Members
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone
the
objectives
of
the
task
force,
which
is
to
anticipate
and
plan
for
Charlotte's
post
recovery
challenges,
given
the
uncertain
economic
uncertainties
in
our
city
to
listen
to
the
community.
A
Regarding
the
challenges
people
are
facing
to
navigate
the
changing
work
and
living
environment,
to
develop
recommendations
for
the
City
of
Charlotte,
specifically
city
government,
how
we
can
pivot
to
support
changes
needed
as
a
result
of
kovat
19
and
to
provide
residents
with
a
long-term
vision
for
healthy
and
a
stable
economic
and
civic
environment
with
that,
I
would
like
to
first
thank
come
to
member
Ellis,
then
for
chairing
the
meeting
for
me
on
last
Thursday.
Thank
you
very
much
and
begin
by
having
a
roll
call
of
introducing
all
of
the
task
force.
A
G
A
You
all
for
being
here
today.
This
is
our
tenth
meeting
since
April
23rd,
so
we've
been
at
it
for
a
while.
We
are
doing
the
work
of
the
people
and
with
that,
let's
get
right
into
our
agenda
with
our
workforce
plan
to
financial
assistance,
final
recommendations,
I
turn
it
over
to
Cathy
to
Rhonda
and
Connie.
B
Thank
You,
mr.
graham
and
again
our
condolences
to
your
family
I
know
this
is
a
hard
time
of
year
and
just
break
for
continued
healing
with
that.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
team
members
that
have
been
working
with
me,
Tyrande
and
Connie
on
the
efforts
that
they've
been
putting
in
for
this,
and
we've
dropped
with
a
couple
of
additional
folks
to
help
us
as
well.
So
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
also
thank
Jim
Graham,
as
well
as
Katherine
with
the
United
Way
for
their
assistance
as
well.
B
So
we
presented
last
week
and
there
were
a
couple
of
really
great
points
that
were
brought
up,
so
the
plan
has
been
modified
to
reflect
the
feedback
from
the
team
as
well
as
look
at
what
is
feasible
for
an
implementation
perspective.
So
if
you
could
go
to
lie
three,
please
we've
already
reviewed
the
rest,
so
let's
just
jump
into
the
changes
in
the
recommendation.
B
Excellent,
thank
you.
So
the
recommendation
the
primary
one,
is
to
expand
the
charlotte-mecklenburg
Kotov
19
collaborative
representing
existing
work
groups
and
currently
it's
the
city
of
charlotte
in
the
housing
recovery
task
force,
nephron
Burke,
County,
the
Mecklenburg
County
continuum
of
care,
the
Housing
Partnership
Salvation
Army
foundation
for
the
Carolinas
and
United
Way
to
provide
recommendation
on
the
best
use
of
the
cares.
Act
funding.
B
This
group
have
been
running
several
different
work
streams
and
we're
hoping
that
we
can,
with
the
collaborative,
bring
together
the
collective
thoughts
of
the
various
groups
that
are
working
on
the
same
issue
and
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
duplication
of
effort
and
that
it's
a
fair
and
equitable
treatment
of
the
social
support
of
the
folks
that
need
to
help
organizations
providing
services
using
covin.
19
related
funding
should
for
perform
holistic
customer
antique
to
ensure
that
they're
connected
to
the
community
resources
best
best
equipped
to
help
with
the
unique
household
needs.
B
We
feel
that
solving
for
an
issue
without
solving
for
all
of
the
issues
or
at
least
understanding
what
each
family
is
going
through
individually
and
providing
them
the
broader
assistance
that
they're
going
to
need.
They're
not
going
to
be
able
to
move
forward
and
the
struggle
that
they're
currently
having
build
on
the
existing
infrastructure
of
the
CMHC's
emergency
rental
and
mortgage
assistance
program
and
support
the
expansion
of
temporary
staffing
where
needed.
This
was
the
presentation
that
was
delivered
by
Aaron
last
week.
The
infrastructure
is
in
place,
it's
ready
to
go.
B
B
We
feel
strongly
that
landlords
who
accept
tears
act
funding
must
agree
to
not
discriminate
against
the
applicants
based
upon
their
source
of
income.
This
is
not
a
little
bit
of
a
change.
We
were
saying
that
they
they
should
be
willing
to
accept
the
Housing
Choice
vouchers,
but
were
just
asking
simply
the
the
applicant.
B
The
tenants
not
be
discriminating
based
upon
their
source
of
income.
We
don't
do
it
in
lending
and
we
shouldn't
do
it
in
rental
to
avoid
duplication
of
subsidy
allocation
and
assist
a
maximum
amount
of
clients
impacted
by
covered
19
service
providers.
They
should
be
required
to
use
data
sharing
platforms
such
as
HMIS,
which
is
already
in
place,
and
then.
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
recommendation
for
financial
assistance.
I
know
this
is
the
second
time
that
the
task
force
is
receiving
it.
