My
name
is
malcolm
graham
chairman
of
the
great
neighborhood
committee
and
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
welcome
each
and
every
one
of
you
to
our
wednesday
september
5th.
Meeting
this
meeting
is
being
streamed,
live
from
room
14
here
at
the
government
center.
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
welcome
each
and
everyone
who
is
present
today,
our
council
members,
and
so
let's
introduce
council
members
and
those
who
are
visiting
with
us
virtually
first
and
then
we'll
introduce
those
who
are
in
the
room
and
we'll
start
with
councilmember
bukhari.
J
Thank
you,
councilmember.
Graham,
the
agenda,
as
you
said,
is
very
straightforward
to
informational
updates,
you'll
hear
about
status
on
the
source
of
income.
Discrimination
teams
obviously
been
hard
at
work
for
a
number
of
months.
Building
up
to
a
report
out
with
recommendations
to
council
before
the
end
of
the
year
and
you'll
also
receive
an
update
on
a
range
of
strategies.
You
know
there's
a
lot
going
on
associated
with
anti-displacement
efforts
staying
in
place
efforts
with
the
neighborhood
equity
and
stabilization
committee
that
you'll
be
pulling
together
over
the
next
four
to
six
weeks.
J
G
Excellent
good
afternoon
committee,
members
and
guests
committee
members,
you
all
have
stressed
to
us
over
many
months
that
we
need
to
tell
our
story
tell
your
story
of
the
great
work
that
you
all
are
doing
every
day
along
that
continuum
of
housing,
and
so
we
want
to
start
by
doing
that
today.
Just
want
to
share
a
quick
video
snippet
with
you
of
some
great
work
that
is
going
on
in
the
community
again
as
a
result
of
your
direct
investment.
You
all
have
invested.
G
Money
into
what's
now
the
howard
levine
men's
shelter,
and
so
you've
done
that
through
both
your
htf
and
your
emergency
solution
grant,
and
this
is
directly
for
the
homeless
population,
and
so,
if
you
would
wendy,
if
you
just
bring
up
the
brief
video
and
then
we'll
jump
right
into
our
agenda.
Thank
you.
F
F
F
We
also
here
have
offices
that
might
not
sound
that
exciting,
but
we
didn't
have
space
previously
for
housing,
navigators
and
employment
specialists
to
sit
so
we've
created
spaces
for
people
to
meet
one-on-one,
as
well
as
a
learning
lab
with
computers.
Where
folks
can
work
on
their
resumes,
connect
employment
opportunities
as
well
as
keep
up
relationships
with
family
and
friends.
F
K
You
can
tell
when
you
walk
through
it
the
thought
that
went
into
this
all
the
experiences
that
have
been
learned
from
other
shelters,
things
that
worked
and
things
that
didn't
work
and
being
able
to
put
them
in
place
in
a
new
building
is
doesn't
happen
very
often,
particularly
for
a
shelter.
So
it's
it's
very
exciting.
K
You
know
I
grew
up
working
at
family
dollar
and
dealt
with
a
lot
of
lower
income
folks
and
had
tons
of
time
that
I
talked
to
folks
customers
in
the
stores
and
what
I
found
was.
These
people
are
just
like
you
and
I
often
down
on
their
luck
things
that
might
not
bother
you
like
your
car
breaking
down
or
your
kid
being
home
and
you're
not
being
able
to
go
to
work.
These
are
obstacles
that
sometimes
prevent
them
from
holding
employment
and
impacting
their
lives.
K
What
I
really
like
is
you
know
this
isn't
a
permanent
shelter.
This
is
where,
where
they
come
to
get
back
in
shape,
to
be
able
to
go
out
and
get
a
job
and
be
productive
in
society,
which
is
in
my
view,
what
most
people
want
to
do,
and
so
they
just
need
that
little
help
and
push
and
whether
it's
big
or
small,
I
think
it
all
makes
a
difference
in
helping
make
charlotte
a
better
place
for
all
of
us.
G
C
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
congratulate
roof
above
for
an
amazing
facility.
They
have
invited
me
to
come
over
next
week
to
to
do
a
tour,
so
I
will
do
that
for
sure
and
again
you
can
see
what
the
the
dollars
that
we
have
invested
has
done
for
our
community
in
and
trying
to
raid
ourselves
of
homelessness
in
our
community,
but
certainly
providing
dignity
in
terms
of
housing
right
from
the
very
start,
so
miss
whiteman.
I
turned
it
back
to
you
for
our
first
agenda
item.
G
Excellent
this
is,
we
wanted
to
provide
you
when
you
all
charged
us
with
going
going
off
to
understand
the
source
of
income
issue,
and
you
all
established
this.
The
ad
hoc
advisory
committee,
one
of
the
things
that
you
asked
and
that
we
promised
is
that
we
would
update
the
council
along
the
way
as
we're
doing
the
work.
And
so
that's
what
the
purpose
of
this
report
is
today
we're
not
asking
you
for
any
action.
We
just
want
to
update
you
on
kind
of
where
the
ad
hoc
committee
is
at
this
point.
G
Many
of
you
are
aware,
if
not
all
that
the
committee
you
all
made
appointments.
The
committee
is
chaired
by
two
very
capable
leaders
in
our
community
kim,
graham
who
is
the
executive
director
of
the
charlotte
housing,
the
greater
charlotte
apartment
association
and
mark
etheridge,
who
is
partner
at
accent
realty,
and
so
with
that.
I
want
to
first
continue
to
thank
mark
and
kim
and
the
other
committee
members
for
the
great
work
that
they
continue
to
do
their
meeting
monthly.
G
H
H
This
is
really
something
that
shouldn't
happen
when
we're
talking
about
folks
with
vouchers
and
rental
subsidies.
We're
typically
talking
about
folks
earning
thirty
percent
of
mine
below
and
if
you
are
one
of
those
individuals
and
you're
lucky
enough
to
get
a
housing
choice,
voucher
or
another
form
of
rental
subsidy,
and
you
can't
find
housing.
