Urban Redevelopment Authority / Housing Opportunity Fund / Pittsburgh Land Bank / Department of City Planning
A
Hello
and
welcome
to
pittsburgh
city
council's
budget
hearing
reconvened
budget
hearing
today
for
2021
my
name
is
debra
gross.
I
am
the
council
member
for
district
seven.
I
chair
intergovernmental
affairs.
Today's
budget
hearing
we
are
talking
to
the
urban
redevelopment
authority,
to
the
housing
opportunity,
trust
fund
and
to
the
pittsburgh
land
bank.
A
I
am
going
to
in
a
minute
hand
it
over
to
our
city
council
budget
director
bill
orbanek.
He
will
give
us
just
a
couple
of
words
about
how
city
resources
are
directed
to
these
other
bodies
and
then
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
the
urban
redevelopment
authority
who
has
their
own
presentation
bill?
Would
you
like
to
do
your
presentation.
B
B
The
era
achieves
this
mission
by
assembling,
preparing
and
conveying
sites
for
major
mixed
use
developments
and
by
providing
a
portfolio
of
programs
that
include
financing
for
business,
location,
relocation
and
expansion,
housing,
construction,
rehabilitation
and
home
purchases
and
improvements,
the
housing
trust
fund
in
2015
and
2016.
The
city
of
pittsburgh
assembled
an
affordable
housing
task
force
to
better
understand
the
affordable
housing
needs
across
the
city
task
force
recommended
the
city,
establish
a
housing
trust
fund
and
as
a
response,
the
need
for
affordable
housing.
B
B
We
also
have
a
discussion
today
is
the
pittsburgh
land
bank,
which
was
created
in
2014.,
council
members,
smith,
lavalle
and
burgess
are
on
the
land
bank
board,
from
the
finance
rule
and
on
the
revenue
or
the
operating
budget.
There
is
one
revenue
line
item
from
the
ura
and
that
is
520
000
for
reimbursement
for
the
412.
B
There
is
seven
million
one
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
for
various
programs,
which
is
going
to
be
spoken
about
from
community
development
block
grant
dollars.
There
are
no
bond
dollars
this
year,
with
the
exception
of
under
our
facility
improvements,
this
62nd
street
warehouse
expansion,
which
is
the
urad
redevelopment
building
in
upfront.
B
There
is
only
one
million
dollars
in
paygo
dollars.
Those
are
the
operating
dollars
dedicated
to
the
capital
budget,
300
000,
that's
for
housing,
development
and
then
700
000
of
that
is
for
ura
property
maintenance
and
we'll
hear
more
specifics
on
the
monies
allocated
and
spent
from
the
presentation
from
the
ura.
That's
one
gross.
A
Thank
you,
mr
urbanic.
Let
the
record
also
reflect
that
we
are
joined
from
who
I
can
see
in
my
participants
screen
here
by
councilman
coghill
councilman,
wilson,
councilman
lavelle,
councilwoman
strasberger,
that's
the
only
ones
I
see
now,
but
members
may
be
coming
in
and
out.
As
I
mentioned
previously,
council
members
have
been
in
session
since
10
o'clock
this
morning
and
it's
about
1
45.
Now,
so
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
the
directors
director
of
flistrom.
Actually.
Well
all
right.
A
You
guys
already
shared
your
screen,
but
could
I
actually
have
you
unsure
your
screen
for
just
a
second,
and
if
you
wouldn't
mind
just
because
again,
we've
got
the
viewing
public
here.
Could
I
have
everyone
at
the
ura
who
is
here
to
testify
just
go
through
and
introduce
yourselves?
I
think
that
the
public
kind
of
knows
the
faces
of
city
council
members
and
we're
joined
by
councilman
burgess
as
well.
If
I
could
have
you
first
kind
of
introduce,
have
your
team
introduce
themselves
and
then
we'll
go
into
your
presentation.
A
C
C
So
it's
in
that
context
that
we
present
our
budget
proposal
to
be
today
and
so
starting
with
the
first
slide.
I
don't
need
to
read
this
stuff
to
you,
but
really
what
we're
about
is
you
know
creating
a
city
of
opportunity,
inclusive
opportunity,
specifically
with
regard
to
or
some
of
our
place-based
initiatives
and
people-based
initiatives
that
we'll
talk
about
in
a
moment
in
terms
of
if
you
can
get
this
slide,
where
it
says,
understanding
the
the
ura's
impact
in
pittsburgh.
C
Give
you
a
little
overview
here.
You
know
we're
gonna
talk
about
kind
of
some
of
the
mission
goals
and
the
approach
of
the
ura
and
then
a
segway
into
some
of
our
work.
That
is
really
what
I
would
more
describe
as
our
initiative
work
that
goes
kind
of
above
and
beyond
our
core
programs
and
services
and
then
we'll
get
segway
into
the
actual
budget
and
go
through
a
line-by-line
detailed
presentation
of
their
budget
request.
C
C
Next
slide
our
approach.
We
have
a
combination
of
both
place-based
and
people-based
approaches
which
we'll
get
into
and
there's
often
a
lot
of
overlap
between
them,
specifically
the
avenues
of
hope,
initiative,
they'll
hear
more
about,
but
the
place-based
ones
are
obviously
focusing
on
geographic
areas
of
the
city.
The
people
are
based.
Ones
are
really
focusing
on
individuals,
wealth
creation,
initiatives,
entrepreneurial
support,
micro
lending
and
the
like
our
approach.
C
C
D
It
became
very
clear
that
we
needed
to
simplify
our
structure
and
to
really
create
an
operating
model
that
was
user
friendly
to
the
public
and
that
we
could
understand
internally
to
ensure
that
our
work
was
having
the
kind
of
impact
that
I
know
that
we
all
would
like
to
have
here
in
our
region.
So
the
structure
has
been
simplified
to
focus
on
four
key
areas.
We
have
a
central
operations
function,
which
is
where
our
finance,
hr
and
legal
operations
are
run
through.
D
We
have
a
lending
and
investment
division
which
focuses
on
our
commercial
and
residential
lending
and
grant
making,
and
then
we
have
a
development
services
unit
which
focuses
more
on
our
place,
keeping
and
place
making
activities
around
the
built
environment
and
then
a
business
solutions
arm.
That
is
always
thinking
strategically
about
how
to
respond
to
the
needs
of
our
business
community
that
extend
beyond
lending
and
investment
and
so
in
in
creating
this
more
streamlined
structure
of
the
ura
has
really
demonstrated
a
unique
ability
to
meet
demand.
D
We've.
Our
staffing
capacity
is
focused
on
administering
hyper
local
programs.
That
are,
you,
know
cognizant
of
pittsburgh
and
who
we
are
as
a
99
community
sort
of
network
here,
building
trust
from
a
wide
array
of
small
businesses,
vamping
up
our
outreach
programs
and
placing
a
greater
focus
on
main
street
management
and
community
programs
that
really
get
at
the
center
of
quality
of
life.
Here
in
pittsburgh,
we've
pre-built
partnerships
that
are
designed
to
scale
up
so
that
the
ura
is
not
going
it
alone.
D
D
I
don't
think
that
any
of
us
sitting
here
last
year
could
have
anticipated
that
covid
would
become
the
reality
that
it
is
now.
The
word
pandemic
was
not
in
our
vocabulary.
Neither
was
zoom,
but
we
find
ourselves
in
that
atmosphere,
and
so
the
ura
had
begun
to
do
work
that
would
allow
us
to
respond
to
that
type
of
crisis
back
in
2018
2019
and
council's
investment
during
those
years
has
been
instrumental
in
helping
us
to
build
those
strong
partnerships.
D
And
so
in
looking
at
the
ura's
operating
budget,
which
is
how
we
handle
our
day-to-day
business,
you
will
see
that
in
2018
we
had
a
10
million
dollar
budget
roundabout.
You
can
look
at
our
revenue
types
which
come
from
government
income
from
ura
assets,
income
derived
from
program
and
services
and
then
other
sources.
We
do
contribute
amount
for
an
amount
from
our
general
fund
each
year
to
stabilize
our
operations
on
the
expense
side.
D
You
will
see
that
we
have
a
personnel
budget
and
then
operational
and
administrative
costs
that
are
designed
to
keep
the
ura
advancing
and
moving
forward.
We
do
ask
for
a
portion
of
from
the
city
from
the
capital
budget
to
support
these
operations
to
ensure
that
we
are
able
to
respond
to
critical
mission-driven
activities
such
as
avenues
of
hope
and
so
in.
Looking
at
the
mayor's
2021
proposed
budget.
D
It's
a
total
ask
of
10.4
million
dollars,
split
between
two
distinct
activity,
types,
one
being
the
avenues
of
hope
which
we'll
talk
more
about
in
a
moment
and
the
other
being
some
ancillary
activities
around
advancing,
affordable
housing
and
being
pro
good
stewards
over
the
ura's
publicly
held
assets.
And
so
the
avenues
of
hope
activities
are
focused
on
main
street
place,
keeping
in
place
making
a
focus
on
people
and
building
community
partnerships.
D
D
With
your
gracious
support
from
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
we've
been
able
to
invest
in
projects
and
programs
that
help
to
revitalize
business
districts,
build
wealth
and
keep
wealth
in
our
community
and
help
small
businesses
to
grow,
and
so
you
see
there
jasmir
bates,
the
owner
of
ken
of
duncan,
which
is
one
of
the
businesses
out
of
our
gallery
on
penn
small
business
program,
she's
14
years
old
she's
been
with
us
since
she's
12.
and
she's,
one
of
the
most
prosperous
businesses
that
we've
had
in
that
program.
D
And
so,
when
you
think
about
our
work
from
a
home
ownership
or
or
a
housing
standpoint,
you
know:
we've
been
positioned
to
help
homeowners,
first-time
buyers,
renters
landlords
contractors
and
community
development
corporations
to
really
stabilize
the
pittsburgh's
housing
market.
So
these
are
the
faces
of
actual
clients,
have
been
helped
to
either
buy
their
first
home
or
to
remain
in
their
home,
because
the
ura
has
helped
to
make
it
more
affordable.
D
H
H
Really,
you
know
it's
really
very
difficult,
if
not
impossible,
for
us
to
have
the
impact
and
breadth
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
so.
Thank
you,
yeah
on
the
housing
side-
and
you
know
I
get
jessica-
can
jump
in
as
appropriate,
but
you
know
that
and
we'll
get
into
it
later
in
the
presentation,
but
we
you
know
when
the
coveted
response
and
we'll
talk
a
bit
about
it
later.
You
know
one
of
the
things
I
think
we're
most
proud
of
is
that
you
know
with
the
pandemic,
hitting
it
back
in.
H
You
know
really
full
force
here
into
the
into
the
you
know:
the
united
states
really
and
of
course,
pittsburgh
locally
and
back
in
march.
You
know
one
of
the
things
we're
most
proud
of
is
in
the
midst
of
a
you
know:
economic
crisis,
health,
health
crisis.
I
mean
frankly
folks
getting
sent
home
from
work.
These
types
of
things
we
really
quickly
pivoted
to
help
the
folks
who
were
most
need.
You
know
very
very
quickly.
H
We
did
this
on
the
housing
side,
as
well
as
on
the
on
the
business
side,
where
we
were
able
to
position
monies
and
programs
in
a
way
to
get
to
the
to
folks
both
to
keep
you
know
to
do
everything
we
can
to
keep
rules
over
people's
heads
and
to
keep
small
businesses
alive
to
the
best
extent
possible
during
an
economic
crisis.
I
won't
read
all
of
this,
but
we
can
certainly
answer
questions,
but
you
know
our
housing
programs
through
hsp
helped.
H
H
This
is
the
scatter
map
of
those
programs.
Again,
I
think
the
theme
here
is
that
we've
helped
folks
across
the
city,
on
our
homeowners
and
in
our
housing
support
programs
across
a
variety
of
a
variety
of
tools
and
really
available
to
help
folks
in
need
across
our
city,
small
business.
Similarly,
again,
you
know
back
when
I
think
back
in
march.
H
You
know
we
were
you
know,
kind
of
you
know
if
we
think
about
frankly,
our
budget
presentation
a
year
ago,
we
did
not
imagine
that
covered
covert
was
coming
in
the
economic
disaster
that
we
were
that
we
were
you
know
facing,
and
one
of
the
things
we
did
was
and
jennifer
wilhelm
was
here
as
well.
You
know
her
her
and
her
team
and
her
leadership
again
quickly.
H
Pivoted,
to
you,
know,
amended
and
sort
of
pivot,
some
of
our
programs
and
create
new
programs
to
get
monies
out
the
door
quickly
to
folks,
in
mostly
again,
are
very,
very
small
businesses.
Those
small
businesses
whose
you
know
couldn't
really
afford
a
bad
month,
two
months,
three
months,
six
months
a
year
and
get
monies
out
to
the
door
in
an
emergency
fashion.
H
You
know
again,
you
know
again
thanks
to
the
city
through
the
cares,
act,
the
ability
to
to
raise
more
monies
and
went
out
to
the
private
marketplace
and
philanthropy
as
well
to
support
and
continue
to
raise
dollars,
helped
several
hundred
very,
very
small
businesses
across
the
city,
the
vast
majority.
You
know:
women,
small
own
small
businesses,
minority
owned
small
businesses,
black
owned
businesses
and
we're
proud
to
say
that
I
think
you
know,
while
we're
just
one
piece
of
a
much
larger
puzzle,
to
support
our
small
business
community.
H
K
H
Next
slide,
thank
you
again,
a
scatter
map
showing
the
impact,
but
you
know
these
are
again.
We
are.
These
programs
are
available
city-wide,
you
know
helping
businesses
across
the
city.
You
know
the
vast
majority
of
these
small
businesses
are
along
our
you
know:
neighborhood
business
district,
main
street
business
corridors
and-
and
I
can
say
without
a
hundred
percent,
very
very
small
businesses,
and
just
to
be
clear,
I
mean
the
sva
I
think
defines
small
businesses
is
something
like
businesses
with
less
than
500
employees.
H
You
know
when
I
say
small
businesses
when
the
ua
small
business
says
small
business.
You
know
we're
often
talking
about
folks
with
less
than
20
employees
less
than
10
employees,
so
these
are
very,
very
small
businesses.
Folks,
many
of
us
know
you
know
that
in
our
in
our
neighborhood
business
districts
who
are
operating,
you
know
micro
businesses,
you
know
less
than
15
person
shops
to
help
support
our
communities.
H
G
Obviously,
as
tom
mentioned
covet
has
had
a
big
impact
on
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
both
in
housing
and
in
the
business.
