A
A
So
hello,
everyone,
I
believe
we
are
live
on
facebook,
and
I
know
we
have
some
other
folks
participating
with
us.
Welcome
to
this
event,
I
I
am
sorry
to
report.
I
am
your
technical
host
and
emcee
of
this
event,
which
we'll
all
try
to
get
through.
I'm
mayor,
john
hamilton
and
I'll,
introduce
some
other
folks
in
a
minute
who
will
be
with
us.
A
We
appreciate
you
all
being
here
and
we're
set
to
discuss
some
important
matters
for
bloomington,
so
just
to
set
the
stage
a
minute
before
I
introduce
our
co-panelists
we're
talking
today
about
recover
forward,
which
is
an
initiative
that
we're
working
on
in
the
city
of
bloomington
to
try
to
recover
from
the
pandemic
and
its
economic
calamitous
consequences
to
recover
forward
to
recover
in
the
ways
that
we
want
to
move
as
a
community,
particularly
toward
racial
justice
toward
economic
justice
and
toward
climate
justice.
A
A
Now?
Thankfully,
let's
see
I
should
give,
we
are
going
to
be
taking
questions
from
both
the
media
and
facebook.
Anybody
who's
participating
in
facebook
live.
Please
send
those
in
through
the
chat
function
or
on
facebook
live.
We
have
some
magic
behind
the
scene,
al
cassandra
and
andrew
krebs.
A
Thank
you
for
your
help
in
moving
those
to
us,
but
first
we're
going
to
have
some
general
discussion
and
presentations
about
some
of
the
things
we're
thinking
about,
and
you
are
going
to
hear
from
jane
cooper
smith,
wave,
jane
city's
assistant,
director
of
small
business
development,
you're,
going
to
hear
from
pat
east,
say
hello,
pat
from
who
is
the
executive
director
of
the
mill
one
of
the
hats
he
wears
these
days,
and
he
may
describe
some
others
and
you're
going
to
hear
from
dora.
A
Sims
say
hello,
doris,
who
is
the
director
of
the
city's
housing
and
neighborhood
development
department,
and
in
particular
I
think
what
we'll
do
we
have
kind
of
two
two
big
chapters.
One
is
focused
on
jobs
in
the
economy
and
and
particularly
work
to
climb
out
of
the
hole
we're
in
in
the
right
ways,
and
the
second
is
on
housing
and
I
think
we're
going
to
start
with
the
job
section
and
some
of
the
things
going
on
with
that.
A
I
may
chime
in
with
some
things,
but
what
I
think
I
hope,
jane
and
pat,
are
ready
to
give
a
little
bit
of
an
introduction
about
some
of
the
programs
part
of
recover
forward,
and
I
may
chime
in
and
interrupt
with
questions.
But
jane.
Are
you
ready
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
those
components
for
us?
Thank
you.
B
Sure
I'm
happy
happy
to
give
an
overview
and
then
pass
to
pat,
because
I
think
his
piece
kind
of
falls
under
the
the
job
creation
component
of
recover
forward
so,
like
the
mayor,
said
we're
in
economically
really
challenging
times
and
we're
also
in
a
moment
where
we've
learned
what
systemic
economic
challenges
have
led
to.
You
know
a
particular
set
of
difficulties,
especially
for
people
of
color
in
this
in
this
country.
B
So
we've
you
know,
there's
no
direct
line
to
a
single
solution,
so
we've
come
up
with
a
variety
of
programs
to
try
to
work
on
increasing
employment,
increasing
job
skills
and
increasing
access
to
these
programs.
B
We've
targeted
our
programming
in
at
sort
of
putting
individuals
toward
the
sectors
that
are
robust
in
our
local
bloomington
economy.
Right
now,
so
pat
will
we'll
talk
about
programming
and
then
I'll
talk
a
little
more
specifically
about
life,
life
sciences,
job
training,
life
sciences,
manufacturing
job
training
and
then
building
and
trades
apprenticeship,
programs.
A
Just
before
I
realized,
I
should
have
done
something
that
I
didn't
do
well,
I
apologize,
but
we
should
probably
frame
this
in
the
sense
that
we're
one
of
the
things
we're
talking
about
is
a
special
appropriation
request.
That's
going
to
the
city
council,
it's
actually
being
discussed
tonight
and
probably
voted
on
next
week,
where
we're
asking
for
two
million
dollars
overall
from
saved
money
that
the
city
has
didn't,
spend
in
2019
to
try
to
accelerate
our
recovery
and
that
two
million
covers
all
three
areas
that
I
talk
about.
A
It's
about
a
little
over
half
a
million
dollars
that
we're
asking
for
appropriation
from
the
city
council
that
will
focus
on
these.
Some
of
these
things
we're
talking
about
then
there's
another
half
a
million
or
so
that's
focused
on
housing
that
we'll
be
talking
about
later-
and
I
probably
should
have
said
that.
First
sorry,
but
back
to
you,
jake.
B
Yeah
and
please
jump
in
with
more
questions.
I
think
that
dialogue
is
a
little
more
interesting
to
listen
to
frankly,
but
so
the
first
program,
I'll
talk
about
is
under
the
banner
of
re-entry
support.
So
this
program
is
it
sort
of
is
an
outgrowth
of
the
brighton
b-town
partnership
with
the
parks
department
in
centerstone,
which
aims
to
support
people
in
recovery.
Are
people
who've
been
experiencing
homelessness,
working
with
centerstone
and
getting
them
employed
and
sort
of
back
up
and
running?
B
So
we've
earmarked
additional
funds
for
the
center
stone
partnership
and
would
like
to
use
that
as
a
model
under
the
banner
of
re-entry
support
to
grow
some
additional
jobs
for
for
people
who've
been
you
know,
chronic
chronically
unemployed
really
have
been
out
of
the
workforce
for
a
long
time,
we'd
like
to
support
people
who
maybe
have
recently
been
released
from
prison
who
have
criminal
records
and
have
had
trouble
getting
employment.
Because
of
that,
we
would
like
to
continue
supporting
people
who
are
are
in
recovery.
B
You
know,
a
really
beneficial
component
to
people
in
that
position,
so
we
start
with
re-entry
support
and
then
kind
of
moving
on
from
there
to
more
specific
training.
That's
not
particularly
skilled
work,
but
it's
more
about
getting
people
in
the
workforce
and
then
looking
at
acquiring
skills.
We
have
the
life
sciences
support
program,
which
is
an
outgrowth
of
the
hoosier
hills,
career
centers
work
with
ivy
tech,
so
they
built
this
really
excellent,
three-week
apprenticeship
program
that
out
of
that,
the
participants
become
sort
of
officially
biotech
biomanufacturing
technicians.