It's
something
that
really
shouldn't
happen,
because
we
know
the
majority
of
folks
at
30
ami
below
will
not
have
access
to
rental
subsidies
or
vouchers
and
in
the
private
marketplace.
H
Without
philanthropic
or
public
sector
intervention,
the
the
private
marketplace
yields
zero
units
affordable
to
folks
making
thirty
percent
a
mine
below.
Frankly,
it
yields
about
zero
at
fifty
percent
of
mine
below,
and
so
this
is
an
issue.
We
need
to
think
hard
of
it's
an
issue
that
we
need
to
work
to
address.
H
That
shouldn't
be
one
of
the
things
that
exacerbate
our
affordable
housing
crisis,
how
to
be
what
sometimes
seem
insurmountable
issues
everywhere
else
right,
and
so
let
me
go
through
some
briefing
objectives,
we'll
work
through
this
presentation
and
obviously
I
think
you
all
will
be
excited
to
ask
us
some
questions
at
the
end.
If
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide
so
brief
background,
there
were
fair
housing
investigations
that
informed
both
the
formation
and
the
and
the
charge
of
this
committee
and
the
result
of
those
were
of
the
last
five
years.
H
The
city's
community
relations
committee
has
received
seven
inquiries
on
source
of
income
discrimination
of
the
seven.
There
were
two
that
were
eligible
for
investigation
by
the
crc
because
they
fell
within
existing
realms
of
familial
and
disability
status,
which
are
protected
classes
in
the
fair
housing
ordinance.
Five
other
cases
crc
offered
to
mediate,
but
the
complaints
were
eventually
withdrawn
and
I'll
present
that,
in
the
light
of
this,
obviously,
the
numbers
here
are
small
and
and
the
background
that
that
provides
us
is.
We
know
that
the
actual
complaints
on
discrimination
have
been
relatively
minou.
H
A
couple
statistics
just
to
couple
with
the
information
you
see
here.
Per
and
livian's
memo
on
this
topic
in
2019
21
of
their
voucher
holders,
were
unable
to
find
a
unit
a
housing
unit
and
be
a
lot
of
time.
They
had
to
search
between
2017
and
2019.
There
were
204
households
with
housing,
choice,
vouchers
that
were
unable
to
obtain
housing
in
their
allotted
time
period.
So
to
give
some
perspective
on
the
issue
and
what
led
us
to
the
formation
of
the
committee
in
the
charge.
H
I
want
you
all
to
keep
that
in
mind
next
slide.
Please
so
february
2nd
city
council
approved
the
creation
of
this
ad
hoc
advisory
group
with
the
charge
of
developing
program,
enhancements
and
process
improvements
to
increase
the
acceptance
of
all
forms
of
rental
subsidies,
including
the
housing
choice,
voucher
program,
which
is
the
largest
rental
subsidy
source
in
this
category.
H
On
april
14th,
this
committee
was
officially
appointed
next
slide.
Please,
our
charge
is
as
follows,
and
I
hope
the
background
I
provided
is
helpful.
In
speaking
through
this,
the
source
of
income
ad
hoc
advisory
committee
is
charged
with
developing
recommendations,
program,
enhancements
and
process
improvements
that
will
increase
the
acceptance
of
all
forms
of
rental
subsidies,
including
the
housing
choice,
voucher
program,
the
largest
source
of
rental
subsidies
in
our
community.
H
I
want
you
all
to
pay
attention
to
that
charge
very
clearly
and
keep
in
mind
two
things.
Our
task
is
not
to
solve
the
affordable
housing
crisis.
It's
to
do
what
this
charge
says.
Our
charge
is
also
not
to
create
a
legal
opinion
of
whether
we
think
source
of
income
discrimination
should
be
a
part
of
the
fair
housing
ordinance.
Our
charge
is
very
simple,
and
it's
pragmatic.
It's
to
increase
the
acceptance
of
housing,
choice,
vouchers
and
other
subsidies
in
the
marketplace
and
I'll
asterisk.
H
That
and
say
also
increase
the
acceptance
of
housing,
choice,
vouchers
and
rental
subsidies
in
areas
of
high
opportunity
in
our
community,
and
so
that's
what
we've
been
tasked
to
do
next
slide
please.
So
the
committee
is
composed
of
myself
and
tim,
graham,
who
are
the
co-chairs.
We
also
have
other
committee
members
here
that
represent
strong,
robust
backgrounds
and
our
community
leaders
in
their
own
right.
H
We
have
beverly
baukham
with
ezel
esl
nuzban,
realty
clay
grubb
with
grub
properties,
dr
moorhand,
with
the
united
methodist
church,
philip
tegler,
with
the
poverty
and
race
research,
action,
council,
fred
warren
with
fred
warren
realty
we've
been
supported
throughout
the
process
and
had
active
engagement
with
both
fulton
meacham
and
kimberly
cole
within
libyan,
and
obviously,
we've
been
the
beneficiaries
of
support
from
the
city
staff
members.
You
see
here,
in
addition
to
other
departments
that
we've
used,
which
I'll
talk
about
later
next
slide,
please.
H
So
we
have
been
meeting
since
may
on
a
monthly
basis.
You
can
see
the
meeting
dates
that
we've
done
so
far
as
pam
alluded
to.
We
have
a
meeting
tomorrow
morning
at
10
a.m.
All
of
you
are
welcome
to
join
any
of
those
meetings
they
are
broadcast
on
the
government
channel.
The
city's
facebook
and
youtube
pages
sounds
like
the
city's
communication
team
has
created
a
website
where
the
publics
can
access
all
of
our
meeting
materials.
H
J
H
H
So
as
it
relates
to
the
work
plan
as
a
follow-up
to
what
I
just
described,
the
data
and
research
team
is
really
tasked
with
evaluating
local
and
national
landlord
incentives.
Other
subsidy
enhancements
best
practices,
including
the
program
enhancements
that
libyan
launched
last
year.