Here
is
some
examples
of
things
that
have
happened
as
a
result
of
covid
on
the
housing
front,
all
the
existing
covid
cdbg
funds
and
hof
funds,
hof
funds
for
rental
assistance
are
really
expended.
G
The
number
of
applications
on
the
housing
side
has
increased
from
20
to
40
per
month,
as
homeowners
are
looking
for
assistance
in
repairs,
given
that
now
people
are
staying
in
their
homes
and
realizing
that
these
critical
repairs
need
to
be
made
and
the
down
payment
assistance
program
is
becoming
even
more
important
as
banks
tighten
their
underwriting
guidelines
and
they're
requiring
borrowers
to
have
more
money
down
in
order
to
get
those
mortgages
and,
of
course,
on
the
business
side,
we
are
giving
out
more
loans.
Just
the
covid
programs
alone.
G
We
gave
out
284
loans,
which
is
an
enormous
increase
over
what
we
normally
produce
in
any
given
year,
and
those
loans
are
going
honestly,
they're
very
risky,
given
the
current
climate
and
the
economic
difficulties
that
businesses
are
having
across
the
city.
So
that's
a
snapshot
of
where
we
are
on
the
impact,
but,
of
course
we're
doing
everything
we
can
to
help
alleviate
some
of
those
gaps
and
issues
tom
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
If
you
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
business
area,
around
business
districts.
H
Yeah
for
sure,
thanks
so
much
jennifer,
so
you
know
building
all
the
themes
of
impact
of
covert
on
our
businesses
or
programs.
I
mean
you
know
I
I
won't
read
the
slide.
Necessarily
folks
can
see
this,
but
you
know
the
the
the
economic
crisis,
the
health,
the
health
crisis,
as
we
all
know,
is
really
amplified.
I
think
you
know
any
qualities
that
frankly
existed
prior
to
covet.
H
Disinvestment,
you
know
fourth
quarter
2019,
you
know
going
into
this
year.
You
know
the
cove
pandemic
is,
is
really
amplified
the
need
and
and
the
the
time
and
the
need
to
invest
in
business
districts
to
ensure
that
not
only
the
resilient
and
can
and
survive
the
economic
crisis
that
we're
facing,
but
really
be
positioned
to
take
advantage
of
recovery.
When
that
should
come,
you
know,
I
think,
we're
all
hopeful
that
recovery
will
come.
You
know
sooner
than
later.
L
H
Theme
and
you'll
see
this
throughout
the
presentation.
You
know
from
a
variety
of
folks,
but
on
the
on
the
on
the
business
side
and
the
neighborhood
business
district
side.
These
are
really
our
our
themes
right
now
and
how
we
think
about
our
work
every
day.
You
know
we
need
to,
and
so
we
need
to
support
our
locally
owned
businesses,
especially
our
minority
and
women-owned
businesses,
our
black-owned
businesses
and
sure,
resiliency
and
really
difficult
times.
H
You
know
ownership
and
wealth
creation,
one
of
the
things
we
talk
about
a
lot
and
we
you
know-
and
I
think
it
bears
in
our
work
and
as
we
think
about
our
work
moving
forward.
When
we
invest
in
a
business
we
invest
in
a
community,
we
invest
in
a
neighborhood
business
district.
We
really
need
to
think
about
how
do
we
preserve?
You,
know
community
ownership
of
that
investment
and
that
the
wealth
creations
is
felt
mostly
by
that
community
by
folks
in
the
neighborhood,
whether
that's
the
start
of
business,
owning
a
business.
H
You
know
your
one's
home,
you
know
be
able
to
get
a
job,
a
well
a
a
well-paying
job
and
to
build
wealth
in
these
different
manners.
That's
got
to
be
critical
and
at
the
core
of
the
work
we
do
and
we
we
believe
it
is
and
will
be
moving
forward,
and
it's
certainly
a
theme
throughout
throughout
our
work.
You
know,
affordability,
I
know
it's
a
topic
that
gets
talked
about
a
lot.
You
know,
as,
as
you
know,
as
markets
improve,
you
know,
there's
an
issues
of
affordable
commercial
right.
H
How
do
we
ensure
that
our
small
business
community
as
markets
improve,
have
a
place
at
the
table,
have
a
place
to
have
a
business
grow
without
being
maybe
being
a
bit
having
allow
for
installation
from
market
forces
that
could
lead
to
dislocation
so
we're
you
know,
have
strategies
and
you'll
see
throughout
the
presentation,
work
that
we
want
to
accomplish,
and
that's
in
that
and
that
space
and,
of
course
workforce.
This
is
something
we
do
as
a
matter.
Of
course.
Right
I
mean
our
work,
creates
jobs
and
we've
we've
talked
about
that.
H
That's
you
know
something
the
uart
has
done
for
many
years.
I
think
where
we're
really,
you
know
really
thinking
more
proactively
and
maybe
a
bit
of
a,
I
wouldn't
say
a
shift,
but
a
greater
focus
is
really
to
be
proactive
to
ensure
when
we
create
jobs
that
those
jobs
have
connections
to
the
folks
in
our
neighborhoods.
You
know
whether
it's
building
pathways
from
a
skill
perspective
ensuring
that
our
workforce
partners
are
at
the
table
to
help
folks
shepherd.
You
know
opportunities
to
the
jobs
that
we're
creating
from
a
skill
perspective
from
a
opportunity.
H
D
Yes,
thank
you
tom
and
thank
you
for
those
who
presented
thus
far
so
avenues
of
hope.
And
so
again
I
talked
earlier
about
the
ura
doing
a
bit
of
soul,
searching
and
really
trying
to
understand
who
we
are
as
an
organization
and
how
we
show
up
for
the
pittsburgh
community
and
in
light
of
the
pandemic.
And
when
you
look
at
all
of
the
different
studies
that
have
come
out
and
you
look
at
the
accolades
that
pittsburgh
receives
for
being
one
of
the
most.
If
not
the
most
livable
city
in
the
country.
D
D
It
became
very
clear
that
the
corridors
that
we
need
a
holistic
model
for
rebuilding
pittsburgh's
black
business
districts
and
that
this
model
needs
to
be
both
place
based
and
to
put
people
first
and
that
it
needs
to
intersect
at
all
different
metrics
of
quality
of
life,
so
that
we
have
sustainable
main
street
business
districts
and
key
parts
of
our
city.
And
so
the
goal
here
is
to
look
at
this
year's
budget
and
to
think
about.
D
How
can
we
intentionally
deploy
resources
to
these
areas
so
that
we
are
not
again
doing
studies
and
then
not
implementing
the
recommendations
that
have
been
made?
And
so
the
goal
of
avenues
of
hope
is
to
focus
on
seven
major
business
corridors
and
to
seek
ways
to
invest
in
existing
small
businesses
and
residents.
Using
our
current
suite
of
products
to
kind
of
spur
inclusive
growth
within
these
neighborhoods.
D
And
so,
if
you
think
about
the
implementation
phase,
that's
homewood,
which
is
in
district
nine
center
avenue
in
district
six
second
avenue
in
district
five
charters
avenue,
which
is
in
district
two
perrysville
avenue,
both
north
and
south,
which
is
split
between
districts.
One
and
six
larmor
avenue
in
district
nine
and
warrington
avenue
in
district
four.
And
so
this
thoughtful
holistic
model
is,
is
seeking
a
way
to
build
community
of
stakeholder
partnerships
from
our
stakeholder
base.
D
And
so
the
implementation
tools
and
tactics
should
look
very
familiar.
It
is
essentially
the
ura's
work,
the
work
that
we
do
in
business
districts
around
again:
strategic
site
assembly,
innovative
project
financing,
public
space
improvements,
cross-sector
coordination
with
the
goal
of
filling
storefronts,
with
folks
from
the
neighborhood
using
publicly
owned
assets
to
create
affordable
commercial
space
and
then
providing
those
wraparound
business
supports
and
services
that
are
needed
in
order
to
thrive
and
survive
from
a
housing
perspective.
D
The
ura
has,
you
know,
been
a
leader
in
f
in
finding
ways
to
to
deploy
flexible,
affordable
housing
financing.
The
hof
has
supported
first-time
homebuyer
programs
as
well
as
invested
in
affordable
rental
housing.
This
year
we
ramped
up
the
activity
of
our
pittsburgh
housing
development
corporation,
which
is
the
phdc
which
is
run
by
richard
snipe
at
the
ura,
and
the
focus
has
been
on
rehabbing
residential
units
for
the
purpose
of
affordable
home
ownership
and
then
providing
developer
supportive
services
to
community
groups
that
also
help
to
build
affordable
home
ownership
in
neighborhoods.
D
And
so
the
avenues
of
hope
model
is
really
built
around
the
center
avenue.
Revitalization
effort,
which
has
been
a
community
driven
process
which
aligns
with
the
community's
already
established
master
plan,
creates
opportunities
for
minority
and
local
developers.
I'm
not
going
to
read
the
slide
here,
but
the
goal
has
really
been
to
build
on
the
african-american
cultural
legacy
embedded
throughout
that
community
and
to
return
publicly
owned
property
back
to
productive
use,
while
building
a
community
ownership
and
wealth
building
model
for
the
neighborhood,
and
so
when
you
look
at
the
center
avenue
revitalization
effort.
D
D
D
Of
course,
it
can't
be
done
without
adequate
resources.
I
will
be
honest
with
you
and
say
that
even
with
a
10
million
dollar
ass
before
you,
it
is
not
going
to
be
enough
to
do
all
that
we
intend
to
do,
but
it
will
certainly
serve
as
an
activator
to
signal
that
the
ura
and
community
groups
are
in
need
of
the
types
of
partnerships
that
will
advance
these
neighborhood
scale,
projects
that
are
hopefully
stimulate
markets
with
by
honoring.
What's
already
there
and
not
spurring
gentrification.
C
Sorry
for
the
long
lead
in
here,
but
I
really
felt
it
was
necessary
for
the
council
to
really
understand
the
full
scope
and
breadth
of
the
ura's
work
and
some
of
the
challenges
we
faced
last
year.
But
we
anticipate
continuing
to
chat
to
to
face
in
the
in
the
coming
year
and
the
years
that
follow
so
in
some
again,
a
10.4
million
dollar
budget
request
and
that's
organized
nominally
into
two
broad
categories.
C
You
know
one
is
the
avenues
of
hope:
category
where
there's
a
full
8.6
plus
million
that
will
directly
impact
our
ability
to
implement
avenues
of
hope
and
then
the
the
other
category,
which
is
kind
of
a
grab
bag
of
the
other
stuff
that
we
do
that.
We
need
to
do
our
work
and
again,
as
I
said
earlier,
2021
is
shaping
up
to
be
potentially
an
even
more
challenging
rebuilding
year
for
city
than
2020
was,
and
so
with
that
we're
going
to
go
into
kind
of
a
line
by
line.
H
Thanks
so
much
greg
yeah,
it's
a
mainstream
place,
we'll
just
walk
through
these.
So
this
is
really.
You
know
where
the
request
here
is
for
monies
to
support.
You
know
investment
directly
into
real
estate
development,
specific
projects
where
you
know
the
ura
and
working
with
our
affiliate,
the
pi,
the
peidc,
which
is
a
the
industrial
development
corporation.
H
That's
an
affiliate
of
the
ura
really
to
invest
in
and
control
commercial
space
and
mixed-use
development,
so
either
as
a
master,
lessor
or
perhaps
as
an
owner
of
a
condominium
or
an
exclusive.
You
know
specific
commercial,
real
estate
development.
You
know
we
would
use
these
dollars
to
a
fill
gaps.
H
You
know
perform
funding,
gaps
that
are
created
in
performance,
but
also
underwrite
really
the
cost
of
the
development
so
that
we
can
control
the
space
long
term
to
to
maintain
affordable
rents
in
the
long
term,
so
that
we're
you
know,
frankly,
don't
have
to
you
know
the
deeper
the
subsidy,
the
less
you
need
to
borrow
frankly,
to
develop
these,
and
that's
really
the
assistance
we're
looking
for
to
support
main
these,
these
affordable
commercial
spaces.
We
have
about
four
to
six
projects
that
we
think
in
the
near.
H
H
Where
we're
you
know,
ura
as
a
landowner
working
through
our
process
to
to
put
together
a
you
know,
mixed-use
development
that
includes
a
significant,
affordable
housing
component,
but
also
includes
about
a
five
thousand
a
little
less,
but
about
a
five
thousand
square
foot
ground
floor,
commercial
opportunity.
You
know
our
our
plan
is,
to
you
know,
subject
to
fundraising
a
variety
of
other
moving
parts,
but
is
to
control
that
space
as
an
affordable
commercial
space.
H
For
you
know,
small
businesses,
you
know
primarily
in
the
hazelwood
community
along
the
second
avenue,
so
there's
a
gap
we're
trying
to
fill
in
that
project.
We
think
that's.
This
is
a
prime
use
for
the
the
monies
that
were.
You
know
again
hopeful
to
be
able
to
raise
through
this
process
to
invest
in
that
project.
H
Next
slide,
please
the
other
one.
That's
probably
you
know
most
ready
and
we're.
You
know
again
actively.
You
know
raising
monies
to
try
to.
Finally
to
put
this
project
together
is
larry,
more
choice,
neighborhood
phase,
three,
the
commercial
component
and
excuse
me,
I
misspoke.
This
is
the
up
to
about
a
five
thousand
square
foot
commercial
space
opportunity.
The
hazelwood
opportunity
is
actually
closer
to
about
seven
thousand
square
feet,
but
at
any
rate,
similar
similar
concept
here
is
for
the
idc.
H
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide
from
that
and
just
to
be
clear.
There's
these
are
two
of
the
highlight
projects.
We
think
you
know
two
and
a
half
million
dollars.
We
think,
depending
on
final
cost
budget,
that
type
of
thing
we
you
could
support
about
four
to
six
individual
projects.
There
are
a
handful
of
others
that
aren't
as
far
along
as
the
two
that
I
just
described,
that
could
be
benefits
of
the
beneficiaries
of
this
money.
H
Should
we
be
able
to
raise
it
to
again
with
a
similar
model
to
be
able
to
develop
and
hold
and
control
the
commercial
space
and
mixed-use
developments
to
hold.
You
know,
long-term
in
perpetuity
for
affordable
commercial
space
for
local
small
businesses.
The
next
line
item
main
street
people.
This
is
really
our
investment
directly
into
our
neighborhood
business
districts.
You
know
we
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
and
I
have
to
say
you
know
when
thinking
about
you
know
how
I
would
think
about
this
work.
H
A
year
ago,
the
work
we
did
in
the
past
several
months
with
cove,
but
you
know
we've.
