Just
real
one,
one
quick
note
under
minutes
the
version
that
was
emailed
yesterday
I
realized,
didn't
it
have
a
funding
amounts
for
Wood,
Street
Commons
and
for
program
administrators
listed
in
the
recommendations.
The
revised
version
you
have
at
your
spot
does
have
that
and
that'll
be
the
final
version
going
into
the
minutes.
All
those
in
favor
aye.
F
A
Opposed
motion
carries
okay,
so
Sonja,
stain
and
and
for
the
record
Jerome
Jackson
is
present
as
well.
Okay.
So
today
we
have
a
pretty
long
agenda
with
some
recommendation
items
at
the
beginning
and
then
some
update
items
and
just
talking
about
moving
forward
in
the
future
towards
the
end
of
it.
So
we
will
start
with
the
recommendation
to
approve
contracts
and
agreements
with
the
following
not-for-profit
program
administrators
to
help
the
minister
to
housing
stabilization
program,
so
I'll
give
it
a
little
bit
of
context
on
this
and
then
we'll
talk
about
the
program
administrators.
A
But
this
is
the
program
to
provide
emergency
rental
assistance.
The
RFP
was
issued
in
January.
It
was
due
on
February
19th.
We
received
six
responses.
There
are
five
here
today
the
total
responses,
totaled
a
million
five
hundred,
and
we
have
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
in
the
line
item.
So
we
received
twice
as
many
responses
as
was
able
to
allocate.
A
So,
given
that
we
took
the
other
five
and
worked
with
them
over
this
past
week,
staff
called
had
a
meeting
with
them
and-
and
you
know,
asks
a
lot
of
questions
and
came
with
these.
Revised
amounts
for
funding
so
going
through
through
the
Macedonia
faith
is
located
in
the
Hill
District
they
had
requested
two
hundred
and
seventy-five
thousand,
the
recommendation
is
a
hundred
and
five
thousand.
A
They
run
a
couple
of
programs
with
the
Department
of
Human
Services
for
through
the
Children
Youth
and
Family
program,
but
they
have
not
administered
any
of
DHS
DHS's
direct
homeless
prevention
programs,
but
the
program
they
do.
A
minister
for
Children,
Youth
and
Family
Services
is
a
program
where
they
work
with
households
prior
to
them
entering
a
crisis
stage,
and
they
saw
a
lot
of
synergy
between
housing,
stability
and
and
the
families
they
they
work
with.
A
They
work
primarily
in
the
Hill
District,
but
they're,
but
they
do
have
outreach
throughout
the
whole
city
and
do
not
turn
clients
down
if
they're,
not
in
the
Hill
District
mercy.
Life
center
corporation
is
called
Pittsburgh
mercy.
Their
legal
name
is
mercy,
Life
Center
Corporation,
and
they
are
a
citywide
organization
that
has
several
facilities
that
they
operate
and
homeless
shelters,
but
also
operate
emergency
programs
through
the
Department
of
Human
Services.
A
They
requested
four
hundred
thousand
and
the
suggestion
to
the
advisory
board
as
a
reduction
down
to
two
hundred
thousand
neighbourhood.
Legal
services
responded
to
the
portion
of
the
RFP
that
is
specific
to
eviction
legal
services
and
working
with
tenants
once
they
actually
do
received
eviction
notice
that
the
plan
is
really
for
the
other
four
administrators
to
work
with
tenants
prior
to
that.
A
A
And
and
the
suggestion
to
the
Advisory
Board
is
two
hundred
thousand
and
finally
the
young
women's
Christian
Association
YWCA
of
Pittsburgh
also
applied.
They
have
also
worked
with
DHS
on
several
housing
programs
over
the
years
as
well.
Their
request
was
250,
with
a
reduction
down
to
105,
so
I
don't
know
if
we
should
open
up
the
questions.
I,
some
of
the
providers
are
in
the
room.
I
know
neighborhood
legal
services
is
in
the
back
of
the
room
or
any
of
the
other
providers.
Can
you
stand
up
and
state
your
name
and
organizations.
G
A
general
question
Jessica
in
the
amounts
that
they
requested.
What
were
those
figures
based
off
of
is
it
demonstrated
need?
Is
it
projected
mean
and
great
as
a
follow-up
to
that,
or
is
there
clarity
sort
of
one
any
overlap
that
may
sort
of
happen
in
coming
up
with
those
numbers
right.
A
A
$400,000
service
model
of
delivery,
so
one
agency
might
average
just
1500
per
household,
but
another
agency
who
intends
to
do
a
little
more.
You
know
intensive
outreach.
You
know,
might
average
a
little
bit
more
than
that,
and
so
that's
why
we
met
with
all
the
providers
in
the
room
on
Tuesday
and
started
to
talk
through
this
and
they're.
Giving
us
some
revised
statements
as
to
with
these.
These
recommended
amounts.
How
many
households
do
they
plan
on
helping
of
what
income
tiers?
A
And
so
we
can
start
to
compare
apples
to
apples
a
little
bit
more,
for
example,
the
Urban
League.
They
really
requested
that
most
of
their
funds
come
out
of
the
pot
for
50
percent
AMI
30
to
50
percent,
because
that
tends
to
be
their
clients
more,
so
that
need
a
little
bit
of
help
with
with
monthly
rent.
A
But
you
know
our
sim
bistable
or
just
have
a
you
know
more
emergency
crisis
where
some
of
the
others
who
are
working
with
clients
more
at
the
lower
income
tier
have
stated
that
they
would
put
the
you
know
most
of
the
funding
and
the
lower
income
tier.
So
those
details
are
going
to
need
to
be
worked
out
prior
to
entering
into
contracts.
H
A
No
so
with
with
the
other
programs,
they
all
need
to
go
through
the
ura,
but
with
this
program
what
we've
talked
about
is
there
could
be
several
front
doors
to
this
program.
We
want
to
make
sure,
as
many
people
can
get
there
as
possible,
so
we
have
met
at
length
with
United
Way.
They
have
been
a
tremendous
partner
through
this,
several
of
the
staff
went
to
tour
the
two
one
one
call
center
and
they
are
gonna
list,
the
providers
that
are
through
this
program
into
two
one,
one
call
center.
A
Additionally,
we
have
worked
with
the
Department
of
Human
Services
and
they
are
talking
with
the
Allegheny
County
link
to
figure
out
if
the
operators
there
can
also
refer
people
to
this
program
with
Allegheny
County
link,
it's
more
based
on
you
know,
we're
gonna
be
homeless
like
really
soon,
and
so,
if
people
call
and
just
say,
I
can't
pay
my
rent
this
month,
but
I
haven't
received
an
eviction
notice,
yet
that
they
would
then
refer
folks
to
this
program.
Do
you
are
a?
We
also,
of
course,
will
be
a
front
door.
A
I
A
H
K
K
Think
something
that
we
need
to
talk
about
across
all
of
the
programs
that
are
launched,
but
I
think
we
also
need
to
be
cognizant
of
how
much
of
a
resource
is
available
when
we're
talking
about
the
outreach
strategies,
because
the
system
was
really
overwhelmed
when
it
was
such
a
public
launch
with
a
new
program,
and
there
was
definitely
not
funds
to
just
serve
those
numbers.
I
think
the
original
target
for
that
program
for
the
year
was
eight
hundred
and
fifteen
hundred
people
within
eleven
days
or
on
deck.
So
so
we
know
that
there's
a
need.
K
We
know
that
there's
a
need,
that's
so
well
beyond
any
resources
that
we
put
on
this
street.
So
I
think
we
want
as
many
people
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
as
possible,
but
also
don't
want
to
create
a
scenario
where
the
system
is
completely
overwhelmed
and
then
people
can't
be
served
in
a
good
way.
Arian.
M
I
K
K
If
you
took
that
in
half,
that's
still
a
lot
of
folks,
so
I
mean
it's
just
a
balance
with
all
of
these
programs.
We
want
the
widest
group
of
people
to
be
able
to
take
advantage,
but
we
also
have
to
be
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
the
resources
are
limited
and
not
to
do
a
kind
of
outreach
that
that
doesn't
help
the
people
who
really
need
the
service
I.
D
G
D
H
C
I
need
to
think
from
Macedonia
state,
specifically
just
because
of
the
filiation,
but
I
think
the
work
they
do
is
great,
but
everyone
else
you
know
I'm
voting
in
favor
of
okay.
N
N
So
I
can
see
that
we're
gonna
need
their
help
with
some
tangled
titled
issues
when
we're
doing
homeowner
repair
loans,
that
we
want
to
be
sure
that
there's
a
will
or
something
in
there
that
doesn't
lead
to
a
tangle
title
with
property
that
we've
touched,
and
you
know
I
think
it
may
be.
That's
not
this
year's
discussion,
but
certainly
next
year
or
maybe
for
part
of
this
year.
We
need
to
be
talking
about.
D
A
F
A
There
was
a
couple
paragraphs
in
the
RFP
related
to
tangled
title
assistance,
so
assistance
for
folks
that
applied
to
the
program
that
get
turned
down
because
their
name
is
not
on
the
deed
to
to
fix
up
their
home.
Once
again,
this
is
to
owner-occupied
first,
if
their
name
is
not
on
the
deed.
What,
ideally
we
would
like
to
have
happen
is
to
have
someplace
to
refer
them
to
to
take
the
property
through
probate,
get
their
name
on
the
deed,
so
that
they
could
then
apply
to
the
program.
A
So
when
we
issued
the
RFP
last
month,
we
took
the
six
construction
responses
to
the
RFP
and
had
not
received
a
legal
response,
but
reissued.
The
RFP
is
rolling
and
received
a
legal
response
a
few
weeks
ago
from
neighborhood
legal
services
to
provide
the
assistance
with
helping
folks
go
through
probate
and
working
with
the
tangle
titles.
So
the
action
in
front
of
you
today
and
just
up
on
the
screen
you
can
see
the
awards
real,
quick
that
were
made
last
month
and
in
yellow,
is
the
neighborhood
legal
services
award.
A
2.3
I
think
or
two
point
two:
seven:
five,
but
with
whiff
neighbourhood
legal
services
we
will
have
a
million
730
of
the
issued.
The
RFP
was
actually
issued,
stating
we
would
give
contracts
up
to
I.
Think
one
point:
eight
seven,
five
just
to
leave
some
funds
available
for
emergency
stat.
The
URA
could
transact
with
quickly
emergency
housing
situations
I'm.
So
we're
gonna
start
with
these
contracts,
but
I
just
want
to
let
the
board
know
that
moving
forward.
A
You
know
there
would
be
room
for
new
partners
to
come
on
board
or
to
extend
people's
contracts
across
the
board
with
the
2018
line
item.
But
the
request
today
is
for
the
one
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
to
go
to
neighborhood
legal
services
to
to
help
families
go
through
probate,
I
mean.
