A
A
Karen
Garrett
I
see
Karen
welcome.
Karen
Jerome
Jackson
was
not
able
to
join
us
today.
We
will
see
him
next
time,
councilwoman
Deb
gross.
A
This
has
not
appear
to
be
with
us.
Mark
Masterson
here
welcome
Mark
Deidre
Washington.
B
D
E
A
A
Pretty
wonderful,
thank
you.
So
much
we
are
going
to
move
on
to
reviewing
and
approving
the
minutes.
A
Has
everyone
had
a
chance
to
take
a
look
at
the
minutes
that
were
distributed
any
additions,
Corrections
verifications
on
information
in
the
minutes.
A
Thank
you,
Derek
Motion
in
second,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye.
B
A
So
we
don't
have
any
public
comments
today,
as
we
talk
about
regularly.
It's
always
disappointing
to
not
have
public
comment,
so
we
will
all
you
know,
keep
our
eyes
ears
and
Minds
open
to
ways
that
we
can
engage
more
with
folks.
The
virtual
setting
is
hard,
but
we
will
continue
to
try
to
encourage
as
much
public
participation
as
we
can,
but
for
today
we
won't
have
public
comment
and
we're
going
to
move
right
into
an
exciting
part
of
the
agenda.
A
Last
time
we
had
talked
about
the
opportunity
for
our
group
to
weigh
in
on
some
decisions
that
could
be
made
in
a
wider
array
of
places.
You
know
in
the
housing
Arena
one
of
those
entities
that
we
always
are
partnering
with
talking
about
thinking
about
is
Housing
and
Urban
Development,
and
we
have
an
incredibly
unique
opportunity
right
now
that
section
504
is
being
opened
for
review
and
comments
and
Section
504
is
critical
when
we're
thinking
about
accessibility
and
fair
housing.
A
So
fortunately,
we
have
our
partner,
Megan
Hammond
here
and
she's,
going
to
be
guiding
us
through
a
conversation
about
504
and
the
input
we
might
like
to
give
back
to
Housing
and
Urban
Development
from
this
community
as
to
what
we
prioritize
and
what
we're
thinking
about.
Accessibility
and
fair
housing.
F
Thank
you
kindly
Adrian,
and
for
making
the
space
to
have
the
conversation
amongst
his
body
about
the
potential
for,
as
Adrian
mentioned,
for
the
Advisory
Board
to
submit
a
public
comment
to
Hajj
Federal
rulemaking
on
the
update
that
is
now
occurring
to
Section
504
of
The
Rehabilitation
Act
of
1973..
F
It's
a
tremendous
law
that
is
a
very
bureaucratic
process
and
the
last
time
the
regulations
were
created
was
in
1988,
and
so
HUD
is
looking
to
update
what
disability,
accessibility
and
federal
programs
in
this
context
were
discussing
housing
and
what
disability,
accessibility
means
and
looks
like
in
2023.
F
So
I
have
nothing
if
not
Powerpoints
and
back
to
go
through
the
setting
of
what
the
laws
are
that
we're
discussing
as
well
as
what
the
context
is
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
in
What
will?
What
I'll
show
is
that
I
cannot
understate
enough
the
need
that
we
have
for
accessible
housing,
and
this
is
not
income
based.
F
Certainly
in
this
body
we're
discussing
low
income
housing,
but
the
need
for
accessible
housing
is
a
city-wide
neighborhood-wide
problem
and
we'll
go
through
the
data
that
showcases
just
how
old
our
housing
stock
is,
and
our
housing
stocks
largely
three
dates.
Any
federal
requirement
regarding
disability
accessibility.
So
anything
we
do
with
the
scarce
resources
that
we
have.
F
What
if
the
conversation
I
want
to
highlight
today,
is
it's
not
about
meeting
the
federal
minimums,
but
about
us
as
a
city
having
a
prioritization
and
a
creative
approach
to
how
we
can
make
sure
that
the
what
we
can
build
and
renovate
is
made
as
accessible
as
possible
within
the
resources
that
we
do
have.
So
let
me
share
my
screen
into
the
PowerPoint.
D
F
So,
just
to
restate
for
anyone
who
hasn't
heard
me
before
my
name
is
Megan:
Hammond
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
The
Fair,
Housing,
Partnership
of
Greater
Pittsburgh.
Our
office
is
over
in
the
Strip
District
and
we
are
a
private
non-profit
and
we
do
contract
with
Hud's
Department
if
they're
housing
equal
opportunity
for
fair
housing
and
activities
as
what's
called
a
Fair,
Housing,
Initiative
Program
or
a
fit
for
those
of
you
following
along
with
the
government
acronyms
and
so
to
launch
right
into
it.
F
So
let's
have
a
context
for
what
the
laws
are,
that
504
fits
within
so
504
the
Rehabilitation
Act
of
1973.
Again,
if
you
haven't
yet
watched
the
Netflix
documentary
called
cam,
it
is
a
wonderful
marvelous
documentary
that
goes
through
the
process
that
it
took
that
section,
504
didn't
appear
out
of
thin
air.
It
was
an
amazing
group
of
Disability
Advocates
that
pushed
and
pushed
and
pushed
literally
to
the
point
of
wheelchair
users
were
crawling
up.
F
The
steps
of
the
capital
in
BC
to
highlight
how
inaccessible
America
was
and
continues
to
be,
and
it's
a
marvelous
documentary
for
contextualizing.
What
section
504
is
and
what
the
law
says
is
that
recipients
of
Federal
funds,
all
programs
and
activities
cannot
discriminate
on
the
basis
of
disability
and
in
our
contact
for
discussing
housing
and
predominantly
the
physical
accessibility
of
Housing,
and
so
the
504
regulations
for
what
it
means.
F
What
is
required
when
a
housing
developer
is
doing
new
construction
or
substantial
Renovations
with
Federal
funding
were
published
in
1988,
and
we
are
extremely
fortunate
to
have
an
update
to
the
rulemaking
process
for
what
those
requirements
are,
and
those
comments
are
due
to
the
HUD
register
by
July
24th
of
this
year.
So
one
of
the
points
I
want
to
underscore
early
on
and
there's
so
many
points
to
underscore.
F
But
what
I
want
this
body
to
understand
is
that
when
FHP
and
myself
make
comments
about
housing
and
housing
programs
that
are
coming
to
this
body
for
funding,
when
there's
discussions
about
disability
accessibility,
it's
not
about
meeting
the
federal
minimums.
If
there
was
an
issue
with
the
federal
minimums,
then
you
have
a
fundamental
compliance
issue
which
I
have
the
capacity
to
address.
F
Some
of
the
distinctions
is
that
the
federally
funded
housing
under
Section
504
also
needs
to
respond
to
an
individual
with
a
disability.
So
disability
is
an
identity
like
all
identities,
it's
a
spectrum.
In
fact,
disability
is
almost
a
misnomer.
The
word
disability
is
meaningless
until
you
identify
what
major
life
activity
that
disability
is
referring
to,
that
refers
to
what
an
individual
actually
needs.
I'll
tell
you,
as
many
of
you
know,
I
am
deaf
myself.
I
pass
this
hearing.
F
Due
to
my
speech
and
due
to
early
intervention
that
occurred
when
I
was
a
child
and
I
say
that
to
explain.
I
am
in
a
deaf
family,
both
my
parents
are
deaf
and
two
of
my
three
siblings
are
deaf
and
for
some
inexplicable
reason
my
mom
continues
to
book
a
disability,
accessible
hotel
rooms
and
those
hotel
rooms
are
pointless
for
us
because
those
are
about
wheelchair
accessibility.
Deafness
does
not
require
a
role
in
shower
it
may
sometimes.
F
There's
also
a
need
by
our
federally
funded
housing
providers
to
respond
to
what's
called
a
regional
modification
request
by
an
individual
and
if
it's
a
legitimate
request
to
then
do
the
installation
of
the
grab
bar
of
widening
the
doorways
of
the
ramp
of
a
strobe
light
and
to
do
that
at
the
housing,
provider's
expense
and,
conversely,
in
the
private
Market,
a
landlord
has
to
allow
a
disabled
tenant
to
do
the
modification.
But
it
has
to
be
done
at
the
tennis
expense.
F
So
Section
504
is
hugely
meaningful
in
disability,
accessibility
in
our
housing
environment
throughout
the
city.
So
for
the
in,
in
the
interest
of
the
time,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
all
of
the
disability
laws
that
apply
to
housing
accessibility,
but
to
go
through
a
couple
in
the
context
of
what
it
means
when
housing
developers
are
saying
that
we're
in
better
we're
compliant
with
the
federal
requirements.
F
We're
also
looking
at
the
fair
housing
act
has
it
was
called
a
design
and
construction
component,
and
this
was
passed
in
1988
and
what
this
applies
to
and
what
I
really
want
to
identify.
There
is
a
difference
between
units
that
are
designated
for
a
specific
disability,
so
a
unit
that
is
wheelchair,
accessible,
a
unit
that
is
accessible
for
people
who
are
blind
or
low
vision
or
deaf
or
hard
of
hearing.
F
What
the
Fair
Housing
Act
does
is
that
a
person
with
the
physical
disability,
predominantly
limited
Mobility
should
be
able
to
go
onto
the
property
of
a
multi-family
housing
units
or
more
and
view
the
property
and
go
into
any
unit
and
pick
any
unit
on
that
property
to
live
in.
It
may
not
be
exactly
what
you
need
as
a
matter
of
disability
accessibility,
but
you
have
the
choice
to
be
able
to
run
and
live
in
whatever
unit
that
you
pick
you're,
not
shoehorned
or
sort
of
so-called
forced
into
oh.
This
is
our
disability
accessible
unit.
F
F
If
not,
it's
not
a
zero-sum
game.
I
recognize,
for
example,
that
we
have
an
infrastructure
that
has
built
row
houses.
There
are
sites
in
which
townhouses
are
going
to
be,
maybe
the
only
option
available
to
us,
and
so
we
can
discuss
it.
We
can
look
at.
Why
should
we
have
steps
going
into
the
entrance
of
the
townhouse?
Let's
make
it
visible
or
what?