It's
been
such
a
critical
piece
of
the
work
we
do
to
quickly
and
nimbly
react
to
to
opportunities
to
help
small
businesses
to
help
our
neighborhood
business
districts.
You
know
and
again
with
covent
in
a
real
crisis
situation.
So
you
know
one
thing
we
talk
about.
A
lot
is
access
to
capital
for
small
businesses.
H
So,
typically,
what
that
means
is,
you
know,
monies
to
a
business
from
a
lending
or
grant
making
perspective
to
you
know
to
grow
right
to,
or
you
know,
equipment,
financing
and
working
capital.
These
types
of
things
you
know,
one
of
the
things
we're
keen
on
is
it's
also
critically
important
that
we
provide
opportunities
for
businesses
to
grow
the
demand
side
right.
They
need
customers.
H
You
know
these
are
examples
of
some
of
the
work
we've
done
in
the
past
year
to
support
small
businesses.
We've
done
a
number
of
business
education
webinars
to
make
sure
small
businesses
had
full
access
to
information
on
how
to
apply
for
as
an
example,
the
wide
variety
of
emergency
assistance
programs
that
came
down
both
from
the
federal
government,
local
state
monies.
H
Grow
online
program,
gogo
affectionately,
called
you
know
something
we
launched
with
partners
to
really
help
businesses
build
capacity,
improve
their
e-commerce
capacity
and
online
presence.
I
mean
certainly
with
the
shutdowns
that
were
experienced,
even
as
we
think
about
today.
The
ability
for
small
businesses
to
sell
their
services
and
goods
in
an
electronic
fashion
is
absolutely
critical,
and
so
that's
a
program
that
we
were
able
to
support
and
roll
out
of
the
last
several
months
to
help
businesses.
You
know
about
87,
individual
businesses
were
supported
through
that
program.
L
H
Program,
this
was,
you
know,
again,
relatively
small
dollars,
but
really
impactful
we're
working
with
our
neighborhood
business
district
partners
on
promotion
and
activities
to
encourage
safely.
But
you
know
in
a
robust
way,
you
know
ability
for
stores
to
you
know
main
street
business
districts
serving
largely
retailers
to
interact
with
customers
in
a
safe
and
productive
way.
So
you
know,
we
think,
about
social
distancing.
We
think
about
how
to
how
you
need
to
rearrange
your
storefront
to
accommodate
customers.
This
type
of
work
is
something
that
we
were
able
to
roll
out.
H
H
You
know
again,
we
reach,
you
know
we
say
20
business
districts.
I
think,
if
you
include
all
of
our
education
webinars
that
grow
online
get
online,
it's
probably
pretty
much.
Every
business
district
in
the
city
is
served
in
some
form
or
capacity
through
these
programs,
but
you
know
the
reach
of
these
is
substantial.
I
mean
we
have
616
heroes,
actually
looking
at
some
even
more
recent
numbers.
H
It's
actually,
I
think
much
higher
than
that,
but
these
have
broad
broad
visibility,
broad
availability-
and
you
know
we're
excited-
to
provide
these
types
of
tools
and
creativity
again
to
help
small
businesses
and
neighborhood
business
districts
to
be
able
to
pivot
quickly
to
help
to
help
sustain
you
know
their
businesses
and
their
business
districts.
You
know
through
difficult
times,
but
again
as
we
think
about
recovery,
think
about
how
we
can
support
that
as
well.
You
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
thanks
I'll
talk
about
this.
H
I
H
Program
that
we've,
you
know,
we're
proud
to
be
able
to
support
and
partnership
with
certain
circles,
greater
pittsburgh.
It's
had
tremendous
impact,
it's
award-winning
actually,
at
the
national
international
level,
you
know
really
an
incubator
and
a
mentoring
and
technical
assistance
process
that
was
started
in
east
liberty.
You
know
we
have
an
initial
expansion
now,
actually
we're
hopeful
to
expand,
and
you
know
into
the
hill
district
the
center
helmet
plaza
to
provide
space
and
in
mentorship
and
ongoing
support
to
very,
very
small
businesses.
H
You
know
the
east
liberty
experience
has
been
a
hundred
percent
minority-owned
and
women-owned
businesses
to
really
help
folks.
You
know
to
start
a
business
to
sustain
and
hopefully
scale
over
time.
I
will
say
you
know
you
know
we.
We
see
a
lot
of
different
incubator
programs
out
there
and
accelerators.
This
has
not
just
been
successful
from
a
mission
perspective,
but
most
of
the
businesses
that
have
entered
the
program
and
are
involved
in
the
program
as
we
speak
continue
to
be
open,
which
you
know
in
many
incubators.
H
M
H
That
the
uae
was
able
to
leverage
a
good
portion
of
that
was
to
support
expansion
of
and
sustainability
of
our
catapult,
the
catapult
program.
One
of
the
you
know
this
money
is,
is
important
for
us
to
be
able
to
match
the
pnc
investment,
to
continue
to
be
able
to
pull
that
money
down
and
and
continue
to
expand
the
catapult
program
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
neighborhood
investment.
Next
slide.
This
is
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
This
is
our
as
diamante
mentioned,
our
neighborhood
investment
program
nif,
as
we
call
it.
H
So
this
is
really
monies
that
we
push
out
to
the
to
our
to
the
community
to
our
partners
at
the
neighborhood
level.
You
know
this
is
a
place-making
place-making
program.
It's
a
public
space
improvement
program.
It's
a
you
know:
neighborhood
real
estate
asset
stabilization
program,
but
recognizing
the
ua
doesn't
control
or
know
of
every
potential
project.
So
we
you
know
we
put.
H
The
program
is
pushed
out
to
the
community
to
really
help
neighborhood
scale,
projects
that
improve
that
can
make
significant
improvements
to
the
quality
of
life
and
sort
of
desirability
of
neighborhoods
at
a
smaller
scale,
and
so
we're.
You
know
we
through
a
you,
know,
request
for
proposal,
process
and
and
due
diligence
process.
You
know
we.
These
monies
are
made
available
in
a
competitive
way
to
our
community
partners
to
respond
to
the
to
the
needs
that
they,
our
communities,
have
to
make
these
strategic
investments
and
we're.
H
H
Shows
sort
of
the
impact
of
of
nif
in
the
past
year.
Actually,
you
know
overall,
I
think
we've
helped
29
individual
projects
over
the
two
rounds.
2019
2020
2020
commitments
was
about
570,
000.
you'll
know,
there's
about
100
000
left
that
we
have
yet
to
commit.
You
know
our
plan
right
now
is
subject
to
the
the
result.
You
know
this
process
and
what
we're
able
to
raise
we'll
be
able
to
roll
that
into
a
future
round
of
nif
applications,
but
you
can.
H
There
you
have,
through
the
the
variety
of
projects
that
we've
supported
from
public
realm
improvements
to
sort
of
vacant,
property,
stabilization,
historic
preservation
and
the
like.
You
know
the
next
slide.
Thanks
and
again,
we
you
know
a
neighborhood
scatter
show.
This
is
actually,
I
believe,
the
20
20
20
20.
H
Thank
you
list
of
commitments
and
where
they
fall
within
the
city,
but
you
can
see
many
of
them
actually
fall
within
avenues
of
hope,
but
not
not
all
of
them,
and
we,
you
know
this
is
a
program
that
you
know
you
know
we've
had
this.
That's
tremendous
success
in
helping
our
community
partners
and
look
forward
to
hopefully
continuing
to
offer
this
critical
tool
to
our
neighborhood
partners.
G
G
We
will
be
moving
the
micro
enterprise
loan
program
over
to
the
cdfi,
because
we
believe
that
we'll
be
able
to
further
resource
it,
a
bit
better,
a
bit
better
being
in
that
entity.
We
will
continue
to
service
these
programs
and
use
ura
staff
to
underwrite
and
manage
the
loans,
but
we
are
excited
about
the
opportunity
and
potential
that
the
cdfi
affords
us
to
scale
our
work
and
attract
additional
funding
opportunities.
F
So
I
want
to
first
off
thanks
city
council
and
the
city
for
their
amazing
investment
in
housing,
the
last
few
years
with
the
housing
opportunity
fund.
That,
of
course,
is
10
million.
That
comes
out
of
the
city's
operating
budget
each
year,
and
I
will
be
back
next
week
for
a
council
discussion
to
talk
about
how
we
are
allocating
to
2021
hof
funding.
And
then
today
this
request
is,
you
know,
from
the
cdbg
paygo
and
home.
The
ura
is
the
only
you
know,
sub
recipient
for
the
city
for
its
home
dollars.
F
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
continued
investment.
You
can
see
here
on
the
slide
that
today
we're
talking
about
a
request
for
4.4
million
for
affordable
rental
housing.
You'll
see
a
request
next
week
for
affordable
rental
housing
as
well,
and
that
is
because
there
is
a
shortage
of
20
000,
affordable
rental
units
in
the
city
to
help
households
at
50
percent
or
below
area
median
income.
F
So
these
types
of
programs
really
help
to
you
know
preserve
affordable
housing
into
the
future
next
slide,
and
this
is
just
to
show
you
that
we
do
invest
throughout
the
entire
city
of
pittsburgh.
You
know
the
building
in
the
in
in
the
top
corner
there,
preservation
of
the
montana
building
that
is
just
a
you
know:
existing
apartment
building
people
drive
by
it.
You
know
it's
just
a
cool
building
and
friendship,
but
the
rents
in
that
building
are
extremely
affordable
for
families
at
30
percent
ami.
F
Actually,
and
through
these
resources,
we
were
able
to
help
the
bloomfield
garfield
corporation
rehab
it
and
keep
it
affordable.
The
same
with
the
building,
the
blue
building.
You
see
there
in
oakland,
that's
also
existing
senior
housing
that
is
now
preserved
well
into
the
future,
and
you
can
see
the
new
construction
going
on
in
lawrenceville,
the
the
rehab
of
the
center
avenue
ymca
for
single
room
occupancy
for
men,
and
then
current
project
is
going
on
right
now
in
observatory
hill
as
well.
F
F
We
have
community
development
corporations
and
also
the
ura
has
a
affiliate
ourselves
called
the
pittsburgh
housing
development
corporation
that
acquires
rehabs
and
resells
homes.
They
can
also
build
homes
new
and
we
can
use
these
funding
to
help
subsidize
the
difference
between
the
total
of
alma
costs
and
an
affordable
sales
price
to
first-time
home
buyers.
You
can
see
here
a
picture
of
a
house
that
our
affiliate,
the
pittsburgh
housing
development,
corporation,
rehabbed
and
also
another
house
that
they,
they
rehab
and
the
first
time
home
buyer
standing
in
front
of
it.
F
Additionally,
the
housing
opportunity
fund
provides
additional
down
payment
and
closing
cost
assistance.
So
not
only
is
the
house
available
at
a
reasonable
price,
but
the
first
time
homeowner
can
also
apply
to
get
some
help
with
their
down
payment
through
a
mixture
of
our
programs
sourced
by
a
mixture
of
year,
funds
of
the
city
funds
next
slide-
and
this
is
just
another
picture.
This
is
a
house
in
mount
washington.
Our
the
phdc
depicts
pronunciation
development
corporation
works
all
over
the
city
and
almost
everyone's
council
district.
I
think
the
rehabbing
and
reselling
homes.
F
This
was
a
house
in
mount
washington
and
then
the
next
line
item
in
the
budget
related
to
housing
is
our
accessibility
program.
It's
called
happy
housing,
accessibility
for
program
for
independence
and,
what's
really
great
about
it,
is
it
helps
homeowners
and
landlords.
Do
repairs
for
mobility
purposes.
F
F
Here's
a
picture
of
a
before
and
after
shot
of
rehabbing
a
house
you
can
see
you
know
the
roof
was
done
and
we
do
windows
and
and
pretty
much
you
know
any
health
and
safety
items
and
then,
if
the
homeowner
also
needs
the
housing
accessibility
program,
we
can
do
that
as
well
or
someone
can
just
apply
to
the
housing
accessibility
program.
So
I
love
these
pictures
here
because
it
really
shows
that
you
know
a
small
amount
of
money
can
be
super
helpful
for
people.
You
can
see
here
through
the
happy
program.
D
D
We
have
helped
to
build
new
technology
systems
within
these
companies
to
allow
for
rapid
invoicing
and
prop
payment.
The
additional
economic
development
priorities
that
this
this
program
helps
to
satisfy
is
to
encourage
entrepreneurship
throughout
our
business
communities
and
to
expand
neighborhood
and
main
street
revitalization.
D
Efforts,
and
so
last,
but
certainly,
not
least
in
our
request,
is
a
new
item
for
the
ura
under
workforce
development,
and
so
I
think
that
the
work
that
we
do
is
already
inherent
to
workforce
development.
We
just
weren't
being
very
intentional
about
it,
and
so
this
year,
as
we
focus
on
building
wealth
in
communities
and
providing
some
level
of
economic
stability
within
our
families.
D
We
believe
that
it's
important
to
have
this
reflected
in
the
budget,
and
so
the
ask
here
is
for
about
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
which
will
allow
us
to
activate
two
to
three
first
source:
hiring
centers
within
neighborhoods
to
help
connect
50
500
to
1250
job
seekers
to
ura
opportunities.
The
ura
is
not
a
workforce
development
agency.
D
In
the
traditional
sense,
however,
we
do
feel
like
we
have
an
obligation
to
work
with
partners
within
the
ecosystem
to
make
sure
that
our
projects
are
not
happening
in
a
vacuum
and
that
folks
know
how
to
connect
to
these
large
spins
that
are
happening
within
within
communities.
And
so
the
ura
has
expended
its
own
dollars
this
year
in
2020
to
help
build
partnerships
with
partner
for
work
year
up
and
to
start
implementing,
citywide
employment
strategies
and
programs.
C
C
I
think
speaking
just
for
myself,
I
know
he's
speaking
for
the
other
staff
too,
but
I
think
we're
very
you
know
for
a
certain
respect
about
2021
in
terms
of
what
the
economy
will
bring,
but
I
think
we're
all
very
energized
the
passionate
about
the
challenges
before
us
and
I
think
we're
all
really
excited
about
new
initiatives
like
avenues
of
hope.
Quite
frankly,
it's
the
kind
of
work
I
thought
I
was
signed
up
for
when
I
came
to
pittsburgh.
So
really
really
excited
about
that.
C
I
think,
more
importantly,
it
requires
other
city
activities
and
city
departments
to
kind
of
come
in
around
it
to
really
propel
these
neighborhoods
in
a
way
that
that
needs
to
happen.
So
so
there
you
go.
It's
a
10.4
million
dollar
budget.