You
received
it
last
week
as
well
with
some
amendments
today
and
so
I
will
open
up
the
floor
for
any
questions
that
we
have
from
task
force
members
any
questions.
A
D
H
A
A
I
am
thank
you
yes
and
mr.
Roston,
yes,
okay.
Thank
you
very
much
very
good
presentation,
I
think
we're
making
really
good
progress
on
these
recommendations.
I
will
be
following
up
with
staff
regarding
not
only
the
recommendations
from
today,
but
also
the
previous
one,
making
sure
that
we
make
sure
it
gets
through
the
system,
but
I
think
we're
in
good
shape
before
I
had
some
preliminary
Carmen
preliminary
conversations
and
I
know,
we
are
doing
just
that
to
make
sure
that
these
recommendations
get
on
the
desk
of
the
City
Council
as
soon
as
possible.
D
Thank
You
councilmember
Graham,
and
thank
you
to
my
colleagues
on
the
task
force,
some
of
whom
I've
leaned
on
as
I've
worked
through
focus
area.
Number
three
we've
talked
I
think
a
lot
about
evictions
because
we
felt
like
it
was
a
pressing
matter,
as
was
rent
relief
during
coab
in
nineteen,
and
so
some
of
what
you
will
hear
me
say
will
be
similar
or
maybe
somewhat
reiterating
what
we've
already
heard
earlier,
but
I
think
it's
just
important
to
refocus
us
on
those
those
items.
D
So
the
eviction
focused
area
had
three
tasks.
The
first
was
to
work
with
the
courts
to
identify
if
eviction
filings
were
still
occurring.
The
second
was
to
determine
what
the
scale
of
eviction
hearings
will
be
when
the
courts
reopened
and
they
have
reopened,
and
then
the
last
was
to
work
with
the
courts
to
improve
the
evictions
process.
Next
slide,
please
so
before
I
get
into
kind
of
what
has
been
accomplished
under
those
tasks.
I
just
want
to
set
some
expectations
and
give
a
little
bit
of
context.
D
Around
addictions
in
general
evictions
are
classified
by
each
state,
so
each
state
creates
its
own
label.
Tenant
laws
in
the
pranic
has
done
that
as
well,
nor
kind
of
general
statutes
to
create
contacts
for
summary
judgments
or
evictions
in
our
state,
and
while
that
statue
talks
about
the
ways
in
which
a
landlord
could
indict
a
tenant,
it
also
talks
about
the
rights.
The
tenants
have
the
rights
and
responsibilities
that
landlords
have
and
talks
about.
The
methods
for
fiction,
legal
and
law,
court
convictions
and
I
have
to
say
that
self-help
evictions
are
illegal.
D
We
know
that
self-help
evictions
do
happen
and
when
those
happen
they
are
punishable
by
law
and
and
landlords
that
do
that
should
be
punished
by
law
and
that
evictions,
our
last
resort
option
that
the
costs
incurred,
vacancy
and
downtime
that
it
takes
to
get
a
unit
turned
and
ready
for
rent
again
is
the
last
thing
that
a
landowner
wants
to
do
because
landlords
incur
those
costs
and
do
not
get
to
recruit
those
costs.
So
I'll
put
those
two
things
out
there
just
to
create
some
context
around
convictions.
D
So
there
were
four
key
findings
that
came
out
of
that
report.
The
first
was
that
there
was
a
need
for
increased
education
on
legal
rights
and
responsibilities
for
four
tenants,
I
think
primarily
also
for
landlords.
There
was
I
think
it
was
found
that
tenants
just
weren't,
aware
of
all
of
the
rights
that
they
had
as
renters
and
all
the
things
that
they
could
do,
especially
in
cases
where
they
were
be.
D
You
think
that
illegally
or
if
the
landlord
wasn't
holding
up
his
or
her
responsibility
to
the
tenant
and
and
many
of
those
came
out
of
discussions
with
Charles
Center
for
legal
and
advocacy
and
legal
aid
of
North
Carolina.
The
second
key
finding
was
that
something
needed
to
be
done
to
reduce
it.
The
negative
impact
of
evictions
on
tenants-
and
we
talked
about
that
as
a
task
force
over
the
last
ten
weeks.
D
D
We've
talked
about
a
lot
here
this
last
year
or
two
and
and
that's
probably
part
of
the
images
for
the
15
million
dollar
bond
referendum
that
we
had
in
2018,
but
we've
definitely
talked
about
increasing
opportunities
for
working
families
to
earn
more
income
so
that
they
would
be
less
likely
to
be
housing.
Cost
earner
next
slide.
Please!
D
So
just
talking
about
some
of
the
trends
that
were
found
around
fictions
because
evictions,
again
they
go
up,
they
go
down
from
2005
to
2015.