B
So
we
know
that
life
sciences
manufacturing
is
a
growth
area
in
our
local
economy.
So
this
gives
two
weeks
of
really
technical
education.
In
terms
of
you
know,
how
do
you?
What
do
you
need
to
know
what
type
of
math
do
you
need
to
be
able
to
do
to
go
work
on
the
line?
B
What
type
of
you
know
gowning
practices
there's
this
whole
for
those
of
us
who
are
outside
life
sciences,
manufacturing,
there's
a
very
complex
gowning
procedure
that
has
to
be
taught
and
takes
some
resources
in
order
to
do
so,
there's
some
basic
chemistry
that
has
to
happen
too,
so
you
don't
have
to
have
a
college
education
to
be
able
to
become
qualified
for
these
jobs.
But
this
this
program
is
so
high
quality
with
its
training.
B
The
people
who
participated
in
the
first
cohort
each
individual
had
two
job
offers
at
the
end
of
the
program.
So
we'd
really
like
to
connect
individuals
with
jobs
through
this
program
and
then
the
third
week
is
the
soft
employment
skills
that
are
just
super
important
for
employability.
You
know
you
want
to
make
sure.
B
Not
only
do
you
have
the
technical
skills
to
skills
to
execute
the
job,
but
you
have
the
soft
skills
to
make
sure
you
can
can
keep
it
and
that
you
can
get
hired
in
the
first
place
and
then
the
the
other
growth
area
that
we've
kind
of
honed
in
on
is
in
the
building
and
trades,
and
this
actually
is
feedback
based
on
communication
with
groups
organized
by
the
chamber
of
commerce
and
the
bloomington
economic
development
course.
So
this
was
a
direct,
the
direct
outgrowth
of
communication.
B
With
our
you
know,
local
business
owners
and
they've
cited
a
need
for
skilled
skilled
labor.
So
one
of
the
primary
examples
was
talking
about
concrete
finishing
that
it's
it's
really
difficult
to
find
and
hire
people
who
are
able
to
do
this.
Pretty
technical,
concrete
work.
So
with
the
apprenticeship
program.
B
We
know
that
we
have
limited
time
in
in
in
this
programming,
but
we
would
like
to
really
give
individuals
a
leg
up
and
not
just
having
access
to
unskilled
construction
building
trades
jobs,
but
that
we
can
help
offset
the
expense
of
the
employer,
training
them
specifically
for
these
higher
skilled
building,
trades
jobs
and
again
concrete's
a
good
example,
but
it
could
be
you
know,
drywall
finishing
or
carpentry
these
things
that
are
skills
that
are
acquirable
over
a
long
period
of
time.
B
But
we
hope
that
with
this
apprenticeship,
which
is
sort
of
in
quotes,
there's
no
formal
certification
that
comes
out
of
it,
but
we
hope
that
people
will
be
able
to
meet
this
need
that
employers
are
are
experiencing.
We
also
note
that
those
are
are
pretty
good,
paying
jobs.
Of
course,
I
can't
see
it
on
my
sheet
right
now:
yeah
average
income,
thirty,
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
and
ten
dollars
to
forty
three
thousand
five
hundred
and
fifty
for
bloomington.
B
So
we
think
that's
that's
pretty
great,
and
then
the
third
area
of
growth
that
we've
kind
of
zeroed
in
on
and
pat
will
talk
to
us
about
is
in
the
tech
sector,
which
is
why
we've
we've
asked
him
to
well.
No,
we
didn't
ask
him.
You
came
to
us
to
talk
about
good
school.
C
C
So
I'll
share
some
of
the
highlights
of
the
code
school
proposal
that
helps
us
achieve
that
mission
of
vision,
and
this
was
previously
published
in
the
june
26
edition
of
the
herald
times.
We've
been
working
on
it
for
the
last
month
and
have
a
few
updated
parts
so
to
set
the
stage
for
why
this
initiative
is
important.
C
Currently,
the
u.s
has
one
million
unfilled
computer
programming
positions
and
annual
average
salaries
in
this
bill
pay
two
to
three
times
the
living
wage
in
bloomington,
which
is
about
27
000
annually.
And
so,
when
you
combine
these
two
facts,
it
offers
us
a
really
good
opportunity
to
lift
ourselves
out
of
this
economic
recession
by
retraining
folks
for
a
career
in
computer
programming,
and
as
I
mentioned,
the
target
audience
for
this
program
is
folks
who
are
underemployed
or
unemployed.
C
So
our
plan
in
three
broad
brush
strokes
is
a
to
find
the
right
students
b,
teach
them
how
to
program
and
see
ensure
they're
placed
in
good
jobs
so
to
find
the
right
students
we'll
screen
and
assess
potential
students
for
the
profiles
that
really
predict
success.
75
of
the
programmer
population
in
the
us
is
comprised
of
five
myers-briggs
personality
types.
C
What
interview
questions
about
work?
History
characteristics
like
grid
determination,
ability
to
think
logically
and
analytically,
we'll
also
add
in
or
assign
40
hours
of
pre-work,
which
can
be
completed
over
four
weeks
prior
to
enrollment
and
so
based
upon
conversations
with
similar
training
programs.
This
is
a
huge
predictor
of
who's
going
to
be
successful,
who
wants
to
put
in
the
time
and
who's
dedicated
and
committed
to
this,
to
deliver
effective
training,
we'll
use
treehouse,
which
is
an
online
learning
platform.
C
C
We're
also
partnering,
with
ivy
tech,
to
provide
weekly
hands-on
instruction
in
our
classroom
at
the
mill
also
coordinate
peer-to-peer
instruction,
which
increases
the
effectiveness
of
learning
for
both
the
students
involved.
C
C
In
addition,
we'll
have
one
of
our
tech
recruiters
at
the
mill
objective
paradigm,
they'll
help
place
students
at
other
companies
using
their
network
and
existing
contacts,
and
especially
in
this
pandemic,
with
more
companies
working
remotely
students
can
live
here
while
working
for
a
company
in
another
city
which
further
expands
potential
employment
to
make
the
program
sustainable,
we
we're
going
to
create
a
culture
of
paying
it
forward,
so
we'll
obviously
need
money
to
start
the
program
but
long
term.
C
We
want
to
make
sure
the
program
kind
of
sustains
itself
and
because
the
students
incomes
are
going
to
increase
two
to
three
ask
two
to
three
x.
We'll
ask
them
to
do
either
or
both
of
the
following
one
is
donate:
a
portion
of
the
increase
in
their
salary
to
a
pool
to
be
used
for
future
students,
and
the
second
is
donate
their
time
to
teach
students
which
helps
offset
our
hard
costs.
