Description
You are watching the Charlotte City Council Community Recovery Task Force Committee Meeting (Housing) from Thursday, April 23rd. Thanks for watching.
To learn more about this committee and more, please visit Charlottenc.gov/citycouncil/committees.
A
Feature
today
is
our
first
meeting
of
the
housing
task
force,
and
our
purpose
today
is
to
one
level
set
orientate
our
community
and
our
task
force
members
and
to
frame
our
task
force
objectives
and
how
we
move
forward.
As
a
committee
and
as
a
community.
The
first
thing
I
would
like
to
do
is
just
kind
of
do
some
housekeeping
exercise
so
that
we
all
have
the
same
information
on
the
community
and
that
we're
moving
and
learning
from
the
same
starting
point.
A
A
We
move
forward.
Let
me
also
pause
to
say
at
this
time
there
will
be
public
input
for
the
task
force.
We
will
have
public
hearings
typical
as
how
the
council
has
done
it
before
in
terms
of
three
minutes
per
public
speaker
at
the
appropriate
time.
We
also
will
have
public
testimonies
we'll
be
able
to
give
citizens
stakeholders
advocates
in
the
community
to
come
before
the
task
force
to
prevent
to
present
on
the
right
variety
of
topics.
A
As
we
begin
to
reach
decision-making
metrics
and
also,
we
will
have
social
and
website
media
interaction
between
the
task
force,
members
and
the
public,
so
there
will
be
a
number
of
opportunities
for
public
input.
We
definitely
want
to
hear
from
the
public
in
terms
of
where
we
stand
in
terms
of
post
covett
recovery,
housing
challenges
next
slide.
Please.
A
These
are
the
issues
that
are
most
important
and
top
of
mind
with
all
the
community
members
advocates
in
our
community.
What
happens
once
we
get
beyond
kovat
19,
payment
of
rent
mortgages
and
utilities,
foreclosures
and
evictions
relationship
management
between
landlords,
property
owners
and
tenants,
tenants
rights,
the
ending
of
judicial
and
legislative
moratoriums?
A
What
happens
if
there's
a
second
wave
of
kovat
19
in
the
winter
of
2020,
relating
to
housing
and
homelessness,
which
is
a
county
function,
but
the
city
also
is
concerned
about
our
homeless
population.
These
are
the
the
number
of
concerns,
the
challenges
that
we
believe
will
be
confronting
the
community
as
we
move
forward
now
and
in
the
future,
and
this
will
be
the
starting
point
for
the
task
force
in
terms
of
understanding
where
we
are
today
and
planning
long
or
long
term
strategies
for
tomorrow
next
slide,
please.
A
A
Evictions,
the
house
Charlotte
downpayment
assistant
program,
rental
assistance,
emergency
solution,
grant
funding,
source
of
income
discrimination,
housing,
real
with
rehabilitation
program,
the
Housing,
Choice
vouchers,
affordable
housing,
areas
of
high
opportunity
and
any
national
models
out
there.
So
there
are
other
potential
topics
that
we'll
be
looking
at.
This
is
not
in
an
exhaustive
list.
We
can
add
more
to
it,
but
these
are
the
top
of
mind.
Potential
topics
that
the
task
force
in
addition
to
the
kovat
19
post
issues
that
we'll
be
taking
a
look
at
to
also
level-set
we've.
A
The
pre
rates
were
basically
the
kovat
19
response,
friends
from
the
United
Way,
which
we'll
be
talking
about
later
in
the
meeting
a
great
article
from
WF
AE,
the
governor's
executive
order,
long-term
occupants
and
hotels
and
brooming
and
housing,
as
well
as
the
number
of
other
reading
materials
that
the
task
force
members
receive
in
their
pocket
their
package
prior
to
the
beating
you
see,
then
you
screen
them.
So
there
are
a
number
of
background
material
that
we,
as
the
committee
has
been
studying
prior
to
our
task
force
meeting
today.
A
A
The
community
is
fortunate
to
have
seven
task
force
members
who
represent
the
community,
who
represent
a
cross-section
of
community
members,
impacting
housing
solution
and
strategies
they
have
volunteered
the
times.
I
want
to
thank
them
personally
at
this
time
for
their
dedication
to
working
on
this
issue
with
us
and
we're
going
to
ask
them
to
introduce
themselves,
starting
with
our
council
members
who
are
on
the
with
us
today,
task
force
members
and
then
our
support
staff.
E
H
I
A
Again,
thank
everyone
for
being
a
part
of
the
task
force
for
volunteering,
your
time
and
service.
You
have
the
agenda
in
front
of
you,
so
we're
going
to
get
right
into
it,
and
the
first
on
the
agenda
is
to
the
review
the
housing
framework
and
our
hope
at
19.
Housing
programs
for
the
City
of
Charlotte
I
turn
the
program
over
to
housing,
director
Pamela,
Wagner,
Thank.
K
You
councilmember,
Graham
and
good
afternoon,
and
welcome
to
everybody,
and
allow
me
to
add
my
thanks
to
you
all
for
volunteering,
your
time
as
we
work
through
this.
Let
me
just
do
a
few
introductory
comments
and
say
just
remind
people
that
this
will
be
review
for
some
of
the
council
members,
particularly
and
some
of
the
task
force
members,
and
it
will
be
new
information
to
some
so
just
bear
with
me
as
we
go
through
it.
K
I
would
also
add
that,
just
as
a
point
of
information
that
a
lot
of
great
work
has
gone
on
in
this
community
and
has
been
done
by
this
community
over
the
years
related
to
affordable
housing,
this
framework
that
I'm
gonna
go
over
is
actually
built
on
some
of
that
great
work
and
I'll
just
remind
us.
It's
built
on
a
2016
study
that
was
done
by
the
Urban
Land
Institute.
K
It
is
also
built
on
some
of
the
recommendations
that
came
out
of
the
leading
on
opportunity
framework,
some
work
that
was
done
by
a
group
of
business
leaders
who
call
themselves
the
Evergreen
work,
and
then
we
have
the
housing
frame
framework,
so
I'll
just
go
through
it
briefly
with
you
all.
The
housing
framework
is
its
sorted
by
three
core
considerations
and
basically
those
were
two
and
Wendy
if
you'll
go
to
the
next
slide.
For
me,
please,
thank
you.
K
The
three
core
considerations
were
increasing
capacity
to
serve
low-income
households
with
a
focus
on
households
earning
we
talked
about
80
percent,
but
primarily
sixty
percent
of
households
earning
sixty
percent
and
below
the
area
median
income.
We
talked
about
also
serving
residents
who
are
vulnerable
to
housing
displacement,
and
then
we
wanted
to
have
also
recognized
using
housing
to
build
and
expand
access
to
opportunity
across
our
city.
Next
slide,
please
to
drill
down
a
little
bit
more.
K
The
housing
framework
is
built
on
three
principles
if
you
will
or
three
pillars:
expanding
the
supply
of
rental
and
owner-occupied
housing
again,
particularly
for
those
folks
earning
sixty
percent
below
the
area
median
income.
So
that
means
continuing
to
build
new
housing
to
fill
the
gap
that
we
have
in
this
community.
We
also
know
that
we
will
never
build
our
way
out
of
the
affordable
housing
crisis,
and
so
it's
also
important
to
preserve
affordability,
preserving
existing,
affordable
housing
units.
K
We
also
know
that
existing
affordable
housing,
also
known
as
naturally
occurring,
affordable
housing,
that
is
the
largest
supply
of
affordable
housing
that
we
have
in
this
city,
and
then
we
also
know
that
housing
alone
is
not
enough,
that
we
have
to
also
work
across
the
community
and
support
our
partners
who
are
doing
things
around
family
self-sufficiency.
So
it's
about
helping
people
sustain
housing
once
they
obtain
housing
could
go
to
the
next
slide.
For
me,
at
the
time
we
did
this.
K
This
was
in
during
2017
and
2018,
so
just
want
to
talk
about
kind
of
what
the
existing
housing
conditions
were
at
that
time
and
kind
of
what
we
saw
as
a
future.
Housing
would
be
when
we
were
doing
that.
Let
me
say
that
this
work
was
done
based
on
data.
It
was
data-driven
and
kind
of,
as
we
did
the
work.
Six
key
themes
or
trends
emerged
if
you'll
go
to
the
next
slide.