Can
we
ever
have
representative
from
neighborhood
legal
services?
Maybe
speak
very
briefly
as
to
what
that
would
look
like
and
what
the
average
cost
is
per
household
to
go
through
probate.
O
For
example,
inheritance
tax
would
have
to
be
paid
by
the
client,
but
some
of
the
filing
fees-
and
you
know
like
and
as
for
an
average
cost,
it's
it's
difficult
to
say,
because
there
can
be
more
complexities
with
some
cases
than
with
others.
Depending
on
how
many
possible
legal
errors
there
would
be.
You
know,
maybe
more
people
to
contact
more
individuals
due
to
meet
with
more
time
spent.
O
You
know
by
our
staff
on
those
matters,
but
the
procedures
are
somewhat
similar,
okay
and
that
we
have
to
first
identify
you
know
the
relationship
between
our
client
and
the
property.
Okay,
we
have
to
establish
that
and
we
have
to
identify
all
possible
errors
that
could
be
also
could
also
have
a
legal
claim
that
are
not
our
clients.
Okay,
we
have
publishing
expenses
into
you,
know
different
publications,
legal
journal
and
a
general
publication,
the
courier
for
example-
and
that
has
to
be
three
weeks
running
once
each
week
in
both
and
then
there's
a
posting
notice.
O
It
goes
on
the
property.
We
have
to
identify
any
liens
that
are
on
the
prop.
We
have
to
you
know
the
so
there's
there's
somewhat
of
an
investigation
that
goes
on
and
and
then
the
court
proceedings
are
involved
with.
You
know
a
petition
before
the
court
opportunity
for
people
to
be
heard
and
ultimately
getting
to
the
point
where
we
have
established.
O
Our
client
has
a
legal
claim
to
the
exception
of
anyone
else,
and
only
then
can
we
put
their
name
on
a
deed,
and
you
mentioned
the
benefit
of
that
as
far
as
availability
to
funds,
but
it's
also
important
to
realize
in
doing
establishing
that
legal
ownership
through
their
name
on
the
deed.
It
also
helps
to
maintain
family
stability,
because
now
the
the
house
is
in
the
family
and
it
can
be
passed
down
to
another
family
member,
for
example,
or
sold
for
the
benefit
of
the
family.
P
H
P
In
that
kind
of
case,
we
would
expect
around
1200
and
associated
fees
that
covers
the
recording
fee
to
record
the
order
once
we
have
it
the
cost
of
requesting
a
certified
copy
of
the
order
through
our
orphans
court
clerks.
It
covers
the
advertisement
fee
and
both
a
general
circulation
and
legal
journal
in
Allegheny
County.
P
We
used
the
courier
and
the
Allegheny
County
Bar
Association
legal
journal,
and
then
we
also
apply
for
title
insurance
at
the
conclusion
of
the
process
that
they
will
have
a
marketable
title
and
be
able
to
transfer
that
title
and
that
fee
range
is
based
on
the
size
of
the
estate
and
the
property
value.
But
I've
seen
it
go
anywhere
from
five
hundred
to
eight
hundred
dollars.
P
We
also
covered
that
out
of
the
fund
so
that
in
those
cases
where
the
client
decides
it's
in
their
best
interest
to
pursue,
perhaps
a
cash
for
keys
option
to
transfer
the
property
down
the
line
to
sell
the
property
down
the
line
they
can
do
that
without
having
petah
out-of-pocket
later.
On
so
ideal
case,
ideal
scenario:
we
estimate
roughly
$1,200
per
case
and
that's
not
counting
attorney
our
time
or
staffing
time.
O
Which
we
of
course,
do
not
charge
the
clients
for
okay
and,
if
I,
mind
it's
it's
rare
that
there's
a
clean
case.
It's
just
a
tangle
title
matter.
Often
it
even
come
to
their
attention
that
there
is
this
issue
because
they're
facing
a
foreclosure
matter
or
a
bankruptcy,
or
something
else
actually
brings
this
matter
to
the
to
their
attention.
So
we
have
to
address
those
issues
as
well.
I
have.
L
A
question
really
off
the
wall,
but
I'm
gonna
ask
it
anyway
for
the
very
profitable
title
companies
that
we
have,
and
we
know
the
big
ones
that
are
used
and
I'm
sure
you
interact
with
them.
Yes,
there
they
have.
There.
Has
there
ever
been
a
consideration,
or
is
there
a
charitable
arm,
a
charitable
facet
to
acquiring
title
insurance,
which
is
basically
going
through
the
liens
and
giving
them
clear
so.
P
Currently,
we
have
a
deal
with
first
american
title.
We
have
pursued
different
pro
bono
options
for
title
and
based
on
the
fact
that
it
is
a
very
profitable
large
corporation
or
deal.
We
haven't
had
success
having
it
completely
pro
bono,
however,
through
first
american,
we
are
able
to
secure
a
free
title
search
at
the
onset
of
our
case,
so
that
we
are
aware
of
any
liens.
As
long
as
we
are
committed
to
purchasing
the
policy
for
our
client
at
the
conclusion
of
the
case,
any.
P
Q
Question
the
title
insurance
is
that
separate
from
the
1200,
or
is
that
included
in
the
cost
of
1200?
It's
included,
okay
and
then
also.
My
other
question
is
once
you
you
help
your
clients
with
the
tangle
title
is
and
I
don't
know
if
you
can
be
mandatory
or
not,
but
how
are
you
working
with
them
to
make
sure
that
they
now
have
a
will
themselves,
so
this
property
does
not
fall
back
into
another
tangle
title
situation.
Q
O
Is
one
of
our
final
efforts
with
them
is
to
establish
one?
We
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
in
compliance
at
that
point
only
put
the
deed
in
their
name,
meaning
we
arrange
for
the
inheritance
tax
to
be.
You
know
addressed,
and
then
we
talk
about
a
will,
and
you
know
any
kind
of
succession
kind
of
plan
that
you
know
might
be
relevant
to
that
particular
individual.
P
In
certain
cases
that
will
also
include
making
their
air
a
joint
owner
so
that
it
can
pass
more
easily
without
having
to
do
another
probate
in
six
seven
years.
Allegheny
County
also
has
several
free
wills
clinics
through
the
pro
bono
partnership.
So
we
have
that
availability
to
help
them
with
wills,
referrals
to
make
sure
that
that
is
drafted
actually.
O
O
There
it
could
be
in
a
court
situation,
but
I'm
relatively
new
I'm,
told
that
a
lot
of
this
is
established
prior
to
actually
making
a
petition
in
the
court.
Okay,
but
it's
part
of
the
process.
You
know
for
that's
relevant
to
the
notification
process.
People
sometimes
can't
families
sometimes
can't
come
to
terms
with
how
they
want
to
handle
it,
but
it,
but
again,
every
step
in
that
process
gets
a
little
bit
closer
to
clarifying
the
matter.
O
P
L
P
We
ended
up
getting
75%
for
our
client
and
left
his
25
percent
in
his
name,
so
we
are
able
to
work
with
that
and
be
creative
where,
where
issues
come
about
for
the
most
part,
we've
most
cases,
we
are
able
to
get
sole
ownership
for
our
client.
When
we
are
not,
we
certainly
work
with
them
and
make
sure
that
the
title
reflects
their
ownership
as
much
as
we
are
able
to
get
for
them
and.
O
H
P
O
P
H
C
Yes,
so
regarding
a
single
title,
so
if
there
is
a
family
member
that
you
know
is
dis
now
the
feet
and
there's
a
only
one
here
left,
you
know
that
to
claim
the
property
oftentimes
there
is
an
estate
tax
that
is
assessed
in
order
for
that
title,
to
be
clear
and
for
that
property
to
be
transferred
to
that
ear
or
these
funds
to
be
used,
you
know
one
to
help
them
do
the
legal
process,
but
also
to
pay.
If
that's
you
know
a
part
of
that
situation,.
N
O
O
P
We
do
not
pay
that
out
of
the
funds,
though,
in
the
cases
where
that
would
come
up
inheritance,
tax
and
estate
taxes
are
the
only
cost.
Currently
that
we
ask
our
clients
to
cover
a
state.
Tax
typically
does
not
come
up
in
our
cases,
because
we
don't
necessarily
go
through
the
probate
process.
We
go
through
orphans
court
through
a
petition
known
as
a
thirty
five.
Forty
six
petition,
it's
under
title
20
of
the
Pennsylvania
Code
statute,
thirty
five,
forty
six
and
that
bypasses
the
estate
tax.
P
Whenever
you're,
looking
at
transfer
tax
for
recording
the
property,
lineal
heirs,
don't
pay
the
transfer
tax,
so
most
of
our
clients
will
not
be
subject
to
that
unless
their
relationship,
dick
takes
up,
dictates.
Pardon
me
otherwise,
but
as
I
said
before,
if
something
like
that
were
to
come
up,
inheritance,
tax
and
estate
tax
are
not
covered
by
the
program.
C
But
it
sounds
like
it.
If
that
situation
arises,
you
can
say
closing
costs,
but
not
the
estate
tax
and
then
it's
best.
If
I
heard
you
correctly.
Does
that
just
mean
you
can't
help
those
funds,
because
that
you
know,
in
my
experience,
that's
most
of
the
situations
when
were
discussed
in
single
title
issues
of
foresters,
a
lot
of
others,
but
these
situations
that
I
was
encounter.
Oftentimes
include
that's
a
choice
because.
P
Of
the
method
that
we
use
going
through
orphans
court
it
just
it,
the
estate
tax
is
not
applicable,
so
the
estate
tax
specifically
applies
whenever
you
are
dealing
with
probate
on
the
register
of
will
side
most
of
our
cases,
we
don't
go
that
route.
We
use
like
I,
said
the
petition
through
orphan
support,
which
bypasses
the
estate
tax
altogether.
It
just
isn't
subject
to
it,
so
the
only
taxes
that
our
clients
to
date
have
had
to
pay
out
of
pocket
have
been
the
inheritance
tax.
P
The
highest
inheritance
tax
that
we
have
seen
was
I
believe
eight
hundred
dollars
and
we
asserted
a
14-month
payment
plan
that
they're
able
to
pay
monthly
based
on
their
income
limits.
So
for
future
cases,
if
we
are
doing
the
probate
and
estate
tax
where'd,
it
come
up
based
on
our
current
model.
We
would
not
pay
it.
P
Q
Jessica
quick
question:
can
these
funds
be
used
for
that
I
know
the
program
we
do
organization
because
of
the
funds,
our
tax
credit
funds.
We
cannot
use
those
funds
to
pay
inheritance
taxes
and
those
other
types
of
taxes.
So
would
these
the
funds
that
they
would
get
could
they
actually
pay
a
hair
inheritance
taxes
with
those
funds.
L
Q
O
Never
actually
been
a
matter
that
discourages
anyone
from
going
through
the
process.