It's
to
evaluate
other
data,
to
inform
recommendations
and
metrics
and
I'll
say
a
part
of
this
data
is
analyzing.
H
What
sort
of
results
we
think
will
be
yielded
by
some
of
the
actions
that
city
council
has
already
taken
in
both
you
know
mandating
the
inclusion
of
or
mandating
that
landlords
accept.
Those
with
rental
subsidies
and
city
supported
deals,
whether
it
be
housing,
trust
fund
or
other
sources
in
the
affordable
housing,
space
and
mapping.
H
On
the
communications
and
education
side,
the
goal
is
to
form
concrete
recommendations
to
increase
property
owner
awareness
and
participation
in
subsidy
programs
explored
a
targeted,
landlord
outreach
and
opportunity
areas.
Not
mass
marketing
but
really
a
rightful
approach
to
finding
landlord
relationships
to
expand
access
of
housing,
choice,
vouchers
and
other
subsidies
in
high
opportunity
areas
and
help
do
some
myth,
busting
and
stigma.
Removal
faced
by
both
voucher
holders
and
the
programs
that
are
trying
to
get
them
housed.
H
H
We
have
reviewed
information
on
what
other
housing
authorities
and
municipalities
are
doing
around
landlord
incentives,
and
it's
important
to
note
that
we're
lucky
in
charlotte
here
that
olivia
is
a
moving
to
work
housing
authority,
one
of
only
39
in
the
country
which
gives
them
more
autonomy
and
more
flexibility
than
other
housing
authorities
in
implementing
certain
program
enhancements
and
finding
ways
to
make
housing
choice.
Voucher,
work,
better.
H
H
We
received
information
from
olivia
and
on
their
2020
program,
enhancements
and
opportunity
areas
and
track
some
of
the
successes
they've
had
thus
far
and
have
thought
about
ways
to
either
optimize
those
or
complement
them.
In
other
means,
we've
met
with
charlotte
family
housing
and
social
serve,
which
are
two
other
local
subsidy
providers.
H
Given
the
pandemic
and
eviction
moratorium-
and
I
think
one
of
the
more
exciting
efforts
that
we've
launched
in
the
last
month
is
creative,
interactive
data
mapping
that
will
yield
effective
data
and
metric
settings
for
the
expansion
of
rental
subsidies,
especially
in
high
opportunity
areas,
and
so
this
is
a
map
that
not
only
maps
where
every
multi-family
apartment
complexes
in
charlotte.
It
also
can
match
that
against
where
moderate,
high
and
very
high
opportunity
areas
are,
as
defined
by
libyan
in
our
community.
H
We
can
look
at
where
the
payment
standards
are
rental
subsidies
based
guys
compared
to
average
rents
at
both
the
sub
market
and
the
census
tract
level,
and
also
where
those
payment
standards
relate
to
average
rents.
At
the
property
level,
we
can
figure
out
who
those
landlords
are
where
the
units
are
where
the
efficiencies
are
on
the
creases,
where
payment
standards
and
rents
really
coalesce
well
and
think
about
using
that
data
set
to
to
form
the
list
of
landlords
that
we
want
to
target
our
outreach
to,
and
so
like.
H
H
H
H
We
need
to
report
to
full
council
with
those
metrics
and
recommendations,
and
so
at
this
point
we're
about
90
days
out
from
that
process
and
are
really
looking
forward
to
yielding
some
of
the
fruits
of
our
labor
over
the
summer
into
concrete
recommendations
and
metrics,
and
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
is
that
our
last
slide
one
more
all
right.
One
more!
Thank
you
so
yeah
to
go
over
again
what
I
just
said:
we're
completing
the
work
ad
hoc
committee.
C
C
Mark,
thank
you,
mr
graham
again,
I
want
to
thank
mark
and
and
kim
for
their
work.
Over
the
last
couple
of
of
weeks
and
months,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
virtually
slip
in
and
watch
occasionally
I
I
don't
interrupt
because
it's
their
committee
and
their
they're
working,
but
I
just
was
keeping
up
with
them
from
afar
and
I
think
they're
doing
making
meaningful
progress
along
the
way.
Ms
wyman,
do
you
have
any
comments
to
make
before
I
turn
it
over
to
the
council
members
for
questions.
L
G
So
so,
and
mark
please
chime
in,
but
ms
wellington
from
your
staff,
this
does
include
market
rate
right,
so
we
know
that
the
largest
supplies
housing
is
for
market
is,
is
through
the
market
rate
provider.
So
yes,
this
work
is
in
tr
is,
is
includes,
increasing
the
acceptance
of
housing,
choice,
vouchers
and
other
rental
subsidies
in
in
market
rate
housing
as
well.
G
This
is
already
done
in
your
city,
supported
housing.
You
may
recall,
I
believe
it
was
last
committee
meeting
somebody
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
we
talked
about,
we
gave
you
all
an
update.
I
think
you
all
voted
out
of
committee
and
it
will
be
on
an
upcoming
agenda
about
how
we're
doing
our
recommendations
around
source
of
income
as
it
relates
to
city
supported
rezoning
and
your
tax
increment
grant
financing.
So
that
is
forthcoming
to
the
to
the
full
committee.
E
E
But
this
committee
was
kind
of
what
was
created
out
of
a
council
discussion
to
with
with
the
function
of
eradicating
source
of
income.
Discrimination
in
charlotte
are,
while
I
think,
with
the
the
what
was
dealt
with
in
the
last
committee,
where
we
are
kind
of
looking
at
a
policy
approach.
Are
we
basically
saying
that
we
think
the
only
way
to
eliminate
source
of
income?
Discrimination
is
on
a
voluntary
basis
by
hoping
folks
change
their
behavior?
Hence
the
the
focus
on
on
on
outreach.
G
So,
mr
winston
I'll
try
to
answer
that
as
best
as
I
can.
You
all
asked
us
to
go
to
go
off
and
to
say
to
to
understand.