K
We
talked
about
the
increase
in
housing,
cost
had
outpaced
the
increase
in
household
income,
so
housing
costs
were
up,
income
or
earnings
were
either
stagnant
or
decreasing
at
the
time,
and
so
what
that
means
was,
and
what
that
meant
at
the
time
is
that
many
people
were
paying
too
much
of
their
income
for
their
current
home
and
we'd
like
to
look
at
as
an
industry
standard.
You
shouldn't
be
paying
more
than
thirty
percent
of
your
annual
income
for
your
housing
expenses.
K
We
also
acknowledge
that
the
City
of
Charlotte
and
its
partners
has
made
significant
investments
in
affordable
housing,
but
we
still
don't
have
enough,
and
so
we
have
to
continue
to
make
investments.
Charlotte's
has
a
strong
residential
market
and
because
of
that
strong
residential
market
homeownership,
particularly
folks
of
low
and
moderate
income
or
lower
income
households
was,
is
a
challenge
to
obtain,
as
I
said
before,
most
of
Charlotte's,
affordable
housing.
Rental
options
are
what's
known
as
naturally
occurring,
meaning
that
they
are
not
subsidized.
K
K
As
a
result
of
this,
many
people
are
making
trade-offs
between
where
we're
living
in
areas
with
access
to
jobs
or
goods
and
and
access
to
to
strong
schools
and
other
other
key
amenities,
and
then
we
also
acknowledge
that
Charlotte
is
a
city
where
many
people
want
to
grow
go,
and
so,
therefore,
we
acknowledge
that
Charlotte
is
growing
and
that
particularly
the
senior
population
is
growing,
and
so
based
on
that,
we
out
of
this
year's
worth
of
work.
There
were
some
Crees
key
strategies
that
emerged:
I'm,
not
gonna,
go
through
every
one
of
the
key
strategies.
K
What
I'll
do
is
I'll
point
to
some
of
the
ones
that
that
were
being
implemented
and
that
we
have
implemented
since,
since
this
framework
is
approved,
this
is
by
no
means
to
say
we're
done.
This
is
really
just
again
levels
set
and
show
you
kind
of
what
some
of
the
tools
that
we
having
a
toolbox
that
we
can
build
upon
through
this
work.
I
would
also
just
remind
us
that
this
work
requires
many
community
partners
again.
K
We've
also
done
things
with
our
federal
partners
in
terms
of
leveraging.
Our
section
108
loan
funds-
many
of
you
all-
are
familiar
with
bright,
walk
the
bright
walk
community
that
is
done
through
the
leveraging
of
section
of
section
108
loan.
We
revised
the
housing
locational
policy
again
many
thanks
to
all
of
the
community
participants
in
that
policy
and
we're
using
that
tool.
Today,
as
we
evaluate
developments,
we
are
also
I'll
remind
us
that
we
don't
have
a
tool.
That's
called
mandatory,
inclusionary
zoning.
K
However,
we
are
seeing
some
mixed
income
housing
gained
through
the
rezoning
process
where
developers
are
including
that,
in
their
developments,
we
are
doing
the
helping
developers
acquire
again
naturally-occurring,
affordable
housing
through
some
acquisition
funds
that
we
have
and
then
the
City
Council
has
also
used
publicly
owned
land
to
further
the
development
of
affordable
housing.
Again,
that's
not
every
strategy
just
pointing
to
some
of
the
ones
that
we
were
doing
and
that
we
have
adopted
since
the
use
of
this
framework.
If
you
would
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
on
this
slide.
This
is
still
around.
K
This
is
particularly
around
expanding
home
ownership.
We've
leveraged
a
couple
of
opportunities
to
develop
and
create
homeownership
low-income
homeownership
on
some
infill
sites.
We
continue
to
support
our
municipal
employees
there
and
encourage
their
participation
in
the
city's
house,
Charlotte
downpayment
assistance
program
and
then
also
a
new
program
that
we've
gained
through
the
Federal
Home
Loan
Bank.
K
It's
for
community
heroes,
particularly
firefighters
police
officers
and
some
teachers
in
our
community
and
again
it's
not
just
about
obtaining
rental,
affordable
housing,
but
we
also
really
understand
and
encourage
the
focus
on
homeownership
as
well,
and
so
that
is
done
through
these.
These
two
programs.
K
We
also
have
been
in
conversations
with
the
the
West
Charlotte
Community
Land
Trust,
and
looking
forward
to
continuing
those
conversations
with
them
as
well.
So
Land
Trust,
that's
a
that's
a
new
tool
that
we're
incorporating
into
our
framework.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
please
one
of
the
things
that
we
heard
from
the
community
really
loud
and
clear.
Again
again,
as
mr.
Graham
alluded
to
earlier,
homelessness
is
the
county's
doing
great
work
there,
but
we
also
the
city's
doing
work
as
well,
and
particularly
we
we
work
with
developers.
K
So
we're
really
pleased
to
be
we
heard
from
the
community,
and
so
that's
being
done
and
the
other
thing
that
we
heard
from
the
community-
and
we
were
very
appreciative
of
the
partnership
within
live
Ian's,
where
they
are
allocating
vouchers
to
some
of
our
developments
that
receive
funds
through
the
housing
trust
fund
that
are
in
areas
of
high
opportunity
and
then,
if
I
could
go
on
to
family
self-sufficiency.
Again,
we
said
a
lot
that
this
is
a
lot
about
once
people
obtaining
affordable
housing,
helping
them
sustain
that
and
so
one
of
the
programs.
K
One
of
the
things
that
we
have
done
in
recent
years
is
formalized
our
targeted
rehab
program,
and
so
that
program
is
we're
working.
We've
currently
done
working
for
neighborhoods,
and
so
we
do
that
work.
We
help
it
particularly
elderly
populations,
and
we-
and
these
are
in
areas
that
are
either
gentrifying
or
prone
to
gentrification.
We
go
in
and
we
do
deferred
maintenance
through
our
single-family
rehab
program.
K
Again,
I
didn't
go
through
all
of
these,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
again
highlight
some
of
the
things
that
we
were
doing
and
what
we've
started
doing
as
a
result
of
this
framework.
While
we
were
going
through
this
framework,
there
were
kind
of
five
potential
priority
financial
tools
that
was
recommended
that
we
embraced
pretty
quickly
and
if
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
I'll
talk
about
these
just
a
little
bit
one
more
slide.
For
me,
this
I
talked
about
an
equity
fund
and
we
are
pleased
to
have
liske
in
our
community
list.
K
Is
our
we
partner
with
them?
The
thanks
to
the
foundation
and
other
philanthropic
folks
in
our
community
50
million,
more
than
50
million,
was
raised
to
support
the
city's
50
million
housing
trust
fund,
and
so
liske
is
managing
that
equity
fund
and
we
are
partnering
with
them
on
all
of
our
housing,
trust,
fund
development
and
that's
really
important,
because
what
that
allows
us
to
do
is
that
allows
us
to
leverage
our
Housing
Trust
Fund
dollars
and
so
that
they
go
further
and
that
we
create
more
units
in
the
community.
K
I
talked
about
the
section
108
loan
we
currently
have
one
through
the
use
of
our
federal
Community,
Development
Block,
Grant
funds
that
we
receive
annually
and
then
and
I
believe.
Last
year,
a
couple
years
ago,
the
city
manager,
the
City
Council,
put
money
in
the
budget
that
allows
us
to
acquire
on
both
single-family
and
multi-family
homes
and
again
those
are
Noah's
to
preserve
those.
The
the
preservation
and
the
acquisition
fund
are
similar.
The
acquisition
fund.
That
strategy
spoke
more
to
going
out,
acquiring
land
to
do
affordable
housing,
and
then
we
have
not.
K
We
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
tax
relief
program
for
affordable
housing,
but
more
work
needs
to
be
to
be
done
on
that,
but
those
were
of
kind
of
five
priority
financial
tools
that
were
that
were
recommended
by
the
consultant.
So
you
can
see
where
we
are
there
and
then
just
in
terms
of
summarizing.
K
We've
made
significant
process
over
the
past
decade
in
affordable
housing,
but
the
reality
is
as
this.
The
Charlotte
continues
to
grow.
Housing
is
becoming
less
affordable
execution
of
strategies.
The
city
can't
do
it
alone.
It
requires
our
intentional
collaboration
among
our
community
partners
and
then
this.
This
is
an
outline
and
it's
particularly
called
a
framework,
and
so
the
last
two
bullets
go
together.
It's
a
framework.
It
outlines
how
we
can,
how
we
can
use
our
money
and
it's
a
framework.
