A
Good
morning,
everyone
and
welcome
to
the
october
meeting
of
the
housing
opportunity
fund
advisory
board,
we're
going
to
get
getting
started
in
just
one.
Second,
we
apologize
for
the
delay.
Unfortunately,
this
month
we
do
not
have
an
asl
interpreter.
However,
the
meeting
is
being
live.
A
Excuse
me
live
transcribed,
so
the
word
should
be
appearing
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen
and
we
do
apologize
for
that,
but
we
did
have
some
cancellations,
so
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
begin
by
calling
roll.
C
A
Okay,
thank
you,
dr
paul
bradley
sonya
tillman.
E
A
And
she
did
say
good
morning
girl
here
so
with
that
we
will
proceed
to
public
comment.
Our.
G
First,
kelly,
just
a
point
of
order:
I'm
counting
that
we
have
15
members
since
the
tenant
is
vacant,
so
eight
would
be
a
quorum.
Would
it
not.
A
So
that
was
my
earlier
question
as
to
whether
or
not
the
quorum
included
that
absencey
or
if
it
was
just
everybody
that
was
currently
on
the
board,
because
I
think
that
eight
should
be
a
quorum
considering
that
that
is
a
vacancy.
Yes,.
A
So
I
believe
we
agreed
on
nine,
but
I
think
it
is
fifty
percent
plus
one,
but
I
think
we
might
have
to
go
back
in
and
make
sure
that
that's
fifty
percent
of
filled
seats
plus
one
versus
available
seats,
so
I
think
we
can
take
a
re-read
of
the
bylaws
and
perhaps
adjust
that
under
administrative
items
going
forward
just
so
that
there's
clarity
on
that,
because
we
did
have
a
delay
to
get
to
the
full
nine
that
may
or
may
not
be
actually
necessary
to
do
moving
forward
so
yeah.
A
We
definitely
should
look
into
look
into
that.
I'm
sorry
before
public
comment
we
have
to
review
and
accept
the
minutes
from
our
september.
Second
meeting
apologies.
I
I'm
excited
that
we
have
so
much.
We
have
a
robust
public
comment
section
today
and
so
I
tried
to
ahead
apologies.
Does
everyone
have
the
opportunity
to
review
our
september
minutes.
H
A
J
Hello
good
morning,
hos
advisory
board
members.
It's
good
to
be
with
you,
even
with
a
bit
of
a
delay,
I'm
aaron
erb,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
just
mediation,
pittsburgh.
We
mediate
between
landlords
and
tenants
to
help
avoid
evictions,
and
I
work
with
the
legal
assistance
program
that
the
hrf
has
set
up
this
year.
J
These
regular
startup
delays
are
mostly
behind
us
and
we
expect
to
more
than
catch
up
in
the
coming
year
to
spend
down
this
money
even
before
receiving
lapt
funding.
For
example,
neighborhood
legal
services
had
been
working
to
expand
its
team
they've
hired
a
number
of
new
staff
members
restructuring
and
reorienting
their
housing
program
to
better
serve
tenants
in
need
and
are
expecting
and
on
track
to
spend
down
their
full
allocation
of
lapt.
Before
the
end
of
the
spending
year,
nls
has
not
had
a
shortage
at
all
of
lapt
referrals.
J
Nearly
all
of
the
tenant
referrals
that
come
in
through
lapt
are
at
30,
ami
and
below,
while
many
of
the
referrals
come
through
lapt,
coordinated
entry.
Nls
likewise,
is
a
well-known
resource
in
the
community,
as
you
know,
particularly
related
to
their
expertise,
developed
through
many
years
of
handling
evictions
in
public
and
subsidized
housing.
J
From
my
end,
at
just
mediation,
pittsburgh
we're
moving
ahead
as
expected
and
expecting
to
spend
down
our
portion
accordingly
of
lapt.
The
only
potential
shortfall
would
be
related
to
our
community
mediator
payments,
where
we
pay
community
members
to
mediate
these
landlord-tenant
disputes.
We
might.
We
might
spend
about
half
of
the
allocated
15
000
that
we
budgeted
for
that.
K
Hello
everyone
good
morning,
my
name
is
magda
gangwar
and
I
work
in
the
rent
help
pittsburgh
help
desk
as
a
resource
navigator.
So
every
day
I'm
one
of
the
people
that
is
on
the
phone
with
city
residents,
who
are
facing
eviction
and
in
desperate
need
of
legal
assistance,
and
I
do
perform
a
great
deal
of
referrals
to
the
legal
assistance
program
which
I
will
refer
to
henceforth
as
lab
t
so
rent
help.
K
Pittsburgh
has
hired
additional
staff
and
is
on
track
to
spend
down
their
portion
of
funding
for
coordinated
entry
likely
ahead
of
schedule
other
than
a
slight
delay
in
invoicing.
The
initial
invoice
reflects
three
months
of
coordinated
entry,
but
no
spending
towards
outreach.
However,
as
I'll
elaborate
on
in
the
future,
lapt
outreach
is
now
up
and
running
smoothly
and
we
expect
to
fully
spend
down
this
portion
of
the
allocation
as
well.
K
So
the
in-person
portion
of
the
outreach
for
the
lapt
program
started
over
three
months
ago.
After
the
program
itself
became
online
in
mid-may,
while
mailers
have
been
going
out
to
every
pittsburgh
resident
tenant
facing
an
eviction
for
whom
we
have
an
address.
It
is
this
in-person
outreach,
planned
and
executed
by
dedicated
staff
that
can
and
already
is
proven,
quite
effective
to
connect
people
with
services
after
rent
help
pittsburgh
conducted
the
hiring
process
trained
and
set
off
our
new
staff
on
their
way.
We
have
seen
a
significant
increase
in
the
referrals
to
the
lab
tea
providers.
K
The
first
full
week
of
dedicated
lab
tea
outreach
was
the
week
of
september
29,
2029
or
2021.
I
apologize.
It
yielded
17
tenant
referrals
for
legal
assistance
and
mediation.
This
is
over
a
two-fold
increase
in
referrals
up
from
an
average
of
eight
per
week,
as
our
processes
continue
to
become
more
efficient
and
expansive
and
our
staff
become
more
experienced.
We
only
expect
this
increase
to
continue.
K
The
outcome
will
be
plenty
of
referrals
for
all
providers
that
are
able
to
serve.
However,
the
limiting
factor
will
likely
be
the
funding
and
resulting
capacity
as
those
are
in
need.
Those
in
need
are
able
to
be
connected
to
the
very
few
provide
to
the
very
providers
who
conducted
assist
them,
so
I'm
going
to
yield
the
rest
of
my
time.
K
I
did
want
to
say
that
you
know
I
am
somebody
who
is
on
the
phone
directly
with
people
in
crisis
every
single
day,
and
this
program
has
proved
invaluable
to
them,
not
just
for
a
limited
legal
consultation,
but
also
it's
been
a
great
help
with
people
filing
appeals.
Unfortunately,
I
do
not
have
the
knowledge
or
bandwidth
provide
legal
assistance,
and
this
program
has
really
been
invaluable.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
work
and
I
will
give
the
rest
of
my
time
up
to.
I
believe,
adam
or
you
know
the
public.
A
And
that
would
be
adam
dabo
for
the
next
public
commentary.
Thank
you.
L
Hi,
my
name
is
adam
debo.
I
am
a
managing
attorney
at
neighborhood
legal
services
in
the
housing
group,
I'm
also
working
as
a
staff
attorney
handling
litigation
cases
personally
as
well.
So
the
third
point
we
wanted
to
tell
sean
was
the
artificially
low
filing
numbers
and
the
drawn
out
eviction
process
that
have
slowed
down
the
timeline
with
that
being
said,
we
do
know
that
there
is
going
to
be
an
expected
kind
of
tsunami
of
the
housing
crisis
ahead
because
of
this
artificial
timeline.
L
So
beyond
the
concerns
that
aaron
and
magda
have
already
addressed
the
another
necessary
need
for
adequate
funding
being
allocated
to
the
lab
program
and
likely
much
more
significant
is
the
eviction
landscape
that
we've
been
operating
in
has
been
artificially
mild.