Ask
and
I've
been
reminded
that
this
does
not
really
represent
the
full
cost
of
what
it
costs
the
ura
to
deliver
these
services.
C
C
A
C
A
Thank
you
for
wrapping
it
up
for
us
and
just
a
reminder
to
the
public
and
to
I
know
those
of
you
who've
been
on
the
line.
It
was
nearly
an
hour
into
our
hearing,
so
we
have
members
who
have
been
on
the
line.
My
eye
goes
first
to
president
smith.
Who's
joined
us,
but
I
know
that
I
think
councilman
coghill
and
councilman
strasberger
have
been
with
us.
Council.
Burgess
has
been
with
us
throughout
the
hearing,
but
I'm
going
to.
A
L
A
N
So
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
all
their
good
work,
that
they've
put
in
in
being
able
to
pivot
and
address
everyone's
concerns
and
needs,
and
they
will
continue
to
do
so
as
we
move
forward.
My
one
question
is:
I'm
not
sure
if
I
saw
it
in
the
slides,
do
we
have
money
allocated
for
property,
stabilization.
D
D
However,
we
are
very
thankful
and
grateful
for
the
resources
that
have
been
allocated
and
we
and
we
have
looked
at
the
land
bank's
budget,
and
we
believe
that
there's
a
little
bit
there
to
get
the
work
started,
but
property
stabilization
will
be
a
gap
for
the
ura
and
we
have
to
find
other
ways
to
fund
it.
Should
it
not
come
through
the
city's
capital
budget
process.
N
So
I
think
that's
a
critical
item
that
we
as
a
body,
meaning
city
council.
Talking
to
my
members
at
this
point,
need
to
take
a
serious,
serious
look
at
I'm,
not
sure
where
we
pull
those
funds
from
right
now,
but
I
do
think
we
need
to
provide
them
with
property
property.
Stabilization
dollars.
Excuse
me
both
for
the
work
that
they've
already
presented,
but
also
for
the
land
bank
as
well,
and
with
that.
I
think
that
was
the
only
question
I
have.
I
can
jump
back
in
later,
if
necessary,.
A
Thank
you
councilman
level,
I'm
very
interested
in
making
sure
that
no
more
buildings
fall
down
and
certainly
we're
in
the
neighborhoods
that
we're
trying
to
rebuild.
We
shouldn't
be
letting
things
disintegrate
right
when
we're
trying
to
actually
find
your
resin.
Thank
you.
I'm
supportive
and
I'd
be
happy
to
try
to
find
some
funds.
This
is
a.
N
N
A
Like
we
say,
it's
always
a
roof
or
sewer
in
the
infrastructure
themselves,
it's
so
much
easier
to
preserve
than
to
build
new,
as
we've
seen
in
lots
of
city
neighborhoods,
especially
commercial
districts,
when
they
stay
empty,
I'm
not
sharing
properly,
I'm
supposed
to
be
just
different,
letting
members
go
first.
So
I
apologize,
I
believe,
councilman
coghill's
been
on
the
line
the
whole
time,
and
so
usually
we
go
in
order,
but
I
think
councilwoman
strasberger
was
here
with
us
too.
So
I'll
let
coghill
go
and
then
stressberger
and
then
councilman
burgess.
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilwoman
gross,
so
you
know.
Thank
you
folks
for
being
here.
You
know
first
thing,
my
first
impressions
after
your
presentation
as
well
you're
you've
got
a
lot
a
lot
of
different
things
on
your
plate.
You
know
it's
not
just
the
development
arm
of
the
city.
Here
I
mean
whether
it's
housing,
just
all
the
different
things
that
you're
you're
working
on.
M
F
Sure
so
how
it
works
is
most
of
home
buyers
take
the
full
thirty
thousand
dollars.
Five
thousand
is
a
straight
out:
grant
they
never
pay
it
back.
The
remaining
twenty
five
thousand
is
recorded
as
a
deferred
mortgage
on
their
house.
They
do
not
make
payments
on
it
while
they
live
there.
It
is
zero
percent
interest,
but
when
they
do
sell
the
house
ten
years
from
now
or
twenty
years
from
now,
they'll
get
an
appraisal
and
we
we
get
an
appraisal
at
the
time
we
close
them.
L
F
Their
appraised
value
has
increased,
then
we
will
take
up
to
the
25
000
back.
You
know
if
their
appraised
value
has
increased
that
much
if
it
has
not
increased,
or
it's
only
increased
a
little
bit,
we
won't
take
more
than
their
increase,
so
in
other
words,
we
won't,
you
know,
require
them
to
pay
pay
us
any
more
or
make
them
worse
off
than
they
were
before.
They
took
the
loan
off
from
us,
but.
M
The
intent
is
to
recover
the
money
someday
somebody,
the
homeowner,
who's
there
right
now,
because
they
probably
don't
have
the
resources.
Yes,
I
mean
it's
almost
like
that
commercial
with
tom
selleck.
What
is
it
the
you
know?
What
is
anybody?
Any
somebody
help
me
out.
You
know
you
refinance
your
home,
but
reverse.
A
M
F
Yeah
so
we're
basically
doing
it
as
a
loss,
so
so
the
money
that
I
that's
in
the
budget
request
generally
bridges
the
difference
between
total
development
cost
and
sales
price.
So
if
it
costs
200
000
to
for
a
cdc
to
acquire
property
and
repair
it,
but
they
sell
it
for
150,
because
that's
an
affordable
price,
then
that
50
000
difference
is
where
the
city's
grant
money
comes
in.
M
D
M
And
you
actually
are
very
instrumental
up
there
in
the
way
of
properties
that
you
know
your
own
and
you
know,
are
involved
in
first
thing
is
1601.
Thank
you
for
knocking
that
down.
For
me,
that
was
huge.
The
thing
was
like
a
rotten
tooth
there
and
I
couldn't
be
more
pleased
with
going
through
from
start
to
finish.
It
took
us
a
couple
of
years.
It's
now
gone,
and
now
it's
right
for
either
redevelopment
or
nothing.
You
know,
I've
said
just
just
a
grass
hill
would
be
sufficient
for
me
and
it
is.
M
It
really
is
it's
just
you
know
it's
a
dilapidated
things
were
falling
off
it
just
to
have
that
go
on.
Sometimes
you
don't
have
to
rebuild.
Sometimes
you
get
rid
of
things
and
it
revitalizes
the
district.
So
that's
one
clear
case.
I
did
want
to
point
out
that
that
the
building
across
the
street,
sixteen
hundred
I
had
previously
got
a
note,
saying
preliminary
preliminary
work
is
being
drafted
and
will
remain.
A
mix
of
the
ura
is
likely
to
rehab
the
building
on
spec
and
hope
and
get
it
active
to
sell.
K
J
C
We
did
get
an
inquiry
very
late
in
the
game
and
we're
following
through
on
that,
I'm
not
remembering
who
the
the
applicant
was,
but
they
came
at
the
very
end
of
the
three-month
rp
process,
but
you
know
we,
I
think
we're
kind
of
done
with
the
rfp
process
right
now.
I
don't
think
we
find
that
anybody
can
make
the
numbers
work
there.
So
we're
actually
contemplating
again.
C
But
I
think
it's
just
a
very
challenged
property
with
the
topography,
stormwater
issue
and
the
amount
of
rehab
it
requires
in
that
in
that
market,
and
that
sub
market
is
just
nobody
can
seem
to
make
the
numbers
work
on
it.
So
we
we,
we
probably
will
make
a
run
at
that
ourselves
in
the
coming
year.
Yeah.
M
M
M
You
know
not
to
mention,
of
course,
we
have
to
put
an
investment
into
it.
So
so
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
forget
about
the
developers.
We
should
keep
that
we
should
develop
it
ourselves.
It's
not
that
major
a
project
here.
This
is
not.
You
know.
This
is
not
some
eight-story.
You
know
you
know
100
000
square
footage
building.
This
is
this,
is
you
know
three
units
or
a
storefront
and
two
units?
So
so
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
we're
gonna
take
that
approach.
Now.
M
C
You
know,
probably
I'm
thinking
at
least
a
quarter
two
of
the
coming
year.
We
currently
are
without
a
director
for
pei
dc.
The
acting
director
has
left
to
take
another
will
be
leading
to
take
another
job,
so
we
need
to
fill
that
role
and
then
look
at
the
entire
range
of
projects
that
we
may
need
to
fund,
but
1600
broadway
is
the
kind
of
the
first.
C
We
see
that
as
kind
of
a
pilot
project
to
take
to
some
of
the
other
avenues,
so
I'm
anticipating
no
later
than
the
second
quarter
of
the
coming
year.
But
again
I
don't
know
how
serious
this
other
inquiry
was.
There
is
so
we're
following
through
on
that
now,
but
I
think
we're
just
gonna,
you
know,
put
their
head
down
and
just
do
it.
M
Yeah,
I
you
know
what
I
agree.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea
greg.
I
really
believe
it'll
it'll
be
a
nice
asset
for
for
the
ura.
If
you,
if
you
do
decide
to
hang
on
to
it,
one
other
note
up
there
in
beach
view.
I
want
to
say,
as
the
the
taco
stand,
I
don't
know
who,
on
the
line
is
familiar
with
the
taco
stand
that
we
had
built.
That
was
very
nice.
The
community
is
very
happy
about
it.
However,
I
will
say
this
about
it.
M
The
one
of
the
main
reasons
why
I
wanted
to
have
that
thing
built
was
the
iga
or
los
palmas,
who
runs
that
they
had
tarps
out.
There
all
went
all
year
long
and
I
don't
blame
them.
They
were
protecting
themselves
from
the
elements,
but
they
just
looked
like
hell.
You
know,
and
I
just
couldn't
aesthetically
I
just
then
I
thought
boy.
Wouldn't
it
be
nice
to
build,
so
we
built
a
taco
stand.
It's
great.
I
love
it.
M
I
don't
know
there
was
supposed
to
be
some
sides
on
it
now,
what
they're
doing
since
the
colder
weather
has
come
in
the
tarps
are
back
but
they're
hanging
from
the
sides,
not
over
the
roof.
At
least
you
know
for
this
moment,
but
they're
just
trying
to
shield
themselves
from
the
elements.
I
thought
that
there
was
a
and
I
had
my
office
look
into
it.
I
wasn't
sure
if
we
got
an
answer
yet,
but
why
I
have
you
on
the
line
I
thought
I'd
take
advantage.
M
I
thought
there
was
supposed
to
be
sides
that
snapped
in
snapped
out.
You
know
to
protect
them
from
the
elements
we
put
a
nice
roof
over
it,
which
is
great,
but
you
know
I'm
back
to
the
same
aesthetic
problem.
You
know
they're
hanging
tarps
from
it
to
protect
themselves
from
the
climate
still
so
anybody
know
anything
about
that
or.
D
M
C
It
could
cuts
with
cocktail
I
cut
out
for
on
mia
for
a
second
with
a
question
where,
where
are
we
with
the
potential
iga
sale?
That's
right!
Yeah!
Those
talks
are
ongoing.
I
think
they've
been
a
little
sporadic
they've
been
kind
of
stop
and
start
I'd
have
to
check
with
emily
as
to
where
they
are.
As
the
last.
C
I
left
that
I
think
the
folks
the
operator
of
iga
was
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
get
their
financials
together
and
we're
not
quite
I'm
not
quite
there
yet
in
terms
of
their
ability
to
commit
to
that
so,
but
we
will
follow
up
with
them.
It's
something
that
we're
potentially
interested
in
doing
if
they
are
to
show
an
interest
and
can
and
can
actually
resource
the
funds
to
be
able
to
buy
the
building,
we're
all
for
it
in
concept.
L
M
It
really
does,
I
hope
it
works
out,
I'm
not
sure
the
particulars,
but
but
again
thanks
for
all
the
you
know,
attention
and
you
know
to
the
properties
that
you
are
involved
with
in
my
neighborhoods.
It's
not
much
really
as
far
as
you
know,
your
end
goals
compared
to
the
rest
of
the
city,
but
and
and
that's
it
for
me-
you
know
again
thanks
for
being
here,
and
I
will
turn
it
back
to
you.
Madam
chair.
A
O
For
the
ura
thanks
councilwoman,
I
just
am
always
in
awe
of
your
ability
to
cobble
together
funds
from
disparate
sources
and
turn
it
into
really
impactful
projects
and
you've.
I
think
over
the
last
couple
of
years
have
really
helped
frame
it
and
you
know,
through
an
equity
lens,
as
councilman
lavelle
said,
and
it's
just
a
lot
clearer
for
me
as
a
council
member
and
I
think,
to
the
public
as
well,
how
you
focus
that
funding,
because
it's
coming
from
so
many
different
sources,
and
we
saw
that
during
covid.
O
You
know
early
on
in
the
pandemic,
when
you
were
really
the
filter
for
private
funding
and
public
funding
from
different
levels
of
government
and
philanthropy,
and
you
know
you
were
able
to
take
that
and
direct
it
properly.
So
you
know
just
major
kudos
to
all
of
you
for
the
for
the
work
that
you
were
able
to
do
so
nimbly.
I
guess
you
know
along
the
lines
of
what
I
was
asking
the
mayor's
office.
O
If,
if
there
is
the
potential,
maybe
not
in
the
first
quarter
of
2021,
but
perhaps
in
the
second
quarter
of
say,
some
sort
of
federal
funding,
that
is
either
infrastructure
related
or
covered
covet
related,
is
the
ura
ready
with
so-called
shovel-ready
projects
if
it
ends
up
being
more
of
an
infrastructure
side
thing
rather
than
a
covid
relief
package?
If
it's?
If
it's
truly
about
like
show
me
where
your
infrastructure
needs
are
show
me,
the
shovel
ready
projects
and
we'll
fund
it
is
that,
is
that
something
that
you're
prepared
for.
D
Absolutely
we
are,
and
if
you
look
at,
I
will
take
center
avenue
as
an
example.
It's
along
the
avenues
of
hope,
one
of
the
major
critical
needs
that
could
impede
the
ability
to
finish
these
projects
in
2021.
Are
the
infrastructure
needs?
So
if
we
were
able
to
draw
down
some
federal
funds
to
invest
in
shovel-ready
projects
such
as
those
that
we
see
in
the
hill
district,
we
also,
I
think
we
have
projects
in
just
about
every
district
from
an
affordable
housing
standpoint
that
could
desperately
use
those
dollars.
D
F
Sure,
yes,
we
we
have
worked
to
quantify
that
a
lot
councilman
strasberger.
We
have
locum
housing
tax
credit
developments
that
have
really
suffered
covet.