K
It's
a
guide
to
help
us
create
mixed
income
communities,
and
so
it's
good
that
we're
reviewing
this
to
make
sure
that
it's
still
applicable
for
for
our
community
with
that
I
will
pivot
to
mr.
Graham
also
asked
to
talk
about
the
Kovach,
19
housing
programs,
and
so
as
most
recently
as
a
result
of
kovat
the
the
City
Council
at
their
April
13th
meeting.
They
approved
some
uses
of
our
money
that
we
that
we
received
due
to
kovat.
K
So
let
me
just
slow
down
just
a
little
bit
and
talk
about
those
we
received
3.5
million
dollars
in
the
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funding
from
the
federal
government
we're
using
that
money
in
four
ways
we're
using
it,
for
we
will
be
using
it
for
mortgage
relief
for
it
for
low
to
moderate
income.
Homeowners
we'll
be
using
it
for
rent
relief,
we'll
be
using
it
for
utilities,
relief
and
then
some
security
deposits,
and
all
of
that,
the
federal
government
requires
us
to
use
those
funds
for
households
earning
eighty
percent
and
below
the
area
median
income.
K
We
also
received
a
1.7
million
in
emergency
solutions
grant
program
and
that
program
of,
as
prescribed
by
the
federal
government
must
be
used
for
those
experiencing
homelessness.
So
again,
I'll
reiterate
what
mr.
Graham
said
earlier,
while
it's
primarily
the
county
space,
the
city
does
has
not
forgotten
about
the
homeless
population
as
well,
and
then
we
received
four
hundred
and
sixteen
thousand
dollars
of
hope
funding
and
that's
funding
for
persons
living
with
AIDS
and
AIDS
and
HIV.
K
A
You
for
that
presentation
and
again
what
we
wanted
to
do
was
just
kind
of
make
sure
that
everyone
were.
We
had
a
framework
that
we
level
said
that
we
all
had
the
same
information
and
that
we
were
all
starting
from
the
same
point.
I
want
to
welcome
mrs.
council
member
Johnson
to
the
meeting
I
think
she's
with
us
now,
opening
up
for
questions
and
I
think
councilmember
Winston
has
a
question.
He
like
that.
B
The
framework-
yes,
something
that
I
have
been
lobbying
for
up
to
several
weeks
now
and
I-
do
believe
that
in
this
time-coded
we
really
need
to
give
a
critical
eye
to
our
existing
housing
framework
and
how
it
is
deployed.
It
was
made
for
a
different
time.
I
do
believe.
Our
four
considerations
remain
the
same
I
believe
our
integrated
approach
can
and
should
remain
the
same,
but
I
do
believe
that
existing
and
future
housing
conditions
have
changed.
B
J
B
B
A
J
K
I'll
introduce
Kathryn
firm
sellers.
Kathryn
is
the
chief
impact
officer
with
the
United
Way
and
we've
invited
Kathryn
to
the
meeting
today.
They've
done
great
work
as
a
result,
the
Cova
crisis
and
have
awarded
a
number
of
grants
and
I
think
they
have
more
to
come,
and
so,
at
this
time
Kathryn
I'll
invite
you
into
the
conversation
and
thank
you
for
taking
time
to
be
with
us
today.
L
L
To
let
you
know
kind
of
how
it's
being
operated,
what
we've
done
to
date,
I
know
in
the
packet.
It
had
a
list
of
the
grants
that
were
kind
of
more
housing
and
shelter
related,
but
give
you
a
broader
overview,
the
Sun
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
start
with
that.
Go
ahead
and
next
slide
next,
so
obviously
the
fun
was
created
in
response
to.
What
is
everybody
knows
this
very
unprecedented
situation.
You
know
the
shelter-in-place
order
has
dramatically
shifted
the
face
of
our
economy.
L
I
think
it
really
exposed
the
situation
of
people
who
were
living
paycheck
to
paycheck
and
how
really
close
to
the
margin
they
were,
and
this
would
tip
them
over
the
edge.
It's
also
really
challenged
and
stressed
our
nonprofit
sector,
as
with
many
businesses,
they
under
a
great
deal
of
stress,
it's
heartbreaking
to
read
the
applications
and
see
both
the
decreased
revenue
that
they
are
experiencing
as
a
result
of
campus
fundraisers
or
campus
fundraising
campaigns,
but
now
or
just
kind
of
tone-deaf
Kate's
current
environment
that
also
increased
demand
exponentially
increase
demand
at
many
places.
L
The
next
slide,
so
the
fund
is
being
jointly
managed
by
foundation
for
the
Carolinas
and
United
Way
of
Central
Carolinas,
but
it
really
does
represent
a
partnership
from
the
city,
the
county,
major
corporations
in
the
area
foundation,
houses
of
faith.
It's
a
broad
range
effort
to
fund
and
support
those
agencies.
Most
positions
to
support
both
on
the
front
lines.
They're
responding
to
the
code
is
pandemic.
L
Technically,
the
grant
is
open
to
any
nonprofit
that
meets
eligibility
criteria,
and
these
criteria
are
quite
right
quite
wide,
but
the
priority
so
far
has
been
basic
human
needs
organizations
who
have
the
capacity
and
the
capability
to
respond
on
the
front
line.
There's
also
been
a
very
deliberate
effort
to
ensure
that
we're
funding
not
just
establish
kind
of
institutional
nonprofits,
but
really
identifying
leaders,
grassroots
organizations
who,
in
many
cases
are
reaching
out
to
populations
that
are
unwilling
to
come
in
to
kind
of
more
traditional
services,
distrustful
of
services
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
L
L
This
number
is
actually
a
little
bit
out
of
date.
The
total
raise
is
I
think
just
over
17
million
now
and
we've
given
out
just
under
6
million
my
anticipation.
We
have
a
funding
round,
that's
open
right
now
that
will
close
make.
So
you
know,
please
make
sure
your
networks
do.
You
have
contact
with
grassroots
leaders
make
sure
that
your
networks
are
aware
that
the
funding
cycle
is
open.
We
will
close
May
1st
with
the
anticipation
of
funds
being
awarded
by
May
15th.
L
So
they,
for
instance,
are
the
ones
that
have
said
we
want
you
to
spend
between
20
and
25
percent
of
what's
available
with
each
funding
cycle
so
that
we
can
sort
of
stretch
it
out.
So
therefore,
-13
aggression
and
oversight,
and
that's
comprised
mostly
of
the
folks
who
have
given
a
million
dollars
or
more
to
the
Tobi's
response
one.
So
the
city
does
have
representation
on
that
import
of
investors
and
then
the
board
is
the
board
of
investors
doesn't
make
the
fence
on
grants.
L
However,
that
goes
for
the
grant
committee
and
the
grants
committee
was
very
intentionally
constructed
to
be
broadly
representative
of
the
community.
It
includes
folks
from
both
north
and
north
Mecklenburg
and
South
Mecklenburg,
certainly
from
the
city.
It
includes
people
of
all
different
racial
and
ethnic
identities.
It
includes
people
representing
specialty
populations,
city
and
county
are
there
and
they
really
are
there.
L
It's
a
monitor
community
needs
most
importantly
review
and
make
decisions
about
grants
and
then
respond
to
what
they're
hearing
in
terms
of
how
the
grant
funds
are
being
used
and
where
we
might
want
to
make
future
funding
decisions.
We
concentrated,
and
then
the
United
Way
is
responsible
for
distributing
the
funds
and
during
financial
compliance
right
next
slide.
L
That
just
tells
you
who's
on
that
board
of
investors
next
slide,
and
then
this
is
your
grant
committee.
Give
you
a
second
to
look
at
that,
and
then
we
can
move
forward
Thanks,
okay,
one
more
so
one
of
the
things
that
we've
been
doing
is
a
quick
and
dirty
needs
assessment
to
make
sure
that
we
are
aware
of
what's
out
there
in
the
community,
United
Way
and
foundation
for
the
Carolina
staff.
Did
this
prior
to
the
first
funding
cycle.
L
We
are
going
to
do
it
again
prior
to
making
decisions
on
this
third
funding
cycle,
so
we're
really
just
trying
to
understand.
What's
going
on
not
only
with
the
nonprofits,
but
also
with
the
population
in
the
county
in
the
city,
we
are
also
participating
in
most
problems.
Go
out.
It's
the
volunteers,
volunteer
organizations
activated
in
times
of
disaster.