L
The
potential
for
a
coming
wave
of
evictions
is
really
not
a
matter
of
whether
it
will
happen,
but
when
it
will
happen,
certain
protections
that
have
been
put
in
place
like
the
local
and
federal
moratorium
or
other
similar
protections,
like
the
local
court
order,
have
been
in
place
since
before
the
beginning
of
the
lap
program,
and
these
productions
have
worked,
many
filings
have
been
prevented
or
they've
been
discouraged
and
in
other
cases
the
cases
that
have
been
filed
have
been
delayed
or
resolved
prior
to
any
disposition.
L
But
the
issue
here
is
that
the
effect
on
these
filings
has
served
to
deflate
the
number
of
overall
proceedings
that
would
have
otherwise
been
filed.
They
provide
only
temporary
comfort
to
the
households
that
are
on
the
cusp
of
housing
and
stability,
and
those
households
will
be
vulnerable
as
soon
as
these
protections
are
lifted
or
weakened.
L
L
This
has
really
changed
the
landscape
for
legal
services
and
other
resources,
and
the
same
is
true
for
other
types
of
protections
as
well
like
the
emergency
rental
assistance
program.
This
program
and
the
massive
amounts
of
funding
and
assistance
it
has
provided
to.
The
community
has
unquestionably
averted
some
evictions
that
would
have
otherwise
been
filed
and
allowed
some
tenants
to
remain
in
their
homes
when
they
would
have
likely
been
forced
to
move
by
getting
necessary
funding
to
both
landlords
and
tenants.
L
However,
an
e-wrap
application
alone,
the
emergency
rental
assistance
program,
does
not
protect
the
family
from
eviction
currently
under
judge
clark's
order.
It
does
to
some
extent,
but
unfortunately,
most
of
these
safeguards
are
set
to
expire
after
october,
and
there
is
almost
certainly
nothing
that
will
be
replacing
that,
at
least
on
the
federal
level
likely
on
the
local
and
state
level
as
well.
L
It's
unlikely
this
will
happen
and
as
such,
every
single
family,
with
a
currently
pending
e-rep
application,
which
in
allegheny
county
has
over
11
000
applications,
will
suddenly
become
fully
exposed
to
the
threat
of
eviction.
Basically
overnight
once
november.
First
rolls
around
it's
imperative
that
we
have
as
much
legal
mediation
and
resource
navigation
in
addition
to
legal
assistance
as
possible
and
support
ready
for
them
when
that
time
comes,
and
we
inevitably
face
the
housing
crisis
that
we
will
with
that,
I
will
see
the
rest
of
my
time
as
well.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you
good
morning,
everyone.
I
know
a
good
chunk
of
you,
but
my
name
is
swayne
uber.
I
I'm
an
attorney
with
community
justice
project
and
help
coordinate
amongst
all
of
our
partners.
The
the
wonderful
aptitude
program
that
this
board
was
you
know,
had
the
foresight
to
create
and
fund
last
year,
so
I'll
touch
on
on
the
last
topic.
M
Unfortunately,
the
currently
proposed
annual
allocation
plan
for
2022
would
not
allow
us,
as
the
service
providers,
to
meet
all
of
these
challenges
that
my
colleagues
discussed
head
on.
Approximately
one
million
dollars
was
allocated
to
the
lapt
program
for
a
full
calendar
year.
Last
this
year
in
mid-may
2021.
M
This
funding
was
scheduled
to
run
until
the
following
year,
more
or
less
at
an
average
allocation
of
approximately
nearly
three
thousand
dollars
per
day.
However,
under
the
current
allocation
that
would
be
proposed
for
the
remainder
of
the
2022,
only
I
believe
see
either
two
hundred
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
thousand.
M
What
would
be
it
was
there
to
sustain
this,
the
program
at
the
same
level
from
a
period
of
may
mid-may
when
the
program
began
last
year,
so
20,
and
then
this
year,
2022
until
the
end
of
december
2022,
which
is
a
period
of
230
days.
If
this
allocation
is
held
at
that
amount,
the
daily
funding
would
drop
by
nearly
two
thousand
dollars
to
about
800
or
900
per
day
a
cut
of
nearly
70
percent.
M
Upon
sustaining
such
a
restriction
of
funds,
the
service
providers
would
simply
not
be
able
to
function
at
the
same
capacity.
That's
currently
designed,
and
many
residents
of
pittsburgh
would
be
without
the
support
that
they
need
to
maintain
their
homes
in
their
greatest
hour
that
our
hour
of
greatest
need
in
order
to
continue
funding
at
the
same
level.
I,
what
would
be
necessary
for
services
to
be
maintained
and
not
even
expanded.
M
An
allocation
close
to
just
600
000
would
be
necessary
for
to
allow
all
of
us
to
provide.
You
know
to
our
fellow
pittsburghers
who
are
struggling
to
keep
provide
services
to
our
fellow
pittsburghers
who
are
struggling
to
keep
a
roof
over
their
heads
in
this
still
ongoing
pandemic.
M
So
we
we
sincerely
request
that
you
all,
as
the
housing
opportunity
fund
advisory
board,
reconsider
the
current
proposal
for
the
allocation
to
the
lapt
program
and
continue
funding
at
current
levels,
if
not
expanding
funding,
to
allow
us
to
to
staff
up
even
more
robustly
to
be
prepared
for
the
challenge
that
we
know
lies
ahead.
We
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
all
for
your
vision
in
even
creating
this
program.
M
We
see
every
day
the
dramatic
difference
between
people
who
happen
to
live
on
one
side
of
invisible
barrier,
that
is
the
city
limits
of
pittsburgh
and
the
amount
of
support
and
the
energy
and
funding
that
has
goes
towards
keeping
people
in
their
homes
is,
is,
frankly
incredible
and,
and
it
I
mean
it
breaks
our
heart
every
time
when
we
don't
get
to
refer
people
to
this
program,
because
we
do
work
with
people
outside
of
the
city
and
yeah
without
without
this
program.
M
It's
it's!
It's
it's
rough
going,
so
we
we
ask
that
you
funded
at
the
same
levels,
obviously
prorated
for
the
remainder
of
that
year
and
and
yeah.
We
thank
you
all
for
your
time.
N
Good
morning,
everybody,
I
have
three
points
I
want
to
make
this
morning.
Let
me
introduce
myself
if
anyone's
forgotten
due
to
my
absence
in
recent
months
is
my
name:
is
megan
confer
hammond?
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
fair
housing
partnership.
N
As
we
talk
about
housing,
I
want
to
make
sure
everyone
is
aware
that
hud
announced
yesterday
that
hud
will
be
issuing
a
guidance
or
rule
on
federally
subsidized
housing
and
the
prohibition
of
evicting
tenants
in
coming
months,
based
on
owed
rent
and
so
for
the
hof
to
be
particularly
mindful
of
its
partners
and
working
on
what
its
partnered
policies
are
regarding
the
eviction
due
to
non-payment
of
rent
during
coven
19..
N
Additionally,
I
want
to
raise
a
good
fact
is
that
fhp
prevailed
in
the
past
month
in
federal
litigation
regarding
the
protections
of
survivors
of
domestic
violence
within
the
fair
housing
act,
you
may
understand
the
difference
in
making
a
treatment
and
impact
argument,
and
we
prevailed
on
the
motion
to
dismiss
by
a
judge
appointed
by
the
previous
federal
administration
that
the
victim,
the
survivor,
had
stand
in,
to
be
able
to
be
released
from
her
leaf
without
penalty
to
flee
her
unit,
because
her
abuser
was
stalking
her
at
the
unit,
so
you'll
be
hearing
more
information
from
us
as
we
are
working
to
both
raise
awareness
about
the
federal
act,
protection
for
survivors
as
well
as
the
city.
N
The
city
has
a
specific
protection
for
survivors
of
domestic
violence
and
colvin
19,
unfortunately,
has
increased
the
need
for
survivor
resources
because
of
isolating
survivors
within
their
abusive
homes
and
the
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
resources
to
help
survivors
flee,
and
then
I
also
want
to
raise
a
frustration.