C
C
C
In
order
to
see
the
program,
we
need
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
We
previously
created
a
budget
where
we
would
need
250
000,
but
really
over
the
last
four
to
six
weeks,
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
sharpening
our
pencil
and
working
with
treehouse
to
lower
our
cost.
So
this
hundred
thousand
dollars
supports
120
students
and
would
be
spent
for
online
learning
for
the
online
learning
pro
platform,
treehouse
hiring
the
program,
manager
and
expenses
related
to
marketing
and
recruitment.
C
A
Thank
you
so
much
pat
and
jane,
and
I'm
gonna
follow
up
with
just
quick,
quick
questions
to
add
and
and
then
we'll
shift
to
housing
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
wide
to
questions
for
everybody,
but
pat
just
following
up
for
you.
If
you
can
just
quickly,
maybe
make
a
couple
points
that
I
know
are
lurking,
one
of
which
is
you've
you've
spun
this
off
in
some
ways
from
a
louisville
project.
A
I
think
you've
learned
from
that
and
second
from
your
experience
in
the
mill,
how
does
this
connect
with
kind
of
the
tech,
jobs
and
companies
here
in
the
mill
and
then
jane?
I
thought,
maybe
you
could
add
just
a
little
bit
about
particularly
that
center
stone
program.
It
kind
of
has
the
impact
of
the
work
that
they're
doing
is
is
kind
of
public
public
improvements
right
a
lot
of
it's
almost
like
a
conservation
core
or
something
but
pat.
D
C
The
the
program
that
that
we're
doing
here
is
not
the
first
time
this
has
been
done
elsewhere
right,
so
we
wanted
to
find
a
model
where
other
folks
have
done
it.
There's
a
program
in
south
carolina
that
the
state
has
run
there's
a
program
in
chicago
that
that
city
has
run
the
closest
to
what
we
want
to
do,
which
is
having
a
more
sustainable
program.
C
That's
started
by
city
government
but
becomes
self-sustaining
over
time
is
a
program
out
of
louisville
called
code
louisville,
and
they
also
use
the
treehouse
platform,
and
so
we
we
talk
with
them
quite
a
bit
about
how
to
make
sure
that
we
learn
from
their
mistakes
and
we
shorten
our
learning
curve.
C
We
figure
out
the
the
right
students
to
to
attract
and
to
recruit
and
how
we
how
we
staff
it
with
with
the
right
people
to
to
teach
folks
the
person
that's
teaching
their
program.
Right
now
is
a
former
student
and
they
said
that
former
students
actually
end
up
becoming
the
best
teachers,
not
only
because
they
have
those
skills
now
right,
but
they
know
what
those
students
are
going
through.
It's
different
than
maybe
what
people
go
through
in
a
traditional,
four-year
setting,
where
they're
still
figuring
out
their
lives.
C
They
have
their
college
paid
for
folks
are
going
to
be
doing
going
through
this
program
on
their
own,
maybe
with
families
with
bills
to
pay,
and
so
their
life
circumstance
is
different.
So
so
I
think,
having
having
a
teacher
ultimately
that
that
understands
the
the
the
life
stage
they're
in
is
is
really
important,
and
I
already
forgot
your
second
question.
John.
I'm
sorry.
D
C
So
you
know
one
thing
that
we're
trying
to
do
at
the
mill.
Our
mission
here
is
to
launch
and
accelerate
high
potential
companies
and
to
be
able
to
do
that,
we
need
more
developers.
Developers
are
the
ones
who
actually
code
and
program
all
of
the
all
the
things
that
are
built
at
the
mill.
C
Certainly,
we
have
non-technology
non-software
companies
here,
but
about
half
of
the
companies
here
are
technology
related
and
so
the
more
programmers
we
have
here,
the
better
bloomington
as
well
as
most
communities,
actually
does
a
decent
job
of
creating
programmers
through
our
school
system
through
iu
through
ivy
tech.
What
we
don't
do,
a
good
job
of,
is
actually
retaining
them
here,
so
we
train
them
for
other
cities
and
they
move
out
to
the
coast,
which
is
not
dissimilar
from
it's,
not
dissimilar
from
other
cities.
C
So
hey:
we
need
to
do
a
better
job,
long
term,
in
keeping
those
folks
hearing
and
initiatives
like
the
mill
where
like-minded
folks
can
be
around
each
other
certainly
helps
in
the
short
term,
though,
retraining
existing
folks
to
be
able
to
work
in
these
developer
positions
to
be
able
to
help
our
startups
is
is
certainly
key.
The
more
talent
we
have
here,
the
more
builders
we
have
here,
the
better.
C
It's
very
much
akin
to
you
know,
folks,
at
iu
at
iu
health,
they're,
they're
constructing
a
new
hospital,
the
folks
they
have
to
hire.
There
are
builders
right.
We
need
our
builders
here
at
the
mill
and
those
builders
are
programmers.
B
Yeah
I
actually
mayor,
if
you
don't
mind,
peter
dorfman
submitted
a
relevant
question
sure
what
can
be
done
to
raise
the
low
wages
for
people
who
don't
have
tech
skills,
but
are
working
in
service
jobs
and
after
I
gave
my
spiel
I
realized.
I
was
kind
of
glossing
over
this
term
that
we
all
we
all
use
when
we're
working
on
writing
policy
behind
the
scenes,
but
we're
thinking
about
unemployed
and
underemployed
people.
B
That's
who
is
front
and
center
for
all
of
us
when
we're
working
on
developing
these
programs
and
when
we're
thinking
about
underemployed
folks,
we
are
looking
really
closely
at
people
who
have
been
laid
off
of
service
service
industry,
jobs
and
also
knowing
that
service
industry
jobs
are
a
critical
part
of
our
local
economy,
but
we
do
want
people
to
be
able
to
get
into
better
paying
permanent
jobs,
and
so
I
think
that's
to
get
back
to
mr
dorfman's
question.
B
This
is
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
do
with
all
this
program,
whether
it's
somebody
who's
who's,
you
know
really
re-entering
the
workforce
and
just
trying
to
get
basic
skills
or
whether
it's
someone
who's
who
is
leaving
a
sector.
That's
completely,
you
know
collapsed.
Some
of
our
service
establishments
have
not
even
reopened
since
march.
So
now
that
the
ui
payments
are
are
I
mean,
I
think
they
finished
last
week
or
this.
B
Yeah
those
people
have
to
have
to
come
up
with
a
new
strategy,
and
I
think
we've
tried
to
be
sensitive
to
that
in
the
development
too,
which
is
especially
why
the
building
trades
program
is
appealing.
It
allows
the
person
who's
doing
the
training
to
be
part
of
the
workforce,
earning
an
income
while
they're
acquiring
skills.