If
we
well
one
to
we,
we
we
did
some
some
some
data
collection
was
to
see
if
crc
had
the
had
complaints
about
source
of
income
discrimination,
and
so
we
got
that
information
at
that
time
from
crc
and
then
you
all
said
in
order
to
to
do
before
you
did
an
ordinance.
G
When
we
report
back
to
you
in
jan
in
december,
if
I
think
at
that
time
you
all
can
reconcile
with
you
know,
did
this
committee
do
its
work?
Do
we
think,
through
the
education,
the
outreach,
the
work
they're
working
directly
with
market
rate
owners?
If
we
can
expand
the
use,
then
you
all
can
wrestle
with.
Is
this
enough
or
do
you
need
to
look
at
that
time?
Going
further
look
at
your
fair
housing
ordinance.
D
Thank
you
good
presentation,
look
forward
to
seeing
the
outcomes
of
this
committee.
I
guess
my
only
question
would
be
to
pam
and
mark
in
a
perfect
world.
I
think
it's
a
no-brainer
that
source
of
income
discrimination,
you
know,
approaches
and
programs
and
controls
make
total
sense.
I
think
one
of
the
things
we've
seen,
though,
is
there
are
impacts
to
the
landlords.
D
There
are
impacts
both
direct
and
kind
of
ancillary
impacts.
They
feel
that
makes
it
not
quite
a
no-brainer
slam
dunk.
So
how,
in
your
own
words,
do
you
plan?
Because
I
didn't
see
it
too
explicitly
stated
in
kind
of
the
framing
of
the
objective?
How
do
you
plan?
How
would
you
articulate
that
you
plan
to
take
that
into
account
and
analyze
that
and
understand
what
the
unintended
consequences
of
doing
something
could
be
downstream
to
the
ultimate
you
know
inventory
and
things
of
that
nature.
G
G
We
want
to
hear
from
a
financial
expert,
a
developer
in
terms
of
the
impacts
that
housing
choice,
vouchers
either
do
or
do
not
have
in
the
market,
and
then
the
the
other
thing
and
livian
has
been
a
wealth
of
information.
In
terms
of
you
know,
we
talked
about
payment
standards.
We
know
that
if
people
aren't
paid
on
time
you
know
that
could
that
could
impact
the
market
as
well.
G
H
Sure,
well,
I
think,
what's
interesting
about
this
is
yeah.
There
are
a
myriad
of
implications
right
and
I
think
job
number
one
of
our
committee
is
to
try
to
separate
facts
from
fiction,
because
if
you
look
at
survey
results
from
landlords,
I
think
there
are
things
that
you
can
go
in
there
and
say
yeah.
This
is
a
tangible
issue
and
there
are
things
that
I
think
is
more
about
stigma
than
it
is
about
reality.
H
Once
you
get
to
the
components
that
are
about
reality,
you
have
to
think
about
what
capacity
does
do
our
rental
subsidy
providers,
namely
in
libya
and
who's
the
largest
provider,
have
to
address
these
and
what
things
might
need
ancillary
support.
So
we
know
that
programs
exist
in
the
philanthropic
space
that
alleviates
some
issues,
both
from
a
process
perspective
and
from
a
risk
mitigation
perspective.
H
You
know
lotus
campaign
comes
to
mind
as
a
philanthropic
effort
that
encourages
landlords
to
participate
by
accepting
very
low
income
folks
with
rental
subsidies,
and
they
do
a
lot
on
the
risk
mitigation
side
as
it
pertains
to
those
security
deposits
and
damages
to
units
and
things
of
that
nature.
They
have
a
very
high
success
rate
and
a
good
story.
H
You
know
there
are
rental
subsidy
programs
that
today
are
having
a
success
rate
closer
to
100
percent.
We
know
that
the
largest
source
of
our
rental
subsidy
source,
which
is
housing
choice,
is
not
close
to
100
right
now,
and
so
what
are
the
realistic
ways
for
us
to
get
to
bridge
that
gap,
knowing
the
constraints
that
they
have
and
knowing
what
is
on
a
landlord's
mind,
which
is
one
economic
viability?
Will
the
voucher
pay
the
rent?
I
expect
and
then
to
risk
mitigation
right?
What
happens
if
something
goes
wrong?
H
Who
can
I
talk
to?
How
can
I
get
compensated,
and
so
those
are
the
things
that
we're
going
to
see
come
out
of
our
outreach
on
a
very
concrete
basis?
I
think
one
thing
that
you
you
have
to
appreciate
is
that
you
know
the
market
vacancy
today
in
charlotte
is
what
three
percent
at
best
right,
especially
if
you
eliminate
new
developments,
which
we
know
the
rents
are
going
to
be
too
expensive
to
accept
vouchers
that
have
the
higher
vacancy
because
they're
in
lease
up.
H
And
so,
if
you
look
at
stabilized
apartment
communities,
it
might
be
two
percent,
and
so
even
if
we
get
down
to
these
micro
census
tracts
where
we
can
identify
that
housing,
choice,
vouchers
and
other
subsidies
can
pay
the
rent
and
we
get
to
x
number
of
thousands
of
units.
We
know
that
we
then
have
to
take
that
number
of
units
multiply
it
by
two
percent
to
get
to
our
available
unit,
and
then
we
realistically
have
to
think
of
that
two
percent
vacancy.
H
H
It's
not
19
000
units
like
we
need
at
30
ami
we're
probably
talking
about
hundreds
of
units,
and
so
that's
why
we
can
get
this
granular,
but
it's
certainly
a
challenge,
and
it's
going
to
take
that
sort
of
micro
analysis
for
us
to
get
there
and
say
if
we
just
solve
the
economic
viability
issue,
it
might
yield
this
plus.
We
have
the
obstacle
about
landlord
apprehension
on
risk
mitigation.
H
You
know:
coordination
with
the
philanthropic
sector
or
the
private
sector
to
think
about
how
else
do
we
wrap
around
this
issue
to
try
to
enhance
that
success
rate?