If
we
can
put
an
accessible
half
staff
or
a
full
bath
on
the
first
floor?
Let's
make
sure
the
kitchen
is
accessible
or
what?
F
If
we
did
something
really
simple
and
we're
making
sure
that,
even
if
we're
building
a
townhouse
that
we're
ensuring
that
all
of
the
doors
are
the
32
inch
minimum
for
wheelchair
access,
we
see
way
too
many
properties
throughout
the
region
where
a
apartment
building
is
built.
No
elevator
the
first
floor
units
meet
the
usable
door,
requirements
of
having
a
32
inch,
clear,
clear,
Opening
space,
and
then
the
units
above
that
property
above
that
floor
are
29
inches
or
below,
and
disability
is
not
a
singular.
F
We
can
take
that,
even
when
pragmatic
regions
dictate
that
we're
building
units
that
are
exempt
from
design
and
construction
accessibility
that
we
can
be
creative
with
engaging
on
what
can
we
do
to
put
any
type
of
accessibility
into
this
property
to
keep
continue
chipping
away
at
the
inaccessibility
of
our
housing
in
our
region
and
just
to
underscore
how
minimum
the
design
and
construction
components
are.
It
is
simply
that
a
person
with
a
disability
can
come
onto
the
rental
property
can
go
to
the
leasing
office,
go
to
the
common
use
areas.
F
The
community
room,
the
mail-in
area,
get
to
their
apartment,
enter
the
door
use
the
light
switches
is
in
the
outlets
and
go
into
and
out
of
their
kitchen
and
bathroom,
and
also
that
there
is
reinforcement
done
at
the
point
of
construction
or
renovation
to
the
bathroom
walls,
because
if
you
don't
have
experience
with
grab
bars,
if
you
don't
reinforce,
the
walls
before
you
put,
grab
bars
in
plaster
or
drywall
is
not
built
to
withstand
body
weight.
F
The
architectural
barriers
act
are
the
real
key
laws
in
understanding
what
it
means
to
disability:
accessibility
in
housing.
The
Ada
is
looking
at
a
you
know:
place
of
employment,
government
facilities
and
largely
any
any
component
of
a
modern
day
society
that
is
open
to
the
public.
F
F
F
Now
we
can
discuss
all
the
different
Urban
Design
components
that
occurred
at
that
time,
and
we
can
discuss
how
the
suburbs
were
built
in
the
post-war
boom,
and
so
there's
reasons
why,
in
urban
centers
such
as
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
has
such
an
old
housing
stock
and
the
construction
Focus
that
was
incurring
back
a
hundred
years
ago
that
focused
on
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
then,
when
you
look
at
the
Metropolitan
statistical
area
of
Pittsburgh,
the
Pittsburgh
MSA,
which
is
seven
Southwestern
counties.
F
There's
no
other
County,
that's
even
in
the
40
and
Allegheny
county
is
in
fact
there's
other
counties
in
our
region
that
have
more
older
housing
than
Allegheny
County
as
a
whole
does
but
Pittsburgh
as
a
city
as
an
urban
center
has
an
extremely
old
housing
in
which
so
much,
if
not
all,
of
that
housing
is
utterly
and
completely
exempt
from
all
the
laws
that
we
just
talked
about
the
nuances
of
the
laws
that
we
talked
about.
Key
components
of
compromises
that
were
necessary
in
passing.
F
Those
laws
included
grandfathering
in
the
built
environment
as
it
existed
at
the
time
of
the
passage
and
additional
accessibility
requirements
only
come
into
play
when
Federal
funding
is
involved.
So
that's
the
context
and
to
further
look
at
what
construction
and
housing
has
looked
like
in
our
region
over
the
past
hundred
years.
F
Is
that
I
put
all
this
math
in
front
of
you
to
show
that
we
at
no
point
in
the
past
hundred
years
have
had
a
housing
boom
since
the
50s,
and
so
this
13.2
percent
of
so
of
our
total
housing
units
in
the
city
right
now,
13.2
percent
of
them
were
built
from
1959
to
1950
to
1959
in
the
50s
during
the
post-war
construction
boom.
And
so,
as
you
look
at
the
percentages
of
housing
that
were
built
in
other
decades,
ranging
from
eight
to
six
percent.
F
As
we
get
into
the
modern
era,
we
go
under
five
percent
of
new
units
being
added
to
our
our
housing
environment,
and
that
goes
to
say
that
the
units
that
we
have
built
that
are
Loosely,
I,
say
Loosely,
because
there's
all
these
nuances
as
if
it's
multi-family
housing,
if
it
has
elevators
if
it
has
townhouses
but
the
units
built
before
19
the
units
built
after
1990,
which
is
based
on
the
map.
It's
really
1991
that
we
need
three
decades
of
units
built
that
are
applicable
to
modern
day.
F
Disability,
accessibility,
requirements
and
housing
is
a
total
of
10.6
of
all
the
units
in
the
city,
and
so
not
only
do
we
have
10
almost
11
percent
of
units
that
are
even
jurisdictional
to
accessibility,
laws
and
housing,
but
we
have
almost
half
of
the
remaining
housing
older
than
1939
and
I'm.
Sure
all
of
us
have
different
experiences
with
that.
F
What
that
means
pragmatically
I'll
say
that
my
first
apartment
out
of
college,
the
window
broke
and
the
top
pain
fell
down
and
I
was
looking
at
it
and
I
realized
that
why
the
top
pain
had
fallen
down
was
because
the
infrastructure
inside
the
window
that
controlled
the
pulley
system
that
controlled
the
window
going
up
and
down,
was
made
out
of
rope
because
the
window
was
original
to
the
building
construction
in
19010
1910,
or
something
like
that.
F
So
there's
a
real
impact
on
how
old
our
housing
is
throughout
the
city
and
a
real
impact
on
the
fact
that
so
much
of
the
housing
in
our
city
is
simply
not
jurisdictional
to
accessibility
requirements
and
require
Federal
funding
in
order
for
those
requirements
to
come
into
play,
and
otherwise
we're
only
looking
at
new
construction
and
the
construction
that
we're
seeing
is
not
nowhere.
Matching
a
the
construction
that
occurred
prior
to
largely
the
60s,
so
I
want
to
humanize
this
for
a
second
and
I'll.
Explain
why?
F
But
let
me
explain
Rhoda's
story,
so
Rhoda
was
a
tenant
in
Oakland
and
she
was
a
client
at
FHP
I
handled.
Her
call
myself-
and
this
was
a
few
years
ago,
and
what
happened
with
Rhoda
is
both
her
legs
were
amputated
and
she
used
a
wheelchair
and,
at
the
point
of
the
amputation
she
was
living
in
a
nursing
home.
F
So
you
may
understand
that
people
with
disabilities
don't
want
to
live
in
nursing
homes
and
assisted
living
in
the
idea
and
the
concept
of
federal
laws
that
the
concept
of
what
we
believe
in
as
a
city,
I
believe
is.
Integration
is
inclusivity
and
that
people
with
disabilities
have
access
to
any
of
these
units
that
we're
talking
about
and
to
have
the
opportunity
to
live
there.
F
Because
if
you
understand,
when
you
have
an
amputation
that
can
come
with
circulatory
issues
that
causes
clots
and
other
issues
that
can
require
hospital
care
to
Touch
Faith
and
to
address
and
then
you're
able
to
to
return
home.
So
rhodus
property
manager
allegedly
confronted
her
and
said
that,
because
of
her
hospitalization,
that
the
property
manager
was
requiring,
that
wrote
a
move
into
a
two-bedroom
unit
and
get
a
lemonade.
F
F
But
what
we
discovered,
while
we
talked
to
Rhoda,
is
that
she
lived
in
federally
funded
housing
that
had
been
built
prior
to
1990
in
the
decades
earlier,
and
the
doors
even
after
the
renovation
into
federally
funded
housing
were
extremely
narrow
and
her
knees
and
elbows
were
getting
hurt
and
bruised
going
in
and
out
of
the
doors
and
she
couldn't
even
get
inside
her
kitchen
and
her
bathroom,
and
so
she
was
having
to
do
sponge
baths
in
her
bed
and
she
couldn't
even
prepare
food
or
put
any
food
in
the
microwave.
F
She
talked
about
all
she
needed
all
that
made
a
massive
difference
in
her
life
would
being
able
to
go
into
her
kitchen
to
get
into
the
bathroom
roll
up
underneath
her
sink
because
the
cabinets
had
been
removed.
The
piping
has
been
insulated,
so
she
won't
burn
herself
on
the
hot
water
pipe
and
wash
her
hands,
and
it
was
absolutely
a
phenomenal
phenomenal
experience
for
her
and
to
Showcase.
F
F
One
is
intersectionality,
I
want
to
be
abundantly
and
overwhelmingly
clear
that
when
myself
or
anyone
at
the
Fair
Housing
Partnership
is
discussing
disability,
accessibility
and
housing,
we
are
discussing
intersectionality.
We
are
not
discussing
by
proxy
in
a
certain
group
or
community
of
people.
We
are
discussing
all
of
Pittsburgh
every
single
neighborhood,
every
single
Community,
not
only
seniors,
but
groups
of
families
with
children
as
well
all
need
access
to
accessible
housing.
This
is
impactful
and
important
to
every
single
unit.
We
build
and
is
not
a
senior
issue.
F
F
Wasn't
even
a
year
after
the
renovation
was
done,
wrote
a
unfortunately
passed
away
and
she's,
not
the
only
client
that
this
has
happened
to
at
that
had
passed
away
during
the
process
with
FHP
and
I,
say
that,
because,
when
I'm
asking
for
us
to
consider
as
we
look
at
disability,
accessibility
in
the
developments
and
the
renovation
proposed
here
is
that
we
get
it
right
at
the
point
of
construction,
because
it
has
such
a
meaningful
impact
on
actual
human
beings,
quality
of
life.
F
And
there
are
so
many
instances
in
which
there
are
people
who
could
have
had
a
completely
different
quality
of
life.
If
these
laws
had
compliance
meaningful
compliance
at
the
get-go,
rather
than
it
coming
in
a
reactive
way.