C
I'll
dovetail
off
of
that
real,
quick
there's,
a
book
called
the
geography
of
jobs
and
one
that
we
cite
here
at
the
mill
a
lot,
because
it
talks
about
job
creation
as
it
relates
to
or
or
indirect
job
creation,
as
it
relates
to
technology
jobs.
So
so,
basically,
the
premise
of
the
book
is
for
every
one
technology
job
that's
created,
or
one
innovation
driven
job,
there's
two
to
three
more
downstream
jobs
that
are
created
in
the
service
industry,
with
higher
than
wage
higher
than
average
wages.
So
over
time,
creating
more
technology.
A
And
I'm
going
to
switch
shortly
to
housing.
I
want
to
make
the
quick
mention
of
digital
equity,
but
jane
also.
I
just
thought
it
might
be
useful
on
that
center
stone
program
and
perhaps
the
re-entry
too.
Some
some
of
that
work
is
really
focused
on
kind
of
conservation.
Core
public
works
things
that
will
that
will
be
helping
our
community
as
we
create
these
jobs
too.
Right.
B
D
A
Improving
improving
parks
and
infrastructure
sidewalks
those
kinds
of
things
so
before
we
switch
to
housing
and
then
we're
going
to
go
through
housing,
then
we're
going
to
open
up
wide
for
any
kind
of
questions,
we'll
follow
up.
What,
as
we
can,
please
send
your
questions
in
through
facebook
or
or
the
media
through
the
chat
here,
I
just
did
want
to
mention.
A
We
actually
released
today
a
the
results
of
a
digital
equity
survey
that
was,
I
think,
begun
conducted
in
april,
timely
in
a
way
to
to
look
at
the
availability
of
the
digital
infrastructure
in
our
community
challenges.
Problems,
and
that
survey
was
released
today
and
one
minor
piece
in
terms
of
money
about
35
000
in
the
recover
forward
is
meant
to
just
start
responding
to
some
of
those
needs
where
we
we.
A
We
now
have
some
data
that
we
didn't
have
before,
showing
who
and
kind
of
what
sectors
of
our
of
our
community
may
be
missing
access
to
the
internet,
what
it
means
to
them
and
their
households
for
employment,
for
education
for
life
and
we're
starting
we've
seen,
for
example,
some
significant
minority
but
number
of
low-income
households.
That
say,
I
just
have
no
connection
to
the
internet,
no
digital
access,
others
of
older
populations
or
lower
income
populations.
Who
report
I
really
need
more
skills.
A
I
want
to
know
better
how
to
use
what
I
can
get
access
to
and
other
indicators
like
that,
and
this
little
grant
program
is
meant
to
start
putting
the
toe
in
to
say
what
partners
are
there
out
there,
whether
it's
the
school
corporation
or
whether
it's
area
10
on
aging
or
boys
and
girls,
clubs
or
those
guys?
What
kind
of
partners
might
there
be?
Who
can
help
us
now
that
we
have
a
little
better
picture
of
some
of
the
specific
areas
of
digital
access
that
we
can
do
to
help
with
that?
A
So
that's
part
of
the
recovery
forward
too.
I
I
I
sometimes
say
the
digital
access
is
for
the
21st
century,
like
electricity
and
running
water
were
for
the
20th
century.
It's
just
it's!
You
got
to
have
it
if
you're
going
to
be
a
participant
in
the
modern
world-
and
we
know
some
people
aren't
having
it.
So
that's
that's
part
of
the
economic
side,
so
doris,
let's,
let's
turn
to
housing.
A
For
a
little
bit
and
I'll
I'll
pass
it
over
to
you,
I
know
we
released
yesterday
a
housing
study,
and
you
might
just
very
briefly
describe
that.
I
know
it's
a
big
document.
We
can't
go
through
much
of
it,
but
maybe
that
kind
of
leads
us
up
also
to
looking
at
the
recover
forward
component
of
housing,
which
is
particularly
looking
at
home
ownership,
since
all
with
lots
of
work,
we've
been
doing
on
rental
properties
and
rental
affordability,
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
A
But
we
as
a
city,
it's
been
more
difficult
to
to
figure
out
how
to
help
people
access
ownership,
and
I
know
we're
exploring
that
too,
and
thank
you
for
joining
us.
I
know
not
on
the
best
of
occasions.
Doris
is,
is
off
work
recovering
and
we
appreciate
you
giving
your
time
and
attention
today.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you
mayor
again,
I'm
doris
sims,
I'm
the
director
of
the
city's
housing
and
neighborhood
development
department.
And
yes
yesterday,
we
released
our
long-awaited
housing
study.
The
housing
study
was
conducted
last
year
using
the
same
consultant
that
worked
with
roi
to
develop
their
study.
The
roi
study
pretty
much
covered
monroe
county.
E
Of
course,
we
know
that
bloomington
is
a
part
of
it
and
what
we
wanted
to
be
able
to
do
is
a
deeper
dive
into
bloomington,
what
type
of
housing
that
we
currently
have,
what
our
future
housing
needs
and
what
type
of
programs
that
we
can
implement
to
increase
the
amount
of
housing
that's
available
here
in
bloomington.
So
that's
why
I'm
glad
to
be
here
today
to
share
with
you
two
down
payment
assistance
programs
that
will
be
part
of
the
economic
recovery
package.
E
So
how
the
shared
equity
program
would
work
is
that
after
someone,
a
first-time
home
buyer
is
looking
for
a
mortgage.
They
can
get
a
second
mortgage
up
to
50
000
and
that
would
help
to
eliminate
pmi
or
property
mortgage
insurance.
And
so
what
that
does
is
that
that
lowers
the
person's
monthly
mortgage
cost
by
not
having
to
pay
pmi.
But
on
the
same
token,
it
gives
them
instant
equity
in
the
property.
E
So
that's
really
exciting
and
then,
if
they
go
to
sell
the
property
in
the
future,
there's
a
possibility
that
the
next
home
buyer
of
that
property
can
take
over
that
initial
investment
of
the
city
of
50
000
to
increase
decrease
the
cost
of
buying
that
home.
So
it
allows
that
home
to
be
able
to
be
perfectly
affordable
over
time
for
anyone
who
purchases
the
property.
A
Thank
you,
doris
and,
and
I
know
from
the
study
I
I
don't
know
if
I've
read
all
89
pages
or
whatever,
how
it's
it's
pretty
long,
but
I've
I've
looked
at
it.
There
are
indications
of
of
gaps.
We
know
bloomington,
for
example,
has
much
lower
home
ownership
than
than
many
communities
our
size.
