Good

the
april
meeting
of
the
housing
opportunity
fund
advisory
board.
I

it

our
new

who
started
last
month

sebring
to
run
the
meeting

C
B
C
D
E
B
Adrian
wonaha
here
I'm
present
and
megan
winters
here.
Thank
you.
We
will
now
go
to
review
and
accept
the
minutes
from
our
march
4th
meeting.
B
All
right,
so
our
minutes
are
approved.
Moving
on
to
public
comment,
our
registered
public
commenter
is
megan
conference
from
the
fair
housing
partnership.
E
Thank
you
kelly
good
morning,
everyone,
my
name,
is
megan
conker-hammond,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
fairhouse
partnership
and
I
am
thrilled
to
start
off
april
as
fair
housing
month
with
this
meeting
and
able
to
announce,
as
you
all
know,
and
we'll
be
discussing
later,
that
the
inaugural
meeting
of
the
fair
housing
committee
was
held
in
march,
and
it
is
the
first
step
towards
this
application
of
an
equity
lens
in
the
work
that
we
all
are
doing
here,
and
I
am
excited
to
also
share
that.
E
I
found
out
last
night
that
fair
housing
organizations
on
a
national
level
are
working
with
congress
on
housing
funding
that
is
tied
to
race,
conscious
and
equity
rules
and
language,
and
so
I
will
be
able
to
discuss
that
language
and
share
it
all
with
you.
But
happily
the
vast
majority
of
that
language
is
what
we
are
already
discussing
and
what
we
are
already
applying.
E
And
so
I
am
truly
hopeful
that
this
model
that
we
are
working
on
here
and
together
will
be
something
that
can
be
potentially
at
the
forefront
of
what
the
nation
is
working
on
as
a
whole.
E
And
so
there's
a
lot
of
work
left
to
do,
but
I
certainly
am
firm
believer
that
we
are
all
committed
to
it
and
that
we
will
put
that
time
and
effort
in
to
find
these
solutions
for
the
systemic
and
historical
bias
that
has
caused
such
inequity.
That
has
been
worsened
by
this
golden
19
pandemic.
E
I
will
also
bring
to
your
attention
that
I
am
happy
to
see
the
landlord
tenant
legal
funds
being
discussed
and
the
review
today.
I
will
hope
that
part
of
what
we'll
discuss
as
well
is
that
the
direct
services
to
residents,
including
the
legal
funds
of
the
new
program
and
hsp
as
well,
while
we're
seeing
the
rent
relief
funds
of
the
e-wrap
program
go
at
the
county
level.
E
I
hope
that
we
can
spend
this
time
addressing
the
concerns
in
which
hsp
and
the
rent,
relief
and
other
assistance
funds
are
having
a
difficult
time
and
being
made
available
to
city
residents
and
for
this
to
be
a
program
that
we
can
be
proud
of
after
povid
as
a
unique
source
for
pittsburghers
to
access
housing,
stabilization
plans
and
that
we
can
address
the
barriers
in
tenants
and
residents
accessing
those
funds,
and
I
will
also
share
is
that
I
will
send
out
links
throughout
the
month
of
april
if
anyone
is
interested
in
collaborating
or
attending
fair
housing.
E
Events,
as
we
commemorate
the
53rd
anniversary
of
the
fair
housing
act
passing
in
1968,
and
also
share
that
fhp
is
part
of
a
five
fair
housing
organizations
in
filing
against
a
senior
housing
provider
in
the
private
market,
in
pennsylvania,
ohio
in
new
york,
who
is
discriminating
against
seniors
by
charging
additional
fees
for
seniors
with
disabilities
and
denying
accommodation
requests.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
but
I
appreciate
you
all
as
allies
in
doing
that
work.
So
thank
you
all.
B
Thank
you,
megan.
Is
there
anyone
else
present
who
would
like
to
provide
public
comment.
B
Okay,
with
no
further
public
commenters,
we
will
move
on
to.
B
I'm
sorry
I
didn't
know
that
was
noise
or,
if
that
was
somebody
raising
their
hand
to
speak.
B
Okay
with
no
further
ado,
we
will
proceed
down
the
rest
of
our
agenda.
That's
right.
My
paper
was
sit
down.
Okay,
so
now
our
legal
assistance
program
contracts
is
next
on
the
agenda.
C
Slide
on
february
19th,
we
released
an
rfp
for
the
legal
assistance
program.
We
closed
rfp
on
march
12th
and
received
five
proposals.
C
After
an
internal
review,
the
proposed
contracts
are
being
considered
for
funding
to
operate
the
legal
assistance
programs
so
for
coordinated
entry.
Community
justice
project
will
subcontract
rent
help
pgh
and
the
pittsburgh
hispanic
development
corporation
to
field
calls
for
these
programs
and
triggers
them
to
the
appropriate
legal
assistance
providers.
C
C
Just
mediation
pittsburgh
will
serve
as
a
sole
provider
for
mediation
services,
as
this
is
their
expertise
and
they
have
built
relationships
with
other
legal
assistance
providers.
Over
the
last
year
they
will
operate
under
their
parent
organization.
Family
mediation,
council
of
western
pennsylvania,
limited
legal
consultation
and
full
legal
representation
will
be
provided
by
neighborhood
legal
services
and
warrant
law,
neighborhood
legal
services,
long-standing
established
and
well-respected,
non-profit,
providing
free
legal
services
to
low-income
residents
across
our
region.
C
Community
justice
project
will
also
provide
limited
legal
consultation
and
full
legal
representation
to
undocumented
residents
and
those
who
otherwise
might
disqualify
might
not
they'll
be
eligible
to
serve
when
they're
for
legal
neighborhood,
legal
services
and
ebony
law
will
provide
tangled
title
services
and
neighborhood
legal
will
be
the
sole
provider
for
foreclosure
prevention
services.
C
We
added
a
new
component
to
this
program
which
will
be
outreach
services,
and
so
the
hill
district
consensus
group
is
going
to
be
providing
outreach
services
for
the
program,
including
community
education,
helping
people
know
about
the
program
meeting
with
tenants
and
courts
and
providing
additional
housing
and
basic
needs
resources
to
residents
interested
in
the
legal
assistance
programs.
C
There
are
two
voting
items
for
the
board
today.
One
is
the
proposed
contract
amounts
on
the
screen,
but
additionally,
with
the
proposals
that
we
received
and
the
the
ongoing
need
for
legal
defense
with
housing,
we
are
also
asking
the
advisory
board
to
authorize
us
using
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
demonstration
line
item
to
make
this
program
a
one
million
dollar
budget.
C
F
C
Sure
give
me
one
quick.
Second
mark
sorry.
D
I
have
a
question:
I
see:
there's
a
a
200
000
x
to
from
demonstration
dollars
to
make
this
a
one
million
dollar
budget.
What's
the
current
line
item
at
for
the
demonstration
portion.
A
It's
on
a
slide
near
the
end.
I
think
it's
about
eight
hundred
thousand,
because
I
think
yeah
and
then
corey
o'connor
transferred
another
400
000
in.
A
F
Thought
we
had
used
councilman
o'connor's
additional
monies
in
last
month
on
the
project
in
squirrel
hill.
A
That's
already
been
moved.
You
can
see
on
this
slide.
Bettina
has
up
that
it
was
moved.
A
lot
of
it
was
moved
from
hsp
to
to
the
rental
gap
program,
but
you
can
see
that
750.
That
750
is
what
is
being
used
for
the
flats
on
forward
project.
A
F
Well,
you
know
that
the
math
on
that
works
out
to
750
dollars
roughly
a
a
family.
I
think
which
is
you
know
if
we
can
do
that.
F
I
think
that
that's
going
to
be
phenomenal,
it's
going
to
be
some
of
the
best
money
we
can
spend
if
we
can
keep
people
in
their
houses
and
not
add
to
the
to
the
folks
that
the
to
the
gap
that
we've
got
so
I'd
make
a
motion
to
to
approve
both
this
and
the
can
we
do
one
motion
or
do
we
need
two
separate
motions
on
the
funding
allocation.