When
someone
reports
it
and
we
come
in
after
the
fact
in
order
to
to
address
it.
So
why
this
body
is
so
important
is
looking
at
it
now,
as
opposed
to
it
being
a
retrofit
later
because
of
a
complaint
and
I
also
just
want
to
underscore
and
to
go
back
to
that
concept
of
the
federal
minimums.
F
What
the
Section
504
review
is
doing
now
is
looking
at
the
federal
minimums
and
what
does
it
mean
to
change
them
if
we
do
change
them,
but
regardless
of
what
happens
with
Section
504
at
the
federal
level,
I
know
that
to
all
of
you,
we've
worked
together
long
enough
and
I
know
you
all
enough
to
know
that
it
matters
to
you
as
well.
It
matters
to
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
as
well,
and
so
what
can
we
do
to
prioritize,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
pragmatically
it's
not
an
overnight
solution?
F
But
how
do
we
look
at
every
single
Housing,
Development
and
housing
program
and
consider
and
make
sure
that
it's
its
conception
and
its
actual
implementation
is
not
simply
meeting
these
laws
but
we're
finding
creative
ways
to
make
sure
that
they're
accessible
for
people
with
disabilities,
because
the
need
in
our
city
is
so
extremely
large
and
overwhelming
that
the
federal
minimums
are
having
us
barely
getting
by
with
having
units
for
people
to
access
and
that
in
order
to
make
a
meaningful
dent
in
the
age
of
our
housing
stock?
F
And
it's
accompanying
accepts
inaccessibility
is
that
we
take
purposeful
and
intentional
looked
at
what
it
means
to
not
simply
be
in
federal
compliance,
but
what
it
means
to
be
creative
with
the
limited
funds
that
we
have
to
tweak
and
do
what
we
can
to
make
units
accessible
in
any
way
that
we
can
at
the
point
of
construction
and
renovation,
so
what
I'll
go
into,
and
what
that
leads
us
to
in
terms
of
the
concept
and
purpose
of
this
conversation
is
what
we
pulled
out
of
the
rulemaking
process
at
the
504
proposed
rule
is
a
few
questions
that
pertain
to
the
kind
of
activities
that
this
body
funds
and
so
I'll
just
go
through
you.
F
You
can,
you
know,
I'm
extremely
interested
for
for
any
thoughts
that
you
have
now
and
to
make
any
discussion
points
that
you
have
you're
welcome
to
follow
up
with
discussion
points
and
what
we'll
do
over
the
next
month
is
we'll
draft
a
comment
letter
from
this
body.
F
That
draft
will
go
out
for
everyone
to
review
and
then
we'll
ask
the
body
to
vote
on
that
draft
being
finalized
so
that
it
can
be
formally
submitted
to
the
federal
registrar
and
what
it
will
do,
not
simply
for
us
to
have
the
discussion,
but
it
will
show
the
federal
government,
the
city
of
Pittsburgh's
commitment
that
I
know
we
all
have
in
what
we
need
to
do.
F
What
we
can
do
to
make
disability
at
disability,
accessibility
and
housing
in
2023,
more
meaningful
and
up
to
date,
as
opposed
to
what
it
was
made
in
in
1988..
So
to
open
up
the
discussion,
points
and
I'll
just
give
an
example
or
two
and
I
won't
spend
long
on
the
individual
questions
and
I'm
interested
to
hear
any
thoughts
that
you
have
is
so
one
of
the
concepts
is.
F
What
we've
been
talking
about
is
that
newly
constructed
housing
is
designed
and
construction
to
be
readily
accessible
for
people
with
disabilities,
with
current
minimums
in
multi-family
housing.
Those
minimums
are
currently
five
percent
for
Mobility
impairments
and
two
percent
provision
or
hearing
impairment,
and
so
that
goes
back
to
what
features.
What
accessibility
feature
to
those
unit
have,
and
so
the
question
that
hudded
asking
the
nation
is:
should
we
increase
this
minimum?
F
Should
this
be
higher
in
terms
of
how
a
unit
should
be
explicitly
how
many
units
should
explicitly
have,
for
example,
a
strobe
light,
alarm,
clock,
strobe,
light
fire
alarm
or
doorbell,
for
example?
How
many
units
should
explicitly
have
lowered
countertops
or
mood
countertops
and
be
explicitly
for
for
wheelchair
users?
So
I'll
turn
it
over
any
any
thoughts
by
anyone
on
this
concept
of
if
the
minimum
should
be
raised.
A
Megan
I
think
that
this
is
a
really
interesting
question
on
a
variety
of
bottles
and
I.
Think
to
a
point
you
made
earlier.
Maybe
what
our
community
really
thinks
is
it's
not
percentage
based
it's
that
conception
of
how
to
build
base
housing
in
such
a
way
that
it
facilitates
renovation
and
modification
going
forward
for
individual
needs.
A
So
I
had
the
pleasure
of
meeting
with
some
folks
from
the
city
county
task
force
on
disabilities
and-
and
they
also
raised
that
issue
of
sometimes
it's
just
over
accessible.
You
know
we,
we
might
have.
You
know
20
units
that
are
over
accessible,
but
then
we
have
50
people
that
are
waiting
for
minimal
accommodations.
So
you
know
for
me
as
I'm
thinking
through
the
Hof
lens
I.
Don't
know
that
there's
a
magic
number
I
think
it
should
be
more.
A
F
F
One
of
the
considerations
I
would
raise
to
the
city
is
I
understand
that
the
funding
requests
that
are
being
made
at
this
point
is
that
we're
in
a
pre-development
pre-construction
stage,
but
to
the
extent
possible
that
a
housing
management
how
a
landlord
has
been
selected
is
that
what
can
be
provided
at
this
stage
if
it
doesn't
have
to
be
final,
but
to
make
sure
it's
intentional
is
what
the
reasonable
accommodation
modification
process
is
by
that
housing
provider?
F
That's
great
all
right!
So
I'll
go
to
the
next
question.
As
I
know,
I
have
I,
always
have
a
fire
hose
of
information
and
so
I
I
love
and
would
welcome
any
comments
after
the
fact,
as
well
and
you're
welcome
to
email
me
and
and
I
love
having
conversations
about
housing.
So
one
of
the
other
questions
we
have
about
five
here:
does
the
lack
of
accessible
units
discourage
applications
from
eligible
units?
But
what
extend
is
the
lack
of
accessibility
of
barrier
to
individuals
and
families,
utilizing
HUD
assisted
housing
programs?
So
this?
F
This
is
the
age-old
question
that,
to
those
who
have
been
historically
marginalized,
oppressed
and
kept
out
of
certain
entities,
just
because
you
make
it
available,
doesn't
mean
that
people
come.
There
have
to
be
a
trust
and
openness,
a
Outreach
and
education
that
it
is
now
available
and
not
simply
available,
but
that
you're
welcome.
And
so
this
consideration
of
I'm
curious.
If
anyone
in
their
experiences
and
the
roles
that
you
serve
have
seen
concerns
where
families
with
disabilities
are
not
even
trying
to
get
into
the
federally
funded
housing.
F
D
E
Sure
so
I
I
can't
I
just
was
trying
to
ponder
on
your
first
question
as
well
as
this
one.
So
I'll
start
with
the
first
question
in
at
least
today.
In
our
experience
you
know
in
in
our
new
construction
projects
that
you
know
has
you
know
certain
requirement
for
Ada
or
you
fast
units
we
have
not
seen
and
and
basically
a
need.
E
Our
response,
for
you
know
a
lot
of
units
beyond
what
we
we
had.
You
know
available,
so
I
I
think
I
would
just
speak
as
it
relates
to
new
units.
E
You
know
we
had
a
waiting
list.
For
example,
we
had
a
waiting
list
of
400
and
you
know
the
amount
of
responses
for
the
Ada
accessible
units
were
pretty
much
commensurate
with
what
we
had
allocated
in
that
building.
So
from
from
that
standpoint,
I
wouldn't
necessarily
advocate
for
a
higher
percentage,
but
I
do
think.
Having
accommodations
for
you
know,
kind
of
you
know
existing
units
is,
is
something
that
you
know.
We
should
continue
to
to
to
look
at
and
make
sure
that
there's
available
funding
for
it.
F
For
breakfast,
when
there's
a
number
of
households
and
families
who
there's
an
individual
who
uses
a
walker
or
a
cane
or
maybe
a
wheelchair
temporarily,
and
so
simply
making
sure
that
all
of
the
units
are
usable
for
people
with
disabilities
in
terms
of
having
access
to
all
of
the
units
that
then
can
be
modified
to
an
individual's
needs.
After
the
fact
that
I
certainly
hear
your
point.
G
Just
focusing
on
the
second
question
for
Mike,
you
know:
I
started
my
career
as
a
occupancy
specialist
with
the
Housing
Authority.
So
I
was
the
first
person
that
applicants
would
come
and
see
so
I've
seen,
hundreds
of
applicants
come
in
and
there
is
definitely
a
barrier
to
accessibility.
G
You
know,
even
with
between
2010
and
2020,
when
you
think
of
accessibility,
you're
thinking
of
you
fast
and
you're.
Thinking
of
wheelchair
accessibility
and
the
concept
of
you
know
having
a
hearing.
Impaired
unit
is
Revel.
You
know
seen
as
revolutionary
as
instead
of
the
standard
and
seeing
that
applicant
come
in
from
by
the
time
they
get
into
deemed
eligible
for
a
unit
and
then
once
they
get
into
the
unit
having
to
go
through
the
reasonable
accommodation
process.
G
The
barrier
to
even
filling
out
the
application
is
one
but
then
going
through
this
really
nuanced
process.
That
has
you
know
some
type,
oftentimes
languages
and
legalese
there's
a
lot
of
writing.
If
you're
someone
with
a
hearing
impaired
a
hearing,
impaired
or
vision,
impaired,
there's
a
whole,
you
have
to
then
request
a
reasonable
accommodation
to
have
someone
there
to
then
translate
for
you.
G
So
the
simplest
thing
that
just
simply
requesting
this
is
what
I
need
or
even
articulating
what
your
need
is,
is
really
a
mountain
compared
to
to
compared
to
the
average
person
trying
to
you
know
just
get
something
done
for
their
unit,
so
there's.