L
Providing
what
we
can
as
donations
on
the
in-kind
basis
and
then
getting
the
coordinating
services
that
so
is
not
duplicating
unnecessarily
the
next
slide.
Okay,
and
what
we're
learning
is
not
gonna,
surprise
anybody.
The
priority
needs
continue
to
be
food,
emergency,
financial
assistance,
shelter,
health
and
mental
health
care
and
child
care,
and
the
priority
organizational
needs.
Many
of
them
were,
does
not
prepare
to
begin
working
remotely.
L
Others
are
really
having
staff
that
are
on
the
front
lines
and
being
exposed
to
much
like
you
know,
health
care
workers,
they're
exposed
to
the
virus
daily,
and
so
they
are
giving
their
staff
hazard
pay
and
then
again
many
of
them
they're
in
their
own
financial
distress
because
of
lost
revenue.
Next
slide
thank
go
ahead.
L
So
the
way
we're
running
this
very
first
round
of
grants
we
issued
were
directed
grants
based
on
our
needs
assessment
and
based
on
our
conversations
with
organizations,
we've
reached
out
to
folks
and
asked
them
to
apply
for
funding
all,
but
one
of
the
initial
directed
grant
applications
were
funded
and
those
were
around
the
areas
of
shelter
and
food
security.
After
that,
we
then
opened
it
to
a
competitive
grants
process
and
we
will
continue
with
that
competitive
grant
process
for
the
remains
where
the
funds
operations
next
slide.
L
Next
slide.
The
first
round,
we
made
thirteen
million
three
million
in
awards
to
14
organizations.
Again,
as
I
said,
before,
food
shelters,
emergency
financial
assistance,
it
was
a
mix
of
grassroots
and
larger
nonprofits.
We
did
in
those
cases,
restricts
the
funding
to
two
or
three
months
grant
period
so
that
we
could
be
nimble
and
respond
quickly,
as
we
saw
needs
shift
or
or
need
for
adjustments.
Okay,
next
slide.
L
In
this
second
round
of
funding,
we
received
one
hundred
and
seventy
three
applications,
which
was
reviewed
in
a
week
which
was
quick
and
we
made
grants
to
51
organizations.
Again,
the
majority
were
short-term
grants
and
then
you
can
see
there
on
the
slide,
where
we
kind
of
expanded
our
focus
a
little
bit
to
education,
employment
and
help
in
mental
health,
but
with
those
additions,
then
it
was
still
just
that
basic
focus
on
shelter,
emergency,
financial
assistance
and
food
security.
L
L
Okay,
there's
again
is
your
eligibility
criteria.
That
said,
the
next
grant
cycle
is
dope.
That's
a
little
bit
update.
Excuse
me,
we
thought
we
were
gonna
open
up
studies,
actually
correct
I'm,
getting
myself
confused.
We
did
open
April
20th,
it
will
close
on
May
1st
and
again
those
expected
decisions
will
be
made
13th
because
we
will
try
and
review
those
as
quickly
as
we
can
all
right.
A
Presentation
and
I
thought
it
would
be
a
great
idea
for
us
to
present
that
to
the
committee
as
well
as
to
the
community,
because
it
kind
of
gives
you
an
indication
what's
happening
on
the
ground
on
a
wide
variety
of
vertical
places.
Could
you
talk
specifically,
though,
about
the
housing
component
of
it
and
some
of
the
fun
usage
that
some
of
the
nonprofit's
have
received
to
French
for.
L
Okay,
so
on
the
housing
front,
the
majority
of
our
funds
so
far
have
gone
to
provide
rental
assistance
to
folks.
You
know.
We
know
that
the
governor's
safe
eviction
orders
prevents
the
immediate
crisis,
but
we
also
know
that
those
bills
will
still
come
due
and
wanted
to
begin
to
make
sure
that
people
were
still
in
a
stable
position.
L
So
we
did
award
funding
to
primarily
social
service,
received
a
pool
of
funding
to
work
with
an
identified
set
of
landlords
with
affordable
properties
that
were
in
that
affordable
affordability
criteria
to
make
sure
that
both
the
landlord
stayed
meat
of
financially
solvent,
but
also
to
make
sure
that
those
individuals
were
receiving
financial
support
where
they
requested
additional
financial
counseling
services.
Those
were
also
made
available,
so
they
could
begin
to
adjust
their
own
budgeting
with
support
in
these
difficult
times.
So
that
was
one
large
pool
of
funding
and
then
certain
neighborhoods
were
funded
as
well.
L
Were
they
wanted
to
give
rental
assistance
to
folks
in
those
neighborhoods,
and
we
knew
we
had
a
trusted
leadership
as
well
as
a
community
with
a
great
deal
of
needs.
So
our
went
there
to
Lakeview
and
Brook
Hill
or
to
neighborhood
based
organizations
that
intended
to
provide
financial
assistance
to
renters
in
their
community.
L
We
also
not
on
the
rental
side
but
on
the
homeownership
side
did
make
a
large
grant
to
Habitat
for
Humanity's
Charlotte,
because
the
number
of
their
homeowners
were
in
danger
of
not
being
able
to
pay
their
mortgages.
So
we
wanted
to
keep
those
both
financially
solvent
as
well.
So
those
are
two
of
the
more
housing
or
several
of
the
more
housing
worries.
L
Once
one
on
the
shelter
front,
we
have
supported
all
in-ground
round,
one
supported
all
of
the
major
shelters,
men's
shelter,
Charlotte
Salvation,
Army
and
faith
Alliance
to
assist
them
with
the
efforts
to
lower
capacity
within
their
shelters,
Salvation
Army
receive
and
stay
clients
both
received
additional
funding
in
the
second
round
to
again
support
those
initiatives.
Salvation,
Army
and
I
know
jaronda
is
on
on
this
meet
in
this
meeting
as
well.
L
B
J
B
This
is
councilmember
Winston,
it's
less
for
Katherine
I
would
like
to
know
more
about
them.
Take
that
offline
or
in
the
follow-up
report
on
how
councilmember
gran
and
mayor
are
or
what
is
the
structure
and
plays,
or
the
process
in
place
by
a
councilmember
brand.
The
mayor
can
report
back
to
City
Council
about
of
what
is
happening
and
we
can
provide
feedback
and
oversight
from
from
our
perspective
of
how
the
structure
is
being
done
in
the
questions
are.
I
Hi,
yes,
thank
you.
I
had
two
questions,
one:
where
do
people
go
to
fly
their
centralized
website
for
applications
and
that
process?
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and
then
secondly,
that
I
understand
you
just
say
that
individual
landlords
are
able
to
upon
properties
that
fall
within
the
affordability,
metrics.
L
The
first
answer,
the
first
question
is:
you
can
apply
on
our
website.
So
if
you
go
to
UW
Central
Carolinas
that
Wars
there'll
be
a
tab
for
the
Cobie
Response
Fund
and
the
application,
the
link
to
the
application
is
on
that
website,
and
that
would
be
also
for
future
rounds
where
the
most
up-to-date
information
will
be
posted,
so
always
direct,
looks
very
regularly
our
website
for
up-to-date
information.
The
answer
to
your
second
question
is:
I'm,
sorry,
I.
Suppose
no
landlords
are
not
eligible
to
apply
to
the
fund.
The
fund
is
for
nonprofit.
L
What
we
funded
is
a
nonprofit
to
work
with
both
tenants
and
landlords
to
ensure
that
the
tenant
is
able
to
stay
up
to
date,
and
we
are
focusing
on
those
properties
that
we
know,
contribute
and
constitute
the
stock
of
affordable
housing
in
Charlotte,
so
it
specifically
restricted
to
those
properties
that
are
affordable,
but
it
has
to
go
through
the
nonprofit
and
the
tenant
before
it's
going
to
go
to
the
landlord.
Does
that
answer
your
question.
L
B
B
L
Yes,
I
can
speak
at
length
about
that,
so
it's
an
ongoing
situation
and
it's
gotten
very
complicated,
so
I
will
try
and
speak
to
it
as
clearly
as
I
can
so
initially,
a
$600,000
grant
was
given
to
crisis
assistance
ministry
to
provide
support
for
people
who
permanent
residents
within
a
hotel.
Shortly
after
that
grant
was
issued.
The
Attorney
General
issued
his
advise
that
folks,
whose
permanent
residence
within
a
hotel
or
fighter
his
permanent
residence
or
the
hotel
also
were
covered
by
his
know,
eviction
order.