Okay,
because
when
you
get
to
that
point,
you've
succeeded
in
getting
your
name
on
the
deed,
okay,
and
that
gives
you
and
again,
as
Gabrielle
mentioned,
the
the
inheritance
tax
itself
is
often
brought
down
because
of
certain
debts
on
the
house.
You
know
like
unpaid
property
taxes
or
school
taxes.
Excuse
me
something
like
that.
They're
considered
like
a
deduction
on
that
amount
and
then
there's
often
a
payment
plan
on
top
of
that,
so
it
doesn't
seem
to
be
the
bar.
That's
your
experience.
P
And
we
make
an
effort
to
make
sure
that
whatever
we
are
doing
for
our
client,
we
are
doing
it
to
put
them
in
a
better
situation
and
where
we
found
them.
So
we
are
very
conscientious
about
counseling
clients
at
the
onset
of
the
case
to
make
sure
they
are
aware
that
this
could
be
the
amount
of
inheritance
tax
you
would
pay.
Currently,
there
are
these
back
taxes
that
you
will
be
responsible
for.
P
You
will
be
responsible
for
homeowners
insurance
things
like
that
to
make
sure
they
really
understand
the
financial
burden
of
homeownership
and
we
go
into
it
and
that's
why
we
do
the
title
search
from
the
onset
to
understand
any
liens,
any
costs
associated
really
making
sure
and
analyzing
their
income
and
their
limitations
that
they
will
be
able
to
financially
support
themselves.
If
we
put
this
house
in
their
name,
our
goal
is
never
to
get
a
house
in
some
of
these
name
and
have
it
be
a
crushing
burden
on
top
of
their
shoulders?
O
It's
because
it
hasn't
been
said,
I,
don't
think
directly
when
you
get
the
deed
in
your
name.
You
also
assume
all
of
the
responsibilities
that
come
with
that
property,
and
so
as
part
of
our
full-service
neighbor
legal
services.
We
have
social
workers
on
on-site
and
we
on
staff
actually,
and
so
we
actually
put
them
in
touch
sometimes
with
our
clients,
as
far
as
getting
services
related
services
that
will
help
them
with
this
overall
project.
H
N
Regarding
the
sort
of
prevention
of
tangled
tidal
with
folks
that
we're
working
with
and
we
might
be,
recording,
deferred
mortgages
or
you
know
we're
giving
grants
or
the
different
things
that
we
are
doing,
are
we
encouraging
folks
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
will
that
there's
a
legal
document?
That's
saying
you
know
how
what
heirs
get
the
property.
So
we
don't
work
on
properties
and
then
have
this
problem
five
or
ten
years
down
the
road.
N
P
R
Firms
and
corporate
legal
departments
and
neighborhood
legal
services
sits
on
the
administrative
ward,
so
the
projects
that
they
develop
are
ones
which
we
have
determined.
There
is
a
need
for
to
share
our
work
or
because
it's
work
we
can't
do
so.
The
partnership
has
now
developed
a
wills
clinic,
it's
actually
for
Wills
power
of
attorney
health
directives.
They
currently
have
seven
sites
throughout
the
city
administered
by
different
one
is
by
BNY
Mellon,
one
is
by
FedEx
so
on
and
so
forth.
R
One
is
by
the
Department
of
Environmental
Protection,
and
so,
if
we
have
someone
in
this
project
who
needs
a
will-
and
that's
our
concern
also,
we
don't
want
this
tangled
title
mess
going
on
generation
after
generation,
so
we
then
encourage
them
and
give
them
the
list
of
the
Wills
projects.
Those
wills
are
prepared
at
no
cost
to
the
individual.
E
N
A
A
C
C
A
G
C
I
gotta
run
so
I
understand
that
there'll
be
more
discussion
about
this
and
maybe
more
things
added
to
the
role
but
based
on
you
know
what
I
do
know
I
like
to
recommend
Joanne
and
Deming
to
be
the
new
chair
going
forward.
Think
she
would
be
great
represent
the
community
and
you
know,
has
been
a
great
part
of
this
committee
thus
far
so
I
strongly
recommend
her
for
this
role
and
with
that
being
said,
I'm
gonna
have
to
dine
out
okay.
C
A
So,
while
we're
on
J
yes,
so
so
there
was
a
motion
made
last
month
to
have
a
chair,
and
that
was
also.
It
was
also
listed
in
to
HR
in
a
report
to
the
advisory
board
that
that
was
their
suggestion
was
to
have
the
chair
from
the
advisory
board
itself,
to
work
with
staff
and
to
to
work
with
all
of
us
and
to
talk
to
me
prior
to
two
meetings
and
make
sure
you
know
everyone's
sort
of
an
agreement
with
the
agenda
items
and
so
forth.
So
I
think
it's
a
really
great
idea.
A
S
Want
I
think
taking
a
month
is
a
great
idea
because,
as
you
know,
I
have
a
lot
of
concerns.
I,
don't
think.
There's
anybody
really!
Maybe
you
really
ain't
truly
independent
on
this
board.
I
mean
everyone
here
works
for
an
organization
or
a
non-profit,
everyone
here
either
works
for
the
city
or
is
an
elected
official,
and
so,
if
you're
talking
about
the
community
controlling
this,
that's
not
happening
because
it's
somebody
with
an
interest
still
so
I
think.
A
And
so
so,
we'll
be
working
with
administration
over
the
next
month
to
figure
out
how
that
is
handled
for
those
four
people
that
have
terms
everybody.
Has
the
list
I
think
and
knows
expirations
of
that?
There's
there's
also
a
person
right
now
that
that
is
on
leave
from
their
position
and
so
has
not
been
an
active
member
as
well.
A
So
that's
that,
but
but
oh
so,
just
in
general,
since
we've
been
operating
now
for
a
while.
This
is
a
great
turnout.
Today
we
didn't
have
any
problem.
Getting
a
quorum
and
I
really
appreciate
that
there
have
been
some
months
where
we've
had
some
difficulty
getting
a
quorum.
So
couple
folks
have
mentioned
to
me:
should
we
put
some
rules
in
place
as
to
you
know,
if
you
missed
two
or
three
meetings
in
a
row.
R
A
E
A
S
S
Would
just
say:
I
don't
need
to
be
on
the
committee
but
I'm
going
to
look
forward
and
make
sure
I
make
a
big
deal
about
it.
Being
somebody
truly
independent,
otherwise,
I
think
it
should
be
somebody
who
we
can
hold
accountable.
Who
does
work
for
the
government,
so
it's
one
or
the
other,
it's
a
truly
independent
or
something
we
can
hold
accountable.
A
T
All
right
so,
as
per
the
Housing
Opportunity
Fund
legislation,
Hof
must
provide
an
opportunity
for
public
feedback
and
comment
prior
to
the
approval
of
the
annual
allocation
plan.
So
hof
hosted
a
series
of
five
community
meetings
throughout
this
city,
and
so
this
slide
provides
some
examples
of
how
hof
has
been
marketing
the
meetings
and
the
programs.
Some
of
the
various
channels
include
social
media.
The
URA
now
has
a
Facebook
page,
we've
been
promoting
it
through
the
mayors
of
Facebook
page
as
well.
T
We've
done
our
ads
and
articles
through
the
newspaper,
TV
and
radio,
as
well
as
attending
community
meetings,
doing
on
the
ground
canvassing
as
well
and
through
next-door
city
council,
and
also
just
promoting
it
throughout
the
mayor's
office.
So,
as
you
see,
we
do
have
a
variety
of
ways
that
we
are
reaching
out
to
the
community
and
we
will
continue
to
promote
hof
and
the
programs
using
these
channels
moving
forward.
However,
the
best
way
to
ensure
that
our
programs
are
reaching
those
who
really
need
it
is
to
share
Hof
information
within
your
own
networks.
T
Many
of
the
articles
and
ads
that
are
referenced
up
here
and
promote
hof
was
a
result
of
individuals
sharing
the
information
and
then
those
individuals
passing
on
the
information
to
others.
So
some
of
these
articles,
for
example,
the
first
one
on
the
top
left,
is
an
ad
that
we
created
the
URA
to
be
in
the
North
Side
Chronicle,
but
some
of
the
other
organizations
like
pump
and
grounded
just
heard
about
the
meetings
through
other
sources
and
posted
it
through
their
own
networks
as
well.
T
So
this
is
just
a
really
great
way
to
promote
and
it's
free
its
effective,
and
this
is
really
just
the
best
way
to
ensure
that
we're
reaching
the
population
that
needs
our
programs.
The
most
I've
received
countless
inquiries
from
individuals
who
heard
about
our
program
through
friends
and
family
members,
other
community
groups
or
co-workers,
and
so
I
truly
believe
that
each
of
us
have
access
to
different
groups
within
Pittsburgh,
but
not
one
single
person
has
access
to
all.
So
I
really
want
to
emphasize
the
need
to
share
the
information
with
those
in
your
community.
T
You
never
know
if
someone
can
benefit
from
it
or
not,
or
if
that
someone
knows
someone
else
who
can
benefit
from
our
programs,
so
just
really
pushing
out
the
word
I'm
more
than
happy
to
provide
that
marketing
material
for
you,
I
can
give
you
my
business
card
any
fliers
or
even
if
you
simply
just
direct
them
to
the
URA
website,
we
are
on
there
as
well.
All
the
applications
and
program
information
is
on
there.
R
T
But
in
the
coming
weeks
we
will
be
opening
up
the
homeowner,
Assistance
Program
and
the
housing
stabilization
program,
and
so
we
really
want
to
make
sure
those
who
need
our
programs
are
receiving
the
information.
So
we
really
need
to
start
sharing
that
again
we
will
be
using
these
channels,
but
it
is
really
beneficial
for
everyone
to
just
share
the
information.
A
A
Great
and
and
then
on,
the
homeowner
Assistance
Program
thanks
Sharon
and
the
homeowner
Assistance
Program.
We
now
that
we
have
approval
to
intern
contracts
with
the
provider,
so
you
gave
us
last
month
our
legal
staff
is
working
on
getting
those
contracts
in
place.
We
had
a
follow-up
meeting
with
them,
so
we
should
have
contracts
in
place
with
them
in
the
next
two
weeks
and
an
application.
Our
legal
departments
also
reviewing
an
application
right
now.
A
S
Just
a
few
comments:
I,
the
community
meetings,
I've
really
felt
like
and
I
only
attended,
want
the
one
in
the
West
End.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
having
those
I
know
and
for
those
who
did
attend,
but
I
was
a
little
disappointed
in
just
the
format
of
it,
because
I
really
didn't
feel
like
we
heard
from
the
community
and
whenever
you
have
something
we
have
to
press
a
button.
I
did
this
once
with
another
organization.
S
So
for
me,
I
want
real,
open
dialogue,
that's
one
and
but
I
do
know
the
work
that
went
into
this
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
went
into
them
too.