G
Definitely
the
process
is
extremely
stressful,
extremely
stressful
and
arduous,
and
the
communication
is
very
difficult
and
if
you're
someone
who
has
to
physically
come
into
an
office
who
has
to
find
an
access
van
ride
to
get
there
and
then
have
the
living
Aid,
maybe
have
to
come
with
you
to
do
whatever
your
task
is
so
from
experience
and
I
and
I.
You
know
you
can
still
kind
of
see
this
today
with
with
folks
who
are
just
trying
to
get
any
type
of
accessible
resource
within
the
city.
G
If
you
know
back
in
the
day
when
everything
was
downtown
and
we
came
in
physically
to
do
things,
every
little
step
makes
the
process
a
hundred
times
harder,
so
that
I've
seen
it
just
seen
folks
be
discouraged
and
just
say
like
this-
isn't
worth
the
time
or
just
become
the
sense
of
despair
of
just
like
this
is
the
toll.
G
The
mental
toll
of
it
not
worth
the
fruit
of
at
the
end
and
then
when
you
are
denied,
for
whatever
reason
and
again
like
you
were
saying,
with
Rhoda
there's
like
miscommunication
and
no
I,
don't
want
a
unit.
I
want
this.
So
when
you,
then
you
have
to
go
back
and
do
an
appeal
and
all
of
that
process,
and
this
is
just
again
speaking
from
my
experience.
G
It
makes
it
that
much
harder
so
they're
absolutely
that
this
I
know
it
still
happens
today
and
that
the
you
know
even
having
the
accessible
units,
if
we
are
not
ensuring
that
there
are
Equitable
practices
from
the
management
office
from
the
second,
that
applicant
comes
through
the
door
until
they
leave,
and
particularly
you
know,
in
a
population
that
wants
to
age
in
place.
G
So
if
someone
who
may
not
have
a
disability
when
they
first
start
there
but
may
have
one
as
they
age
or
has
a
disability
that
is
quote
invisible,
a
chronic
illness
and
as
that
disability
illness
progresses,
they
might
need
support.
It
should
not
be
a
fight
to
do
those
things
and
those
processes
should
be
cleared.
I.
Think
for
a
lot
of
folks
that
process,
if
it's
in
the
private,
Market
I
I,
can't
even
imagine
how
difficult
it
can
be.
F
I
love
hearing
your
comments
after
and
your
experience
as
a
person
in
first
Contact
and
I
concur
with
a
a
great
need
for
a
cultural
competency
at
the
point
of
the
contact
who
are
engaging
with
the
tenants
directly
where
the
word
disability
again
is
just
meaningless
until
the
point
of
contact
must
understand
how
to
ask
questions
and
identify
what
is
actually
needed
and
to
not
have
stereotypes
in
mind
and
to
say:
well,
you
wouldn't
need
that
that
doesn't
apply
to
what
you
need.
I
understand
how
this
works
and
what
you're
asking
for
isn't.
F
What's
act
you
actually
require,
and
those
engagements
to
your
point
about
Despair
and
disappointment
are
monstrously.
Frustrating
I
will
share
from
the
point
of
first
Contact
that
I've
seen
is
the
number
one
request
that's
made
after
construction
and
renovation.
F
Is
that
a
door
whether
it's
the
front
door
or
a
side
door,
that's
being
used
by
tenants
that
is
closer
to
the
elevator
they
use
or
the
stairs
that
the
door
is
a
disability
accessible
regarding
it
has
a
handicapped
button
that
it's
automated
and
all
too
often
at
the
point
of
construction,
the
automated
doors
aren't
a
requirement
and
and
they're
not
installed,
and
we
often
get
requests
to
go
through
the
process
that
you
outlined,
of
providing
the
documentation
to
show
that
we
do
in
fact
need
to
have
that
handicap
button
in
the
automated
door
available
for
people
to
come
and
go
from
the
property
safely.
I
City
staff:
is
there
someone
possibly
trying
to
join
by
phone?
Yes,.
F
I'll
go
to
the
next
question.
I
appreciate
everyone's
feedback
and
conversation.
I
really
really
love.
You
know,
hearing
from
people
other
than
my
own
Echo
and
so
to
to
also
discuss
what
we're
looking
at
is:
how
does
housing
Choice
vouchers
or
what
we
know
is
Section
8
and
other
tenant-based
rental
assistance?
How
do
they
apply
to
affordable
housing
opportunities
for
Disabilities,
they're,
critical
for
ensuring
permanent
Housing
and
crucially,
Community
integration?
F
There's
not
enough
affordable
units
themselves
for
people
to
move
into,
and
so
often
when
people
are
trying
to
transition
out
of
stay
in
nursing,
home
vouchers
or
other
individual
tenant-based
assistance
are
the
key
point
in
being
able
to
either
integrate
into
the
community
or
being
able
to
have
access
when
the
waiting
list
for
units
themselves
are
our
next
one
possible?
Of
course,
all
of
these
programs
have
have
different
barriers
and
limitations.
F
So
the
sub
questions
that
are
being
being
asked
is
what
challenges
exist,
with
Section
8
in
the
private
rental
market,
for
disabled
individuals
who
are
voucher
holders?
Are
there
barriers
in
the
process
in
the
Housing
search
preclusions
for
having
to
live
in
Aid
in
the
private
Market
when
you're
using
a
voucher,
and
is
there
Geographic
diversity?
F
If
not
for
this
type
of
people.
It's
not.
You
wouldn't
be
happy
here,
I
I,
this
is
I.
Don't
want
to
put
a
fair
lift
in
this.
You
know.
Older
historic
property
is
not
something
that
our
private
landlords
should
be
saying
and
engaging
on
when
a
tenant
with
the
voucher
is
who
has
a
disability,
is
engaged
in
the
private
market
so
to
open
it
up
to
any
other
thoughts
or
questions
on
a
section
8.
A
And
just
a
quick
introduction,
I
mean:
do
you
have
Natalie
Ryan
here
with
us
from
action
housing,
it's
sort
of
beyond
the
voucher,
there's
a
variety
of
different
types
of
tenant-based
rental
assistants
that
are
now
on
the
market,
a
lot
more
unique
configurations
for
supported
housing
options
where
a
person's
not
only
getting
housing
support
but
Services
than
just
straight
rental
assistance
and
everything
in
between.
A
So
there's
lots
of
different
ways
that
folks
might
be
paying
rent.
That,
may
you
know
open
them
up
to
Unique
challenges
or
barriers,
because
it's
not
just
being
a
renter.
It's
then
being
a
renter
with
a
subsidy
and
the
subsidy.
Has
you
know
it's?
It's
tentacles
attached
as
well.
F
Well,
in
the
interest
of
time,
I'll
go
I
think
we
have
one
or
two
more
questions
to
go
through
to
bring
up
any
concepts
and
again
we
are
soliciting
Concepts
and
comments
and
follow-ups
all
month
to
draft
and
put
a
comment
together
under
the
hos
and
then
a
HUD
looking
at
so
we
just
went
through
three
of
the
laws.
There
are
more
that
pertain
to
disability,
accessibility
with
Federal
funding
and
housing,
and
so
how
can
they
be
harmonized?
F
How
can
there
be
greater
consistency
to
enhance
the
accessibility
of
the
design
and
destruction
of
housing?
That's
covered
by
multiple
Federal
accessibility
laws.
I
will
give
you
all
here.
An
example.
Fhp
hasn't
been
involved
in
a
case
with
multiple,
fair
housing
organizations
in
different
states,
including
Ohio
and
New
York,
regarding
an
entity,
a
developerator,
a
developer,
an
operator
of
housing
called
Clover
group,
Clover
communities
and
they
have
been
building
in
the
private,
Market
55
and
over
housing.
F
None
of
their
units
have
been
built
or
their
properties
have
been
built
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
in
Western,
Pennsylvania
they've
all
are
in
the
county,
Allegheny
County,
as
well
as
another
County,
forgetting
which
one
as
well
as
the
Erie
and
there's
two
properties
in
this
Brandon
area.
F
But
the
case
that
we
were
involved
in
is
regarding
the
design
and
construction
where
the
properties
were
built
as
an
H
or
an
I
in
the
the
building
itself
as
an
apartment
building,
and
it
met
the
Ada
standards
of
having
an
accessible
route
when
you
park
had
curb
cuts
and
went
into
the
main
entrance
to
go
to
the
leasing
office
as
a
member
of
the
public.
F
But
when
you
moved
in,
you
would
use
the
entrances
on
the
wings
on
the
on
the
sides
that
were
the
other
components
of
the
H
or
the
I,
because
that's
where
the
elevator
was
that
served
your
unit
closer
and
those
parking
areas
and
those
entries
had
no
curb
cuts,
no
accessible
routes.
There
was
no
accessible
route
of
the
covered
parking
garages
that
you
could
pay
extra
for.
There
was
no
accessible
route
into
that
building
and
then
Additionally
the
bathrooms
were
built
too
small
and
the
properties
overall,
and
so
last
August.
F
There
was
a
settlement
valued
at
several
million
dollars
for
the
retrofits
that
are
now
taking
place
where
all
of
these
properties
across
multiple
States
went
through
several
reviews
by
municipalities
in
assessing
their
compliance,
and
it
may
or
may
not
have
included
their
different
safe
harbors.
Their
different
components
for
health.
Disability
accessibility
is
reviewed
by
municipalities
and
none
of
the
matters
regarding
fair
housing
were
identified
and
all
of
the
properties
were
built
in
such
a
manner
as
to
necessitate
millions
of
dollars
in
retrofit.
F
F
Any
other
thoughts
on
that
with
synchronizing
harmonizing
or
dare
I,
say
the
word
Synergy
on
looking
at
how
the
laws
apply.
F
All
right
and
the
last
question
I
want
to
raise
if
anyone
has
any
experience
or
has
seen
what
is
the
cool
accessibility
features
that
have
been
created.
This
is
2023..
Pittsburgh
is
a
technology
Hub.