L
So
at
that
point
really
the
landscape
change
and
crisis
assistance
ministry
in
conversation
with
us
and
with
the
county
came
to
the
conclusion
that
they
could
not
spend
the
bulk
of
the
$600,000.
So
this
is
new
information
to
everybody,
because
it
just
happened
yesterday
surprises
that
this
ministry
has
since
returned
just
over
400,000
of
that
initial
grant.
L
The
population
they
will
continue
to
support
as
requested
and
needed
will
be
those
who
permanent
residence
within
the
hotel
who
were
employed
prior
to
the
outbreak
of
Soviet
and
lost
their
job
and
therefore
income
as
a
result
of
kogas
and
just
needs
a
bridge
until
unemployment
benefits
and
other
benefits
are
made
available.
So
there's
actual
population
that
they're
serving
is
fairly
narrow
and
much
of
it
is
protected
by
the
no
eviction
order.
What
we
are
learning
and
then
please
keep
in
mind
that
this
is
a
very
dynamic
and
fluid
situation.
L
What
we
are
learning
is
that
there's
a
whole
nother
set
of
people
that
may
or
may
not
be
covered
by
the
know,
eviction
order,
because
their
residence
in
hotels
is
perhaps
more
transient.
My
somewhat
informed,
but
not
fully
informed
opinion,
because
there's
just
so
much
we
don't
know
is
that
this
is
a
population
that
was
living
paycheck-to-paycheck
might
some
days
be
in
a
hotel.
Some
days
be
doubled
up
some
baby
in
their
car,
but
we're
in
general,
making
it
work
without
permanent
housing.
L
But
now
with
the
ten
demyx
are
no
longer
able
to
make
it
work
that
population
there
is
a
team
of
social
workers
that
has
come
together
to
begin
to
do,
needs
assessment
and
provide
case
management
services.
Part
of
why
crisis
that
agreed
that
it
was
necessary
to
return
the
fund
is
they
do
not
have
that
case
management
capacity,
so
that
team
of
social
workers
will
now
begin
doing
the
case
management
and
providing
more
flexible
funding
to
the
folks
that
fall
into
the
second
category?
They
will
get
some
Hotel
assistance.
L
They
will
get
some
other
forms
of
assistance.
It
depends
on
their
individual
needs
that
work
will
be
done
by
this
team
of
social
workers
and
social
service
has
been
given
the
bulk
of
the
remainder
of
what
crisis
reverted
to
the
fund
in
order
to
provide
payment
as
needed,
whether
it
be
hotel
payment
number
senator
form
the
payment.
So
it's
a
very
like
that.
A
fluid,
difficult
situation
that
we're
all
trying
to
navigate
in
real
time.
M
N
L
So
I
guess
I
would
answer
that
in
two
ways
and
one
is
a
very
kind
of
technocratic
answer-
that
the
fund
is
a
fund
for
nonprofits
and
therefore
is
not
open
much
as
it's
not
opes,
which
is
directly
to
a
landlord.
It's
not
open
to
a
hotel
right.
That's
not
what
the
intended
recipient
of
the
funds
is.
So
that's
my
tactical
answer.
That's.
L
My
second
answer
is
that
you
know
first
I
am
very
sympathetic
to
what
you're
saying
I,
you
know,
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
it
does
us
any
good
to
demonize
hotel
owners
or
to
demonize
property
owners
at
some
being
the
cause
for
our
crisis
in
housing
and
homelessness
right.
They
are
part
of
the
solution.
They
are
not.
The
problem.
L
I
also
want
the
casein
to
say
that
we
are
happy
to
do
our
piece
as
funders
to
support
those
nonprofits
that
can
negotiate
with
landlords
was
happy
to
do
our
piece
and
supporting
some
of
the
people
who
are
residing
in
hotels.
What
I
need
what
I
don't
need,
what
I
would
hope,
but
the
cities
and
the
county
officials
who
are
working
in
the
space
can
understand
is
that
there
is
no
I
mean
we
could
spend
every
penny
of
the
17
million
on
this
issue
and
not
solve
it.
D
L
Shelters,
emergency
financial
assistance,
much
of
which
is
going
to
rental
assistance
or
mortgage
assistance
and
food
I-
think
that's
in
response
to
what
they're
seeing
in
the
community
in
this
last
cycle,
they
did
expand
their
focus
to
health
and
mental
health.
I
think
the
board
of
investors
has
given
advice
that
it
should
expand
to
include
education,
but
that's
an
ongoing
conversation
and
what
I
want
to
say
is
that
it's
not
United
Way
and
it's
not
the
foundation
for
the
Carolinas
setting
those
priorities
that
is
really
coming
from
the
Oversight
Committee
Thank.
A
A
It
is
certainly
commendable
that
we've
raised
in
the
number
of
dollars
to
support
those
efforts
and
I
just
want
to
communicate
to
the
public
and
the
task
force
members
that
there's
boots
on
the
ground
on
via
these
nonprofit
organizations,
really
doing
some
great
work
in
our
community
supporting
out
our
neighbors
and
our
friends,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
presentation
and
I'm
keep
up
to
get
work
as
we
pivot
to
our
next
agenda
item.
I.
Do.
M
A
B
I
will
say:
well
the
hotels
part
of
the
solution.
We
must
recognize
that
there
are
some
bad
business
practices
out
there
that
are
making
things
very
difficult
and
that
are
looming.
The
way
out
for
public
investments
can
go.
So
we
need
to
address
that.
We
would
have
a
question
about
what
these
grants
are
able
to
pay
for
you.
We
are
we
telling
them
the
people
that
are
receiving
them,
that
it
has
to
be
used
for
providing
service
or
a
baby
or
they
themselves
using
it
for
things
like
rent
and
overhead
costs,.
L
So
in
general,
the
funding
has
been
to
advance
the
goals
that
were
set
forth
within
the
proposals
that
we
have
received
in
some
instances.
You
know
I
think
so
let
me
answer
this.
Let
me
started
again.
In
general,
there
have
been
a
number
of
requests
that
have
come
forward
from
agencies
that
are
just
struggling
financially
to
keep
their
doors
open.
Those
requests
have
not
to
date,
been
well
received
by
the
grants
committee
because
they
are
much
more
perfect
on
direct
services.
L
That
said,
within
the
grants
that
have
been
awarded
I,
not
I,
can't
say
that
100%
of
the
funding
has
gone
immediately
to
direct
services,
as
in
it
will
come
kind
of
fund.
The
coat
cut
from
the
Cobie
response
front
directly
to
the
community
penny
for
penny,
because
the
nonprofit's
still
have
to
pay
their
staff
to
do
the
work
right.
So
some
of
the
funding-
I,
wouldn't
say
it's
on
for
overhead
or
been
what
it's
on
is
to
allow
them
to
keep
their
doors
open
in
order
to
keep
delivering
the
services
that
people
need.
M
L
Ma'am
I'm.
Sorry,
if
I
invited
that
what's
the
case,
what
I
was
saying
no
to
which
we
can't
directly
pay
the
hotel?
Okay,
we
can't
go
from
the
coded
fund
to
the
hotel,
but,
as
I
said
just
yesterday,
social
serve
receives
it's
the
balance
of
what
prices
reverted
crisis.
Assistance
ministers
reverted.
Those
funds
will
as
soon
as
possible,
go
into
circulation.
L
They
can
be
used
for
temporary
hotel
payments
for
those
who
fit
into
this
greater
population
that
don't
kind
of
fit
at
the
very
narrow
criteria
that
crisis
assistance
ministry
is
working
with
so,
but
they
also
do
other
things,
so
the
funding
will
be
available.
I
apologize
for
the
noise
I
have
a
very
small
house
and
for
people
navigating
it
so
the
so.
Yes,
those
dollars
were
just
granted
yesterday
social
service
just
now
gearing
up
I
think
the
first
implementation
call
is
a
pre
o'clock
that
I'd
be
plans
to
join.
L
L
A
Thank
You
Catherine
for
your
work
and
again
the
application
period
is
so
open
until
May.
First,
though,
there's
a
non-profit
organization,
that's
doing
good
work
in
the
community,
as
relates
to
serving
members
that
are
impacted
by
Kolb
at
19.
Here's
an
opportunity
to
get
some
working
money's
to
address
those
needs
and
services.
So
thanks,
Catherine.
A
Thank
you
now.