And
all
that
is
a
long
way
of
saying?
Not
only
do
we
need
to
get
the
success
rate
to
100,
we
need
to
change
the
map
of
where
vouchers
are
because
the
map
of
where
vouchers
are
right
now
is
discouraging.
H
There's
none
on
the
wedge.
You
know
so
that's
what
that's
where
we
got
it,
so
we
got
to
figure
out
where
our
creases
last,
and
so
I
think,
I
think,
we're
looking
at
it
pretty
pretty
robustly
and
we're
trying
to
get
as
granular
as
we
can
and
we
have
dozens
and
dozens
and
dozens
of
survey.
Responses
from
landlord
that
in
libya
has
fielded
like.
D
Yeah
that
makes
a
ton
of
sense.
I
really
appreciate
I,
I
think
I
love
the
math
angle
that
you're
going
to
do.
I
think
it
will
be
incredibly
helpful
and
I'll
ask
you
to
put
extra
emphasis
on
delivering
back
to
us.
You
know
that
fact
versus
stigma.
I
think
that
that
is
a
huge
one,
and
often
we
don't
know
what
to
push
back
on
and
what
to
say.
Yeah,
that's
a
thing,
so
a
real,
detailed
analysis
coming
back
to
us,
I
think,
will
be
super
helpful
there.
D
But
then
I
I
would
just
say
the
only
thing,
in
addition
to
add,
is
really
putting
that
focus
on
for
the
fact
pieces
of
it.
You
know
what
what
what's
going
on
in
the
life
and
plight
of
the
the
the
owner
of
the
the
renter
themselves,
like
the
at
the
rentee,
because
you
know
there
are
reasons
for
this.
For
example,
in
libya
there
are
living
properties
that
don't
accept
vouchers
right.
D
So
there
are
obviously
reasons
by
which
this
happens
and
it's
important
for
us
to
distinguish
fact
from
from
stigma,
but
then
on
that
fact
also
understand.
What's
going
on
there
and
make
sure
we
don't
in
an
unintended
consequence
way
put
ourselves
in
a
situation
where
we're
actually
hurting
the
net
outcome
in
the
market
itself.
By
what
we're
trying
to
solve
for.
C
Thank
you,
mr
bukhari.
Any
final
questions
for
mark
and
or
kim
before,
we
pivot
to
the
next
agenda
item,
if
not
mark
kim.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
work
you've
done.
We
look
forward
to
getting
more
feedback
from
you
guys
towards
the
end
of
the
year
and
thank
you
for
your
support
and
your
commitment
to
the
city.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
having
us
miss
whiteman
I'll.
Let
you
introduce
item
number
two.
G
Excellent,
so
your
next
topic
today
is:
we
wanted
to
spend
some
time
talking
about
the
neighborhood
equity
and
stabilization
work
that
came
out
of
the
2040
comprehensive
plan.
Again,
as
as
I
start
this
just
again,
thank
you
for
wrestling
with
the
nest
commission.
I
know
you
guys
are
working
through
that.
We
wanted
to
spend
some
time
with
you
today,
just
really
highlighting
what
the
work
of
the
work
of
nasa.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
For
me,
please
wendy
the
work
of
nest.
G
So
this
the
work
of
nest,
first
of
all,
is
totally
aligned
with
this
committee's
work.
The
work
of
the
great
neighborhoods
committee,
so
it's
all
intertwined
you've
got
your
great
neighborhoods
committee.
We've
got
city
staff,
who
obviously
is
doing
doing
some
great
work,
not
just
in
housing
and
neighborhoods,
but
in
other
departments
throughout
the
city.
So
we
want
to
share
that
with
you
and
then
the
next
commission
that
you
guys
are
in
the
in
the
process
of
of
appointing.
G
As
you
all
know,
your
your
task
here
is
to
to
review
and
recommend
policies
related
to
creating
a
comprehensive
neighborhood
initiatives.
Initiatives
that
improve
our
neighborhoods
right
and
so
the
nest
commission's
charge
will
complement
that.
I
believe
you
guys
approved
the
charge
they
will
be
charged
with
reviewing
and
recommending
specific
anti-displacement
strategies.
G
So
again,
it's
building
on
the
tools
that
we
already
have
today
as
a
city
and
the
the
members
that
you
all
appoint
will
be
charged
with
building
that
tool
box
so
that
we
prevent
anti-displacement
or
involuntary
displacement
in
neighborhoods
and
communities
throughout
throughout
throughout
our
city
and
again,
you'll
have
your
city
staff,
as
you
have
today
doing
the
work
and
implementing
those
programs.
So
the
purpose
of
the
pr
of
this
presentation
is
kind
of
twofold.
G
We
want
to
share
with
you
some
of
those
programs
that
we
already
have
in
place
and,
and
they
are
many
and
then
as
we're,
sharing
those
programs
with
you,
as
you
have
time
to
digest
them.
We
want
to
hear
from
you
about
what
you're
hearing
as
you're
out
as
you're
talking
to
your
constituents
about
ways
that
we
can
consider
improving
those
programs
or
enhancing
those
programs,
and
again
all
of
this
is
going
on
now,
and
we
want
to
just
be
able
to
add
to
this
work
when
the
next
commission
gets
seated.
G
So
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide
for
me,
please,
let
me
just
say,
while
she's
going
to
the
next
slide,
I'm
going
to
be
joined
today
by
two
members,
you'll
hear
from
julia
martin,
who's
in
the
city,
manager's
office,
she's,
a
part
of
the
team,
and
then
I've
got
warren
wooten
on
hand
too.
In
case
you
have
any
questions
about
the
housing
programs
that
I
can't
answer
warren
his
team
does
a
good
job
of
implementing
our
housing
programs
on
a
daily
basis.
G
So,
as
I
said,
we
have
a
cross-departmental
team,
we've
established
to
begin
work
on
on
the
nest.