N
N
What
is
the
fair
housing
conversation
being
had
is
that
you
know
my
position
is
that
I
want
to
be
a
resource
and
to
help
and
to
put
effort
to
create
a
tangible
outcome
of
creating
what
is
effectively
a
fair
housing
impact
statement
that
proposals
of
housing
development
can
provide
to
the
hof
as
a
means
of
understanding
what
it
is
that
we're
building
and
developing
in
order
to
have
an
equity
lens
involved.
N
I
will
raise
for
everyone's
awareness,
is
that
you
may
have
seen
the
pittsburgh
post
gazette.
Look
at
the
pittsburgh
housing
authority,
disrepair
of
the
hacp
owned
properties,
and
I
will
tell
you-
and
this
is
not
an
attack,
but
a
use
of
data
is
to
understand
that
irregardless
of
the
massive
complexities
that
go
into
the
decision
making
over
decades
that
has
led
to
the
disrepair
of
those
properties
is
that
the
data
is
clear.
N
Is
that
the
disrepair
of
the
housing
authority's
properties
in
the
city's
limits
is
disproportionately
hurting
black
families
and
our
access
and
ability
to
provide
black
families
and
families
of
color,
safe
and
affordable
housing
is
a
fair
housing
problem,
and
so
I
I
say
this
because
I
have
a
lot
to
work
on
to
collaborate
with
information
to
build
on,
but
I
need
I,
I
can't
go
chasing
after
begging
to
be
involved,
and
so
I
simply
ask
is
that
I
am
interested
to
do
tangible
efforts
in
order
to
help
us
all
better
understand
what
our
existing
inequities
are
in
order
to
address
them
with
future
decisions,
and
I
simply
ask
to
have
meetings
and
discussions
outside
of
this
public-facing
monthly
meeting.
N
O
Sorry,
I'm
here
struggling
with
my
technology.
My
name
is
christina
howell,
I'm
executive
director
of
bluefield
development
corporation,
I'm
here
today.
I
I
don't
have
the
intense
expertise
that
a
lot
of
the
speakers
have,
but
I'm
here
today
to
talk
about
the
experience
in
bloomfield
that
I
and
my
co-workers
have
witnessed.
Over
the
last
18
months.
O
We
have
had
63
percent
of
our
neighborhood
rent
their
homes.
Many
of
them
are
long-time
renters
and
we
are
seeing
that
the
current
situation
of
the
pandemic
has
really
ramped
up
evictions
landlords
trying
to
evict-
and
we
know
it's
only
getting
worse
in
our
neighborhood
and
projected
to
get
much
worse
at
some
point
soon.
O
O
Due
to
rent
help,
pgh
forming
and
working
with
communities
in
the
city,
we
have
been
able
to
train
one
of
my
co-workers
into
doing
intake
in
our
neighborhood,
and
we
are
finding
that
the
outreach
that
rent
help
has
done,
and
others
have
done
here
on.
This
call
has
been
increasing
the
number
of
people
that
have
come
to
us.
O
Should
this
funding
be
dropped
down
that
consistency
that
help
that
has
been
so
valuable
to
us
and
in
knowing
that
our
residents
are
being
helped
through
these
intense
processes
that
can
be
like
another
full-time
job
for
them
to
navigate
as
well
as
the
residents
just
having
someone
there
to
lean
on
like
magda
who
spoke
earlier,
is
really
really
important.
A
Great-
and
we
have
one
more
public
comment
that
I'm
going
to
read
into
the
record,
because
he
was
unable
to
be
present
today
and
it's
from
david
brennigan
from
the
executive
director
of
lawrenceville
united
good
morning,
I'm
unable
to
testify
this
morning,
but
wanted
to
submit
some
comments
for
the
consideration
of
the
housing
opportunity,
fund
staff,
the
board,
the
advisory
board
and
the
ura
board
relation
to
the
hof
budget
for
2021-22
on
behalf
of
lawrenceville
united
lawrenceville
united
is
an
inclusive
resident,
driven
non-profit
dedicated
to
improving
and
protecting
quality
of
life
for
all
of
lawrenceville's
residents.
A
Excuse
me
first,
I
want
to
emphasize
how
important
the
housing
opportunity
fund
is
to
people
in
our
community.
Lawrenceville
united
has
supported
dozens
of
residents
to
access
housing,
opportunity,
fund
programs,
and
these
have
been
absolutely
critical
to
helping
our
residents
access,
affordable
and
safe
housing,
stay
in
their
homes
and
address
building
code
violations,
accessibility,
barriers
and
other
necessary
home
repairs.
A
In
particular,
we
have
seen
high
demand
for
the
homeowners
assistance
program
hack,
and
we
know
that
there
will
continue
to
be
strong
need
for
the
housing
stabilization
program
funds.
We
also
see
strong
demand
for
the
legal
assistance
program
and
believe
that
the
2022-23
funding
should
be
increased
to
1
million.
A
A
Next,
we'll
have
a
presentation
from
the
city
of
bridges,
community,
land
trust.
This
is
part
of
the
changes
that
we're
making
to
our
format
that
we
discussed
at
our
last
meeting
with
the
client
story
to
kind
of
get
a
better
idea
of
how
funds
are
being
spent
and
what
the
experience
is
on
the
other
side
of
our
programs
and
today
we're
going
to
start
with
city
bridges,
so
ed
nesser,
you
are
up
now
you're
up.
First.
P
Thanks
kelly
yeah,
I'm
ed,
I'm
lucky
enough
to
be
the
executive
director
at
city
of
bridges,
community
land
trust
so,
and
thank
you
to
shaina
and
athena
for
reaching
out
and
ask
inviting
us
to
share
a
little
bit
about
our
experience
with
our
recently
funded
hof
or
hof
funded
project
that
just
wrapped
up
last
year
and
so
yeah.
I
thought
I'd
be
getting
just
a
little
bit
of
background
about
city
of
bridges.
P
So
we
are
a
non-profit
regional
community
land
trust
that
serves
the
city
of
pittsburgh
and
allegheny
county.
We
began
operating
in
the
spring
of
2019
and
we
grew
out
of
and
were
spun
out
of,
the
lawrenceville
corporation's
land
trust
program.
But
we
are
now
an
independent
non-profit
organization
and
you
can
skip
the
next
slide.
P
Really
quickly,
because
I
do
like
to
always
include
this
when
I
talk
about
why
the
work
of
community
land
trust
is
so
important
and
sort
of
what
the
hof
is
investing
in
when
they
support
the
creation
of
permanently
affordable
homes.
So
across
the
country
90
of
clt
homeowners
stay
in
their
homes
for
at
least
five
years
historically
and
again
across
the
country.
The
national
average
is
that
clt
owners
stay
in
their
homes
longer
than
market
rate
owners,
so
in
sort
of
the
quest
to
both
stabilize
individuals
and
stabilize
communities.
P
Land
trusts
have
proven
to
be
a
really
powerful
tool
to
state
to
create
longer
tenure
for
low-income
homeowners
in
their
homes,
and
then,
lastly,
and
I
think,
most
importantly,
for
the
work
of
addressing
systemic
injustice
and
economic
injustice
and
writing.
Frankly,
the
last
400
years
of
wrongs
of
things
that
have
been
put
in
place
in
the
real
estate
and
lending
world
over
70
percent
of
low-income
clt
homeowners
when
they
sell
their
clt
home,
move
on
to
access
unrestricted
market
rate
home
ownership.
P
You
know
we
know
that
there's
a
2005
study
from
the
washington
from
washington
university
that
showed
that
from
the
70s
to
the
90s,
almost
half
of
low-income
bi-pac
households
that
were
first-time
home
buyers
lost
their
home
within
five
years,
and
so,
when
you
look
at
clt
ownership
that
produces
90
of
owners
staying
in
their
home
for
more
than
five
years.
That's
a
counter
to
that
challenge
that
we
see
and
then
similarly
you
know
on
the
leverage
to
access
market
rate
ownership.
