I

I

Is
that
such
a
motion.
B
Thank
you
chairman.
Some
quick
updates
on
some
approved
sales.
The
land
bank
staff
is
working
diligently
to
close
on
243
Meadow
that
will
be
sold
to
the
urban
Academy
of
Pittsburgh
used
as
green
space
and
campus
expansion
and
recall
this
property
was
approved
through
our
non-competitive
disposition
process.
B
Secondly,
we
are
also
diligently
working
to
close
on
three
Parcels
to
be
sold
to
the
Hazelwood
initiative
to
build
publicly
subsidized,
affordable
housing.
Also,
these
three
Parcels
were
sold
through
our
non-competitive
position
process
as
they
are
going
towards
affordable
housing
units.
Those
are
our
sales
updates
back
to
you,
chairman.
B
All
right
so
recall
there
was
a
legislation
submitted
to
City
Council
in
May
of
2022,
proposing.
B
To
the
existing
tri-party
agreement
between
the
Ura
City
and
the
Pittsburgh
land
bank,
this
amendment
creates
a
process
for
the
land
bank
to
request
and
receive
property
out
of
the
city's
inventory,
a
post
agenda
and
public
hearing.
We
both
called
for
to
move
the
bill
forward
on
June
13th.
The
post
agenda
was
held
and
we
are
very
happy
to
announce
that
the
public
hearing
was
has
been
scheduled
for
July
20th.
That
is
next
Thursday.
B
The
hearing
will
be
at
10
A.M
in
person
in
council
chambers,
which
is
the
fifth
floor
of
the
city
county
building,
414
Grand,
Street,
Grant
Street,
there's
also
an
option
to
attend.
Virtually
residents
interested
in
speaking
at
this
public
hearing
can
visit
the
city
clerk's
website
to
register
to
speak.
They
can
also
call
the
city
clerk
412-255-2138
and
must
register
by
8
30
a.m.
The
day
of
the
meeting
for
written
statements
can
also
be
submitted
at
city
clerk's
office
at
pittsburghpa.gov.
B
All
right,
I
will
our
second
legislative
update
a
very
exciting
one,
so
recall
that
amendments
were
presented
at
the
State,
House
and
Senate
at
the
beginning
of
the
year
to
amend
the
municipal
claims
and
tax
lien
law.
B
What
these
amendments
do
is
make
the
Sheriff's
sale
a
more
efficient
process
will
make
it
easier
for
land
banks
in
Allegheny,
County,
more
efficiently
access
vacant
and
abandoned
property,
and
we
are
so
pleased
to
report
that
that
those
amendments
were
passed
and
they
were
signed
into
law
by
Governor
Shapiro
and
will
go
into
effect
in
early
September.
B
There's
a
great
press
release
put
out
by
the
mayor's
office
and,
of
course,
we
want
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
Senator
Wayne
Fontana
state
representative
Sarah,
nomerado,
state
representative
Emily
Kinkade,
who
introduced
the
bill
in
the
house.
We
want
to
thank
mayor,
Ed,
Gainey
and
chief
of
staffy
Jake
Wheatley,
as
well
as
the
urban
Redevelopment
Authority
grounded
strategies,
the
Allegheny
County
Office
of
Economic
Development,
the
tricog
land
bank,
the
Greater
Pittsburgh
Chamber
of
Commerce
housing,
Alliance
of
PA
and
the
Pittsburgh
Community
reinvestment,
Group,
also
known
as
pcrg.
B
B
Yes
and
let's
pause
for
one
minute,
because
I
can
see
here
that
our
director
Dr
Bay
is
joining
us,
hello,
Dr,
Bay,.
B
All
right
and
with
that
I
will
introduce
Howard,
Slaughter
and
Winnie
Brandon.
E
Thank
you
very
much
good
afternoon.
Everyone.
My
name
is
Howard
Slaughter
I'm,
the
president
and
CEO
of
Habitat
Pittsburgh,
along
with
our
expert
consultant
winning
Brad,
not
here,
to
discuss
how
or
why,
but
more
importantly,
habitat
is
an
organization
that
wants
to
be
a
partner
in
moving
forward
to
make
a
difference
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
We
are
part
of
this
solution.