What
I'm
gonna
do
is
just
kind
of
open
it
up
to
the
task
force
members-
and
you
heard
our
framework-
you
heard
with
the
United
Way
in
the
foundation
of
the
Carolinas,
been
doing
in
terms
of
working
with
nonprofit
organizations
trying
to
get
down,
but
I
call
boots
on
the
ground.
Helping
people
help
themselves
specific
way
to
housing,
as
well
as
the
other
tenants
that
they're
working
with
we
talked
earlier
about
the
post
recovery,
housing
challenges
relating
to
payment
of
rent
mortgages,
utilities,
foreclosures
and
evictions.
A
How
do
we
manage
the
relationship
between
landlords,
property
owners
and
tenants,
the
ending
of
judicial
and
legislative
moratoriums,
and,
as
an
aside,
the
city
will
be
doing
a
50
million
dollar
bond
campaign
in
November
for
4th
of
our
housing?
I
agree
with
councilmember
Winston
in
terms
of
the
examination
of
our
framework
moving
forward.
I
just
want
to
open
it
up
to
the
committee
for
your
reaction
to
what
you
heard
today
and
where
you
think
the
task
force
should
be
headed
to
so
it's
an
open
conversation
to
any
task
force.
A
A
J
D
No,
you
didn't
so
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
city
council
for
pulling
together
this
task
force
and
really
trying
to
be
representative
of
the
community.
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
a
few
things
in
terms
of
our
consideration
going
forward.
The
first
is
I
think
a
nod
to
what
Commissioner
Lindsay
brought
up.
Is
this
notion
that
single
family
rental
owners,
multifamily
owners
are
pretty
much
left
out
of
the
equation
in
terms
of
rental
relief?
D
Housing
to
families
is
really
almost
a
slap
in
the
face
to
not
have
any
provision
in
the
cares
Act
for
them
to
get
funding,
because
they
too
have
mortgages
that
they
have
to
pay
that
they
have
to
provide
up
heat
and
they
have
to
comply.
We
with
all
of
the
safety
and
sanitation,
that's
included
in
some
of
the
government's
provisions.
D
That
said,
I
am
encouraged
by
the
proactivity
of
Charlotte
and
our
region,
because
many
places,
many
other
geographies
have
not
stepped
up
and
they're
proactive
about
creating
response
and
relief
funds,
unlike
our
city
and
our
County
has,
and
so
I'm
very
much
encouraged
glad
to
live
in
this
region.
That
said,
we
do
have
to
figure
out
how
to
get
money
into
the
hands
of
the
owners.
Kerr's
Act
provides
for
property
management
companies,
but
that
is
not
that's,
not
the
group
that
necessarily
pays
the
mortgage.
D
They
manage
the
budgets
and
they
manage
the
properties
and
they
manage
those
homes
that
people
live
in,
but
they
don't
own
and
the
promise
very
promissory
note
were
those
assets,
and
so
we
have
to
find
ways
to
get
money
directly
into
the
hands
of
the
owners
so
that
they
don't
default
and
while
there's
a
moratorium
of
sorts
and
forbearance
allowances
for
owners
of
Fannie
and
Freddie
backed
securities,
the
majority
of
the
multifamily
securities
and
most
of
the
single
family
rental
is
not
Fannie
and
Freddie
back.
It's
just
conventional
mortgages.
D
F
Sure
I'll
try
to
keep
it
brief.
This
has
been
really
interesting.
I've
been
intriguing
just
to
hear
about
it,
I
think
we're
all
in
uncharted
territory,
so
I'm
just
fascinated
to
kind
of
learn
how
things
are
going.
I
would
say
a
couple
things
that
I
read
in
the
materials
last
night
and
just
our
experience
over
this
kind
of
what
we
call
the
first
month.
You
know
kind
of
what
happened
in
April,
because
as
a
landlord
as
in
a
developer,
we
didn't
know
what
would
happen.
F
We're
learning,
stuff
and
I
would
just
kind
of
urge
us
to
kind
of
continue
to
share
the
thing
that
I
read
last
night.
That
was
really
important,
I
thought
and
it
was
echoed
today
and
even
what
Kim
just
said
is
important,
is
is
the
the
way
we're
gonna
come
out
of
this
I
think
hole
or
it
with
the
least
amount
of
damages
to
keep
people
in
their
existing
homes,
so
don't
have
the
transition,
even
if
they
go
from
one
program
to
the
other
if
they
have
to
move.
That's
just
creating.
F
That's
just
wasting
that's
waste
if
they
have
to
move.
So
we
want
to
keep
people
in
their
homes.
I
think
we
want
to
keep
people
current.
So
forbearance
is
helpful
in
the
sense
that,
yes,
someone
can't
be
evicted,
but
if
they're
running
behind
on
rent,
that's
just
push,
that's
just
kicking
the
can
down
the
road
it's
just
causing.
F
So
if
we
can
keep
people
current,
that's
number
two
and
even
what
Kim
said
if
if
owners
can
stay
current,
so
if
they
even
if
they
got
forbearance
on
their
mortgage,
if
they
fall
three
months
behind
on
their
mortgage
again,
we're
just
kicking
things
down
the
river.
Oh
it's
a
program
as
we
think
about
it.
Let's
figure
out
how
to
keep
people
current,
because
I
think
that's
gonna.
Allow
us
to
come
out
of
this
better
and
the
the
other
piece
to
that
is.
How
do
we
use
all
the
resources
to
do
that?
F
I
think
we
were
somewhat
pleasantly
surprised.
Our
collections
on
our
existing
apartments
have
been
in
Charlotte
ever
been
in
the
mid
to
high
80s.
So
we
were,
we
didn't
know
what
was
gonna
happen.
April
we
thought.
Well,
we
collect
50%
of
our
rent.
Sixty
we
had
no
idea.
It's
been
mid
to
high
80s
and,
while
we've
our
tenants
have
had
access
to
cares,
funding
that's
been
about.
Six
to
seven
percent
of
our
tenants
have
gone
I've
kind
of
used
that
that
suggests
that
some
folks
are.
F
There
are
whether
they're
getting
unemployment,
whether
they're
getting
stimulus
payments,
we
don't
know
but
I,
think
one
of
the
things
as
we
transition
from
April
into
May
and
June,
because
we
don't
know
what
May
is
gonna
hold.
This
could
just
be
that
April
people
covered
and
then
May
is
gonna,
be
the
problem
on
understanding
how
tenants
and
folks
are
accessing
federal
resources,
because
what
I
don't
think
we
can
do
with
cares
or
any
local
sources
solve
the
problem
ourselves.
F
We
want
to
make
sure
folks
are
getting
unemployment
insurance,
that
they're
getting
their
stimulus
payments
and
cares
becomes
that
way
or
other
local
sources
becomes
the
way
to
plug
the
gaps.
So
if
someone
can't
get
unemployment,
because
there's
too
many
people
trying
to
get
it
and
they're
on
hold
all
day,
how
does
cares
or
someone
like
it
plugged
the
gap
until
unemployment?
F
So
we
got
to
use
those
federal
resources,
but
always
with
an
eye
toward
how
do
we
make
sure
people
stay
current
so
that
they're
not
just
pushing
this
problem,
because
we
may
be
dealing
with
this
for
three
months
six
a
year
because
that's
the
transition
as
we
come
out
of
three
months
if
people
are
permanently
unemployed
because
of
recession,
we're
transitioning
to
a
different
problem.
But
again
the
goal
should
be
keep
those
folks
in
their
home,
because
if
they're
not
they
have
to
move,
that's
just
making
the
problem.
F
I
Yes,
thank
you.
I
agree
with
everything
that's
been
said
so
far
and
I
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
recognize
that
there's
been
a
huge
amount
of
effort
put
into
addressing
this
problem
by
the
city
and
and
it's
it's
a
broader
effort
than
I.
Think
most
citizens
are
aware
of
those
people
who
are
probably
most
directly
impacted
are
aware
of
it.
But
those
of
us
who
may
not
be
directly
impacted
are
probably
much
less
aware
of
how
much
is
actually
being
done.
I
So
I
think
that's
also
one
of
the
initiatives,
if
you
will
that
our
task
force
needs
to
also
undertake,
is
how
do
we
make
the
full
citizenry
aware
of
exactly
what
is
being
done
and
how
it's
being
done?
The
other
comment
is
that
when
we
talk
about
task
force,
potential
topics
I'd
like
for
us
to
also
be
open
to
the
notion
of
talking
about
zoning
and
development
policies
that
may
impact
on
the
ability
you
provide
additional
housing.