P
There's
a
2006
hud
study
that
showed
that
for
low
and
moderate
income
homeowners,
the
benefits
of
wealth
creation
of
property
ownership
were
tied
to
how
long
they
stayed
in
their
home
and
not
to
sort
of
rapid
market
speculation
or
rapid
market
appreciation
and
so
again
the
longer
that
you're
able
to
invest
in
keeping
homeowners
secure
in
their
homes
for
low
and
moderate
income
homeowners
and
for
homeowners
of
color
the
longer
they're
in
their
home,
the
more
wealth
they're
going
to
create
and
the
more
stability
they're
going
to
enjoy.
P
P
Our
board
is
set
up
in
sort
of
the
classic
community
land
trust
model
that
reserves.
A
third
of
our
seats
for
folks
that
live
in
our
homes
reserves.
A
third
of
our
seats
for
community
representatives
from
from
the
13
neighborhoods
that
we
currently
serve,
and
then
the
final
third
is
reserved
for
what
we
call
our
practitioner
class.
Folks
that
bring
a
professional
or
lived
experience
to
the
board
that
help
us
fulfill
our
mission
and
with
that
I'll
go
into
the
project
thanks.
P
So
the
hof
funded
a
six
unit,
rehab
project
that
was
scattered
sites
and
lower
in
central
lawrenceville.
It
produced
five
two-bedroom
homes.
One
three-bedroom
home
began
in
october
of
19,
which
was
a
different
world
fun
to
navigate
construction,
pauses
and
starts
and
pauses
and
starts
in
the
midst
of
the
spring
of
2020.
P
Also
in
2020
we
managed
our
first
two
resales
of
city
of
bridges,
homes
in
our
portfolio,
so
we
had
eight
home
sales
of
properties
that
were
in
lawrenceville
and
then
we
also
closed
on
our
first
buyer
initiated
grant
program,
which
is
our
down
payment
and
closing
cost
assistance.
Current
provides
up
to
35
000
in
down
payment,
closing
costs
or
funds
for
repairs
and
updates
for
first-time
low-income
homeowners
that
are
shopping
on
on
the
market.
Next
slide.
P
So
of
that
six
unit,
development
that
was
funded
through
the
hof,
the
properties
came
to
us
through
various
channels.
Two
from
long-time
property
owners
who
had
been
in
the
neighborhood
for
decades
and
wanted
to
move
on,
they
sold
their
home
to
us
rather
than
listing
it
on
the
market.
P
Two
homes
came
to
us
from
a
community-minded
landlord
who
was
in
the
process
of
retiring
and
sold
his
two
vacant
houses
to
us
for
for
renovation
and
sale,
one
came
to
us
from
the
property
reserve
and
one
was
actually
donated
to
us
by
children's
hospital.
It
was
a
property
that
they
had
acquired
a
kind
of
random
standalone
row
house
that
they
had
acquired
and
they
donated
it
to
us
for
it
to
be
in
our
portfolio.
P
The
range
of
work
really
varied.
There
were
three
gut
rehabs
three
moderate
renovations
that
had
to
happen.
Obviously,
the
property
reserve
property
was
one
of
those
gut
rehabs.
Just
given
sort
of
the
length
of
time
the
property
reserve
process
can
take,
all
of
our
homes
were
built
to
an
energy
star
standard.
So
all
energy,
star
appliances,
all
paints,
sort
of
a
matter
of
practice
for
city
of
bridges.
P
P
Again
it
lasts
longer,
it's
it's
healthier
to
produce,
and
then
finally,
the
the
six
homes
were
priced.
The
two
bedrooms
sold
for
127.5
the
three
bedrooms
sold
for
143.5
next
slide-
and
here
are
just
some
before
and
after
shots,
which
I
I
really
miss
the
steelers
yellow
in
in
plum
way.
We
couldn't
couldn't
keep
that
one,
but
so
this
is
a
before
and
after
plum
way.
This
is
a
two-bedroom
home
that
was
sold
to
a
couple,
first-time
home
buyers
next
slide,
and
then
this
is
474
and
476.
P
44Th
street
474
was
sold
to
us
by
a
long
time.
Owner
476
was
the
property
owned
by
children's
hospital,
so
this
is
directly
across
from
the
hospital.
If
you're
aware
of
sort
of
the
intersection
of
44th
and
penn
avenue,
you
can
see,
we
restored
the
facades
brought
back
the
historic
window.
Openings
on
474.
P
also
rebuilt
the
roofs
and
dormers
of
both
of
both
houses
next
slide,
and
then
this
is
our
property
reserve
property.
So
this
is
184
34th
street,
as
you
can
see
again
restored
the
first
floor
window
openings
and
the
original
door
openings
to
full
height
rebuilt
the
entire
roof
structure.
The
back
half
of
the
roof
had
collapsed,
so
the
front
half.
We
remain
sort
of
the
historic
pattern
with
that
single
window
dormer
the
back.
P
We
actually
brought
the
roof
up
to
create
a
full
height
living
space,
an
additional
bedroom
in
the
house
which
this
is
a
12
foot
wide
row
house.
So
the
ability
to
create
real
living
space
on
the
third
floor
was
really
important
for,
for
our
end
buyer
there
and
the
person
who
bought
this
house
is
actually
is
a
first
generation
immigrant.
P
He
him
and
his
parents
came
to
america
when
he
was
a
child
as
as
asylum
seekers,
and
so
now
he
is
he's
a
homeowner
on
34th
street
next
slide.
P
We
also
have
a
partnership
with
monmade,
which
is
a
program
at
bridgeway
capital,
where
we
source
local
makers
and
artisans
to
bring
sort
of
local
economic
benefit
to
our
real
estate
development
projects,
and
so
these
are
some
examples
of
things
that
were
made
by
makers
in
the
manmade
program.
So
the
shelving
in
the
upper
left
corner
there
was
done
by
a
local,
woodworking,
firm,
temper
and
grit.
The
backsplash
is
actually
an
off-the-shelf
backsplash
that
was
screen
printed
by
modesto,
a
screen
printing
artist
out
in
east
pittsburgh.
P
The
light
fixtures
it's
kind
of
hard
to
see
because
it's
a
white
light
fixture,
but
that's
sort
of
the
a
warhol
homage
it's
a
soup
can
a
glass
blown
light
fixture,
that's
done
by
a
husband
and
wife
glass,
blowing
team
vessel,
studio,
glass
and
then
the
mailboxes
were
also
handmade
by
bones
and
all
a
local
another
local
maker
in
the
mon
made
program.
All
of
these
things
did
not
add
extravagant
numbers
to
our
budget.
They
were
small
pieces,
but
they
create
a
value
in
the
home.
P
They
create
a
sense
of
worth.
You
know,
we've
had
homeowners
come
through
and
and
be
shocked
at
sort
of
this,
this
level
of
care
that
goes
into
our
homes.
We
want
people
to.
We
believe
that,
in
addition
to
affordable,
safe,
healthy
housing,
people
deserve
beautiful
housing.
People
deserve
well-made
housing
and
the
people
who
make
those
products
deserve
to
have
a
place
and
a
market
to
sell
some
of
their
some
of
their
beautiful
work
next
slide,
so
it
wouldn't
be.
P
I
wouldn't
be
done
if
I
didn't
bring
a
little
bit
of
sort
of
gray
clouds
to
the
story
of
the
project.
So
I
said
we,
we
sold
eight
houses
in
lawrenceville
last
last
year.
Four
of
those
went
to
bipark
households,
all
for
all,
eight
were
first-time
homebuyers.
Four
of
the
eight
were
households
of
color,
and
this
is
something
that
I
feel
like
we
bring
up
and
have
to
bring
up
every
time
we
talk
about
this
project.
P
The
median
household
of
color
we
served
last
year
had
a
credit
score
of
663
and
a
debt
to
income
ratio
of
36
and
a
half
these
are.
These
are
game-changing
numbers
right
for
a
lot
of
mortgage
qualification.
680
is
the
cutoff.
We
are
thankful
to
have
a
bank
partner
that
in
first
commonwealth
bank
and
their
mortgage
portfolio
product
can
serve,
will
serve
individuals
down
to
620..
P
P
But
if
we
had
priced
them
closer
to
what
a
max
80
ami
buyer
could
afford
our
median
household
of
color
last
year,
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
afford
that
that
price,
because
of
the
other
debt
that
they
are
bringing
to
the
table
when
they
try
to
qualify
for
a
house
next
slide
and
then
really
quickly
again,
you'll,
hopefully
be
seeing
myself
and
our
real
estate
managers,
julie
and
jordan
in
the
near
future.