F
A
B
B
I'm
sorry
was
that
councilman
kel
smith,
or
was
that
I
think
there
was
a
few
of
us.
B
B
Thank
you
all.
Those
in
favor.
G
B
I
just
additionally
like
to
comment
that
I'm
really
excited
about
the
slate
of
candidates
or
not
candidates,
but
of
providers
for
these
services.
That's
pretty
exciting
combination
of
folks,
I'm
so
excited
to
see
what
this
program
does
this
year.
C
Thank
you
advisory
board
just
wanted
to
give
a
quick
note
that
we
are
moving
at
light
in
speed
and
hope
to
launch
these
services
by
the
next
advisory
board
meeting.
C
Yes,
so,
as
probably
most
people
know,
the
federal
cdc
eviction
moratorium
was
set
to
expire
yesterday,
they
did
extend
it
through
june.
I
believe
with
some
modifications
to
the
rule.
So,
if
anyone's
really
interested,
we
can
send
around
the
documentation
for
that.
B
I
think
that'd
be
that'd,
be
nice
to
have
all
right
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
laura
murphy's.
Three
development,
which
is.
J
A
rental
house
yeah
good
morning,
everybody,
my
name,
is
sarah
shore,
I'm
a
lending
analyst
with
the
residential
lending
and
investments
unit.
This
morning,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
larimer,
s3
development,
laramie
phase
3
is
the
new
construction
of
a
mixed-use
building
with
32
new
apartments
and
4
800
square
feet
of
commercial
space,
as
well
as
the
new
construction
of
an
adjacent
five-unit
townhome
building,
and
today
we
will
be
asking
for
a
rental
gap
program
running
the
amount
of
650
000
in
hot
funding
to
fund
this
development.
J
So
if
you
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
just
to
walk
through
some
of
the
program
information,
the
borrower
is
a
single
purpose
entity,
that's
created
by
the
housing
authority,
mccormick
baron,
salazar
who's,
the
developer
and
tax
credit
investor,
which
is
ohio
capital.
J
You
can
see
the
location
on
the
slide
here,
but
it
includes
multiple
vacant
parcels
and
is
along
meadow
street
larimer
avenue,
winslow
street
and
stovener
way.
The
larimer
consensus
group
is
the
nonprofit
applicant
and
they
were
involved
pretty
heavily
in
the
project
of
development
for
all
four
phases.
J
J
This
is
this
larmor
phase.
Three
is
the
final
phase
in
a
four-phased
hud
choice,
neighborhoods
development
initiative
phases,
one
and
two
were
completed
in
2016
and
2018,
and
they
brought
a
total
of
235
housing
units
to
the
larimer
neighborhood
in
2021
january
of
2021,
phase
four
closed
on
financing
and
the
development
team
has
begun
to
rehabilitate
the
historic
glamour
school
building.
So
this
will
bring
this
phase.
Four
will
bring
42
additional
units
of
mixed
income
housing,
as
well
as
about
10
000
square
feet
of
commercial
space
into
the
larva
neighborhood.
J
With
this
three-story
mixed-use
building
and
the
town
home
I
mentioned
these
three
will
bring
an
additional
42
units
to
the
neighborhood
of
housing.
So,
at
the
end
of
the
choice,
neighborhoods
project,
at
the
end
of
all
four
phases,
there
will
have
been
created.
319
units
of
housing
and
232
of
these
units
would
be
affordable
to
households.
At
or
below,
60
percent,
ami
so
of
phase
3
units,
specifically
9,
will
be
market
rate
units.
J
The
remaining
33
will
be
affordable
units
just
to
go
into
that
breakdown.
A
little
bit.
Five
of
these
units
will
be
for
20
ami
households.
17
of
these
units
will
be
for
50
percent.
Ami
households
and
11
units
will
be
for
60
ami
households
and
as
a
result
of
the
requested
funding
today,
a
deed
restriction
will
be
recorded
on
17
of
the
units.
Five
will
be
affordable
to
30
percent.
Ami
and
12
will
be
affordable
to
50
ami,
so
just
to
walk
you
through
the
bedroom
counts.
J
Briefly,
too,
there
will
be
31
one
bedroom
units,
four
two
bedroom
units
and
seven
three
bedroom
units,
and
because
it
is
important
to
this
committee
and
important
to
pittsburgh,
development
in
general,
15
of
the
units
will
be
accessible
and
visitable.
J
Corporation
david
serbin
was
recently
voted
in
as
the
director
of
peidc
and
the
mass
release
is
still
being
developed
for
the
commercial
space,
but
it's
been
anticipated
that
peidc
will
lease
the
space
for
one
dollars
per
year
and
a
tenant
has
not
been
identified
for
the
space
yet,
but
I
know
david
serbin
and
the
business
solutions
team,
the
development
services
team,
as
well
as
the
larimer
consensus
group.
I've
put
a
lot
of
time
already
into
identifying
a
tenant.
The
thought
is
to
issue
an
rfi
for
the
space.
J
The
project's
total
development
costs
are
a
little
over
19
million
to
fund
this
project.
Larimer
3
received
20
29,
low
income,
housing
tax
credits
mbs.
The
developer
will
continue
to
use
hud
choice,
funds
for
the
remainder
of
this
phase,
and
the
project
is
also
receiving
phfa,
fair
funds
and
pretty
substantial
housing
authority
investment.
J
J
It's
a
cash
flow
loan.
It
will
have
an
interest
rate
of
zero
percent
and
a
term
of
40
years.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
as
a
stipulation
of
the
spending,
a
deed
restriction
will
take
place
on
17
of
these
units
and
I
think
here's
a
site
plan
and
drawing.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
you
can
see
amenities
for
for
the
space.
You
can
see.
These
three
is
outlined
in
red
there
and
the
other
relevant
phases
are
kind
of
highlighted.
J
So
with
that,
I
guess
I'll
turn
it
over
to
lindsey
evans,
who
is
a
representative
from
mbs
who's
here
today.
I
don't
know
if
she
has
anything
she
wants
to
add,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
accessibility,
or
you
know,
the
neighborhood
at
large.
K
Good
morning,
everyone
this
is
lindsay
from
mccormack
baron,
salazar,
sarah.
That
was
great.
I
think
you
hit
all
of
the
major
points
and
thank
you
for
presenting
that
information.
I
K
Sure
the
tenant
selection
is
a
multi-faceted
approach.
This
is
a
choice
neighborhood
so,
first
and
foremost,
any
displaced
residents
have
priority
to
return
to
their
housing,
and
the
project
does
include
pbv
units
project,
page
thousand
units
that
are
attached
to
that
choice
returning
option.
The
other
aspect
of
resident
selection
is
based
on
income
and
eligibility.
K
K
Exclusionary
criteria
is
fully
in
line
with
fair
housing
requirements.
So
really
it's
just
anything
based
on
not
meeting
the
application
requirements.
But
beyond
that
there
aren't
a
whole.
A
I
I
Are
we
creating
barriers
to
housing
and
I'm
not
suggesting
that
this
development
is?
But
I
think
it
is
something
that
is
the
hof
we
might
want
to
look
at
as
we
go
forward
with
applications.
What
the
selection
criteria
are
in
a
bit
more
detail
so
that
we
can
ensure
that
we're
not
replicating
barriers
that
have
existed
in
the
affordable
housing
community
in
the
past.
A
Yeah
adrian,
this
is
jessica
and
anis.
Anisa
is
on
from
the
housing
authority
and
lindsay,
of
course,
and
they
can
probably
talk
about
tennis
election
in
more
detail.
But
I
I
will
say
one
thing
about
this
particular
project:
being
choice,
neighborhood
and
the
premise
of
choice
neighborhood
for
those
of
you
that
are
newer
to
committee,
the
premise
for
choice:
neighborhood
is
housing
people
neighborhood.