We
have
moved
past
wide
indoors
and
roll
and
showers
which
are
critical.
But
what
are
the
other
more
Innovative
options
that
have
been
created?
F
There
are
a
number
of
fascinating
inventions
and
features
that
are
cost
effective,
not
expensive,
different
ways
to
look
at
pull
down,
cabinets
or
cabinets
that
collapse
and
are
accessible
from
a
wheelchair
height
and
other
concepts
of
what
has
modern
technology
done
for
us,
and
how
can
we
apply
that
into
affordable
housing
for
disability,
accessibility,
any
thoughts
or
experiences
with
that.
G
Advanced,
automation,
technology,
it's
very
fairly
simple
for
things
that
you
can
literally
put
a
tag
on
things
like
light
switches
and
different
products,
and
you
can
turn
them
on
off
and
on
using
your
your
phone,
so
I
think
a
lot
of
Automation
and
AI
can
be
helpful,
particularly
for
example,
someone
who
is
vision,
impaired,
Amazon
Alexa,
for
as
a
just
a
blanket
example.
You
can
ask
it
to
do
things
for
you.
G
Call
this
person.
Look
up
this
item
of
information
so
having
that
just
using
these
pre-existing
Technologies
to
automate
as
many
things
as
possible,
so
instead
of
the
actual
user
having
to
physically
do
them.
There
is
AI
to
support
that,
and
it
comes
in
handy,
particularly
in
a
safety
situation
where
you
can.
Even
now.
If
anyone
has
Amazon
Alexa
can
program
it
to
call
9-1-1
call
a
loved
one,
you
know
take
you
know:
do
a
grocery
list
buy
things
for
you
that
you
need
to
do
so.
G
You
think
they're
very
low
cost
measures
using
automation
using
AI,
using
technology
to
help
with
just
activities
of
daily
living,
which
are
typically
what
are
used
to
determine
if
someone
needs
a
reasonable
accommodation
that
how
impactful
that
is
so
there's
that's
a
I
would
say
a
low
cost
and
very
accessible
in
the
market
tool
that
we
could
be.
You
know
exploring.
A
And
for
folks
you
might
not
be
accessibility.
Product
Geeks
I
have
had
the
luxury
over
the
last
six
months
to
participate
in
some
vendor
trainings,
and
some
of
the
new
things
on
the
market
are
really
very
cool.
A
So
at
such
time
when
different
people
are
moving
in,
you
can
actually
do
different
bar
installations
to
meet
their
height,
their
weight,
their
particular
need,
and
again
that's
something-
that's
embedded
in
a
physical
structure
that
is
going
to
be
there
forever
and
be
able
to
accommodate
these
products.
So
you
actually
can
do
accessibility
modification
after
modification
after
modification
at
a
very
different
cost
than
you
would
have
to
do
if
you
were
doing
that
from
scratch
renovation.
So
there
are
some.
F
No
absolutely
Adrian
and
I've
I'm
a
geek
of
Technology
of
all
different
types
and
there's
also
interesting
things
being
done
with
doors,
so
there's
long
term
been,
you
could
have
a
keypad
in
order
to
enter
a
door
instead
of
having
to
use
a
manual
key,
a
different
key
fob
structures
for
all
the
different
issues
that
come
with
using
a
doorknob
or
with
some
with
operating
a
manual
door
with
a
relatively
low
cost
way
to
look
at
how
someone
uses
and
interacts
with
the
door
in
order
to
get
in
and
out
of
their
unit.
F
So
again,
I'm
always
if
anyone
has
any
links,
they
want
to
share
a
concept.
The
only
thing
I
ask
is
that
we're
not
looking
at
gloves
that
do
sign
language.
They
don't
work.
The
technology
is
not
there
yet,
and
we
will
it's
just
we'll
wait
on
that.
One,
but
I'd
love
to
see,
looks
at
what
you're
looking
at
with
the
sex
base,
so
I
will
be
dovetail.
I
apologize
for
I
appreciate
everyone's
immense
time
today
and
considerations
and
discussions.
F
We
will
compile
that
into
a
draft
letter
and
again,
please
please,
please
follow
up
with
any
thoughts.
You're
having
any
thoughts
you
want
to
get
out
and
have
consider,
and
we
will
compile
a
draft
together
for
a
presentation,
a
comment
to
be
posted
to
the
federal
registrar,
showing
a
Pittsburgh
commitment
to
addressing
disability,
accessibility
and
housing
in
2023..
Thank
you
all.
A
Thanks
Megan
and
thanks
to
the
group
and
we're
hoping
in
this
new
year,
we
really
have
the
opportunity
for
I
mean
I,
guess
it's
not
so
new,
now
or
about
halfway
through
the
year,
but
really
again
thinking
about
ways
that
we
can
intersect
with
the
larger
dialogue
about
affordable
housing
is
important
and
all
of
the
prongs
of
affordable
housing
and
fair
housing.
So
please,
you
know
to
the
group
continue
to
raise
opportunities
for
us
to
discuss,
engage
dive,
a
little
deeper.
A
You
know
just
think
about
what
we're
doing
related
to
housing
through
a
different
lens.
So
thank
you,
Megan
and
I
know
we
have.
A
We
have
a
lot
of
things
to
talk
about
today,
so
our
minds
are
going
to
be
spinning
by
the
end,
but
please
reach
out
with
comments
after
any
follow-up
that
you'd
like
to
do
we're
going
to
move
into
talking
with
Natalie
Ryan,
to
talk
about
the
housing
stabilization
program,
which
is
one
of
those
resources
that
folks
are
using
to
take
a
rental
assistance
mechanism
into
the
community
to
be
able
to
pay
back
rent
forward
rent-
and
you
know
again
thinking
about
how
these
rental
assistance
types
can
also
fit
into
the
portfolio
of
our
affordable
housing.
J
Thanks
Adrian
and
thanks
for
having
me
hi
everybody,
my
name
is
Natalie
Ryan
I
am
the
housing
assistance
program
manager
at
action,
housing
I'm,
overseeing
what
Allegheny
county
is
calling
the
ask
program
since
we
love
our
acronyms
that
stands
for
the
Allegheny
housing
stabilization
collaborative.
J
This
was
born
out
of
Partnerships
that
were
forged
during
covid-19
with
the
emergency
rental
assistance
program.
So,
as
many
of
you
may
know,
the
emergency
rental
assistance
program
was
money
from
the
office
of
the
treasury
in
Allegheny
County.
Here
we
served
almost
30
000
households
with
150
million
dollars
of
rental
assistance
and
what
we
learned
at
the
end
of
erap,
which
ended
July
31st
of
2022,
is
that
obviously
that
did
not
solve
the
eviction
crisis.
It
did
not
provide
all
that
everybody
needed
to
remain
stable
in
their
housing.
J
So
what
we
did
was
put
together
a
plan
to
try
and
utilize
the
funding
that
Allegheny
County
and
the
City
of
Pittsburgh
have
to
use
those
resources
in
the
best
way
possible.
J
So
the
result
of
this
proposal
was
putting
together
all
of
those
Partners
to
utilize
the
infrastructure
that
we
had
for
e-wrap
and
take
different
sources
of
money
that
Allegheny
County
has
historically
had
housing.
Stabilization
program
is
one
of
those
funds,
as
well
as
housing,
assistance
program
dollars,
family
rental
assistance
program
dollars.
There's
another
fund
called
hello
baby
that
we
get
referrals
from
the
from
Healthy
Start,
as
well
as
family
eviction,
prevention,
money,
which
is
some
office
of
Treasury
money
for
rental
assistance
as
well.
J
So
one
of
the
things
that
had
to
happen
in
Allegheny
County
was
we
had
to
adapt
our
our
data
infrastructure
to
be
able
to
assist
folks
with
their
growing
needs.
So
e-wrap
and
family
eviction
prevention
money
had
limits
of
15
months
of
assistance,
ten
thousand
dollars
and
when
folks
reach
those
limits
there,
they
were
almost
out
of
options.
J
So,
in
working
with
folks,
we
have
built
trust
with
people
in
the
community
who
have
come
back
to
us
who
may
have
received
e-wrap
or
family
eviction
prevention
program
money.
Previously,
we've
built
relationships
with
landlords
because
they
may
have
they
have
many
of
them
have
received
funding
from
us
in
the
past
and
are
comfortable
with
the
speed
with
which
we're
able
to
pay
them,
and
we
can
direct
deposit
money
into
their
account.
We
can
mail
them
a
check
if
they'd
prefer,
but
generally
speaking,
historically
rental
assistance.
J
Money
was
not
dispersed
as
quickly
as
some
landlords
may
have
preferred.
So
we
worked
really
hard
to
put
together
a
process
and
a
team
that
could
get
applications
through
the
system
quickly,
as
the
data
system
was
adapted
to
allow
us
to
pay
all
these
funding
sources.
At
the
same
time,
that
happened
at
the
end
of
April.
J
I
am
pleased
to
report
that,
since
the
end
of
April,
when
we
started
doing
that,
we've
been
able
to
disburse
144
000
of
housing,
stabilization
program
money
and
that
served
42
households
in
City
of
Pittsburgh,
the
average
assistance
amount
was
about
four
thousand
dollars,
and
many
of
many
of
those
allocations
were
put
together
with
other
funding
sources
to
be
able
to
pay
off
large
balances
of
rent
and
allow
folks
to
remain
in
their
housing.
J
We're
able
to
pay
around
170
applications
a
week
we
are
able
to.
J
For
folks
who
may
be
eligible.
One
other
thing
to
note
is
that
the
housing
stabilization
program
money
is
unique
in
our
program,
as
it
is
the
one
funding
source
that
allows
folks
to
come
to
us
with
a
notice
to
quit
notice
to
quit
being
the
10
30,
sometimes
15-day
notice
before
an
eviction
filing
occurs.
As
you
know,
once
an
eviction
filing
occurs
that
can
really
do
harm
to
attendance
history
of
renting
it
can
affect
their
ability
to
get
rentals
moving
down
the
line.
J
We
also
have
a
walk-in
space
in
downtown
Pittsburgh,
which
is
at
415
7th
Avenue.
It's
a
storefront.