P
We're
building
off
of
this
work
in
lawrenceville
we
have
two
homes
currently
underway
in
east
liberty
and
also
over
the
next
12
months.
We
have
planned
groundbreaking
in
polish
hill,
fine
view,
hazelwood,
garfield
and
east
hills,
and
so
you'll
be
seeing,
hopefully
a
lot
more
of
us
in
the
in
the
near
future.
A
Up
next
we're
going
to
be
led
in
a
conversation
by
cal.
Excuse
me
kyle,
webster,
from
action
housing.
Thank
you
for
that
ad.
That
was
very
informative
and
you
actually
proactively
asked
all
the
questions
that
I
was
scribbling
and
answered
all
the
questions
that
I
was
scribbling
on
my
post-it.
So
thank
you
for
that.
That's.

I
Emergency
rental
assistance
program
is
a
massive
partnership
between
allegheny
county
city
of
pittsburgh,
action,
housing,
urban
league
of
greater
pittsburgh
and
the
ywca
of
greater
pittsburgh
next
slide
shows
you
that
we
also
have
engaged
with
22
smaller
non-profits
throughout
allegheny
county,
who
are
assisting
us
with
helping
folks
apply,
who
may
have
technology
barriers
and
also
running
drop-in
centers
for
people
to
go
in
if
they
also
need
assistance
with
applying
for
the
program.
I
I
It
will
shift
into
ewrap
2,
which
will
be
about
another
50
million
dollars,
and
the
county
has
recently
requested
98
million
more
dollars
to
serve
all
of
the
folks
that
we
currently
have
applications
for
the
program
can
provide
up
to
12
months
of
rent,
due
on
or
after
march
13
2020,
with
up
to
three
additional
months.
If
funding
is
still
available,
e-wrap
one
will
go
through
september.
2022
and
e-wrap
two
will
go
through
december
of
2024,
pending
availability
of
funding.
I
I
This
shows
you
where
our
drop-in
centers
are.
We
tried
to
space
them
throughout
allegheny
county
to
make
them
as
accessible
as
possible
to
folks,
and
we
are
also
looking
to
expand,
possibly
to
another
location
in
response
to
some
spaces
that
we
hadn't
covered.
So
we
are
hoping
to
get
to
everybody
in
the
county
and
give
them
a
place
that
they
can
apply
close
to
home
if
necessary.
I
Landlords
can
initiate
the
application
for
emergency
rental
assistance.
They
we
do,
encourage
them
to
work
with
their
tenants
because
they
do
have
to
provide
a
login
to
the
tenants
so
that
they
can
give
us
the
documentation
that
we
need.
We've
done
outreach
to
landlords
to
show
them
how
they
can
do
this
with
their
tenants.
Many
are
setting
up
events
at
their
central
location,
so
that
folks
can
come
and
they
can
help
them
apply
with
technology
and
provide
documentation
to
them
next
slide.
I
In
order
to
be
eligible
for
emergency
rental
assistance,
you
must
live
in
allegheny
county.
The
household
has
to
have
an
income
below
80
percent
of
the
area.
Median
income.
There
has
to
be
a
covet
impact,
which
is
loss
of
income
increase
in
expenses
or
financial
hardship.
There
has
to
be
a
risk
of
homelessness
or
housing
instability
and
there
does
have
to
be
a
valid
lease,
but
that
can
be
written
or
oral.
I
The
applications
go
through
a
five-step
process,
once
they're
submitted
in
step
one.
We
do
an
inventory
of
what
documents
we
have
and
what
documents
we
need.
In
the
second
step,
we
outreach
to
tenants
to
obtain
any
documents
that
are
missing:
that's
done
by
the
ywca
action,
housing
and
17
partner
agencies
in
step.
Three,
we
determine
whether
the
applicant
is
eligible
in
step.
Four,
we
do
outreach
to
the
landlord
or
the
tenant
depending
upon
who
we're
going
to
pay
the
rent
to
that's
done
by
action,
housing
and
the
urban
league
and
in
step
five.
I
Landlords
are
asked
to
provide
a
w-9,
their
payment
information
and
to
let
us
know
what
amounts
of
rent
the
tenant
owes.
If
landlords
are
not
willing
to
participate
in
the
program,
we
will
pay
the
pennant
the
tenant
directly
payment
will
be
initiated
within
three
business
days
of
us
obtaining
all
the
information
we
need
paying.
Someone
via
ach
takes
about
two
to
ten
days
generally,
and
checks
can
take
up
to
15
days
to
receive.
I
I
A
Thank
you
up.
Next,
we
have
the
housing
stabilization
program.
There
is
some
recommendations
to
increase
contracts.
I
believe
this
presentation
will
be
made
by
ura
staff.
R
R
Anything,
oh
chartier
center,
so
they're
an
organization
here
within
the
city
of
pitt,
well
a
little
outside
of
the
city
so
bridgeville.
So
they
specialize
in
mental
health
services,
so
they're
an
organization
that
we've
contracted
with
for
the
2020
year
to
help
spread
the
the
the
wealth
around
and
to
increase.
B
R
B
F
And
I
do
believe
this
is
adrian
speaking
charters,
even
though
their
actual
headquarters
are
outside
of
the
city.
They
serve
city
residents,
they're,
not
geography
bound
in
the
work
that
they
do.
They
do
work
across
the
county
in
the
city
and
they're
special
behavioral
health
consumers.
B
A
So
if
I'm
correct
my
understanding,
these
are
funds
that
were
previously
allocated
that
just
need
to
shift
for
hsp
they're,
just
shifting
from
one
provider
to
another,
because
we've
switched
from
2-1-1
to
the
link
correct.
R
B
D
Kelly,
these
are
20
21
dollars
that
were
allocated
to
hsb,
but
not
allocated
to
providers,
so
so
we're
dividing.
A
R
C
Also,
I'm
sorry:
how
does
this
all
work,
so
we
allocated
the
big
number
and
then
that
number
getting
split
up,
we're
just
taking
a
portion
of
it,
because
that
provider
needs
more
funds.
Is
that
what
we're
doing
or
how
will
the
rest
of
the
funds
be
determined.
R
So
we've
allocated
the
633
000
amongst
these
three
providers.
The
two
providers
that
have
already
gone
over
to
dhs
has
more
than
enough
to
administer
eviction
prevention.
So
these
are
the
three
organizations
that
need
a
little
bit
more
funding
to
continue
the
program
to
assist
our
city
residents.
A
Yes,
if
there
are
no
other
questions,
if
there's,
if
anyone
wants
to
make
a
motion
to
accept
or
reject
this
recommendation,
this.
S
A
We
have
one
more
housing,
stabilization
program,
reallocation.
R
Yes,
so,
in
addition
to
the
previous
slide,
we
are
looking
to
reallocate
the
remaining
contract
of
jfcs
to
the
ywca
to
continue
providing
eviction
prevention
services
to
our
city
residents,
as
jfcs
has
unfortunately
informed
us
that
they
currently
do
not
have
the
capacity
to
continue
working
with
hsp,
but
they
will
continue
to
let
people
know
the
program
exists
and
get
those
residents
connected
to
services.
R
G
G
A
Thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
all
those
in
favor.
F
E
A
A
As
we
heard,
we
had
a
couple
of
public
com.
Quite
a
number
of
public
commenters
around
a
number
of
programs,
primarily
focused
on
the
legal
assistance
program
and
our
current
allocation.
Do
we
want
to
have
any
discussion
on
what
we
have
currently
proposed?
We
do
have
the
ability
if
we
choose
to
go
back
in
to
make
some
changes,
but
we
are
not
necessarily
obligated
to
do
so
so
open.
This
current
allocation
plan
from
last
week.
