J
B
Thank
you.
Everyone
before
we
get
started,
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
pause,
to
remember
the
life
and
memory
of
john
lewis,
who
will
be
buried
today
in
atlanta,
georgia,
john
lewis,
statesman
civil
rights
leader
icon
that
paved
the
way
for
so
many
of
individuals.
That
look
like
me
to
have
the
opportunity
to
sit
in
this
chair.
B
Lewis,
thank
you
very
much.
We
have
a
full
agenda.
We
have
good
news
and
bad
news.
The
good
news
is
that
mr
lindsay
is
presenting
his
final
report
today.
The
bad
news
is
that
this
is
our
final
meeting
and
you
guys
will
not
be
around
the
dice
with
me
every
thursday,
and
so
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
towards
the
end.
How
we're
wrapping
up
the
today
we
have
the
recommendation
from
task
force
four
and
commissioner
lindsey.
B
J
J
Certainly,
there
was
not
a
sufficient
amount
of
time
for
us
to
address
all
the
items
that
arose
doing
the
work
on
this
task,
but
but
I've
done
my
best
to
try
and
distill
that
and
get
you
as
much
information
as
possible.
The
bios
for
your
speak
for
the
speakers
today
are
included
in
the
package,
so
I'll
dispense
with
any
formal
introduction
of
them
and
at
this
point
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr
boyce
for
his
presentation.
J
Also,
I'm
asking
all
of
my
public
speakers
today
to
kind
of
do
their
best
to
adhere
to
the
time
frames
that
we
discussed.
So
I'm
gonna
be
monitoring
that
and-
and
I
won't
be
rude,
but
I
will
remind
folks
when
we've
reached
that
time
point
and
for
the
first
speaker,
mr
boyce,
I
would
ask
the
mr
chair
if
we
could
allow
task
force
members
to
ask
their
questions
immediately
following
his
presentation.
J
L
Great
well,
thank
you
very
much,
anthony
and
members
of
the
council
on
the
task
force.
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
on
behalf
of
true
homes.
I
want
to
affirm
that
we
are
committed
to
being
a
part
of
the
emerging
housing
solution,
part
of
the
solution
of
the
emerging
housing
crisis
here
in
charlotte
at
true
homes.
This
year
we'll
build
about
1800
homes.
L
We
serve
the
first
time.
First
time
move
up,
buyer
segment,
predominantly
and
in
charlotte
about
half
of
the
homes
we
build
are
how
charlotte
qualified
so
they're
under
the
230
000
limit
for
qualification
for
house
charlotte
down
payment
assistance,
I'm
going
to
be
speaking
about
three
things,
mr
lindsey
shared.
First,
let
me
talk
about
the
approval
process,
I'll
be
sharing
some
context
as
well
as
hopefully
some
constructive
suggestions.
L
So,
first
as
it
relates
to
the
engineering
approval
process,
we
are
finding
that
in
many
cities,
including
charlotte,
that
the
engineering
approval
process
is
getting
extended
anywhere
from
upwards
of
12
to
15
months
and
typically
in
charlotte.
We
are
now
at
a
pace
where
we're
going
through
three
or
four
review
cycles.
L
L
We
do
have
kind
of
five
areas
that
we
think
that
our
opportunities
for
improvement,
one
is
the
quality
of
once
you
go
back
quality
of
our
initial
engineering
submittal,
our
engineers
communication
with
departments
shared
thoroughness.
By
both
our
engineer
and
reviewers,
we
are
seeing
increased
development
standards
and
have
for
many
years
and
finally,
staff
reviewer
consistency,
sometimes
we're
seeing
different
reviewers
assigned
to
the
same
project
for
these
multiple
review
cycles
next
photo.
L
So
the
cost
of
the
extended
review
cycle
results
in
delay,
which
time
is
money,
loss
of
units
many
times
increased
costs,
lack
of
flexibility
and
then
other
operational
inefficiencies
not
only
for
the
developer
and
builder.
But
I
also
believe
for
the
city
next
slide
and
so
on
this
topic.
We
think
there
are
opportunities
for
collaboration
for
streamlining
number.
One
is
the
focus
on
these
principles,
design,
intent
versus
the
strip
application
of
rules.
L
Basically,
at
the
same
time
that
the
city
opened
this
cross-functional
intraday
departmental
space,
I
think
led
by
alice
and
craig,
and
so
we've
not
been
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
benefits
that
that
could
offer
are
very
hopeful
that
when
we
reopen
that
those
benefits
will
be
available,
I
would
suggest
also
in
the
engineering
review
process.
I
understand
that
there's
expedited
reviews
for
what's
termed
affordable
housing
and
that's
typically
light
tech
deals.
L
It
would
be
our
strong
recommendation
that
with
those
communities
where
we
are
providing
attainable,
workforce
ownership
housing
that
those
would
also
be
considered
as
part
of
the
spectrum
of
critical,
affordable
solutions,
in
this
case
ownership
solutions
for
the
city.
So
next
slide,
I'm
going
to
now
turn
to
accessory
dwelling
units.
L
Next
slide,
we
have
been
building
these
in
charlotte.
Here's
an
example
of
a
primary
home
on
pinkney
avenue
in
villa
heights.
I've
given
addresses
here
for
reference
that
you
might
choose
to
visit,
but
we
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
providing
affordable
rental
situations,
we're
basically
building
a
second
home
through
the
adu
on
this
home
site.
L
Next
slide
the
virtues
of
adus,
as
we
see
it
number
one
is:
it
adds
diversity
and
affordability
to
the
neighborhood
housing
stock.
So
again
at
65
000.
This
homeowner
could
rent
that
apartment
space
for
six
to
eight
hundred
dollars,
a
second
it
utilizes
existing
infrastructure
or
not
building
roads.
You
you,
as
a
city
you're,
not
maintaining
additional
roads
and
infrastructure,
but
it's
a
it's,
not
the
ultimate
infill
solution
and
it's
on
an
individual
and
scalable
basis.
L
L
The
other
key
benefit
is
this
rear
yard
land
resource
is
available
now
to
be
built
on.
So,
in
other
words,
we
do
not
have
to
go
through
the
development
approval
process.
Engineering
review
process
I
just
described.
Nor
do
we
have
to
go
through
the
physical
development
process,
which
typically
takes
9
to
12
months.
So
this
is
a
solution
that
we
can
get
after
very
quickly
and
then,
finally,
it
is
permitted
under
your
zoning
ordinance
and
it
is
a
source
of
income
for
the
owner
next
slide.
L
Please,
some
additional
support
from
the
city
we've
been
in
conversation
with
a
major
developer,
in
los
angeles,
who
is
planning
to
do
upwards
of
a
thousand
of
these
a
year.
Excuse
me,
per
month,
in
the
year
2022
and
in
los
angeles
as
well
as
portland
and
vancouver.
These
are
examples
of
things
the
city
is
doing
to
provide
additional
support
to
encourage
adu.
So
that's
sharing
of
water
and
sewer
meters
waiting
requirements
for
additional
parking.
No
survey
is
required
in
permitting.
L
L
So
my
last
minute
or
two
we'll
turn
to
the
last
slide,
which
is
our
program
at
true
homes
that
we
announced
in
february
at
our
annual
banker
developer
breakfast,
and
that
is
our
commitment
to
build
up
to
100
homes
per
year
in
charlotte
at
cost.
These
homes
range
from
accessory
dwelling
units
to
small
single
family
homes
and
town
homes,
and
the
price
range
at
our
cost
is
55
to
85
000.
L
E
Thank
you.
I
I
just
I
get.
I
have
a
question,
so
adus
is
something
that
I've
tried
to
push
since
I
got
into
office
and
I
do
think
it
is
a
solution
in
general
and
specifically,
as
we
deal
with
this
housing
crisis,
why
have?
Why
specifically,
have
these
not
come
to
market
in,
in
the
way
that
many
of
us
would
like
to
here
in
charlotte?
What
what
needs
to
happen
to
make
this
more
of
a
reality
and
to
be
clear?
E
L
I
think
I
can't
speak
to
why
not
many
have
been
built.