So
when
the
housing
authority
mccormick
baron
got
this
award
in
2014,
it
was
for
all
three
of
those
components.
A
Four
million
was
specifically
set
aside
for
the
people
initiative,
so
those
137
households
that
were
there
originally
have
received
intensive
supportive
services
over
the
last
seven
years
and
lindsay
can
probably
speak
to
this
more
than
I
can.
A
The
planning
for
this
was
done
a
couple
years
before
that,
and
it's
super
exciting
that
this
is
the
last
phase
like
this.
Is
you
know,
333
units
in
of
the
tina?
If
you
can
go
back
like
two
slides
there's
a
picture,
I
just
want
to
focus
on
yeah
right
here.
No,
not
the
one
you
had
that
one
like
you
can
see.
A
This
is
the
new
building,
but
on
the
side,
that's
the
larmor
school
that
you
see
there
and
and
for
those
of
you,
like,
I,
everybody
drive
by
right
now,
because
you
see
so
much
construction
going
on
with
the
infrastructure
and
then
that
larmor
school
has
sat
vacant
for
decades
in
the
community.
A
So
now
we're
going
to
have
the
school
occupied
with
housing
and
commercial
space,
and
then
this
building
you
see
here
will
have
the
commercial
space
on
the
ground
floor
and
the
housing.
And
if
you
go
down
just
a
couple
blocks
down
larmer,
that's
where,
like
all
the
other
units
are
so
150
units
and
phase
two
coming
right
out
of
back
of
the
target
parking
lot
and
then
85
units
in
the
first
phase
and
you'll
also
see
the
brand
new
park
with
the
playground
equipment
in
and
it's
super
exciting
everybody
can't
wait.
A
You
know
for
us
to
put
that
fence
down
with
which
we're
getting
close
so
with
the
weather.
Breaking
it's
just
going
to
be
a
tremendous
asset
for
the
city,
so
I
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
to
to
put
that
out
there
that
this.
This
is
it.
This
is
the
end,
and
this
is
you
know,
truly
a
revitalization
that
has
built
333
units.
I
Jessica-
and
I
think
this
project
is
a
great
time
to
focus
because
we
heard
about
20
ami,
which
we
haven't
heard
in
any
project,
you
know
we're
hearing
about
these
choice
dollars
which
again
we're
we've
rarely
heard
about
in
projects.
So
I
think
when
we're,
when
we're
having
these
great
moments
to
highlight
is
a
good
time
for
us
to
revisit.
A
Yes-
and
you
know
to
adrian
and
others
that
that
function
is
filled
a
lot,
I
will
say
that
as
a
city,
you
know
we're
looking
at
because
of
the
resources
that
came
in
for
choice
and
for
the
people
initiative.
How
do
we
duplicate
those
people
initiatives?
A
G
L
I
said
I
have
a
question
since
you've
been
involved
with
this
for
some
time
of
those
residents
that
have
received
the
intensive
services,
the
alarm
or
residents
that
have
been
up
there.
I
don't
know
what
the
original
number
was.
How
many
of
those
folks
have
now
been
re?
What's
the
word
reintroduced
to
their
neighborhood.
M
You
mean
like
brought
back
to
the
neighbor,
brought
back
to
the
right
to
lauren,
so
I
mean
I
could
jump
in
so
all
the
people
I
mean,
I
think,
there's
like
only
a
handful
of
people
who
made
chose
to
not
come
back,
but
everyone
there
was.
There
was
a
lot
of
engagement,
a
lot
of
touch
points
because
of
the
choice,
neighborhoods
project.
M
You
know
everyone
has
the
right
to
return
and
urban
strategies
did
a
great
job
working
with
the
people
and
housing
authority
to
ensure
that
we
kept
kept
in
contact
with
all
the
residents.
And
you
know
I
was
there,
but
I
was
working
on
this
project
before
I
was
at
the
housing
authority.
M
So
I
want
to
just
echo
jessica's
points
that
it
was
so
exciting
to
see
people
from
east
liberty
gardens
as
well
as
hamilton
larmer,
because
this
one
included
people
who
were
not
housing,
30
residents
per
se,
but
they
were
in
a
footprint
and
they
were
given
the
opportunity
to
move
back
so
and
then
the
people
are
excited
about
that
as
well.
So.
M
L
I
was
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
how
many
folks,
you
know,
say:
okay,
this
is
my
community.
I'm
coming
back
or
I'm
still
here.
Do
we
have
any
sense
of
what
percentage
like?
What
does
that
look
like?
I
know,
they've
been
engaged
and
some
folks
said.
No.
I've
made
my
bones
elsewhere,
but
do
we
have
a
sense
of?
How
are
we
thinking
about
the
sets
other
than
a
lot
of
them?.
K
Sorry
knowledge-
I
was
just
going
to
chime
in
that.
Basically,
with
the
same
answer,
I
I'm
happy
to
follow
up
with
the
case
manager
at
urban
strategies,
we're
working
closely
with
them
on
both
alarm
or
one
and
two
that
are
fully
occupied
and
then
three
and
four
lease
up
as
well,
and
we
are
happy
to
provide
the
data
on
the
people
program
that
is
presented
to
hud
on
a
monthly
basis.
The
numbers
are
not
the
tip
of
my
tongue,
but
knowledge's.
K
Point
of
every
single
resident
that
was
interested
in
returning,
which
is
a
very
high
percentage
of
the
residents
that
were
displaced,
has
chosen
to
return
and
was
supported
in
that
process
and
a
point
of
clarification
on
urban
strategy's
work.
Is
they
provide
supportive
services
to
all
residents,
not
just
returning
residents,
so
every
resident
of
the
larm
or
east
liberty
cni
has
access
to
those
supportive
services
through
urban
strategies
and
that
program
is
funded
through
the
compliance
period
of
the
tax
credit
program
through
operating
budget.
K
So
it
is
fully
funded
for
the
future
of
the
project
and
and
will
not
be
going
away
anytime
soon.
L
Right
so
I'm
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
how
so
jessica
said.
You
know,
as
we
think
about
you
know,
it's
unlikely
that
we're
going
to
have
the
opportunity
to
have
choice,
fund
dollars
in
other.
You
know
other
parts
of
the
city
anytime,
soon
at
scale.
So
as
we're
thinking
about
how
we
think
about
success
and
success
in
my
mind
would
be
that
folks
want
to
return
to
the
place
where
they
were
displaced
from
like.
So
if
we
were
thinking
about
okay,
how
do
we
solve
that
problem
elsewhere
without
choice
dollars?
K
Sure
I
would
say
personally
and
and
honestly
professionally
100
is
the
goal
and
that's
the
goal
for
urban
strategies
and
specifically
the
choice
program.
But
you
know
it
has.
It
has
been
met
that
goal
of
100
return.
If
a
resident
wants
to
return,
they
have
been
given
the
opportunity
to
return
and
we'd
be
happy
to
share
our
experience
with
funding
sources
across
the
country
that
have
been
implemented
for
these
types
of
supportive
services.
L
I
think
there's
still
value
in
the
folks
who
chose
not
to
return
and
understanding.
Okay,
what
supportive
services
help
those
folks
acclimate
to
another
place
where
they
feel
like
they're,
thriving
or
have
an
opportunity
to
do
better.
So
I
think
it's
it's
both
it's
not
just.
The
only
way
to
think
about
success
is
that
everyone
returned.
L
A
And
the
county
lindsey
kirkman
from
here,
but
the
county
department
of
human
services
has
been
very
involved
in
this
too.
I
mean
I
actually
works
with
them.
Correct.
K
Absolutely
the
allegheny
county
department
of
human
services
is
the
transition
manager
for
the
grant.
So
becky
gloninger
is
the
main
contact
at
dhs
and
is
specifically
the
person
who
has
been
involved
in
the
choice
project
since
before
2014
and
has
worked
with
those
residents.
So
urban
strategies
has
a
team
attached
to
the
project
right
now
and
dhs
is
the
transition
manager
to
the
ongoing
operations.