Related
economic
crisis
like
due
to
delays.
The
pricing
has
gone
down.
The
pricing
per
credit
has
gone
down,
which
creates
very
large
gaps
and-
and
I
do
have
those
numbers
so
if
the
city
needs
them,
you
know
to
be
able
to
quantify
that.
Yes,
we
need.
You
know
this
emergency
money
to
fill
the
gaps,
to
keep
development
going
and
then
likewise
on
infrastructure
as
well.
F
Diamante
mentioned
center
avenue
and
the
six
or
seven
you
know,
projects
that
are
working
on
center
avenue
right
now,
we're
collectively
together
they
have
over
a
million
dollars
of
infrastructure
costs
in
squirrel
hill.
The
action
housing
project
has
some
infrastructure
costs
and
there's
some
other
projects
as
well.
So,
yes,
we
could
get
that
to
you
if
needed,.
C
Yeah,
I
would
add
this
is
greg
and
I
would
add
that
pen
circle
is
another
one.
That's
the
engineering,
all
the
pre-engineering,
the
construction
drawings
have
all
been
developed,
but
it's
still
facing
a
funding
gap.
So
that's
purely
an
infrastructure,
very
shovel,
ready
project
that
we
could
execute
on.
E
I'd
also
just
note:
we
share
a
federal
lobbying
team
with
the
city,
so
when
there
are
opportunities
at
the
federal
level
we're
able
to
collaborate,
I
work
really
closely
with
the
mayor's
office
and
their
government
affairs
folks
we're
able
to
come
up
with
sort
of
a
singular
comprehensive
list
between
the
ura
and
the
city
that
really
allows
us
to
align
priorities,
we're
not
competing
against
each
other
and
we're
allowed
we're
able
to
speak
with
one
cohesive
and
powerful
voice
to
our
federal
partners
about
what
the
city
of
pittsburgh
needs
in.
In
those
terms.
E
E
O
Thank
you
and
then
I'll
just
end
with
an
observation,
I
mean
it's
really
striking
that,
as
you
know,
as
much
as
we're
we're
trying
to
do
with
a
in
a
really
difficult
situation
in
2020
and
likely
even
more
difficult
situation
in
2021
and
2022,
the
4.4
million
that
were
that.
We're
at
that.
We're
that
we're
distributing
you
know
to
to
affordable
housing
projects
is,
is
400
in
with
a
need
of
20
000.
Is
that
correct?
O
D
F
P
Yes,
first
of
all,
I
have
been
here
the
whole
time
too.
I
had
my
camera
off,
but
I
was
never.
I
was
here
the
whole
time.
That's
okay!
I
was
here
the
whole
time.
The
second
thing
is
before
I
say
some
comments.
It's
up
to
the
members
the
ura
is.
The
land
bank
is
moving
in
a
different
direction
that
we've
just
we've
been
working
on
for
the
last
six
months.
The
ura
will
lead
that
initiative.
P
They
can
talk
about
it
if
you
want
them
to,
but
if
not,
they
won't
it's
up
to
members
as
to
whether
you
want
and
or
a
quick
overview
as
to
the
new
direction
the
land
bank
and
the
ura
are
moving
to.
I
just
don't
know
if
that's
something
you
want
in
this
hearing
so
I'll
I'll.
Ask
that
question
before
before
giving
my
kind
of
overall
remarks.
P
I
Sure
yeah
joe
joe's
gonna
pull
up
this
screen
and
share
a
couple
of
slides.
So
while
we
did
not
prepare
a
formal
hearing
presentation
because
there
is
no
line
item
for
2021
for
the
pittsburgh
land
bank,
as
reverend
burgess
said,
we're
pretty
excited
about
some
of
the
momentum,
that's
been
happening
lately.
So
these
are
some
slides
that
we
pulled
from
the
november
pittsburgh
land
bank
board
of
directors,
public
meeting
next
slide
joe.
I
I
I
The
land
bank
has
the
potential
to
be
a
really
powerful
tool
for
community-based
development,
so
we're
really
excited
to
to
start
this
new
direction
and
get
the
land
bank
up
and
functioning
so
step.
One
is
to
integrate
the
land
bank
at
the
same
time,
we'd
like
to
address
those
pain
points
that
have
plagued
the
land
recycling
system
over
the
past
several
years
and
working
on
both
of
those
together.
We
believe
that
that
will
help
to
advance
the
plb's
work
and
mission
next
slide.
I
I
The
pittsburgh
property
reserve
is
a
program
that
was
created
through
the
city
of
pittsburgh
through
council
legislation,
and
it's
a
way
that
community
development
corporations
can
request
properties
into
tax
foreclosure
and
subsequently
purchase
them
from
the
city
at
a
set
price.
It's
essentially
a
set
aside
of
a
small
portion
of
properties,
specifically
for
cdc's
as
part
of
the
tri-party
cooperation
agreement
that
was
signed
in
2018
between
the
city,
the
pittsburgh
land
bank
and
the
ura.
The
operations
of
the
pittsburgh
property
reserve
will
transition
to
the
pittsburgh
land
bank.
I
So
we
see
that
as
one
of
our
top
priorities
getting
that
program
modernized
so
that
cdcs
have
access
to
property
phase
three
will
be
scaling
and
growing,
as
well
as
the
development
of
a
public
property's
front
door.
So
if
somebody
wants
to
acquire
property
or
somebody's
interested
in
property,
that's
owned,
whether
it's
owned
by
the
city,
the
ura
or
the
land
bank.
There
will
be
one
central
point
of
contact
to
help
improve
the
end
users
experience,
so
those
are
kind
of
our
first
three
implementation
phases.
I
I
L
P
P
P
I
guess
you
know
when
I
had
a
chance
to
meet
incoming
president
joe
biden,
and
he
had
heard
of
my
work.
It
changed
sort
of
my
perspective.
I
realized
that
for
the
for
the
life
for
them
for
the
next
part
of
my
career
on
council
and
beyond
my
role,
although
probably
has
not
been
that
but
now
I'll
be
very
more
public,
that
my
role
is
not
just
as
the
councilman
of
the
ninth
council
district,
but
really
as
a
helper
of
development.
P
P
If
council
people
ask
me,
I
will
help
you
with
my
expertise,
but
if
it's
an
african-american
community,
I
will
go
into
those
community
here,
regardless
of
where
it's
at
in
the
city
and
provide
them
with
my
expertise
and
my
insight,
because
I
think
that-
and
my
interest,
though,
is
not
just
affordable
housing.
We
get
better
as
a
whole,
and
so
my
I
as
I
am
as
committed
to
affluent
communities
in
many
ways
as
I
am
the
poor
communities,
because
they
they
work
together.
So
I
I
want
to
thank
the
ura.
P
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
allowing
me
to
to
do
this.
I
I
hope
the
council
people
will
partner
with
me
I'm
willing
to
work
with
them
irregardless
of
differences.
This
work
is
more
important
than
that.
I
do
think
I
have
some
unique
perspectives
and
experiences
and
giftedness
to
do
this
work,
and
I
I
just
want
to.
P
Is
that,
of
course-
and
you
know,
criminal
justice
was
always
been
my
interest
public
safety.
But
how
do
we?
How
do
I
now
partner
with
the
ura
the
housing
authority,
to
create
this
new
pittsburgh
along
with
this
mayor,
I
hope
to
partner
with
council
members,
but
even
without
their
partnership?
This
is
the
work
I
will
do
and
I'm
committed
to.
So
thank
you
for
this
moment
of
sort
of
making
that
sort
of
public
statement.
P
A
F
So
so,
if
someone
gets
about
her,
they
have
a
30
chance
of
finding
a
unit
that
will
take
a
voucher
when
we,
when
we
support
through
funding,
you
know
developers
projects
they
almost
all
you
know,
take
vouchers.
Additionally,
the
rents,
through
the
low
income
housing
tax
credit
program
are
set
up,
that
someone
really
doesn't
need
a
voucher.
F
Q
Q
F
Right
so
so
our
developments,
they
they
go
up
on
pahousing.com,
it's
it's
a
phfa
funded
website,
but
the
housing
authority
is
also
we.
We
also
communicate
with
them.
So
when
they
get
people
that
just
get
a
voucher,
they
let
people
know
of
any
opening
that
we
have.
I,
I
will
say
that
that
the
ura
we
don't
have
control
over
over
their
voucher
system.
You
know
like
who
they
who
they
give
a
voucher
to
or
their
lottery
or
their
order,
so
that
we
cannot
control.
F
L
D
Program
it,
it
might
also
be
helpful
to
mention
the
small
landlord
program
the
ura
developed,
which
is
to
bring
more
affordable
units
online.
That
can
accept
vouchers.
It
won't
crack
a
huge
dent
in
the
issue,
but
it
is
a
program
I
think
that
we
contemplated
and
talked
about
in
the
capital
budget,
and
that
we've
done
some
independent
fundraising
around,
so
that
we
can
so
that
fewer
of
those
vouchers
are
forfeited
within
the
city.
Q
F
The
small
landlord
program,
so
basically,
if
a
landlord
wants
to
rent
to
you,
know,
work
their
unit
affordably
to
section
8
or
not
to
section
8
they
can.
They
can
apply
to
us
for
a
low
interest
loan
to
fix
up
their
properties
to
pass
section.
8
inspections,
because
that
is
also
an
issue
in
the
city-
is
that
people
have
some
trouble
passing
the
section
8
inspections
and
we
do
have
a
working
relationship
with
the
housing
authority
where
they
will
refer
people
who
failed
their
section.
8
inspections
to
the
ura
small.
F
L
F
Q
F
To
fill
the
gaps
in
the
units
that
are
turned
down
for
section,
8
inspection,
yeah,
wow,
that's
a
good
question.
I
don't
know.
I
should
ask
the
housing
authority
that
I
think
you
know
at
about
5
000
per
unit.
You
know
we
could
do
the
math
that
that
would
be.
You
know
20
per
100
000,
so
we
could
do
a
hundred
with
a
million.
We
probably
need
at
least
five
million
to
to
make
a
dent.
Q
That's
interesting
very
good
to
know.
I
would
be
interested
to
know
what
that
what
that
number
is,
because
you
know
the
affordable
housing
task
force
is
gonna,
be
started
up
again,
and
you
know
just
curious
on
how
we
can
you
know,
learn
more
about
these
gaps
because
we
continually
talk
about.
I
can't
really
hear
about
the
housing
opportunity
fund,
which
is
was
great,
but
you
know
there's
this.
I
don't.
Q
I
don't
want
this
to
get
lost
in
that
conversation
about
how
many
people
are
are
waiting
for
housing
and
what
situation
are
they
in?
Are
they
living
with
someone
else?
Are
they
paying
more
than
30
of
their
income?
What
like
what
situations
are
you
know,
people
that
are
on
this
wait
list?
What
are
they
going
through.
F
Q
I
We're
going
to
look
for
properties
that
already
have
title
quieted
in
its
name,
so
not
properties
that
need
to
go
through
the
long
and
cumbersome
court
process
to
have
the
title
cleared
or
properties
that
are
owned
by
the
ura.
So
to
get
the
land
bank
to
actually
transact
on
land,
to
figure
out
all
the
kinks
and
show
that
it
can
do
it.
I
Q
I
We
do
from
time
to
time.
I
think
our
first
look
would
be
the
city's
inventory,
it's
surplus
inventory
and
then,
over
the
past
year,
since
director
flism
has
joined,
we've
really
put
together
a
pretty
solid
real
estate
strategy
and
have
developed
some
mapping
tools
to
identify
which
properties
are
best
suited
for
development
under
several
different
criteria.
So
I
think
we'd
look
there
as
well
as
the
market
value
analysis
that
should
be
done
sometime
this
year.
I
think,
looking
at
the
strength
of
residential
markets.
Q
A
A
F
A
A
Mm-Hmm
and
I've
seen
it
similar
with
the
kind
of
like
attack
nine
percent
developments
that
are
usually
the
only
45
or
50
units
that
go
up
right.
The
one
and
morning
sides
the
one
on
penn
avenue
in
matilda
and
matilda.
They
filled
up
right
away
and
just
have
consistent
waiting
lists.
That's
correct
right
and
though
you
showed
in
your
slideshow
the
one
under
construction
on
butler
street
and
lawrenceville,
we'll,
hopefully
be
adding
more
units.
A
In
my
district
with
the
inclusionary
zoning
requirements,
we
have
construction
moving
forward
at
40th
and
butler,
which
is
just
up
the
street
from
the
doughboy
one.
That's
the
litec
deal,
which
hopefully
we'll
see
35
new
units
there
and
you'll
also
be
working
with
the
housing
authority
to
make
sure
that
those
units
go
to
people
who
are
at
50,
am
I
or
below,
and
I'm
sure
the
same
thing
is
true:
councilman
strasburger's
district
that
has
units
going
forward.
A
A
If
we
all
recall
that
lambic
has
that
the
city
real
estate
department
doesn't
have
the
city
real
estate
department
has
to
do
kind
of
each
house
right
like
file
for
title
clearing,
wait
for
a
court
date,
wait
for
public
notice.
Do
the
whole
then
start,
you
know:
do
the
next
one
and
kind
of
keep
the
they
each
have
to
be
in
their
own
queue?
A
And
so
you
can't
we
have
so
many
decades
of
inventory
that
has
piled
up
that
it's
thousands
right,
but
then,
when
you're,
a
citizen
on
the
street
you're
thinking
well
gosh,
this
is
so
stupid.
20
000
people
need
houses
and
there's
like
10
000
houses
sitting
there.
What
is
your
problem
right?
So
what?
What
is
the
answer
that
we
are
to
tell
them
that
that's
what
we
should
see
moving
forward
in
2021?
I
I
think
that
that
will
be
part
of
the
scale
and
grow
phase.
You're
right,
the
city
has
a
lot
a
lot
of
surplus
property.
That's
sitting
on
that
does
not
have
clear
title
and
the
other
thing
I
don't
think
people
realize
about
clearing
title
is
how
much
legal
research
is
needed
to
be
able
to
petition
the
court
to
be
able
to
identify
all
of
the
potential
lien
holders
and
petition
the
court
to
quiet
the
title.
I
So
I
think
that
that
takes
a
lot
of
time
and
we
think
that
by
contracting
with
outside
counsel,
they
can
help
expedite
that
research.
That's
needed.
I
think
where
the
opportunity
is
nathan,
you,
you
can
probably
say
this
a
little
bit
better
than
I
can
so
chime
in
if
you'd
like.
But
there
are,
you
know,
there
are
properties
that
are
in
the
city's
inventory
that
went
through
the
second
class
city's
treasurer's
act
and
the
second
class
city's
treasurer's
act
does
not
clear
municipal
liens,
so
we
think.