We
are
building
many
of
them
again
by
offering
it
to
our
home
buyers
at
cost
the
problem
or
the
challenge
on
keeping
them
long-term
affordable.
If
we
sell
that
to
a
homeowner
at
65
000,
they
could
rent
it
for
six
to
eight
hundred,
but
the
market
rent
for
that
that
they
are
achieving
is
closer
to
1200.
L
So
that
is
our
idea
with
this
permanent,
affordable
rental
program
to
collaborate
with
groups
like
in
libya,
the
housing
partnership
community
link
they
serve
as
owners.
We
sell
it
at
cost
to
them
and
connect
that
to
new
sources
of
grants
and
financing,
not
existing
sources.
But
the
banks
want
to
do
cra
loans
with
30
and
40-year
mortgages
for
these
cdcs,
and
that
ensures
that
it
can
continue
to
be
rented
in
that
six
to
eight
hundred
dollar
range.
L
Also
with
this
idea,
it
can
work
on
a
land
lease
with
churches
and
create
an
income
stream
for
churches
on
spare
land,
and
it
can
also
work
for
homeowners,
who
would
be
willing
to
put
long-term
leases
on
their
on
their
rear
yard,
where
these
adus
could
be
built
and
be
owned
by
these
cdc's
that
I've
described.
So
we
think
we've
got
a
meaningful
solution
to
go
forward
with.
L
Great
thank
you
for
that
question.
The
the
ultimate
solution
is
ownership
rather
than
agreement
so
again
with
california's
senate
bill.
1120
you'll
be
able
to
actually
subdivide
your
lot
and
you
could
place
that
adu
and
your
rear
lot
in
your
rear
yard,
and
that
long-term
ownership
by
a
cdc
like
in
libyan,
a
housing
partnership
or
community
link,
is
the
mechanism
that
ensures
that
it
will
stay
affordable
for
the
long
term.
The
other
benefit
of
being
able
to
subdivide
your
lot
is
that
that
can
become
a
very
affordable
ownership
option,
not
just
a
long-term
rental
option.
L
I
I
have
a
follow-up
to
that
question.
Hopefully
I
can
ask
it
and
fred.
I
apologize
for
putting
the
housing
partnership
on
the
spot
with
this
question,
but
the
housing
partnership
built
home
ownership,
opportunities
that
were
affordable
in
the
druid,
hills,
neighborhood
and
those
lots
that
those
homes
were
built
on
were
fairly
deep
lots.
So,
theoretically,
an
adu
could
have
been
built
towards
the
back
end
of
one
of
those
lots
that
the
setbacks
allow.
I
H
I
think
in
this,
in
that
example,
the
homeowner
would
own
the
adu,
just
as
just
as
we
have
in
flight
walk
their
their
adus
now
in
in
bright
wall.
Only
thing
that
we
couldn't
do
there
is
to
that
circumstances,
to
put
deep
restrictions
to
to
guarantee
affordability.
I
think
mr
boyce's
ideas
is
a
better
idea
that
is
working
with
organizations
such
as
the
faith
community,
where
you
can
put
long-term
affordability
restrictions
on
the
home.
I
think
that
that
is
a
better
solution.
B
J
Thanks,
mr
graham
mark,
thanks
very
much
you
you
hit
all
the
key
points
I
I
was
hoping
that
you
would.
I
really
appreciate
it
and
just
for
the
rest
of
the
task
force
in
the
material
that
I
sent
to.
You
is
a
very
well
done,
study
by
the
city
on
adus,
it's
the
adu
report
and
in
that
report
it
also
touches
on
a
adu,
affordable
housing
program
which
I'm
going
to
also
be
making
recommendations
about
as
we
move
forward.
J
But
I
wanted
to
get
get
that
public
testimony
on
the
table
early
so
that
you
all
could
hear
more
about
the
opportunity
that
was
very
real
and
that
is
available
to
us
right
now
and
we
can
implement
it.
The
next
speaker
that
we
have
is
ryan
carter
and
ryan
is
with
habitat
for
humanity
and
ryan's
going
to
talk
with
us
about
the
source
of
income
discrimination.
J
So
if
you
could
bring
the
slides
up
for
ryan,
I
think
ryan
has
a
is
actually
doing
a
narrative
presentation
but
ryan's
gonna
talk
to
us
about
that.
They've
been
working
on
this
issue
in
combination
with
a
a
vast
array
of
community
partners,
including
and
live
in
on
this
issue,
for
quite
some
time
now
and
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
background
material,
including
the
package
that
were
sent
to
you,
as
well
as
a
actual
draft
of
a
proposed
ordinance
around
this
issue.
M
M
M
It
is
rare
that
we
find
an
issue
that
impacts
the
entire
housing
continuum.
We
know
that
families
cannot
move
out
of
temporary
and
shelter
housing.
They
cannot
find
a
landlord
rule
except
their
rental
assistance.
We
know
that
it
is
difficult
for
an
applying
tenant
to
obtain
a
lease
with
inconsistent
housing
on
their
record.
You
know.
Families
cannot
obtain
a
mortgage
without
proof
of
rent
because
of
this
impact
on
the
entire
continuum
source
of
income.
Discrimination
drastically
impedes
upward
mobility,
pulitzer
prize-winning
sociologist
and
author
of
evicted,
dr
matthew
desmond
states
that
quote.
M
M
The
national
league
of
cities
published
their
local
tools
to
address
housing,
affordability,
analysis
in
2019.
The
four
policy
changes
they
rate
recommended
cities
take
addressing
source
of
income.
Discrimination
is
one
of
them
to
quote
limit
discrimination
and
help
extend
housing
options
does
help
using
housing
vouchers.
While
these
examples
reference
vouchers,
we
know
source
of
income
discrimination
impacts,
many
other
households
who
do
not
participate
in
section
8,
voucher
program.
We
know
that
many
homeless
veterans,
for
example,
have
rental
assistance
through
the
va,
but
simply
cannot
find
landlords
to
take
their
payments.
M
M
We
have
heard
from
disability
rights
groups
and
individual
testimony
that
disability
checks
are
not
always
accepted
for
rent
a
couple
living
on
disability
with
a
combined
monthly
household
income
of
2
857
could
not
find
a
landlord
who
accept
their
disability
checks
as
income.
The
loophole
remains
in
the
rental
market,
and
protected
classes
are
constantly
slipping
through
it.
A
recent
report
from
in
libya
demonstrates
the
disparate
impact
that
source
of
income
discrimination
has
on
protected
classes.
M
M
M
Fear
cities
with
similar
political
environments
such
as
baltimore,
minneapolis,
new
york,
city,
philadelphia,
seattle,
chicago
austin
and
now
atlanta
have
all
passed
such
ordinances,
the
city
of
charlotte's
housing
framework
places
a
strong
foundation
for
addressing
sources
of
income.
Discrimination,
objective
two
preserve
the
affordability
and
improve
the
quality
of
existing
rental
housing
stock
strategy.
M
Yes,
congress
could
outlaw
source
of
income
discrimination
across
the
country,
but
this
is
not
a
national
issue
and
the
realities
of
congress
acting
on
this
current
political
climate
is
impossible
to
fathom.
However,
if
enough
local
governments
take
a
strong
lead
on
the
issue,
you're
more
likely
to
see
congress
follow
their
example.
M
The
same
argument
can
be
made
for
the
north
carolina
general
assembly
markets
in
eastern
north
carolina
and
counties
that
are
seeing
a
population
decrease
need
tenants.
Further.
The
narrative
in
many
legislative
offices
in
raleigh
remain
that
housing
is
a
local
issue
and
that
the
general
assembly
shouldn't
get
involved
even
in
the
urban
markets.
We
see
this
as
a
major
issue
only
where
developable
land
is
scarce,
such
as
charlotte
and
asheville,
not
the
regional
housing
markets
of
the
triangle.
M
While
we
are
certainly
not
here
to
talk
about
that
issue,
I
was
reassured
to
read
the
article
that
charlotte
leaders
say
they
aren't
deterred
by
the
state's
history
of
opposition
to
the
issue,
and
that
quote,
we
can't
wait
to
determine
what
is
best
for
charlotte
until
we
think
we
have
a
favorable
landscape
in
raleigh.