E
E
We
haven't
invested
millions
of
dollars
in
home
ownership,
rehab
and
home
repairs.
Not
too
long
ago,
we
received
a
gracious
unrestricted
Grant
from
the
Kenzie
Scott
for
2.5
million
to
continue
to
build
and
Rehab
more
homes,
which
we
plan
to
do
and
invest
that
money
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
in
Allegheny
County.
We
have
an
engaging
and
knowledgeable
board
of
directors,
as
well
as
a
staff
with
and
who
supports
the
idea
of
working
more
collaboratively
with
the
Pittsburgh
Land
Bank
land
Banks
can
have
a
positive
economic
and
humanistic
impact
in
our
communities.
E
E
In
the
past
six
years,
habitat
Pittsburgh
has
contributed
to
the
economic
growth
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
directly,
and
here
is
just
a
snapshot
of
some
of
those
statistical
truths.
Habitat
is
the
only
lender
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
that
loans
money
for
home
ownership,
with
a
30-year
zero
percent
fixed
rate
mortgage
to
families.
We
serve
95
of
our
mortgages
that
we
have
made
in
the
past
six
years
were
to
black
women.
E
We
built
a
number
of
homes
in
Homewood,
a
number
of
homes
in
the
larmer
community
in
other
areas
in
the
city,
including
the
Hill
district.
We
also
support
non-profits,
like
Lumber
consensus
Group,
which
is
where
we
are
located
we've,
given
that
non-profit
364,
000,
66
and
grants
alone,
habitat
Pittsburgh
has
provided
mortgage
financing
and
we
are
the
bank.
So,
when
consumers
work
with
us,
if
they
follow
and
complete
our
programs,
they
can
be
assured
that
they
will
get
a
mortgage.
We
do
not
need
a
bank
to
provide
a
30-year
mortgage.
E
We
also
have
finance
homes
for
veterans
and
I,
just
want
to
say
if
anyone
in
the
room
is
a
veteran
or
watching.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
I
happen
to
be
a
veteran
myself.
Not
long
ago,
habitat
International
completed
an
economic
impact
report
for
Habitat
Pittsburgh
to
quantify
our
economic
impact
for
homes.
We
have
built
over
a
one-year
period
if
we
just
took
one
year's
economic
impact
numbers
and
multiply
that
over
the
37
years
that
we've
been
in
Pittsburgh,
you
would
see
an
exponential
economic
growth.
E
Let
me
just
give
you
another
snapshot
of
what
we've
done
in
just
one
year.
The
total
economic
impact
of
habitat
Pittsburgh's
investments
in
2019
was
4
million.
Forty
four
thousand
seven
hundred
and
thirty
four
dollars
significant
impact.
The
dollars
injected
into
the
economy
for
every
dollar
invested
by
habitat
was
a
dollar
76..
E
Local
and
state
taxes
paid
137,
139
dollars.
Habitat
Pittsburgh
supported
33
drops
that
year,
generating
1.69
million
in
wages
paid
into
this
local
economy.
Habitat
Pittsburgh
invested
2.292
million
in
operations,
construction,
Rehabilitation
and
renovation.
The
industries
impacted
by
our
work
were
consumer
business,
single-family,
residential
structures,
food
housing,
real
estate
sales
and
Property
Management.
E
E
The
homeownership
rate
for
African
Americans
is
31.4
percent,
while
for
whites
it's
72.8
percent,
Asians,
45.3,
American,
Indians
and
Alaska's
natives
45.5.
So
much
has
to
be
done
to
correct
that
statistic.
Whites
on
average
also
have
eight
times
the
net
worth
of
African-Americans.
We
want
to
make
sure
that,
with
home
ownership,
we
know
that
can
change
the
preponderance
of
habits.
E
At
Pittsburgh's
homes
have
been
sold
to
blacks,
nearly
95,
which
creates
generational
wealth,
helps
to
stabilize
communities
and
increases
the
tax
base
tax
base
and
is
a
good
idea
for
kids,
who
don't
have
to
move
frequently
and
provides
a
level
of
safety
for
families.