You
can
see
again
it's
not
just
housing,
neighborhood
services,
it's
planning,
it's
our
I.t
department,
it's
strategy
and
budget,
it's
charlotte
water,
it's
obvious,
ed,
it's
general
services
and
again,
I
said
folks
from
our
city
manager's
office.
Right
now.
G
What
we're
doing,
as
I
said,
is
we're
evaluating
existing
existing,
both
city
and
county
programs
and
we're
compiling
a
list
of
gaps
to
see
what
we
have
now
what's
working.
Well,
what
can
we
tweak
and
what
we
don't
have
and
what
we
might
need
and
again
we
want
to
hear
from
you
what
we've
heard
a
number
of
times
are.
G
Two
two
examples
is
tree
care
assistance
right
often,
if
a
tree
falls
on
a
house
or
if
a
tree
gets
unwilling
that
could
cause
some
cause,
anti-displacement
and
then
obviously
addressing
the
energy
burden,
and
that
complements
the
sustainability
efforts
that
are
being
laid
by
sarah
hazel
through
a
general
services
department.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
For
me,
please
just
want
to
highlight
again.
The
focusing
on
nest
is
not
new.
We
have
a
number
of
programs
throughout
the
city
where
we
we
work
with
neighborhoods.
G
What
is
new
is
that
it
is
in
your
it
came
out
of
your
2040
plan
is
so
what
we're
going
to
do
is
formalize
of
the
work,
if
you
will
across
departments,
but
again
I
don't
want
to
dismiss
you
guys,
have
long
prioritized.
How
can
people?
How
can
we
help
people
stay
in
place,
and
so
we
believe
the
work
that
we
have
lays
a
really
strong
foundation
for
us
to
build
on.
G
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
For
me,
please
so
nest
is
more
than
housing,
but
yet
it's
a
housing
continuum
and
again
what
what
I
want
to
spend
some
time
on
today,
real
high
level,
we're
happy
to
drill
down
where
you
have
questions,
but
again
I
want
to
keep
it
high
level.
To
tell
just
to
remind
you
all-
and
I
know
you
guys
know
this-
I
know
a
lot
about
this,
but
just
to
remind
you
of
the
various
programs
and
how
they
all
fit
together
in
terms
of
of
keeping
people
in
place.
G
So
we
have
our
homeless
support.
You
all
saw
the
the
howard
levine
center,
how
you
all
have
contributed
over
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
make
that
happen.
We
have
our
rent
in
our
relocation
program
that
that
we've
we've
had
for
the
relocation.
That's
where
somebody
is.
If
people
have
to
be
displaced
due
to
a
code
violation,
we
have
a
program
to
help
them
relocate.
G
G
G
G
G
In
the
middle
to
obtain
home
ownership,
and
so
across
the
continuum
of
housing
initiatives
in
fy
21,
we
assisted
about
9500
people
to
the
tune
of
about
31
million
dollars.
So
you
all
should
always
applaud
yourself
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
across
the
housing
continuum
and
how
that
helps.
People
remain
in
place.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide.
For
me,
please,
like
I
said,
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
detail,
but
just
as
a
reminder
on
the
homeless
spectrum,
every.
G
Solutions
grant
all
of
that
money
is
for
expressly
for
the
to
support
homelessness.
So
you
you
make
grants
to
housing
providers
a
roof
above
women's
shelter.
Relatives
is
one
of
our
new
partners
to
to
receive
homeless,
homeless.
Emergency
solutions
grant
support.
You
have
your
your
housing
clt
and
then
you
have
your
away
home
rental
assistance
and
you
all
may
recall
the
away
home
is
the
endowment
that
is
in
partnership
with
the
way
home
at
the
foundation
for
the
carolinas.
G
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide
for
me,
please,
rent
and
relocation.
Again
we
have
our
tenant-based
rental
assistance.
We
do
this
from
our
home
dollars.
You
were
doing
some
rental
assistance
prior
to
covet,
but
you've
done.
You've
heard
many
updates
from
mr
heath
about
how
we're
using
our
cares
dollars
for
rental
assistance,
but
I
do
want
like
to
remind
you
that
you've
been
doing
tenant-based
rental
assistance
before
cares
not
just
to
that
magnitude
because
we
didn't
have,
we
didn't
need
it
to
that
magnitude.
G
Quite
frankly,
prior
to
covet,
we,
you
have
your
housing
opportunities
for
persons
with
aids
and
hiv.
You
have
your
emergency
rent
and
utility
associates
program
and
again
this
is
non-covet.
You
all
fund
every
year
in
emergency
emergency
assistance
programs
for
for
us
through
your
budget,
you
have
your
noaa
rental
subsidy
pilot
that
you
did
a
number
of
years
ago,
and
then
you
have
your
voluntary
emergency
relocation
program
and
again
mr
wooten
is
on
hand
to
answer
any
specific
questions
about
these
programs
that
you
might
have
if
you'll
go
to
the
next
slide.
G
G
What
I
didn't
talk
about
is
we
all
we
repair
if
we're
going
into
a
home-
and
we
know
there's
lead,
set
lead
issues
and
there's
a
child
under
six.
That's
a
federal
grant.
So
we
address
those
issues
as
well,
and
I
would
applaud
mr
wooten
and
his
team,
because
what
they
really
do
is
they
try
to
if
you're
going
into
a
home
to
do
rehab
there's
lead
issues
we'll
address
them.
All
at
once,
because
we
don't
want
to
inconvenience
the
property
owner
by
having
to
come
in
their
homes
multiple
times
on
the
emergency
repair
program.
G
G
People
need
their
home,
their
things
repaired
pretty
quickly,
so
we
can't
go
through
if
you
have
to
go
through
the
federal
procurement
process,
what
you
have
to
do
with
your
cdbg
dollars
and
your
other
dollars,
the
emergency
is
gone,
so
this
is
really
really
valuable
that
we
can
go
in
and
we
can
assist
people
with
hvac
issues
or
other
issues
that
might
cause
them
to
have
to
move
out
of
their
homes.