We
also
need
to
be
talking
about
capacity
building
on
the
housing
provider
side.
I
In
my
opinion,
and
one
of
the
challenges
is
that
there
are
so
few
housing
providers
whose
primary
mission
is
to
the
development
and
delivery
of
subsidized
housing,
and
so
how
do
we
expand
that
pool
in
much
the
same
way?
We've
expanded
the
pool
of
community
partners
that
are
doing
other
pieces
of
the
housing
and
sheltering
work
that
idea
of
delivery
of
production
delivery
of
housing
also
needs
to
be
on
our
agenda.
In
my
estimation,
there
are
probably
two
paths
to
how
we
deal
with
this
challenge.
One
is
direct
to
the
individual.
I
How
do
we
support
the
individual
directly
and
the
other
is
direct
to
a
property?
How
do
we
directly
support
the
continued
availability
and
access
of
a
property
and
I
believe
those
are
the
two
paths
when
we
boil
everything
down,
it's
either
gonna
be
direct
to
the
individual
that
we
offer
some
sort
of
assistance
or
help,
or
it's
going
to
be
directly
to
that
property
of
at
the
end
that
some
individual
may
at
some
point
occupy.
So
those
are
my
comments.
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
the
city
is
taking
this
initiative.
I
I
think
we
are
in
fact
out
in
front
on
this
and
I'm
excited
about
that
aspect
of
it
and
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
us
not
only
addressing
the
current
issues,
but
also
taking
some
bold
steps
toward
continuing
to
lay
a
foundation
that
will
allow
our
city
to
deal
with
this
problem
of
housing
as
well
as
equity
and
mobility.
Going
forward
thanks
very
much.
B
Thank
you,
so
I
would
like
this
committee
to
form
30-day
work
plans
and
and
and
figure
out
what
we
can
achieve
in
30
days
and
create
workflows
that
allow
us
to
do
the
work
and
get
to
actionable
plans
within
30
days.
I
have
four
specific
areas
that
I
would
suggest
for
us
to
figure
out
in
30
days
to
put
plans
behind.
We
need
to
immediately
increase
our
supply
of
supportive
and
transitional
housing
here
in
Charlotte.
B
We
need
this
passport
to
come
together
to
figure
out
how
that
is
realistic
in
the
short
term,
not
down
the
line
after
we
have
more
Housing
Trust
Fund
dollars,
but
right
now,
second
I
think
we
need
to
be
realistic
that
this
is
not
something
that
is
going
to
end
it
a
bump
or
probably
not
a
year
that
we
are
going
to
go
through
a
recession.
We
know
that
there
will
be
downward
pressure
on
grants
and
mortgages,
because
rents
and
mortgages
will
not
be
paid.
B
On
single-family
or
multifamily,
so
we
need
to
get
with
our
pending
institutions
in
town
and
all
the
brains
that
we
have
on
the
financial
side
of
things
to
get
forecast
and
really
understand
what
the
impact
of
those
balance
sheets
continuing
to
be
out
of
whack.
What
that
looks
like
over
three
months
over
six
months
over
nine
most
of
over
this
next
year,
then
we
need
to
operate
with
that
information.
I
think
we
need
a
change
in
the
way
we
have
approached
the
business.
B
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
what
Commissioner,
Lindsey,
says
and
I
think
one
of
the
ways
that
we
can
increase
the
supply
of
posts
that
are
building
this
type
of
stuff
is
that
we
should
transition
the
City
of
Charlotte
to
become
a
multi
income.
Housing
developer
with
a
business
plan
to
increase
the
supply
of
housing
across
the
city.
Again,
I
agree
with
a
commissioner
Lindsay.
There
can
be
a
spectrum
of
the
way
we
go
about
doing
this.
B
There
are
things
within
our
Cole
already
yeah,
that
is,
that
provides
some
low-hanging
fruit
that
we
as
a
city
as
a
city
at
the
developer,
might
look
to
the
first
thing,
I
think
about
our
ancillary
dwelling
units.
Those
are
allowed
within
zoning
and
within
our
code
right
now,
but
they
have
it.
The
market
has
not
responded
to
it.
B
We
can
go
into
owner-occupied
situations
right
now
in
transition
in
parts
of
town
there's
an
all
over
town,
you
can
come
up
with
a
plan
but
to
build
those
and
use
granny
flats
or
tiny
homes
or
cottage
homes,
whatever
models
that
we
think
works
best
all
the
way
to
the
more
complex
spectrum
of
development.
How
do
we
buy
some
of
these
hotels
and
work
with
our
service
providers
like
the
county
and
Lybian
and
others
to
provide,
for
instance,
those
more
complex
supportive
in
transitional
health,
housing
on
goals
and
the
last
one
I
mentioned
earlier?
A
G
Thank
you
very
much
to
everybody
at
the
city
in
the
council,
especially
we've
found
new
ways
to
communicate
in
some
of
the
most
basic
ways
to
communicate,
might
be
the
most
amazing
councilman
Lindsay's
comments
about
communication.
Our
CEO
has
a
customer
service
team
that
has
been
calling
each
and
every
one
of
our
of
our
clients
and
the
information
that
is
gleaned
out
of
those
conversations
is
really
pretty
eye-opening,
our
our
we.
G
We
serve
every
end
of
the
spectrum
in
our
tax
credit,
households
that
are
paying
a
tax
credit,
rent
and
our
market
rate
renters
that
have
not
received
their
subsidies
yet
they're
all
waiting
for
their
stimulus
checks.
Some
of
them
are
waiting
for
the
bump
in
unemployment
of
$600
a
week
and
those
those
benefits
just
have
not
been
forthcoming.
So
we
are
continuing
to
rent
up
apartments.
G
We
have
received
an
additional
907
new
applications
for
housing,
and
we
continue
to
lease
up
apartments
and
do
apartment
turns
to
help
benefit
folks
but
dumb,
but
we
only
received
77%
of
our
April
rent
and
we
are
working
with
every
single
household
to
Councilwoman.
Johnson's
comment
about
the
courts.
The
courts
are
actually
closed
through
June,
the
1st,
so
fortunately,
the
closer
look
at
the
courts
are
closed
and
not
doing
any
any
kind
of
evictions
right
now.
G
We
would
not
be
pursuing
evictions
at
this
time,
but
fortunately
the
courts
are
also
close
to
not
doing
eviction,
so
we
continue
to
keep
all
lines
of
communication
open
and
welcome
those
lines
of
communication
and
look
forward
to
working
with
everybody
at
the
city
and
on
this
task
force
to
advance
this
work.
Thank
you.
E
O
Me
also
say
thank
you
to
the
city
for
establishing
this
task
force
and
happy
to
be
on
it.
Of
course,
a
lot
of
my
advocacy
and
comments
are
going
to
come
around
homelessness
at
the
homeless
service
provider.
We've
been
on
the
ground
and
I
want
to
just
thank
our
staff
and
the
staff
at
the
ensuring
safe
Alliance
as
well,
for
putting
on
masks
putting
on
gloves
coming
in
and
working
with
people.
Every
day
we've
been
able
to
in
the
midst
of
cold
at
19,
still
establish
them
partnerships.
O
So
I
see
so
many
opportunities,
my
concern
and
what
I
want
us
to
continue
to
focus
on
it.
I'm
really
appreciative
to
Councilwoman
Johnson
who
keeps
talking
about
those
families
in
a
hotel.
So
we
are
really
sort
of
you
know.
The
homeless
services
system
is
was
challenging
when
we
first
when
its
first
started,
I'm,
always
thinking
about
those
families
in
the
hotel.
O
So
much
that,
although
we're
stretched
here,
we
committed
to
staff
to
do
some
case
management
for
those
families
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
what
we
can
to
prevent
those
hospitals
from
falling
into
homelessness.
These
were
households
that
were
working
that
were
paying
rent
they
were
in
for
it.
So
we
want
to
do
whatever.
O
I'm
saying
is
in
the
most
sensitive
way
as
possible.
We
have
an
Employment
Program
here
at
the
shelter
and
we're
still
getting
employees
that
that
are
hiring
people.
So
I
want
us
to
also
think
about
what
our
folks
are
losing
their
jobs
that
are
in
the
hotels.
How
can
we
grab
that
employment
piece
around
them.
J
O
I'm
willing
to
work
and
support
and
be
a
part
of
this
community
in
any
way
that
I
can
I
think
in
homelessness
services.
It's
tough
but
important.