I
I
So
that's
part
of
the
first
phase
of
1b
is
approaching
the
three
taxing
bodies,
so
the
city,
the
county
and
the
school
district
approaching
them
to
amend
that
agreement
to
either
add
the
ura
and
the
pittsburgh
land
bank,
as
parties
to
the
agreement
or
to
allow
the
city
to
designate
the
ura
or
the
pittsburgh
land
bank
as
the
agent.
The
city
right
now
acts
as
the
agent
of
the
taxing
bodies.
I
So
we
think
that
by
amending
that
agreement
that
can
help
the
process
move
quicker
and
then
I
think
where
the
land
banks,
powers
of
quieting
title
can
really
expedite
is
for
properties
that
haven't
haven't
been
acquired.
Yet
is
that
right,
nathan,
the
the
properties
that
haven't
gone
into
city
ownership.
K
A
A
G
Our
our
loan
programs
are
revolving
loan
funds,
so
the
dollars
that
come
back
through
payments
absolutely
get
lent
back
out.
All
of
our
programs
work.
That
way.
Of
course,
like
any
institution
we
do
deal
with
defaults,
business
is
closing
and
our
interest
rates
are
extremely
low,
and
so
we
aren't
exactly
always
made
whole,
but
we
are
always
also
looking
to.
A
A
G
We
are
starting
that
that
entity
and
spinning
it
off
it's
its
own
nonprofit,
its
own
organization,
and
we
believe
that,
having
that
cfi
will
help
us
to
attract
additional
capital
from
banks
who
are
looking
for
cra
credits
and
other
philanthropic
sources
that
are
looking
to
lend
to
a
non-profit
or
a
cdfi.
It
also
opens
this
up
for
some
federal
dollars
that
only
cdfis
are
eligible
to
receive
and
the
reason
we
are
doing.
That
is
because
we
want
to
make
a
bigger
impact.
G
I
mean
we
certainly
believe
in
what
we've
done
thus
far,
but
the
need
is
great
not
just
in
housing
but
in
business
and
in
the
avenues
of
hope
communities
even
more
specifically,
and
so
in
order
to
really
help
make
a
bigger
impact.
We
are
trying
to
be
creative
about.
How
can
we
bring
in
additional
dollars,
deploy
those
dollars
and,
of
course,
keep
it
going?
It
is
intended
to
be
a
revolving
loan
mechanism.
A
Well,
I'm
fully
supportive.
I
think
it's
about
it's
decades
overdue,
in
fact
that
the
city
be
supporting
a
cdfi
increased
activity
for
especially
around
small
business,
because
we
have
some
in
the
region,
but
really
we
don't.
We
have
more
demand
than
we
have
capacity
in
our
cdfi
industry
and
there's.
Certainly
if
you
look
at
the
national
community
capital
association,
it's
a
multitude
of
tools.
It's
not
just
the
business
lending
right.
A
Almost
all
other
cities
have
moved
into
what
we
see
in
our
non-governmental
sector
here,
including
cooperative
ownership,
including
land
trust
both
residential
and
commercial,
including
employee
ownership.
Councilman
strasberger
co-chaired
a
task
force
around
that
that
some
members
have
been
on
right.
A
A
This
is
like,
as
you
said,
I
actually
helped
write
a
cdfi
treasury
department
grant
long
long
ago
in
a
previous
lifetime,
we've
brought
millions
of
dollars
into
the
city,
and
so
I'm
familiar
with
that
process,
like
I
said
it's
been
going
on
for
decades
and
other
cities
are
way
ahead
of
us
frankly.
So
I
think
it's
definitely
a
place
where
it's
where
it's
due.
A
M
M
You
know
for
home
improvements
15
years
from
now
that
person
is
deceased,
the
children
come
in
and
they
look
at
things
and
they're
like
well,
look.
We
have
to
either
sell
the
house,
or
one
of
us
could
buy
it
now
they
are
entitled
to
pay
us
thirty
thousand
dollars
if
they
do
not
sell
that
house
correct.
F
B
F
M
F
That's
correct
so,
with
the
hof
program
we
have
six
non-profit
administrators,
we're
bringing
on
a
seventh
and
then
we
do
have
four
or
five
for-profit
contractors.
Some
of
them
came
through
our
mwbe
program
and
some
came
through.
You
know
the
neighborhood
cdc's,
but
we
will
work
with
any
certified
contractor.
F
M
A
A
Q
Yes,
and
thank
you
thanks
we'll
do
that
transition
thanks
a
lot
and
yes
now
we're
going
to
start
the
portion
of
the
the
budget
hearing,
which
is
city
planning,
I'm
bobby
wilson.
I
chair
the
land
use
and
economic
development
committee,
and
this
is
city
planning's
portion
of
the
hearing
today,
I'm
joined
by
director
dash
and
also
before
we
go
to
director
I'd
like
to
to
give
it
to
director
of
bannock
to
to
give
us
a
brief
overview
of
your
department
and
what
we
are
seeing
in
the
budget
so
bill.
B
Thank
you,
councilman.
The
department
of
city
planning
establishes
and
sustains
an
orderly
and
consistent
plate
in
use
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh
that
incorporates
sustainability,
city
design,
resilience,
equity
and
opportunity
in
its
work
to
achieve
this
and
city
planning
works
with
communities,
civic
organizations
and
public
entities
to
develop
policies,
projects
and
programs
at
the
neighborhood
and
city-wide
scale
and
implements
these
policies
through
regulations,
public
commissions
and
review
of
land
development
plans,
master
plans
and
projects
for
compliance
with
those
policies
and
regulations.
B
Let
me
switch
my
screen
here:
the
total
budget
for
city
planning.
Against
again
we
we're
speaking
in
relevance
to
reductions
this
year,
the
total
budget's
three
million
three
hundred
and
nine
thousand
dollars.
That's
a
decrease
of
what
was
anticipated
in
last
year's
five-year
plan
of
692
000
or
17.3
percent
total
full-time
positions;
44.
B
B
Q
Q
R
Yeah,
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
introduce?
Thank
you,
councilman
and
thank
you
council.
You
know
we
for
all
hanging
in
there
all
day
and
getting
to
this
point
I
will
have
kind
of
staff,
leadership
or
department
leadership
introduce
themselves.
I
do
have
a
presentation
to
go
through
the
department
and
its
work
and
where
we
see
our
our
budget
supporting
that
and
then
and
then
obviously
all
of
us
will
be
available
for
questions
so
since
corey
is
kind
of
you
know.
R
J
R
So
you
know,
I
mean
you
know
our
division
heads
introduced
themselves
in
addition
to
the
four
divisions
that
you
show
on
screen.
We
have
you
know,
leah
talked
about,
you
know
the
division
of
community
community
affairs
and
the
group
there
they're
a
group
that
are
under
a
city,
planning's
budget,
but
are
both
do
work
in
city
planning
as
a
part
of
the
mayor's
office.
R
You
know,
as
bill
had
stated,
you
know
our
our
goal
is
in
our
work
is
really
around
land
use,
and
you
know,
and
and
policies
and
programs
to
support
that
with
the
ultimate
goal
of
creating
an
equitable,
sustainable
and
thriving
pittsburgh.
You
know
that
is
based
on
a
city
of
neighborhoods,
so
you
see
our
work.
You
know
in
things
like
citywide
policy,
the
resilience
strategy
or
climate
action
planning,
our
comprehensive
planning,
district
level
planning
being
you
know,
primarily
our
neighborhood
plans,
but
those
could
also
be
things
like
park.
R
Master
planning
regulation
where
we
are,
you
know,
corey
and
his
team
and
zoning
and
development
review.
You
know
their
role
is
really
around,
or
primarily
around
private
development
and
the
regulation
and
review
of
private
development
and
then
in
implementation
projects,
whether
that
is
work
that
we
do
supporting
our
other
departments
or
work
that
you
know
that
either
sarah
and
her
team
do
around.
You
know
around
the
city's
public,
art
collection
or
some
other
one-off
projects.
R
As
bill
stated,
you
know
our
budget
overview
for
2021.
The
department
shows
44
positions,
which
is
down
four
from
the
2020
budget.
It's
about
a
20
decrease
in
you
know.
In
overall
budget
from
last
year
there
were
the
two
capital
projects
that
he
had
outlined
for
260
000,
which
is
a
reduction
of
about
45
from
our
2020
capital
budget,
outlined
in
ada
compliance
in
the
conference
plan.
R
You
know
I
want
to
talk,
walk
through
some
of
what
we've
done
with
prior
budget
dollars,
some
of
the
prior
budget
dollars
and
projects
that
still
you
know,
will
exist
in
the
2021,
which
I
think
will
outline
that,
even
though
there
is
a
reduction
in
the
budget
that
we
have
for
projects
that
we
have
a
lot
of
projects
that
have
recently
started.
As
you
all
know,
I
was
before
you
four
and
a
half
months
ago
to
you
know
for
the
permanent
directorship.
R
So
you
know
in
that
time
have
started
to
launch
a
series
of
programs
and
and
bring
some
projects
that
we're
going
to
get
started.
We
probably
won't
start
until
2021
or
started
late
in
the
year.
That
will
continue
on,
but
will
cue
kind
of
where
will
be
and
where
will
look
to
be
asking
you
for
funding
for
the
2022
budget,
so
first
strategic
planning.
This
is
12
of
our
positions,
which
is
down
two
from
the
2020
budget.
R
So
we
did
do
the
first
round
of
public
engagement
had
about
450
people
participate
in
a
specifically
valid
survey.
Had
another
600,
you
know
you
know,
participate
in
part
of
you
know
our
online
engagement
and
then
did
a
series
of
six
working
groups
in
communities
that
were
listed
in
our
conditions
and
trends
report
as
being
most
vulnerable
to
displacement.
So
as
a
part
of
the
conditions
and
trends
report,
which
is
essentially
the
existing
conditions
report
for
the
conference
of
plan.
R
One
of
the
things
that
was
noted
is
that
there
are
areas
you
know.
Growth
in
pittsburgh
has
been
uneven
and
it
is
a
and
whether
that
be
historic
policies,
you
know
or
or
other
things
have
really
led
to
a
different.
You
know
different
pittsburghs
in
different
locations
and
that
some
of
those
locations
have
residents
that
have
places
that
are
really
vulnerable
to
displacement,
and
so
you
know,
the
intent
of
the
comprehensive
plan
was
to
focus
on
those
areas,
and
so
we
did
targeted
outreach
and
did
focus
groups
in
those
areas.
R
Public
engagement,
so
you
know
in
2019,
completed
the
public
engagement
guide.
The
pandemic
led
to
you,
know
us
having
to
to
really
adapt
pretty
quickly
to
think
about
how
we
can
continue
to
engage
residents
during
this
time.
So
we
did
launch
the
engage
pgh
page.
You
know,
which
was
you
know,
our
the
city's
online
engagement.
R
R
You
know
which
was
a
response
to
you
know
our
ability
to
be
able
to
continue
to
engage
residents
during
this
period
of
time,
also
for
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we
do
around
development.
So
you
know
a
lot
of
the
boards
and
commissions
occur
in
our
zoning
and
development
review
team.
With
that
you
know,
there's
a
public
side
to
that
development,
and
you
know,
and
so
those
virtual
development
activities
meetings.
R
R
R
Moving
to
environmental
planning,
we
did
launch-
and
you
know,
have
been
working
on
amendments
to
title
13
of
the
city's
code,
the
stormwater
management
code,
and
this
you
know-
we've
had
public
engagements
that
have
been
around
that
we're.
Currently,
you
know
in
the
st,
in
the
stage
of
kind
of
creating
memos,
for
particular
changes
to
the
code
to
then
beginning
beginning
to
develop
drafts
of
that
on
the
environmental
planning
frontal
as
well.
R
R
So
where
that
leads
us
to
2021
is
you
know
in
the
areas
that
are
on
here
in
italics,
are
ones
that
are
funded
by
prior
year
budget
and
then
the
ones
that
are
bold
are
ones
that
are
in
the
2021
budget.
That's
proposed
to
council,
and
so
we
will
be
continuing
the
like.
I
said,
the
forging
pgh
the
comprehensive
planning
process
through
2021
will
also
be
in
in
continuation
of
the
online
engagement
platform,
engage
pgh,
which
is
in
our
operating
budget.
R
Then,
from
the
neighborhood
planning
perspective,
one
of
the
items
that
was
in
you
know
the
2021
budget
was
streetscape
work
for
manchester
chateau.
That
is
an
implementation
of
that
neighborhood
plan.
We
do
also
have
money
in
prior
budgets
to
do
some
implementation
in
uptown
and
we
will
be
working
in
homewood
and
hazelwood,
we'll
be
continuing.
R
That
is
something
we've
had
conversations
with
the
community
and
are
looking
actually
to
draft
an
rfp.
You
know
pretty
pretty
shortly
from
the
disability
side,
we
will
begin
the
transition
plan.
This
is
something
that
is
required
by
the
ada,
but
is
essentially
the
city's
roadmap
for
how
it
looks
to
address
accessibility
issues
and
plan
for
people
with
disabilities.
R
We
will
be
continuing
our
architectural
inventory
and
historic
district
work.
You
know
with
prior
budget
and
then,
as
jessica
had
mentioned,
when
the
ura
talked,
and
you
know
we
will
be
updating
the
city's
housing
needs
assessment.
This
is
a
part
of
the
you
know.
This
is
partially
a
part
of
the
comprehensive
planning
work,
but
it's
also
because
that
that
work
is
now
will
now
be
five
years
old.
You
know
both
the
ura,
the
housing
authority
and
the
department
we're
all
looking
for
an
update
to
that
information.
R
So
this
is
a
place
where
we
are
all
working
together,
but
city
planning
will
be
managing
that
update
to
the
housing,
needs
assessment
and
we'll
be
reconvening
the
affordable
housing
task
force
to
be
able
to
assist
us
in
that
process,
and
then
you
know.
We
hope
that
that
work
will
also
inform
us
around
some
of
the
zoning
initiatives
that
we
have
around
housing.
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
minute.
R
R
I
will
not
focus
there
due
to
time
some
of
the
big
things
that
we
saw
from
this
team:
completing
the
voluntary
review
for
the
un's
sustainable
development
goals.
The
mayor's
announcement
of
the
marshall
plan
for
middle
america,
zoning
code
amendments
to
encourage
net
zero
for
city
buildings,
a
lot
of
work
on
you
know
more
specifically
with
contracting
for
the
city
and
other
users
around
energy
contracting,
which
is
able
to
been
able
to
not
only
save
the
city
money.
