
are
at
the
table.
A
C
D
E
A
A
I
I
This
pandemic
exposed
some
of
the
starkest
inequalities
in
our
community
and
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
it
most
through
our
covent
19
fund.
The
foundation
is
distributed
over
1.9
million
dollars
to
meet
our
community's
needs.
So
far,
of
course,
that
is
nothing
compared
to
the
amount
that
is
available
via
federal
arbor
recovery
funds,
which
present
an
opportunity
to
address
the
social
inequalities
for
those
who
have
disproportionately
suffered
due
to
race,
ethnicity,
ability,
income,
age
and
gender.
I
It
is
our
hope.
It
is
the
foundation's
hope
that
the
arpa
steering
committee
and
working
group
process
not
only
creates
transformational
change
for
our
community,
but
creates
transformational
change
in
how
our
government
collaborates
with
its
residents,
businesses,
students
and
experts.
Like
you,
the
foundation
has
been
working
with
closely
with
boulder
county
on
supporting
this
process,
and
we
want
to
recognize
commissioners,
lochman
levy
and
jones
for
creating
a
truly
collaborative
process
for
allocating
our
recovery
funds
for
to
the
people
who
need
it
most
working
together.
I
G
J
J
The
commitment
from
the
folks
that
you
just
talked
that
you
just
heard
from,
and
certainly
community
foundation
boulder
county,
so
just
to
know
that
we
are
now
officially
moving
into
phase
two,
despite
the
other
challenges
that
our
community
is
facing.
I
just
welcome
each
of
you
today
and
we
are
here
to
build
solutions.
We
are
here
to
be
innovative,
we're
here
to
jump
out
of
the
box
and
also
stay
within
our
federal
guidelines
which
we'll
get
to
hear
about.
J
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again
and
appreciate
all
the
time
from
not
only
the
steering
committee
meeting,
these
steering
committee
folks,
but
also
the
working
groups
and
everybody
else-
that's
been
in
your
circle
and
your
networks
that
have
been
part
of
this
process
from
the
very
beginning.
Thank
you.
K
This
inclusive
community
driven
process
is
the
knowledge
that
the
effects
of
the
pandemic
fell
disproportionately
on
on
people
in
boulder
county
who
had
less
financial
means
it
felt
disproportionately
on
people
of
color
and
that
the
fact
that
it
did
that
was
a
reflection
of
the
inequities
in
our
economy
and
in
the
ability
to
access
services
and
and
and
have
access
to
health
care.
And
so
this
is
our
opportunity
to
try
to
address
a
portion
of
that
inequity.
K
53
million
dollars
isn't
enough,
but
at
least
we
can
start
thinking
about
how
we
can
change
some
of
the
most
important
things
in
boulder
county
that
create
a
foundation
for
health
equity
and
address
those
social
determinants
of
health,
which
had
such
a
strong
effect
on
who
got
sick
and
who
did
not.
Who
had
access
to
health
care
and
who
did
not.
Who
was
able
to
get
to
a
vaccine
clinic
and
who
could
not
who
had
to
work
and
who
could
isolate.
L
L
On
real
people-
and
that's
what's
so
important
about
this
work
and
I
haven't-
I
could
not
think
of
any
other
time
where
the
federal
government,
perhaps
in
the
downturn,
a
couple
what
two
decades
ago,
that
put
that
kind
of
money
forward,
but
not
that
the
county
could
have
a
strong
say
in
where
it
goes,
and
so
this
is
a
real
opportunity
for
us.
It's
it's
one
time
so-called
one-time
money.
It
goes
on
for
four
years,
but
there
have
been.
B
L
Lot
of
impacts
to
people
in
boulder
county-
and
this
is
a
chance
for
us
to
analyze
those
and
address
those
impacts
and
try
to
come
out
even
better.
On
the
other
side
of
this
you
know,
I've
talked
to
I've
talked
about
my
cancer.
When
you
get
knocked
down
you
get
up,
then
you
come
try
to
come
back
stronger.
I
had
survived
two
cancers,
and
I
think
this
is
the
same
thing.
I
think
we
really
need
to
think
about
how
we
help
people
and
it
has
been
an
inequitable
impact.
L
People
with
higher
incomes
are
doing
just
fine.
People
with
lower
impact
incomes
have
taken
the
brunt
of
this,
so
this
is
a
real
opportunity
for
us
and
I'm
just
appreciative
of
all
of
you
willing
to
give
your
time.
So
we
make
a
real
informed
decision
up
front
on
what
this
is.
It's
taken
us
a
little
longer
and
I
want
to
appreciate
marta
for
all
the
work
she
put
into
this
from
the
beginning,
but
it
it's
just
so
important
to
get
right.
L
G
And
we
are
the
organization
that
was
brought
in
by
boulder
county
with
the
support
of
the
community
foundation
of
boulder
county
to
help
guide
this
process.
We
have
a
packed
agenda
for
you
today.
Our
morning
will
begin
with
the
foundational
knowledge
that
you
need
to
support
your
group's
work,
such
as
understanding
the
federal
arbor
requirements,
the
information
we
have
already
heard
during
our
public
engagement
process,
this
fall
and
how
our
response
can
center
equity
and
an
overview
of
the
community
members
who
have
been
most
affected
by
the
pandemic.
G
G
Looking
ahead,
each
working
group
will
meet
twice
more
before
the
final
recommendations
are
developed.
Each
working
group
is
co-led
by
a
community
expert
and
a
boulder
county
agency
leader
they'll,
be
leading
you
through
the
process
rebuild
by
design
and
the
county's
engagement
team
are
here
to
support
that
work.
A
few
logistics
to
go
over
for
today
and
I
have
a
list
of
them
so
please
bear
with
me:
we've
all
been
very
used
to
zoom
for
quite
a
while.
G
Now,
as
as
commissioner
jones
said
two
years,
it's
quite
amazing,
so
just
a
short
reminder
to
make
sure
that
you
are
muted
in
a
big
meeting
like
this.
The
next
is
that
we're
going
to
do
our
best
to
keep
on
time.
You
have
a
time
keeper
and
isa
from
the
county's
engagement
staff
is
going
to
help
with
that.
Aisha
can
raise
your
hands.
We
have
set
up
ample
q
a
time
at
the
end
of
the
morning
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
afternoon
session.
G
So
if
you
have
a
question
that
can
be
later
on
can
be
handled
later
on,
please
write
it
down
and
let
us
know
afterwards,
but
if
it's
something
burning,
of
course,
you
can
do
it
at
the
time.
The
chat
function
in
zoom
is
open.
However,
remind
you
to
hold
your
concentration
in
the
main
room
with
the
speaker
as
much
as
possible.
G
G
G
G
The
arper
steering
committee
has
been
meeting
now
for
quite
a
few
months
since
the
summer,
and
it
had
many
conversations
about
how
this
funding
could
be
used
to
be
the
most
transformational.
So
here
are
goals
that
were
set
by
the
steering
committee
and
the
commissioners,
and
we
hope
that
this
entire
process
can
help
us
reach
the
goals.
The
first
one
is
to
be
transformational.
G
This
is
probably
the
most
important
one.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
really
making
change
for
the
people
who
have
been
impacted
the
most
during
the
pandemics.
The
second
is
that
it
strikes
a
balance
between
long-term
transformational,
change
and
short-term
immediate
relief.
We
know
our
community
members
are
still
in
crisis
mode
and
they
need
our
help.
The
third
is
that
it
could
be
deployed
easily
to
make
sure
that
we're
helping
folks
quickly,
we
want
to
ensure
that
our
programs
are
sustainable.
G
So
when
arpa
funding
runs
out,
we're
not
leaving
a
huge
hole
for
the
county
to
try
and
fill
that
our
programs
and
ideas
focus
on
equity
and
addressing
the
racial,
economic
and
health
disparities
that
it
leverages
already
completed,
plans
and
research.
That
has
been
going
on
through
our
community
and
that
it's
groundbreaking,
something
that
the
government
wouldn't
have
done
on
their
own.
G
N
N
N
We
look
at
the
treasury
final
rule
that
came
out
in
january
and
programmatic
or
reporting
and
compliance
guidance
from
last
summer,
so
next
slide
and
we
were
allocated
a
little
more
than
63
million.
You
heard,
commissioner
levy
mention
53
million,
and
that's
because
we've
already
allocated
about
5.6
million
out
into
the
community
for
immediate
needs
and
some
in
our
organization
as
well
and
in
public
health.
N
These
dates
are
important
because
we
can
pay
for
expenses
from
march
3rd.
So
in
some
cases
we
can
pay
for
expenses
that
have
already
occurred
march
3rd
2021.
All
all
funds
have
to
be
obligated.
That
means
in
a
contract
or
a
purchase
order
issued
by
december
31st
2024
and
then
projects
completed
by
december
31st
2026
next
slide,
and
this
is
how
treasury
talks
about
the
allowable
uses.
In
the
final
rule.
They
there's
this
very
large
public
health
and
economic
response
category.
N
So
that's
for
attending
to
public
public
health
mitigation
response
recovery
and
then
the
negative
economic
impacts
and
a
lot
of
your
relevant
eligible
categories
are
in
that
ginormous
category
there's
also
a
premium
pay
for
essential
workers
category
and
I
know
ideas
around
that
have
been
proposed
and
I'm
slowing
down
for
the
interpreters,
and
I
apologize.
I
even
have
a
sticky
note
here
that
says
slowly
and
I
haven't
been
doing
that.
N
There's
also
a
very
large
category
called
water
sewer
and
broadband
infrastructure
with
parameters
around
that
and
I'm
including
that
here,
because
some
housing,
affordability
projects
could
include
water
and
sewer
infrastructure,
and
we've
heard
about
the
need
for
broadband,
especially
in
areas
that
don't
have
good
broadband
next
slide.
Please
and
then
that
ginormous
category,
their
public
health
and
economic
impacts
is
broken
out
into
these
sub
categories:
behavioral
health.
N
So
that's
the
mental
health
and
social
resilience
group
assistance
to
individuals
and
households,
small
businesses
non-profits,
I
bolded
those-
because
those
are
most
relevant
for
you
today
next
slide,
and
then
I
do
want
to
talk
about
a
couple
of
overarching
things
with
arpa
and
that
is
equity,
which
you've
heard
many
people
mention
already
today.
These
funds
really
are
designed
to
address
disparate
impacts
and
and
to
to
build
equity
in
our
community.
N
These
this
slide.
This
language
is
directly
from
treasury
guidance.
So
these
are
things
that
we
have
to
report
to
treasury,
both
with
the
overall
pot
of
funds
and
within
projects
and
programs.
So
how
are
we
pre
and
and
treasury
talk?
There
are
many
aspects
of
eligibility
or
equity.
I
I
apologize
and
treasury
talks
about
economic
and
racial
equity
and
how
we
prioritize
that
as
a
goal
and
how
we
will
produce
meaningful
equity
results
at
scale
and
and
strategies,
so
strategies
would
be
like.
Are
we
targeting
historically
underserved
marginalized
populations?
N
N
I
will
say,
though
mental
health
and
substance
use
services
are
not
constrained
and
public
health
is
not
constrained
like
response
and
mitigation
and
the
the
income.
There
is
just
there
for
your
information,
so
some
project
areas
are
constrained
to
low
to
moderate
income.