It
was
found
that
unbalanced
evictions
went
down
in
our
community,
with
the
exception
of
the
two
years
five,
where
we
had
the
housing
recession
in
2008
to
2010,
and
that
trend
has
actually
continued
we're
seeing
either
annual
evictions.
D
You
also
heard
from
Judge
best
and
her
team,
as
well
as
the
City
of
Charlotte
dispute
resolution
program,
that
between
the
two
of
them,
they
were
working
really
hard
to
ensure
that
we
had
mediators
available
to
the
community
who
we're
gonna,
want
to
provide
free
services
and
outreach
opportunities
for
families
who
were
experiencing
eviction
as
well
as
landlords
who
might
be
amenable
to
having
their
court
cases
mediated.
I
think
was
what's
worth
acknowledging
is
that
research
has
found
that
about
35%
of
all
the
eviction.
D
Cases
are
settled
voluntarily
and
additionally
in
2016,
and
it
holds
true
today
that
about
17%
of
summary,
ejectment
cases
actually
move
forward
to
an
actual
fiction
and
someone
actually
being
moved.
So
there
there's
a
lot
of
room
between
35%
that
are
voluntarily
dismissed
and
the
17%
that
actually
are
victim
and
a
never
writ
of
possession.
F
D
The
City
of
Charlotte
has
had
a
dispute
resolution
program
under
its
Community
Relations
Committee
since
1983
those
services
are
provided
free
to
tan
to
tenants
and
landlords
on
a
referral
basis,
but
they
don't
require
an
actual
formal
referral.
Anyone
can
call
the
resolution
program
and
ask
to
for
assistance
with
elimination.
That's
a
tenant,
landlord
doesn't
matter
your
info,
and
so
the
program
has
five
staff
members
about
50,
volunteers
and,
and
they
conduct
outreach
to
tenants.
D
Pre
and
post
fiction,
filing
and
and
again,
agreements
that
are
entered
into
remediation
are
binding,
and
we
will
hear
hopefully
from
that
team,
to
give
us
an
update
on
how
many
mediation
meetings
they've
conducted
since
we've
gone
back
to
the
ports
a
little
over
week
ago.
Next
slide
please
and
then
the
last
piece
in
terms
of
protecting
tenants
and
protecting
tenants
rights,
and
this
has
come
up
with
our
task
force-
is
just
around
how
we
ensure
that
credit
reports
are
not
damaged
beyond
repair.
How
do
we
ensure
that
money,
judgments
that
are
satisfied?
D
Had
an
eviction
hearing
found
against
them
the
satisfying
judgment
and
had
that
judgment
life
off
of
their
record.
Where
it
wouldn't
heed
them
from
being
able
to
successfully
secure
a
rental
in
the
future,
and
so
you'll
see
here
in
these
next
few
slides
kind
of
the
legalese
but
I'll
just
unpack
it
a
little
bit.
Let's
move
forward
a
couple
of
slides,
so
we
get
to
highlight
okay,
we'll
stop
here.
So
so,
essentially
the
motion
a
motion
could
be
filed.
D
Five
friends
are
at
an
eviction
and
that
motion
would
essentially
have
that
judgment
clear
and
it
would
be
recorded
with
the
course.
The
judgment
is
reported
with
the
course
they
owe
X
amount
of
dollars
to
the
former
landlord,
and
once
they
make
payments
on
that
judgment
and
pay
it
off
fully.
The
judgment
would
then
be
removed
from
their
record
permanently
next
slide.
Please.
D
Actually,
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
with
a
highlight
thing,
and
so
what's
important
about
this
whole
legislation
is
that
it
has
teeth.
It
has
an
academy
count
ability,
measure
or
the
ranlo
work
that
forces
and
actually
follow
through
on
what
they're
supposed
to
do,
so
that
the
judgment
doesn't
follow
the
renter
and
if
they
do
not
record
the
satisfaction
with
the
court
and
they
could
have,
they
could
be
required
a
money
to
monetary
judgment
to
the
tenant
and
it
could
be
in
the
amount
of
unpaid
rent.
D
D
This
is
not
in
place
right
now,
which
is
why
you
see
a
lot
of
these
judgments
following
renters
along
and
make
it
impossible
for
them
to
rent
in
the
future
or
to
buy
a
home
or
car
or
something
else
that
requires
a
credit
check
next
slide,
please,
and
so
with
that,
we
will
essentially
be
crafting
those
last
two
items
into
recommendations
for
this
focus
area.
Those
will
be
presented
next
week
for
the
task
force
consideration
and
for
our
and
with
that,
I
will
end
up
for
questions.
Thank
you.
D
A
You
Kim
for
that
presentation,
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
pre-work
that
you
did
I
know
you
had
a
number
of
conversations
outside
of
the
scope
of
the
task
force
in
terms
of
getting
ready
for
this
presentation.