A
We
expect
that
somewhat
because
of
the,
of
course,
the
university
presence
here,
but
even
compared
to
some
significant
university
cities,
we
have
a
pretty
low
home
ownership
rate,
maybe
35
percent,
or
something
like
that,
and
while
you
and
I
know,
we've
been
working
very
hard
on
rental
affordability,
with
hundreds
of
newly
affordable
rental
units
created
or
preserved
over
the
last
four
years.
A
Maybe
you
can
you
can
mention
some
of
the
work
we're
going
to
do
on
like
at
the
at
17th
street
and
and
the
hospital
reused
with
property
that
we
control,
but
this
this
other
program
that
that
you've
described
is
really
trying
to
help
right
now,
people
in
the
marketplace
who
just
find
it
hard
to
get
a
home
and
maybe
talk
about
kind
of
the
value
of
homes.
We're
talking
about
the
the
people
who
who
are
trying
to
help
make
sure
they
can
get
a
get
a
stake
in
bloomington.
E
So
yes,
one
of
the
things
that
came
out
from
the
housing
study
is
that
we
have
a
low
amount
of
individuals
who
are
homeowner,
as
the
mayor
stated,
but
also
that
what
affordable
house,
the
average
cost
of
that
is
about
219,
000
and
homes
in
that
price
range.
E
Pretty
much
are
on
the
marketplace
and
off
within
30
days,
and
so
what
we
want
to
be
able
to
do
with
the
program
is
to
help
afford
affordable
homeowners
people
to
be
affordable,
homeowners
and
be
able
to
access
the
marketplace
in
a
timely
manner,
with
being
able
to
have
this
funding
through
this
down
payment
assistance
program.
E
I
know
that
the
yeah
the
study
talked
about
different
avenues
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
we
do
have
two
projects
for
home
ownership.
Coming
up,
one
is
17th
street
a
developer
has
graciously
given
the
city.
I
will
be
giving
the
city
45
a
buildable
lots
to
do
home
ownership
as
well.
As
we
know,
the
hospital
property
is
another
property
that
may
be
available
for
affordable
housing
development,
but
that's
down
the
line.
A
And
I'm
going
to
get
to
a
question
in
the
chat
as
well,
but
first
doris,
maybe
you
can
also
explain.
I
think
the
these
are
two.
These
are
two
programs
that
help
people
get
home
ownership,
the
first
one,
the
ten
thousand
dollar
is
kind
of
it's
obviously
smaller
than
fifty
thousand.
It's
really
just
to
help
help
you
get
over
the
hump.
If
you
have
cash
down
payment
issues
that
you
need-
and
you
already
have
that
program
in
hand.
A
This
is
that's
federally
funded,
but
federal
funds
limit
who
can
be
helped,
and
this
is
a
way
to
just
expand.
Who
can
be
helped
on
that
that
really
just
the
down
payment
assistance
and
and
similarly
the
the
shared
equity
appreciation
is
kind
of
covering
what
what
some
of
us
might
call
work,
workforce
housing.
These
are
typically
families
or
households
that
have
employment.
They
can
get
them,
they
can
get
a
mortgage,
but
they
just
have
trouble
getting
into
the
into
the
marketplace,
and
I
think
that
number
you
shared
of
220-
that's
really
county
wide
median.
E
A
E
So
currently,
the
department,
the
housing,
open
development
department,
which
we
work
with
federal
funds,
offer
a
down
payment
assistance
program
but
because
they're
federal
dollars
they
limit
how
of
the
income
level
of
a
person
who
can
qualify,
and
so
we
have
to.
We
can
only
serve
people
or
80
or
less
immediate
income.
E
And
what's
good
about
the
down
payment
assistance
program
under
the
economic
recovery
program,
is
that
anywhere
between
81
and
120
of
median
income
can
qualify
for
that
10
000
down
payment
and
usually,
as
like
the
mayor
stated,
these
are
people
who
need
additional
just
a
little
more
additional
funding
to
help,
maybe
with
some
closing
costs
that
they
may
have
a
thousand
dollars
towards
closing
costs.
But
maybe
they
need
actual
two
thousand
dollars
and
maybe
help
them
with
a
down
payment
of
maybe
an
additional
two
thousand
dollars.
E
So
that's
how
this
program,
funds
them
and
be
able
to
help
them
to
build
economic
wealth
as
well.
A
Great,
so
I'm
gonna
open
it
wide.
I
have
a
question
for
doris
from
emily.
Then
pat,
I
have
a
question
for
you,
that's
in
the
chat
and
then
please
people
weigh
in
and
and
if
others
other
comments
that
you
have
but
doris
there's
a
question
here
from
emily
earnsberger
about.
Is
there
any
limit
to
the
number
of
people
who
can
participate
in
the
two
programs
you
listed
and
how
much
money
is
going
to
those
programs?
Again,
that's
just
for
this
four
month
period
that
we're
trying
to
fund
right
now.
E
So
I
believe
we
have
about
fifty
thousand
dollars
going
towards
the
first
down
payment
assistance
program
and
then
another
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
going
towards
the
shared
equity
program.
So
you
know
the
funds
will
be
there
until
they
run
out
and
so
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
utilize
all
the
funding
by
the
end
of
the
year
and
then
have
some
funding
available
through
other
sources
for
next
year
to
continue
the
program
depending
on
how
successful
they
are.
A
A
Great
so
I'll
try!
Thank
you
so
much
and
pat
I
got
a
couple
for
you.
One
is
you
may
have
touched
on
this,
but
just
help
help
help
people
understand
what
the
outreach
may
be
like
for
for
bringing
people
into
coding
who
may
not
know
they
want
to
be
coders,
yet
they
may
not
be
traditional
potential
employees,
but
what
kind
of
experience
maybe
other
places
have
have
in
outreach
are
due,
and
that's
I'll
give
you
a
second
question
later,
we'll
just
do
one
at
a
time.
D
Sure
so
so.
C
Generally,
the
kind
of
the
the
profile
of
the
person
is
just
generally
analytical
and
logical,
so
it
doesn't
necessarily
matter
what
type
of
background
they
have.
C
We
might
try
to
hone
in
on
certain
types
of
backgrounds
just
for
marketing
purposes,
just
to
be
able
to
say
hey
if
you're
in
this
particular
industry,
you
might
be
a
good
fit
for
coding
and
programming,
but
what
we
found
at
hennepin,
my
previous
company
was,
we
were
looking
for
really
analytical
logical
people
and
we
would
put
them
through
a
10-week
training
program
and
those
folks
came
from
all
different
types
of
backgrounds.
C
We
had
a
a
formally
unemployed,
trumpet
tutor
who
now
works
at
google,
we
had
a
former
monroe
county
animal
control
person
who
is
now
vice
president
of
search
at
bank
of
america,
so
we
had
really
wide
backgrounds.