A
So
the
public
comment
we
had
pre,
we
had
in
our
discussions
only
allocated
250
000
to
the
legal
assistance
program,
because
there
was
money
left
over
from
prior
from
prior
years
to
cover
what
we
had
thought
would
be
the
you
know
appropriate
amount,
but
we
had
some
folks
from
the
neighborhood
legal
services,
community,
justice
project
and
rent
help
pgh,
who
spoke
earlier
and
said
that
they
believe
this
allocation
is
going
to
be
too
low,
that
any
carryover
will
be
quickly
expended
with
the
ending
of
the
moratorium
and
things
of
those
nature,
as
well
as
the
number
of
what
has
been
expended
being,
perhaps
artificially
low,
because
it
takes
a
little
while
to
get
into
that
billing.
A
You
know
kind
of
rhythm,
and
so
the
recommendations
ranged
a
bit,
but
it
seemed
to
be
that
we
prov
that
it
be
around.
Six
hundred
thousand
dollars
seem
to
be
kind
of
like
the
middle
number
somewhere
a
little
bit
higher
somewhere
a
little
bit
lower
to
meet
what
would
be
expected
to
be
the
current
demand
over
2022-23
was
kind
of.
I
think
that
I
don't
know
if
folks
feel
like
that
was
a
fair
synthesis,
but
that's
what
I
what
I
gathered
from
thank.
A
T
Okay,
this
is
paul.
That
was
a
fantastic
summary
and
I
I
actually
really
valued
that
the
conversation
that
came
up
that
sort
of
set
the.
Why
behind?
Why?
Why
the
thoughts
of
increasing
those
things
it
would
have
been
nice
to
maybe
have
that
prior
to
our
vote,
and
so
maybe
that's
something
we
could
begin
to
think
about
for
the
future,
and
I
don't
I
I
don't
know
how
what
that
process
would
look
like
if
we
wanted
to
rediscuss
up.
T
You
know
moving
that
that
those
funds
up,
because
that
would
ultimately
mean
we
need
to
pull
from
somewhere
else
and
it
didn't
seem
like
there
was
a
consensus
in
that
space.
You
know
during
our
voting
process
or
communication
process.
A
Right
while
we
were
voting,
I
think
we
were
thinking
that
the
carryover
would
be
sufficient
again
not
being
in
really
into
the
weeds,
as
our
public
commenters
were.
We
could
you
know
in
theory,
open
up
the
you
know
open
up
the
excel
spreadsheet,
live
and
move
some
numbers
around.
A
You
know
a
150
gap
that
we
would
have
to
pull
from
somewhere,
assuming
of
course,
that
that's
what
we
wanted
to
do,
but
that's
the
only
kind
of
area
that's
a
little
bit
flexible
for
lack
of
a
better
term.
So
again,
I'm
just
opening
it
up
to
to
see
what
folks
would
like
to
do
here.
I
I.
G
Would
also
think
that
we
might
be
able
to
to
shape
the
rest
of
that
out
of
the
small
land
board
fund.
The
other.
G
Point
out,
I
know
folks
read
some
of
the
public
comment
that
was
received
on
the
website
about
the
plan,
but
at
some
point
tom
we
need
to
as
the
housing
opportunity
fund.
We
need
to
get
an
accounting
of
the
administrative
dollars.
You
know.
I
know
I've
asked
for
that
in
the
past,
not
for
the
past
year
or
two.
G
But
when
you
look
at
the
comments
there
there
are,
you
know
that
was
something
that
was
the
most
unified
or
two
or
three
comments
there
about
a
million
dollars
is
way
too
much,
and
I
I
don't
know
if
that's
true
or
not,
you
know
some
might
think
it's
reasonable.
Others
might
think
it's
too
much,
but
we
have
no
way
of
judging
that
and
you
know
I
it's
just
like
we
never
have
that
conversation.
G
It's
been
kicked
down
the
road
and
I
think
that
there
needs
to
be
a
conversation
about
how
those
funds
are
spent
and
are
there
other
ways
to
pay.
For
that
I
don't
know
it
might
be.
You
know
a
bargain
or
it
might
be
too
much,
but
you
know
we're
talking
about
people
getting
kicked
out
of
their
houses.
G
You
know:
are
there
things
we
might
be
able
to
do
for
this
year
to
switch
some
of
those
funds
around
might
be
another
way,
but
you
know
I
I'm
flying
blind
because
I
feel
like
as
as
a
advisory
board
member,
because
we
don't
have
any
accounting
of
how
those
funds
actually
get
spent,
and
you
know
it's
been
asked
for
it.
You
know
I've
asked
for
it
several
times.
G
I
probably
know
it
over
the
last
year
or
two,
but
you
know
I
would
certainly
hope
that
we
would
be
able
to
find
a
way
to
keep
the
program.
That's
going
to
prevent
people
getting
kicked
out
of
their
houses.
You
know
what
good
does
it
do
us
to
build
50
new
units?
If
you
know
150
people
are
losing
their
houses
because
they're
getting
evicted.
A
Well,
we
know
I
have
a
soft
spot
for
for
legal
work
to
keep
folks
the
housed.
So
I'm
not
going
to
lean
too
heavily
on
the
scale,
but
would
we
be
able
to
perhaps
review
the
original
ura?
Could
we
put
that
on
the
screen?
A
Perhaps
the
original
ura
staff
recommendation,
because
I
know
there
are
some
things
that
we
had
shifted
around,
where
it
had
the
column
where
it
had
the
advice,
the
advisory
boards
recommendation
versus
the
ura's
recommendations,
I'm
kind
of
having
a
hard
time
figuring
out
which
hash
marks
we
were
playing
around
in
when
we
arrived
at
these
numbers-
and
you
know
that
administration-
I
did
read
those
comments
as
well,
as
you
know
well
taken,
although
that
is
by
statute,
that
ten
percent
would
be
for
administrative
fees.
But
that's.
G
B
I
I
do
agree
with
with
mark
that
we
should
have
those
numbers.
I
mean
I
feel
uncomfortable
voting
for
things
and
and
seeing
things
and
moving
things
without
a
contract
without
seeing
what
the
cost
are
for
salary
there's
just
so.
I
think
we
just
need
more
information
period
because
we
have
to
answer
to
the
public,
and
so
I
agree
with
mark
and
some
work
I'll
work
with
you
on
trying
to
get
that
information.
Maybe
we
can
hold
up
some
of
the
money
for
the
to
the
ura
until
we
get
the
art
funding.
Thank
you.
F
H
F
F
F
C
It
does
seem
like
that
this
is
new
information
that
wasn't
provided
when
we
were
discussing
the
other
items
in
the
staff
assessment.
This
wasn't
provided,
so
I
think
it
is
worth
considering,
and
I
think
the
demonstration
dollars
give
us
some
flexibility
to
move
some
things
around,
and
I
think
it's
better
to
do
that
sooner
than
later.
So
we're
not
in
that
crisis
point,
but
the
dollars
are
already
there.
A
I
think
a
lot
of
the
information
that
was
provided
today
is
information
that
the
ura
might
not
have
had
access
to
because
it
seemed
to
be
pretty
internal
to
their
billing
pace
or
you
know,
just
seemed
pretty
particularized,
which
is
you
know
unfortunate
that
we
didn't
have
it
earlier
so
that
we
could
have
had.
A
You
know,
I
think
everybody
remembers
that
or
something
spent
you
know
kind
of
moving
commas
around
here,
and
so
I'm
not
entirely
comfortable
just
doing
it
on
the
fly.
A
However,
I
you
know
I
I
do
want
to
put
that
out
to
everybody
that
that
is
an
option
that
we
we
do,
have
the
ability
to
do
it,
and
I
just
wanted
to
have
something
in
addition
to
the
final
product
for
us
to
look
at
if
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
consider
doing
today
or
if
we
wanted
to
leave
it,
as
is
in
this
flush-ish
fund,
that
is
demo
dollars.
I
don't
know
I'm
just
putting
out
there
what
our,
what
our
options
are
to
consider
for
today.
G
Yeah,
I
think
the
idea
of
the
demo
dollars
is
that
you
know
if
there's
a
crisis
or
there's
some
something
that
needs
to
get
done.
I
would
argue
we're
on
the
press
and
we
can
see.
We
know
what
the
crisis
is
going
to
be.
We
can
see
it's
coming.
The
only
reason
it
hasn't
hit
full
force
is
because
cdc
has
changed
rules,
and
you
know
that's
all
going
to
end
and
that's
not
going
to
be
a
year
from
now.