I
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
do
with
the
the
home
repairs
is
somehow
I
think
we
need
to
work
with
the
magistrate's
office.
There's
a
lot
of
people
that
go
to
housing
court
time
and
time
again,
who
just
don't
have
the
money
to
repair
homes
and
I.
A
I
actually
do
have
an
ask
for
that,
because
there
are
a
couple:
judges
and
the
court
system
right
now,
looking
at
this
and
I'm
on
a
committee
of
like
20
people
that
that
convened
with
judge
Christine
Ward
on
this
issue
and
then
I'm
also
speaking
in
two
weeks
with
judge
Mik,
somebody
help
me
Pappas.
Thank
you
for
an
outreach
event
he's
doing,
but
we
are
working
with
the
court
system.
I'm
learning,
I'm
learning
about
the
court
system
right
now,
so.
S
F
S
A
D
U
D
S
S
T
No,
we
understand
that
concern
and,
like
Jessica
said
after
every
public
meeting,
that
we
hosted
we
staffed
at
a
deeper
meeting
to
discuss.
You
know
ways
that
we
can
constantly
improve
these
meetings.
We
took
into
account
the
advisory
board
members
who
attended
the
meetings
and
their
feedback
as
well,
and
we
did
realize
that
obviously
the
most
important
session
and
the
most
important
part
of
our
meeting
was
the
one-on-one
conversations
that
residents
had
with
advisory
board
members,
so
many
of
them
stayed
longer
just
to
speak
with
advisory
board
members.
T
So
we
shifted
the
schedule
on
the
timing
of
the
meeting
to
really
focus
on
that
towards
the
end
and
so
moving
forward.
That
is
definitely
something
that
we
will
consider
when
we
structure
these
public
meetings
and
again,
you
know
I
know
your
preference
is
to
have
these
open
style
communications.
So
everyone
can
hear
the
concern.
T
Yeah
so
I
mean
we
can
of
course
look
into
ways
that
we
can
incorporate
more
public
comment,
while
also
getting
the
data
that
we
need
from
this
survey
towards
the
end
towards
our
last
meeting.
It
ended
up
the
survey
being
a
very
small
portion
of
the
meeting
and
then
the
rest
of
the
time
was
through
one
of
our
interactive
activities
or
just
spending
time
with
the
advisory
board.
Members
and.
S
H
A
You
know
what
I
would
love
for
that
to
be
something
that
the
Governance
Committee,
that
we
talked
about
talks
about,
because
I
understand
the
need
for,
but
we're
also
very
fiscally
responsible
as
well.
So
I
think
if
the
advisory
board
could
help
us
come
up
with
some
guidelines
as
to
what
is
appropriate
for
food
and
those
types
of
expenditures
out
of
the
fund.
I
would
appreciate
that.
A
K
There
are
community
activities
going
on
all
year
in
all
of
these
neighborhoods
spaghetti,
dinners
and
community
days,
and
it
feels
like
it
would
make
a
lot
more
sense
and
be
more
impactful
to
actually
build
relationships
and
do
outreach
and
have
time
for
dialog
in
places
where
people
are
coming
and
support.
Those
events
and.
K
Then
we
can
also
go.
We
can
support
that
neighborhood.
If
there
fees
involved,
we
can
bring
those
into
the
neighborhood
and
support
what
they're
doing
it
just
seems
like
there's
so
many
great
things
that
are
happening
and
instead
of
creating
a
parallel
process,
how
can
we
organically
respectfully
go
into
the
process
that
already
happens.
D
A
T
Just
to
echo
my
previous
comment:
you'll
again,
the
most
popular
part
of
our
meetings
was
when
they
were
able
to
talk
with
advisory
board
members,
so
I
think
providing
extra
opportunity
for
residents
to
speak
directly
with
advisory
board
members
outside
of
our
publicly
hosted
meetings
would
be
really
great
to
consider
as
well.
Yes,.
A
S
T
Alright,
we
can
move
forward
now,
so
every
HOF
staff
member
participates
in
some
form
of
community
outreach.
These
are
just
some
examples
of
the
groups
that
we've
met
with
or
will
meet
with
in
the
coming
weeks.
Again,
if
you
know
of
any
community
groups
that
will
benefit
from
HOF
programs,
please
let
me
know,
and
I
can
reach
out
to
them
to
schedule
some
kind
of
meeting
either
to
be
put
on
their
agenda
to
talk
about
a
program
whether
it's
a
five
minute
blurb
about
HOF
or
if
they
want
me
to
do
a
full-blown
presentation.
E
A
E
S
A
I'll
mention
too
that
Bettina
and
I
meet
with
Council
on
a
pretty
regular
basis.
What
we'll
meet
with
you
know
every
week,
maybe
two
two
different
council
people
and
keep
rotating
through,
and
so
whenever
you
know
they
have
meetings
and
so
forth
that
they
want
us
to
attend.
They.
They
talk
to
us
as
well.
T
Okay-
and
so
this
just
provides
a
summary
of
the
attendees
who
came
to
each
of
the
meetings,
so
a
total
number
of
attendees
is
approximately
115
across
all
five
of
the
meetings
and
then
survey
responses
to
date.
I
actually
checked
it
this
morning
and
we're
up
to
a
hundred
we're
gonna
hold
we're
gonna
open.
The
survey
opened
until
March
15th
just
that
we
can
get
as
many
responses
as
possible.
T
A
S
Just
want
to
say,
I
think
that
would
be
really
helpful
to
have
workshops
for
people
to
fill
out.
That
forms.
Yes,
because
I
think
these
meetings
are
one
thing,
but
when
they
people
leave,
there's
more
confused
than
when
they
came
in
sometimes
so
I
think
actually
having
a
workshop
like
here,
we're
going
to
help
you
fill
out
the
forms
yeah.
T
I
can
definitely
host
a
series
of
them
as
the
applications
coming
out
or
even
a
little
a
prior
but
like
before
the
applications
come
out.
So
people
know
what
to
expect,
but
that's
definitely
something
that
we
can
look
into
doing
and
so
I'm
just
gonna
provide
a
brief
format
of
the
meeting
and
then
I'm
gonna
pass
it
over
to
Jamie
who's,
going
to
discuss
the
data
collected
and
the
reasoning
behind
the
questions
and
the
information
that
we
were
collecting.
T
The
reason
why
we
collected
them
in
the
first
place,
so
the
format
of
the
meeting
the
goal
was
to
provide
an
update
on
the
2018
annual
allocation
plan
and
to
hear
feedback
on
how
our
current
programs
are
structured.
Given
that
our
programs
are
just
rolling
out,
we
understand
that
we
will
not
be
able
to
collect
as
much
feedback
in
regards
to
those
who
are
able
to
take
advantage
of
our
programs.
T
So
we
were
really
trying
to
focus
on
getting
feedback
on
how
you
know
whether
or
not
our
current
programs
are
aligned
with
the
needs
of
the
community,
and
you
know
how
they're
structured
and
if
there
was
any
comment
regarding
that.
But
most
importantly,
we
did
want
to
gather
feedback
for
the
future
2019
annual
allocation
plan.
We
wanted
to
hear
ideas,
concerns
and
comments
regarding
our
current
programs,
which
programs
they'd
like
to
see
funded
if
they're
different
or,
if
they're
the
same
and
then
just
general
concerns
and
comments
and
feedback
on
hof.
T
So,
prior
to
the
meeting,
everyone
received
a
resource
sheet
that
provided
a
definition
of
commonly
used
terms
like
a
MI
or
permanent
affordability
or
affordable
housing.
Just
because
a
lot
of
individuals
may
not
know
what
those
terms
mean
when
they
see
it
up
on
the
slide
and
they're
also
provided
with
the
ami
chart
with
the
30
15
80
%
ami
levels,
and
so
we
jumped
in
to
a
brief
presentation
of
hof
history,
a
summary
of
the
hof
legislation
and
then
also
a
summary
of
the
feedback
received
last
year
through
Pittsburgh
United's
meetings.
T
And
then
we
went
into
an
interactive
survey.
That's
when
we
used
the
clickers
towards
the
end
of
our
meeting
series.
That
portion
tend
to
tended
to
be
a
lot
lighter
than
it
was
pretty
survey
heavy
in
the
beginning
and
we
refined
the
process
to
really
focus
on
just
the
the
questions
and
the
questions
that
we
wanted
to
address.
So
then
everyone
participated
in
the
survey
through
the
clickers
and
then
Jamie
can
again
elaborate
more
on
the
data
collected
individuals
also
participated
in
a
map
and
annual
allocation
plan
activity.
T
T
So
again,
I'll
go
what
Jessica
said
on
behalf
of
hof
we'd
like
to
thank
all
of
the
advisory
board,
members,
volunteers
and
community
organizations
that
volunteer
at
the
meetings
and
helped
facilitate
the
meetings.
We
are
extremely
grateful
for
you
taking
the
time
out
of
your
days
to
help
us
and
so
now,
I'll
pass
it
over
to
Jamie.
He'll
provide
an
explanation
of
the
data
we
collected.
V
V
The
first
goal
of
the
survey
was
simply
to
gauge
public
opinion
on
the
issues
that
were
taken
on
in
the
2018
allocation
plan.
The
way
that
we
did,
that
was
just
to
ask
the
participants
to
rate
those
issues
on
a
scale
from
one
to
five,
and
you
will
receive
a
full
sort
of
summary,
pretty
simple
analysis
of
the
responses
that
we
received
once
we
receive
all
of
them,
the
second
one
and
I
think,
extremely
importantly,
we
want
to
ensure
representation
on
those
opinions
across
key
populations.
V
They
were
overwhelmingly
homeowners,
white
attendees
were
over-represented
and
we
got
very
few
responses
from
people
who
had
self-identified
as
having
had
an
affordability
issue
in
the
past.
So
those
are
balancing
out
a
little
bit
better
on
the
online
section.
Another
step
that
we're
taking
to
adjust,
that
is,
to
work
with
partners
to
target
more
vulnerable
residents
using
some
surveys
on
paper.
We
have
to
do
that
in
a
way
that
balances
against
actually
entering
that
data
and
processing
it
before
you
have
to
put
your
allocation
plans
together.
V
V
I
learned
a
lot
about
the
needs
of
parents
and
other
guardians
with
school
children.
The
second
goal
was
to
understand
some
of
the
geographic
facets
of
of
the
affordable
housing
needs.
So
so
the
the
last
two
questions
that
we
asked
were
one:
where
do
you
see
a
need
for
affordable
housing
and
two?
Where
would
you
like
to
live?
V
If
you
could
pick
anywhere
I'm
happy
to
say
that
a
lot
of
people
just
said,
I
want
to
live
where
I
live
now
the
next
step
with
that
is
going
to
be
to
to
document
all
of
those
thoughts
in
the
map,
as
well
as
documenting
some
of
those
comments.
And
then
the
final
goal,
which
was
really
important
to
us,
is
to
mock.