We
need
this
bold
leadership
on
source
of
income
discrimination
too.
M
So
why
you
and
why?
Now,
while
source
of
income
discrimination
precedes
the
outbreak
of
covet
19,
the
pandemic
has
and
will
drastically
impact
the
ability
of
applicant
renters
with
rental
assistance
to
access
housing.
We
know
that
there
is
an
extreme
backlog
of
eviction
filings
for
the
last
two
months.
Talking
to
the
magistrate
court,
we
have
1400
evictions
that
still
haven't
been
processed
with
this
drastic
increase
in
eviction
filings
were
destined
to
see
a
wave
crash
upon
us
and
the
need
for
rental
assistance
skyrocket,
with
the
drastic
increase
in
need.
M
It
is
imperative
that
source
of
income
discrimination
be
outlawed
now
to
ensure
families
in
need
of
rental
assistance
can
quickly
receive
support
and
find
housing.
We
know
that
the
effects
of
the
coca-19
crisis
will
be
felt
for
years
to
come,
and
it
is
critical
that
we
take
bold
action
now
to
help
diminish
the
lasting
impacts
of
copen.
M
Thus,
the
call
to
action
is
to
you.
We
ask
that
the
city
of
charlotte
and
city
council
amend
our
fair
housing
ordinance
to
prohibit
source
of
income
discrimination
of
any
legal,
verifiable
income
and
rent
payment
source
to
learn
more
about
source
of
income
discrimination,
our
local
efforts
to
end
it
and
how
to
become
more
involved.
I
encourage
you
to
visit.
All
income
counts

com.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
look
forward
to
your
questions
in
the
following
conversation.
B
Thank
you
ryan
for
that
very
well
presentation,
well-spoken
presentation,
a
topic
that
a
number
of
members
are
interested
in
I'm
very
interested
in
the
topic,
and
I
think
mr
lindsey
wanted
to
have
the
last
speaker
speak
and
then
questions
from
the
for
the
yes,
okay,
so
we're
gonna
we're
here
from
one
more
speaker,
mr
lindsey
will
make
the
introduction
and
then
we'll
hold
all
the
questions
and
what
acts
both
together.
That
sounds
good.
B
J
Also,
I
want
to
make
sure
everybody
realizes
that,
in
the
package
of
information
we
sent
to,
you
is
a
full
background
briefing
on
this
topic,
as
well
as
also
proposed
legislation
and
some
sample
legislation
that
other
cities
have
enacted.
Other
states
have
enacted
so
there's
a
great
deal
of
background
information
there
for
you
as
well,
and
at
this
point
I
will
turn
it
over
to.
N
Thank
you,
mr
lindsey.
Excuse
me
miss
bing
if
I
could
get
you
to
advance
to
slide
nine.
For
me,
I
want
to
thank
the
housing
task
force
committee,
and
I
also
would
like
to
give
a
special
recognition
to
mr
lindsey
now
also
renee
johnson,
who
has
been
an
ally
and
advocate
and
worked
with
us
incessantly
on
this
issue.
N
N
We
would
ask
that
this
applied
to
all
rental
housing
providers,
receiving
city
funding
for
the
development,
capital,
improvement,
lease
trade
transfer,
tax,
deferment,
financial
incentives
or
any
other
favorable
monetary
considerations
that
these
rules
would
apply,
which
would
cast
the
the
biggest
that
we
believe.
I
I
understand
that
it
does
not
include
singular
private
landlords,
but
that
it
would
give
the
best
opportunity
to
level
the
playing
field
if
the
slots
can
be
advanced
to
number
one.
Please.
N
That
would
automatically
put
up
some
type
of
discriminatory
type
of
experience
for
them
in
dealing
with
housing.
North
carolina,
housing,
finance
agency
has
a
model
for
this,
and
they
have
some
existing
legislation
around
this
and
policy
around.
This
is
this
is
where
we
have
gotten
the
best
idea
of
what
we
can
do
next
slide.
Please.
N
The
2020
estimate,
which
we
won't
know
until
the
close
of
this
year
and
next
year
we're
able
to
look
at
the
statistical
data,
but
it's
estimated
that
688
000
voting
age
people
will
have
some
type
of
issue
with
criminal
convictions
going
forward,
and
that
is
a
big
portion
of
our
community.
Next
slide.
N
It's
eight
percent
of
our
community
in
the
local
area,
and
it
doesn't
necessarily
just
look
like
one.
Certain
demographic
expands,
the
lower
income,
moderate
income,
all
the
way
into
people
of
wealth
and
stature
can
and
have
experience,
felony
convictions.
So
this
thing
is
not
just
a
certain
person
or
a
certain
people's
issue.
It's
really
a
community
issue,
and
it's
really
something
that
we
have
to
look
at
in
a
broader
landscape.
N
N
Next
slide,
please
here's
the
the
real
challenge
for
a
person
like
myself,
arrest,
a
charge,
conviction
and
sentence
are
all
different
stages
of
this
process,
but
at
arrest
an
arrest
record
is
created.
It
is
generated
online
by
the
arresting
agency
and
it
stays
in
perpetuity
whether
I
get
convicted,
whether
I
get
sentenced,
whether
I
do
time
or
not,
I
am
immediately
put
into
a
category
whereby
a
bias
will
exist
and
it
will
make
it
more
challenging
for
me
to
go
forward,
but
not
just
me
other
people.
Similarly
situated
next
slide.
Please.
N
What
the
employment
opportunity
commission
wards
against.
We
tend
to
agree
with
that.
You
cannot
look
at
a
person's
past
and
judge
who
they
are
or
whether
or
not
they're
a
good
candidate
and
will
be
somebody
who
will
be
able
to
take
care
of
their
responsibilities.
So
the
greatest
ass
you
can
take
the
slides
down
now.
N
The
greatest
ass
of
the
re-entry
housing
alliance
is
that
we
are
able
to
help
our
community
members
by
leveling
the
playing
field
whereby
we
have
some
type
of
framework
where
they'll
have
a
legitimate
chance
at
overcoming
the
bias,
because,
no
matter
how
much
legislation
we
enact,
we
cannot
take
a
person's
bias
away
from
them,
so
legislation
would
only
be
helping
to
level
the
playing
field,
and
we
are
very
hopeful
that
we
are
able
to
do
something
with
these
amendments
coming
up.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
I'll
stand
by
for
questions.
B
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation
and
the
work
that
you're
doing
in
the
community.
It's
very
very
important
work,
and
I
I
appreciate
you.
I
also
appreciate
council
member
johnson.
I
know
this
is
an
issue
that
I
think
our
first
community
meeting
before
we
were
elected.
She
took
me
to
a
meeting
on
this
very
same
topic,
so
I
want
to
thank
her
for
her
work
even
before
she
was
sworn
in
on
this
particular
issue.
C
Thank
you,
mr
chair
and
gentlemen,
thank
you
both
for
your
presentations,
both
very
well
put
together
and
presented,
and
both
issues
that
I
think
are
critical
for
us
to
address.
My
question
somewhat
of
my
question
last
week,
mr
chair,
what
is
your
vision
for
our
path
here
and
how
soon
do
you
think
that
your
great
neighborhoods
committee
can
take
up
these
issues?
I
know
this
being
our
last
meeting
of
the
task
force
today.
C
B
I
think
sooner
more
than
later
and
the
recommendations
from
both
reports
today
will
be
forwarded
to
the
great
neighborhoods
committee
to
act
upon,
and
I
can
assure
you
my
interest
as
well
as
other
council
members
on
both
of
these
topics
that
we'll
be
taking
up.
I
guess
when
we
meet
late
august,
whenever
the
next
meeting
is
it'll,
definitely
be
a
topic
of
discussion
and
how
we
process
the
the
information.
F
Thank
you
very
much
at
this
point.
I
just
have
a
quick
question.
I
think
when
we
discuss
discussion
of
recommendations,
I
may
have
a
few
comments
but
ryan.