A
K
F
Yeah,
I
did
it,
you
know,
I
think
the
project
is
great
if
you
know,
and
if
we're
really
getting
that
number
of
folks
returning,
you
know
on
the
north
side,
we
didn't
have
that
with
some
other
projects
that
had
happened.
You
know
decades
ago
that
a
lot
of
folks
went
up
not
returning
to
to
the
neighborhood.
F
So,
what's
going
on
with
that
and
having
people,
you
know
have
that
real
choice
and
and
really
are
able
to
come
back
is
fantastic.
You
know
some
of
those
numbers
are
as
high
as
as
we're
talking
about
and
that's
where
the
project
winds
up.
My
my
question
is
about
where,
where
does
this
is
alone?
And
maybe
this
is
generic
to
all
the
projects
that
we're
doing
loans
on?
Where
does
the
repayments
go
like
at
the
to
the
ura?
F
Do
they
come
back
through
the
housing
opportunity
fund,
shoot
or
you
know
what
happens
to
those
funds
when
they're
repaid.
A
Yes,
so
so,
when
they're
repaid,
they
will
come
back
to
the
ura
and
they
would
be
treated
as
housing,
opportunity,
fund
repayment
income-
and
you
know
we
we
would
report
them
as
such.
F
A
F
F
F
A
G
J
B
Okay,
next
up
on
the
agenda,
is
advisory
board
administrative
items,
we're
going
to
start
with
a
report
out
of
our
first
fair
housing
committee
meeting
lena.
N
K
N
So
yeah,
I
think
we
all
acknowledge
the
importance
of
defining
what
this
looks
like
and
there's
sort
of
a,
not
conflict,
but
the
the
macro
level.
Thinking
of
seeing
everything
through
the
fair
housing
lens
versus
like
defining
actual
metrics,
that
impact
our
work,
that's
sort
of
where
we
ended
up
so
kelly.
Do
you
want
to
add
anything
to
that
or
adrian
or
derek.
B
Sure,
I
guess
what
I
would
add
to
that
is
that
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
fair
housing
from
a
legal
framework
and
then
also
fair
housing,
as
we
think
of
it
as
broadly
meaning
things
that
are
equitable
and
just
and
how
we
want
to
use
the
expanded
lens
and
not
just
you
know,
protected
class.
You
know
just
the
protected
classes
and
we're
trying
to
identify.
B
I
think
what
came
out
to
be
about
five
things
that
we
want
to
keep
in
mind
to
kind
of
use
as
a
grid
to
lay
all
of
our
programs
and
services
over
which
would
be
protected
classes
economics
which
right
is
not
necessarily
a
protected
class.
So
again
the
expanded
view,
access
to
resources
targeting
and
then
the
overall
impact
on
the
on
all
communities
involved
of
our
actions.
B
So
I
guess
that's
the
only
additional
piece
that
I
have.
We
also
were
discussing
adding
building
in
a
fair
housing
piece
and
and
brief
report
from
the
fair
housing
partnership
into
every
meeting,
so
that
if
there
is
something
so
that
megan
and
or
their
housing
partnership
is
not
just
public
comment
but
kind
of
hey.
B
This
is
what's
going
on
the
scope
of
either
nationally
or
locally,
as
it
relates
to
fair
housing
to
help
us
center
our
work,
so
that
if
there
is
something
in
our
agenda
that
they
want
to
dive
into
specifically
they're,
not
precluded
from
that
by
having
already
spent
there
from
doing
one
or
the
other,
because
they
have
three
minutes.
So
those
are
some
of
the
things
you
know
my
only
additions
to
lena's
overview.
D
Just
one
more
thing:
we
also
discussed
that
you
know
the
fair
housing
discussion
and
lens
reaches
beyond
just
housing
that
that
it
touches
on.
You
know,
economics,
you
know,
homeownership,
you
know
really
just
just
everything,
so
even
even
the
organizations
that
that
we
contract
with
so
so
that
it
really
needs
to
touch
on
everything,
not
just
from
a
programmatic
level
but
from
a
systemic
kind
of
institutionalized
level,
so
that
those
are
just
part
of
our
discussion
as.
B
B
B
What
I
guess
would
be
ex
officio
members,
which
would
be
like
megan
con
for
hammond,
because
the
bylaws
do
state
that,
in
order
to
be
a
full
member
of
an
of
a
committee,
you
do
need
to
be
an
advisory
board
member.
But
there
are
other
people
who
have
expertise
that
we
would
like
to
bring
to
the
table.
So
we're
looking
to
see
what
that
expanded
list
may
look
like
so
we're
taking
suggestions
for
that
as
well
and
generating
a
list
of
suggestions
amongst
ourselves.
B
But
our
next
meeting
will
be
later
this
month,
but
we
doodle
pole
pending.
So
that's
our
next
steps
for.
B
Okay,
well,
if
there's.
I
B
Else,
there's
we
wanted
to
just
go
back
to
our
discussion
last
month
about
additional
committees,
because
if
fair
housing
is
in
everything,
we
can't
actually
do
the
work
of
every
of
you
know
this
core
team
can't
do
absolutely
everything.
B
I
do
believe
that
we
discussed
eliminate
taking
the
rfp
committee
off
of
the
list.
I
believe,
was
the
consensus
of
the
last
meeting
and
moved
towards
more
of
a
scoring
model
around
different
criteria,
but
we
can
have
discussion
about
that.
If
that's
not
everyone
else's
understanding,
but
we
do
want
to
have
conversation
about
these
other
potential
committees
and
whether
or
not
we
want
to
create
them.
If
we
want
to
create
them,
then
populating
them
with
amongst
ourselves
and
then
moving
forward.
B
So
first
one
was
marketing
and
outreach
focusing
on
underserved
markets.
I
believe
this
is
where
some
of
that
affirmatively
furthering
fair
housing
piece
would
come
in
when
we're
talking
about
to
adrian's
earlier
question
about
hey:
how
are
you
finding
these
tenants?
What's
the
criteria?
How
are
you
marketing
to
them?
I
believe,
would
go
under
here.
B
Sustainability
committee
make
sure
that
we
there
were
two
different
aspects
that
we
were
talking
about,
that
one
potentially
being
sustainability
in
terms
of
being
able
to
stay
in
your
home,
for
you
know
indefinitely
as
long
as
you
want
to
be
there
and
then
the
other,
obviously
being
more
green
initiative
so
that
we're
staying
building
and
creating
and
renovating
a
way
that
is
green
so
that
for
healthy
for
healthy
communities,
then
the
last
one
is
wealth,
building
initiatives
and
homeowner
opportunities,
and
this
kind
of
comes
back
to
some
of
those
pieces
that
derek
had
mentioned
in
terms
of
thinking
beyond
just
the
housing
itself.
B
But
what
does
that
mean
from
a
banking
perspective?
What
is
it?
How
are
we
going
to
close
or
do
anything
equitable
about
the
homeownership
gap,
knowing
how
the
banking
industry,
you
know
how
the
banking
industry
is
so
we
have
to
perhaps
go
a
little
bit
further
upstream
as
well
for
this.
So
these
are.
These.
Are,
I
think,
the
the
three
that
jump
out
at
me
as
what
we
should
perhaps
dive
into?
First,
obviously,
we
can
eliminate
some
add
two,
but
that's
just
a
starting
place
where
I
want
to
discuss
additional.
B
I
I
To
then
be
adding
on
subcommittees
just
feels
a
little
overwhelming
at
the
moment,
and
I
may
be
the
only
board
member
thinking
that
and
again
all
of
these
are
going
to
inform
that
larger
planning
that
the
advisory
needs
to
do
overall.
But
I
think
that
there's
still
burning
questions
about
how
we
operate
and
how
we're
using
funding
in
our
criteria
related
to
putting
out
rfps
and
approving
those
as
a
group,
I'm
just
trying
to
wrap
my
brain
around
also
operationalizing
all
these
committees.