Land
banks
are
working
in
Pennsylvania
and
in
many
other
cities.
We
have
documented
that
to
do
the
work
we
have
done
in
our
report,
which
you
will
hear
a
little
bit
about
from
winning
in
just
a
few
minutes
recently.
E
I
want
to
share
Greater
Cleveland,
who
we
also
spend
time
with,
assessing
what
they
have
done,
and
the
Cuyahoga
Land
Bank
partnered
to
build
our
rehab
40
homes,
which
habitat
Cleveland
acquired
from
the
land
bank
at
a
price
of
about
400
to
500
per
home.
So
far,
the
land
bank
in
Cleveland
has
sold
or
supported
89
habitat
Cleveland
properties
in
Pittsburgh,
habitat
Pittsburgh
would
be
happy
to
partner
with
the
Pittsburgh
land
bank,
so
we
can
also
rehab
and
build
affordable
homes
for
families
in
need
of
home
ownership.
E
I
just
want
to
say
that
the
work
we
have
done
has
been
impactful
and
our
work
just
provides
an
opportunity
for
you
to
see
and
to
hear
how
land
Banks
can
and
do
work
together.
That's
something
that's
very
important,
and
one
of
my
favorite
quotes
I'll
end
with
that.
I
like
to
say,
is
a
quote
from
somebody
that
you
all
know
his
name
is
Henry
Ford
his
quotes
is
whether
you
think
you
can
or
whether
you
think
you
can't
you're
right
and
that's
the
point
we
think
together.
E
D
From
Philadelphia
thanks
Howard,
and
thank
you
all
for
giving
us
a
chance
to
share
the
report
with
you
today,
a
little
bit
about
me,
which
will
be
real,
quick
I
work
through
the
housing
Alliance
of
Pennsylvania,
which
is
a
non-profit
organization
that
is
very,
very
great
at
advocating
for
communities
and
making
sure
that
everyone
has
a
home
and,
as
part
of
its
Mission,
it
also
deals
with
blight
initiatives
and
trying
to
help
repurpose
those
properties.
D
So
that's
one
piece
of
me,
but
I
also
serve
as
an
independent
consultant
through
that
phase
of
my
work,
I
came
to
Howard
to
do
the
report
and
I'm.
Also
an
attorney
and
I
have
a
law
practice
that
focuses
mainly
on
vacant,
abandoned
properties
and
I'm.
D
The
the
solicitor
to
the
controller
of
Delaware
County,
so
I
wear
a
bunch
of
different
hats,
but
I
can
tell
you
right
now:
I
love,
land,
Banks
and
I
have
been
advocating
for
them
for
about
nine
years
coming
on
10
years
and
the
reason
I
do
it
is
because
it
is
a
tool
that
has
proven
itself
to
help
get
land
to
projects
right
so
think
about
the
land
and
I.
Don't
want
to
just
think
about
the
properties
Howards
to
use.
D
The
word
humanistic
makes
reminded
me
that
it's
about
the
people,
not
the
properties,
because
we
often
Focus
just
on
the
structure.
So
what
is
it
that
we're
trying
to
achieve
we're,
trying
to
use
the
land
to
benefit
residents
to
benefit
community
members
to
get
people
in
the
homes?
So
how
do
we
do
that?
And
how
do
we
make
projects
work?
D
They
don't
make
sense
economically,
you
can't
do
the
project,
sell
the
property
or
get
the
person
into
the
house
at
the
dollar
amount
that
will
be
borne
by
the
market
or
by
even
by
subsidies
having
land
that
you
can
use
as
that
subsidy,
or
that
free
land
often
makes
these
projects
that
are
hard
to
do
economically,
feasible
and
viable.
So
that
is
really
how
I
like
to
think
about
land
Banks,
initially
as
a
facilitator
for
getting
land
at
low
or
nominal
cost
for
projects
that
communities
want.
D
So
when
you
think
about
the
land
banks
in
Pennsylvania
first,
we
remember
that
municipalities,
counties
and
municipalities
can
create
a
land
bank
when
they
create
the
land
bank
by
the
ordinance
they
can
set
disposition
priorities.