Thanks
for
the
presentation,
I
appreciate
it
a
clarification
question
based
on
a
discussion
or
email
we
had
several
months
ago,
compared
to
what
mr
lindsay
said
last
week,
I
wanted
to
clarify
your
position
on.
Do
you
think
state
action
is
required
in
order
to
to
have
a
to
prohibit
source
of
income
discrimination?
Is
that
something
the
state
does
have
to
be?
M
M
You
look
at
orange
county
where
chapel
hill
is
and
then
the
town
of
davidson
as
well
both
have
enacted
inclusionary
zoning,
which
is
a
big
as,
as
you
know,
as
a
developer,
is
a
big
no-no
in
in
state
terms.
They
did
not
seek
state
approval
to
do
that
and
that's
happened
multiple
times
in
multiple
different
segments
across
the
state.
So
it's
it's
not
explicitly
stated
that
we
can
or
cannot.
M
So
so
to
answer
your
question,
there's
nothing
that
says
we
can
there's
nothing.
That
says
we
can't,
but
to
quote
mr
eggleston,
we
we
can't
wait
for
the
appropriate.
The
the
lines
of
the
tea
leaves
to
be
perfect
and
raleigh
for
this
to
happen
that
the
need
is
simply
too
great
here
in
our
charlotte
community.
B
If
I
can
add
something
to
that
and
select,
so
we
can
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
I'll
leave
legal
guidance,
because
I've
already
asked
a
question
in
anticipation
is
that
we
would
have
to
go
to
raleigh,
and
so
after
this
meeting
is
over.
Certainly,
I
would
love
to
get
with
council
member
winston
to
make
sure
that
you
know.
E
Yeah,
so
just
just
a
little
background,
especially
maybe,
mr
graham
you
weren't
here
last
term.
This
was
something
that
I
think
that
we
tried
to
get
on
the
current,
the
last
legislative
state
legislative
agenda.
There
was
not
the
political
will
to
do
that
on
council
at
the
time,
so
our
staff
has
already
done
some
work
in
terms
of
looking
at
this
from
you
know,
from
a
a
lobbying
perspective,
but
my
question
was
gonna,
be
a
relationship
to
miss
weidman.
E
K
E
B
D
D
Now
to
have
seen
check
chevrolet's
presentation.
Many
of
you
don't
know,
but
this
is
why
iran
is
trying
to
help
someone
with
disability
who
had
a
criminal
background,
find
affordable
housing
and
it
was
impos.
It
was
nearly
impossible
here
in
charlotte,
so
this
moment
is
just
I'm
very
honored
to
serve
also
with
source
of
income
discrimination.
We
know
that's
an
issue
as
well,
so
I
I
have
the
political
will.
D
I
will
do
whatever
I
can
to
support
it,
and
and
thank
you,
mr
lindsey,
and
and
ryan
carter
and
chadley
and
all
of
you.
These
are
practical
issues
that
are
driving
homelessness
and
the
lack
of
lack
of
suitable
and
permanent
housing.
So
I'm
just
honored
to
to
have
seen
this
presentation
today.
So
thank
you
guys.
B
Thank
you,
miss
johnson,
for
for
your
leadership
on
this
issue
and,
like
I
said
when
I
think,
was
the
first
meeting
we
we
were
together.
We
went
to
I
think,
and
at
the
county
building
together
where
I
was
able
to
hear
a
number
of
stories
that
needed
to
be
solved,
and
you
were
right
there
solving
the
problems
with
the
with
the
community.
So
thank
you
any
other
questions.
L
J
J
J
I
was
able
to
capture
some
of
the
emails
and
put
them
in
testimonies
around
this
issue
of
re-entry
housing
and
that's
also
included
in
the
information
there's
a
dropbox
link
that
gail
sent
out
that
has
additional
information
beyond
what
was
included
in
your
actual
package.
So
I
encourage
everybody
to
take
the
time
to
look
at
that
information
and
familiarize
yourself
with
it,
because
that
is
where
the
essential
elements
of
the
data
points
are
that
you
all
asking
questions
about.
J
J
So
I'm
going
to,
for
the
sake
of
time,
I'm
going
to
start
to
kind
of
move
through
some
of
this
information
and
the
slides
can
sort
of
catch
up
to
me.
I
had
identified
four
focus
areas
that
I
would
be
presenting
recommendations
on
today
and
those
four
focus
areas
were:
the
zoning,
ordinance,
accommodations
development
fees
and
approval
procedures,
new
housing,
ordinance
legislation
and
housing
policy
actualization.
J
J
At
this
point,
I
also
reference
a
the
adu
study
report,
which
was
included
in
the
materials
that
I
sent
to
you
and
in
my
view,
that
is
the
most
intellectually
honest
report
that
I've
seen
come
out
of.
Work
that's
been
done
by
the
city
and
I
believe
it
to
be
a
model
process,
and
I'm
recommending
that,
as
we
go
forward
later
on
I'll,
be
making
additional
references
to
that.
So
you
can
advance
to
the
next
slide
for
me
go
so
these
are
the
three
recommendation
areas
for
the
zoning
ordinance
accommodations.
J
J
But
it's
a
group
called
opticos
design
and
what
they
discovered
is
that
this
missing
middle
housing
types
can
provide
a
abundance
of
different
options
and
choices
at
affordable
pricing,
and
we
can
integrate
that
into
the
community
in
a
in
a
holistic
kind
of
way,
and
in
fact,
when
we
look
around
the
city
of
charlotte,
we
already
see
that
those
types
of
units
have
been
available
for
a
considerable
period
of
time.
So
it
is
not
new
that
we
would
be
introducing
those
things.
J
This
will
also
get
to
the
strategy
of
increasing
supply.
It'll
also
provide
some
opportunity
for
us
to
increase
the
finding
unique
ways
of
being
able
to
increase
production
and
and
with
all
due
respect
to
the
existing
udo
process.
We
know
that
that
review
process
is
really
focused
on
trying
to
integrate
our
various
policies
together.
So
we're
talking
about
now
more
unique
focus
on
finding
ways
of
increasing
production
and
the
third
one
is.
J
Now
I
I
realized
that
the
city's
already
made
some
text
amendments
to
address
changes
to
dod
zoning
and,
to
be
quite
frank
with
you,
I
read,
I
tried
to
read
those
they
were
very
technical,
so
I
don't
know
whether
or
not
the
changes
that
have
been
made
actually
do
address
this
issue
or
not,
but
but
it
is
a
recommendation
that
we
need
to
move
forward
with
next
slide.
Please
in
the
area
of
development
fees
and
approval
procedures,
I've
got
two
recommendations
here.
J
First,
I
believe
we
should
implement
a
fee
reduction
for
of
at
least
50
percent
on
the
plan
review
and
approval
and
permit
fees
for
these
small
projects,
the
5
to
20
unit
projects.
I
mentioned
at
the
last
my
presentation
that
some
70
000
of
those
units
exist.
What
I
don't
know
is
whether
or
not
those
units
are
increasing
at
the
same
pace
as
other
types
of
units
are
increasing,
and
could
these
become
a
more
viable
option
that
are
more
easily
produced,
more
quickly
produced
and
at
lower
cost.
J
J
J
First
is
that
we
need
to
seek
whatever
legislative
authorities
necessary
from
the
state
to
include
source
of
income
discrimination
in
the
city's
code,
and
we
need
to
make
it
an
ongoing
top
legislative
priority
for
the
city.
There
is
a
proposed
ordinance.
You
can
read
that
the
staff
has
access
to
it.
J
They
can
read
it,
but
notwithstanding
that
action,
the
city
can-
and
I
believe,
should
affirm
in
all
its
policies
relating
to
the
granting
of
city
funds
for
use
in
development
capital
improvements,
any
other
kinds
of
monetary
considerations
relating
to
or
in
connection
with,
the
housing
that
recipients
of
those
funds
agree
not
to
discriminate
against
or
reject
applicants
based
on
the
legal
source
of
income.
They
present
next
slide
please
now.
Obviously,
this
is
eliminating
the
discrimination,
inequality
and
injustice,
but
it's
also
going
to
increase
access
to
available
housing.