Some
are
constrained
to
low
income.
You
don't
need
to
worry
about
that.
You
just
need
to
know
that
there
are
income
constraints.
N
All
right,
I
think
we're
about
to
next
slide
dive
into
the
specific
working
groups.
This
is
economic
challenges,
and
what
I'm
going
to
do
here
is
tell
you
everything,
that's
eligible
in
this
category,
and
this
is
the
biggest
broadest
one.
So
next
slide
so
in
this
category,
you'll
find
individual
and
household
assistance
such
as
food
assistance,
rent
mortgage
utility,
cash
assistance,
child
care
assistance
and
facilities
and
internet
access.
I
do
want
to
let
folks
know
that
boulder
county
has
22
million
dollars
of
emergency
rental
assistance,
including
utilities.
N
So
we
should
be
thinking
of
that
pot
before
arpa
for
rent
assistance
next
slide,
there's
a
large
or
a
broad
job-seeking
job
training
category
that
has
a
range
of
things,
including
like
providing
child
care
and
transportation
to
and
from
a
job
site
or
interview
incentives
for
workers,
subsidized
employment
grants
to
hire
assistance
to
help
unemployed,
individuals
start
small
businesses.
So
it's
a
broad
category
as
well
next
slide,
and
then
here
is
aid
to
businesses.
So
again,
this
one
is
constrained
because
we
can't
say
we're
just
going
to
help
all
businesses
in
boulder
county.
N
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
the
one
of
the
on
an
increased
cost.
It'll
show
uncompensated
increases
in
services
needs,
so
a
lot
of
our
non-profits
has
had
have
had
demand
for
increased
services,
but
not
necessarily
money
to
hire,
or
you
know,
to
fund
those
services
so
otherwise
very
similar
to
the
business
assistance.
Category
next
slide
all
right
premium
pay,
and
we
have
heard
this
recommended
from
folks.
So
I
just
wanted
to
provide
you
with
the
parameters
here.
N
They
are
is
for
people
who
were
necessary
to
maintain
operations,
so
it's
in
person
work
only
and
treasury
enumerates.
A
lot
here
are
a
hand,
a
handful
of
sectors,
treasury
enumerates
a
number
more
in
their
guidance,
but
really
it's
the
face-to-face
in
person
had
to
keep
going
to
work.
There
are
some
income
constraints,
it's
that
they
can't
be
earning
more
than
150
percent,
the
state
average
for
that
occupation.
So
some
constraints
there
next
slide
all
right,
so
that
one
was
the
broadest
category.
N
Now
we'll
go
to
housing,
affordability,
which
is
a
little
more
straightforward,
but
still
somewhat
broad.
So
here
you
have
development
preservation
and
acquisition
of
so
the
whole
continuum
there
of
affordable
housing.
I
put
rent
mortgage
utility
here
as
well,
because
this
group
could
also
talk
about
that
delinquent
property
taxes.
Treasury
calls
that
out
counseling
and
legal
aid
services
for
people
who
are
unhoused
permanently
supportive
housing.
N
So
in
the
bigger
description
of
the
category,
it's
behavioral
health,
so
here
again,
really
quite
broad,
so,
prevention
treatment,
diversion
programs,
outreach
harm
reduction,
recovery,
support,
work
in
schools
with
youth,
pregnant
women,
work
with
pregnant
women
or
infants
born
with
neonatal
abstinence
syndrome,
peer
support
groups,
recovery,
housing
hotline
services
and
then
opioid
use
disorder,
prevention,
treatment,
harm
reduction
and
recovery.
So
quite
a
broad
category
there
and
then
there's
another
slide
of
it.
N
Although
there
are
other
federal
funds
for
that,
so
we
would
look
to
that
first
before
arpa
and
then
broadband
infrastructure,
investments
and
treasury
goes
quite
into
the
weeds
on
connection
speed
and
different
things
about
that.
That's
very
technical
that
I
know
we
have
resources
that
could
talk
to
that
working
group.
If
you
are
exploring
broadband
but
pretty
broad
as
well.
Okay,
next
slide
all
right,
that's
it!
Those
are
my
slides.
N
N
I
know
that
was
a
lot
of
information
focus
on
you
know,
what's
eligible
in
your
in
your
bucket
there
and
and
just
to
let
you
know
I'll
be
coming
to
the
different
working
groups.
So
if
questions
come
up
when
you're
on,
when
you're
in
your
working
group,
save
those
and
I'll
come
answer,
those
in
each
working
group
suicide
provision-
yes
kathy.
N
O
Great
thanks,
amy.
I
think
we
can
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
Then
yeah
good
morning,
everybody,
it's
great
to
be
here
with
you,
as
you
embark
on
this
journey
to
help
determine
how
the
federal
pandemic
relief
funding
here
that
boulder
county
has
received
can
best
and
most
equitably
address
the
impacts
the
pandemic
on
our
community.
O
O
O
We
still
hear
that
hospital
hospitals
are
stressed
and
that
we're
still
reporting
deaths
in
our
community
and
so
just
want
to
keep
this
front
and
center.
That
disease
is
still
here
in
our
community
next
slide.
Please
I'll
just
quickly
mention
a
couple
other
statistics
that
are
great
news
that
we
have
over
300
000
people
in
boulder
county
have
at
least
a
partial
course
of
vaccination,
and
that's
about
93
and
so
we're
tracking
well
in
terms
of
coverage
of
vaccination.
O
O
O
So
this
is
the
results
from
the
colorado
health,
institute's,
2021
cholera,
health
access
survey,
which
they
conduct
every
two
years.
It's
a
survey
of
coloradans
from
across
the
state
on
important
health
access
issues.
I
just
include
this
data
to
remind
us
of
the
issues
of
discrimination
that
still
affects
so
many
people
in
our
state
related
to
many
factors
like
income,
ethnic
background,
race,
disability,
age,
experience
with
violence,
abuse,
gender,
gender
identity
and
sexual
orientation.
O
It
is
important
that
any
intervention
that
your
working
groups
design
must
ensure
equitable
access
and
treatment
for
all
community
members
of
all
backgrounds
and
experiences,
and
next
slide,
so
we'll
we'll
jump
into
what
is
the
mental
health
and
social
resilience
cat
working
group?
I
hear
I
have
it
labeled
as
behavioral
health.
Next
slide.
O
O
Just
in
terms
of
the
impact
of
pandemic
on
the
mental
health
of
our
young
people
in
boulder
county
that
we've
seen,
we
saw
such
an
increase
of
suicide
attempts
amongst
young
people
during
the
pandemic,
and
then,
though,
most
schools
are
now
meeting
in
person
and
youth
are
less
isolated.
Many
many
mental
health
providers
are
still
reporting
very
full
caseloads
and
backlogs
in
both
the
public
and
private
provider
settings
in
terms
of
serving
youth
colorado.
O
Every
state,
including
colorado,
has
reported
an
increase
of
overdose
deaths
and
other
problems
driven
by
illicit
fentanyl,
fentanyl,
analogs,
methamphetamine,
cocaine
and
often
in
combination
over
here
locally.
Our
own
harm
reduction
and
syringe
access
program
saw
an
increase
in
the
number
of
syringes
going
out
in
the
peak
of
the
pandemic
compared
to
the
previous
year
and
has
been
seeing
a
slight
decrease
in
numbers
of
clients
participating
in
the
program,
though
next
slide.
O
So
this
is
quite
a
jump
to
go
from
the
mental
health
and
substance
use
impacts
to
I
know
to
broadband
statistics,
but
within
that
same
working
group
for
social
resilience,
you
will
be
looking
at
broadband
access
and
I'm
just
showing
this
slide
as
a
note
that
there's
much
more
robust
data
available
about
broadband
access.
This
was
created
by
a
consultant
for
boulder
county
and
sure
there's
some
sharing
of
indicators
around
how
a
digital
divide
index
is
calculated.
O
O
O
So
this
is
again
a
slide
that
demonstrates
disparity
in
terms
of
the
impact
of
the
pandemic
on
people
by
income,
so
that
lower
blue
line
represents
people
earning
under
27
000
per
year.
The
middle
green
line
represents
people
earning
between
27
and
60
000
a
year,
and
the
upper
red
line
is
people
making
more
than
sixty
thousand
dollars
a
year.
O
O
This
is
self-reported
data
in
terms
of
people,
reporting
struggling
to
pay
for
necessities
by
race
and
by
ethnicity,
and
you
can
see
there's
a
great
disparity
across
across
demographic
groups.
Also,
the
u.s
census
for
bureau
has
reported
that
the
economic
impact
was
not
felt
equally
and
that
the
joint
center
for
housing
studies
of
harvard
university
says
quote
people
of
color,
particularly
latin.
O
Additionally,
as
as
you
know,
the
child
care
sector
was
already
struggling
even
prior
to
the
pandemic,
but
this
is
data
from
again
from
the
2021
carl
health
access
survey,
that
that
shows
that
child
care
is
a
serious,
serious
concern
for
almost
one
half
of
coloradans,
and
then
this
question
around.
What
is
the
reason
why
folks
can't
access
child
care
really
looking
pointing
to
either
affordability
or
being
closed
during
the
pandemic?
O
Additionally,
here
in
colorado,
the
even
in
2019,
the
bipartisan
economic
policy
institute,
reported
that
the
cost
of
child
care
it
across
the
50
states
in
washington
to
see
a
report
that
in
colorado
our
average
cost
of
child
care,
was
15
325
dollars
a
year
and
that's
the
eighth
highest
in
the
us.
Among
the
50
states
in
washington
dc.
O
Additionally,
the
meeting
cost
of
a
single
family
home
more
than
doubled,
from
2003
to
2019
in
louisville,
lafayette
and
superior.
So
I
think
I'm
just
here
we
go,
and
this
is
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
some
information
from
the
colorado
health
foundation
and
then
I'll
describe
what
you're
seeing
here
in
terms
of
rental
assistance
which
which
leslie
alluded
to.
O
O
The
2021
annual
point
in
time
count
which
captured
shelter
data
only
this
year
due
to
coven
19,
showed
an
increase
of
individual
staying
in
shelters
on
a
single
night
and
showed
a
drastic
increase
in
those
experiencing
homelessness
for
the
first
time.
So
this
is
across
the
seven
county
metro
region,
which
saw
an
increase
of
40
percent
for
people,
staying
emergency
shelters
on
a
single
night
for
a
total
of
four
thousand
and
seventy
two,
and
this
graphic
is
from
a
2020
homeless.
Solutions
for
boulder
county
survey
report
homeless.
O
O
They
have
the
same
eligibility
categories
as
we
do
as
as
a
local
government
and
that
they're
planning
to
distribute
approximately
almost
2
billion
this
year
and
that
that
some
of
that
is
being
determined
through
what
the
general
assembly
or
the
legislature's
2021
transformational
task
forces.
So,
within
the
bayer
health
category,
they're
going
to
be
expending
about
450
million
and
there
is
a
category
within
there
that
would
be
local
and
nonprofit
grants.
Similarly,
within
the
housing
category,
there's
400
million
available
and
there
will
also
be
some
grants
for
local
governments
and
non-profits.