I
would
suspect
that
folks
in
the
coding
program
are,
are
going
to
be
similar,
and
so
you
know
when
we
look
at
kind
of
who
to
target
you
know
we
want
to
try
to
cast
a
wide
net
as
possible
through
newspaper
advertising
through
radio
advertising.
C
We'll
take
a
look
at
assessment
tests
as
well.
That'll.
Be
one
thing
that
that
we
look
at
and
that
won't
be
the
only
the
only
kind
of
data
point
we
look
at,
but
those
have
a
really
good,
predictive
indicator
of
success
and
when
you
combine
them
with
things
like
pre-work,
is
somebody
willing
to
do
40
hours
worth
of
work
to
be
enrolled?
Those
are
really
strong
indicators
that
they'll
be
successful
in
the
program.
A
Great,
let
me
give
you
another
follow-up
to
you
pat
and
endorse.
There's,
maybe
one
coming
to
you.
So
this
is
I'm
quoting
reading
a
question
from
v
square
beacon
to
pat.
Can
you
confirm
that
the
initial
tuition
for
the
coding
school
will
be
just
two
hundred
dollars?
Will
the
will
the
donation
of
some
part
of
the
future
salary,
differential
and
or
time
be
a
contractual
obligation
that
students
have
and
then,
when
do
you
hope
the
first
class
will
launch
three
questions.
C
So
the
answer
to
the
first
question
is
yes:
I
can
confirm
that
the
initial
tuition
is
going
to
be
just
200.
That's
based
off
of
our
our
current
budget.
C
It
was
previously,
I
think,
800
dollars,
so
we
were
able
to
whittle
it
down
quite
a
bit,
and
so
our
team
has
worked
really
hard
over
the
last
six
weeks
to
figure
out
how
to
make
the
program
more
equitable
for
as
many
people
as
possible,
the
the
donation
that
culture
kind
of
pay
it
forward
that
we're
trying
to
create
that's
going
to
be
purely
voluntary.
C
Our
previous
version
of
the
pay
it
4
program
was
going
to
be
contractual
through
an
isa
which
is
an
income
share
agreement.
It's
becoming
more
and
more
popular
at
traditional
colleges
and
universities,
where
you
contractually
agreed
to
pay
a
percentage
of
your
salary
based
upon
the
school
waiving
initial
tuition,
and
what
we
felt
like
we
really
wanted
to
do
was
not
hold
people
contractually
to
that
to
make
the
program
more
open
and
equitable
for
everybody
that
we're
gonna
simply
foster
a
really
really
strong
culture
of
pay.
C
It
forward
and
really
emphasize
that
for
for
these
students,
who
graduate
and
get
jobs
that
pay
to
three
two
to
three
times
as
much
as
what
they're
currently
earning
now
they
were
able.
You
know
they
had
that
opportunity,
because
somebody
else
paid
it
forward
right.
Then
the
government
is
putting
in
money
for
this
and
make
the
syst
program
sustainable
for
other
students.
They
need
to
hopefully
pay
into
that
as
well,
and
it's
not
just
an
actual
donation
right.
We
want
people
to
donate
their
time
as
well.
C
So
if
somebody
is
not
able
to
donate
part
of
their
salary
increase,
they
can
donate
time,
and
the
last
question
is
when
we
hope
the
first
class
will
class
will
launch
so
that's
depending
upon
when
we
get
funding
so
really
as
soon
as
we
get
funding
we're
we're
ready
to
get
started
with
everything.
If
it
looks
like
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
funding
within,
say
the
next
two
to
three
months.
C
We
might
start
the
program
on
a
much
smaller
scale,
with
with
some
dollars
that
we
do
have
so.
Instead
of
120
students,
we
might
start
with
10
students,
for
instance,
because
we
do
want
to
get
started
just
as
soon
as
possible,
but
as
soon
as
we
can
secure
the
the
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
funding.
That's
when
that's
when
we'll
start
marketing
the
program
and
we'll
be
able
to
start
the
cohort.
Shortly
after
that.
A
Great
great
anything
you
want
to
add
to
any
of
that
jane
we
we
haven't.
We
haven't
directed
a
question
to
you,
but.
B
Well,
you
know,
I
always
like
to
promote
buea
programming,
and
I
would
just
point
out
that
if.
B
Well,
the
bba
is
the
bloomington
urban
enterprise
association
and
it
is
a
zone
that
was
set
in
1993
to
be
it
was
just
targeted
for
economic
stimulus,
and
so
there
is
this.
There
are
certain
tax
benefits
available
to
businesses
within
this
geographic
footprint,
and
then
there
are
certain
benefits
available
to
residents
who
live
in
this
area
and
there
are
for
residents,
there's
a
scholarship
program
that
totals
twelve
hundred
dollars.
So
if
you
were
a
person
who
happened
to
live
in
this
area
that
stretches
from
you
know.
E
B
17Th
street
down
to
country
club
west
of
walnut,
you
could
apply
for
really
low
barrier
funding
to
apply
to
the
code
school,
so
you
could
get
your
200
covered,
but
it's
not
limited.
To
that
I
mean
you
can
apply
it
to
any
training
that
you're
working
on.
A
Great
there's
a
follow-up
to
me
saying
how
soon
after
the
city
council
approves
the
appropriation,
would
it
be
able
to
get
into
the
coding
school
and
the
answer
to
that
is
very
quickly.
This
is
these:
are
funds
that
are
actually
in
the
city
budget
coffers,
but
they
need
to
be
reappropriated,
but
if
the
appropriation
ordinance
is
passed
in
a
week
or
two,
which
is
what
we
hope
excuse
me
that
could
get
to
the
coding
school
within
a
very
short
matter
of
weeks,
I
think
so.
We
hope
that
would
start
this
fall.
A
Pardon
me,
I
have
a
little
cough.
Let
me
just
mute
while
I
cough
so
you
don't
all
have
so
doris.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
this
in
our
world,
this
80
ami
and
the
federal
focus
on
on
below
80
ami,
which
is
completely
understandable
to
help
kind
of
the
lower
income
get
into
home
ownership?
A
But
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
experience
of
the
volume
of
that
program
in
home
ownership
versus
what
the
80
to
120
may
open
up,
and
I
realized
we
probably
also
ought
to
mention
the
osage
place
and
habitat
home
ownership.
As
an
opportunity,
that's
coming
to
separate
from
this,
but
maybe
you
can
talk
about
both
those.
E
So
through
the
hand
department,
we
do
a
class
called
home,
a
home
buyers,
clients
and,
as
part
of
our
home
buyers
class.
We
teach
about
the
home
buying
process
for
first-time
homebuyers,
but
also
as
part
of
that
class
is
where
we
get
applicants
who
are
interested
in
our
federal
down
payment
and
closing
cost
assistance
program
and
a
lot
of
times.