In
your
assignments,
I
want
to
task
force
members
to
know
that
a
lot
of
work
went
into
this
outside
of
our
meetings
and
I'm,
going
to
thank
him
for
pulling
a
lot
of
people
together
and
getting
a
lot
of
input
and
those
at
her
assignments.
I
really
appreciate
that.
H
Afternoon,
thank
you.
I
know
how
much
work
you
put
into
that
and
I
was
forward
counsel.
We
in
the
housing
arena
know
how
impactful
and
and
and
the
huge
barrier
that
evictions
are
on
individuals,
records
and
I
was
trying
to
backtrack.
You
to
remember
who
presented
to
the
task
force
the
data
of
housing
barriers,
because
I
think
that
information
will
be
important
to
present,
to
counsel
and
to
present
to
legislators
if
we're
able
to
do
that
to
demonstrate
how
impactful
that
an
eviction
is
on
the
record.
H
A
H
A
E
I
Have
a
conversation
about
this
work
around
ovations
when
it
was
started
so
happy
to
see
how
how
this
work
has
been
turning
out,
I
just
have
a
question
about
the
recommendation
around
the
proposed
legislation
with
that
recommendation
come
to
Council
as
a
suggestion
of
what
we
should
include
on
our
legislative.
Our
state
legislative
agenda
is
that
the
intent
yes.
D
D
Thank
you
for
that
question.
That's
actually
an
excellent
question,
so
the
number
on
a
monthly
basis
is
around
350
evictions.
That's
that's
the
real
number
so
that
17%
and
I
wish.
We
had
good
data
right
now.
It
only
takes
a
couple
of
years
to
compile
that
evictions
data
just
because
there
are
so
many
layers
to
it
and
a
lot
of
that
will
come
from
the
poor
system.
G
D
C
J
Put
you
on
the
spot,
cuz
I
actually
don't
know.
If
you
even
know
the
answer
to
this,
but
but
I'm
asking
the
group.
Maybe
it
was
do
you
ever
since,
or
can
you
describe
kind
of
the
current
state?
You
said
the
courts
have
reopened
so
during
the
March
to
now
were
I.
Think
maybe
correctly,
evictions
were
still
being
I,
guess,
filed
or
presented,
and
so
what's
happening
now
is
it?
J
D
Actually,
I
know
a
lot
about
it,
so
many
meetings
about
yeah
what
what
we
have
is
kind
of
a
parallel
when
the
courts.
When
the
committee
from
the
courts
last
met,
which
was
at
the
end
of
May,
it
was
calculated
that
between
the
judicial
hearings
and
mediators,
voluntary
mediators
that
the
courts
could
handle
about
300
cases
a
week
in
a
five
day
span-
and
there
was
I-
mean
a
lot
of
breakdown
and
living
at
how
many
each
judge
could
handle
designated
courtrooms.
D
How
many
in
person
and
over
the
phone
mediations
could
be
handled,
and
so
300
was
about
the
number
that
we
got
at.
We
had
1,800
that
had
been
filed.
I
estimate,
that
of
those
1800
about
500,
or
so
maybe
a
little
over
500
would
be
dismissed
voluntarily
and
then
getting
that
that
35%
of
West
file
doesn't
actually
be
noted
for
it,
and
so
that
leaves
us
about
1200.
That
would
have
to
earn
it
or
and/or
document
and
those
could
have
also
been
resolved.
D
And
so,
if
you
use
the
300
number
per
five
day
period
and
the
1200
that
we
had,
we
looked
at
clearing
up
that
for
about
four
weeks.
If
all
things
work
well
together,
I
do
know
that
that
there's
a
meeting
today
at
2
p.m.
of
course
committee.
So
I'm
gonna
sit
in
on
that
or
an
update
on
kind
of
what
the
real
number
is
a
chance
of
what
they
still
happy
and.
J
J
I
guess
in
terms
of
how
to
in
this,
in
that
process
of
those
1200,
the
mediators
and
everything
going
on,
but
is
part
of
your
recommendations
gonna
be
about
how
the
city
can
help
in
one
way
another
with
with
that
whole
backlog
and
what's
gonna
happen,
and
how
many
of
those
folks
actually
come
go
all
the
way
through
and
end
up
being
evicted
and
now
around.
You
know,
like
that
kind
of
thing,
right.
D
K
D
D
Right
I
mean
some
of
those
families
that
are
evicted
may
end
up
moving
from
Charlotte
I
think
that
is
a
real
likelihood
that
there
will
be
families
who
will
lose
from
Charlotte,
because
the
cost
of
living
was
already
too
high
for
them
right
and
so
they're
evicting
I
can't
find
additional
housing
here
then
they
might
not
be
able
to
stay
here.
We
know
that
our
shelters
and
alternative
housing
is
already
overburdened.
D
J
D
So
that's
a
great
question
comment
as
well,
because
the
city,
the
city's
dispute
resolution
program,
actually
some
information
to
the
courts,
I
think
1800
fires
went
over
to
the
courthouse
at
the
beginning,
beginning
of
the
week,
and
it
had
information
about
the
mediation
program.