G
H
Okay,
so
hi
everyone,
I'm
johanna,
lawton
again
from
rebuild
by
design
the
organization
that
was
brought
in
at
the
start
of
this
process
to
help
co-design
and
facilitate
a
community
engagement
process
to
hear
how
the
community
was
impacted
by
the
pandemic
and
a
lot
of
the
information
I'm
going
to
talk
about
will
be
familiar
to
many
of
you.
A
lot
of
this
is
written
up
in
our
art
by
steering
committee
preliminary
engagement
report,
which
is
in
your
welcome
packet.
It
can
also
be
found
on
the
county's
website.
H
It
will
also
be
in
the
google
drive.
So
if
you'd
like
to
read
more
details
about
some
of
the
topics
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about,
I
encourage
you
to
read
through
that
report.
Also,
this
process
am
my
talk,
will
sound
a
little
bit
familiar
because
many
of
you
actually
played
a
role
in
it
in
different
ways.
H
So
we
had
a
very,
very
tight
timeline
for
this.
As
some
of
you
may
recall,
it
seemed
to
fly
by
back.
In
august,
we
were
able
to
identify
these
partners
to
begin
this
process
and
we
co-designed
it
together,
meeting
weekly
and
then
we
created
materials
and
translated
those
we
design,
outreach,
engagement
events
and
then
it
very
quickly
brought
all
that
information
together
into
a
final
report
that
was
presented
to
bocc
and
again.
If
you
want
to
see
that
final
presentation,
that's
also
in
your
welcome
packets,
and
we
can
show
you
wearing
the
google
drive.
H
You
can
find
those
as
well
and
at
the
start
of
this
process,
we
decided
to
highlight
some
of
those
target
communities
that
were
really
impacted
by
the
pandemic
and,
as
you
heard
from
summer's
presentation,
we
had
all
this
fantastic
data
to
see
who
those
communities
were,
but
also
the
lived
experience
of
our
partners
to
see
who
were
they
seeing
and
hearing
from
on
a
regular
basis
that
were
really
struggling
during
this
time.
And
this
is
not
an
exhaustive
list
by
any
means.
H
This
just
helped
us
start
to
put
some
faces
to
the
groups
that
we
should
conduct
extra
outreach
to,
and
then
we
also
co-identified
some
best
practices
for
community
engagement
and
many
of
those
carry
over
into
this
process
as
well.
But
again,
this
is
not
an
exhaustive
list
and
where
it's
always
a
dynamic
list
that
we're
adding
to
of
some
of
the
best
practices
we
would
hold
ourselves
accountable
to
throughout
the
entire
process.
H
H
So
we
made
everything
accessible
online
and
complemented
it
with
in-person
events,
but
we
made
sure
we
had
it
translated
into
spanish
and
nepalese
and
distributed
it
as
widely
as
we
could
through
the
networks
through
our
partners,
and
we
set
some
high
goals.
We
thought
six
weeks.
Let's
try
and
get
1500
surveys,
30
events.
H
Sorry,
this
is
here
we
go
okay,
so
when
we
collect
our
final
results,
we
were
also
keeping
track
of
the
demographics
of
who
we
were
reaching
with
our
outreach.
The
participants
were
predominantly
white,
but
we
did
have
a
decent
participation
from
the
latino
latina
hispanic
spanish
community
at
14,
which
was
largely
we
think,
due
to
having
bilingual
cultural
brokers
throughout
the
process.
H
We
also
had
11
of
participants
identify
as
having
a
disability
or
accessibility
needs.
28
of
participants
indicated
they
were
front
line
workers.
Our
respondents
were
primarily
female
and
were
heterosexual,
geo
geography
wise.
We
had
a
pretty
wide
distribution
of
responses,
although
they
were
mostly
centered
in
some
of
the
cities,
but
we
did
find
we
did
get
19
of
the
responses
from
west
boulder
county,
which
again
I'm
going
to
attribute
to
the
amazing
women
from
peak
to
peak
who
were
coming
up
with
all
sorts
of
creative
ways
to
talk
to
people.
H
So
all
of
our
questions
were
open-ended
and
what
we
did
with
those
responses
was
categorize
them
under
the
arpa
guideline,
buckets
that
you
saw
earlier
in
leslie's
presentation
so
that
we
could
start
to
see
some
general
trends
among
the
responses,
and
we
found
that
largely
across
every
demographic
that
we
could
break
it
down
by
people
were
struggling
or
found
the
biggest
challenges
of
living
in
boulder
county
to
be
negative.
Economic
impacts,
affordable
housing,
the
cost
of
living,
public
health,
child
care,
and
then,
when
we
asked
about
the
same
the
same
question.
H
But
during
the
pandemic
we
found
similar
responses.
Just
all
those
issues
were
magnified
a
ton
of
responses
included
things
like
getting
priced
out
of
the
county
due
to
the
rising
housing
costs,
pandemic,
related
job
losses
or
not
being
able
to
hire
workforces
overcrowding
in
homes
and
we'll
go
into
some
more
of
the
responses.
Later
on.
H
We
also
looked
at
where
people
were
receiving
were
receiving
support
during
the
pandemic
and,
interestingly,
we
found
that
primarily
our
respondents
said
they
relied
on
family
and
loved
ones
and
then
friends
and
neighbors
their
jobs
throughout
the
pandemic.
But
then,
when
we
looked
specifically
at
the
respondents
who
filled
out
the
spanish
language
survey,
we
found
that
the
those
respondents
primarily
relied
on
local
nonprofits
and
organizations.
H
And
then,
finally,
our
fifth
question
was
what
single
action
can
boulder
county
take
to
benefit
you,
your
family
or
your
business?
And
again
these
are
just
the
broad
categories
we
found
that
most
respondents
said
gave
us
ideas
relating
to
affordable
housing,
economic
support
and
then
public
health
are,
and
within
that
bucket
it
was
primarily
mental
health.
H
P
P
P
It
was
a
big
impact
economically
for
them
to
keep
their
staff
and
social
isolation
remained
a
big
challenge
for
many
in
the
community,
as
well
as
the
mental
health
and
the
technological
divide
they
were.
They
were
part
of
this.
The
mountain
community
have
a
big
social
isolation
and
and
resources.
So
we
saw
a
big
big
challenge
there.
P
P
P
P
Q
P
Hi
katie,
yes,
we
reached
out
to
a
few
and
we
went
there.
Unfortunately,
of
course,
due
to
timing,
we
couldn't
talk
to
a
few
people
due
to
to
the
time
we
were
there,
but
as
well.
My
partner
ignacio,
attended
an
event.
It
was
in
a
church
about
guns
that
they
turned
guns
into
art
and
he
was
able
to
collect
information
from
community
members.
That
way,
of
course
it
was.
It
was
the
timeline.
P
G
G
Thank
you,
johanna,
thank
you
for
being
so
prompt.
We
have
two
more
short
presentations
and
then
we
have
time
for
a
discussion
about
anything
that
you've
heard
so
far
this
morning
or
any
questions
that
you
have
about
the
process
or
logistics
or
anything
anything
that
we
can
answer
for
you.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
dr
menda,
shannon
who's,
a
boulder
county,
community
engagement,
specialist
and
she's,
going
to
talk
about
equity
and
accessibility
in
this
process.
R
R
R
It
was
also
heartfelt
to
hear
the
community
engagement
piece
and
know
that
there
are
folks
really
really
working
hard
to
engage
and
elevate,
the
voices
that
are
not
being
at
the
table
or
heard
or
because
of
many
reasons
for
fear
or
the
feeling
of
not
being
included
and
knowing
that
a
time
after
after
time,
what
I
want
to
talk
about
is
very
briefly
about
the
process
of
equity,
and
we
know
that
equity
is
about.
How
do
we
address
inequalities?
R
E
To
expand
on
what
dr
liz
has
started
with
we've
heard
a
lot
this
morning
about
racial
inequities
and
those
are
all
very
important
and
the
things
that
we'll
talk
about
and
be
mindful,
but
we
also
have
to
remember
that
inclusivity
and
equity
work
also
involves
people
with
disabilities
as
well.
People
of
all
abilities,
an
accessible
environment
is
an
environment
where
people
of
all
abilities
have
the
same
opportunities
to
get
the
same.
E
Information
engage
in
the
same
interactions
and
engage
have
the
same
opportunities
to
participate
in
community
life,
whatever
that
looks
like,
and
it
is
equally
effective
for
all
every
one
of
us.
Every
single
person
in
this
room
is
differently
abled,
some
are
more
visible
than
others,
and
we
know
that
the
pandemic,
while
this
wasn't
highlighted
as
much
in
the
slide
decks
from
earlier
this
morning,
we
do
know
that
the
pandemic
has
disproportionately
impacted
people
with
disabilities
in
all
kinds
of
ways.
E
People
with
disabilities
have
historically
been
emotionalized
and
underserved
part
of
our
community,
and
this
pandemic
has
certainly
highlighted
that
the
social
isolation,
the
inequitable
access
to
technology,
loss
of
employment
so
on
and
so
forth,
and
so
as
we
go
forward
and
we
have
conversations
and
we
listen
to
doctor
list,
talk
about
equity
and
inclusivity
work
and
then
certainly
later
when
we
start
to
build
out
recommendations
and
proposals.
It's
very
important
that
we
we
remember
that
all
of
this
needs
to
also
be
relevant
and
beneficial
for
all
community
members,
including
people
with
disabilities.
R
You
know
happening
so
I'm
inviting
you
to
come
at
this
brief
couple
of
few
minutes
with
your
not
only
your
mind
and
your
heart,
but
your
soul,
your
sense
of
what
in
your
culture
what
it
means
to
experience
the
racism
both
at
school
at
the
doctor's
any
place
that
you
go
to
and
really
think
about
how?
Perhaps
you
don't
have
that
experience
as
well
thinking
about
what
are
the
intersectional
pieces
when
it
comes
when
you're
framing
equity?
R
R
When
we
think
about
the
components
of
you
know
being
able
to
promote
equitable
outcomes,
a
lot
of
us
really
we
we
want
to
help.
We
know
that
there
are
communities
and
families
and
businesses
and
individuals
who
are
in
crisis,
so
we
will
try
to
lean
in
into
all
right.
Let
me
let
me
embrace
the
goals.
R
R
R
So
that's
number
one
number
two
is
about,
so
all
right,
we're
at
the
working
groups.
We
know
that
we're
here
we're
here
as
the
reps
for
many
many
individuals
and
and
and
folks,
but
who
isn't
there?
Who
is
not
at
the
table
to
decide
and
to
help
address
the
bias
in
the
system?
Who
isn't
there
to
interrupt
the
regular
process
and
flow
of
everyday
business?
R
R
R
So
in
my
culture,
mental
health
is
about
a
church,
and
you
know
healers,
it's
not
always
about
the
therapist
in
my
culture.
If
we
need
to
go
to
the
food
pantry,
I
don't
want
pasta,
I
don't
want
the
beans
in
the
cans.
I
need
some
rice,
some,
you
know
some
herbs,
some,
the
seasonings,
that's
what
I
need
so
really
trying
to
expand.
R
H
H
H
I
think
maybe
just
keeping
the
screen
as
it
is
for
now,
because
we've
been
looking
at
slides
a
ton
all
day,
so
just
to
start
off
a
few
things,
I
believe
two
of
the
three
working
groups
have
set
the
follow-up
meetings,
so
the
economic
challenges
group
you
have
already
received
calendar
invites
to
the
subsequent
meetings.