Do
democratize.
V
Some
of
the
terms
that
we
use
I,
think
a
lot
of
us
myself
included,
are
guilty
of
using
sort
of
industry
terms,
and
you
know
we're
talking
about
fair
housing,
we're
talking
about
areas
of
opportunity.
We
want
people
to
be
able
to
understand
and
participate
in
that
discussion.
So
when
we're
asking
these
questions,
the
goal
is
really
to
engage
residents
in
a
conversation
about
the
places
that
they
live
in
about
the
places
that
they
spend
time.
V
V
V
Okay,
the
last
activity
before
having
those
sort
of
roundtable
discussions
was
this
annual
allocation
plan
activity
vitina
mentioned.
Essentially
what
we
did
was
give
residents
10
stickers
to
represent
a
million
dollars.
We
wrote
we
we
put
this
table
together.
That
looks
a
lot
like
your
allocation
plan
listing
the
five
programs
as
they
are
now
and
and
an
explanation
of
those
and
then
listing
a
spectrum
of
affordability,
income
levels
from
low
income
to
extremely
low
income.
V
So
the
one
goal
is
just
to
have
that
gut
check.
What
you're
going
to
receive
to
toward
that
end
is
a
comparison
between
your
allocation
plan
from
2018
and
the
responses
that
we
received
in
the
meetings.
The
second
goal
was
to
expand
on
community
generated
program
ideas.
So
Councilwoman
I
really
appreciate
the
very
good
point
that
you
made
about
making
sure
that
we're
not
leading
people
into
certain
responses.
V
I
think
that
there
are
ways
that
we
can
continue
to
work
on,
that
a
first
step
towards
that
was
to
make
sure
that
we
did
have
these
right
end
options.
So
if
they
wanted
to
say
allocate,
you
can
see
on
this
one
they're
supportive
services
at
the
bottom
and
there's
like
a
ton
of
stickers
on
that
that
block
so
I
will,
will
make
sure
that
we
have
a
good
summary
of
that.
I
thought
that
that
was
super
interesting
and.
A
Just
real
like
this
is
probably
gonna
be
eerily
like
what
we
all
do
as
an
advisory
board.
In
a
couple
weeks,
I
mean
it
was
very
similar
to
what
we
did
last
year,
where
we
all
just
you
know,
allocated
money
into
each
different
items.
So
so
we
will
be
able
to
compile
all
those
to
give
that
to
you
prior
to
us
doing
it
mm-hmm,
okay,.
V
The
last
activity
was,
as
you
know,
having
the
residents
sit
down
with
you
and
sort
of
have
have
a
more
open-ended
conversation
this
one.
We
have
had
an
opportunity
to
make
some
initial
observations
about
at
this
point.
One
of
them
is
that
supportive
services
issue
that
that
somebody
pointed
out
on
the
last
slide.
The
second
one
is
having
programs
that
we
had
a
lot
of
people
who
are
at
the
meetings
that
said
I'm
just
above
the
income
threshold
like
how
do
how
do
what
happens.
For
me,
you
know
same
thing
with
the
online
survey.
V
We
have
an
open-ended
comment
and
and
we're
getting
similar
things.
The
third
is
that
people
are
really
concerned
about
gentrification.
They
want
us
to
be
proactive
about
about
identifying
places
with
rising
property,
property
values
and
coming
up
with
some
creative
strategies
to
deal
with
that.
The
next
one
was
about
rehab
over
new
construction.
I
think
that's
something
that
we've
talked
about
a
lot
and
it's
extremely
important,
given
the
building
stock
in
Pittsburgh
and
simply
the
cost
associated
with
new
construction.
The
last
one
is
we've
talked
about.
A
B
S
G
Something
that
came
up
at
the
West
End,
the
table
talks
was,
and
maybe
it
kind
of
falls
under
number
three,
but
sort
of
like
the
the
neighborhood
character
right
and
the
importance
that
the
housing
market
kind
of
plays
within
that
and
then
the
complementary
kind
of
commercial
etc
and
so
on.
So
that
was
something
that
was
discussed
a
lot
through.
One
of
the
three
sessions
that
Derek
and
I
did
on
the
table.
Talks
I,
would
say
generally,
at
least
for
the
two
meetings
that
I
attended.
I
think
these
are
largely
reflective
of
what
we
heard.
S
In
my
district
in
general,
there's
just
a
distrust
for
government
being
involved
in
any
type
of
housing
or
land
or
water,
or
anything
else
just
about
anymore
and
so
I
think
there's
just
and
they
have
reason
to
be.
People
went
to
jail
for
what
they
did
in
one
of
my
communities,
so
I
mean
they
have
reason
to
be
concerned.
So
I
think
that.
S
During
during
that
those
any
type
of
time,
you
have
discussions
about
housing
and
property
in
our
area,
you're
gonna
have
it's
just
going
to
raise
the
level
of
concern
for
the
right
area
and
I
think
there's
just
a
lot
of
distrust
that
we
have
that's.
Why
I
want
us
to
do
what
we
have
to
do
and
do
it
right
and
I
think
part
of
why
people
came
out
to
some
of
the
meetings
is
because
they
are
concerned
that
they're
going
to
lose
their
homes.
S
They
say
they
are
hearing
about
Pittsburgh,
and
you
know
the
reason
this
campaign
worked
is
because
it
was
keep
Pittsburgh
home.
So
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
to
be
said
for
that.
But
I
also
think
that
well
I'll
talk
about
this
done
and
another
part
of
the
agenda,
but
about
the
community
outreach
I'll
talk
about
it
later.
K
Reflected
here
and
I,
don't
know
that
it
will
ever
be
reflected
in
the
way
we've
structured.
The
conversations
is
that
folks,
who
are
at
the
lowest
level
of
the
income
spectrum,
the
incredible
competition
and
lack
of
resources,
so
for
folks
who
are
trying
to
use
their
section
8
vouchers
who
are
at
the
lowest
end
folks,.
D
J
J
K
K
To
whether
or
not
it
would
make
sense
to
really
try
to
do
a
targeted
outreach
effort
related
to
folks
who
are
at
that
30%
and
below
and
I'm
gonna.
Look
back
at
Bob
Deanwood,
because
I
think
that
the
things
that
we're
doing
don't
touch
those
folks
in
the
same
kind
of
way
and
I
think
that
the
kind
of
outreach
efforts
that
we
do
don't
get
to
them
and
don't
get
to
the
depth
and
breadth.
E
V
V
K
D
A
For
this
year
we
do
have
some
staff
suggestions.
We
wanted
to
talk
about,
keep
in
mind
that
this
committee
was
formed.
I
think
you
were
put
at
the
end
of
June
and
started
in
July,
and
we
spent
several
months
with
the
allocation
and
process.
So
we
actually
spent
did
not
spend
very
many
funds
in
2018
and
the
only
funds
that
were
spent
was
just
we
passed
it
out
of
the
last
month's
meeting.
Some
small
amounts
for
administrative,
a
little
bit
of
Ouray
staff
salaries,
but
we
had
we.
A
The
primary
expense
in
2018
was
HR
na
Advisors
was
the
consultant
that
took
us
through
an
allocation
plan
process,
and
there
were
a
couple
little
expenses
to
to
post-gazette
for
advertising
and
for
a
law
firm
to
review
the
down
payment,
closing
cost
assistance
and
I
think
that
was
an
and
Pittsburgh
United
had
a
contract
with
with
the
dua
for
Housing,
Opportunity
Fund
and
those
were
the
only
expenses
in
2018.
So
so,
given
that
what
we
are
suggesting
is
there
is
a
firm
Marge,
doodle
I.
Think
I
said
that
correctly.
A
That
does
the
URA
s
annual
audits.
They
will
be
in
the
URA
doing
this
over
the
next
couple
months
and
have
given
a
fee
quote
of
2,500
for
them
to
add
on
this
component
and
will
be
able
to
complete
it
over
the
next
couple
months
prior
to
the
June
30th
deadline.
So
for
this
year,
that
would
be
the
staff
suggestion,
but
recognizing
that
for
next
year,
when
we
operate
for
a
full
year
of
programmatic
expenses
to
be
fair
and
equitable,
we
will
do
an
RFP
or
an
RFQ
for
auditors.
At
that
point,
and.
A
S
Doing
an
RFP
for
very
cost
more
staff,
but
I'm
going
to
not
vote
because
in
favor
of
it
so
because
I
just
have
an
issue
with
my
reduce
of
getting
all
the
contracts
handed
to
them
pretty
much
in
a
lot
of
ways.
So
I'm
gonna
bet
on
that,
but
I
understand
the
reason
why
you
wouldn't
want
to
do
an
RFP
for
that
amount.
Okay,.
S
A
A
Down
payment,
closing
costs
or
any
any
loans
or
even
any
rental
loans
in
2018
2018
was
really
more
about
a
process.
Then
then
you
know
closing
loans
and
expending
money.
A
For
that
reason,
you
know
we
suspect,
an
annual
report
to
be
relatively
small
and
and
just
detail
a
process
that
has
happened
and
the
suggestion
on
the
table,
and
once
again
this
is
just
for
2018.
We
plan
to
do
an
RFQ
or
an
RFP
for
2019,
but
for
2018
the
suggestion
would
be
to
work
with
the
company.
A
That
is
doing
the
URA
annual
report
in
a
very
similar
way,
as
with
the
audit
to
to
amend
that
contract
to
include
not
really
doing
the
report,
but
setting
up
a
template
for
us
where
we're
staff
could
then
fill
in
the
information
with
the
help
of
advisory
board
and
fill
in
the
pictures
into
the
template.
Just
just
because
you
know
the
programs
have
not
been
operational.
L
A
A
We
don't
have
the
cost
yet
for
it.
I'll
have
to
cost
by
the
next
meeting
and
I
can
let
people
know
actually
within
a
week.
Wall
to
wall
is
the
the
firm
that
that
has
done
the
you
are
a
report
and
we
are
meeting
with
them
tomorrow.
We
weren't
able
to
get
the
meeting
in
before
before
today's
meeting,
but
I
can
email
the
advisory
board
once
we
have
that
amount.
Let.
H
N
A
E
A
A
A
E
A
A
This
is
to
enter
into
two
requests
for
qualifications,
for
community
outreach,
advocacy
planning
activities
and
for
printing
services.
So
do
you
are
a
does:
have
an
rfp
and
RFQ
requirements
for
procurement,
where
procurement
is
an
open,
equitable
process
for
everything
we
do
or
so
so
that
is
our
suggestion.
There
has
been
some.
You
know.
A
So
what
the
suggestion
on
the
table
is
today
is
that
over
the
next
two
months,
staff
issues
to
rfqs,
one
for
community
outreach,
/
planning
activities
and
then
another
one
for
for
printing
services
and
possibly
add
the
marketing
services
on
to
that
as
well,
printing
marketing
advertising
services
and
do
them
as
rfqs,
not
RFPs,
which
what
that
means
is.