And
then
we
work
with
partners
like
habitat
for
humanity.
G
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide
for
me,
please
again:
preservation
and
new
construction.
You
have
your
trust
fund,
you're
you're,
also
putting
in
city
owned
land
to
help
with
this
dream
key
formally
cmhp
and
our
other
developers.
They,
you
have
lots
of
partners
who
are
helping
you
with
both
preservation
and
new
construction.
G
What
I
will
remind
you
all
of-
and
that
was
a
really
great
program
that
you
funded
several
years
ago
through
your
budget,
and
I
think
we
have
opportunities
to
do
more
of
this
through
our
anti-displacement
work.
Was
a
single
family
acquisition,
rehab
and
resale
program,
and
that
was
a
program
if,
where
we
were
able
to
work
with
partners
to
to
purchase
homes
that
were
for
sale
and
some
of
our
neighborhoods
that
were
gentrifying,
going
acquire
those
homes,
rehab
those
homes
and
then
resell
those
homes
for
affordable
home
ownership.
G
Through
the
allocation
that
you
all
did
a
couple
of
budget
cycles
ago,
we
were
able
to
acquire
13
homes
and
so
keep
them
in
the
marketplace
as
affordable
housing
and
also
rehab
them.
So
that
was
a
really
really
great
program
as
a
result
of
our
house,
charlotte
down
payment
program
and
our
community
heroes
program,
one
of
the
requirements
is
that
people
have
to
go
undergo
housing
counseling.
That's
really
really
important,
and
it's
proved
it's
proven
to
be
a
best
practice
strategy
over
the
life
of
the
programs
is
because
people
go
through
home
ownership
counseling.
G
So
they
really
really
understand
what
they're
getting
into
in
terms
of
becoming
a
homeowner.
And
what
I
will
tell
you
is
that
this
is
looking
back
a
while,
but
it
still
holds
true
people
who
go
through
this
homeownership
counseling.
They
are
able
to
sustain
their
homes
once
they
become
a
homeownership,
so
really
really
valuable.
G
G
G
If
you
will
go
to
the
next
slide
for
me,
so
just
to
just
to
remind
you
of
kind
of
some
recent
enhancements
that
you
all
have
approved.
We've
talked
about
the
house
charlotte
enhancements.
We've
talked
about
the
tlc
by
clt,
we
tried
the
aging
in
place
where
we
were
helping
people
with
their
taxes
that
kind
of
morphed
into
nest.
We
have
our
partner
in
lisk,
you
all
have
approved
city
on
land
guidelines
and,
and
that
really
has
proven
to
be
beneficial
in
terms
of
using
city
on
land,
where
appropriate,
to
help
with
affordable
housing.
G
You
all
approve
some
updates
to
the
minimum
housing
code.
I
won't
read
these
all
to
you,
but
the
point
is:
I
always
like
to
remind
the
council
that
you
guys
are
doing
great
work
around
currently
helping
people
stay
in
place.
We
we
need
to
do
more.
We
acknowledge
that,
but
this
is
the
foundation
for
where
we
will
begin
our
work
with
the
nest
commission.
G
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide
for
me,
please-
and
I
have
to
say
this-
and
I
really
continue
to
appreciate
mr
bakari
for
always
bringing
it
up
right
nest
or
anti-displacement,
it's
more
than
housing
right
it's.
How
do
we
support
local
and
small
businesses,
and
it's
also
about
job
training
and
workforce
development,
so
it
can
never
do
a
presentation
without
without
including
that,
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide
for
me,
please,
this
is
where
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
julia
martin
from
the
city
manager's
office
to
talk
about.
G
As
we
begin
this
work,
we
not
only
want
to
hear
from
you
all
about
what
you
think
needs
enhancing
which
of
these,
how
these
programs
could
use
enhancing
and
what
new
programs
might
be,
but
we
also
want
to
engage
the
community.
We
believe
a
fundamental,
a
fundamental
thing
in
community
development
and
I've.
I've
heard
this
throughout
my
career
and
I
believe
it
is:
let's
not
do
something
with
the
community
to
a
community.
I
To
learn
more
about
the
households
in
the
neighborhood.
You
know
who's
living
inside
the
neighborhood
and
also
ask
you
know
some
questions
or
about
the
actual
property.
So
you
know
when
asking
about
the
members
of
the
household
it
is:
is
anyone
retired
or
disabled?
You
know,
obviously
ask
about
income,
and
then
you
know
to
pam's
point
one
of
the
questions
we
will
be
asking.
I
Is
there
anyone
unemployed
in
the
house?
And
so
you
know,
we
think
that's
an
important
thing.
While
we
are
going
to
be
engaging
these
people
around
housing,
that's
an
important
part
of
the
equation
and
then,
when
it
comes
to
the
actual
property
you
know,
as
pam
had
mentioned.
In
addition
to
kind
of
the
typical
stuff
that
housing
does
around
rehab
asking
about,
you
know,
are
there
any
water
pipe
concerns,
and
so
we
have
charlotte
water
on
the
team
thinking
about
tree
maintenance.
I
So
we
have
general
services,
who's
really
engaged
in
this
work
as
well,
and
then
understanding
you
know
what
are
their
barriers
if
any
to
staying
in
place,
whether
that
is
rent
increase,
maintenance
costs,
you
know-
or
maybe
they
just
need
some
more
space
for
friends
and
family,
and
so
you
know
we
really
want
to
get
a
kind
of
holistic
sense
about
what
is
happening
with
a
specific
property
to
help
guide
our
next
steps.
And
then
you
know
critical
piece
to
this.
I
Engagement
is
not
just
receiving
information,
but
proactively
sharing
information
where
we
can,
and
so
what
we
will
do.
Is
you
know
if
someone
takes
the
electronic
version
of
the
survey
we
will
proactively.
So
if
you
check
you
know
yes,
there's
an
unemployed
member.