I
D
I
was
just
going
to
add
also
with
the
fair
housing
committee
really
just
just
launching
I
feel
like
you
know
that
foundationally
will
will
drive
you
know
and
and
further
define
what
committees
are
needed
like
it
seems
like
wealth
buildings
should
come
out
of.
You
know,
policies
and
decisions.
You
know
that
come
from
the
career
housing
committee
same
with
sustainability.
D
So
when
I
think
about
sustainability,
I
think
of
things
like
environmental
justice.
I
also
think
of
you
know
the
green
and
the
built
environment.
Things
like
that.
You
know
which
again
is
directly
connected
to
fair
housing.
So
I
feel
like
let
fair
housing,
you
know
define
some
of
these.
They
see
things
a
little
bit
more
and
then
we
maybe
revisit
sustainability
wealth
building.
D
If
anything-
and
I
agree,
I
think
the
consensus
was
to
eliminate
the
rfp
committee
and
go
more
towards
scoring
if
anything,
marketing
and
outreach
may
seem
like
you
know,
okay
to
to
start
now,
because
we
can,
you
know,
get
the
word
out
about
existing
programs
existing
you
know,
services
etc,
but
yeah.
I
think
I
think
I
don't
think
we
should.
We
should
add
too
much
more
so.
B
So
I'm
hearing
two
things
and
one
so
one
concern
that
I
have
speaking
of
bandwidth
is:
if
we
pack
everything
onto
the
fair
housing
committee,
then
where
is
the
bandwidth
of
that
organization
of
that
committee?
If
it's
also
thinking
about
these
other
things,
so
that's
just
one
ban
one,
one
bandwidth,
I
guess
counterpoint
or
question,
and
the
second
is
it
sounds
like
I'm
hearing
what
may
be
a
subcommittee
around
operations
for
the
advisory
board.
If
that's
an
ongoing
concern
of
how
are
we
going
to
do
these
things?
B
That's
not
something
that
we're
necessarily
going
to
be
able
to
dive
into
and
make
on
the
spot
recommendations
on
these
monthly
calls,
as
you
know,
as
a
body
while
we're
moving
forward
with
additional
business.
So
those
are
just
two
things
that
I'm
that
I'm
hearing
that
I
want
to
feedback
out
to
to
the
group
as
potential
concerns
or
suggestions.
D
Well,
just
for
from
my
perspective,
I
certainly
don't
think
the
fair
housing
committee
can
or
has
the
bandwidth
to
try
to
do
everything.
I
don't
think,
that's
the
intent.
I
think
it's
really
to
develop
a
certain
set
of
metrics.
D
That
can,
you
know,
really
help
you
know,
influence
and
be
incorporated
into
additional
subcommittees,
but
those
metrics
really
are
almost
like
a
prerequisite
to
help
define
some
of
these
other
subcommittee's
work.
H
I
also
want
to
say
I'm
not
sure
where
this
fits,
but
as
we
talk
about
operations,
maybe-
and
as
I
mean
I
think
this
obviously,
I
need
to
always
focus
on
underserved
markets
when
we're
talking
about
implementation
of
our
programs.
But
it
feels
like
there's
a
bottleneck
already
in
our
implementation,
like
it's,
not
an
outreach
or
a
knowledge
question
on
potential
clients
or
customers,
but
that
we
have
a
bottleneck
on
our
end
and
and
also
in
making
sure
that
people
get
the
right
information
from
from
2-1-1
from
ura
staff.
H
D
Sonia,
are
you
suggesting
a
committee
to
look
at
existing,
you
know,
programs
and
and
how
we
could
you
know,
improve
improve
upon
some
of
the
processes.
H
I
just
I
think
that,
as
we
think
about
this
marketing
and
outreach,
we
just
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
piling
on
to
a
different
problem
right.
We
can
reach
out
to
people
and
make
sure
that
they
are
understanding
our
where
the
programs
we
can
make
sure
that
they
even
submit
applications.
But
if
we
have
a
bottleneck,
someplace
else
and
those
applications
don't
get
processed,
do
we
really.
H
F
Well,
I
I
guess
I
would
kind
of
look
at
yeah.
This
is
a
lot
to
look
at
right
at
this.
Second,
you
know,
I
think
fair
housing
has
got
to
be
a
metric
that
we're
using
we're,
measuring
and
we're
judging
outcomes
and
whether
we've
succeeded
or
not,
and
whether
the
partners
we've
picked
are
succeeding
in
that
metric
stuff
feeds
into
rfps
we're
going
to
be
doing
rfps
this
year.
You
know
we're
going
to
have
a
competitive
process,
so
that
doesn't
have
to
be
a
heavy
lift,
but
we
should
be
looking
at
that.
F
You
know
it
would
be
great
to
have
a
group
that
you
know
could
dig
in
to
some
of
this
stuff
with
the
staff
to
get
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
hey
here's,
the
sort
of
things
that
we're
looking
at.
I
think
we've
got
kind
of
a
start,
whether
we
use
it
or
not.
We
we
started
out
with
a
scoring
metric
that
we
really
didn't
need
to
use
because
it
wasn't
a
very
competitive
process.
F
As
we
had
money
to
give
out,
we
were
trying
to
get
projects
moving
quickly,
so
that
kind
of
makes
sense.
I
I
hear
what
adrian's
saying
is
that
it's
really
sort
of
an
operational
piece.
You
know
that's
something
that
I
would
actually
look
for:
some
staff,
jessica
and
the
staff,
and
we
certainly
staffed
up.
Let's
get
some
guidance
for
what
they
think
are
the
the
strengths
and
the
weaknesses
or
what
we've
got
to
look
at
and
try
to
address
as
an
advisory
board.
F
You
know
if
we've
got
bottlenecks,
you
know,
does
that
take
more
resources
to
eliminate
the
bottlenecks
or
have
we
just
not
got
the
right
partner
or
is
it
a
problem
that
we
can't
solve
here
and
kind
of
looking
at
those
things
strategically,
but
I
would
say
that
the
rfd
and
the
fair
housing
are
two
things
that
we
have
some
time
push
on,
be
just
the
nature
of
where
we're
at
with
the
with
the
fund.
B
And
that's,
I
guess
kind
of
the
urgency
that
I
have
is
that
we
are
into
2021
dollars
in
a
competitive
process
next
month,
and
so,
if
we
don't
have
any
metrics
around
any
of
these
things
built
into
that
process,
then
when
do
we
implement
it
do
do
we
start
getting
money
out
the
door
for
2021
without
these
things
in
place
and
then
try
to
catch
up
later,
and
you
know
we're
just.
We
were
just
a
little
bit
challenged
from
from
that
aspect
of
we're.
You
know
we're
into
20
21
next
next
month,.
G
B
Again,
we
will
need
some
some
ura
staff
support
on
this,
but
to
that
end
you
know
we
do
have.
We
did
have
patina
present
on
our
fair
housing
call,
and
I
imagine
that
you
know
with
scheduling
if
we
can
get
them
noticed,
somebody
from
the
ura
staff
will
be
present
and
able
to
dive
in
with
anybody
on
any
of
these
issues.
F
Well,
I
think
that
fair
housing,
you
know
it's
got
to
focus
on.
You
know
the
program.
However,
you
guys
are
deciding
as
a
committee
to
recommend
how
we
focus
on
that.
It
doesn't
mean
that
that
stuff
can't
get
plugged
into
the
rfp
process,
but
the
rfp.
You
know,
I
think
we
need
to
look
there's
other
things
that
are
in
the
rp.
F
F
That
would
be
awesome
if
we
could
get
something
like
that
next
month,
to
start
at
least
to
see
it
and
start
looking
at
it.
So
I
I
don't
know
how
how
you
want
to
perceive
it.
I
would
say
that
the
two
committees
we
need
now
are
rfp
and
fair
housing,
and
it's
you
know
it's
not
a
silo.