The
mental
health
and
social
resilience
meetings
will
be.
H
Those
invites
will
go
out
during
our
next
break
and
you'll
receive
those
housing
meeting.
I
think
there's
going
to
be
a
follow-up
discussion
to
make
sure
that
everyone
is
set
with
those
dates,
because
there
wasn't
one
that
became
a
clear
front.
Runner
and
when
to
meet
up
so
that'll
be
part
of
your
working
group
discussion.
H
So
that's
the
first
thing
just
want
to
note
that
there
are
going
to
be
two
subsequent
meetings,
as
we
mentioned
for
these
working
groups,
and
those
will
also
be
meetings
that
are
recorded
and
posted
to
the
county
website
for
the
public.
To
view
in
between
that
time,
though,
we
also
expect
that
there
will
be
some
work
and
some
communication
between
all
the
working
group
participants,
so
that
may
entail
research
and
emailing
things
back
and
forth,
and
I'm
sure
each
group
will
end
up
getting
into
their
own
groove
of
communicating
with
each
other.
H
But
we
are
all
going
to
be
resources
for
you
all
to
also
help
with
that
flow
of
communication
and
help
with
the
flow
of
work.
So
myself
and
amy,
dr
liz,
iesa
and
sophia
are
going
to
be
supporting
those
groups
to
help
with
some
of
those
administrative
things
and
just
as
questions
come
up
will
be
at
least
one
or
two
of
us
will
be
at
each
of
the
meetings
to
help
with
those.
H
H
When
those
determinations
are
made,
that
is,
we
hope,
it'll
be,
you
know
shared
out
from
them,
but
if
others
have
questions
along
the
way
and
you're
uncertain
of
how
to
interact
with
press
just,
let
us
know
all
right
and
then
I
think
the
last
thing
that
we're
going
to
go
into
is
the
google
drive
and
I
will
pull
up
my
screen
for
that.
We're
going
to
put
some
these
slides
that
I'm
about
to
show.
H
We
will
put
the
slides
into
the
google
drive
as
well.
Oh
sorry
before
I
before
I
actually
move
on
to
it.
I
will
also
add
a
quick
mention
that,
in
terms
of
places
you
can
find
information
again.
We
always
recommend
returning
to
the
county
website,
that's
where
we
will
try
and
post
all
the
update
information
about
meetings
and
where
we
are
in
the
process.
As
I
mentioned,
the
community
engagement
team
is
here
to
support
and
the
press
team
sofia
lne
is
here
who's
going
to
be
able
to
support
as
well.
H
So
I
will
not
go
into
a
full-on
tutorial
on
how
to
use
google
drive,
but
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
a
you
know
groundwork
for
understanding
how
to
use
it
again.
We
are
navigating
a
very
collaborative
process
in
a
virtual
space,
which
is
a
new
challenge
that
constantly
has
more
challenges
unfolding.
H
So
we
do
ask
for
your
patience
as
we
make
sure
that
everyone
will
end
up
being
set
up
to
make
sure
that
they
have
access.
Have
any
issues
you
can.
Let
us
know
if
you
are
very
familiar
using
google
drive
on
a
regular
basis.
This
may
be
a
moment
to
tune
out
for
a
second,
but
we
just
want
to
make
sure
everyone
knows
where
it
is
and
how
to
find
things.
So
we
highly
recommend
to
make
your
lives
a
little
easier
saving
the
folders
that
are
going
to
be
shared
with
you.
H
If
you're
used
to
using
google
drive
adding
a
shortcut,
as
you
see
on
the
screen
here
by
right
clicking
on
the
name
of
the
folder,
adding
that
shortcut
to
your
drive
is
super
helpful.
Then
it's
right
there.
When
you
open
up
your
google
drive
or
if
you
prefer,
you
can
add
a
bookmark
and
I
apologize.
This
is
a
mac
and
it
may
be
different
on
other
computers
and
I'm
not
entirely
sure
about
happy
to
troubleshoot
with
anyone
who
wants
to
figure
out
how
to
bookmark
the
tab
itself
on
your
computer.
H
H
Commenting
on
documents
is
very
simple:
you
can
just
go
to
the
new
button
and
that's
where
you'll
see
the
options
to
create
a
new
folder
to
upload
a
file
and
then
to
create
items.
All
of
the
google
docs
are
very
similar
to
other
platforms.
You
might
be
used
to
such
as
microsoft
word
and
excel
powerpoint.
H
And
then,
once
you
have
documents
that
you've
made
and
you
would
like
to
share
them
with
your
fellow
working
group
members,
you
can
go
to
the
top
right
and
you'll
have
a
share
option,
and
then
you
can
add
the
person's
email.
You
can
also
copy
the
link
at
the
bottom
right,
and
that
will
that
you
can
send
to
your
fellow
collaborators
and
they
will
be
able
to
open
the
document
as
well,
once
you've
shared
it
with.
H
This
is
the
easiest
way
we
find
for
people
to
collaborate,
so
everyone
can
see
each
other's
suggestions
is
when
you
are
typing.
If
you
want
to
highlight
a
word
and
then
on
the
right
side,
you'll
have
the
option
to
add
a
comment
that
allows
you
just
to
add
comments.
If
you
do
the,
what
is
it
the
app
sign
and
then
their
name,
you
can
tag
the
actual
individual
and
then,
if
you
click
on
the
green
icon,
it
has
like
a
little
pen
in
it.
H
B
G
A
comment
in
google:
you
have
to
click
post
afterwards.
So
in
word,
if
you
add
a
comment,
it's
automatically
there,
but
in
google.
If
you
have
to
press
the
blue
button
that
says
post
this
gives
you
an
opportunity
to
edit.
If
you
need
it.
If
you
do
need
to
edit
the
comments,
you
can
just
go
back
to
the
comment
and
you
can
press
edit,
which
is
the
three
dots
on
the
top
right
of
your
comment.
H
Thank
you
and
then
the
last
thing
I'll
add
with
that
is
in
the
google
drive.
You
will
be
able
to
upload
the
documents
you
all
want
to
work
on
together,
but
we
will
also
continue
to
upload
resources
that
we
think
are
useful
to
each
of
your
groups
and
we're
going
to
try
and
make
sure
we
have
already
a
number
of
resources
available
to
you.
H
So
that
will
include
the
presentations
from
today
and
I
will
upload
that
I
rise
there's
one
small
edit
I
have
to
make
before
I
can
finally
convert
it
to
a
pdf
and
make
sure
it's
in
the
folders,
but
that
will
be
available
for
everyone.
We
will
make
sure
that
you
have
access
to
again
the
original
presentations
from
to,
along
with
the
preliminary
engagement
report.
H
H
Q
I
I
I'm
sorry,
I
have
a
question
I
I
am
a
community
member
and
I'm
meeting
with
other
grassroots
mental
health
community
members
from
oh
gosh,
six
or
seven
organizations.
Grassroots
organizations
is
this:
am
I
allowed
to
share
the
documents
or
are
these
confidential
and
internal
to
the
working
group.
G
Q
G
G
I
think
you
can
let
them
know
what's
going
on
and
let
them
know
that
none
of
the
none
of
the
decisions
have
been
made
until
the
end.
You
can
definitely
explain
the
structure.
There
are
three
working
groups.
There's
going
to
be
three
meetings
you
can
share
with
them
the
report
or
the
slides
that
joanna
showed
this
morning.
You
have
links
to
that
in
your
welcome
packet.
H
G
F
So
I
have
my
participant
box
open
and
my
chat
box
open,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
raise
your
hand
or
put
something
in
the
chat
I'll
be
tracking
whose
hands
are
coming
up
and
who's
asking
questions
on
chat
and
then
I
would
just
invite
boulder
county
staff
and
possibly
co-chairs
to
jump
in
and
answer
questions
as
they
come
up.
I'm
not
going
to
know
specifically
who
really
wants
to
answer
the
questions.
Try
to
remember
to
lower
your
hand,
remember
mutant
and
mute,
and
I
think
that's
it.
F
T
Nice
to
see
you
thank
you.
One
of
my
questions
has
to
do
with
as
you're
presenting
this
morning,
just
where
there's
other
dollars
already
allocated
by
the
county,
so
that
we
have
a
good
picture
of
like
what
is
the
budget
and
where
are
there
certain
dollars
already
being
allocated
towards
some
of
these
areas
and
programs?
I
just
think
that
might
be
helpful
moving
forward.
F
N
Yes,
so
we
can
provide
information
on
the
approximately
5.6
million
of
arpa
funding
that
has
already
gone
out.
We
can
definitely
provide
that
and
there
are
other
federal
funding
streams
that
would
be
relevant
for
each
working
group
and
whatever
resources
I
have
that
we
know
where
we
know
that
what
those
are
I'll
make
sure
that
those
are
added
in
the
working
group
folders
as
well
great.
Thank
you.
S
Yeah,
I
also,
if
you
can
add,
to
adding
to
what
debbie
just
said.
If
you
can
also
add
you
know
what
boulder
is
doing,
I
don't
know
I'm
imagining
longmont
also
received
some
funding,
but
my
my
question
was
more
practical.
Do
we
have
a
schedule
for
the
upcoming
meetings,
or
is
this
something
that
each
working
group
is
going
to
decide
on
people's
availability,
because
it's
very
intense-
and
you
know
I
know
everyone-
has
very
busy
schedules
and
so
do
we
already
have
a
schedule
for
upcoming
meetings
if.
F
Q
Kathy,
I
I
want
to
apologize
for
being
so
full
of
questions.
I'm
not
only
a
community
member,
but
I
like
to
do
interviews
so
a
question
for
me:
is
we
have
these
three
working
groups
looking
at
all
these
great
faces
and
old
friends
that
I'd
love
to
work
with
and
et
cetera,
who
I
know,
are
in
other
working
groups,
and
I
also
noticed
that
that
the
issues
themselves
are
overlapping
and
how
do
we,
as
we
like
to
say,
deal
with
the
silos
that
we
might
be
creating,
and
my
specific
example
is.
Q
G
Thank
you
thanks
so
much
for
that
question.
It's
an
excellent
question.
So
the
co-chairs
are
going
to
meet
every
week
to
do
that.
They're
going
to
take
an
hour
out
of
their
day
on
thursdays
to
come
together
and
talk
about
what's
happening
in
each
of
the
work
groups
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
overlap
or
there
might
be
intentional
overlap.
G
U
Yeah
is
it
possible
to
provide
us
with
a
list
of
things
that
can't
be
funded?
We
saw
a
list
of
kind
of
the
guidelines
that
could,
but
some
questions
that
come
up
are
undocumented
households,
as
as
eligible
or
blended
households,
land,
a
capital.
Is
there
any
like
a
negative
list
or
things
that
you
could
share
with
us.
G
So
on
friday,
you
received
a
link
to
a
document
that
had
catalogued
every
single
idea
that
we
got
in
phase
one
and
leslie
irwin
had
checked
it
between
eligibility
or
potential
eligibility.
Sometimes
an
idea
could
be
funded
if
you
change
it,
just
a
little
bit
and
leslie
is
going
to
be
working
with
each
of
the
working
groups
to
answer
those
questions
throughout
this
process.
So
we
don't
want
to
get
too
far
on
an
idea
that
might
not
be
eligible,
or
we
want
her
input
to
show
us
how
it
could
be
eligible.