G
We
know
that
that's
going
to
hit,
so
if
we
can
use
the
demo
dollars
for
what
we
can
see
coming
as
this
tidal
wave-
and
I
would
also
argue
the
small
landlord
fund
is
something
that's
new
and
it
it's
you
know
is-
can
be
a
valuable
program
to
try
to
do
things
to
get
a
more
a
higher
usage
of
housing,
choice
vouchers,
but
maybe
for
right.
Now
we've
got
a,
we
got
to
shelve
something
new
and
try
to
fund
something
that
just
got
up
on
its
legs
this
year,
and
you
know,
let's
keep.
G
F
Also,
the
suggestion
of
benchmarking
programs
again
to
talk
about.
Are
there
additional
dollars
needed
so
we're?
Also
now
you
know
talking
about
figures
that
were
put
out
related
to
the
legal
assistance,
which
again,
I
think,
is
incredibly
important.
I
am
not
debating
whether
or
not
it's
incredibly
important,
but
we
got
figures
from
an
additional
400
000
to
an
additional
600
000.
F
G
A
So
would
we
want
to
perhaps
shave
a
little
bit
from
each
of
those
two
categories
to
get
to
that
400
and
reassess
at
a
later
date,
because
we
have,
in
the
past
shifted
money
as
needs
changed,
that
that
would
be
a.
Perhaps
the
possibility
is
a
little
here,
a
little
there
get
to
that
minimum
seems
to
be
agreed
number
because
I
do
know
we
had
some
conversation
around
this
as
it
happened.
You
know
we're
like
wait.
Why
are
we
putting
so
little
in
here
and
then
it
was
like.
A
T
So
and
I
I
appreciate
that
kelly
and
I
support
sort
of
what
you're
talking
about.
I
think
we
got
new
information
that
helped
shape
our
thinking,
and
so
I
I
think
that
if
we
could
consider
that
sort
of
shaping
a
little
bit
and
then
discussing
that.
H
B
And
I'm
going
to
say
I'm
going
to
trust
you
kelly,
because
I
I
don't
want
us
to
get
in
the
habit
of
changing
things
because
10
public
speakers
come
out,
but
there
might
be
30
40,
50
500
that
didn't
come
out.
They
have
a
different
opinion.
So
I'm
going
to
trust
you
on
this
one
and
I'll
follow
your
lead
on
it.
F
F
G
The
council
president,
how
long
and
when
does
council
approve
this
in
december
with
the
rest
of
the
budget
for
the
city
capital
budget
for
the
city.
A
Yes,
it
could
go
to
the
ura
board
in
november.
If
we
wanted
to
we
could
we
don't
necessarily
need
to
rush
this?
We
could
have
a
special
session
getting
into
these
weeds
this
month,
to
give
it
to
them,
represent
in
november,
get
it
to
the
ra
board
in
november,
but
that
is
that
is
a
little
quick
and
a
little
tight,
but
it
still
does
kind
of
get
us
in
by
that.
Just
by
that
hard
december
date
with
the
with
the
city
council.
A
But
again,
sometimes
we
have
a
hard
time
getting
folks
together
for
a
special
session,
so
sometimes
so
just
throwing
throwing
the
possibility
and
then
the
challenge
out
there
as
well
around
a
special
session
to
dive
deeper
into
these
weeds.
S
So
I
have
a
question
for
the
advisory
board
if
we
were
to
postpone
this
by
a
month.
What
exactly
do
you
envision
happening
within
that
month
that
you
would
like
to
see
happen?
That
would
encourage
public
comment
or
what
would
you
like
the
ura
to
do
that
you
think
would
help,
would
either
change
or
alter
your
opinion
on
this
plan.
C
Personally,
prefer
to
just
move
this
today
moving.
If
I
don't,
if
there's
enough
of
a
consensus
around
moving
those
demonstration
dollars
to
the
legal
legal
pot,
I
think
what
the
public
commenters
are
saying.
If
you
know
we
added
400,
it
would
equal
650,
which
would
be
kind
of
level
with
previous
years.
So
I
think
that
was
the
request,
so
we're
able
to
move
those
demo
dollars
that
would
keep
funds,
even
so
that
would
be
my
motion
that
we
move
today.
C
E
I
think
that,
because
demo
dollars
are
flexible
and
we
could
move
them
later,
I'd
be
more
comfortable
kind
of
waiting
to
see
how
things
unfold,
because
I
mean
certainly
the
the
comments
presented
this
morning
were
incredibly
compelling,
but
I
think
you
know
advocates
for
hsp
or
ajp
could
make
similarly
compelling
arguments
and
I'd
hate
to
to
just
completely
eliminate
or
significantly
eliminate
the
demo
line
item.
When
we
we
specifically
don't
know
what
might
come
up
that
we
need
to
address.
A
What's
our
past
demo
dollars,
what's
our
carryover,
do
we
have
that
number
six
hundred
thousand
okay,
because
I
I
I
too
sonia
would
be
uncomfortable
not
having
any
demo
dollars,
because.
U
A
What
allows
us
to
be
responsive
to
whatever
it
is,
but
if
we,
if
we'll
still
have
600
000,
then
I
think
that
might
change
that
conversation
a
little
bit.
But
we
certainly.
A
Right,
I'm
like
I'm
like
what
is
there
because
I'm
like
if
we
have
zero
demo
dollars,
I'm
gonna,
like
you
know,
I'm
gonna
have
a
slight
panic
attack
because,
if
anything
happens
then
we
can't
really
be
responsive
to
it.
But
if
you
have
a
600
carryover,
then
that
that
you
know
that
informs
my
thinking
I'll
say.
B
And
I
did
just
check
kelly
for
our
for
the
budget.
It
goes
to.
The
ura
first
will
come
to
us
probably
around
december,
but
then
it
it's
approved
by
the
ura
board.
H
Q
Asking
for
the
staff
recommendations
too,
but
this
is
this-
is
the
draft
plan
that
was
up
for
the
last
month.
C
D
D
There
is
the
demand,
and
without
the
hoth
line
item
moving
forward
the
ability
to
implement
this
program
and
reach
you
know
a
higher
level
of
units
will
be
restricted.
D
I
mean
it
just
rolled
out
in
the
last
year
year.
I
think
we
had
a
commitment
from
upmc
and
internal
ura
sources.
D
The
income
levels
are
up
to
80
percent
ami,
and
so
typical
housing
funds
at
the
ura
cannot
support
this
so
and
federal
dollars
when
targeting
the
60
50
30
ami
levels
is
really
a
huge
lift
for
these
smaller
landlords
asking
them
to
go
through
compliance
and
review
processes
that
a
lot
of
these
owners
just
do
not
have
the
capacity
for
so
utilizing
funds
to
target
the
50
and
30
percent
renters.
D
A
So
I
guess
this
follow-up
question
would
be
that
this
excuse
me
this
is
if
this
number
is
required
or
if
there's
some
flexibility
there
or
if
we
just
want
to
shift
the
200
and
leave
everything
else
alone.
I
guess
is
another
possibility
and
see
how
how
that
flows?
Well,
I
I
guess
maybe
what
we
can
do
is
shift
that
to
the
four
total
of
400
and
then
look
at
the
demo.
G
G
We
take
the
200
from
the
demo
this
year.
We
take
another
200
out
of
a
small
landlord
program
and
then,
if
we
want
to
have
a
discussion
about
the
small
landlord
fund,
we've
got
600
000
in
demonstration
dollars.
That's
that's
left
over
from
previous
years
that
maybe
that's
a
good
place
to
allocate
it.
F
I
would
say
I
feel
uncomfortable
with
that.
I
mean
these
numbers.
This
discussion
went
out
to
the
public.
We
stressed
the
importance
of
these
programs.
I
don't
know
that
eliminating
the
funding
for
one
of
those
programs
feels
like
it's
transparent.
At
this
point
and
again
we're
opening
up
budget
line
items
focused
on
one
goal,
but
not
necessarily
talking
about
the
impact
of
each
one
of
these
programs
and
where
there
they
may
be
underfunded.