If
the
interest
system
is
still
functioning,
which
means
that
people
that
are
homeless,
they
know
what
they
can
call
all
the
shelter's
had
to
downsize
for
social
distancing,
but
with
support
from
other
entities,
we
were
able
to
get
those
individuals
in
their
hotels
had
a
great
conversation
with
Pam
Wyman
about.
O
Where
do
we
go
from
here,
because
we
had
not
been
able
to
do
intake
so
I'm
thankful,
Pam
for
working
with
us
with
the
ESG
dollars
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
respond
to
homelessness
through
hotels
and
be
able
of
content
to
operate
as
an
emergency
shelter
system
and,
at
the
same
time
trying
to
keep
people
safe
by
practice
and
safe
social
differences.
So,
thank
you
all.
Thank.
H
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
opportunity
and
I
know
we're
almost
out
of
time.
So
I'll
keep
it
very
short.
It's
just
just
say
that
one
thing
that
we
learned
from
the
recession
ten
years
ago,
you
know
is
that
we
need
to
continue
to
build
affordable
housing
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
you
know
it's
going
to
be
more
difficult
to
get
these
deals,
but
anst,
flinters
and
equity
investors
are
nervous
and
they
will
continue
to
be
nervous
and
so
that
booti
pricing
may
come
down.
H
Those
will
be
harder
to
secure,
so
I
think
that
it's
incumbent
upon
developers
to
let
the
city
know,
city
staff,
know
about
challenges
given
there's
deal
films,
finance
and
also
to
talk
to
the
Housing
Finance
Agency
with
with
the
city,
to
make
sure
that
that
they
make
changes
in
in
response
to
the
challenges
that
we
that
we
currently
have,
they
did
that
during
the
recession,
I
think
they'll
do
that
again
this
time.
Otherwise
we
won't
be
able
to
increase
the
supply.
J
C
Everybody
is
helping
us
out
on
this.
We
council
had
a
handful
of
opportunities
to
have
these
conversations,
so
today,
I
mainly
wanted
to
just
listen
and
hear
what
our
service
providers
and
builders
and
others
are
seeing
on
the
ground
and
identifying,
as
the
needs
that
the
city
can
potentially
fill
I
do
want
to
clarify
a
response
to
appoint
miss
Johnson
made.
C
A
Thank
You,
councilmember
I,
think
all
the
comments
are
well
said.
I
think
we
have
a
tremendous
opportunity
to
kind
of
reshape
what
we
do,
what
we're
doing
from
a
housing
perspective,
long
term
and
addressing
the
immediate
needs
of
Arkansas
citizens
relating
to
how
we're
responding
to
the
Cova
19
recovery
challenges,
so
I
think
we
I
think
we
can.
We
got
a
number
of
opportunities
to
do,
get
work
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
each
and
every
one
of
you.
Please
feel
free
to
call
me.
A
And/Or
email
me
or
miss
Wyman
in
terms
of
any
additional
comments,
concerns
again,
as
I
said
earlier,
we're
going
to
do
also
public
testimonies
from
citizens
advocates
in
the
community.
So
there's
anyone
that
you
would
like
to
hear
from
to
address
the
the
task
force.
Please
send
us
those
names
as
well
and
I
need
any
research.
You've
done
that
you
think
the
the
entire
task
force
would
benefit
from
any
readings
that
you
come
across.
Please
send
it
our
way,
so
we
can
make
sure
that
we
can
distributed
to
the
entire
task
force.
A
A
My
preference
with
two
acts
on
the
mayor's
mercy
to
allow
us
to
do
it
every
other
week
and
then,
as
odd
week,
will
give
me
and
staff
time
to
process
requests
from
the
task
force
members
to
do
some
homework
and
to
be
best
prepared
to
bring
issues
before
the
task
force.
That's
action
oriented.
We
don't
want
to
do
a
whole
lot
of
talking.
We
want
to,
as
councilmember
Winston
said,
30
day,
plan,
identifying
action
items
and
make
recommendations
to
the
City
Council
as
a
whole.
B
Every
week
I
have
question
about
what
is
what
is
the
structure
of
this?
So
what
is
the
kind
of
purpose
of
this?
My
understanding
is
that
you're,
the
coordinator,
but
council
members
are:
will
we
be
working
with
staff
ourselves
to
two
bricks
out
of
work?
One
things
that
have
been
brought
up
today
is
this
task
force
and
all
the
other
two
task
force
forces?
Are
they
going?
Are
we
going
to
make
recommendations
to
the
full
City
Council
for
decisions
week
to
week
that
we
can
implement
policy
wise?
B
A
I'll
give
the
quick
staff
first
comes.
Remember
one
I
think
that
what
we're
going
to
do
is
based
on
the
compact
in
the
feedback
we
received
from
the
task
force
members
today,
as
well
as
informally
through
through
phone
calls
present
to
the
task
force
a
work,
a
work
client
of
issues
that
we
would
like
to
address,
individuals
that
we
would
like
to
hear
from
I
think
your
suggestions
of
the
turn
off
30-day
work
plan
is
something
that
we've
already
talked
about
internally
with
staff.
A
The
staffing
of
the
task
force
will
be
similar
to
our
regular
committee
structure,
where
staff
will
process
the
work,
we're
taking
minutes
and
notes.
We
hear
your
concerns.
We've
gotten
the
information
you
said
previously,
as
well
as
other
task
force
members,
and
so
we
will
process
the
the
work
similar.
As
the
regular
council
committee
meetings,
we
will
be
identifying
issues
proposing
recommendations
to
the
full
City
Council
for
adoption
in
approval.
P
Councilman
Wilson.
Basically,
even
though
this
is
the
task
force,
it
is
still
to
me
under
the
same
umbrella
as
the
committee
meeting,
the
same
way
that
we
would
work
through
those
processes
and
and
staff.
You
bring
this
concerns
to
staff
staff,
we'll
go
back
and
do
the
work
and
we'll
come
back
and
we'll
meet
Tony
different.
P
Is
that
we're
meeting
more
regularly
whether
it's
weekly,
bi-weekly
or,
however,
we
want
to
do
it,
but
we're
going
to
be
meeting
actually
moving
the
ball
further
down,
rather
quickly
than
the
once
a
month
meeting
that
we
had
when
we
were
looking
at
just
the
Housing
Committee.
So
that's
what
I
see
happening
and
the
reporting
back
out
to
Council
and
you
are
taking
the
vote
of
where
you
want
to
go
as
a
whole
body
to
move
this
forward.
A
C
Based
on
how
quickly
we
can
pound
things
to
decide
on
things
to
act
on,
we
can
do
that
a
week
from
now.
There's
action.
We
can
concur
with
councillor
Winston
in
terms
of
why
wait
an
extra
week
to
take
action
on
something,
that's
so
so
time-sensitive,
but
if
staff
doesn't
feel
like
that,
there's
anything,
but
just
just
getting
reports
and
there's
not
gonna,
be
action.
We
can
take
a
week
from
now
defer
that
all.
A
Right,
listen.
Let
me
recommend
this
listen
I
recommend
that
we
we
meet
next
week
that
between
now
and
then
we
produce
a
work
plan
and
they
will
share
it
with
the
task
force.
Our
goal
and
my
goal
is
to
be
action-oriented
I,
clearly
understand
the
urgency
of
now.
But,
as
I
said
earlier,
this
is
a
marathon
we're
gonna
be
doing
this
for
a
while,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
pace
ourselves
and
that
we
again
under
and
what's
happening
around
us.
A
So
we
can
make
sure
that
the
decisions
that
we're
making
will
be
effective,
efficient
and
impactful,
and
so
we
will
schedule
a
meeting
for
next
Thursday
at
the
same
time,
if
that
works
for
everyone's
calendar,
we'll
get
a
work
plan
out
relatively
soon
again,
please
feel
free
to
contact
council
members.
If
you
have
any
comments
and
our
concerns
directly
to
the
to
the
manager's
office,
that's
fine,
too.
The
task
force
members.
If
you
have
any
questions
on
or
concerns,
you
can
call
me
directly
and
our
mrs.
M
M
Addiction,
according
to
the
information
that
I
have
from
the
course
they
are
being
filed
now
so
I
think
they
need
clarification
event,
there's
three
processes
to
eviction,
there's
the
filing
there's
the
adjustment
and
the
motion
to
vacate.
So
we
know
the
judgments
aren't
being
issued
because
these
they're
not
being
processed,
but
according
to
my
understanding,
they
are
allowed
to
be
filed
right
now,.