F
We
don't
want
to
eliminate
anything
because
we
don't
think
it's
funded,
because
there
are
often
ways
to
fund
things
that
we
aren't
always
aware
of
or
can't
think
of,
and
that's
another
something
that
the
boulder
county
staff
will
help
us
look
at.
So
we
want
to
be
aspirational
and
we
don't
want
to
be
too
tough
on
ourselves
about
asking
for
a
lot
to
start
just
to
make
sure
we're
not
missing
anything.
G
G
You
know
an
arm
extension
to
these
conversations
and
they
have
also
told
us
that
they
very
much
want
to
know
what
folks
are
interested
in,
because
you
might
not
be
able
to
fund
it
through
arpa
funds,
but
you
might
be
able
to
leverage
some
state
funds
or
some
federal
funds
or
boulder
county's
regular
budget.
So
please
do
keep
that
in
your
mind.
N
Who
is
one
of
the
co-leads,
but
there
could
be
some
overlap,
but
the
big
broadband
projects,
I
think,
live
more
in
the
mental
health
and
social
resilience
category
and
then,
oh,
I
was
going
to
clarify
one
other
thing:
treasury
does
not
preclude
expenditures
for
that
benefit.
Undocumented
households
and
boulder
county
has
in
fact
approved
funding
for
undocumented
households
in
the
left
behind
workers
fund,
so
that
is
not
precluded
and
where
it's
not
precluded
explicitly
in
federal
law,
we
can
do
it.
F
N
Yeah,
I
might
need
to
look
into
that
more
explicitly,
but
I
think
so
because
it
would
be
as
part
of
a
larger
housing
development
project
and
that's
part
of
the
pro
process.
Whenever
we
do
affordable
housing
projects,
there
is
that
outreach
component
and
getting
the
community's
feedback
as
well,
so
I'll
say
that
we
can
do
it
with
a
caveat
that
I'll
come
back
to
you.
If
I
look
at
the
guidance
and
find
out
that
we
can't,
but
for
now
the
answer
is
yes,.
B
A
Yeah,
because
I
have
learned
in
my
experience
that
sometimes
with
federal
funding,
you
cannot
provide
a
benefit
directly
to
undocumented
community
members
but,
for
example,
if
they
support
centro,
musta,
the
latino
chamber,
or
things
like
that.
We
can
create
programs
to
involve
these
undocumented
members,
so
they
can
get
the
benefit.
B
H
H
All
right
and
I'll
I'll
take
that
as
I
can
go.
I
was
just
wondering
and
more
out
of
curiosity
who
participated.
You
know
in
phase
one
through
a
community
conversation
or
who
was
familiar
with
the
work
that
happened
in
phase
one.
I'm
sure
some
of
you
were
sharing
this
information
with
your
networks,
and
I
would
love
to
hear
what
other,
what
some
of
you
all
experienced
during
that
process.
Q
My
my
partners
at
the
interfaith
network
on
mental
illness,
nor
some
of
the
the
housing
related
partners
working
in
faith
communities
aren't
really
here
and
I'm
not
really
representing
them.
But
but
that's
a
big,
a
big
area
of
of
of
I
mean
the
safe
lots
is
in
the
church
parking
lot.
The
mental
health
providers
are
people's
pastors,
so
I
hope
there's
some
follow-up
in
the
faith
community.
B
F
I
R
R
We
know
that
the
radio
is
also
a
a
a
good
way
to
to
to
reach
out
as
well
we're
here
to
in
each
of
the
working
groups
to
support
the
process
and
to
help
with
what
you
need,
as
it
comes
up
to
also
be
able
to
to
to
mobilize
any
groups
in
the
community
that
you
would
like
to
bet
your
ideas
with
later
on,
not
right
now
so.
But
if
you,
if
you
know,
there's
already
a
group,
it's
it's
great
to
bring
that
up.
When
you
meet
in
the
afternoon.
P
P
This
is
gonna,
be
looking
different
in
each
working
group
depend
on
how
do
you
wanna
get
to
that
like
feedback
from
community
members
or
communities
that
are
not
on
the
table
and
that
you
want
to
hear
the
feedback
on
all
of
the
ideas,
and
we
will
support
that.
We
know
in
this
phase
two.
We
will
have
all
of
you
to
help
us
get
all
of
those
ideas
from
community
members
that
we
didn't
have
the
chance
to
get
feedback
due
to
timing.
G
G
H
H
And
as
we
go
into
the
second
half
of
today,
just
a
quick
reminder
that
if
you
would
like
to
be
in
the
spanish
channel,
please
select
that
on
the
bottom
right.
Even
if
you
would
like
to
listen
to
this
meeting
in
english,
please
still
select
the
english
channel
down
in
the
bottom
right
and
that
will
ensure
that
we
get
translation
across
both
and
then
as
a
reminder
for
everyone.
H
V
V
I'm
part
of
the
city
of
boulder's
arpa
staff
team,
which
is
led
by
our
senior
budget
manager,
mark
wolf
and
that,
along
with
an
arpa
executive
team,
includes
staff
members
from
very
diverse
departments
across
the
city,
including
finance,
community
vitality,
data
policy
and
hhs,
including
kurt
fernhuber.
Our
department
hhs
department
director,
who
is
a
part
of
these
meetings
as
well.
V
So
what
I'll
do
is
fairly
quickly
go
through
some
summary
slides
that
we
used
when
staff
presented
to
city
council
of
city,
boulder
city
council
on
february,
15.,
there's
a
lot
more
information.
As
I
know,
you
know
and
happy
to
share
that.
But
I
think
what
we'll
do
is
I'll
go
and
then
harold
will
present,
and
then
we
can
have
kind
of
q
a
for
both
city
of
boulder
and
city
of
longmont.
If
that
makes
sense.
V
So,
as
you
can
see
here,
we
have
five
basic
criteria
on
which
the
city
staff
began
to
construct
our
trench,
one
tranche
ii
and
trench.
Three
arbor
investment
proposals
and
they're
built
on
the
foundation
first
of
our
city-wide
equity
sustainability
and
resilience
goals
and
then
as
you're,
also
charged
as
well,
really
focusing
on
a
variety
of
other
criteria,
including
you
know
where
we
have
the
most.
V
The
greatest
need
born
of
the
greatest
disparities
created
by
covid
and
those
that
existed
pre
pandemic
partnership
opportunities
that
can
create
opportunities
to
leverage
our
investments
and
then
making
sure
that
we're
really
being
innovative,
where
we
can
acknowledging
that
for
many
of
our
community
members
and
many
small
businesses
and
other
non-profit
institutions,
the
need
is
very
much
still
focused
on
response,
not
even
yet
recovery,
because
people
are
really
struggling
next
slide.
Please.
V
This
is
not
to
say
that
we
would
profess
to
have
a
complete
picture
of
what
those
needs
are.
I
don't
know
that
any
government
would
say
we
ever
do,
but
we
wanted
to
be
able
to
start
from
the
needs
that
we
know
again,
because
we've
been
working
with
our
community
partners
really
closely
throughout
the
pandemic.
V
V
Next
slide,
please,
this
is
just
a
brief
one.
I'm
not
going
to
dwell
on
it,
but
just
to
let
you
know
it
exists
in
the
slide
deck
that
just
makes
a
distinction
of
where
what
the
dollar
amounts
associated
with
these
various
tranches-
and
I
can
see
not
all
of
the
numbers
are
actually
showing
up
here.
I
might
need
to
click
through
but
in
any
case
happy
to
provide
more
information
as
to
which
numbers
go
with
which
of
the
expenditure
buckets.
V
Thank
you
hope
you
can
go
ahead
thanks.
So
this
is
just
a
reminder
of
what
we
have
what
we
allocated
for
tronch,
one
from
that
was
approved
in
september
2021
and
actually
joanna.
So
there
were
a
lot
of
slides
in
the
deck
that
were
hidden,
so
we
can
kind
of
jump
through
and
I'm
not
sure
if
they
kind
of
came
through
on
your
end.
V
Those
are
two
chunks
that
are
really
reflective
of
our
investments
from
the
coronavirus,
relief
funds
from
2020
and
2021,
and
those
are
for
things
like
on
the
hhs
side.
Direct
financial
assistance,
urgent
needs
regarding
food,
health
care,
urgent
child
care
expenses,
other
kinds
of
financial
assistance
to
help
people
in
their
response
and
then
similarly,
the
economic
recovery
programming
are
the
kinds
of
small
business
supports
that
our
community
vitality
department
made
available
to
small
businesses
and
have
plans
to
do
more
of
that.
V
Beyond
that
which
is
allocated
from
tronch
one
and
the
emergency
response
connectors
program,
which
continues
to
support
a
very
critical
community-based
grassroots
cultural
broker
network,
to
help
advise
the
city
on
all
coveted
matters
and
to
make
sure
that
information
about
services
and
needs
are
coming
directly
from
community
members
in
the
greatest
need
next
slide.
Please.
V
V
So
that's
at
least
one
instance,
where
there's
kind
of
like
a
phase,
one
and
phase
two
approach
that
we've
proposed
that
might
change
a
bit.
But
for
now
that's
what
we've
proposed
and
staff
are
working
internally
to
based
on
input
and
comments,
questions
we
receive
from
city
council
to
make
sure
we
go
back
to
them
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
with
a
more
specific
proposal
for
adjustment
to
budget.
V
V
V
M
M
We
worked
and
really
engaged
in
resiliency
for
all,
which
was
really
focused
on
what
we
do
with
our
neighborhoods
in
terms
of
neighborhood,
resiliency
and
sustainability,
which
is
really
what
we
built
our
neighborhood
cultural
broker
program
off
of
and
and
really
identifying
the
needs
within
the
neighborhood.
So
that
was
one
plan
that
we
already
had
in
place
and
we
really
talked
about
was
it
relevant
and
when
we
determined
that
it
was
still
relevant,
we
didn't
feel
like
we
needed
to
plan
more
on
that,
because
there
was
so
much
we
had
to
do
on
it.
M
So
when
we
look
at
this,
we
didn't
really
break
it
down
into
tranches.
We
re
we
looked
in
aggregate
because
we
were
trying
to
to
figure
out
what
we
needed
to
do,
and
so
in
this
you
can
see
the
arpa
fund
that
we
received
at
12.9
million,
and
then
we
started
looking
at
some
of
the
projects.
We
knew
that
we
needed
to
bring
in
additional
city
resources
in
order
to
to
really
make
a
difference,
and
so
you
can
see
about
3
million
that
we're
pulling
in
from
the
city's
affordable
housing
fund.
M
As
a
point,
one
of
the
things
that
we've
done
over
the
last
few
years,
we
finished
it
about
two
or
three
years
ago
is
in
addition
to
the
revenue
that
we're
getting
from
our
inclusionary
housing
program.
We
also
put
a
million
dollars
a
year
of
general
fund
dollars
into
our
affordable
housing
program.
So
we
were
going
to
tap
into
that
and
then
using
about
three
quarters
of
a
million
of
our
general
fund
that
we
have
plugged
in
for
early
childhood
work
and
you'll
see
that
on
the
on
the
remaining
slides.
M
M
We've
looked
at
about
1.3
million
in
there
to
make
that
deal
work,
especially
if
we're
not
successful
in
some
of
our
tax
credit
applications
that
we
have
in
and
then
chrisman
development.