It
is
right
next
to
a
Subway,
it
comes
with
free
smells
that
you
can
smell
all
day
long.
It
is
open
from
9
30
to
4
30
Monday
through
Friday.
We
also
get
referrals
directly
from
the
courts
at
the
housing
court.
Help
desk
folks,
who
may
come
downtown
to
court
with
their
landlords
they
sometimes
are
able
to
walk
over
together,
provide
us
with
a
judgment
and
we're
able
to
at
times.
J
If
we
have
everything
we
need
pay
on
the
spot,
so
we're
really
excited
with
how
the
collaborative
is
working,
we're
working
every
day
to
improve
our
relationships
in
the
community
to
get
the
word
out
that
this
assistance
is
out
there
and
yeah
I.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
this
with
you
and
I.
Look
forward
to
having
even
more
statistics
at
your
next
meeting.
A
J
F
J
I
will
also
note,
there's
one
other
thing
that
they're
working
on,
which
is
getting
our
our
Data
Tracking
up
and
running
for
each
program
specifically,
so
that's
something
that
I
believe
they're
looking
to
put
on
a
dashboard
that
is
public,
so
I
will
certainly
keep
everybody
apprised
if
that
happens
so
that
you
can
actually
view
it
in
real
time.
As
it
happens,
wonderful.
A
When
I
feel
confident,
if
the
group
you
know
at
a
later
time,
individual
members
have
questions
for
Natalie
I
feel
confident
that
she
would
be
happy
to
field
those.
Absolutely
if
there's
nothing,
that's
really
burning
or
pressing
right
now.
You
know
those
ideas
can
keep
coming
forward
and
questions
in
a
future
dialogue
with
Natalie.
A
K
Thank
you,
Adrian
hi
everyone.
My
name
is
Nicholas
person
I'm
a
lending
analyst
in
the
residential
learning
Department
of
the
Ura
and
today
I'm,
requesting
from
the
board
authorization
to
enter
into
a
rental
gap
program
loan
agreement
with
a
borrower,
Bedford
dwellings,
phase
1B
in
the
amount
of
one
million
dollars
to
be
used
towards
the
new
construction
of
Bedford
dwellings
phase,
one.
K
The
first
development
phase
in
the
Bedford
Choice
neighborhoods
initiative
in
the
Hill
district,
the
site
of
development
is
currently
vacant
land
and
lies
at
the
intersections
of
Reed
Miller
Robertson
heldman
street
in
the
Crawford
Roberts
neighborhood
between
Center,
Avenue
and
5th
Avenue.
The
borrower
is
a
single
purpose
entity
formed
by
the
housing
authority
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
track
development
Incorporated.
K
K
53
of
these
units
will
hold
project-based
vouchers
and
will
serve
as
one
for
one
replacement
housing
for
residents
living
in
the
Summers
Drive
units
of
the
current
Bedford
dwellings.
This
reflects
one
of
the
overarching
goals
of
the
Bedford
Choice
neighborhoods
initiative,
which
is
to
provide
one
for
one
replacement
housing
for
all
current
residents
of
Bedford
dwellings.
K
The
development
team
will
be
utilizing
multiple
different
funding
sources
for
phase
one,
including
four
percent:
low
income,
housing,
tax
credits,
allies
and
loss
management
and
Development
Corporation
dollars,
as
well
as
Pennsylvania
Housing
Finance
Agency
Scholars.
The
funds
will
be
used
to
construct
a
six-story
43
unit
apartment
building
for
seniors
55
and
over
and
the
construction
of
six
town
houses
along
read
and
health
Ministry
respectively.
K
The
total
development
cost
for
phase
1B
is
27
million
851
888
dollars.
The
developers
approached
the
Ura
requesting
additional
Gap
financing
to
the
rental
gap
program
for
both
phase
1B
and
phase
1A.
As
context
of
the
board
phase.
1A
is
the
other
portion
of
Bedford
College
phase
one
and
it
will
be
funded
with
nine
percent
low
income,
housing
tax
credits
and
involve
the
additional
construction
of
a
four-story
30-year
Department
building
along
Reed
Street
and
12
Town
Homes
along
Miller
Street.
K
K
The
development
team
is
aiming
for
a
closing
for
bet
performance
phase,
one
at
the
end
of
the
summer,
with
construction
to
be
completed
by
the
summer
of
2025.,
and
that
is
my
presentation.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
your
time.
I
have
myself
as
well
as
I,
believe
Addie
Cullen,
John
and
Yoki
and
Bill
Gaddy
of
truck
development.
To
help
in
answering
any
questions
you
guys
have.
A
D
Nope
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
everybody
for
your
support.
I
know
what
this
Choice
effort,
we've
We've
contacted.
A
lot
of.
You
have
been
working
a
lot
really
hard
with
it.
We
look
forward
to
ongoing
projects
to
help
support
this
Choice
initiative
in
the
Hill
district.
E
A
H
L
L
The
verbiage
at
the
bullet
point
correct,
perfect
I
motion
to
authorize
to
enter
into
a
rental
gap
program,
one
agreement
with
the
borrower,
Bedford
dwellings,
phase,
one
B
LLC
or
a
related
entity
in
an
amount
not
to
exceed
one
million
dollars
for
the
new
construction
of
Bedford
dwellings,
phase,
1B
and
congratulations.
This
looks
like
a
great
project.
C
A
I
Yes,
thank
you
Adrian
yeah,
so,
following
up
on
last
month,
where
we
tabled
the
discussion
on
the
for
sale,
development
program
amendments
bringing
it
back
to
the
board's
attention
this
month,
I'm
happy
to
run
through
some
of
these
changes
again
at
a
high
level
that
we're
looking
to
make
to
the
for
sale
development
program
and
can
go
in
depth
on
any
of
them
as
well.
I
If,
if
asked
about
but
I,
do
want
to
note
that
a
marked
up
version
of
the
program
guidelines
that
included
these
changes
was
sent
out
last
week
for
those
that
might
have
had
some
questions
about
how
these
these
types
of
changes
would
be
structured
in
the
actual
documentation
for
the
program.
So
the
changes
that
we're
looking
to
address
with
with
these
amendments
are
to
actually
allow
for
conservatorship
explicitly.
I
The
guidelines
re
previously
were
silent
on
it
and
so
be
able
to
clear
that
up
with
prospective
applicants
is,
is
one
benefit
that
these
amendments
will
bring
creating
more
guidance
around
the
use
of
limited
equity
cooperatives
and
allowing
them
to
participate.
I
This
has
been
another
part
of
the
for
sale,
housing
ecosystem
that
that
largely
remains
underserved,
and
so
the
ability
to
help
either
preserve
limited
Equity,
co-ops
or
help
groups
of
existing
tenants
organized
to
become
a
limited
Equity
Cooperative.
To
then
provide
shares
to
those
those
tenants
as
they
move
it
into
that.
Lec
format
would
be
another
change
considered
in
these
amendments.
I
A
period
of
eligible
costs
spanning
one
year
prior
to
an
application
has
been
made
to
the
Ura,
and
this
is
to
help
just
ensure
that
the
Ura
inspection
staff
is
is
able
to
be
in
the
loop
about
the
scope
of
work
going
on
at
these
properties
and
that
what
we're
really
funding
here
is
either
acquisition,
rehab
or
new
construction
and
not
necessarily
any
type
of
speculative
activity,
whereas
the
Ura
does
have
programs
that,
should
non-profit
development
entity
purchase
a
home
and
say
rent
it
for
several
years
and
then
try
to
a
few
years
down
the
line,
sell
the
home
having
not
anticipated
it.
I
It
eventually
would
be
a
for
sale
opportunity
that
would
be
covered
by
some
of
our
deferred
buyer
financing
that
we
have
through
our
own
PGH
program
and
also,
what's
called
the
housing
recovery
program,
run
out
of
the
Ura
that
provides
deferred
second
mortgages
to
to
buyers.
I
I
did
skip
a
bullet
here
that
we
have
a
rent
to
own
model,
also
that
is
now
eligible,
so
this
is
for
for
non-profit
developers
that
are
setting
out
with
the
intention
that
they
will
need
to
rent
the
home
or
want
to
rent
the
home
for
some
amount
of
time
to
a
household.
I
That's
getting
ready
for
home
ownership,
they'll
be
able
to
do
that
through
the
rent
to
own
model,
and
then,
lastly,
and
I
think,
very
importantly,
is
increasing
the
per
unit
subsidy
from
70
000
for
rehabs
to
a
hundred
thousand
and
then
for
new
construction
from
a
hundred
thousand
to
a
hundred
thirty
thousand.
There
was
some
questions
last
month
about
kind
of
how
that
affects
our
production.
I
Our
Pipeline
and
I
think
our
response
to
that
is
that
there
are
a
lot
of
projects
that
do
not
that
have
to
do
additional
fundraising
to
programs
that
either
have
timelines
that
don't
you
know
that
are
semi-annual
or
are
annual,
and
these
projects
would
just
wait
around
for
a
year
and
we
end
up
kind
of
sitting
on
funds
at
times.
I
I,
don't
think
we
have
a
tremendous
backlog
in
this
program,
but
I
know
that
we're
still
spending
our
program
year,
2022
funds
for
the
for
sale,
development
program
and
Meanwhile
we're
halfway
through
2023,
so
I
think
we
could
unlock
some
of
our
pipeline
as
well
and
get
projects
moving
by
allowing
some
more
subsidy
recognizing
that
the
conditions
for
developers
trying
to
do
this
work
has
changed
a
lot
since
these
guidelines
were
first
created
or
last
updated.
Just
with
the
rise
in
in
property.
I
Acquisition
costs
their
cost
during
construction
on
interest
for
construction
loans,
construction
costs
themselves
have
increased
along
with
materials.
So
that
is
the
basis
for
why
we
would
propose
to
allow
for
more
per
unit
subsidy
and
when
we
look
at
other
programs
that
are
often
involved
in
the
for
sale.
Development
space
like
the
federal
home
loan,
Banks,
affordable
housing
program,
I
think
that
what
we're
proposing
here
is
a
bit
more
in
line
with
what
peer
funders
are
also
offering
on
a
per
unit
basis.