But
it
also
had
information
about
the
rental
assistance
program.
Excuse
me,
and
so
there
there
may
be
that
opportunity
or
the
mediators
to
refer
folks
who
are
going
through
eviction
to
the
to
that
program
so
that
they
can
get
that
assistance
and
anniver
the
eviction
and
that's
likely
as
well.
I
Thank
You
mr.
Graham
Thank
You
mr.
Cochran,
for
asking
that
question
because
I
think
you
hope
you
and
miss
Graham
posed
a
question.
What
should
the
city's
role
should
the
city
play
a
role
if
those
with
those
17
percent
of
the
evictions
that
go
through
so
what
I
see
that
is
presented
is
that
we
have
a
hole,
a
doughnut
hole
right
here
right
now
we
have
city
options
for
dealing
with
the
eviction
process
before
there's
a
judgment
through
through
this
mediation
process,
which
is
a
good
thing.
I
We
have
the
long
term,
affordable
housing
solutions
for
all
people,
including
those
that
have
efficient
barriers
that
we're
working
on,
but
we
don't
have
that
answer
for
what
is
our
role
to
play
immediately?
Following
that
judgment
and
mr.
Cochran
miss
Graham
might
not
be
able
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
city
or
or
suggest
where
we
should
go,
but
I
would
I
would
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
and
our
staff
members?
How
do
we
start
to
answer
that
question?
I
Because
if
the
point
of
this
task
force,
this
provides
solutions
around
COBIT
relief,
that
is
a
big
portion
of
the
cobra
relief
that
our
community
needs.
The
evictions
that
do
go
through
so
I
think
we
should
pivot
take.
Take
these
very
good
things
that
that
miss
Graham
has
laid
out
on
the
table
to
deal
with
the
pre
eviction.
The
long
term
aspects
of
it
is
through
legislation,
and
things
like
that.
Well,
we
do
need
to
attack
the
issue
of
what
happens
the
minute.
After
that
judgment
comes
down.
I
G
Winston
in
committee,
that
that
is
a
point
very
well
taken,
I
think
a
starting
point
for
us
and
we
don't
have
all
the
answers
and
certainly
something
on
to
your
point.
Mr.
Whiston,
we
need
to
begin
to
fill
that
that
that
hole.
One
of
the
things
that
that
I
would
suggest
that
we
could
do
continue
to
do
is
to
the
extent
that
we
know
something
is
headed
toward
eviction
to
maybe
help
not
get
have
a
tenant
get
an
eviction
on
their
record.
For
all.
G
The
reason
we've
talked
about
is
somehow
have
a
link
with
partners
like
community
link
to
help
that
person
start
to
identify
some
alternative
housing
or
other
housing.
That's
kind
of
one
of
theirs.
Their
secret
sauce
is
to
help
find
housing.
They
have
connections
with
partners
so
again
points
well-taken,
don't
have
all
the
answers
today,
but
what
I
want
to
raise
up?
If
we
know
something
is
headed
toward
an
eviction,
maybe
tweak
our
processes
so
that
we
can
have
be
more
proactive
to
help
people
on
the
front
end.
C
H
Especially
for
the
Colvin
related
individuals,
because
there
is
assistance
for
them,
so
the
issue
is:
is
communicating
or
getting
to
them
to
give
them
information
about
the
assistance.
So
one
of
the
ways
that
we
could
do
that
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
the
city
or
one
of
these
partners,
it's
actually
the
partners
to
attend
the
fourth
hearing.
If
you've
ever
gone
to
certain
types
of
hearings,
there
are
advocates
in
the
courtroom
to
work
with
the
litigants
and
provide
information.
A
Point
but
I
think
that's
where
the
mediation
comes
in
I'm
prior
to
because
the
goal
is
not
even
to
get
them
to
come
to
mediation
and
so
I
think
our
goal
is
to
try
to
catch
them
before
they
even
get
to
the
courtroom.
But
and
what
we're
doing
I
think
himmat
have
said
this
before
we're
supplying
the
judges
with
all
the
resources
that
are
out
there,
that
we
have
provided
so
that
when
they
sit
down
with
that
Lynne
again
and
that
plaintiff
that
the
judge
him
Emma
herself
has
those
resources
available.
H
Even
sharing
the
the
information
about
the
dispute
settlement
process
with
one
of
these
local
hotels
and
in
my
district
he's
not
getting
they're,
not
getting
their
response.
So
there's
the
proactive
approach
is
absolutely
the
most
effective.
But
if
we're
not,
if
we're
not
reaching
everyone,
this
would
still
be
a
backup
procedure.
C
Yeah
I
think
that
we're
kind
of
talking
around
this
issue
here
and
the
real
question
is:
what
can
we
do
right
now
to
increase
the
availability
of
what
we
used
to
call
transitional
housing
come
up
before?