E
E
I
would
be
uncomfortable
with
at
this
point.
After
all
of
the
discussion
taking
half
roughly
of
the
small
landlord
fund
away.
H
A
A
Any
opposed
any
abstentions,
abstain
teresa.
Thank
you.
All
right
looks
like
this
motion
carries
and
we
will
set
this
in
front
of
the
board.
Excuse
me
in
front
of
the
uri
board
next
month
and
move
forward
with
this
again
with
the
ability
to
reopen
and
reshift
things
among
all
of
our
priorities
as
necessary
next
year,
but
we
are
that
that
is
a
significant
chunk
towards
what
was
requested
all
right.
So
our
next
agenda
item
would
be
advisory
board
administrative
items.
A
Our
fair
housing
committee
had
not
met.
Last
month
we
had
actually
taken
a
brief
hiatus,
while
the
rfp
committee
spent
some
time
figuring
out
how
to
operationalize
many
of
the
items
that
were
priorities,
and
so
there
are
some
recommendations
that
came
from
that
working
group
that
will
be
given
to
the
fair
housing
committee
to
chew,
on,
as
well
as
how
to
further
advance
fair
housing
in
a
more
strategic
and
thorough
way
and
the
advisory
among
the
hoff.
A
I'm
not
sure
we
had
established
a
communications
and
community
outreach
committee,
I'm
not
sure
if
they
met
in
the
past
month.
Is
anybody
present
who's?
A
member
of
that
group.
A
Right
and
and
then
there's
just
one
more
administrative
item
that
came
up
as
it
as
a
channel
as
it
te
as
it
tends
to
do
at
the
beginning
of
these
meetings,
but
around
the
actual
language
around
quorum.
So
I'm
reviewing,
I
was
reviewing
our
bylaws
that
were
that
are
dated
january
7th
section
one
on
voting
in
quorum.
I
just
want
to
read
that,
so
we
can
come
to
a
little
bit
of
a
consensus
around
that
moving
forward.
A
A
A
majority
of
board
members
represents
a
quorum
and
must
be
present
either
virtually
or
in
person
in
order
to
hold
a
vote.
If
there's
not
a
majority
present
because
of
abstaining
members
and
a
minimum
of
five
voting,
members
must
be
present
to
hold
a
vote.
It
goes
on
to
how
people
vote
that
amending
the
bylaws
requires
two-thirds
majority
and
so
on.
So
I'm
thinking
that
it's
for
us
to
decide
whether
that
is
total
number
of
seats
available
or
total
number
of
seats
held.
A
I
would
suggest
that
we
go
by
a
number
of
seats
that
are
currently
held
by
by
people
so
that
that
is
actually
what
I
think
would
constitute
a
majority
of
members,
even
though
it's
not
spelled
out
with
more
particularity
than
that.
But
I
want
to
open
that
up
for
discussions
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page
aaron.
A
This
was
as
a
result
of
whether
or
not
quorum
was
was
nine
or
eight,
considering
that
we
have
one
vacancy,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
back
for
everyone
to
to
discuss
moving
forward.
So
it's
not
us
at
nine
o'clock
in
november
having
the
same
kind
of
conversation
while
we're
counting
folks.
A
So
it
just
says:
board
member,
it
just
says
a
member
is
present
and
so
total
members
and
hold
on
one.
Second,
let
me
not.
Let
me
not
lie
a
majority
of
members,
a
majority
of
board
members,
and
so
we
do
have
a
vacancy,
but
we've
been
counting
quorum
as
though
that
seat
were
filled
to
make
nine,
because
that
would
be
half
plus
one
versus
if
we
count
it
without
that
person
present,
which
is
15
people
who
are
currently
serving
on
the
board.
A
That
would
be
eight
because
that
would
be
half
of
six.
You
know
half
of
16
plus
one.
So
that's,
I
guess
the
well
half
of
15
plus
one.
So
I
guess
that
is
the
question
as
to
whether
or
not
we
want
to
count
that
seat.
That's
will
be
filled,
but
it's
currently
not.
It
will
be
okay,
we
have
a
vacancy
and
as
our
in
our
tenant
representative,
and
I
believe
the
some
of
the
thought
process
was
that
that
will
be
as
this
administration
winds
down,
that
that
would
be
nominated.
A
Perhaps
you
know
in
january
so
it
will
be
filled,
but
in
the
meantime,
we're
holding
forum
to
a
number
that
inc
includes
a
person
that
is
not.
That
is
never
going
to
attempt,
because
there
is
no.
There
is
nobody
currently
serving
in
that
seat.
So
I
just
want
to
get
some.
You
know.
Have
this
be
a
conversation
for
all
the
board
members.
So
it's
not
just
open
to
interpretation
at
the
start
of
each
meeting
so
that
we're
clear
on
what
constitutes
a
quorum.
C
Every
board
I've
ever
been
on.
You
have
to
do
people
the
seats
that
are
actually
filled.
I
don't
think
it
makes
sense
to
do
forum
based
on
the
number
that
should
be
on
the
board.
We
don't
have
any
control
over
whether
these
seats
are
filled
and
we
have
to
conduct
business.
So
you
really
want
the
majority
of
people
that
are
in
gate
that
are
presently
on
the
board.
That
would
be
my
my
position.
G
Agreed
and-
and
you
know,
city
council
meets,
they
have
form
rules.
If
there's
at
that,
you
know
one
or
two
vacant
council
seats,
you
know
they
adjust
the
quorum.
You
know
it's
just
like
any
other
elected
body.
The
state
legislature
does
the
same
thing.
A
I
think
when
we
decided
nine,
that
that
seat
was
currently
filled-
and
I
just
wanted
to
come
back
to
it
because
we
did
have
eight
on
the
call
for
for
a
minute,
but
we
wanted
to
make,
but
we
had
nine
in
our
head
and
was
like-
let's,
let's
discuss
this
on
the
record
as
a
full
group,
so
we
can
get
some
consensus
on
this,
so
we
can
move
forward
with
that
number.
Does
anybody
have
an
alternative
opinion
that
we
should
keep
it
at
nine,
because
somebody
will
eventually
be
in
that
seat.
A
Okay,
so,
based
on
the
currently
filled
seats,
we're
going
to
make
this
operate
with
purim
as
a
number
of
board
members
based
on
currently
filled
seats
and
for
our
purposes
now,
based
on
who's
there.
That
will
be
eight,
and
so
that
concludes
our
administrative.
Our
administrative
items
and
thank
you
mark
for
pointing
that
out,
give
me
a
minute
to
dig
in
to
find
it
written
so
that
we
could
be
in
accordance
with
what's
allowed,
and
now
we
have
dhs
and
ura
to
make
reports
on
our
expenditures.
U
Hi
yeah
I
am
on
so
I
could
do
a
quick
update
on
coordinated
entry,
but
my
assumption
is
the
ura
would
have
expenditure
information
as
contracts
aren't
through
yet
on
the
dhs
side,
so
there
are
zero
expenditures
on
the
dhs
side.
Brianna.
Do
you
want
me
to
do
my
programmatic
update
quickly.
U
So
we
are
still
working
closely
with
the
ura
on
the
transition
of
those
administrative
functions
for
hsp.
There
are
a
lot
of
moving
parts
as
it's
a
really
robust
program,
so
we
are
pretty
close
to
wrapping
everything
up
with
a
with
a
bow.
U
U
U
Through
the
urban
league,
we
had
approximately
600
calls
specific
to
eviction
prevention
or
rental
assistance
from
366
unduplicated
households
of
those
we
targeted
25
to
be
placed
on
the
queue
for
an
hsp
referral,
as
the
programs
are
continuing
to
review
capacity
to
assist
those
folks
on
the
queue
we
are
keeping
a
really
close
eye
on
those
households
waiting
for
prevention,
and
we
will
revisit
if
other
prevention
programs
within
the
continuum
of
care
through
the
homeless
system
have
more
capacity
and
we
can
target
them
then
to
another
potential
solution.
U
As
I
know,
these
are
you
know
time
sensitive
situations,

a

the
hsp
providers
get
their
capacity
up,

that's
my
update
as

month,
one
being
done
for
coordinated
entry.