It's
that
the
fair
housing
stuff
needs
to
look
at
what
criteria
needs
to
be
included
in
the
rfp
around
fair
housing.
B
Is
that
a
motion
to
form
a
to
form
in
our
committee
to
look
at
our
rfp
and
scoring
process.
I
G
D
I
think
I
think
you
you
touched
on
a
lot
that
I
was
thinking
you
know
rfp,
I
think
the
name
is
is
somewhat
somewhat.
You
know
confusing
or
you
know
complicated
because
again,
like
specifically
with
with
some
of
the
some
of
the
programs,
you
know
if
if
it
does
go
to
rp-
and
I
think
this
is
why
we
decided
to
go
away
from
rfp
and
focus
more
on
scoring
it
could
it
could
actually
cause
problems
with
projects
moving
forward.
D
B
Well,
I
think
if
anybody
has
any
name
renaming
suggestions,
we
can
take
those
into
account
before
and
and
then
name
have
a
motion
to
name
for
whatever
the
name
of
the
committee
is
looking
at
these
issues.
M
What
derek
was
saying
as
far
as
the
scoring
versus
the
rfp
process
as
it
relates
to
like
I
was
under
the
impression
that
there
are
some
there
were
some
projects
based
off
of
line
tech
and
based
off
of
already
in
city,
and
you
already
invested
time
and
money
that
it
just
made
sense
to
come
up
towards
the
board
earlier.
So
I
thought
that's
why
we
leaned
away
from
the
rfp
process,
but
the
scoring
process.
M
I
think
mark,
has
mentioned
this
before,
and
I
know
the
ura
does
a
good
job
of
actually
scoring
the
products
before
we
see
them.
So
I
think
that's
what
you
all
are
speaking
about,
and
if
that
is
the
case,
then
are
we
saying?
B
I
think
the
the
the
conversation
was
around
what
that
was
around.
Maybe
the
rubric
itself
is:
are
we
does
the
rubric
have
do
we
want
to
add
additional
pieces?
Are
the
right
pieces
in
there
so
that
when
they
come
up
with
a
recommendation,
is
it
based
on
the
questions
that
we
want
the
answers
to,
and
I
think
that's
what
the
conversation
was
about?
Is
it
advancing
our
goals
as
a
hof,
as
we
determine
as
an
advisory
board?
Of
course,
consistent
with
legislation
and
whatnot.
D
And
clearly,
fair
housing
is
important
to
all
of
us
so
that
you
know
ensuring
that
that
that's
robust
and
baked
in
in
a
comprehensive
way.
So
so
that
alone,
what
would
change
the
the
metric
to
some
degree.
B
I'm
sure
people
who
were
living
and
breathing
in
the
sustainability
space
would
have
additional
you
know.
Is
it
the
equivalent
of
a
harmony
pain?
I
don't
know,
but
there's
something
like
that,
that
they
would
probably
want
to
put
into
the
scoring
metric
that
fair
housing
folks
would
not
necessarily
have,
but
we
don't
want
to
go
through.
Another
year,
perhaps
without
having
those
things
built
into
our
scoring
metrics,
I'm
not
sure
if
we've
ever
as
a
committee
dove
deeply
into
that,
maybe
we
want
to
have
an
all-committee.
B
You
know
special
session
to
do
this
rather
than
form
another
committee,
but
I
do
think
it's
something
that
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
this
spring
as
it
gets
more
competitive
and
it's
more
of
a
howl
to
do
this
than
than
a
then
should
we.
D
I'm
in
support
of
a
you
know
special
session.
I
can't
join
another
committee,
but
I
definitely
have
a
lot
to
offer
and
sustainability
space
is
really.
You
know
looking
at
things
like
climate
control,
how
how
you
know
one
of
the
biggest
polluters
to
our
environment
is
actually
homes,
but
you
know
what
can
we
do
to
help
to
reduce
the
carbon
footprint?
D
It
looks
at
things
like
green
development.
You
know
things
like
passive
house,
you
know
reducing
energy
efficiency
which
ultimately
reduces
utility
costs
and
living
expenses
for
residents
which
improves
their
quality
of
life.
You
know
and
then
other
green
development
principles
and
practices.
D
So
if
it's
a
special
session,
I
certainly
would
look
to
attend
and
provide
some
input,
but
I
also
want
to
put
on
a
table
and
challenge
us
to
think
about
sustainability
beyond
green
development
and
the
built
environment
to
sustainability
of
you
know,
programs
sustainability,
like
you,
know,
we're
helping
families
with
the
the
hsp
program.
You
know
you
know
how
how
are
some
of
the
the
the
organizations
helping
to
ensure
that
you
know
the
family
is
actually
being
in
a
better
place?
D
You
know
so
so
just
things
like
that
to
help
drive
sustainability
from
those
perspectives.
You
know,
I
think
we
need
to
think
about
as
well,
so
yeah
just
want
to
kind
of
expand
that
thought
process
beyond
green
development.
N
I
think
we
also
might
be
a
little
farther
ahead
of
where
we
think
we
are.
I
mean
I,
I've
responded
to
the
application
for
rental
gap
and
it
has
a
lot
of
requirements
attached
to
it,
and
the
scoring
has
a
lot
of
metrics
related
to
sustainability.
I
mean
the
last
time
I
did
it.
It
was
using
the
p4
metric,
which
I
think
has
shifted
a
little
bit,
but
p4
was
very
comprehensive
at
looking
at
metrics
across
all
different
parts
of
sustainability.
N
So
I
don't
know
where
the
ura
is
going
to
end
up
with
that
with
the
new
rfp,
but
that
we
we've
already
have
a
lot
of
metrics
in
our
scoring
that
I
think,
cover
a
lot
of
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
and
I'm
not
saying
we
can't
go
farther,
but
I
think
I
think
we'll
be
surprised.
I
mean
I
haven't
seen
the
draft
rfp,
but
if
it's
based
on
what
I've
responded
to
in
the
past
it
does.
N
It
does
cover
a
lot
of
these
things,
and
I
agree
with
derek
I
don't
I
don't
know
if
we
need
a
whole
committee.
I
think
if
the
ura
said
now,
because
the
rfp
is
just
for
the
rental
gap,
is
that
correct?
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
understanding
well.
B
I
think
that's
part
of
the
the
conversation
is
around
how
we're
scoring
all
of
our
projects
if
it's
rental
gap,
if
it's
the
homeowner
initiative,
that
we
put
a
lot
of
money
into
not
a
lot
of
units
on
black
street,
because
it
was
a
really
fancy.
You
know
project
from
a
sustainability
perspective.
So
so
I
think
that's
part
of
the
conversation
is
what
are
what's
our
criteria
for
the
different
programs?
B
How
are
we
deciding
what's
recommended
and
what
isn't
and
diving
into
that
criteria,
but
I
think
a
special
session
would
work
at
least
preliminarily
and
seeing,
if
that
you
know
what's
outstanding
and
if
there's
more
work
than
can
be
accomplished
in
a
special
session,
then
we
know
you
know
whoever's
gung-ho
at
that
point
can
go
go
with
god
and
make
you
know,
form
a
committee.
B
Perhaps
I
don't
know
if
I'm
allowed
to
make
a
motion
or
if
I
need
to
wait
for
someone
else,
do
we
have
a
motion
around
a
special
session
to
dive
into
our
application
process
for
our
various
programs.
B
J
B
B
Okay.
Now
we
have
an
update
on
own
pittsburgh.
C
So
the
the
walk-on
item
I
want
to
to
request
is
to
amend
the
hsp
guidelines
in
december
of
last
year.
This
board
voted
to
increase
the
maximum
assistance
to
six
months
using
cdbg
funds
for
homeowners.
Only
I'm
asking
for
a
guideline
change
to
change
that
for
renters
as
well,
so
that
we
can
issue
more
assistance
using
the
cdpg
funds.
C
The
request
is
to
extend
the
time
frame
for
renters
from
three
months
to
six
months.
Oh.