It's
not
RF
peeing
a
particular
project
at
the
time,
but
it's
just
getting
a
slate.
A
So
anyone
who
would
want
to
do
these
services
for
a
Housing,
Opportunity
Fund
moving
forward
would
respond
to
the
RFQ
advisory
board.
But
then
you
know
help
we
would
form
a
committee
to
review
the
responses
and
then
create
a
slate
that
would
go
to
the
advisory
board
and
also
to
do
you
are
a
board
so
that
in
the
future,
when
you
know
things
happen
because
life
happens
relatively
quickly,
sometimes
we
need
to
you
know,
have
outreach
for
a
meeting
or
something
like
that.
A
A
Additionally
to
address
the
concern
of
the
data
from
the
meetings
we
just
talked
about.
We
were
very
heavy
on
homeowners
versus
renters,
which
in
some
respects,
worked
out
because
some
of
our
consumer
facing
programs
that
are
up
and
running
now,
like
down
payment,
closing
cost
assistance
is
geared
toward
homeowners.
But
but
we
do
not
want
to
you
know,
move
forward
without
making
sure
we
we
outreach
to
the
tenants
as
well.
A
The
draft
2019
allocation
plan
should
be
in
draft
form
by
that
point
and
present
it
for
feedback
prior
to
it,
going
to
the
May
advisory
board.
And
you
are
a
board
in
in
final
form
and
potentially
contract
for
a
small
contract
underneath
RFQ
procurement
guidelines
I'm,
so
probably
less
than
five
thousand
dollars
less
than
ten
thousand
to
be
under
guidelines.
A
A
A
S
S
G
S
S
My
comment
on
that
and
on
the
advocacy,
outreach
planning
thing
I
when
I
hear
that
you're
I
think
it's
actually
good
that
we
got
a
lot
of
homeowners
responding
because
they
usually
don't
respond
to
anything.
You
know
at
least
not
in
my
area,
so
I
wasn't
happy
to
hear
that
we
had
some
homeowners,
responding
and
I
mean
actually
I
think
that
we
should
be
putting
an
emphasis
on
them,
but
also
making
sure
we're
getting
some
some
mixed
input
from
renters
I
think
there
has
to
be
a
balance,
but
I
I.
S
Think
that
you
know
just
you
know
in
absorbing
everything
that
happened.
I
mean
this
whole
idea
came
about
with
Pittsburgh
United
and
not
that
I
like
the
way
they
did
it,
and
not
that
I
think
that
everything
was
great
but
I
feel
like
they've
been.
They
were
part
of
the
process.
The
whole
time
and
I
feel
like
there's
like
some
disconnect
now
and
I.
Just
wonder
if
there's
needs
to
be
some
better
relationship.
Building
with
them
in
general,
I
mean
whether
it's
with
this.
This
are
people
queue
process
or
not.
S
I
think
that
in
general
I
mean
when
I
see
the
staff,
that's
been
hired,
I
mean
I,
see
very
few
minorities
on
this
on
the
staff
and
and
not
that
that's
not
if
somebody's
qualified
that
that
shouldn't
preclude
them
from
having
a
job,
but
I
think
that
we've
got
to
remember
that.
You
know
you're
not
going
to
reach
some
of
the
people
that
you
want
to
reach
and
they
were
effective
in
some
of
those.
S
Some
of
the
areas
where
you're
trying
to
reach
so
I
think
that
I
think
we
need
to
do
better
and
trying
to
figure.
It
meant
that
that
relationship,
because
I
think
that
there's
some
tension
and
whether
there's
not
it
is
or
whether
it's
my
perceiving
things
that
aren't
even
there,
because
you
know
hey
I'm
paranoid
I
could
be
seeing
stuff.
S
I'm
not
saying
I
just
feel
like
there
needs
to
be
some
way
that
we
sit
down
with
the
administration
and
them
and
try
to
figure
out
how
we
could
move
forward
together,
because,
if
it
weren't
for
them,
I
probably
won't
even
have
this
right
now.
So
I
just
think.
We
should
have
that
conversation.
I
have.
H
A
question
about
the
idea
of
a
slate
of
consultants
on
a
rolling
basis.
I
feel
like
not
that
I
think
RFQ
is
a
good
idea,
but
I
feel
like
it
should
be
a
strategic
conversation
about
what
outreach
is
needed
and
you
know,
review
applications
for
who
can
provide
those
services,
because
I
don't
really
understand
just
having
a
slate
on
hand.
I
think
it's
kind
of
what
outreach
will
complement.
What
staffs
doing
to
like.
Well,.
A
R
E
G
So
if
the
idea
is
to
have
the
slate
on
both
these
instances
for
two
years
but
we're
doing
a
rolling
RFQ,
do
we
need
it
sort
of
a
closed
date.
Then
more.
The
two-year
clock
starts
because
if
it's
rolling
it's
open-ended
and
if
we're
saying
there's
two
year
period,
then
we're
implying
that
there's
a
start
date.
E
A
A
A
A
L
N
A
N
Think
that
having
attended
I
think
three
of
the
meetings
that
well
I
was
glad
to
see.
Homeowners
were
turning
out
and
had
some
great
feedback
there
well
I
know
from
last
year
we're
missing
another
vantage
point,
and
that
would
be
good
for
us
to
hear
before
we're
voting
on
how
this
money
gets
been.
So
I
would
make
that
motion.
So
we
could
get
a
broader
representative
feedback.
S
It
could
so.
My
concern
is
also
know
when
you're
talking
about
making
sure
we're
reaching
renters
what
about
people
that
aren't
that
are
homeless?
What
about
people
that
are
women,
centers
and
shelters
and
place
to
say,
I
mean
how
are
we
gonna
reach
those
people?
Cuz
I
mean
to
me
that
those
are
people
that
are
really
in
need
of
housing
right
now
that
we
really
should
be,
and.
A
I
mean
we
do
me
pretty
regularly
with
different
committees
that
Department
of
Human
Services
pulls
together.
I've
gone
to
a
lot
of
these
meetings.
Recently
they
all
have
different
names.
There's
two
homeless,
Advisory
Board,
there's
a
hot
forget
what
that
stands
for
local
housing
option
team,
so
I
would
say:
we've
tried
to
start
to
give
word
out
to
these
groups,
but
I
will
take
any
suggestions
as
to
how
to
you
know,
get
word
out
better
to
those
groups.
I'm.
F
H
A
Mean
it's
one
meeting
so
I
can't
imagine
it
would
even
be
close
to
5,000,
actually
we're
asking
for
coordination
of
one
meeting
and
and
we
would
require
them
to
provide
a
scope
for
that
meeting
hourly
rates
and
if
they
do
not
seem
in
line
with
everything
else,
do
you
RA
has
done.
Then
you
know
we
would
not
enter
into
such
contract
up
to
5,000,
whatever
you
want
to
put
in
the
thing
but
yeah.
Let's.
A
H
A
A
A
Which
shows
the
program's
colorful
spreadsheet
and
then
there's
also
the
spreadsheet
that
just
shows
the
commitments
for
a
rental
line
item,
but
the
colorful
spreadsheet
shows
the
five
programs
and
we
weren't
really
sure
how
to
show
commitments
like
for
something
like
that.
The
homeowner
Assistance
Program,
because
we
have
these
contracts
for
service
providers,
but
it's
not
really
expending
the
money.
I
mean
we'll
keep
a
separate
spreadsheet
to
show
the
homeowners
they
come
in
and
you
know
when
the
money
starts
to
to
leave.
A
But
you
can
see
sort
of
the
commitments
to
date.
There's
been
one
point:
eight
million
committed
out
of
the
rental
1.7
million
to
the
program
administrators,
but
not
to
the
homeowners
out
of
the
homeowner
assistance
program,
roughly
twenty
thousand
of
commitments
via
letters
for
the
down
payment,
closing
costs,
one
of
those
has
closed
and
expended.
That
was
the
first
closing
in
Hazelwood
a
housing
stabilization
program.
A
W
So
the
commitments
made
out
of
the
30%
and
below
set-aside,
which
was
in
the
original
allocation
plan,
2.5
million-
there
has
been
one
point:
four
million
committed
to
units
at
30%
or
below.
That
leaves
a
little
bit
over
a
million
dollars
remaining
in
that
set
aside
and
then
in
that
bracket
of
between
50
and
30%.
It
was
originally
one
point
three,
seven,
five
million
at
the
start
of
the
program
we've
committed
about
350
thousand
to
those
50
to
thirty
percent
units,
and
that
leaves
a
little
more
than
a
million
remaining
in
that
pot.
W
N
A
D
N
D
V
The
other
thing
on
the
allocation
issue
is,
we
will
be
able
to
report
to
you
again
soon,
probably
just
after
the
pipeline
question,
how
many
dollars
in
how
many
households
have
been
served
at
the
different
area,
median
income
levels,
because
we
do
take
that
legislated,
a
50
percent
at
30
percent.
Am
I
requirement
very
seriously.
A
And
also,
just
just
in
general,
that
the
calls
I
mean
I
can
tell
you
that
this
line
item
this
year
is
funding
more
preservation
than
I
had
originally
thought
that
it
would.
A
couple
of
the
calls
that
we've
received
that
will
probably
be
they'll,
probably
be
submitting.
Applications
are
projects
similar
to
the
ones
you
saw
last
month
with
wood,
Street
and
Park
View,
where
existing
buildings
need.
You
know,
windows
and
elevators
and
upgrades
there's
a
couple
of
those
that
we
are
aware
of
that.
A
That
plan
to
come
in
there's
also
9%
tax
credit
deal
that
has
experienced
some
costs,
increases
that
have
that
needs
to
close
in
the
next
couple
months
and
has
stated
that
that
they
may
be
applying
there's
also
a
4%
tax
credit
deal
that
contacted
us
that
has
stated
they
would
probably
be
applying
I.
Think.
B
G
D
G
B
N
But
one
of
the
you
know,
conversely,
and
yet
about
people
were
not
hearing
from
that
we're
trying
to
find
to
get
some
feedback
from
you
know
when
we
were
sitting
in
the
subcommittee
I
was
with
Adrian.
We
were
talking
about
the
number
of
people.
We're
gonna
serve
with
the
supportive
services
for
the
year
at
175.
I'm,
not
seeing
Adrian
get
visibly
upset
until
she
just
said.
I.
Don't
want
to
hear
that
because
we
we
had
enough
money,
we
could
do
175
a
month
easily.
D
N
A
Been
a
bit
of
a
hesitancy
to
release
it
publicly
because
there's
there
could
be
some
error
factor
and
everybody
names
their
projects,
different
things,
HUD
might
call
something
differently
than
the
you
are
a
and
B
edge
of
aid.
We
had
a
lot
of
difficulty,
scrubbing
and
scrubbing
and
scrubbing
the
data
and
we're
pretty
confident.