J
I
believe
it
potentially
will
help
to
close
the
gap
between
supply
and
demand.
I
also
believe
this
may
be
a
way
of
helping
to
increase
dispersion
of
the
target
affordability,
income
groups
as
well
as
potentially
improve
the
accuracy
of
our
real
supply
gap.
I
mentioned
that
in
the
last
in
my
last
presentation
on
the
subject
of
the
housing,
reentry
exact
same
thing:
we
need
to
seek
legislation.
J
J
We
need
to
ensure
that
all
city
policies
related
to
the
use
of
funds
that
we
grant
for
development
and
and
other
types
of
activities,
including
tax
increment
grants,
the
capital
improvement
provisions
and
so
forth
that
there
is
a
an
agreement
by
the
recipients
of
those
funds
not
to
discriminate
against
or
reject
applicants
based
on
criminal,
in
violation
of
these
proposed
equitable
access
to
rental,
housing,
ordinances,
again
same
outcomes.
We
hope
that
this
will
also
obviously
eliminate
the
discrimination.
J
J
Secondly,
I
think
we
need
to
set
aside
an
annual
allocation
of
initially
at
least
5
million-
to
support
the
funding
of
these
small
housing
projects.
Creative
alternative
housing
projects
and
programs
that
are
responding
to
these
emerging
housing
needs
again.
This
is
going
to
help
us
get
to
more
innovation,
increase
the
supply,
the
number
and
capacity
I
believe,
of
housing
providers
and
then
also
increase
access
and
availability
of
choice.
J
So
folks,
who
have
ideas
and
proposals,
they
have
a
place
to
go
that
can
work
on
helping
to
develop
it
and
put
it
into
a
format
that
can
be
implemented
and
then,
lastly
developed
some
policy
initiatives
that
are
designed
to
support
the
production
of
housing,
starting
at
110
percent.
We
heard
mark
talk
about
they're
already
producing
housing,
that's
affordable
for
individuals
who
qualify
for
house
charlotte.
J
We
need
to
work
downward
from
that
and
use
that
availability
of
housing
to
help
increase
the
supply
for
those
60
ami
for
home
ownership,
as
well
as
increasing
rental
units
down
from
60
and
below
the
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
one
is
the
actual
program
that
you
all
have
in
your
packages
as
well.
This
was
to
provide
you
with
background
on
the
adu
program,
the
affordable
housing
program
and
the
potential
of
being
able
to
implement
this
program
in
a
partnership.
Again,
this
study
was
done.
J
I
believe
that
these
policies
or
these
recommendations
would
definitely
help
us
to
decrease
the
down
pressure
on
supply,
to
promote
innovation,
improve
the
coordination,
efficiency
and
effectiveness
across
the
solution
space
and
also
help
to
concentrate
a
highly
functioning
effort
focused
on
advancement
and
improvement
of
the
housing
delivery
system,
while
no
longer
siphoning
off
resources,
time
and
talent
from
the
ongoing
operations
and
execution
of
our
housing
strategy.
I
know
someone
would
challenge
me
to
say:
well,
we
have
a
planning
department,
we
have
neighborhood
services
department
and
I
and
those
organizations
are
functioning
very
well.
J
What
we're
missing
is
perhaps
this
middle
group
or
middle
organization
that
can
take
the
portion
that
focuses
specifically
on
the
housing
delivery
system.
The
planning
organization
has
a
30
000
quid
view.
Neighborhood
services
is
on
the
ground,
getting
the
work
done,
carrying
out
and
executing
every
day.
So
perhaps
we
need
to
look
at
this
part
of
how
do
we
focus
on
the
innovation
improvements
and
be
able
to
improve
coordination
so
that
these
programs
can
be
better
implemented?
J
B
B
B
It
was
very
thorough,
very
good
work
and
it
lays
the
foundation
for
the
great
neighborhood
committee
to
assume
much
of
it,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
for
your
presentation
and
the
work
that
you've
done
on
this
particular
task.
Any
questions
from
the
task
force
members
and
we
will
start
with
council
member
winston.
E
Thank
you
so
regards
to
the
zoning
review.
I
think
the
recommendations
are
great,
but
I
kind
of
already
know
the
answer
that
staff
will
bring
forward
to
us
that
this
is
part
of
the
comprehensive
2040
plan
process
and,
as
you
mentioned,
the
udl
process
and
those
things
are
going
to
be
rolled
out
and
we're
doing
this
with
our
north
star.
E
I
will
challenge
staff
right
now
that
that
is
not
a
sufficient
answer,
while
the
the
2040
process
is
important
and
we
have
to
do
that-
that
is
our
normal
business
and
we
are
on
the
covet
pandemic
relief
track.
We
need
these
recommendations
that
are
specific
to
covert
relief.
We
need
housing
and
neighborhood
services
staff,
as
well
as
our
planning
staff,
to
figure
out
an
accelerated
process
that
identifies
and
and
moves
to
action.
These
recommendations
that
council
sees
fit
around
pandemic
housing
relief
as
soon
as
possible.
E
K
K
Understood
so,
if
so,
if
it's
policy
work,
I
think
that
policy
work
will
come
out
of
what
we
what
we've
been
doing
over
the
last
12
or
13
weeks.
So
we've
you
will
see
more
pin
to
pay
for
more
proposed
policies
that
come
out
of
this
work.
I
think
our
purpose
was
to
kind
of
hear
from
our
you
and
our
other
task
force
members
about
what
you
would
like
us
to
see.
K
E
I
I
want
us
to
thank
this
to
my
council,
colleagues
and
and
to
staff.
We
keep
saying
that
we
need
to
go
to
raleigh.
While
we
recognize
that
there
is
a
need
for
legislative
change
to
long-term
solutions,
we
have
to
again
continue
to
acknowledge
that
we
are
here
for
immediate
solutions
for
pandemic
response.
E
E
Are
we
doing
and
and
if
not,
how
do
we
go
to
the
executive
branch,
I.e,
governor
cooper
and
say
these
are
the
things
that
our
community
needs
because
we're
they're
changing
rules
and
flipping
stuff
at
the
march
of
a
dime
based
on
lobbying
from
communities
and
local
localities,
municipalities
saying
this
is
needed
and
if
they
don't
hear
that
they're
not
going
to
consider
that
so
are
we
doing
that?
If
not,
how
do
we
go
and
do
that
in
a
different
part
of
raleigh.
B
I
don't
think
we
are
doing
that.
That's
certainly
a
a
path
that
we
can
take.
That's
a
path
with
a
lot
of
mountains
and
valleys,
but
certainly
I
think
we
can
we
can.
We
can
ask
that
question,
I'm
willing
to
have
a
conversation
with
kevin
monroe
to
talk
about.
How
do
we
take
that
path
and
what
what
would
it
look
like?
E
And
I
would,
I
would
wonder
if
there
needs
to
be
larger,
full
council
decision
making
on
this,
because
I
mean
this:
is
we
don't
have
an
executive
executive
order
agenda
or
anything
like
that?
This
is
about
making
phone
calls
and
doing
the
work.
To
say:
hey
is
this
something
that
we
need,
for
instance,
source
of
income
discrimination?
B
Certainly
that's
one
route,
but
my
experience
tells
me
that
that
the
governor
office
would
want
to
hear
from
the
mayor
and
the
council
on
this
as
well,
but
certainly
any
individual
council
member
can
make
any
requests
that
he
or
she
wants
from
the
executive
branch.
But
I
think
a
more
uniform
front
with
the
stamp
of
the
mirror
may
get
it
on
his
desk.
F
Thank
you
very
much
I'll
I'll.
Try
to
keep
this
brief.
As
as
I
listen
to
the
recommendations-
and
let
me
talk,
commissioner
lindsay-
I
really
appreciate
the
amount
of
tremendous
amount
of
time
and
work
that
you've
put
into
these
issues.
The
passion
you
bring
to
them
there's
a
lot
there
and
I
think,
all
of
it
important
to
discuss.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
first
and
foremost,
so
that's
one
I
I
have.