R
You
know
some
things
that
we
see
for
2021
with
this
group.
Is
you
know?
One
thing
that
is
in
our
operating
budget
is
building
an
energy
benchmarking
tool
to
really
continue
the
good
work
that
this
team
has
done
around.
You
know
trying
to
identify
energy
usage
of
buildings
to
be
able
to
help
us
have
a
better
baseline,
and
you
know
better
data
sources
to
be
able
to
understand
how
we
implement
our
climate
action
plan.
R
You
know
our
collaboration
with
the
national
resources
defense
council
on
food.
You
know
work
with
development,
and
this
has
been
part
of
our
work
with
you
know,
with
some
of
our
sister
city
or
close
to
sister
city
arrangements.
You
know
around
climate
energy
and
you
know
specifically
with
the
city
of
our
house
in
denmark.
You
know
where
we
will
be.
You
know
working
to
develop
that
further
and
integrate
that
further
into
all
the
work
that
we
do
talked
about
street
lights.
R
You
know,
looking
at
code
updates
for
lighting
code,
looking
at
further
furthering
code
updates
relative
to
net
zero,
you
know
continuing
development
of
a
city-wide
energy
strategy
and
playing
that
support
role
for
sustainability
projects
across
the
board,
public
art
and
civic
design.
This
is
you
know.
Sarah
manages
a
powerful
team
of
two
that
will
stay
too
in
2021.
R
R
R
In
partnership
with
public
works,
there
have
been
some
public
art
installations,
such
as
the
broadway
avenue
work
as
a
part
of
the
public
realm
project
there
and
as
a
part
of
percent
for
art
that
we
see
with
other
capital.
Improvements
like
whiteman
park
have
instituted
planning
around
other
percent
for
art
projects.
R
And
so
next
year
we
did
not
receive
funding.
There
is
no
funding
in
this
for
2021,
so
we
do
have
some
prior
year
funding
that
we
will
be
that
we
will
be
spending
down
for
some
restoration
of
monuments
and
artworks
for
the
launch
of
the
arts
and
parks
program
and
for
work
that
is
required
via
the
the
i5.
Is
the
crosstown
boulevard
cap
project
relative
to
the
cantini
murals?
So
we
will
begin
beginning
planning
for
that.
R
R
R
You
know
we'll
continue
to
to
see
you
know
movement
in
this
division
through
2021,
further
coordinating
with
pli
and
with
domi
who
came
onto
the
one
stop
project
you
know,
came
live
with
one
stop
mid
last
year,
continuing
to
integrate
our
work
into
the
online
engagement
platform
and
to
engage
pgh
and
continuing
to
work
to
clean
up
some
of
the
codes
that
we
have.
We
haven't,
you
know
gone
through
and
done.
R
R
You
know
again
their
role
kind
of
as
a
you
know,
hybrid
of
mayor's
office
and
city
planning.
You
know
that
they
are.
Their
role,
is
really
to
promote
city
events,
to
provide
certain
services,
and
you
know,
address
quality
of
life
concerns
they
do
that
through.
You
know
whether
it's
responses
to
constituent
calls
or
programs
like
the
civic
leadership
academy,
love
your
block
city
cuts
and
snow
angels
in
the
funding
for
2021.
R
Q
Q
A
Thank
you
councilman.
I
am.
I
have
a
couple
of
things
on
my
mind
with
city
planning
and
I
have
to
say
I
had
to
step
away
for
a
little
bit
of
a
break
during
mr
urbanic's
overview.
So
if
you
could
just
clarify
for
me,
I
was
disappointed
last
year
in
the
2020
budget.
A
year
ago,
when
I
tried
to
do
an
amendment
to
add
back
three
staffing
positions
to
city
planning
and
members
didn't
support.
It.
Are
you
down
more
staff
this
year
in
2021.
A
A
Yes
and
we
tried
to
fill
them
back,
and
I
apologize
for
the
harsh
light
when
the
sun,
when
it
starts
to
get
dark
outside
my
lighting
situation,
changes
here,
but
the
I'm
really
disappointed,
and
I
think
we
should
be
going
in
the
opposite
direction
and
I've
been
saying
kind
of
on
my
social
media.
I
really
think
we
should
be
putting
money
back
at
least
back
into
the
departments
that
do
the
work
to
help
make
our
community
stronger,
and
I
include
city
planning
to
be
one
of
those
departments.
Right
we
talk
about
equity.
A
We
either
need
the
force
of
law
in
zoning
for
land
use,
as
we've
seen
with
the
piloted
inclusionary
zoning
that
I
did
for
lawrenceville
or
we
need
to
really
add
resources
to
help.
You
all
implement
the
new
capacity
to
do
community
plans
that
have
the
force
of
law,
so
lots
of
neighborhoods
in
the
city,
including
the
ones
I
represent,
have
had
their
own
kind
of
self-generated
vision,
plans
or
land
use
plans
that
were
really
not
enforceable
and
when
development
happens,
which
can
happen
really
suddenly,
as
did
in
parts
of
my
district
it
doesn't
it.
A
Does
you
really?
No
good,
except
that
you're
there
to
say,
like
hey,
developer,
you're,
not
matching
our
really.
You
know
the
consensus
that
we've
built
as
neighbors
with
each
other
around
our
land
use
plan
and
the
developer
could
say
like
too
bad
because
it's
not
enforceable.
We
need
your
help.
Your
department
is
the
department
that
helps
our
neighborhoods
codify
right,
put
their
own
neighborhood
plans
into
code
so
that
they
are
law,
and
so
I
I
I
mean
how
many
you
you
had
a
few
back
slides
back.
A
R
Well,
so
the
first
round
of
neighborhood
plans
is
now
complete,
which
was
four
plans
that
covered
nine
neighborhoods,
so
that
was
the
uptown
eco
innovation,
district,
the
manchester
chateau
neighborhood
plan,
the
greater
hazelwood
neighborhood
plan
and
then
the
homewood
community
comprehensive
plan.
And
so
that
includes
the
three
neighborhoods
of
homewood
hazelwood
and
glenn
hazel
chateau
in
manchester
and
then
uptown.
R
So
we've
started
in
the
second
round
of
neighborhood
plans.
We
have
started
work
in
the
four
oakland
neighborhoods
and
in
the
other,
the
four
hill
district
neighborhoods
outside
of
uptown
that
are
part
of
the
greater
hill
district
master
plan
then
have
started
work
in
lincoln
lemington
and
east
hills
as
well
so
and
then
the
2021
budget.
You
know
there
was,
you
know,
there's
a
line
in
there
for
a
neighborhood
plan
in
marshall,
shadeland
and
brighton
heights.
A
That's
where
the
that's!
Why,
if
we
could
put
more
city
dollars
into
your
department
in
terms
of
actual
planners,
you
would
have
more
capacity
for
these
neighborhoods
and
we
could
actually
get
them
rolling,
and
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
I
can't
I
really
feel
very
strongly
that
we
are
cutting
in
the
wrong
places.
I'm
trying
to
cut
evenly.
The
mayor
testified
this
morning
that
his
goal
was
to
not
eliminate
positions,
but
I
feel
that
I'm
going
to
push
back
and
say
I
feel,
like
some
of
these
departments
are
already
too
understaffed.
A
There's
just
not
they.
We
need
bodies
to
add
bodies
back
in
order
to
implement
the
things
that
will
help
strengthen
communities
that
I
feel
that
our
residents
have
been
asking
us
to
do
it
as
part
of
the
activism
that
we
saw
around
racial
equity
this
summer
and
racial
injustice
and
how
to
correct
for
racial
justice.
A
A
Yes,
so
you
know,
I,
I
don't
see
the
reason
to
be
cutting
city
planning
by
10
or
20
percent
to
be
cutting
pli
by
10
or
20.
I
think
plays
20
when
it
really
doesn't
save
us
as
much
money
as
cutting
the
departments
that
have
the
biggest
budgets
would
cut.
So
that's
that's
my
personal
opinion
and
I
will
again
try
to
add
back
the
body
so
that
we
can
do
equity
work
which
involves
land
use.
A
In
my
estimation,
and
the
kind
of
support
that
you
provide
to
the
neighborhood
organizations
that
are
that
are
looking
to
rebuild
that,
I
feel
like
where
the
wisdom
and
knowledge
is
on
the
ground
in
the
city
neighborhoods
to
know
what
they
need
we
need
to.
We
need
to
support
them
instead
of
just
letting
them
wait
for
another
day.
So
all
I
didn't
ask
really
ask
any
questions.
Councilman,
wilson,.
A
Q
A
O
Hi,
yes,
I'm
sorry
I
had
to.
I
had
to
take
a
quick
phone
call,
so
I
saw
your
presentation,
but
I
did
miss
your
the
last
set
of
questions,
so
I
really
hope
that
the
question
the
one
question
that
I
have
is
not
the
same
one
that
was
already
covered
if
it
was
please
just
let
me
know
so.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
all
that
all
of
you
do
it's
critically
important
and
it's
helping
to
it's
helping
to
pivot
our
city.
O
O
O
If
you
have
the
answer,
that
would
be
great.
If
not,
you
know
we
can
follow
up
later,
but
to
someone
who
might
be
a
skeptic
as
to
why
that
might
be
necessary,
or
why
there's
whether
there's
any
payback
for
that,
just
in
addition
to
being
ready
for
sparse
spines
and
that
sort
of
thing
is
there
eventual
financial
payback?
In
addition
to
it
being,
you
know,
an
important
climate
friendly
initiative.
S
S
S
And
so,
if
you
go
back
to
the
the
first
candles
that
went
along
streets
way
way
back
in
the
day,
the
reason
you
have
street
lights
is
a
public
safety
investment,
and
so
when
we
think
about
providing
proper
illumination
throughout
the
city,
it's
about
providing
that
lighting
quality
across
city
neighborhoods
and
through
the
right
of
way.
So
in
doing
so
that
that
led
lighting
is
also
another
kind
of
way
in
which
we
can
improve
public
safety,
reduce
kind
of
impacts
of
incidents
and
things
of
that
nature.
O
O
You
and
that's
just
like
one
slice
of
what
you're
you're
doing
in
your
in
your
part
of
city
planning,
so
I
want
to
pivot
quickly
to
the
the
comprehensive
plan
and
when
it
comes
to,
I
guess
I
don't
think
people
have
experienced
or
sort
of
if
they
haven't
lived
in
another
city
that
has
a
comp
plan.
They
don't
really
know
the
value
of
it.
What
in
in
just
really
simple
terms,
what
will
having
a
comprehensive
plan
allow
us,
as
a
city
to
do
in
addition
to
the
neighborhood
plans
that
we're
developing?
O
R
What
the
values
are
that
we
have
as
a
city
how
we
weigh
different
things
so
how
we
weigh
how
development
improves
our
tax
base
versus
what
energy
changes?
You
know
what
changes
it
may
make
to
energy
efficiency
or
to
changes
in
the
mobile
and
mobility
system
or
open
space.
You
know
are
all
conversations
that
we
want
to
have
at
a
high
level
to
be
able
to
guide
our
work,
and
so
when
those
developments
are
coming,
you
know
to
to
the
zoning
and
development
review
team
corey.
R
You
know
the
team
that
corey
manages
that
we've
been
able
to
adjust
our
land
use
regulations
in
a
way
that
fits
that
that
that
fits,
what
the
city
wants,
how
the
city
wants
to
see
development
happen,
and
so
you
know
really
from
from
a
high
level.
You
know
that's
what
a
comprehensive
plan
does.
What
are
our
values
as
we
grow,
and
how
do
we
make
it
so
that
the
development
that
comes
in
you
know
comes
in
comes
in
in
places
of
those
values,
and
you
know
then
moving
to
neighborhood
plans.
R
Neighborhood
plans
are
much
more
detailed.
Look
at
the
cert,
you
know
at
certain
areas
of
the
neighborhood
or
certain
areas
of
the
city
and
really
getting
down
and
starting
to
look
more
at
a
parcel
by
parcel
or
a
project
by
project
basis
of
what
needs
to
go
on
to
to
get
to
that.
That
value
system
that
that
neighborhood
may
have
that
may
be
a
little
different
than
the
city
as
a
whole.
And
so
you
know
what
are
the
specific
projects
that
implement
that
you
know
the
vision
of
that
neighborhood.
R
What
are
the
specific
land
use
changes?
What
are
the
specific
properties
that
need
to
be
focused
on
you
know
when
we
were
working
through
this
project
in
uptown?
You
know
that
you
know
we
were
able
to
get
values
from
that
community
said:
affordability,
matters,
energy,
you
know
energy
production
and
you
know
an
energy
conservation
matter.
R
You
know
public
art
improvements
that
we
were
doing
to
tustin
park.
You
know
that
you
know
during
that
time
frame
that
there
was
implementation
work
that
came
out
of
that.
That
really
then
followed
that
strategy
that
blueprint
that
the
city,
or
that
the
neighborhood
really
defined
in
the
neighborhood.
O
Thank
you.
I
think
you
know
it's
always
a
helpful
reminder
for
me
and
with
people
who
are
engaging
online
with
these
these
hearings,
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
understood
that
too,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
people
are
still
still
wondering
what
that
looks
like
in
my
mind
this.
It's
almost
like
a
filter
that
we
like
an
ethical
filter
to
use
a
social
work
term
too,
that
we
that
we
use
to
decide
what
we
want
in
the
city
and
what
we
don't.
You
know
the
comp
plan
is,
you
know
we
decide.
O
O
O
We
need
to
make
sure
that
truly
the
community
that
lives
there
and
is
affected
by
that
is
the
one
weighing
in
so
to
anyone.
Here
I
mean
whether
it's
leah,
whether
it's
you
know
andrew
and
corey,
whether
it's
sarah
I
mean
what
are
your?
What
are
you
learning
during
this
time,
with
necessity
being
the
mother
of
invention
right
and
engage
pgh,
I
think
being
a
result
of
that
and
really
positive
result.
I
I
find
it
so
helpful
to
have
all
of
the
domi
projects
and
the
planning
projects
in
one
place.
O
R
That's
a
great
question:
I
don't
know
if
I
have
a
full
answer
for
you
counts
person,
but
you
know,
since
we've
instituted
the
engage
platform,
you
know
we.
We
realized
that
there
was.
You
know,
I
mean
number
one,
there's
a
necessity
for
us
as
the
city
to
continue
to
have
resident
engagement
in
our
projects.
You
know,
I
think
that
in
the
first
month
having
you
know
well,
over
4
000
people
participate.
You
know
just
in
you
know
in
month,
one
of
having
the
platform.
R
You
know
some
of
that
being
triggered
by
one
specific
project,
but
there
was
a
lot
of
interest
in
people.