E
The
second
starts
the
second
week
of
september
and
open
enrollment
opens
up
next
week,
but
that's
a
good
class
for
people
to
take
to
learn
about
the
home
buying
process,
but
also
you
know.
We
have
a
housing
counselor
on
staff
who
can
talk
to
someone
who's
interested
in
any
of
our
down
payment
assistance
programs
and
how
that
it
would
benefit
them.
A
Great-
and
I
would
just
mention
you
know-
I
think,
with
these
programs-
sometimes
people
households
find
that
their
cost
of
ownership,
particularly
with
these
kind
of
shared
appreciation
and
down
payment
assistance.
If
you
can,
if
you
can
avoid
the
need
for
private
mortgage
insurance,
the
your
your
your
housing
costs
can
be
no
higher
as
an
owner
than
they
are
as
a
renter
in
this
market
for
for
similar
quality
housing,
and
so
that's
really
important
to
deal
with.
A
I
might
also
I'm
just
reading
some
comments
here
too,
that
when
we
talk
about
housing,
affordability,
we
off
we
get
into
housing,
speak
sometimes,
but
housing.
Affordability
really
is
talking
about
just
trying
to
make
sure
nobody
has
to
spend
more
than
30
percent
of
their
income
on
housing.
A
Whatever
your
income
is,
if
your
income
is
zero,
it's
trying
to
make
sure
you
can
have
housing
that
that
lets
you
have
a
decent
place,
but
if
you're,
if
you're,
if
your
income
is
twenty
thousand
a
year
or
fifty
thousand
a
year
or
a
hundred
thousand
a
year,
trying
to
try
to
be
sure
that
you
don't
have
aren't
paying
more
than
thirty
percent
of
your
of
your
household
income
on
housing
to
keep
it
affordable.
A
And
we
know
that
particularly
that
kind
of
80
to
120
percent
of
median
income,
which
may
be
the
kind
of
the
40
to
70
000
dollar
annual
income,
that
there
are
many
households
that
struggle
with
those
housing.
I
guess
that
was
in
the
housing
study
right,
I
think
we
found
was
it
30
percent
of
our
owners
or
some
number
were.
E
40
of
our
40
of
homeowners
are
are
cost
burdened,
and
that
means
that
they
pay
more
than
30
of
their
income,
as
the
mayor
said,
for
housing
costs
and
that's
just
a
baseline
for
whether
you
are
a
homeowner
or
whether
you
rent,
no
more
than
30
percent
of
your
income
should
go
towards
your
housing
costs.
A
Great
well,
I
want
to
offer
if
there
are
any
more
questions,
people
are
welcome
to
raise
them.
I
want
to
kind
of
circle
back
to
where
we
were
at
the
beginning
and
just
kind
of
remembering
framing
this,
that
what
we're,
what
we're
talking
about
with
recover
forward
is
trying
to
do
the
things
that
city
government
can
do,
and
there
are
only
so
many
things
we
can
do
in
the
context
of
a
major
national
economic
collapse
and
and
the
challenges
that
we
have.
A
A
How
to
invest
that
money
in
the
next
four
months
in
the
end
of
this
year.
That
can
help
move
us
forward
in
the
right
direction.
We
will
be
talking
about
this.
If
you
want
to
get
more
tonight
at
the
city
council
meeting
starting
at
6
30,
and
then
then
they
will
consider
it
again
next
week
on
the
12th
to
to
vote
on
this
special
appropriation
request.
A
But
we
welcome
suggestions
and
comments.
Everybody
here
has
been
working
with
partners
in
the
community
to
try
to
think
about
this
and
I'll
probably
go
around
the
horn
to
each
of
you.
If
you
want
to
make
any
closing
comments
and
if
we
get
any
more
questions
in
that
period
of
time,
I'll
do
so,
but
but
why
don't
we
go
we'll,
go
in
the
same
order
and
just
let
you
kind
of
sum
up
what
you've?
What
else
you've
heard
today
and
anything
you
want
to
share
with
folks
so
jane
I'll,
go
to
you.
B
Yeah,
I
don't
know
that
I
have
any
particular
closing
comments.
Just
that
I'd
like
to
reiterate:
we
we
love
feedback
and
we
need
it
in
order
to
develop
programs
that
properly
suit
our
community.
We
do
our
best
to
try
to
understand
what's
happening
out
on
the
streets,
but
we
really
need
the
communication
to
be
kind
of
constant
and
open.
So
so,
please
reach
out
to
us.
A
Thanks,
thank
you.
Thank
you
jane.
I
suppose
it's
it's
worth
remembering.
What
we
are
doing
are
some
of
these
in
some
ways
are
pilots
leading
to
you
know,
we
we've
named
a
number
of
different
efforts
and
the
ones
that
work
best
are
the
ones
that
are
likely
to
be
invested
in
more.
A
We
may
find
that
some
of
these
may
not
get
the
traction
for
whatever
reason
that
we
that
we
want,
while
others
may
get
more
traction
and
and
so
feedback
on
that
is
really
important
and
and
what
we'll
be
doing
over
the
next
few
months
is,
is
putting
these
into
place
and
finding
out
what
does
work.
You
know
pat
I'll,
go
to
you
thanks.
C
Yeah,
thank
you
john.
I
just
have
really
two
two
things
to
add.
One
is
you
know
this
program
has
that
the
coding
school
program
has
the
potential
to
transform
lives
for
a
lot
of
struggling
individuals,
families
and
all
of
monroe
county.
So
you
know
we
worked
really
hard
at
the
mill
to
to
come
up
with
this
idea,
to
bring
it
to
life
and
especially
to
reduce
the
budget
on
this.
So
initially
we
asked
for
a
quarter
of
a
million
dollars.
C
We
spent
the
last
four
to
six
weeks,
really
sharpening
our
pencil
working
with
treehouse
to
reduce
costs
and
we've
lowered
it
to
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
so
we
we
hope
that
you
know.
By
doing
so,
it
increases
the
the
chances
that
this
all
be
approved
by
city
council.
The
second
thing
I
wanted
to
add
was
there
was
a
question
earlier
from
peter
gorfman
about
what
bloomington
is
doing
to
support
and
attract
remote
workers.
C
I
mean
specifically,
he
he
mentioned
a
program
called
tulsa
remote
that
actually
pays
people
to
move
there
and
be
and
be
a
remote
worker.
So
so
I
wanted
to
comment
on
that.
First,
the
mill
is
the
perfect
place
for
remote
workers.