There's
often
fear
that
if
the
land
bank
starts
transferring
properties,
it's
going
to
be
to
all
the
developers
that
have
cozy
relationships
Etc,
but
that's
not
the
case.
The
land
bank
can
dictate
disposition
and
that's
the
beauty
of
it.
They
don't
have
to
go
to
the
highest
bidder.
They
can
set
disposition,
strategies
and
priorities.
D
Many
of
the
land
banks
in
Pennsylvania,
the
number
one
priority
is
residential
housing.
Sometimes
they
say:
affordable
housing,
they
may
say
owner
occupied
housing
because
they
really
have
enough
rental
housing,
but
it's
based
on
community
needs.
So
that's
the
other
big
part
of
the
land
banks
that
I
really
love.
It's
that
Community
Driven
disposition,
priorities
that
get
set
by
those
creating
the
land
bank.
D
So
the
other
part
of
it
is
that
you
can
include
covenants
and
deed
restrictions
that
can
Safeguard
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
selecting
these
properties,
selecting
the
end
user
and
making
sure
that
that
they
can
fly
so
there's
all
kinds
of
strategies
that
lawyers
I'm
sure
at
the
Ura
are
familiar
with.
That
can
make
that
happen.
D
So
if
you
want
to
go
to
the
next,
so
let
me
just
say
here
for
a
second,
so
I
was
so
happy
when
Howard
contacted
me
to
do
this
comparative
analysis,
because
I've
seen
the
work
that
Pennsylvania's
land
banks
are
doing
because
I
serve
through
the
housing
Alliance
as
the
senior
advisor
to
the
Pennsylvania
land
bank
Network,
which
is
this
loose
group
of
all
the
land
bank
leaders
and
staff
across
Pennsylvania
who
get
together
to
share
best
practices.
So
they
don't
have
to
reinvent
the
wheel.
D
It's
really
been
an
incredible
experience
for
me
and
in
my
work
in
that
role,
I've
seen
the
work
that
land
banks
are
doing
and
there's
a
couple
that
I
pulled
out
that
I
thought
would
be
useful
to
take
a
look
at
because
they're
they're
succeeding,
they're,
not
perfect
and
I'll
start
out
by
saying
that
this
is
hard
work,
they're,
not
perfect.
So
in
Pennsylvania
right
now
there
are
38
land.
Banks
23
of
them
are
like
Pittsburgh's.
D
It's
a
created,
a
separate
agency
that
is
the
land
bank
and
then
there's
15
that
are
Redevelopment
authorities
that
have
been
designated
to
act
as
the
land
bank
and
they're
dispersed
across
Pennsylvania.
If
you
want
to
go
to
the
next
side,
there's
a
list
of
all
them
there,
and
this
is
chronologically.
So
you
can
see
the
last
one
that
I'm
aware
of
that
was
formed.
D
Is
a
multi-municipal
land
bank
in
Lower,
South
Valley
land
bank,
over
on
the
Eastern
side
of
the
state
so
again
summer,
multi-municipal
some
are
county-based
summer
Municipal
based
and
that's
the
beauty
of
our
law.
It's
very
flexible
to
meet
the
community's
needs
next
slide,
please
so
the
tricog
land
bank,
which
is
one
of
your
close
by
neighbors.
D
What
I
you
know
really
respect
about
the
work
that
they've
done
is
that
they
were
students
of
land
banking.
From
the
beginning
they
are
multi-municipal.
They
have
28
municipalities,
six
school
districts
in
Allegheny
County
as
members
they
partner
with
non-profit
housing
groups
like
Rebuilding,
Together,
Pittsburgh
and
city
of
bridges,
land
trust
and
they
are
moving
properties
to
sale.
I
think
the
data
I'm
just
going
to
pull
up
in
the
report,
you'll
see
for
each
of
the
land.
Banks
there's
a
data
snapshot
like
this.
D
That
gives
like
some
basic
data
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
narrative
behind
it.
But
this
is
really
what
most
people
want
to
see
right.
What
are
they
doing?
How
many
properties
are
they
transacting
so
for
for
tricog
through
December
31st
of
2022
they
had
transacted,
they
had
acquired
89
properties
and
they
sold
40..