It's
probably
ninety
percent
correct
and
we
have
talked
to
the
original
data
center
about
possibly
helping
us
publicly
put
this
information
like
out
on
the
internet,
somehow
we're
looking
at
that.
A
G
D
G
Folks
that
the
authority
have
been
working
to
kind
of
reconcile
and
find
consistencies
just
to
get
to
something,
that's
sort
of
usable
with
a
degree
of
confidence.
The
other
piece
of
it
is
is,
is
you
know,
there's
there's,
probably
something
that
needs
to
be
overlaid
in
terms
of
if
it's
put
out
publicly
then
kind
of
creating
like
unnecessary
sort
of
worry
on
folks
as
it
relates.
So
it
is
as
an
example
if,
if
the
housing
authority
has
a
mixed
finance
project
right,
it's
not
going
to
show
up
as
the
housing
authority
owning
it
right.
G
A
And
then
I
guess
finally,
just
in
terms
of
scheduling
moving
forward,
so
you
know
to
schedule
for
the
2019
allocation
plan.
So
we
had
the
public
meetings
we'll
have
there
in
the
new
ura
office
building
downtown
at
the
end
of
April.
What
the
plan
I
guess
would
be
would
be
prior
to
that
event
to
have
the
draft
allocation
plan
in
place.
So
I
had
sent
out
a
doodle
poll
that
was
live
for
a
couple
weeks
and
we
only
got
less
than
half
responses.
A
D
A
C
H
B
G
N
A
B

G
G

The
housing
authority
approached
me
yesterday
about
an
idea
they
had
for
a
house
and
stabilization
program,
which
would
be
too
late
administer
this
year,
but
they
had
talked
about
potentially
like
what
would
would
want
to
use
some
of
the
funding
directly
to
help
with
people
who
have
vouchers
who
cannot
pay
their
rent
and
pay
them
through
the
program
and
then,
if
there
were
a
way
for
them
to
to
pay
that
off
in
the
future,
and
I
have
no
idea
how
people
feel
about
this.
A
If
there
was
someone
who
had
a
voucher
who
could
not
pay
their
rent
that
they
would
go
directly
to
the
Housing
Authority,
the
Housing
Authority
would
pay
that
rent
the
housing
authority
would
then
basically
tacked
that
charge
on,
so
they
would
pay
like
an
additional
$20
a
month
or
whatever
over
the
next.
However,
many
months
to
repay,
that
is
basically
what
the
Housing
Authority's
proposal
was,
so
that
so
that
the
funds
would
then
continually
revolve.
E
N
A
Know
I
I'm
not
pitching
their
program
today,
I
kind
of
brought
it
up
just
to
say
that
maybe
there's
not
enough
time
before
we
have
to
do
these
annual
allocation
plans
but
and
enviros
left
she's.
The
housing
authority
representative,
the
housing
authority,
has
actually
approached
me
about
a
couple.
Other
programs
as
well
so
I,
don't
know
if
it's
something
the
Weiser
board
would
want
to
do
where
they
meet
with
the
Housing
Authority
and
potentially
some
other.
You
know
lenders
and
participants.
Dhs
also
has
some
ideas
that
they
have
approached
us
with
is
that's
something
divide.
H
D
A
Yeah
I
mean
they're
dead,
they're,
obviously
all
kinds
of
questions
around
it,
but
I.
Just
when
we
talk
about
funding
the
same
programs
or
tweaking
programs
or
doing
different
programs
in
addition
to
the
Housing
Authority
DHS
has
approached
us
with
some
ideas
about
some
seasonal
and
short-term
shelters,
and
things
like
that
as
well.
So
I
am
sensitive
to
everyone.
That's
extremely
busy
and
I
tried
to
not.
You
know:
I
tried
to
limit
the
number
of
meetings,
I'm
scheduling,
because
it
is
hard.
You
know
with
all
your
busy
schedules
but
I'm
willing
to
set
this
up.
A
J
E
E
A
So
we
will
look
into
that.
Cuz
ya,
know,
I,
understand
it's
hard
to
make
all
these
meetings
and
absolutely
do.
We
want
to
turn
the
Friday
meeting
since
that's
the
first
one
coming
up
into
a
meeting
with
funders
potentially
and
then
do
one
or
two
meetings
afterwards
for
allocation
I'll.
Do
whatever
people
are.
G
G
I'm,
a
little
I
mean
I,
guess
I
understand
that
their
idea
of
it
sort
of
being
revolving,
and
that
raises
a
whole
host
of
other
questions.
I
would
have
if
they're
tacking
it
on
quote
tacking
it
on
to
someone's
bill
I'd,
be
concerned
about
that,
in
terms
of
that
can
be
further
leveraged
down
the
road,
for
you
know,
eviction,
etc.
G
A
G
A
It's
not
it's
really
not
just
this.
This
particular
housing
stabilization
program.
They
have
mentioned
some
thoughts
on
some
other.
You
know
programs
as
well,
and,
for
example,
they
have
a
down
payment,
closing
cost
program,
that's
themselves
that
goes
with
a
deferred
mortgage
for
first-time
homebuyers
and
I,
mean
I,
think
it
would
be
good
to
have
meeting
a
meeting
with
them
and
the
Weisse
report
at
some
point
to
talk
about
all
these
things.
B
H
A
Okay,
okay,
so
let's
go
with
that:
cuz
cuz
just
backing
into
the
timeline!
If
we,
if
we
do
15th
with
the
Housing
Authority,
that
gives
us
two
more
weeks
in
March
to
to
schedule
the
allocation
meetings
and
then
at
the
April
advisory
board.
I
think
we
are
gonna,
have
several
rental
requests,
but
we
can
talk
about
what
it
looks
like.
The
draft
is
going
to
be.
You
know,
based
on
those
meetings,
but
not
I,
don't
want
to
officially
vote
on
it
until
May
after
we
have
the
meeting.
N
F
A
N
A
A
L
E
A
That
again,
so,
let's
just
say
to
fair
housing,
inventors,
April,
20th,
I,
don't
know
so
we
would
have
something
prior
to
that
that
that
you
all
agree
to
as
a
draft
yeah,
and
then
it
gets
voted
on.
Finally
in
May
mm-hmm,
which
would
give
us
time
if
we
scheduled
the
fair
housing
meeting
for
the
middle
each
of
April.
If
there
is,
if
there's
you
know,
200
people
at
the
event
and
people
are
like
well,
no,
you
know
we
don't
like
this
and
that
would
give
us
time
to
revamp
probably
mid
April.
A
H
A
Okay,
so
it's
not
a
plan.
Okay,
so
the
15th
I
will
try
to
schedule
it
with
the
Housing
Authority
and
I
will
confirm
with
all
of
you
if
I
can
get
them
on
the
calendar,
for
the
15th
I'll
send
out
a
doodle
poll
for
additional
dates
to
give
us
a
little
bit
more
time
to
get
all
the
feedback
together
from
the
meetings
and
will
circulate
the
feedback
as
soon
as
we
get
it
done.
So
you.
A
M
For
the
record,
I'm
Celeste,
Scott
housing,
just
organize
house,
he
does
this
organizing
for
Pittsburgh
United,
so
I
have
some
questions
about
the
reporting
for
the
community
meetings.
I
just
wasn't
sure,
and
if
I
miss
this,
let
me
know:
did
you
track
like
people's
like
gender
identity?
How
many
folks
were
queer
things
like
things
like
that
ability.
M
M
M
Just
gonna
read
like
one
of
the
comments:
I'm
gonna
do
a
report
and
get
it
to
you,
but
it's
from
the
Amy
Mangum
and
she
says:
I
would
like
the
about
reward
to
know
that
she
would
like
to
see
funds
for
low-income
families
that
are
renters
in
their
own
communities
to
obtain
purchase
power
of
vacant
and
abandoned
homes
and
remodeled
them
within
her
community.
So
I
got
homeowners.
I
got
stakeholders,
people
that
I
know
because
the
text
Bank
it
looks
like
it
comes
from
me
and
then
I
answer
it.
So
it's
really
cool.
M
So
I'll
get
that
to
you
and
the
only
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
I
know
for
I
know
so
the
advisors
well,
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
see
the
name
place,
but
everybody
has
a
slot
that
they
represent
for
the
public,
so
70
people
for
different
slots.
So
you
can
probably
come
up
and
read
them
later
so
I
guess
that's
all
I
have
to
say
thank
you
for
doing
everything
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Thank
you.
X
Good
morning
gasps
sorry
I
was
late
earlier,
woke
up
with
muscle
flat
tire,
so
I
had
to
go
taken
care
of
in
order
to
get
over
here.
My
name
is
crystal
Jennings
I'm,
with
CJ
consulting
and
contractor
through
expert
United,
okay,
Kyle
you
get
axed
earlier.
How
do
we
reach
I?
Think
it
was
you?
How
do
we
reach
homeless
people
or
somebody
X
that
question?
But
it
was
you
okay,
but
you
go
where
they
are.
It
may
be
an
uncomfortable
situation,
but
it
you
go
where
they
are
a
lot
of
them.
I've
met
at
shelters.
X
X
Yeah
I
missed
the
first
hour
and
15
minutes
so
I'm
just
jumping
in
on
what
we
heard,
but
yeah
I'm
Celeste
was
able
to
do
text
baking
yesterday
and
we
got
a
lot
of
good
feedback
input
from.
Thank
you
for
your
support.
I'm,
tired
and
and
I
appreciate,
Swain
and
Laura
coming
to
support
us.
They
came
to
our
housing
table
yesterday,
so
we're
trying
to
respect
19
people
but
we're
trying
to
bring
more
people
to
these
meetings.
X
You
suggested
that
we
gives
it
to
you,
but
we're
still
getting
on
price
they'll
want
to
get
them
so,
but
right,
so
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
you
guys
are
able
to
see
some
of
the
constituents
and
some
of
the
people
that
that
may
be
having
issues
with
something
in
their
lives
or
may
know
someone
who's
coming
here
to
get
the
information
that
they
can
also
pass
out
to
the
communities.
So
thank
you
all.
First,
what.
M
X
A
lot
of
we
had
a
lot,
a
lot
of
people
that
came
out
to
our
housing
table
yesterday,
Hazelwood
and
all
types
of
other
areas,
but
if
it'll
go
through
yeah,
so
just
know
that
we're
wondering
to
pack
this
room
to
get
the
community
input
or
just
involved
with
the
situation
instead
of
it
just
being
just
a
handful
of
us
each
time,
but
I
appreciate
you
guys
sitting
here
for
almost
three
hours
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
continue
working
with
you
guys.
Thank
you.
M
So
we
are
working
with
and
Jessica's
on
the
panel
in
the
12,
but
we're
doing
our
own
working
with
Pennsylvania's
for
modern
courts
to
do
a
landlord-tenant
workshop
on
the
fourteenth
at
Pittsburgh
United
from
6:00
p.m.
to
8:00
p.m.
so
Bettina
I,
don't
know
if
you
want
to
come
out.