C
You
know
if
you
haven't
been
here
when
you
first
walk
in
you'll,
see
that
the
architects
just
did
an
amazing
job,
transforming
this
century-old
furniture
factory
into
a
center
of
innovation
for
for
for
the
current
century,
nobody
walks
in
and
says
the
mill
I
I
would
hate
to
work
here.
I
hate
all
this
natural
light.
I
hate
the
original
wood
floors.
C
I
hate
the
exposed
red
exposed,
brick,
and
so
I
think,
just
by
having
a
19
000
square
foot
facility
here,
like
this,
that's
a
huge
huge
attraction,
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
folks
from
kelly
already
spending
a
lot
of
time
here
this
summer,
as
they
are
doing
their
internships.
All
virtual
this
year,
we've
had
a
pretty
big
increase
in
in
kelly
students
doing
those,
and
we
would
expect
some
of
that
to
continue
on
through
the
fall
specific
to
the
program
like
tulsa
remote,
so
we've
actually
tried
to
contact
these
folks.
C
For
for
the
last
I
don't
know
three
or
four
months,
and
and
when
I
saw
the
question
first
come
in,
I
I
went
to
the
website
to
see
if
there
was
any
new
information
on
there
and
it
looks
like
they're
now,
funded
by
a
foundation.
C
So
previously
there
wasn't,
it
didn't
seem
like
there
was
a
benefactor.
So
that's
something
we're
going
to
look
into
again.
We've
heard
really
good
things
online
about
the
concept
of
paying
people
to
to
move
to
a
city.
Anecdotally.
We
haven't
heard
really
great
things
about
the
program
itself
or
similar
programs
about
paying
people
to
to
work
there.
I
do
think
in
concept,
though
it
should
work
right.
Bloomington
has
a
really
great
quality
of
place.
C
It's
a
great
place
to
raise
families,
and
so
we
think
that
conceptually
it
should
work,
but
we
need
to
contact
those
folks
and
now
that
I
see
that
they've
got
a
benefactor,
it
might
be
a
little
easier
to
get
in
touch
with
them.
So
so
we
have
looked
into
that,
but
haven't
got
very
far
but
but
we'll
but
we'll
try
again
and
thank
you
for
the
question,
because
that
problem
prompted
me
to
take
another
hard
look
at
it
again.
C
E
Thank
you
first
off
I
want
to
put
in
another
plug
for
the
housing
study
that
was
completed.
You
can
find
it
online
on
the
city's
web
page
under
our
affordable
housing
strategy.
Page.
The
housing
study
has
a
lot
of
good
information.
E
It's
not
only
good
for
residents,
but
for
anyone,
developers,
bankers,
even
employers,
because
it
covers
the
demographics
of
our
community.
How
we
see
bloomington
will
grow
over
time
and
then
it
talks
about
the
housing,
that's
actually
needed.
It
talks
about
the
different
themes
of
housing
that
we
have
here
in
our
community,
and
it
also
offers
input
on
some
programs
that
we
can
implement
to
assist
in
the
growth
of
housing
within
our
community.
E
So
that
would
be
a
great
resources
for
a
lot
of
groups
and
entities
moving
forward
and
then
finally,
on
the
two
down
payment
assistance
programs.
I
think
those
are
two
great
programs,
as
the
mayor
mentioned
earlier,
we
have
implemented
or
have
us
that
type
of
program
already
in
the
hand
department,
but
this
will
allow
us
to
service
a
larger
income
level
of
households
who
are
out
there
looking
for
housing
within
the
bloomington
community
and
just
need
that
extra
assistance
to
be
able
to
realize
the
dream
of
home
ownership.
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
I'll
just
bootstrap
on
that
doris
kind
of
making.
The
reminder
comment
that,
as
the
city
continues
to
thrive,
which
we
we
hope
and
do
all
we
can
to
ensure
that
there
there
is
a
challenge
of
making
sure
we
retain
equitable
access
to
people.
You
know
the
word.
Gentrification
is
a
real
challenge.
We
are
the
most
expensive
housing
market
in
the
state.
A
It
makes
it
difficult
for
people
sometimes
to
to
live
and
work
and
raise
their
family
right
in
bloomington
and
that's
a
challenge
economically
kind
of
from
the
equity
side.
It's
also
a
challenge
kind
of
in
our
climate
footprint.
If
we,
if
we
can't
let
more
people
who
work
in
our
community,
live
near
where
they
work
and
play
and
get
educated.
So
all
this
is
kind
of
linked
together.
A
I
probably
should
have
said
at
the
beginning,
these
three
pillars
of
racial
justice,
economic
justice
and
climate
justice
very
often
intersect
and
interact
in
ways
and
much
of
what
we
talked
about
today
is
true
about
that.
For
these
jobs
programs
in
the
housing,
we
did
get
a
little
question.
I
know
I
we
didn't
get
to,
but
I'll
try
to
just
touch
on
it,
asking
about
eviction
and
some
of
the
challenges,
and
it's
absolutely
true
that
the
best
thing
you
can
do
to
support
housing
is
not
have
anybody
get
evicted
from
housing
that
they
already
have.
A
The
county
is
doing
work
already:
they've
appropriated
funds
county-wide
covering
the
city
and
the
county
through
the
township
offices,
which
is
kind
of
a
basic
infrastructure
for
the
protection
against
eviction.
I'm
I'm
mostly
a
cheerleader
for
that
trying
to
encourage
that
the
county
make
from
their
resources
more
available
if
needed,
to
protect
against
eviction
relief.
We
certainly
hope
the
federal
government
will
continue
and
the
state
government
continue
to
put
that
eviction
protection
in
place,
because
an
eviction
just
starts
a
an
avalanche
of
problems
and
and
and
bad
outcomes
for
for
households.
A
So
anything
we
can
do
to
avoid.
Evictions
is
very
well
invested,
so
we
certainly
stand
ready
as
a
partner
in
that,
but
the
basic
infrastructure
for
that
is
kind
of
from
the
county
through
the
township
trustees
offices,
which
they've
begun
and
I'm
encouraging
that
that
be
as
strong
and
as
much
available
as
needed.
So
so
we're
right
up
against
the
hour.
I'm
going
to
thank
again
jane
cooper
smith,
pat
east
doris
sims,
for
your
participation
in
here.
Everybody
who
participated
recover
forward
is
continuing
to
try
to
think
about.
A
How
do
we,
as
a
community
climb
out
of
this
challenge,
point
the
directions
we
want
to
go
and
these
short-term
near-term
investments
that
you've
outlined
are
really
helpful
to
understand
some
of
the
strategy
with
that,
so
you
can.
You
can
give
us
more
questions
on
facebook
or
through
the
mayor's
office
if
you
want,
but
for
that
we'll
call
it
a
wrap
and
thanks
everybody
for
your
participation.