Now
later,
I
see
that
I
had
in
the
report.
You'll
see
they
acquired
99
properties
as
of
March
the
end
of
March
this
year
and
they
sold
47.
so
they're
moving
properties.
D
Is
it
hundreds
of
thousands
of
properties
or
thousands
of
properties?
No,
but
they
are
making
a
dent
in
the
communities
where
they're
working
and
the
other
couple
things
I
want
to
mention
about
tricog
is
that
they
started
with
studies.
They
did.
If
you
haven't
seen,
if
there's
a
cost
of
light
study
that
the
tri-cod
group
did,
that
really
laid
the
groundwork
for.
Why
do
we
even
need
a
land
bank
like
this
is
some
tool.
We
have
a
Redevelopment
Authority.
D
We
have
all
these
other
entities,
but
that
study
just
showed
what
municipalities
were
already
spending
on
white.
So
why
are
we
not
spending
that
money
to
really
repurpose
and
reimagine
these
properties?
A
couple
of
other
things,
they've
done,
which
I
really
admire,
is
that
they
are
innovators,
so
they
do
the
studies
and
then
they
look
at
what
they
find
and
they
try
to
come
up
with
Creative
Solutions
that
work
for
it
for
them,
and
one
of
them
is
this
relationship.
D
They
have
with
Rebuilding
Together
Pittsburgh
and
city
of
bridges,
Land
Trust
they're,
trying
to
focus
on
the
equity
lens
on
how
to
do
this
in
a
meaningful
way
that
matters
for
the
people
that
they're
serving.
They
also
recently
completed
a
five-year
strategic
plan
which
sets
a
path
for
what
they're
going
to
try
to
achieve
over
the
next
five
years
and
I'll
just
go
back
for
a
moment
to
their
their
study
and
they're
being
students.
They
recently
did
a
vacant
land
report
which
was
intended
to
show
like
we
might
demolish
structures.
D
There's
a
lot
of
vacant
Lots
out
there
and
there
isn't
enough
interest
or
economics
that
would
allow
homes
to
be
built
on
those.
So
what
are
we
going
to
do
with
all
these
vacant
Lots?
So
now,
they're
trying
to
come
up
with
solutions
for
what
to
do
with
the
vacant.
Lots-
and
they
just
got
a
25
000
Grant
from
Center
for
Community
progress
to
try
an
Innovative
pilot
project,
that's
going
to
try
to
see
how
they
can
come
up
with
uses
for
the
all
the
vacant
Lots.
D
The
other
couple,
other
things
to
mention
is
they're
big.
On
Partnerships
Community
engagement
is
built
into
their
operations,
they're
very
open
their
land.
Their
website
is
full
of
all
the
data.
All
of
the
reports
they've
done
and
it's
easy
to
access
their
minutes,
agendas
and
everything
else
and
they're
transparent.
As
I
said,
Community
engagement,
Partners,
okay,
next
slide,
please,
and
just
go
back
for
one
more
second
I'm,
sorry,
the
crack
Cog
landbank.
D
They
did
this
project
like
and
they
were
able
to
get
Title
Insurance
they're
moving
homes
in
families
into
these
homes
and
their
they're
succeeding.
So
the
next
one,
please
I
thought
I
had
one
in
there
for
Westmoreland
County
I'm
just
going
to
talk
about
West
London.
Oh
here
we
go
okay,
so
Westmoreland
County
is
another
neighbor
of
yours
and
they
also
I
admire
them
and
wanted
to
look
further
at
their
work.
D
Over
there.
The
Redevelopment
Authority
actually
runs
the
land
bank
and
they
have
an
mou,
a
memorandum
of
understanding
for
Staffing.
They
have
fully
integrated
the
land
bank
and
the
Redevelopment
authority
to
the
point
where
they
just
released
a
five-year
strategic
plan
that
is
focused
on
both
of
those
entities
working
together
to
reimagine
and
and
recycle
vacant
land
and
vacant
properties
in
Westmoreland
County.