We
went
in
4
in
the
4
percent
non-competitive,
but
the
pricing
increases
were
we
were
seeing
is
really
pressing
that
project
to
give
you
a
sense,
chrisman.
M
Many
of
you
may
or
may
not
know
this.
The
city
recently
about
two
years
ago
also
took
on
the
longmont
housing
authority,
and
so
as
part
of
that,
one
of
the
things
that
we
were
really
seeing
in
our
in
our
housing
authority
properties
is
it's
really
independent
living
and
we
were
seeing
a
number
of
folks
in
an
independent
living
environment
that
really
needed
assisted
living.
But
unfortunately,
there
wasn't
any
affordable,
assisted
living
opportunities
and
so
we've
plugged
in
about
1.7
to
start
looking
at
partnership
opportunities
for
some
type
of
affordable,
assisted
living
component.
M
We
actually
purchased
nine
acres
of
property
for
affordable
housing
associated
with
the
costco
project.
We
got
a
really
good
deal
on
that,
probably
pricing
that
we
would
have
seen
between
2012
and
2015.
So
we
couldn't
miss
that
opportunity.
The
other
thing
you
go.
Why
is
nexlight
bulk
agreements
in
here?
M
We
also
recommended
the
council
to
purchase
from
our
storm
water
fund,
which
was
really
connected
to
the
resilient
saint
brain
work
that
we're
doing
from
our
storm
water
utility,
the
pro
the
remnant
parcels
there
for
affordable
housing
and,
if
you're
familiar
with
longmont.
That's
really
the
area
off
of
main
street,
just
off
of
boston,
and
so
this
all
ties
into
the
broader
goal
from
our
housing
authority.
Commission
side
of
really
looking
at
the
construction
of
six
affordable
housing
projects.
M
It's
really
to
support
all
of
these
other
programs
and
so
reworking
our
neighborhood
engagement
portal
and
a
customer
relation
management
software
so
that
we're
really
working
with
our
residents
in
one
portal
so
that
we
can
maximize
our
communication
ability.
But
then,
as
we're
working
on
some
of
these
neighborhood
projects,
we
have
the
infrastructure
in
place
to
really
help
us
manage
it.
M
M
We
know
there's
a
lot
of
money
through
the
county
and
other
places
for
individual
assistance,
and
it's
really.
How
do
we
help
other
agencies
by
facilitating
our
residents
tapping
into
these
other
state
programs
and
then
obviously
the
accountant?
What
we
learned
through
the
flood
is
you
need
that
accounting
support
and
then
some
self-sufficiency
work
at
1.3
million,
and
so
that's
generally
what
we
talked
about
with
our
city
council,
I'm
trying
to
stop
sharing,
but
it
won't.
Let
me.
M
W
Hi
there
I'm
steph
gavanche
with
elevation
community
land
trust.
I
had
a
one,
a
clarifying
question
and
and
then
a
related
one,
so
it
looks
like
most
of
your
affordable
housing
dollars
in
the
plan
are
all
you
already
have
projects
identified,
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
that
was
true
and
the
related
question
is
looks
like
you
have
some
different
types
as
well,
but
I
hear
anything
about
affordable,
homeownership.
B
W
M
So
I
think
really,
when
we
look
at
the
nine
acres
that
we
talked
about
associated
with
the
costco
project,
that's
probably
where
we're
going
to
explore
that
in
some
of
the
partnership
opportunities
because
of
what
we're
dealing
with
with
the
housing
authority
right
now
and
really
needing
to
work.
The
broader
financials
there.
Many
of
those
are
probably
going
to
be
more
geared
to
that,
just
based
on
the
work
that
we're
doing,
but
I
think
we're
where
we
will
really
explore
it's
on
the
nine
acres.
M
E
V
Sure
I'll
try
to
be
brief,
as
I
think
some
of
you
know.
I
could
talk
about
this
all
day
but
happy
to
follow
up
so
our
city,
some
of
our
city
staff,
have
been
researching
guaranteed
income
or
cash
transfer
programs
for
a
couple
of
years,
including
pre-precovid,
and
see
that
as
an
opportunity
for
us
to
really
complement
the
number
of
financial
assistance
programs
we
already
either
have
or
support
through
other
nonprofits
in
the
community,
in
that
the
programs
have
really
been
proven
to
be
quite
successful
at
meeting
many
different
economic
health
wellness.
V
There
are
about
60
different
pilot
programs
in
development
right
now,
including
all
over
the
country,
including
some
other
cities
that
are
also
using
arpa
funding
to
help
launch
and
support
this
kind
of
program,
but
basically
how
it
differs
from
a
financial
assist.
Another
kind
of
financial
assistance
program
where
a
government
or
a
nonprofit
would
help
pay
someone's
rent
or
help
pay
medical
bills
or
utility
bills,
or
that
sort
of
thing
is
that
it's
a
cash
payment.
B
V
Goes
to
an
individual
based
on
whatever
eligibility
criteria
the
agencies
determine
per
month.
Usually
a
pretty
common
amount
is
500
per
month
to
eligible
families
for
a
year
year
and
a
half
two
years,
and
there
are
no
conditions
as
to
how
they
can
spend
that
money.
Many
people
do
spend
it
on
things
they
need
that
they
might
otherwise
be
requesting
for
financial
assistance.
V
H
X
X
M
Yeah,
I
think
I
think
we
don't
know
I
mean,
is
the
simple
answer
and-
and
what
we
do
know
is
that
I
think
similar
to
the
approach
that
we
utilized
as
a
county
when
we
came
together
to
set
the
12
percent
goal
is
this
is
something
that
is
probably
going
to
take
all
of
us
all
communities,
the
county
and
really
kind
of
echo.
How
do
we
partner
on
something
like
that?
M
But,
but
we
do
know
when
we
look
at
our
community,
we're
going
to
need
a
solution
as
we
look
at
some
of
the
opportunities
that
are
presenting
themselves.
So
I
wish
I
had
a
better
answer,
but
I
think
we
don't
know,
but
we
wanted
to
earmark
that
money
so
that
we
could
position
ourselves.
So
we
could
partner
with
others
to
to
look
at
a
broader
solution.
H
All
right
we're
now
going
to
turn
it
over
to
our
guest
presenters
from
the
urban
institute.
Thank
you
so
much
elizabeth
and
harold
that
was
exceptionally
helpful
and
I'm
sure
our
working
groups
will
have
follow-up
questions
in
the
coming
days
and
weeks
so
marlon.
Would
you
prefer
that
I
share
my
screen,
or
would
you
like
to
advance
your
slides.
Z
Y
Absolutely
hi
everybody,
it's
really
lovely
to
be
here
today.
My
name
is
madeline
brown.
I'm
a
policy
associate
at
the
urban
institute.
I
will
give
a
little
bit
more
background
on
sort
of
our
roles
but
want
to
just
hand
it
over
quickly.
So
everybody
from
urban
can
say
hello
today,
so
you
know
that
we're
here
so
tina.
Do
you
want
to
come
off?
You
can
introduce
yourself
sure.
AA
Z
AB
C
Y
All
right,
so
thanks
again
for
having
us
today,
we're
really
excited
to
be
here.
So
I
work
in
the
research
to
action
lab
within
urban,
where
we
focus
on
translating
our
broad
bodies
of
research
to
policymakers
and
practitioners
like
yourselves.
So
this
is
really
exciting
for
us.
We
were
thrilled
when
amy
and
johanna
rebuild
reached
out
to
us
in
december
to
share
a
little
bit
more
about
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
and
ask
us
if
we
could
offer
some
insights
from
our
past
work.
Y
That
paper
created
a
framework
for
equitable
policy
making
in
an
economic
recovery
and
offered
some
examples
of
other
cities
efforts
and
they
thought,
and
we
agree
that
that
framework
might
help,
offer
you
all
a
way
of
approaching
some
of
these
policy
decisions
that
are
before
you
so
very
excited
again
to
be
here,
and
I
want
to
thank
kate
and
tina
as
well
for
jumping
in
and
so
johanna.
We
can
actually
go
all
the
way
just
to
the
agenda
slide
and
I'm
gonna
walk
us
through
kind
of
what
our
plan
is
today.
Y
Y
And
I
do
want
to
just
call
out
kate
and
tina
are
going
to
focus
mostly
on
housing,
because
that's
our
area
of
expertise
and
because
we
see
stable
and
affordable
housing
is
really
fundamental
to
anybody's
ability
to
achieve
so
other
things,
economic
stability,
social
resilience.
So
we
will
cover
all
three
areas.
Y
Y
And
again,
this
definition
has
really
sort
of
grounded
a
lot
of
our
work
in
this
space.
As
soon
as
the
economic
impacts
from
this
pandemic
started
to
sort
of
come
to
fruition,
we
found
ourselves
returning
to
it.
Returning
to
this
work
and
starting
to
kind
of
keep
a
list
of
some
of
these
policies
and
places
that
we
notice
we're
really
trying
to
center
equity
in
their
work.
Y
So
one
of
the
first
things
in
2021,
as
we
were
sort
of
revisiting
this
work
that
we
wanted
to
do,
was
really
call
out
and
just
create
a
distinguished
mint
between
inclusion
and
equity
and
so
in
the
literature.
Definitions
of
inclusion,
sort
of
vary
in
the
way
that
they
focus
on
sometimes
end
goal.
Sometimes
process.
Y
Sometimes
specific
populations
should
be
inclusive
of,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
include
in
that
definition
both
that
process
and
that
end
goal.
And
it's
why
we're
really
excited
to
be
working
with
you
all,
because
we
know
that
that
community
engagement,
that
inclusion
as
part
of
the
process
has
been
so
key
for
you
all
equity.
Y
So
really
in
the
written
work
that
we've
done
as
well
as
some
of
the
technical
assistance
we
deliver.
We
push
for
inclusive
processes,
wherein
the
ultimate
target
of
a
state
of
inclusion,
equity,
justifies
targeted
and
specific
actions
that
acknowledge
the
racist
histories
and
systems
that
exist
in
this
country,
and
this
sort
of
theoretical
background
is
important.
Y
Y
You'll
see
adults
in
households
where
somebody
was
expected
to
lose
some
employment
in
the
next
month
and
then
on
the
right,
renter,
households
that
are
not
caught
up
on
rent-
and
you
see
these
very
close
correlations
and
also
pretty
severe
disparities
across
racial
groups.
So
nearly
40
percent
of
latinx
families,
nearly
35
percent
of
black
families,
had
somebody
in
the
household
who
was
expected
to
lose
again
some
employment
income
in
the
next
month.
Y
Y
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
I'm
going
to
walk
through
just
quick
examples
in
each
of
these.
To
kind
of
give
you
all
a
sense
of
what
exactly
this
means,
so
addressing
policies
and
programs
with
harmful
impacts.
We
think
of
these
things
are
things
that
already
exist,
that
cities
and
counties
actually
have
leverage
over
changing.
So
in
san
francisco,
in
the
onset
of
the
pandemic,
they
really
looked
inward
at
what
debt
did
the
city
hold?
That
was
disproportionately
impacting
families
of
color
in
san
francisco
that
they
could
just
release.