F
I
have
an
overall
general
thought
or
or
comment
because
it
relates
to
as
I
as
I
listened
to
the
recommendations,
and
we
got
some
of
the
briefing
material
last
night
and
I
started
to
review
it.
There
was
many
questions
that
came
up
kind
of
practical
questions
about
how
certain
things
would
work.
So
a
little
bit
of
my
arching
overarching
comment
would
be.
I
don't
know
that
I'd
be
comfortable
recommending
everything
that
we
were
just
asked
to
recommend
today.
F
I
don't
know
that
we
need
to
do
that,
but
I
think
these
are
worthy
items
to
be
addressed
by
the
great
neighborhoods
committee,
but
I
don't
know
that
I'd
be
prepared
to
say
I,
as
a
committ
member
of
this
commission
am
recommending
we
adopt
everything
in
there
I'll
give
you
just
one
or
two
examples
related
to
re-entry
housing.
I
think
a
word
a
very
worthy
thing
that
we're
working
on
we've
spent
a
lot
over
the
last
years.
F
We've
spent
a
lot
of
time
revising
our
as
an
actual
landlord,
our
tenant
selection
criteria
based
on
the
hud,
fair
housing
guidance,
and
we
feel
like
we
comply
with
that.
I
don't
know
enough
to
know
whether
what
we're
being
asked
to
do
today
is
different
from
that
is
more
than
that,
I'm
not
saying
any
of
it's
wrong
or,
but
I
don't
think
we
know
the
practical
implications
I
think
at
a
very
at
a
very
specific
level,
the
idea
of
checking
criminal
last
instead
of
earlier
in
the
process.
F
I
don't
think
philosophically
I
have
a
problem
with
it.
I
don't
know
what
the
implications
are
just
day
to
day
with
with
property.
Those
are
things
that
I
would
like
to
study,
or
at
least
get
some
feedback
on
and
I'll
jump
around
a
little
bit
to
say
just
another
practical
conversation
was.
There
was
a
recommendation
that
the
changes
to
how
we
do
re-entry
housing
be
different
for
folks
that
are
getting
city
funding
versus
folks
that
are
not.
I
can
tell
you
the
number
one
thing
when
we
try
to
rezone
for
affordable
housing.
F
The
number
one
question
every
single
time
is
about
criminal
backgrounds
and
what
we're
able
to
do
is
say
that
we
follow
f,
hud,
fair
housing
guidelines.
I
think,
if
we
had
to
say
we
have
to
do
something
different
than
a
non-city
funded
project,
it
would
be
a
it
could
potentially
be
a
bat
that
could
be
used
to
try
to
strike
down
affordable
housing.
Again,
I
don't
say
I'm
not
saying
that's
a
reason
not
to
do
it.
I
just
think
it
deserves
some
discussion
and
then
the
last
example
I'll
give
is
on
another
topic.
F
A
couple
of
mr
lindsay's,
commissioner
lindsay's
recommendations
were
around
a
separate
set
of
funding
sources
for
smaller
projects
and
and
related
to
accessory
dwelling
units.
Again,
I
think
those
are
things
that
we
should
should
be
studied,
but
I
don't.
I
would
hope
that
the
the
standards
for
how
you
get
city
funding
would
be
the
same,
who
you're
serving
what
amis
you're
serving
that
you're,
not
just
saying
we're
gonna
fund
a
certain
type
of
development
if
it
doesn't
serve
sixty
percent
or
thirty
percent
ami.
So
it's
just
you
know.
F
Traditionally,
in
the
last
several
years,
the
city
has
not
been
willing
to
put
money
into
into
funding
projects
that
are
only
at
80
percent
ami.
They
want
to
see
30s
in
every
development.
If
you're
setting
aside
fundings
for
a
specific
type
of
development,
do
those
does
that
money
still
have
to
comply
with
that
requirement
again.
These
are
all
questions.
I'm
not.
None
of
them
are
saying
I'm
against
everything
in
here,
but,
I
think
to
to
say
I
would
vote
to
recommend
everything
that
we
just
heard.
F
What
I
would
recommend
is
that
we
refer
all
of
these
issues
and
all
of
these
proposals
to
the
great
neighborhoods
committees
for
additional
consideration,
so
they
could
make
a
recommendation
to
city
council
and
then
we
can
weigh
in.
Obviously
we
would
weigh
in
with
with
with
city
staff,
with
with
commissioners
that
are
on
that
committee,
as
we
learn
more
about
them.
So
it's
kind
of
I
know
I
rambled
a
little
bit,
but
that's
kind
of
my
reaction.
B
Lee
thank
you
very
much
for
those
comments.
I
and
I
I
think
that
mr
lindsey
I'm
not
going
to
speak
for
him,
but
certainly
that
we
can
change
the
wording
from
recommendation
to
consideration,
because
that's
exactly
what
it
will
be
once
the
once,
the
the
the
recommendations
are
forwarded
to
the
great
name
of
his
committee.
They
will
be
considered.
Council
has
the
prerogative
to
accept,
reject
any
or
all
of
it,
and
so
there
will
be
a
federal
examination
of
it.
B
Mr
lindsay
recommendations
are
very
specific
in
some
natures
and
that
there's
still
a
lot
more
work
around
them
to
analyze
the
consequences
and
the
unattended
consequences
of
some
of
their
recommendations.
So,
mr
lindsey,
are
you
amenable
to
changing
that
wording
from
recommendation
to
consideration,
which
I
think
would
satisfy
mr
lee.
J
Yeah,
so
let
me
just
clarify
my
motion
was
that
we
recommend
that
this
committee
recommend
these
or
that
we
move
these
recommendations
be
directed
to
the
great
neighborhood
committee.
So
we're
not
I'm
not
saying
that
we're
seeking
approval
of
anything,
and
I'm
saying
we
need
to
move
these
over
to
great
neighborhoods,
so
so
we're
in
agreement
and,
however,
you
want
to
wordsmith.
That
is
fine
with
me,
because
the
goal
is
this
needs
to
go
to
great
neighborhoods
committee.
J
They
need
to
be
able
to
review
these
things
and
take
whatever
action
is
appropriate.
I'm
asking
for
them
to
take
action,
though
that's
my
recommendation.
That's
my
request
is
that
they
take
action
and
let
me
address
both
of
the
questions
that
lee
raised,
which
are
very
good
questions.
First,
on
the
re-entry
housing
piece,
especially
with
respect
to
the
development
projects
right
so
currently,
north
carolina
housing,
finance
agency
does
have
a
very
specific
set
of
rules
around
how
you
review
and
approve
tenants
with
with
criminal
backgrounds.
J
So
if
you're
using
litec
dollars,
you
you
already
are
subscribing
to
the
policy.
That
policy
is
the
foundation
for
the
recommendations
that
at
re-entry
housing
alliance
has
put
forward
today,
so
not
not
new
stuff.
This
is
saying
that
we
need
to
broadly
apply
this,
that's
already
being
you're
kind
of
already
subscribing
to
it.
If
you're
doing
these
live
tech,
deals
or
low
income,
housing
tax
credit
deals.
J
J
In
that
I
acknowledge
the
notion
that
we
have
a
whole
list
continuum
of
housing
approach
and
how
charlotte
is
one
of
those
components
where
we
are
able
to
satisfy
housing
at
110
for
home
ownership.
And
so
we
need
to
look
at.
How
do
we
take
that
tool
and
utilize
it
to
help
increase
availability
and
access
to
units
for
below
110
or
that
80
and
below?
J
So
we
need
to
utilize
all
these
programs
in
a
way
that
ultimately
increases
the
supply
of
home
ownership,
housing
down
to
60
and
also
increase
the
supply
of
rental
housing
from
60
and
below.
Although
we
know
that
the
60
folks
do
have
more
options
and
the
real
challenges
at
50
percent
starting
50,
but
still
we
need
to
target
that
60
below.
So
all
that's
in
the
material.
I
don't
this
opportunity
to
hope
for
the
great
neighborhood
committee
and
find
that
opportunity.