D
They
are
using
arpa
funding
for
a
lot
of
demolitions,
there's
500
properties
that
the
Redevelopment
Authority
is
moving
forward
in
a
range
of
municipalities
in
Westmoreland,
County
and
the
other
part
of
Westmoreland
County's
land
bank.
That
I
really
liked
is
right
from
the
beginning.
Their
board
was
like.
Okay,
let's
try
to
operate
this
like
a
startup
and
focus
on
a
targeted
area,
targeted
objectives
and
see
how
we
can
make
the
process
work.
They're
very
big
on
using
technology,
they've
developed
a
couple
apps
to
help
both
developers
and
staff
stay
in
tune
with
everything.
D
So
the
next
one
please
oh
yeah
yeah,
that
would
be
great,
so
I
I
am
from
Philadelphia
and
I
have
been
very
much
engaged
with
vacant
land
there
from
before.
I
even
started
to
do
this
work
because
I
would
walk
by
and
be
like.
This
seems
like
a
waste
like.
Why
isn't
anybody
doing
anything
with
this?
So
Philadelphia's
land
bank
has
been
operating
from
2014
after
a
range
of
issues
that
dealt
with
allegations
of
of
sweetheart
deals
for
developers
through
pre-existing
agencies.
D
The
land
bank
got
reshuffled
in
2019
and
it
was
moved
into
under
this
umbrella
organization.
The
Philadelphia
Housing
Development
Corporation
their
mous
with
phdc
and
the
land
bank
and
the
Redevelopment
Authority,
and
they
all
operate
under
that
one
umbrella
organization,
which
is
working
well.
There
and
phdc
serves
as
the
Community
Development
Corporation
for
the
city
and
works
closely
with
the
city's
Department
of
Planning
and
Development,
so
for
Philly.
What
they
do
is
they
have
a
large
inventory
of
surplus,
publicly
owned
properties.
I
think
there
are
5200
properties
right
now
in
that
inventory.
D
D
So
they
couldn't
agree
to
transfer
all
of
those
publicly
owned
lands
into
the
land
bank,
which
was
the
original
goal,
the
original
intent,
but
they
determined
that
we
don't
really
need
to
get
them
under
title
together.
We
just
need
them
all
to
be
disposed
of
for
one
process
and
that's
what
they
do
now.
D
The
land
bank
does
not
pay
for
the
property
when
it's
transferred
from
the
Ura
or
from
the
phdc
or
from
the
city
it's
transferred
over,
because
the
vision
is
that
the
land
bank
is
performing
a
service
for
the
city
and
for
those
agencies
in
order
to
move
it
back
to
productive
use.
So
that's
how
it's
set
up
to
be
that
disposer
of
properties
from
the
multiple
land
holding
agencies
in
the
city
next
slide.
Please.
D
So
this
is
the
one
project
that
I
really
enjoy
talking
about,
because
it
was
a
combination
of
and
a
collaboration
among
Council,
the
land
bank
and
phdc,
and
the
goal
here
was
to
try
to
get
some
new,
affordable
homes
in
Philadelphia
in
targeted
neighborhoods,
where
there
was
a
need
and
land.
D
So
through
this
program,
city,
council
and
the
whole
group
is
moving
forward
with
a
thousand
new
home
buyers
and
they've
already
sold
some
of
the
properties,
but
the
properties
are
going
to
be
income
qualified
for
city
of
Philadelphia
employees
as
a
first
first
group,
a
lot
of
land
banks
around
the
country
have
preferences
and
they're
allowed
to
do
this.
They
may
for
the
first
30
days.
D
The
only
person
who
can
apply
for
this
project
has
to
be
a
city
employee,
but
for
the
first
30
days
the
only
applicants
can
be
people
that
are
going
to
be
the
actual
owner
occupants
so
that
you
can
try
to
direct
the
end
users
that
you
want
to
these
properties
a
lot
of
neighborhoods.
There
are
families
that
have
been
there
for
decades.
They
want
their
kids
to
be
able
to
buy
and
live
in.
D
There
was
a
400
million
dollar
a
bond
issue
that
this
is
part
of,
and
it
is,
if
I'm
happy
to
send
you
the
details
about
how
that
was
broken
out,
but
it
was
a
very
and
that
was
maybe
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
now
they're
they're
spending
the
money
now
to
get
this
work
done.