Y
As
part
of
really
sort
of
recovery
efforts,
and
so
they
created
a
number
of
policy
changes
to
their
fines
and
fees
across
criminal
justice,
things
like
parking
tickets,
halting
collection
in
a
range
of
domains,
but
really
just
sort
of
cancelling
any
debt
that
the
city
held
and
especially
having
done
some
of
the
data
work
behind
it.
To
relieve
some
of
the
racial
disparities
in
that
debt
collection
targeting
supports
in
broward
county.
Y
Y
So,
as
I
mentioned,
I'm
going
to
talk
through
affordability
and
social
resilience
and
we
wanted
to
provide
some
examples
of
policies
in
these
that
really
were
responsive
to
some
of
the
community
input
that
we
saw
in
the
materials
and
and
to
provide
just
some
really
sort
of
concrete
details.
So
I
was
actually
excited
when
I
jumped
on
this
call
to
hear
that
direct
cash
transfers
were
already
sort
of
being
discussed.
Y
So
I
don't
think
I
need
to
spend
too
much
time
here,
but
there
are
some
really
good,
concrete
examples
and
I
just
want
to
call
out
san.
Diego
county
has
already
allocated
40
million
dollars
to
a
direct
cash
program,
so
they
would
be
a
good
sort
of
comparison.
I
think
for
arpa
spending
specifically
and
then
in
dc
we
had
a
direct
cash
transfer
that
was
pandemic
response,
but
not
using
arpa
dollars.
It
was
actually
privately
funded
and
urban
recently
did
an
evaluation
of
that
program.
Y
So
I
can
get
into
some
of
the
eligibility
criteria
if
people
want
to
know
more
about
that
later.
But
I
just
think
this
chart
is
really
helpful,
because
you
can
see
the
categories
that
people
are
spending
in.
Obviously,
the
flexibility
is
really
important,
but
I
think
elizabeth
was
talking
to
her
point.
It's
a
lot
of
basic
needs
too.
Y
We
had
you
can
see
some
of
these
icons,
some
of
the
different
examples
of
types
of
child
care
expenditures,
this
arpa
dollar
specifically,
but
in
things
like
workforce
development
and
subsidies
for
high
quality
child
care.
One
example
is
cumberland
county
in
maine
who
are
using
these
recovery
funds
to
develop
a
specific
workforce
training
program
for
child
care
providers,
so
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide
and
then
in
the
area
of
social
resilience.
Y
I'm
gonna
talk
about
some
mental
health
service
examples
and
some
broadband
service
examples
too.
So,
on
the
mental
health
side
of
things,
there
are
at
least
34
jurisdictions
nationally,
including
18
counties
that
are
allocating
some
portion
of
their
upper
dollars
to
mental
health.
One
interesting
thing
you
can
see
in
this
table
and
you'll
have
all
these
slides.
After
the
presentation,
too,
in
mental
health,
there
were
different
treasury
eligibility
use
groups
that
were
utilized
and
subgroups
as
well.
That's
different
from
broadband,
where
people
are
typically
sort
of
in
one
category
range
of
expenditures.
Y
There
are
at
least
39
jurisdictions
that
are
investing
in
broadband
infrastructure,
including
29
counties,
major
spending
areas
that
we're
seeing
here,
things
like
hot
spots
and
devices
middle
mile
and
last
mile
broadband
expansions,
upgrading,
fiber
optic
infrastructure
and
then
again
a
lot
of
needs.
Assessments
are
being
funded
as
well
using
arpa
dollars.
So
two
examples
here
in
broward,
county
they've
programmed
about
a
million
dollars
for
some
of
that
fiber
optic
infrastructure.
Y
This
is
a
an
example
of
a
place
that
had
actually
used
american
recovery
and
reinvestment
act.
Funds
to
deliver
fiber
optic
internet
at
a
low
cost,
but
many
folks,
especially
rural
residents,
were
still
unable
to
access
it
and
so
building
on
what
was
a
student
hot
spot
program
during
the
pandemic,
that
city
owned
utility
actually
partnered
with
the
county
in
the
city
and
the
school
district
to
start
to
install
routers
and
wire
eligible
families,
homes
and
then
waiving
all
fees
for
service.
Y
So
we're
seeing
different
ways
of
going
about
this
and
again
we'd
be
happy
to
kind
of
talk
about
these
examples
and
also
encourage
folks
to
continue
looking
at
other
trackers
that
exist
of
sort
of
continued
detailed
examples,
but
going
to
turn
it
over
to
kate.
Now
to
talk
about
some
of
the
housing
expenditures.
Z
Z
Z
Z
Z
In
addition
to
these
two
uses,
there
was
a
broad
range
of
housing
priorities
articulated
in
the
plans,
for
example,
rental
and
utility
assistance,
foreclosure
relief
and
residential
counseling,
and
there
were
many
places.
So
almost
half
of
the
places
that
you
see
here
at
the
bottom
that
are
doing
relatively
unique
housing
uses
depending
on
their
local
circumstances.
Z
So
I
found
that
really
interesting
and
they're
really
kind
of
stretching
the
guidance
from
treasury.
So,
for
instance,
pittsburgh
is
supporting
community
land
trusts.
St
louis
is
instituting
a
real
property
tax
assistance
fund,
and
detroit
and
new
york
city
have
mentioned
in
their
plans,
supports
for
small
mom-and-pop
landlords.
Z
AB
G
Z
Y
Z
G
Z
Z
The
cards
were
valued
at
300
and
could
be
used
at
any
businesses
that
accepted
visa.
But
in
addition
to
providing
these
cards,
santa
ana
also
allowed
businesses
local
businesses
to
sort
of
offer
discounts
to
folks
using
the
cards,
so
they
also
sort
of
incentivized
the
folks
to
use
cards
at
local
businesses.
So
I
thought
this
was
an
interesting
kind
of
two-prong
strategy.
Z
Z
So,
just
quickly
on
portland
the
foreclosure
prevention,
counseling
they're,
so
they're,
basically
taking
what
they
already
had
in
place
in
terms
of
foreclosure,
but
I'm
offering
some
hud
certified
counseling
as
well
as
additional
financial
assistance.
So,
as
you
can
see,
places
are
sort
of
beeping
up
existing
eviction
and
foreclosure
prevention
strategies
next
slide.
Z
So
I'd
like
to
just
take
a
quick
moment
to
talk
about
eviction,
diversion
programs.
To
be
frank,
even
though
I'm
a
housing
expert,
I
didn't
know
what
these
were
until
the
pandemic.
But
the
reason
I'd
like
to
mention
them
is
because
the
white
house
and
treasury
have
repeatedly
stated
that
state
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
can
be
used
for
this
purpose,
and
the
white
house
has
really
made
this
a
priority
strategy.
Z
Z
Z
And
finally,
I
would
just
end
by
saying:
if
you
haven't
seen
it,
I
would
recommend
taking
a
look
at
the
five-year
study
of
the
denver,
supportive
housing,
social
impact
bond
initiative
or
denver
sib
there.
They
provided
supportive
housing
through
a
housing.
First
approach
aiming
really
quickly
to
get
people
into
housing
without
prerequisite.
Prerequisites
such
as
negative
drug
tests
or
lack
of
a
criminal
record
and
urban
has
been
leading
the
evaluation.
It's
been
a
very
rigorous
evaluation
and
found
more
time
in
housing
amongst
the
group
receiving
the
treatment
and
reductions
and
arrests
and
jail
time.
Z
So
I
think
that
study
also
provides
a
really
good
opportunity
for
a
model.
All
right,
I
will
end
by
just
saying
here-
are
some
of
the
resources
that
I
think
are
really
helpful
in
this
space.
If
you
want
more
examples,
I
want
to
try
to
find
more
details
about
specific
examples,
so
you
can
find
the
brookings
tracker,
the
national
association
for
counties,
the
national,
low-income
housing
coalition
has
a
lot
of
good
fact
sheets
on
housing,
investments
that
have
been
made
with
arpa.
AA
AA
So
one
such
method
to
addressing
long-term
housing
affordability
challenges
is
inclusionary
zoning.
I
know
most
jurisdictions
within
boulder
county
already
have
some
form
of
iz
short
for
inclusionary
zoning,
which
requires
or
offers
incentives
to
developers
to
set
aside
a
share
of
units
and
new
developments
to
be
rented
or
sold
at
below
market
rates,
and
some
id
laws
like
the
one
in
boulder,
also
allowed
developers
to
pay
a
fee
in
lieu
of
developing
affordable
units
or
to
build
the
units
in
a
separate
location
from
the
main
development.
AA
So
I
see
laws
while
I
know
many
jurisdictions
already
have
them.
You
may
want
to
consider
revising
them
or
adapting
them
in
the
wake
of
covet
19,
and
I'm
also
speaking
about
them
here,
just
to
note
their
limitations
and
how
they
can
provide
housing
for
a
certain
segment
of
the
market,
but
they
really
need
to
be
paired
with
other
investments
and
programs
in
order
to
address
the
full
spectrum
of
housing
needs
next
slide.
AA
It
can
also
help
to
preserve
affordable
housing
in
neighborhoods
on
the
brink
of
gentrification
ic
can
help
increase
housing
stability,
increase
access
to
opportunity
for
households
with
low
incomes
and
communities
of
color,
like
I
mentioned,
and
improve
outcomes
for
youth.
There's
a
wealth
of
evidence
showing
that
having
safe,
stable
housing
in
high
opportunity,
neighborhoods
has
benefits
for
youth
not
only
immediately,
but
in
the
long
run,
and
finally,
programs
like
izy
and
the
other
ones
I'm
going
to
speak
about
today
can
help
improve
the
economy
overall
through
increased
job
retention.
AA
AA
So
one
example
of
another
policy
or
program
that
many
jurisdictions
are
are
implementing
or
reforming,
is
rent
control.
Now
I
know
that
rent
control
is
not
currently
allowed
in
the
state
of
colorado,
but
I
wanted
to
mention
this
just
in
case.
The
state
of
ever
does
consider
revising
that
and
or
if
there
are
types
of
things
that
are
like
rent
control
that
are
allowable
under
your
state
laws.
AA
Rent
control
is
a
loose
term
used
to
cover
a
spectrum
of
rent
regulations
that
can
vary
from
hard
caps
on
maximum
rents,
which
were
the
kind
of
olden
days,
traditional
rent
control,
to
limits
on
the
amount
that
rents
can
increase
over
time.
That's
often
referred
to
as
rent
stabilization
and
is
a
popular
current
tool.
Next
slide,
so
is
rent
control
effective.
Really,
the
jury
is
still
out
on
that.
AA
AA
So
if
you
all
do
ever
consider
designing
a
rent
control
regulation
and
implementing
it
through
reforms
at
the
state
or
through
local
through
your
ways
that
you
can
legally
design
something
similar
to
rent
control,
it's
really
important
to
design
those
in
a
way
that
balances
out
these
pros
and
cons
and
to
ensure
that
it's
enforced
and
implemented
in
a
way
that
makes
sense.
There
are
a
lot
of
details
on
this.
I
could
go
into
later,
but
I
think
at
the
moment
it's
not
as
pertinent
for
boulder
county
next
slide.

Some
places
have
completely
banned
single-family
zoning,
meaning
that
anyone
can
build
duplexes
or
sometimes
triplexes
on
what
it
would
have
been
previously
only
allowed
to
be
single-family
and
then
just
overall.