B
E
E
Those
many
of
those
rules,
those
federal
rules
that
are
steeped
in
white
supremacy
and
structural
racism
that
have
kept
people
in
it,
put
people
in
a
situation
where
they
are
more
subject
to
to
this
virus
because
of
they
they
have
because
of
source
of
income
discrimination,
or
they
have
been
incarcerated
at
some
point
in
time.
So
I
would
say
we
need
to
make
recommendations
if
developers
want
to
sue
us
based
on
whatever
rules
of
housing.
Urban
development
during.
E
Right
now,
not
10
years
from
now.
But
right
now,
and
I
hope
that
we
keep
that
in
mind,
as
we
are
deciding
the
vernacular
that
we're
putting
out
here
and
the
decisions
and
the
the
degree
of
boldness
that
we
are
willing
to
to
to
take
in
the
decisions
that
we
make.
So
they
need
to
be
recommendations.
They
need
to
be
bold
and
they
need
to
make
people
uncomfortable,
especially
those
that
have
not
been
present
in
the
solutions
that
we
need
in
our
city.
B
N
N
So
it's
not
something
that's
new
at
all
and
there's
something
that
you
can
look
to
to
study
for
some
backdrop,
but
people
like
myself
who
come
home
from
doing
13
years
of
incarceration
and
have
to
and
also
who,
as
a
paraplegic,
if,
if
but
for
the
great,
I
would
not
be
where
I
am
right
now
and
that's
why
I
champion
the
causes
that
I
do.
Thank
you
all
right.
B
So
I
think
we're
ready
to
call
the
question
on
accepting
the
recommendations.
I
thank
the
and
they
will
be
forwarded
to
the
great
neighborhoods
committee.
Again,
these
are
recommendations
for
consideration
for
implementation
and
obviously
the
the
committee
will
do
the
necessary
due
diligence,
along
with
our
staff,
to
bring
forth
individuals
of
that
that
are
ready
to
move
forward
with
lee
I'll.
Give
you
the
last
word
and
then
we'll
we'll
call
the
call
the
question
right.
F
Yep
I
appreciate
that
it
will
be
a
quick
word.
I
I
just.
I
need
to
clarify
that
one
that
both
that,
in
my
work
at
laurel
street
and
previously
the
housing
partnership,
we've
worked
with
many
groups
and
done
many
programs
for
folks
that
are
re-entering
society
to
get
into
housing.
So
I
don't
I
don't.
I
hope
I
don't
come
to
poster
boy
for
being
opposed
to
this,
because
that
was
not
in
any
way.
F
My
intent,
my
step,
my
simple
request
or
comment
was
I've,
seen
the
language,
the
specific
language
and
not
just
the
thing
around
reentry,
but
even
recommendations
around
small
housing
and
adus
yet
for
a
day,
and
so
to
say
that
I
support
everything
in
there
without
that.
I
think
that
was
where
I
felt
uncomfortable
so,
but
I
don't
want
you
to
feel
that
I
was
against
concept
against
the
concept
at
all.
I
feel
like
I've.
Really.
My
entire
career
has
been
about
housing,
those
that
are
that
are
not
typically
housed.
B
D
F
B
H
B
D
A
B
B
K
Sure
I
was
quickly
introduced
the
next
topic.
This
goes
back
to
last
committee
meeting
where
we
were
quickly
running
out
of
time,
but
we
also
know
to
mr
winston's
comments.
We
are
in
the
midst
of
a
pandemic,
and
so
we
did
not
want
to
close
out
this
work
without
at
least
having
a
discussion
around
homelessness
and
supportive
services.
K
I
would
commend
ms
metz
mismet
and
our
colleagues
from
the
united
way
they've
done
great
work
to
bring
forward
some
recommendations
for
discussion
and
consideration
to
be
moved
on
in
the
same
way
that
you
just
did
with
with
task
four.
So
without
further
ado,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
miss
metz
and
again
thank
her
for
her
continued
work
on
this
to
walk
through
this
task.
Five
recommendations:
miss
metz.
G
Okay
well
good
afternoon,
councilman,
graham
and
other
members
of
the
city
council
being
mindful
of
the
time
I'm
gonna
move
through
quickly.
So
if
I
miss
some
points,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me.
So
a
next
slide
pretty
much.
You
all
know
that
a
lot
of
our
tasks
were
around
working
with
our
mecklenburg
county
continuum
of
care
to
be
able
to
address
the
citizens
of
our
community
that
are
homeless
next
slide.
G
So
just
some
important
principles
I
want
to
hit
on
you
know.
We
are
very
fortunate
in
this
community
to
have
such
experienced
partners
with
working
with
homelessness.
We've
moved
toward
assistance
approach.
We've
shown
that,
while
coordinating
entry,
one
of
the
good
things,
one
of
the
positive
things
about
assistance
approach
is
to
avoid
duplications,
and
so
we
have
lots
of
wrap-around
services
to
offer
those
that
are
homeless,
so
not
just
shelter
and
housing,
but
also
wrap
around
services.
G
So
so
here's
our
recommendation,
so
we've
been
partnering
with
mecklenburg
county
continuum
of
care
united,
where
the
central
carolinas.
This
new
partnership
will
increase
the
include
of
the
salvation
army
center
of
hope.
Social
serve,
roof
above
roof
above
is
forming
within
shelter
and
urban
ministries,
the
relatives,
supportive
housing
and
communities
and
community
link,
and
our
goal
is
to
serve
individuals
and
families
in
this
community
that
are
sheltered
and
unsheltered,
which
would
include
some
of
our
community,
our
citizens
that
are
living
in
tents.
G
So
we
really
want
to
be
able
to
focus
on
those
families,
because
at
this
point
we
really
don't
have
a
capacity
in
our
shelter
system
for
those
families
to
float
in
next
slide.
Please
so,
just
to
give
you
a
little
bit
more
detail
in
this
recommendation,
the
united
way
of
central
carolinas
will
serve
as
a
lead
agency
and
applicant,
so
they'll
provide
financial
oversight.
Accountability
for
funded
administration
social
serve
will
provide
the
housing
navigation
services
and
landlord
recruitment
they'll
be
doing
the
upfront.
Housing
calls
the
room
assistance.
G
This
is
really
critical
because
they
have
a
capacity
to
work
with
landlords
and
also
to
be
able
to
get
chuck's
checks,
cut
and
sent
out
in
a
quick
way.
United
way
will
partner
with
roof
above
salvation
army,
and
if
you
can
move
to
the
next
slide,
please
community
link
supportive
housing
and
community.
So
here
you
have
all
of
our
housing
agencies
working
together
with
united
way,
working
together
with
social,
serve,
to
create
a
systems
approach
to
how
we
will
work
with
homelessness.
G
G
So
we
have
a
tool
already
in
place
and
we'll
be
using
that
to
make
sure
that
we
use
those
use
that
funding
for
those
that
need
it.
The
most
because
of
the
population
requires
more
intensive
care
will
also
be
our
case.
Management
in
case
lows
will
be
small,
so
we'll
be
able
to
continue
to
work
with
those
families
to
address
some
of
the
ongoing
needs
and
next
slide
please.
G
Four
hundred
and
twenty
seven
dollars
six
hundred
and
forty
six
forty
cents,
and
so
you
can
see
the
breakdown
of
staffing,
the
rural
assistance,
admin
costs
and
then
there
you
have
a
total,
and
that
is
my
presentation.
I
know
I
went
through
it
quickly,
just
been
mindful
of
the
time
and
if
anybody
have
any
questions
I'll
be
happy
to
answer.
B
J
Yes,
thanks
councilman,
graham,
thank
you
very
much,
ms
smith.
This
is
outstanding
and
a
great
example
of
what
I
think
needs
to
happen.
My
question:
is
you
know
how
far
does
this
funding
get
us?
Well,
once
we
get
past
this
initial
stage,
we
we
know
that
we're
still
going
to
have
a
growing
problem
beyond
what
we
currently
have
and
while
we'll
be
able
to
address
you
know
some
250
families
right
now.
Perhaps
you
know
what?
How
far
does
this
get
us?
Basically,.