C
How
do
you,
how
do
you
vote
the
contractors
who
does
the
work?
What
are
the
qualifications
as
a
minority
participation,
minority
mentorship
is
yeah.
What's
included,
yeah.
D
All
of
that
is
part
of
it,
but
I'll
tell
you
what
they
did.
They
issued
rfps
for
sites
in
different
neighborhoods
in
the
city
and
then
the
those
who
wanted
to
bid
on
the
project
they
would
have
to
submit
a
proposal,
and
in
that
proposal
there
are
certain
minority
development
requirements.
There
are
also
the
same
kind
of
like
Workforce
training
initiatives
that
are
part
of
all
of
these
agencies
in
their
work
and
in
another
slide.
D
I,
don't
know
if
I
included
this,
but
there
is
also
a
a
fund
in
Philadelphia
I
gotta,
remember
what
the
name
of
it
is,
but
there's
a
special
fund.
That's
been
created
for
black
and
brown
developers,
so
they
can
have
access
to
projects
like
this
and
that
has
been
really
well
received.
So.
A
D
The
only
thing
I
would
close
with
is
that
select
to
the
end,
even
for
the
Cuyahoga
land
bank.
They
had
two
things
at
the
beginning
and
that
was
dedicated
funding.
So
you
have
that
commitment
to
longevity
that
it's
going
to
be
around,
for
you
know
a
couple
years,
so
people
can
really
dig
in
and
then
the
last
is
that
pipeline
of
distressed
properties
for
little
or
no
cost.
Those
are
the
t
two
key
factors
that
led
to
the
success
of
that
land
bank
and
continues
to
lead
to
its
success.
D
E
Let
me
just
answer
your
questions
specifically.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Habitat
Pittsburgh
wants
to
find
a
way
to
partner
with
the
land
bank,
so
we
can
build
and
Rehab
more
homes
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
We
have
something
to
do
it
and
we're
ready
to
do
it,
and
we
need
to
figure
out
a
way
to
make
that
happen.
We.
A
A
E
We
haven't
come
to
the
city
for
any
of
our
funding
at
all,
so
we
have
raised
our
funds.
We
have
a
portfolio
of
mortgages
that
we
have
that
are
assets.
We
can
sell
mortgages,
we're
a
bank
in
that
sense,
so
we
do
have
funding
to
do
and
we're
able
to
go
out
and
partner.
I
can
tell
you
right
now:
habitat
International-
and
we
just
talked
to
a
major
bank
here
in
Pittsburgh
you're,
considering
somewhere
upwards
of
20
million
in
this
particular
fund.
A
So
give
me,
let
me
have
a
chat
with
the
Ura
and
the
land
bank
staff
and
within
10
days,
I'll
get
back
to
you
to
start
talking
about
a
process.
I
am
a
fan
of
how
bad
Habitat
for
Humanity
I,
don't
want
to
say:
I,
don't
want
to
make
promises,
but
I
do
think.
A
This
is
a
partnership
that
we
should
investigate
immediately,
and
you
have
my
word
as
chair
that
I'll
begin
that
process
immediately.
Okay,
thank.
E
A
So
much
okay,
I
thought
there
was
a
second
presentation,
but
those
are
the
only
two
yeah
all
right.
So
if
there
is
a
person
who
wishes
to
participate
in
public
comment,
please
you
know
you
rate,
use
the
raise
the
hand
function,
the
bottom
of
the
webinar
webinar
control
manual
menu.
Please
begin
with
your
name
address
or
neighborhood
or
your
organization
affiliation.
Each
speaker
has
three
minutes
to
address
the
board.
Is
there
anyone.
B
Do
not
see
anyone
here
and
let
me
just
confirm
a
city
channel
that
there
are
no
there's.
No
one
waiting
in
the
in
the
lobby
to
make
public
comment.
A
Okay,
if
there
is,
if
there's
none
I,
am
appreciate.
The
presentation
that
was
made
I
think
that
it
is
something
that
we
can
consider
very
seriously
moving
forward.
Is
there
any
any
conversation
from
board
members.