I
We
can
obviously,
if,
if
we
have
to
close
the
program
down
because
we've
you
know
committed
everything
and
start
spending
it
at
a
clip
that
outpaces
us
receiving
new
allocations,
I
think
we
can
reassess
this,
but
right
now,
I
think
it
would
be
a
very
good
opportunity
for
our
development
Partners
to
to
be
able
to
move
some
of
their
pipelines
along.
So
I'll
stop
there
but
happy
to
take
any
questions
or
respond
to
comments.
L
Thank
you
Adrian,
so
I'm
really
happy
to
see
The
Limited,
Equity
housing,
co-ops
added
here
I,
really
appreciate
that
I'm
excited
about
their
potential
and
kind
of
bringing
back
this
historic
form.
I.
Think
I
probably
mentioned
previously
that
I've
passed
a
resolution
at
Council
to
help
Council
understand
and
explore
how
we
can
help
Foster
Collective
ownership,
and
if
there
are
any
barriers
we
should
remove
those
barriers
and
I
really
appreciate
the
Ura
has
been
responsive
and
in
engaging
in
that
kind
of
inquiry,
and
so
I'm
also
Curious
I.
I
I
I
believe
in
our
2022
funds
we've
got
around
800
000
remaining
and
then
I
think
the
2023
allocation
had
900
000
for
for
sale
development,
so
we're
looking
at
about
1.7
million
dollars
that
we
currently
have
for
the
for
sale
development
program,
so
I
would
not
every
not
every
unit
will
go
up
to
what
the
program
maximums
are,
but
I
suppose
I
think
a
lot
will
be
close
to
it.
I
I
think
we'd
probably
be
looking
at
between,
like
18
to
20
units
that
between
the
two
years
allocation
that
we
can
probably
bring
to
Market.
L
Sounds
like
a
bargain:
doesn't
it
compared
to
new
construction?
So
this
sounds
like
a
great
idea
and
unfortunately,
I'm
gonna
have
to
leave
the
meeting
I
apologize
and
so
I'm
I'm
gonna
vote
Yes
here
and
on
the
next
one.
If
you'll
do
that,
and
thank
you
for
answering
my
questions,
I
appreciate
it.
L
Does
but
potentially
you
know
if
we
have
these
as
rehabs
I've
been
just
trying
to
repeat
them,
make
this
point
a
lot
that
there
are
multi-units
on
the
market
right
now
that
probably
need
some
rehab,
but
we
could
be
acquiring
them
for
affordable
housing,
and
it
is
because
we've
just
seen
this
crazy
increase
in
construction
costs
right
nearly
doubling
the
cost
of
each
unit
right.
L
A
You
are
there
additional
questions,
clarifications
that
folks
would
need
I.
Think
Mark
is
that
you
raise
in
your
hand,
yes.
B
Hey
I,
just
I'd,
asked
this
question
the
last
time
and
I'm
not
sure
I
I
guess
I
was
assuming
that
there'd
be
some
changes
or
adjustments
in
section
e,
the
eligible
costs
that
you've
added
12
months
prior
sort
of
anything
older
than
that
you
know,
I
I,
know
Community
groups
that
want
to
utilize
this
program
with
vacant
land
that
they've
held
from
previous
projects
that
they
acquired
a
building
and
they
also
had
to
acquire
adjacent
land
or
nearby
land
as
part
of
trying
to
require
the
vacant
properties
and
and
and
turn
them
over.
B
In
a
previous
project,
an
example
is
Bond,
View
Street,
where
they're
they
owner
had
one
existing
building.
That
was
rehabbed.
He
also
owned
a
bunch
of
vacant
land
that
there
had
been
units
demolished
years
ago.
So
the
community
group
wants
to
continue
with
that.
But
what
you're
saying
is
they
can't
treat
that
acquisition
cost
because
they
had
to
pick
up
this
vacant
land
and
couldn't
put
it
into
the
the
previous
phase?
That's
my
concern
and
I
understand
that
you
have
folks
who
might
be
abusing
it,
but
there's
got
to
be
some
way
that
you
can.
B
You
know
the
intention
has
always
been
to
do
affordable
for
sale
on
that
lot
and
there's
other
community
groups
that
have
that
have
similar
situations
and
then
there's
Community
groups
that
put
hand
money
down
with
the
city
still
waiting
on
the
property,
because
we've
got
them.
You
know
we
have
a
troubled
system,
for
you
know
to
recycle
vacant
properties
that
are
taxed
and
like
putting
the
cities
taken
through
a
treasurer's
sale.
So
you
know
those
are
the
concerns.
I
have
I
understand
that
you
know.
B
I
Yeah,
thank
you
for
elaborating
on
that.
I
I
think
that
is
a
an
important
need
for
us
to
address
in
in
those
instances
so
I
think
for
this.
For
the
sake
of
the
guidelines,
we
could.
I
I'm
thinking
we
could
say
something
towards
you
know:
construction
costs
that
were
incurred
over
Beyond
12
months
prior
are
ineligible,
and
then
you
know,
acquisition
and
holding
costs
or
you
know
hand
money.
We
could
I
think
that
probably
falls
into
the
acquisition
bucket
hand.
Money
we
could
say,
is
considered
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
I
I
mean
I,
know
it's
a
bit
arbitrary,
but
it,
as
you
mentioned,
Mark
I
mean
there
are
some
times
where
we're
just
like
that's
just
outside
of
what
the
real
intention
of
this
program's
meant
to
of
what
it's
really
meant
to
serve,
but
I
think.
If
we
would
you
be
comfortable.
If
we
were
to
say
you
know
things
Beyond
a
year
that
are
older
than
a
year
would
be
considered
on
a
case-by-case
basis.
Yeah.
B
Or
if
you
wanted
to
maybe
delete
that
right
now
and
then
come
back
with
more
refined
revision
of
that
section.
If
you
need
more
time
and
I
I
know
it,
you
know
this
is
on
the
spot.
I'm
not
expecting
you
to
have
the
language,
but
does
that
work?
I
agree?
You
need
to
get
the
limits
up
because
Project's
installed
right
now
and
you
probably
have
a
pipeline.
That's
gonna,
you
know
utilize,
you
know
18
units
worth
of
funding
pretty
quickly
and
it's
probably
not
this
probably
isn't
an
issue
for
those
projects.
B
But
you
know
if
we
can
get
this
revamped,
maybe
at
the
next
meeting
we
can
have
language
around
that
particular
section
that
it
enables
the
stuff
that
you
see.
You
know
we
know
that
there's
there's
those
sorts
of
plots
and
buildings
that
are
out
there.
I
I
With
the
yes
I
believe
so
I
mean
if
this,
if
the
overall
guidelines,
like
the
other
changes,
were
to
be
approved,
we
could
have
a
small
item
next
month.
That
is
just
speaking
to
this
fourth
bullet
here
about
the
the
timetable
for
eligible
costs.
I
A
So
if
there's
anything
that's
distributed
ahead
of
time
related
to
this
particular
item,
please
everybody
take
a
look
so
that
we
can
we
want
to
make
great
decisions.
We
want
them
to
be
as
nuanced
as
they
need
to
be,
but
we
also
want
to
be
timely
for
the
sake
of
the
process,
so
Evan
will
be
looking
for
that
from
you.
I
Yes,
but
I'm.
Sorry,
if
I'm
misunderstanding
though,
but
I
is
it
possible,
we
could
take
a
vote
on
the
guidelines.
Otherwise,
and
then
we
would
just
add
that
in
to
a
future
action,
just
because
we
do
have
some
projects
that
you
know,
we
we
don't
want
to
in
the
same
monthly,
to
be
fully
overhauling
the
guidelines
and
taking
projects.
B
B
C
M
All
right,
I
think
the
next
several
items
are
for
me,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
jump
in
for
some
Ura
administrative
updates
good
afternoon.
Everyone,
I'm
Derek,
Kendall,
Morris
manager
of
consumer
lending
within
the
ura's
housing
department.
M
First
announcement
today
is
that
the
homeowner
assistance
program
will
be
reopening
for
applications
on
June
26th.
We
will
be
accepting
applications
this
year
from
June
26th
up
until
August
4th,
at
which
time
we
will
be
closing
the
program
again
in
the
anticipation
that
we
will
be
receiving
vastly
more
applications
than
we'll
be
able
to
approve
within
that
time
period.
If
that's
not
the
case,
we
certainly
will
keep
the
application
open
longer,
but
that
is
the
window
that
we
will
currently
be
operating
under.
M
We
will
not
be
able
to
access
applications
before
June
26th,
In
fairness,
as
we
you
know,
spread
the
word
and
make
sure
that
everybody
across
the
city
knows
that
they
can
apply,
but
we
will
be
accepting
them
on
June,
26th
and
moving
forward
until
August
4th
the
application
is
available
on
the
Ura
website.
You
can
also
contact
contact
us
for
more
information
via
phone
or
at
Hof
ura.org.
The
phone
number
is
412-255.
M
Yeah,
the
phone
number
is
415-412-255-6694
extension
6721,
so
they
can
also
call
us
and
request
an
application
and
we
can
certainly
get
one
out
to
them.
So
that's
our
announcement
for
the
homeowner
assistance
program.
M
M
M
Long
story
short:
they
were
able
to
assist
one
client
with
those
funds
due
to
issues
you
know
Statewide
with
the
HAF
and
sort
of
the
rollout
of
that.
So
they
have
returned
the
rest
of
those
funds
to
the
Ura
to
go
right
back
into
the
Hof's
demonstration
line
item,
which
is
where
those
funds
came
out
of,
so
that
we
did
receive
back
45
480.99
back
into
the
demonstration
fund.
M
So
we
appreciate
action,
housing
coming
to
us
and
letting
us
know
they
weren't
able
to
utilize
those
funds
and
giving
those
back
so
that
we
can
circulate
them
for
other
needs.
So
I
wanted
to
make
sure
everybody
was
aware
of
that
and,
finally,
our
legal
assistance
program.