We
were
partnering
with
us.
Northside
Coalition
for
fair
housing,
landless,
People's,
Alliance
and
Bob
is
helping
us,
but
he's
not
on
the
flier.
But
there's
gonna
be
a
housing
law
Q&A.
So
I'd
like
you
to
come
out
and
we're
gonna
be
talking
to
people
about
everything.
M
M
Sorry
it'll
be
on
March
14
from
6:00
p.m.
to
8:00
p.m.
at
Pittsburgh
United,
which
is
841
California
Avenue
one
five,
two
one
two
and
it
will
be
a
landlord-tenant
workshop
run
by
Pennsylvanians
for
a
modern
court,
judge
Ravenstahl
will
be
moderating
and
Bob
will
be
doing
and
other
housing
lawyers
a
Q&A
at
the
end.
So
yes.
X
A
X
M
One
five
two,
two
four
and
judge
Pappas
will
be
moderating
and
then
Jessica.
Our
a
panel
and
Pennsylvania's
forum
on
court
will
be
doing
the
workshop,
so
those
are
happening
out
in
the
community
to
get
people
out,
and
so
it's
the
opportunity
for
the
health
Opportunity
Fund
as
well
to
come.
People
also
I
think
the
idea
about
magistrates
is
really
good,
so
I'm,
hoping
that
we
will
filter
the
resources
to
magistrates
as
well.
Okay,.
J
I'm
Carol
and
I'm,
with
the
Hill
District
consensus
group
and
just
a
back
celesta.
We
have
a
renters
rights
workshop
and
we're
working
with
the
Pennsylvanian
some
modern
Court
as
well.
We
had
a
great
turnout
judges,
we
had
judges,
magistrates,
we
had
landlords,
we
have
residents
and
they
packed
that
Hill
House
auditorium
on
the
coldest
night
that
you
can
imagine
the
reason
why
I'm
saying
I'm
a
work
backwards,
because
the
problem
with
homeless
we
have
to
get
some
policies
in
place
like
just
cause.
J
Eviction
sand
also
get
the
whole
court
system
and
everyone
to
be
on
the
same
page,
because
we
did
a
survey
about
how
many
people
get
evicted
per
year
and
it
would
scare
you
so
that
means
people
are
getting
evicted
and
most
of
the
magistrates
and
judges
they
said
they
really
don't
want
any
victim
pay
to
rent,
but
some
of
it
it's
not
enough.
I,
guess,
understanding
between
the
land
courts
and
the
people
that
are
actually
renters
and
then
sometimes
there's
some
social
services
components.
J
A
lot
of
things
are
missing,
so
I
wanted
to
work
backwards
and
start
with
the
rental,
because
I
do
usually
be
here
or
speaking
on
behalf
of
rentals
renters,
but
today,
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
homeowners.
Thank
everyone
for
coming
out
to
Grace
memorial
church
last
week.
I
did
my
best
to
get
people
out
there.
J
J
For
instance,
if
you
and
I've
been
trying
to
work
with
Bob
on
that
and
I
went
to
my
economic
professor,
he
said
curled,
you
have
to
speak
to
real
income
because
real
income,
doesn't
wages,
doesn't
keep
up
with
inflation.
So
without
going
back
to
economics,
I
said:
okay,
it
makes
sense
because
under
the
real
income,
then
it'll
capture
what
people
are
really
paying
out
and,
for
instance,
like
a
lot
of
the
homeowners,
they
felt
like
well
we're
at
we're
working
we're
acting
incomes,
but
we're
either
over
income.
J
But
all
our
housing,
expenses
or
adding
up
ass
are
our
incomes.
I,
say:
yeah,
that's
interesting!
You
know
because
a
lot
of
homeowners
been
in
their
homes
or
inherited
their
homes,
and
so
now
they
have
to
do
a
lot
of
repairs,
but
with
they're.
Also,
probably
on
their
way
to
retirement,
and
then
a
lot
of
them
said
we
didn't
have
time
to
build
wealth
like
everyone's
saying
building
wealth.
J
With
this
hell,
monger
stuff
we've
really
been
taking
care
of
family
members
in
these
homes
we
really
been
trying
that
it
still
get
to
work
every
day
and
then
another
interesting
thing
that
came
out
of
it
was
a
lot
of
people
are
concerned,
since
they
probably
do
take
care
of
parents
or
whatnot.
But
if
you
don't
watch-
and
if
you
get
caught
up
with
the
waiver
program
with
Allegheny
County,
you
can
lose
your
home
just
a
whole
lot
and
I
want
to
capture
that.
J
If
I
can
and
make
a
report,
because
I
know
you
try
to
capture
but
I'm
still
getting
a
lot
a
lot
of
feedback
from
that.
And
then
the
biggest
thing
was
student
loan
debt.
And
you
know
you
want
to
go
to
retirement.
You
want
to
hold
on
to
what
you
have,
but
it's
just
too
much.
Debt
and
I
think
the
biggest
thing
that
came
out
of
where
people
were
man,
y'all
were
there.
J
They
felt
like
you,
were
willing
to
help
first-time
home
owners
from
out
of
the
city
and
invite
them
in
and
not
help
them
stay
in
their
homes.
And
so
that
was
like
a
double
whammy
and
then
the
other
double
whammy
was
you're
willing
to
help
developers,
especially
community
developers
that
are
really
like
one
day:
they're
developers,
but
their
real
estate,
people
and
they're
scooping
up
houses
and
flipping.
Then
the
people
that
want
to
stay
in
their
home,
so
I
said
wow.
This
is
interesting.
J
I
said
normally
I
do
stand
and
advocate
for
renters,
but
you
know
one
woman
said
no
I'm
a
homeowner,
and
if
this
is
the
case,
I
won't
even
be
able
to
become
a
renter
because
there's
a
shortage.
So
if
I
said,
okay,
we're
going
we're
going,
I'm
a
feed
to
spike
and
we're
going
to
get
this
together.
But
it's
just
a
lot
of
things
that
maybe
the
Housing
Opportunity
Fund
could
be
a
good
vehicle.
But
it
needs
to
what
speak
to
policy
and
it
needs
to
speak
to
people.
J
You
know,
and
there
needs
to
stop
placing
development
over
people
because,
as
you
know
and
Jessica
know,
the
choice
neighborhood
in
the
hill
people
are
disappointed
about
that.
I
don't
even
want
to
start
there,
because
the
issue
was
too
much
development.
No,
you
know
the
hill
was
vacant.
You
could
build
wherever
you
want,
and
that
was
the
issue
all
the
time
around
the
table.
Instead
of
saying
how
do
we
get
made?
People
hold,
so
you
know
a
lot
of
it.
I
wrote
notes
here
near
and
I
know.
We
have
to
go
bye-bye.
J
X
J
Lot
of
times,
I'll
run
into
people
and
they'll
say
well:
curl
I'll
help
you
and
I'll
just
give
them
money
off.
My
pocket
and
I
said:
maybe
this
fun
can,
you
know,
be
used
to
help
people
and
the
residents
and
they
would
be
able
to
educate
door
knock
and
do
all
that
stuff
and
finally
take
pride
and
be
stewardship.
J
You
know
yeah,
and
so
you
know
but
like
for
me.
A
lot
of
us
are
funding
a
short,
so
you
know,
but
I
do
what
I
can
because
I
know
that's
rough,
but
there's
people
that
want
to
be
involved.
And
finally,
this
I
almost
forget
this.
When
you're
talking
am
I
on
this,
a
lot
of
people
didn't
know
what
you
were
talking
about.
Okay,
so
we
have
that's.
J
About
maybe
like
I'm
around
the
table
really
telling
people.
This
is
what
they
mean
by
my
blog
and
they
just
didn't,
understand
the
language
and
tell
it
got
to
the
numbers
and
they
see
where
their
incomes
were,
and
they
felt
like
only
help
with
lighting
gasps
I
really
need
a
roof.
I
really
need
two
Sanai,
you
know,
and
so.
D
J
A
You
and,
and
just
one
quick
comment,
because
I
thought
you
brought
some
great
great
things
up
and
one
one
thing
that
we've
been
thinking
about
since
these.
These
public
meetings,
especially
the
meeting
in
the
hill,
is
for
the
folks
that
are
just
slightly
higher
than
50%
ami.
You
know
the
HOF
is
governed
by
legislation
that
dictates
to
income
levels
to
a
certain
extent,
but
through
this
process
we
would
really
like
to
take
it
a
step
further
and
look
at
how
they
they
work
in
conjunction
conjunction
with
other
ura
programs,
because
we
do
have
some
other.
J
Person
for
real,
because
you
know
I
go
over
Sam
you
all
the
time
and
I
sit
out
their
feet,
but
you
know
they're
over
there
making
a
lot
of
sense
for
a
lot
of
things
and
I'm
not
trying
to
put
anyone
down
but
they're
like
curl.
You
have
to
understand
the
government
is
behind
and
they
you
know,
don't
want
it
admit
it
we're
here.
So
I
think
there
has
to
be
that
day,
because
I'm
gonna
keep
on
pushing
for
that
real
income
time.
I
figure
that
out,
you
know
and
well
one.
A
Thing
is
time
you
look
at
this
team
over
here.
We
got
some
really
smart,
techie
policy.
Some
people
over
here
that
is
helping
us
kinda.
Take
that
next
leap
and
really
looking
at
that
wants
to
look
at
the
death
of
Jamie
I.
Don't
want
to
speak
for
you
or
Evan,
but
but
you
guys
really
want
to
look
at
the
data.
We
started
producing
and
figure
out
how
to
make.
You
know
good
policy
decisions
moving
forward.
U
E
U
U
You
know
don't
have
access
to
this
anymore
if
they're
outside
of
the
city,
it's
a
huge
problem,
especially
in
the
east
and
I
know,
which
is
related
to
my
next
point
and
I
know
you
you
take
it
into
consideration,
you're,
very
diligent
and
measured
about
how
you
make
sure
every
area
has
you
know
some
funding
and
these
sorts
of
programs
addressing
their
needs.
The
East
End
is
very
big,
obviously
and
I
do
think.
U
Just
even
looking
at
the
maps
and
at
the
various
maps
at
the
meetings,
Homewood
is
often
left
out
and
it's
in
the
crosshairs
Homewood
is
next.
We
all
know
that
after
East
Liberty
we've
seen
what's
happened
and
slowly
day
by
day,
people
are
getting
pushed
out
of
Homewood.
You
know
getting
pushed
down
the
Willmar
Dean
or
wherever
else
where
it's
in
it.
You
can't
get
to
your
doctor.
You
can't
get
war,
you
can't
do
anything
out
there.
So
just
keeping
in
mind
don't
forget
home
Thanks.