F
B
It's
quiet,
hi,
okay,
like
other
than
mark
all
right,
any
opposed
abstentions.
B
B
All
right
and
now
own
pgh.
A
Yes,
so
this
is
just
a
quick
update,
I'm
not
sure
if
any
of
the
advisory
board
members
were
watching
the
ura
board
meeting
last
month,
but
at
the
board
meeting
we
talked
about
a
new
program
that
the
ura
is
rolling
out
called
own
pgh,
which
is
really
a
focus
on.
You
know:
affordable
home.
A
You
know
the
this
advisory
board
has
talked
about
the
disparity
in
the
city,
between
the
races
and
and
the
percentage
of
home
ownership,
and
the
ura
really
wants
to
begin
to.
You
know,
focus
on
this
issue
and
tackle
this
issue,
so
we
went
to
the
board
last
month
for
a
bond
inducement,
which
is
really
just
the
first
action
to
enable
the
ura
to
pursue
the
issuance
of
a
bond
which
would
be
used.
A
The
proceeds
of
the
bond
would
be
used
to
fund
mortgages
throughout
the
city
through
our
banking
partners,
and
the
ura
would
bring
some
of
its
own
funding
to
the
table
for
second
position
mortgages,
and
when
we
had
talked
about
this
at
the
board.
You
know
we
are
like.
I
said
in
the
early
stages.
We
were
looking
at
potentially
doing
this
really
to
to
help
with
acquisition
rehab,
because
there
is
a
is
a
need
for
that.
But,
as
we
all
know,
there's
also
a
need
to
to
be
able
to
get
houses
very
affordable.
A
So
currently,
right
now,
our
program
concepts
are
kind
of
as
follows:
to
increase
the
affordability
of
home
ownership
for
low
to
moderate
income
buyers
to
develop
a
first
mortgage
product
to
lower
traditional
lending
barriers
and
then
greater
leverage,
our
down
payment
program
and
potentially
other
second
mortgage
assistance
with
the
goal
of
writing
down
that
amount
of
the
first
mortgage,
so
that
people
of
lower
incomes
can
afford
the
first
mortgage
and
and
and
the
big
sort
of
one
one
of
the
big
things
here
is
by
doing
that
by
by
writing
down.
A
We
will
help
people
get
into
the
80
of
loan
to
value
so
that
they
will
not
need
mortgage
insurance,
and
that's
that
saves
a
pretty
sizable
monthly
amount,
also
to
provide
buyers
with
below
market
financing
for
needed
home
repairs
and
to
provide
first-time
homebuyer
education
and
support.
So
those
are
sort
of
the
goals
of
the
program
we
are
taking
this
next
month
to
to
kind
of
iron.
This
out,
and-
and
you
know
there
are
rules
that
we
need
to
follow.
A
I
mean
this
is
a
tax
exempt
bond
issuance,
so
so
there
are
some
irs
and
federal
rules
we
need
to
follow.
We
have
a
financial
advisor
that
is
helping
us
with
this,
but
we
are
trying
to
iron
out
those
program
concepts
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
everybody
a
heads
up.
We
would
like
to
take
the
month
to
do
this
and
take
program
guidelines
to
the
board
in
may
to
the
ura
board.
This
is
not
a
hof
advisory
board.
A
You
know
I,
I
won't
need
a
vote
at
the
advisory
board,
but
I
did
want
to
update
you
and
also
ask
if
anyone
is
interested
in
participating
in
any
you
know,
working
sessions
we
have
with
this.
A
lot
of
the
cdcs
have
expressed
interest
to
work
with
us
on
this,
we'll
be
holding
a
couple.
So
please
email
me
if
I
I
would
like
to
have
you
know
a
couple
representatives
from
the
housing
opportunity
fund
advisory
board
diamante-
I
don't
know
if
she's
still
on
or
not,
but
she
she
mentioned.
A
You
know
this
advisory
board
at
our
ura
board
meeting
as
well
as
being
critical
to
help
us.
You
know
figure
out
the
parameters.
Are
there
any.
F
Questions
jessica's
this.
You
know.
I
know
that
some
of
the
criterion
things
may
be
different,
but
the
the
way
the
the
bond
issue
works.
It's
it's
really
very
similar
to
how
the
p
hop
program
had
worked
in
years
past.
It's
a
mortgage
revenue.
Basically
it's
a
bond
issue.
You
can
get
maybe
a
lower
rate.
You
you
use
the
to
repay
the
bond
you're,
getting
mortgage
payments
that
will
go
to
repay
the
bond
holders
in
its
simplest
form.
A
So
yes,
so
mark
mentions
p
hop
to
pittsburgh
home
ownership
program.
That
was
the
name
of
our
previous
bond
issuance
program,
so
I
mean,
for
example,
I
can
tell
you
when
I
purchased
my
home
15
years
ago,
I
called
a
lender
and
the
lender
said:
oh,
you
might
qualify
for
the
city's,
you
know
first-time
homebuyer
program
and
that
lender
was
a
partner
of
the
ura.
A
I
didn't
know
that
at
the
time
or
anything
like
that,
but
but
they
were
a
partner
of
the
ura
right
and-
and
that's
that's
really,
the
intent
here
is.
If
somebody
we'll
work
on
getting
lenders,
we'll
get
four
or
five
lenders,
and
somebody
calls
one
of
those
mortgage
lenders.
You
know
and
tells
them
you
know
their
income
and
so
forth.
A
That
lender
should
say:
oh
you
could
qualify
for
this
and
then
the
only
thing
mark
I
would
say
is
this
is
probably
a
little
bit
for
those
of
us
that
have
been
around
a
while.
This
is
a
little
bit
quasi
between
p,
hop
and
hr
p.
Potentially
that's
what
we're
looking
at
those
of
you
that
are
around
with
hrp.
That
was
a
program
that
helped
people
acquire
rehab.
Our
board
has
expressed.
You
know,
interest
to
really
focus
in
on
affordability.
A
So
so
right
now
we're
kind
of
in
the
position
of
we
would
like
to
help
with
the
rehab,
but
we
really
want
to
help
with
the
affordability,
so,
in
addition
to
p-hop
type
of
first
mortgage,
what
can
the
ura
bring
to
the
table
in
the
form
of
a
second
mortgage
to
get
the
first
mortgage
even
lower
for
affordability
purposes,
and
is
there
a
way
to
partner
that
with
a
rehab
component?
That's
what
we're
looking
at
right
now,
with
the
focus
being,
you
know
probably
more
on
affordability
right
now.
F
I
think
you
know
it's
a
good
start
and
maybe
it's
something
that
we
can
yeah.
There
may
be
several
things
that
we
could
do
with
this.
To
get
this
to
accomplish
a
couple
of
goals.
Affordability,
definitely,
you
know
that's
just
a
matter
of
money
right.
So
how
do
we
find
more
money.
F
But
also
you
know,
starting
to
get
to
some
neighborhoods
that
we
haven't
had
a
lot
of
penetration,
maybe
in
development
like
redeveloping
vacant
and
abandoned
houses
or
or
you
know,
trying
to
do
new
construction
on
vacant.
City-Owned
lots
there's
a
lot
that
gets
packed
into
that.
F
But
maybe
this
is
if
this
is
going
to
be
kind
of
a
recurring
thing
that
we're
able
to
do-
and
you
know
we
should
be
figuring
out
what
happens
if
we
do
get
funds
for
affordable
housing
through
the
current
administration's
infrastructure
plan,
which
is
you
know,
that's
one
of
the
one
of
the
central
themes
of
it.
You
know,
let's,
let's
position
ourselves
to
succeed
in
the
city,
we
can
do
affordable
housing.
We
can
get
long
time
vacant
and
abandoned
buildings,
rehabbed
and
home,
affordable
homes
for
folks
so
know.