We
did
have
an
application
for
funding
for
organizations
that
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
that
program
over
the
last
month
and
we
did
receive
you
know,
applications
from
all
the
partners
that
are
currently
active
within
the
program.
M
So
we
do
want
to
review
those
applications
and
get
some
new
contracts
in
place
so
that
that
program
can
continue
to
function.
So
we're
just
looking
for
volunteers
from
The
Advisory
board.
If
anybody
would
like
to
participate
in
reviewing
those
applications
along
with
Brianna
and
myself
from
the
Ora
staff,
we
would
welcome
that
we'd
love
to
have
a
few
members
if
you're
interested
in
doing
so.
Please
reach
out
to
me,
and
let
me
know
that
you'd
like
to
be
a
part
of
that
committee.
M
Now,
if
you
could
reach
out
about
the
legal
assistance
program,
if
you
want
to
be
a
part
of
that
review,
Community,
if
you
can,
let
us
know
by
June
6th.
That
would
be
much
appreciated
because
we
do
want
to
get
this
process
moving
quickly
so
that
we
can
have
contracts
for
our
providers
ready
for
for
July,
so
reach
out.
Let
me
know
and
I
appreciate
your
time.
Thank
you.
A
We
have
this
opportunity
for
volunteering
with
Derek.
We
also
have
lots
of
space
on
our
committees,
so
anybody
who
has
not
chosen
a
committee-
this
is
the
moment.
This
is
the
best
time.
Sometimes
we
don't
get
to
those
emails.
We
forget
we're
all
right
here.
If
there's
committee
that
you
really
want
to
be
participating
in,
please
you
know
anybody
can
shout
out
and
say:
I
I
would
like
to
be
on
this
committee.
A
If
you
haven't
yet,
if
you're
not
ready
to
make
that
commitment
right
now,
you
can
also
you
know,
send
us
some
information
and
get
involved
in
whatever
committee
is.
You
know
really
the
most
enticing
to
you
that
really
feels
like
you're
the
most
connected
and
the
most
interested
in
I
believe
if
I'm
not
incorrect,
none
of
the
Committees
did
meet
this
last
month.
A
A
N
Yeah,
thank
you
Adrian.
My
name
is
Jeff
Burns
I'm
with
the
urban
Redevelopment
Authority,
just
to
give
an
update
on
the
2024
annual
allocation
plan
survey
that
has
been
released
to
the
community.
At
this
point
we
have
about
100
or
no,
not
150.
We
have
about
250
surveys
that
we
received
so
far.
So
we're
very
happy
with
that.
It's
only
been
four
weeks
since
we
launched
the
survey
and
we
still
have
two
more
months
left
of
collection,
so
we're
going
to
continue.
N
You
know
pushing
that
survey
and
we
have
a
series
of
additional
community
events
I'm
going
to
go
through
some
of
those
right
now
again.
If
any
of
you
are
interested
in
joining
us
for
any
of
these
events,
please
just
reach
out
and
let
me
know
you're
welcome
to
join.
N
If
it
will,
let
me
go
to
the
next
page
here
there
we
go
so
we
did
have
two
already.
We
had
wanted
the
Hazelwood
initiative
and
we
had
one
at
the
Bloomfield
Garfield
corporation.
They
both
went
really
well.
There
was
a
lot
of
input.
I
was
at
the
Hazelwood
initiative,
one.
There
was
a
lot
of
input
and
we
collected
a
lot
of
surveys
at
that
time.
All
together,
I
think
we
collected
about
20
to
30.
N
At
that
event,
I
would
have
to
go
back
and
look
at
the
exact
number,
but
I
was
pleased
with
the
turnout
for
that
we
do
have
two
upcoming
at
the
Pittsburgh
Hispanic
Development
Corporation
they're
having
a
consulate
event
over
the
weekend
of
the
10th
and
11th
we're
going
to
be
there
all
day
with
them
for
people
that
come
through
and
go
through
that
process
and
they're
going
to
have
translators
for
anybody
that
would
speak,
Spanish
or
Portuguese
so
that
they
can
work
with
us
and
they
also
are
translating
our
flyer
so
that
they
can
provide
it
to
people.
N
We
already
have
the
survey
in
Spanish,
so
it'll
be
easy
access
for
individuals
that
are
looking
to
do
that.
We
have
31st
Ward
community
meeting
on
the
13th
East
Hills
consensus
group
on
the
15th
Perry
Hilltop
fineview
Citizens
Council
on
the
27th,
and
then
we
have
Carrick
Community
Council,
also
on
the
27th
Pittsburgh
downtown
partnership,
we're
going
to
go
to
the
Market
Square
Farmers
Market
and
table
there.
N
Lawrenceville
United
some
to
be
determined
information
with
that
one,
but
that's
going
to
be
on
July
13th
and
then
Sheridan,
Community,
Council
and
Jasmine
nyree
on
July
15th,
we're
meeting
at
the
Sheridan
Family
Dollar
Pavilion
and
holding
a
joint
event
with
them.
So
we're
excited
about
all
the
events
we
have
much
more
than
we
had
in
the
previous
year.
N
Good
turnout,
the
ones
we've
had
so
far.
So
hopefully
that
continues
and
we
get
a
lot
more
feedback.
N
And
I
guess
I
can
just
continue
on
for
a
matter
of
time,
since
we
have
only
have
a
few
minutes
left
I
will
try
to
go
quickly
through
our
regular
program
expenditures,
so
there
have
just
been
incremental
increases
in
terms
of
you
know
what
has
gone
forward
since
last
month.
I
will
note,
with
the
disbursements
for
HSP
some
of
the
information
that
Natalie
discussed.
We
received
that
today.
N
So
in
terms
of
what
is
available
and
like
committed
here,
it
would
be
50,
000
less
so
we're
about
at
1
million.
What
has
been
committed
at
this
point
then
more.
N
And
I'm
just
gonna
go
through
our
each
program
as
per
usual
by
Ami
level
and
Council
District,
so
for
the
down
payment
and
closing
cost
assistance
program.
These
are
percent
of
funds
by
Council,
district
and
Ami
level
and
as
usual,
if
you
have
any
questions
about
anything
on
here,
just
shout
out.
N
For
the
homeowner
assistance
program,
we
have
present
projects
by
Council
district
and
then
some
of
that
additional
information
about
committed
and
clothes
and
what's
in
the
pipeline,
and
these
numbers
do
fluctuate
a
little
bit
from
month
to
month
as
projects
actually
have
the
amount
determined
of
you
know
how
much
is
going
to
be
for
each
project
which
these
are
medium
for
the
for
sale,
development
and
Rental
gap
program.
There
haven't
been
any
additional
changes
in
terms
of
what
was
on
from
last
month.
N
N
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
everybody.
It
was
great
dialogue
today,
lots
to
take
in.
We
have
lots
of
opportunities
for
tapping
back.
So
if
you
have
any
thoughts
about
Section
504,
you
can
reach
out
to
myself
and
Megan,
and
we
can
make
sure
that
we
get
your
thoughts
incorporated
into
those
notes.
The
Housing
Authority
was
kind
enough
to
send
us
a
lot
of
great
information
from
their
perspective,
so
we'll
be
incorporating
that
we'll
be
circulating.
A
Notes
back
out,
so
folks
can
feel
comfortable
with
anything
we're
going
to
submit
to
HUD
there's
lots
of
opportunities
for
committee
engagement.
If
you
would
like
to
host
a
community
event,
there's
lots
of
time
left
for
the
survey.
So
if
you
have
that
interest,
please
tap
back
to
the
Ura
and
they
can
work
with
you
to
make
that
happen.
A
Yes,
oh
sorry,
I'm,
okay,
okay,
I
did
not
want
to
cut
you
off
Madam
chair.
If
there
are
no
other
items,
do
we
have
a
motion
for
adjournment.
B
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
quick
question
with
volunteers
and
committees:
we
have
the
committee
chairs
and
do
we
have
have
enough
members
signed
up
because
I
I
have
you
know
I
completed
the
survey?
I
just
want
to
be
sure
you
guys
have
that
and
I
didn't
mess
up
on
on.
You
know
inputting
put
a
that's
going
to
try
to
serve
on,
but
then
can
we
get
a
commitment
for
the
committee
chairs
to
actually
get
a
meeting
between
now
and
the
next
board
meeting
or
Advisory
board
meeting.
N
Yeah
I
can
resend
the
list
to
everybody
again.
That
just
has
you
know
who
the
committee
chairs
are
and
the
members
of
each
committee.
There
are
people
that
have
volunteered
for
each
one.
So
there's
at
least
somebody
on
each
of
the
Committees
I
will
note
one
of
the
Committees
we
had
accidentally
put
Alan
as
the
chair
of
that
committee.
So
I
do
apologize
to
Alan.
There
was
a
misinterpretation
at
one
point
in
time,
but
that
one
is
still
looking
for
somebody
to
chair
that
committee.
N
I
did
send
an
email
out
to
the
individuals
in
that
group,
but
if
somebody
from
that
particular
committee
is
willing
to
chair,
please
let
us
know,
but
I
will
send
out
the
list
again,
which
will
also
be
updated
to
not
have
Alan
as
the
chairperson
for
that
committee.
Thank.
C
B
A
N
And
Alan
I'd
be
willing
to.
If
you
want,
I
can
work
with
you
and
we
can
at
least
set
up
the
meeting.
And
then
you
know
whoever
you
guys
choose
at
that
meeting
to
be
the
chair.
Then
we
can.
We
can
put
that
on
there,
but
I
can
I
can
help.
C
Let's
have
a
meeting:
let's
have
the
meeting
of
everybody
who
said
they
want
to
work
on
that
committee
and
we'll
you
know,
make
that
an
agenda
item.
A
A
Well,
we
got
lots
of
hands
there,
so
we
have
our
movement
to
adjourn.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
We
are
really
looking
forward
to
completing
the
survey
process,
getting
these
Community
meetings
under
our
belt
and
hearing
all
the
wonderful
things
from
our
community
members
and
getting
that
level
of
Engagement,
and
we
will
see
you
all
for
the
July
meeting
of
The
Advisory
Board,
but
we
also
anticipate
we'll
see
you
before
then
in
our
committee
groups.