We
need
to
really
look
at
that
question.
I.
Think
right
now
we
talk
about
it
as
rapid
rehousing,
but
but
that's
the
real
question
is:
what
are
we
able
to
do
to
provide
additional
transitional
housing
units
to
meet
some
of
this
need
and
also
to
keep
those
units
in
inventory,
because
they
will
continue
to
be
needed?
C
We
know
that
that
is
a
growing
population,
and
so
we
will
need
more
units
and
so
I
think
we've
got
to
do
a
little
workaround
programmatically
approaching.
How
do
we
secure
units
that
can
be
utilized
for
the
transition
process
and
also
making
sure
that
when
people
are
in
a
position
to
move
out
of
those
units.
C
Under
contracts
that
require
them
to
stay
there
beyond
the
point
of
their
real
need,
which
is
for
housing,
so
I
think
we've
got
a
look
at
that
whole
process
again
and
identify
additional
units
and
figure
out.
How
do
we
get
them
into
the
program
and
then
make
sure
that
the
the
tenancy
of
those
individuals
in
those
households
is
really
based
on
a
case
management
approach
which
I
know
we
do
today?
C
I
know
we
have
a
case
management
approach
for
that,
so
we've
got
to
look
at
expanding
both
of
those
the
number
of
units
and
also
the
availability
of
that
case
management
service.
So
when
we,
when
people
are
able
to
move
up
and
move
out,
we
help
them
to
do
that.
So
I
just
want
to
make
the
point
as
well.
A
Remind
the
task
force
that
we
do
have
allocated
two
million
dollars
for
supportive
housing,
so
those
dollars
are
currently
on
the
street,
but
I
think
your
point
is
well-taken
the
mr.
lensing
in
terms
of
going
back
to
our
original
question.
When
we
first
started
this
task
forces
is:
how
do
we
identify
housing
for
folks
and
I?
Think
this
body
wants
to
kind
of
kind
of
comment
as
well.
G
Mr
Graham
said,
and
then
just
add
to
that
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
Deronda,
the
Deronda
at
the
Salvation
Army
women's
shelter
and
both
the
men's
shelter.
That
was
one
of
the
things
that
we
had
lots
of
conversation
about.
If
you
would
call
early
on
with
the
first
round
of
Kovac
funding,
we
got,
we
said
we
didn't
just
want
to
pay
pay
rent
for
people
who
were
in
transition,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
they
were
being
connected
to
resources
so
that
when
they
are
ready
to
transition,
they
can
transition
properly.
A
L
Thank
you
all
once
again
for
having
me
I'm
here
to
provide
an
update.
Some
of
the
information
miss
Graham
is
already
provided,
but
I
wanted
to
kind
of
give
you
an
update
of
where
we
are
and
what
we
were
seeing
so
far.
Our
marketing
efforts
we
have
put
our
DSP
Flyers,
have
gone
out
to
the
social
serve
we've
sent
them
out
to
heal.
L
L
Miss
Graham
has
already
spoke
to
this,
but
the
clerk's
Clerk
of
Courts
office
last
Friday
sent
out
540
notifications
that
contained
our
flyer
and
those
went
to
individuals
that
have
summary
ejectment
cases
they're
going
to
be
sending
out.
Another
270
notices
out
tomorrow
is
what
I'm
being
told
we
have
a
meeting
this
afternoon
as
Miss
Graham
mentioned
with
the
civil
courts
committee,
so
we
will
be
getting
any
updated
case,
referral
information
from
them
and
any
other
suggestions
they
have
for
our
program.
We
have
we're
still
trying
to
get
the
word
out
about
our
services.
L
The
presentations
we've
made
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
allowing
us
to
continue
to
speak
to
the
housing
task
force.
We've
also
been
speaking
to
the
civil
courts
committee,
the
on
loss,
a
group
and
Thank
You
Councilwoman
Johnson,
for
allowing
us
to
speak
to
the
Civic
faith
group
meeting
that
you
held
I
do
appreciate
that
a
legal
aid
has
been
our
partner.
L
We've
provided
a
dish
they've
been
providing
additional
trainings
on
the
care
site
to
our
crc
staff,
as
well
as
our
mediators,
and
we
really
believe
that
many
of
these
cases
can
be
resolved
through
the
process.
If
we
bring
the
parties
together
to
discuss
their
concerns
and
have
them
develop
the
options
it's
going
to
work
for
them
to
resolve
their
situation,
I
mean
our
goal
is
to
keep
tenants
and
their
and
also
to
have
landlords
receive
the
payment
options
that
will
satisfy
their
needs.
L
So
we
have
heard
from
many
landlords
that
are
now
reviewing
their
records
and
they're
going
to
be
providing
us
a
list
of
tenants
that
they
wish
to
do
mediation.