G
B
I
definitely
agree
with
agree
with
mark
and
also
you
know,
I'm
familiar
with
the
old
program,
and
I
really
do
like
the
idea
of
doing
what
we
can
to
incorporate
the
giving
community
folks
the
ability
to
rehab
houses
in
their
communities,
because
that
is
ties
directly
into
the
affordability
piece
is
who
can
afford
to
fix
that
house
in
your
community
and
what
are
they
going
to
sell
it
to
you
for
so
they're?
Really
they
really
are
intertwined,
and
I
you
know,
look
forward
to
conversations
about
about
that.
Moving
forward.
B
Okay,
and
now
I
guess
we
because
we
bumped
this
up
on
the
agenda-
would
be
programmatic
expenditures
and
impacts.
A
Sure
so
you
know
these
slides
are
working
process
but
tina's
been
creating
new
slides.
You
know
based
on
comments
from
device
reports,
so
here's
our
down
payment
slide.
The
way
I
have
my
screen.
I
have
everybody's
photos
in
front
of
it.
Okay,
so
so
here's
the
down
payment
slide
73
of
the
funding,
is
committed
right
now.
So
we
are,
you
know,
expanding
through
this
at
a
pretty
fast
rate.
I
mean
this
has
definitely
been
a
program
that
has
increased
since
coven.
You
can
see
193
households
served.
A
I
think
we
celebrated
our
100th
anniversary
like
last
summer,
so
we've
really
the
last
six
months
have
been
very
speedy
on
this
program
with
almost
100
households
helped
in
six
months
period
of
time,
and
you
can
see
sort
of
the
information
there.
A
And
then
homeowner
assistance
program,
you
know
we're
pretty
much
fully
committed
here.
We
still
we're
still
on
hold
for
the
acceptance
of
more
applications
until
we
can
work
through
our
waiting
list,
it's
taking
about
a
year
to
get
people
through
the
waiting
list
right
now,
232
households
are
served
through
this
program.
C
The
only
thing
to
report
here
and
we'll
have
a
little
bit
more
for
you
at
the
may
meeting
is
that
we
are
working
through
roofathon
2021,
which
is
happening
in
may
and
june
of
this
year.
So
we're
going
to
bring
those
contracts
to
you
next
month.
G
A
A
As
I
discussed
last
month
next
month,
you'll
probably
see
the
final
two
2020
tax
credit
deals,
but
but
we
have
been
told
by
some
cdc's
and
developers
that
that
they
are
working
on
applications
for
the
four-star
development
program
as
well.
N
So
jessica,
on
the
rental
gap,
because
development
takes
forever
we're-
probably
just
getting
to
the
point
where
some
of
these
projects
are
finished
and
it
would
be
really
exciting
for
us
as
a
board
to
see
photos,
or
I
know
we
haven't-
had
a
lot
of
ribbon
cuttings
because
of
covid.
But
I
just
know
this
because
center
avenue
is
one
of
the
first
funded
projects,
and
it's
almost
done
so.
I
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
ask
some
of
the
developers.
A
We
we
can
absolutely.
We
can
absolutely
do
that
and
that
that
actually
reminds
me
we
can
try
to
get
a
developer
to
for
for
each
meeting
for
the
next
couple
months
next
month.
Also
just
just
to
let
everybody
know,
we
also
will
probably
have
a
presentation
from
hra
advisors
who
have
been
hired
by
the
city
to
update
the
city's
needs
assessment
and
they
are
in
the
process
of
updating
that
and-
and
some
of
the
people
on
the
screen
here
are
part
of
the
city's.
A
Forging
pgh
working
groups
and
hra
is
helping
with
that,
but
they
did
specifically
request
to
to
meet
with
with
you.
Also
so
that'll
be
on
the
agenda
either
in
may
or
june.
Probably
may.
A
Next
slide:
here's
the
programmatic
expenditures
and
impacts.
So
you
know
you
can
see
the
the
this
does
not
include
2021
money.
We
do
not
physically
have
the
2021
funds
yet
so
this
is
2018
through
2020..
A
G
A
Don't
know
how
to
clearly
show
it,
because
all
that
number
that
1.9
is
needed
to
get
through
the
waiting
list
and
then
so
the
down
payment
has
460
000,
left
and
hsp
has
three
million.
A
Okay
and
then
program
expenditures
and
impacts.
Here
you
can
see
how
many
households
we're
helping
sorry,
how
many
households
we're
helping
pretty
similar
to
last
month,
but
you
can
see
the
numbers
keep.
F
I
think
what
maybe
one
of
the
things
would
be
helpful
is
to
add
another
column
between
clothes
committed
and
not
yet
committed
to
pipeline
or
something
you
know
if
you
know
that
2.76
million
is
commit
is
going
to
be
used
in
projects
that
have
gotten
low
income
housing
tax
credit.
You
know
we
there's
got
to
be
a
way
that
we
can
reflect
that.
It's
because
it's
really
you
know
it's
not
I.
You
know
you
don't
want
to
turn
down
that
those
funds
that
are
hard
to
get
from
the
state.
F
A
Okay,
that's
a
really
good
suggestion.
We
can
work
on
that
next
month.
I
I
also
realize,
while
we're
back
on
this
slide,
the
hsp
numbers
includes
the
cdbg,
the
covid
cdbg
and-
and
I
I
want
to
mention
that
a
second
you
see
the
additional
resources
column
there
to
3.765
that
is
kovis
cdbg
funding.
That
also
includes
a
million
dollars
of
mortgage
assistance
funding,
and
I
just
want
to
do
a
public
announcement
here.
Please,
you
know
through
everybody's
networks.
A
Please
get
word
out
that
the
ura,
through
action,
housing
and
urban
league
have
mortgage
assistance
funding
through
cdbg
coveted
money
for
people
impacted
by
kovid
that
are
having
trouble
paying
their
mortgages,
because
this
money
is
actually
you
know
we're
not
expending
it
quite
as
fast
as
as
originally
anticipated,
and
I
think
in
part,
that's
because
banks
are
doing
an
amazing
job
working
with
people
on
their
mortgages.
A
You
know
and
restructuring
your
mortgage
or
storing
covid,
but
if
anybody
knows
of
anyone
that
needs
a
program,
please
refer
them,
because
we
we
would
like
to
expand
that
program
faster.
A
Yeah.
Okay,
so
that's
really
it
for
updates.
The
next
hof
meeting
is
scheduled
for
thursday
may
6.
kelly.
You
have
anything
else
here,
oh
and
here's
upcoming
events
bettina,
you
want
to
do
this.
O
Sure
sorry,
it
took
me
a
minute
to
get
off
mute,
so
this
is
just
a
timeline
for
some
upcoming
events,
so
the
hrf
annual
report
is
coming
up
and
that's
due
june
30th.
So
on
the
screen.
You'll
just
see
the
timeline
that
we've
established
to
make
sure
that
we
meet
that
deadline.
So
we
did
issue
an
rfp
to
our
current
slate
of
community
outreach
and
marketing
firms
that
were
pre-approved
by
the
hof
board
and
the
ura
board.
O
O
So
this
again,
we
want
to
make
sure
we
have
ample
time
to
get
community
feedback.
So
we
are
starting
the
process.
The
planning
process
now
and
we
anticipate
issuing
the
community
outreach
rfp
in
may
doing
the
actual
community
outreach
process
throughout
june
and
july
and
then
spending
september
and
october
approving
the
draft
annual
allocation
plan
so
that
it
can
go
in
front
of
the
ura
board
and
then
to
city
council
towards
the
end
of
the
year
and
new
in
november
and
december.
B
Thanks
bettina,
if
nobody
else
has
any
questions,
does
anybody
else
have
anything
they
need
to
share
with
the
group
before
we
conclude.
B
G
B
It
all
right,
so
I
guess
I
guess
we'll
see
everybody
I
would
say
next
month,
but
probably
in
the
intervening
month
at
this
special
session
and
then
the
fair
housing
committee
will
obviously
be
meeting
at
some
point
in
the
in
the
interim.
All
right.
That's
all.
We've
got
thanks.
Everybody.