In
the
household
we
will
build
build
a
rule
into
the
survey
that
will
automatically
send
you
information
about
job
training,
city,
job
opportunities
and
things
like
that
and
so
trying
to
make
this
more
of
a
two-way
engagement.
G
Sure,
and
just
in
terms
of
next
steps
you
all
will
be.
You
know
that
that
the
commission
was
approved
as
part
of
your
2040
plan
this
month
and
next
month.
You
guys
will
be
making
appointment,
nominations
and
appointments
to
the
next
commission
and
then,
as
soon
as
those
appointments
are
made,
we
will
work
really
quickly
with
those
with
those
individuals
to
begin
convening
this.
G
The
next
commission,
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide
for
me,
please,
as
julia's
pointed
out
we're
going
to
start
the
community
engagement
as
soon
as
we
get
that
information
back
we're
going
to
evaluate
and
survey
the
survey
and
learn
from
what
people
have
told
us
and
what's
really
important.
Is
that
we'll
be
back
in
front
of
this
group
and
the
council
to
provide
updates
as
we
go
along
the
process,
because
we
want
to
continue
to
hear
from
you
and
also
to
share
with
you
what
we're
learning
and
what
we're
doing
so
with
that.
C
And
certainly
that
will
be
part
of
the
of
that.
We
won't
give
that
work
up
as
well
right
as
a
committee,
but
certainly
the
next
committee
will
be
kind
of
taking
a
look
at
those
and
kicking
the
the
tires
just
to
make
sure
that
they're
not
flat
on
any
of
these
things.
The
thing
that
I'm
almost-
and
I
took
my
notes
this
widening
that
I
really
want
to
focus
on
again.
C
As
we
talked
about
new
construction,
I
think
that's
really
important
home
home
ownership
and
preservation.
What
can
we
do
to
preserve
those
older
homes
that
they
won't
be
overshadowed
by
mansions
and
then,
lastly,
finding
ways
to
help
which
is
harder
right?
Finding
ways
to
help
those
residents
that
live
in
neighborhoods
that
may
be
threatened
for
development,
to
keep
their
homes
right
and
to
to
renovate
those
homes
and
to
teach
them
how
to
profit
from
their
homes
right
as
a
developer
or
a
a
buyer
would
go
into
those
neighborhoods
and
buy
those
homes.
C
E
You
know
for
me,
you
know,
for
instance,
I
would
like
to
know
how
you
know
being
that
displacement
is
not
the
the
the
the
I
guess,
ingredients
to
create
displacement,
whether
it
be
voluntary
and
voluntarily
are
not
just
subject
to
actions
that
we
as
the
city
take
it.
It
affects,
you
know,
is
affected
by
the
county
decisions,
development
of
school
district
of
the
school
district
on
this
that
and
the
other.
E
How
does
the
nest
committee
best
interface
with
the
committee
and
how
does
the
committee
interface
with
the
nest
commission,
for
instance
like?
Should
they
be
present
at
our
meetings?
Sort
of,
like
the
zoning
committee
is
present
at
our
rezoning
meeting
so
that
we
can
be
informed
in
real
time
of
the
things
that
we're
dealing
with
and
and
again.
I
think
with
with
what,
from
my
interpretation
of
why
council
decided
that
this
commission
was
necessary.
E
It
was
out
of
the
the
the
2040
plan
generally
speaking,
but
more,
and
I
think
specifically,
it
was
around
a
focus
on
policy,
development
and
policy
implementation
and
how
that
those
will
affect
future
displacement.
You
know,
particularly
this
was
directly
in
response
to
the
the
the
2040
place,
type
mapping
and
the
future
rezoning
of
the
city.
E
There
were
very
legitimate
concerns
from
those
from
constituents
and
and
and
and
represented
by
council
members
that
we
have
to
do
something
that
that
that
puts
the
citizens,
not
just
in
a
place
where
they
can
work
with
us,
but
advise
us
again
on
the
the
policy
creation
and
implementation,
as
the
2040
plan
gets,
you
know
implemented.
So
I
don't
know
necessarily
I.
G
G
We
want
you
to
share
with
us
kind
of
what
you're
hearing,
what
your
thoughts
are
about,
how
we
can
do
things
different
and
continue
to
build
our
tool
chest
and
any
policies,
new
policies
or
policy
tweaks
that
come
out
of
this
obviously
would
come
to
you
all
for
your
input
and
review
and
then
final
approval.
So.
E
E
What,
with
the
the
the
creation
of
this
commission,
was
for
so
like
how
do
we
as-
and
this
was
the
difficulty
I
think
about
for
us
choosing
some
folks
right?
How
do
we,
how?
How
do
we
choose
the
the
people
that
are
best
equipped,
we
think
are
best
equipped
to
to
carry
out
that
task
when
we
haven't
really
necessarily
defined
the
tasks
and
how
and
how
the
work
is
going
to
be
going
about-
and
this
is
something
the
11
of
us.
G
No
and
last
thing
I'll
say-
and
I
want
to
get
out
of
my
lane
here-
one
is
is
planning
and
mr
dioba
are
are
part
of
this
process
and
then
on
your
commission.
If
I
remember
correctly,
I
think
two
of
the
categories
speak,
mr
winston,
specifically
specifically
to
what
you're
talking
about,
at
least
in
my
mind.
I
think
you
had
you,
you
were
looking
for
an
individual
who's,
an
expert
in
land
use
conditions,
and
then
I
think
on
your
commission.
G
C
C
I
will
give
you
a
call,
mr
winston,
to
kind
of
see
how
that's
outlined,
and
I
don't
think
we
should
try
to
solve
that
equation
here
today-
that
I
think
the
staff
can
bring
back
some
recommendations
based
on
which
you
outline
and
then
we
can
have
a
broader
conversation
at
the
next
mini,
mr
winston,
in
reference
to
what
those
options
are
and
any
thoughts
that
that
you
have
in
mind.
So
I'm
willing
to
continue
the
conversation
for
sure
all
right.
No
other
questions.