For
so
we
have
some
promises
in
that
regard,
as
Councilwoman
Johnson
mentioned,
and
we
have
heard
from
a
hotel
that
currently
they
don't
put
their
guests
are
not
interested
in
mediation,
but
I
have
extended
the
invitation
that,
if
anything
changes
our
office
is
always
here
to
try
to
assist,
they
would
just
need
to
call
us
and
we
try
to
schedule
a
mediation
accordingly.
L
Currently,
we're
fielding
calls
about
repair
issues,
mold
issues,
legal
rights,
and
we
have
been
referring
those
cases
as
needed
to
environmental
health,
legal
aid,
and
then
we
are
starting
to
see
some
increase
in
information
about
rental
assistance
and
we
have
been
referring
cases
to
prices
assistance,
as
well
as
trying
to
get
cases
scheduled
and
mediation.
Just
this
morning
when
you
started
receiving
actual
case
numbers,
so
we
started
getting
calls
from
individuals
that
had
actually
received
their
notification
of
court
that
had
our
flier
attached.
L
K
L
Already
been
mentioned,
we
have
always
been
trying
to
get
as
many
cases
resolved
prior
to
any
court
involvement.
So
if
anytime,
a
landlord
or
a
tenant
has
a
concern
that
we're
trying
to
get
them
to
be
willing
to
at
least
have
a
conversation,
try
the
mediation
process
and
see
if
we
can
work
it
out,
so
they
don't
have
to
go
into
the
court
system,
so
we're
still
in
the
process
of
trying
to
get
as
much
of
our
information
out
there.
L
We
appreciate
all
of
our
partners
and
all
of
our
assistance
of
trying
to
get
the
information
to
as
many
people
as
possible
and
we're
still
working
hard.
We
still
got
our
mediators
ready
and
waiting
to
do
as
many
mediations
as
we
can
and
like
I
said.
We
do
have
right
now.
Most
of
the
landlords
that
are
calling
us
will
be
providing
us
the
information
they're
just
going
through
their
their
logs.
They
just
wanted
to
find
out
it
exactly
what
we
would
be
able
to
offer
before
they
started
singing
cases
our
way.
A
Looking
for
our
community,
if
the
wards
getting
out
there,
I've
heard
it
here
and
there,
from
friends
of
mine
within
the
system,
the
fort
system
that
that
they
have
the
information
about
the
services
that
you
are
rendering
and
they
are
knowledgeable
about
the
resources
that
we
have
on
the
ground
to
assist
in
that
air
for
it
and
so
I'll
go
ask
miss
Johnson,
said
earlier
is
just
making
sure
that
the
right
people
get
the
right
information
at
the
right
time,
and
obviously
we
can't
force
people
to
go
into
mediation.
We
can
strongly
encourage
that.
A
H
Thank
you
I
wanted
to
know
if
there
are
any
public
service
announcements
about
the
dispute
settlement
process,
such
as
through
the
radio
or
television
or
through
our
government
panel
I
still
advocate
that
we
use
that
billboard
on
the
Drury
parking
lot
that
I
sent
sent
over
the
picture
to
you.
Mr.
Graham
fest
I
really
think
this
educating
the
public
funny
help
there
what
a
benefit
this
is,
in
the
long
term,
benefit
of
not
having
the
eviction
on
their
record.
So
are
we
doing
any
mass
messaging?
L
I'm
currently
against
women
Johnson,
we
have
started
with
the
Flyers
and,
of
course,
that
was
working
with
the
courts
and
and
making
sure
that
they
could
get
the
mailings
out.
The
partners
have
sent
our
information
out
and
then
there's
a
couple
of
platforms
on
social
media
thanks
to
housing,
a
neighborhood
services
that
put
your
information
out
on
some
of
their
their
feeds.
We
have
not
actually
put
anything
out
via
radio
or
on
TV
yet,
but
that
is
a
good
suggestion.
That's
something
we
can
definitely
look
into.
L
We
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
accomplishing
what
the
court
had
asked
us
to
do.
First
thing
is
to
make
sure
that
we
had
a
flier
that
they
could
put
in
their
mailings.
We
would
be
willing
to
to
look
into
those
options
to
again
get
the
information
out
to
as
many
people
as
possible.
So
thank
you
for
that
suggestion
and
if
you
want
to
put
our
information
on
any
billboard,
we
would
allow
that
as
well.
H
Yes,
they
look
at
them,
but
that's
just
not
a
great
time
to
to
persuade
people.
If
we
can
get
that
information
out
proactively,
they
may
not
be
looking
at
all
of
the
inserts.
That's
just
a
really
bad
time
for
people,
so
we
can
get
that
information
to
them
before
they
actually
need
to
use.
It.
I
think
may
help
additionally
point.
L
A
Okay
No
thank
you,
Miss
Williams,
for
that
presentation
and
please
stay
close
to
us
to
keep
us
updated
and
inform
as
we
move
through
the
reports
as
they
are
now
open.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Any
lead
updates
feel
free
to
give
a
two-minute
commercial
or
two
or
feel
free
not
to,
and
that's
fine
as
well.