G
E
Yes,
well
definitely
a
great
programmatic
response
that
will
be
impactful
to
some,
but
you
know,
as
we
talked
about
from
the
very
beginning,
we
we
have
thousands
of
homeless
families
and-
and
we
need
a
policy
driven
approach
that
that
has
bold
action
towards
towards
finding
solutions.
For
that
we
talked
about
the
ideas
of
you
know:
how
do
we
really
increase
supportive
and
transitional
housing?
Are
there?
Are
there
spaces
that
can
be
repurposed
had?
Has
there
been?
Is
there
any
conversation?
K
K
You
guys
get
an
annual
allocation
of
esg
dollars
where
we
will
always
work
with
the
partners
that
mis
mets
reference
partners
like
salvation
army
roof,
roof
above
community
link
to
continue
to
address
our
our
housing
needs
I'll
recall
the
work
that
you
did
in
your
initial
contribution
to
a
roof
above
for
the
work
they're
doing
to
get
another
supportive
housing
facility
up
and
running
in
the
community.
So
we
will
continue
to
evaluate
our
policies.
K
Policies
like
you
have
with
your
trust
fund,
where
twenty
percent
of
the
units
have
to
be
for
thirty
percent
and
below.
So
we
would
continue
to
evaluate
our
policies.
I
concur
that
this
just
from
a
staff
perspective,
this
is
a
unique
approach,
a
systemic
approach
and,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
do
more
of
this,
that
will
continue
to
help
us
long
answer
to
your
question
that
there's
some
existing
policy
around
your
trust
fund.
G
And
I'd
like
to
just
add,
with
our
mecklenburg
county,
continuing
care,
we've
created
a
framework
group,
so
we're
also
looking
at
policies
working
with
the
national
alliance,
around
advocacy
for
a
second
round
of
cares,
act
funding
to
be
able
to
address
homelessness
in
a
larger
way.
But
it
definitely
is
a
is
a
huge
issue
and
I'm
hoping
that
all
this,
although
this
task
force,
is
ending
that
we'll
continue
to
work
together
to
find
solutions
for
the
homeless
that
are
in
our
community.
H
It's
more
of
a
statement,
I'm
glad
that
we're
spending
some
time
talking
about
this
today,
because
this
is
what
I'm
most
concerned
about
going
forward.
We
we're
in
many
ways
we're
just
at
the
beginning
of
this
crisis
and
the
homelessness
crisis
I
think,
is
going
to
be
much
worse
than
we
can
imagine
now,
particularly
because
I'm
not
hopeful
that
the
help
from
the
federal
level
will
come
to
the
extent
that
we
need
to
provide
additional
mental
assistance
going
forward.
H
K
K
It
will
look
different
for
for
for
each
household
each
individual,
so
I
would
always
remind
us,
from
a
staff
perspective
that
we
need
to
marry
our
housing
work
with
our
workforce
development
work
too
around
how
we're
providing
help
to
people
to
to
to
get
jobs
and
from
an
economic
development
perspective
as
well.
So
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
thought
on
the
table.
J
Lindsay
I
I
really
appreciate
what
pam
just
said,
because
that
that's
the
point
I
was
gonna
make
is
that
you
know
what
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
emergency
room
triage
and
we're
continuing
to
have
this
fight.
Unfortunately,
I
think
miss
metz
and
that
whole
group
lives
in
the
emergency
room,
and
so
what
we
have
focused
on,
in
my
mind,
are
those
structural
changes
that
we
can
make
to
help
reduce
the
amount
of
need
that
exists
in
the
community.
J
So
you
know
to
the
extent
that
we
can
make
housing
more
affordable
and
make
more
of
it
to
the
extent
that
we
can
help
people
transition
and
retool
themselves
to
become
more
productive
income
producers
for
them
for
themselves
and
their
households.
These
are
all
things
that
we
need
to
keep
working
on,
but
we
not
need,
but
we
should
not
just
focus
on
the
triage
aspect
of
it,
but
at
the
same
time
be
focused
on
long-range
kinds
of
things
that
we
should
be
doing
to
help
resolve
these
problems
before
they
occur.
J
B
I
think
your
point
is
well
taken
in
this
collaboration
again
with
the
city
and
the
county,
the
county,
providing
the
much
necessary
supportive
services
and
which
they're
doing
and
the
city
again
doing
what
we're
suggesting
to
do
providing
resources
for
three
million
dollars.
Housing
trust
fund
we're
building,
sro
housing
with
about
roof,
above
so
we're
kind
of
putting
the
long-term
shelters
in
place
so
that
it's
a
you
know,
batman
robin
type
of
scenario
in
terms
of
we're
working
with
our
economy
partners,
but
you're.
Absolutely
right.
Mr
winston
is
absolutely
right.
B
The
urgency
of
now
that
we
have
to
do
something
now.
That's
really
october
19,
but
also,
as
you
indicated,
build
a
long
road
in
terms
of
not
only
helping
resolve
the
issue
but
making
sure
that
when
the
issue
is
trying
to
be
resolved,
that
these
individuals
have
somewhere
to
go
and
that's
what
the
city
has
been
doing
for
the
last
several
years
in
terms
of
providing
resources
necessary
to
provide
the
housing
on
the
ground,
which
is
our
primary
responsibility.
B
K
I
B
Second,
all
right,
so
as
soon
as
the
the
great
neighborhoods
committee
meet
up,
we
may
meet
sometimes
mid-august.
I
would
imagine
that
would
be
agenda.
Item
number
one
to
take
up
the
the
request
for
funding
to
support
homelessness
in
our
community
I'll
have
a
roll
call
vote,
malcolm
graham,
yes,
lee.
B
H
H
J
A
B
I
E
D
B
Okay,
yeah,
I'm
sorry
guys
all
right.
So
that's
move
forward
to
the
committee.
That
will
be
our
first
action
that
we
take
as
a
committee
when
we
reconvene
under
the
family
of
the
great
members
committee
source
of
income,
discrimination
will
be
there
as
well
as
one
of
those
priority
topics
that
we
take
up,
and
so
our
work
has
been
done.
B
Let
me
lastly
say
that
I'm
so
appreciative
of
of
everyone
on
the
task
force
answering
the
call
to
serve
when
I
called
everyone
and
asked
for
their
commitment
and
their
support
to
serve
in
this
task
force
to
support
our
mission
of
working
with
families.
As
we
re
battle
cove
at
19.
Everyone
said
yes
immediately.
B
We
met
for
10
weeks
in
a
row
and
did
some
outstanding
work.
We
took
a
short
break
and
came
back
and
got
right
back
to
it,
so
I
just
really
appreciate
everyone
for
their
time,
their
commitment,
their
sense
of
duty
to
support
the
community
and,
as
a
result
of
your
service,
I
have
some
parting
gifts
for
everyone,
so
you'll
be
receiving
a
portfolio
in
the
mail.
B
Again,
that's
a
small
token
of
our
appreciation,
the
staff.
Ms
weidman,
the
mayor
and
others
for
your
participation
on
the
on
the
task
force.
We
also
have
an
internal
document
that
we're
working
with
that.
We
captured
every
recommendation
that
you
made
that
will
be
forwarding
to
the
committee
for
consideration.
B
It
really
does
help
me
in
the
in
the
great
men,
his
committee
part
of
the
charge
that
the
mayor
has
given
us,
which,
which
was
to
help
rewrite
rework
analyze
a
housing
framework.
So
much
of
the
work
that
you've
done
really
gives
us
a
really
good
head
start
to
accomplishing
that
goal.
So
we
thank
you
for
it
when
the
committee
reconvenes,
in
a
top
topic
that
we'll
be
meeting
on
approaches,
things
that
we've
discussed
here
I'll,
make
sure
that
we
give
you
guys
a
fyi.
B
If
you
like
to
join
us
and
kind
of
watch
the
proceedings
and,
at
the
appropriate
time,
even
comment
as
a
member
of
the
public.
We
would
welcome
that
as
well.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
mayor,
ms
whiteman
and
everyone
in
native
development,
we
really
appreciate
your
support
and
your
work.
Ms
weidman
I'll
give
you
any
last
word
if
you
have
any
as
well.