Anything
that
can
be
done
to
simplify
the
development
process
can
really
help
with
increasing
housing
supply.
There's
a
great
quote:
we
heard
from
a
contractor
I'm
going
to
read
it
here,
just
because
it's
so
powerful.
AA
He
said
that
I'm
going
to
say
that,
40
years
ago,
when
I
first
started
being
a
building
contractor,
I
could
walk
into
the
county
building
with
a
plan
that
was
basically
three
pages.
I
would
walk
out
with
a
permit
and
it
would
cost
me
about
200
in
an
hour
one
hour
now.
It
would
take
you
probably
at
least
four
to
six
months
to
get
a
permit
and
it
would
cost
you
thirty
thousand
dollars
not
to
mention
that
four
to
six
months
of
loss,
income
through
rent

AA
AA
AA
All
of
these
things
can
be
used
to
directly
immediately
create
housing
that
is
affordable
in
high
opportunity
neighborhoods
to
help
fill
the
gaps
in
limitations.
In
some
of
these
other
policies
and
programs,
you
can
also
create
or
invest
in
community
land
trusts.
I
know
there
are
already
some
community
land
trusts
in
boulder
county.
These
can
be
a
great
way
to
create
to
create
affordable
home
ownership
options
for
households
with
lower
incomes,
and
I
have
to
note
this
picture
on.
AA
The
right
here
is
a
affordable
housing
development
in
alexandria,
where
I
live,
I'm
on
the
board
of
the
the
affordable
housing
developer
who
built
this
the
first
floor
is
a
homeless,
shelter
and,
above
it
is
all
permanently
affordable.
Housing
for
low-income
families
and
it's
beautiful,
so
affordable
housing
doesn't
have
to
be
something
that
we're
afraid
of
it
can
be
a
great
asset
to
our
community
next
slide.
AA
Finally,
I
just
want
to
mention
that
I,
as
I
heard
others
talking
about
direct
transfers,
guaranteed
income
while
not
a
housing
policy
per
se,
is
another
great
way
to
promote
a
long-term,
inclusive
and
equitable
recovery
from
from
covet
19.
guaranteed
income,
which
again
has
you
know
targeted
at
residents
with
low
incomes
or
low
wealth.
It
can
decrease
monetary
poverty
and
improve
outcomes
for
the
individual
recipients,
and
it
can
help
the
economy
overall
because,
contrary
to
previously
held
beliefs
about
well,
if
we
give
people
cash
they'll
work,
less.
AA
AA
There
that's
very
complicated,
and
I
can
provide
a
lot
of
resources
on
that,
but
generally
there
are
ways
to
either
get
waivers
for
people
from
having
that
income
count
towards
their
other
benefits,
and
there
are
also
tools
that
the
federal
reserve
has
created
that
can
allow
you
to
calculate
benefits
cliffs
and
then
ensure
that
you
you
help.
You
can
monitor
people
as
they
are
reaching
those
benefits
cliffs
or
the
the
point
at
which
they
might
lose
other
benefits
to
ensure
that
the
cash
is
not
harming
them.
AA
So
this
really
affects
our
economy
as
a
whole
and
in
chicago,
for
instance,
has
been
found
that
segregation
has
cost
eight
billion
dollars
in
gdp,
and
we
have
many
more
examples
of
how
this
really
harms
the
inequity
and
segregation
harms
the
economy
overall.
So
addressing
this
is
really
imperative
in
this
moment,
I
think
I
will
stop
there.
I
didn't
get
to
see
all
the
questions
I
guess
we'll
probably
come
back
to.
Those
is
that
right,
madeline
pass
this
back
over
to
you.
Yeah.
Y
Thanks
so
much
tina,
there's
a
couple,
maybe
just
really
quickly-
and
you
know
we
have
10
minutes
now,
happy
to
field
whatever
we
can
and
can
send
other
resources
as
needed,
but
tina.
There
was
a
question
in
the
chat
about
ability
of
arpa
funds
to
be
used
for
changing
zoning
laws,
wondering
if
you
could
just
speak
to
that
a
little
bit.
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
sort
of
changing
or
just
the
supplemental
programs
towards
zoning.
AA
So,
but
really
you
don't
necessarily
need
money
to
do.
Zoning
reforms
you
just
need
will-
and
you
know,
a
community
engaged
process
to
get
to
that
point.
So
I
don't
know
of
any
cities
that
are
necessarily
using
recovery
dollars
for
that
purpose,
but
really
just
bringing
these
up
as
policies
that
need
to
be
enacted
to
ensure
that
these
short-term
investments
have
long-term
change.
AA
G
T
X
Zoning
and
other
land
use
policies
that
have
been
put
in
place
in
each
community
and
then
there's
also
a
list
in
there
of
of
things
that
could
be
done
locally.
So
it's
probably
a
good
resource
to
refer
to
as
we're
talking
about
both
policies
that
have
been
implemented
as
those
as
well
as
those
that
could
be
in
various
communities,
and
we
can
share
that.
Q
I'm
a
mental
health
advocate
with
lived
experience,
a
grassroots
person,
part
of
a
network
of
grassroots
individuals
and-
and
I'm
just
wondering
I
just
need
to
understand
more
what
what
that
term
means
in
terms
of
of
mental
health
and
the
several
great
ideas
that
you
know
are
kind
of
underway
already
in
boulder
county
to
increase
the
correspondence
and
the
hub
navigation
and
so
forth.
What
what
is
social
resilience?
G
I'm
happy
to
jump
in
is
that
okay
so-
and
I
can
send
you
some
readings
on
this
and
I
can
send
it
to
everybody.
So
social
resilience
is
essentially
the
practice
of
knowing
your
neighbors
of
investing
in
the
physical
and
social
things
that
brings
communities
together,
because
studies
have
shown
over
time
that
those
who
know
their
neighbors
fare
a
lot
better
during
times
of
crisis.
Q
Yeah,
I'm
I'm
really
open
to
hearing
and
talking
about
those
ideas.
I'm
also,
though,
wondering
earlier,
we
saw
slides
about
the
mental,
the
severe
mental
health
crisis
in
colorado
and
the
kids
that
are
ending
up
in
the
emergency
room.
So
I'm
I'm
still
looking
as
we're
talking
about
some
of
the
other
issues.
It
sounds.
AC
AC
But
even
if
we
assume
they
all
are
it's
still
not
a
very
big
population,
and
if
we're
trying
to
increase
the
diversity
of
our
services,
we
may
have
people,
for
example,
who
can't
afford
to
live
here
right
now,
who
are
living
elsewhere
and
commuting
in
because
our
housing
costs
are
so
high.
Has
anybody
that
you
guys
have
looked
at
faced
a
similar
situation
where
there
are
obstacles
to
diversity
and
whether
they've
extended
beyond
the
reach
of
their
own
community,
to
try?
I
I
as
an
affordable
housing
advocate?
AC
Y
You
can
start
on
this
and
tina
kate
curious.
What
you
all
would
say
too.
I
you
know,
I
want
to
sort
of
re-emphasize
that
I
think
part
of
the
reason
that
we
focus
so
much
on
racial
equity
is
because
we
know
that
there
we
have
a
history
of
racist
policies,
especially
in
housing,
and
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
we
are
designing
in
a
way
that
acknowledges
those
histories.
Y
So
I
think
it's
sort
of
the
both
and
it's,
let's
make
sure
we're
understanding
the
the
real
racial
implications
of
our
policies
in
the
past,
but
also
acknowledging
that
every
place
is
going
to
have
different
demographic
challenges,
which
is
why
it's
so
important
to
do
that
community
engagement,
sort
of
along
the
way
as
you
all
are
doing.
But
I
don't
know
if,
on
the
housing
sort
of
specific
side
of
things,
if
teen
or
kate,
you
have
other
thoughts
as
well.
AA
I
was
just
gonna
point
to
some
examples.
We
did
some
case
studies
when
we
studied
inclusive
recovery
prior
to
covid.
We
fortuitously
were
you
know,
looking
at
past
examples
of
places
that
had
inclusively
recovered
from
distress
to
try
to
learn
from
them
and
one
place
that
popped
up,
I
think,
might
be
similar
to
what
you're
saying
was
lowell
massachusetts.
AA
So
they
had
a
large
influx
of
cambodian
refugees
and
oh
gosh,
I
think,
was
the
90s
and
similar
issues.
They
didn't
really
have
a
service
system
set
up
to
provide
services
to
that
community,
but
they
really
did
concerted
efforts
to
do
deep
and
meaningful
community
engagement
with
that
community,
and
then
they
they.
What
we
say,
like
literally
celebrated
that
community
they
ended
up.
Creating
the
southeast
asian
water
festival
that
now
drink
brings
like
tens
of
thousands
of
tourists
a
year
to
celebrate
the
culture
they
have.
AA
I
mean
it
really
just
starts
with
trust,
building
and
community
outreach,
and
you
know
we
have
a
whole
bunch
of
practices
which
you
probably
are
using
a
lot
of
them,
but
around
how
to
best
lead
community
engagement
in
a
way
that
can
engage
with
smaller
populations
or
your
most
historically
excluded
populations.
But
I
like
what
you
were
saying
about.
I
think
the
important
part
here
is
that,
in
order
to
solve
that
problem
of
being
exclusive
right,
that's
the
word
it's
we
need
to
invest
in
affordable
housing.
AA
That's
the
only
way
we're
going
to
be
able
to
diversify
our
communities,
because
again,
this
all
links
back
to
our
history
of
structural
racism
in
our
country.
I
would
urge
you
all
to
read
the
book,
the
color
of
law.
It
will
open
your
eyes
to
the
history
of
how
we
got
to
where
we
are
of
our
black
white
wealth
gap
and
other
wealth
gaps
by
race
and
ethnicity
and
really
you
know
this
needs
to
be
addressed
through
zoning
reform
and
housing
policy.
Z
G
Just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
time
you
took
and
all
the
research
that
you
did
to
ensure
that
this
is
reflective
of
what
these
working
groups
are
working
on.
We
really
really
appreciate
it
and
if
we
get
any
other
follow-up
questions
I'll
be
sure
to
let
you
know,
but
thank
you
so
much.
We
very
much
appreciate
your
time.
G
H
Housing
has
easy,
and
then
I
was
gonna
say
that
oh
yep
sophia
posted
the
links
in
the
chat,
but
also
you
should
have
received
a
calendar
invite
with
those
links.
If
you're
in
the
economic
challenges
or
mental
health
and
social
resilience
groups
amy
will
be
in
the
mental
health
and
social
resilience
group
and
then
economic
challenges.
You'll
meet
one
of
our
colleagues
sam
who's,
going
to
be
helping
with
the
tech
and
has
that
meeting
open
already
for
economic
challenges.
G
And
just
want
to
just
a
reminder
that
we're
going
to
meet
back
here
at
3
45
for
those
who
can
stay,
certainly
the
co-chairs
and
if
anybody
else
can
stay
for
the
last
discussion.
Please
do
if
you
can't,
then
we've
made
it
optional
because
we
know
this
is
a
super
long
day
and
we
really
appreciate
your
time
so
we're
going
to
now
turn
it
over
to
the
co-chairs
who
are
in
charge
of
the
breakout
group.
So
we'll
see
you
at
the
other
side.