E
Sorry,
good
afternoon,
councilman
Graham,
thank
you
for
your
leadership,
all
the
other
council
members
as
well,
so
we
are
I'm
working
with
a
group
and
we've
really
been
focused
on
this
hotel
situation.
As
we
talk
about
addiction
and
prevention,
you
know
we
understand
that
a
lot
of
families
were
living
in
hotels
and
it
was
their
house
families
that
have
lived
in
hotels
for
three
to
five
years.
E
So
interesting
and
aha
moment
that
I
had
is
I
was
on
a
call
yesterday
that
the
state
just
trying
to
learn
what
other
communities
in
North
Carolina
are
doing
around
families
and
dividuals
being
addicted
from
hotels,
and
it
seems
like
it
is
a
problem-
that's
unique
to
Charlotte.
So
that
says
something
about
our
housing
market.
E
What
we
know
about
those
individuals
and
those
households
are
living
in
hotels
and
saying
have
a
lot
of
barriers,
the
house
and
whether
it's
criminal
records,
whatever
it
was
eviction,
so
I'm
really
appreciated
the
discussion
and
the
opportunity
to
get
some
of
those
households
out
of
the
hotels.
So
we
do
have
a
group
that
trying
to
get
the
data.
E
We
have
a
place
management
teams
made
up
of
different
providers,
and
but
that
is
definitely
on
our
radar
as
well
as
reports
are
opening
up
and
I
just
want
to
just
continue
to
keep
that
in
front
of
you
and
also,
at
the
same
time,
saying
thank
you
for
the
support,
but
we'll
be
looking
for
whatever
support,
especially
for
dollars
that
have
to
be
spent
by
December.
So
we
have
funded
in
the
community
through
the
care
bag.
I
mean
because
these
are
families
we
can
get
out
with.
E
A
A
Consideration
I
think
getting
a
lot
of
emails
and
and
some
phone
calls
about
a
little
bit
of
fatigue.
This
is
our
tenth
straight
meeting
since
April
and
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
kind
of
compile
the
agenda
a
little
for
us
to
meet
next
Thursday
and
then
maybe
take
a
a
two
weeks
hiatus
to
give
everybody
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
clear
their
their
heads
and
step
away
for
a
little
bit
and
come
back
recharged.
A
Two
we
break
allow
me
and
the
staff
to
kind
of
catch
up
internally
with
some
of
the
recommendations
that
was
already
made
and
kind
of
mixture,
that's
going
through
the
system
properly
and
then
reconvened
on
July
23rd.
If
it's
the
desire
of
the
task
force.
So
any
comments
in
reference
to
that
adjustment
of
our
work
plan
and
I'll
stay.
D
Council
member
Graham,
while
while
you're
taking
suggestions
and
while
you're
taking
recommendations
for
great
I,
definitely
have
planned
a
vacation
for
next
Thursday,
then
I
saw
that
I
was
due
for
recommendations.
I
would
love
for
us
to
take
next
Thursday
off
and
push
it
back
so
that
I
can
take
my
vacation
day
on
Thursday.
It
is
leading
it
to
the
4th
of
July
weekend.
A
You
you
were
the
only
reason
why
I
wanted
to
be
respectful
of
your
presentation
and
if
you
are
willing
to
defer
those
recommendations
so
that
you
could
take
a
well-earned
vacation.
I'm.
Ok
with
that
as
well
and
we'll
just
send
something
out
to
the
task
force
about
adjusting
the
calendar
and
I
think
we
can
send
something
out
that
will
make
everybody
everybody
happy
and
still
stay
consistent
in
terms
of
the
work
flow.
A
So
if
you
will
allow
me
and
this
white
men
task
force
members
to
kind
of
work
out
the
logistics
of
that
and
send
something
out
to
each
one
of
you,
I
think
we
can
make
those
adjustments
any
any
suggestions
or
any
pushback
hearing.
None.
So
look
forward
to
an
email
coming
from
from
us
this
week,
applying
on
no
meeting
for
for
next
Thursday
for
sure
and
then
we'll
announce
what
the
new
revised
schedule
looks
like.
It
may
be
a
one
or
two
week:
I.
A
It
is,
but
we'll
we'll
work
out
the
logistic
and
communicate
with
everyone
again.
I'll
just
say
this:
I
really
appreciate
everyone.
I
mean
it's
been
ten
straight
Thursday's
I
think
the
attendance
has
been
perfect
from
everyone.
The
information
that
that
has
been
presented
and
voted
upon
has
been
I
think
forward-thinking,
obviously,
there's
more
work
to
be
done,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
for
your
your
input,
your
participation
and
your
commitment
to
public
service.
Thank
you
very
much
and
with
that
enjoy
your
vacation.
This
meaning
is
a
journey.