Communicating
with
us
around.
You
know
the
future,
there's
not
only
the
future
of
the
city,
but
the
future
of
specific
projects,
or
you
know,
or
what
the
operating
budget
looks
like
or
you
know
or
any
host
of
things,
and
so
you
know
we're
we're
trying
to
get
better
with
our
online
our
online
engagement
and
continuing
to
evolve.
I
mean,
I
think
that
you
know
we
aren't.
R
We
realize
that
we're
not
able
to
do
everything
we
might
have
been
able
to
do
in
person
at
first
and
that
there
are
some
things
that
you
know
just
need
a
little
bit
more
of
a
guiding
hand
as
far
as
engagement,
and
so
we're
trying
to
learn
from
that
to
be
able
to
kind
of
create
the
right
bite
sizes.
For
you
know,
for
people
to
you
know
to
be
able
to
talk
about.
You
know,
issues
of
all
sorts
of
scales.
R
You
know
from
you
know,
from
a
streets
project
in
manchester
to
the
comprehensive
plan.
Looking
at
the
entire
city,
there
are
a
lot
of
different
scales
and
I
think
we're
you
know,
we're
we're
continuing
to
learn
there
and
I
think,
continuing
to
improve
there.
We've
realized
that
you
know
we've
gotta.
We
have
to
have
a
variety
of
types
of
ways
that
we
engage
people.
You
know
that
some
people
might
only
fill
out
a
short
short
questionnaire.
R
Some
people
will
dig
in
and
put
points
on
a
map,
and
some
people
you
know,
want
to
provide
us
line
by
line
feedback
on
things
and
we're
trying
to
create
opportunities
for
all
of
those
scales
to
occur
and
we're
really
working
to
try
to
try
to
work
far.
You
know
harder
and
leah
and
her
team
are,
you
know,
kind
of
crucial
to
this
as
well.
You
know
on
making
sure
that
we
have
a
variety
of
projects
that
people
are
engaging
with
and
that
they
know
that
they
can
engage
with
all
in
one
place.
R
You
know
engagement
pages
for
specific
development
review
projects,
so
you
know,
as
we
expand
the
ways
that
we
don't
require
people
to
come
to
a
public
hearing
to
to
engage
with
a
project,
and
you
know-
and
I'd
say
that
you
know
in
in
a
things
that
have
worked.
You
know
that
have
worked
well
during
a
pandemic.
O
O
O
It's
not
necessarily
the
community
group.
So
I
know
we
have
rcos
now,
but
I
guess
just
an
observation
that
that
is
sometimes
necessary,
too,
is
the
trust
building
which
is
time
consuming
but
probably
pays
off.
Then,
if
you
have
that
foundation
of
trust,
then
they
will
use
their
network
to
bring
in
their
network
when
there's
actually
a
need
for
for
their
network
to
engage
so.
O
Q
Thank
you
and
I
do
not
see
any
other
council
members,
so
I
have.
I
have
a
couple
questions
and
by
the
way
apologize
if
there
was
some
miscommunication
I
mean
I
think,
you're
in
control
to
share
a
screen
there
with
that
presentation.
But
I
was
following
along
pretty
well
there.
I
thought
you
were
doing
a
pretty
good
job.
I
didn't
realize
you
know
so.
Q
Yeah
yeah,
okay,
I
had
a
question
about.
I
think
this
one's
specifically
for
cory.
You
know
maybe
there,
maybe
it
wasn't
a
slide
that
I
see.
But
could
you
expand
on
the
the
service
legal
agreements
that
are
done,
and
I
think
was
that
the
one
you
said
that
you're
those
are
happening
faster
now
or
because
there
are
a
way
that
that
can
be
measured,
because
we
had
a
nice
slide
from
pli
that
kind
of
talked
about
the
way
they
were.
E
Sure
so,
there's
a
little
bit
of
difference
with
pli
and
zoning
in
sort
of
the
history
of
having
service
level
agreements.
The
systems
that
they
had
in
place
and
sort
of
the
style
of
reviews
were
established
years
ago,
so
there's
sort
of
a
culture
of
slas
and
they
had
the
staffing
for.
For
that
our
we
were
when
we
went
into
computronix
at
the
last
year
into
the
new
permitting
system,
the
one
stop
permitting
system.
E
That
was
really
the
first
time
that
we
had
the
that
we
were
able
to
start
generating
data
to
be
able
to
see
what
our
slas
were
and-
and
it
was
also
a
complete
shift
in
how
zoning
worked
for
a
lot
of
the
projects
where
it
had
been.
A
lot
of.
It
was
sort
of
on
demand
at
the
counter,
and
it
was
sort
of
you
go
to
zoning
first
and
then
you
go
to
pli
and
sort
of
bounce
from
counter
to
counter,
and
so
the
there
wasn't.
E
E
So
but
we
didn't
when
we
went
into
the
system,
have
any
data
really
and
so
we're
just
now
kind
of
getting
our
first
year's
worth
of
of
data
to
see
you
know
how
long
our
review
times
had
taken.
Has
there
been
progress,
so
we
were
able
to
see
that
there
there
has
been.
Certainly
it's
been
progress.
We've
had
some
staffing
changes
to.
E
I
think
it
was
oh,
maybe,
three
months
ago,
three
or
four
months
ago,
we're
able
to
staff
the
position
that
really
is
sort
of
the
team
lead
for
our
development
plan
reviewers
and
that's
without
having
had
someone
to
to
sort
of
review
the
data
review.
The
queue
manage
the
queue
make
sure
you
know
the
right
projects
were
getting
to
the
right
reviewers
and
everyone
was
kind
of
on
on
task
again.
This
was
something
that
pli
had
in
their
system
for
years.
E
But
the
initial
rounds
of
data
do
show
those
leaps,
and
I
think
we
can
probably
get
better
numbers,
there's
still
some
some
quirks
in
the
reporting
data
that
you
know
just
makes
it
sometimes
challenging
to
compare
apples
to
apples.
You
know,
but
again
that
all
comes
with
just
being
in
the
system.
You
know
making
those
changes
and
optimizing
the
system
from
when
we
started
in
computronix
to
now.
E
We
made
significant
over
the
first
six
months,
working
with
pli,
who
we
we
meet
with
regularly
and
work
with
to
to
try
to
optimize
for
our
customers
sake
and
for
our
internal
reviewers
sake.
We
made
significant
strides
in
how
the
zoning
applications
were
set
up
and
how
intake
was
done
again.
This
was
a
new
marriage
where
plis
intake
staff
are
working
to
intake
zoning
applications
as
well
as
pla
applications.
E
E
I
can
work
with
andrew
and
I
can
work
with
our
team
to
to
kind
of
compile
more
numbers
to
kind
of
show,
but
I
think
we
were
able
to
to
to
see
significantly
sort
of
that
first,
six
months
of
being
in
computronix
being
in
the
one-stop
system
to
show
significant
changes
from
our
our
review
times
overall
and
then
over
the
last.
You
know
over
basically
the
time
that
we've
gone.
You
know
working
from
home
during
the
pandemic
we've
been
able
to.
There
was
an
initial.
E
You
know,
kind
of
crisis,
point
trying
to
get
every.
You
know
trying
to
adjust
to
be
working
from
home
and
manage
all
of
that
and
and
we
were
able
to
and
that
sort
of
came
along
with
getting
the
new
person
in
that
position
that
I
mentioned
the
sort
of
team
lead
and
I
think,
since
we
got
will
in
that
position,
we've
made
significant
strides
there
too.
Q
All
right
thanks!
So,
yes,
obviously,
I'm
excited
to
see
the
in
the
proposed
budget
that
marshall,
shadeland
and
brighton
heights
has
the
the
the
the
neighborhood
plan
planning
process
that
you
know
would
take
place
around
that.
So
hopefully
that
comes
you
know
through
and
that'll.
Well,
everyone
will
be
on
board
to
keep
that
in
the
budget,
because
it's
very
much
needed
and
could
you
you
know
it's
kind
of
it
was
there
was
a.
Q
Q
The
doors
of
there
was
the
someone
who
had
a
belief,
possibly
a
mental
illness
that
you
know
have
is,
is
the
alleged
shooter
of
someone
that
killed
someone
in
a
in
a
in
an
intersection
of
brighton
road
in
davis
avenue.
I
went
to
the
doors
and
you
know
spoke
to
the
the
neighbors
because
they
were
so
concerned
about
what
was
happening,
and
I
mentioned
this-
I
said
you
know
in
the
proposed
budget.
Q
We
do
have
this
neighborhood
plan
coming
up
and
I'm
interested
to
see
how
this
would
play
any
part
in
you
know
some
sort
of
mitigating
crime
or
or
really
getting.
You
know
filling
gaps
in
in
housing
or
you
know.
How
does
this
neighborhood
plans
really
speak
to
the
larger
conversation
of?
How
do
we
improve
our
neighborhoods
and
invest
in
these
communities
so
that
you
know
we're
not
just
focusing
on
a
reactionary
police
approach,
but
an
approach
that
really
gets
to
the
heart
of?
Q
I
think
what
we're
all
want
to
see
is
people
not
spending
too
much
on
housing
that
they're
spending
30
or
less
on
housing
that
they
have
job
opportunities
that
their
kids
when
they're
you
know
when
they
get
outside
of
school
out
of
school
hours
they
have
after
school
programming
I
mean
I
can
continue
to
go
on
and
on.
But
what
is
you
know?
Q
R
L
J
R
I'll
try
to
answer
as
much
of
it
as
I
can.
You
know.
I
think
that
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
neighborhood
plans
address
and
it
does
vary
by
community,
and
so
you
know
there
was
a
lot
more
of
focus
on
on
energy
and
storm
water.
When
we
were
in
uptown,
then
there
was,
or
in
homewood,
where
we
spent
a
lot
more
time
on.
R
You
know
on
pedestrian
activity
and
public
safety,
and
there
are
things
that
neighborhood
plans
can
affect
more,
and
there
are
things
that
the
neighborhood
plan
can
affect
less
relative
to
those
priorities
and
set.
So
you
know
there
are
some
ways
I
mean
in
that
in
that
case
of
homewood,
where
they
were
more
interested
in
public
safety.
R
There
were
a
number
of
you
know,
kind
of
action,
items
that
came
out
of
that
and
goals
for
that.
That
came
out
that
were
to
be
more
community
driven,
and
you
know
in
and
in
that
that
public
safety
action
team
that
you
know
was
a
part
of
that
that
that
planning
project
you
know,
zone
five,
was
there
and
participating.
R
R
Every
neighborhood
plan
won't
be
able
to
focus
on
everything,
but
you
know
we
wanna.
We
wanna
focus
on
the
things
that
are
more
important
to
those
you
know
to
those
communities
and
if
it's
creating
zoning,
to
think
about
how
you
know
development
is
more
energy,
efficient
and
uptown,
or
whether
it's
you
know
kind
of
prioritizing
community
walks
and
pedestrian
improvements
and
homewood.
You
know
you
know
or
anywhere
between
there
on
you
know
on
that
scale.
You
know.
That's
that's
really.
R
What
the
beginning,
you
know,
parts
of
phases
of
those
projects
really
start
to
identify,
and
you
know
ultimately,
you
know
in
most
of
them.
You
know
I
mean
you
know
we
do
neighborhoods
change
and
whether
that's
because
people
are
moving
in
and
out
or
whether
that's
because
you
know
development
is
changing
or
whether
that's
because
jobs
are
coming
or
leaving.
You
know
the
you
know,
neighborhood
plans,
you
know,
are
there
to
try
to
figure
out
how
that
happens
and
try
to
have
the
community
help
help
us
help.
You
know
help.
R
Q
R
Yeah
so
I
mean
that
was,
it
was
something
that
had
come
up.
You
know
in
our
initial
public
engagements.
It
was
something
that
came
up
from
community
leaders.
You
know
it
was
something
that
you
know
that
came
in
a
way
that
was,
I
think,
you
know
just
stronger
than
we
had
heard
from.
You
know
the
other
neighborhoods
in
our
first
round.
R
In
our
first
round
of
neighborhood
planning,
I
mean
public
safety
and
and
and
resident
safety
is
a
concern
everywhere,
but
you
know,
I
think
that
it
just
it
was
much
more
of
a
focus
in
homewood
and
and
is
a
place
where
you
know.
Sometimes
you
know
I
mean
if
our
world
revolves
around
land
use,
or
you
know
you
know,
it's
focused
on
land
use
where
sometimes
there
is,
you
know,
maybe
a
little
less
role
for
us
to
play
and
that's
where
it's
important
for
us
to
hear
that
early
from
folks.
L
Q
Know
I've
been
I've
been
having
some
like
I
mentioned.
There
was
some
public
safety
concerns
and
in
these
neighborhoods
that
we're
gonna
go
after
for
the
for
the
for
the
neighborhood
plan
and
I've
involved
gvi
and
the
group
violence,
intervention
and
violence
prevention
in
the
into
the
conversation
of
alternatives.
Q
L
Q
Know
not
always
you
know
the
crosswalks
and
and
everything
obviously
all
that's
needed,
and
I
talked
about
speed
humps
earlier
today
in
a
previous
briefing
and
how
that's
really
our
number
one
call
in
a
lot
of
ways
is:
how
do
we
reduce
tr?
You
know
reduce
speeding,
but
I
am
very,
very
interested
to
see
how
we
can
you
know
expand
upon
this
neighborhood
planning,
because
I
think
that
was
a
real
opportunity
in
this
neighborhood
plan.
Q
We
have,
you
know
we're
going
to
make
an
investment
in
senior
center
in
brighton
heights,
and
you
know
there's
a
lot
there's
space
there
you
know.
Can
you
know?
I
just
think
the
outreach
workers
could
play
a
part
in
this
role.
You
know
maybe
get
them
involved
in
the
engaged
pgh
in
a
way
so
that
they
can
say
what
maybe,
what
programming
is
needed
in
the
in
those
spaces.
Q
So
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to.
I
don't
really
have
a
question
with
that.
It's
more
of
a
way
for
me
just
to
talk
more
about
what
I'm
interested
in
my
own
community
and
what
we
can
provide
them,
but
I
don't
have
any
further
questions.
I
really
appreciate
all
the
all
the
work
that
you
are
doing
and,
and
I
would
like
to
you
know,
ask
if
any
other
members
I
see
one
still
online.
Q
Okay,
yeah
I'll
make
those
so,
and
so
thanks
everyone
for
tuning
in
and
thanks
director
dash
and
corey
layman
leah
freeman
and
grant
irvin
for
your
time

I
believe
we

well.

30

relations
