C
It
we
had
to
give
it
away
today's
meeting
of
the
neighborhood,
affordable
housing,
Advisory
Board
is
called
to
order
on
April
11th.
Please
welcome
everybody.
Agendas
for
today's
meeting
are
on
the
wall
at
the
entrance
to
the
chambers.
Please
remember
to
silence
your
cell
phones
to
ensure
complete
complete
record
of
the
board's
actions.
We
ask
that
each
individual
wishing
to
speak
clearly
states
your
name
and
spell
your
last
name
for
the
clerk
I'll
ask
the
board
members
to
introduce
themselves
and
identify
the
fields
you
represent.
C
C
B
I
didn't
mean
to
be,
and
I've
never
presented
to
an
Advisory
Board
before
so,
if
I'm
out
of
order
at
any
point,
somebody
raised
their
hand
but
I
represent
a
group
of
citizens
and
we're
here
to
help
you-
and
we
spoke
at
city
council
a
few
weeks
back
several
of
us
about
the
need
for
housing
in
Clearwater
and
the
many
reasons
and
the
many
silos
that
are
there.
As
you
know,
and
as
you
represent,
that
make
it
difficult
for
people
to
find
shelter
and
then
also
homes,
our
college
graduates
and
others.
So,
in.
B
B
B
Our
college
graduates
need
and
the
many
people
that
work
here
shouldn't
have
to
live
in
Pasco
and
rescue
and
then
commute.
So
that's
why
we're
here,
if
I
can
I
would
like
to
hand
out
what
we've
been
giving
the
city
council
members
and
we
haven't
met
with
everybody.
I
made
a
copy
for
each
one
of
you.
B
It's
no
more
really
than
my
summary
of
what
we
talked
about
three
or
four
weeks
ago
and
our
promise
to
you
is
that
we're
here
to
help
and
if
we
can
meet
with
you
one-on-one,
we
would
want
to
and
share
our
thoughts
and
learn
from
you
because
you've
been
at
this
much
longer
than
we
have.
We
represent
many
foundations,
faith
in
Florida,
Saint,
Vincent,
De
Paul,
the
Urban
League
from
Greenwood.
We
are
working
together
to
try
to
make
this
a
better
process,
a
real,
important
strategic
time
for
our
city.
B
As
you
approve
the
mission
in
the
mission
centers,
we
need
to
track
an
account
for
the
homes
Denise
brought
up
the
other
day.
You
know
the
last
council
meeting
that
solar
is
part
of
the
commitment,
including
front
2.0,
and
how
do
we
do
that?
And
you
know
councilwoman
Tashara
said
you
know:
should
we
spend
our
money
on
Solo
or
not
I
think
we
have
to
walk
and
chew
gum
at
the
same
time,
because
people
need
affordable
appliances
and
all
those
things
there's
a
lot
of
money
on
the
table.
B
731
million
dollars
just
got
signed.
We
met
with
Chuck
Lane
before
he
moved
to
public
works.
You
know,
and
he
said,
if
that
money
flows,
we
need
to
all
help
manage
that
money
and
ask
for
our
share
their
solar
money
in
Tallahassee
that
just
got
approved,
and
so
so
it
goes,
but
we're
here
to
help
my
name
is
Beth
Davis
and
I.
Look
forward
to
helping
you
help
us
thanks.
B
I
Good
morning
my
my
name
is
Mohammed
Abdul
Rahim,
it's
abdur,
hyphen
r-a-h-I-m,
pretty
sure
that
most
of
you
are
aware,
but
I
just
want
to
actually
kind
of
echo
Beth,
because
I'm
a
part
of
the
group
that
she's
referring
to
and
actually
I'm
a
resident
of,
North
Greenwood
I've
been
a
residence
there.
Since
wow
I
forgot,
1989
same
house,
grandmother
was
in
that
house
mother's
been
in
the
house,
I
was
in
their
house.
The
reason
I'm
mentioning
that
is
this.
I
My
daughter
recently
had
to
move
to
Riverview
and
I've
already
wanted
to
have.
My
children
actually
live
in
the
same
city
that
I've
come
to
live
in.
I
I
I
just
heard
the
plans
that
are
coming
up
for
the
2012
2045
comprehensive
plan,
and
that
plan
is
going
to
lay
out
you
know
for
our
city
for
the
next
27
years
from
down
the
road,
but
we
have
to
have
housing
components
built
in
it
so
that
we
can
actually
do
a
better
job
that
we're
doing
for
our
citizens.
So
thank
you
for
listening
and
I
hope
that
next
service
will
echo
in
policies
and
procedures.
Thank
you.
J
Good
morning
my
name
is
Cassandra.
Gadson
I
am
a
mother
of
five
children.
The
reason
just
echoing
the
points
that
they've
made
I'm,
not
a
part
of
the
organization,
but
it
sounds
like
a
wonderful
organization
to
be
a
part
of
I
am
a
mother
of
five
children
that
are
not
in
this
County.
At
this
moment,
I
am
staying
currently
at
the
Haven
shelter
right
now.
It's
a
shelter
for
abuse
and
battered
women
and
my
children
are
in
foster
care,
so
I've
gone
through
this
case
plan.
J
That's
taking
about
a
year
and
I've
completed
everything,
I've
gone
to
the
domestic
violence
house,
since
I've
gone
and
done
everything,
and
finally,
last
month,
I
had
enough
courage
to
get
up.
So
as
a
mother
there's
not
very
many
programs
out
here
for
mothers
who
have
gone
through
and
done
what
I've
done.
I'm
a
fourth
generation
foster
kid
I
started
doing
this
when
I
was
nine
years
old.
My
seven-year-old
weeks
ago
tried
to
jump
up
for
her
school
because
she
wants
to
be
reunited
with
her
mother
I've
lost
one
child
to
the
foster
care
system.
J
I
cried
about
this
daily,
there's
a
need
for
affordable
housing
for
mothers
who
are
trying
to
get
their
kids
back
and
try
to
be
reunified
with
their
children.
I.
Ask
that
you
guys
hear
and
dedicate
whatever
you're
able
to
do
I.
Ask
that
you
guys
see
me
not
see
my
illnesses
and
I
hope
that
you
guys,
for
the
sake
of
my
children
and
children
on
our
generation
like
I,
said:
I
am
a
fourth
generation
foster
kids,
my
kids
are
making
fifth
generation.
I
would
like
to
break
the
cycles.
J
I
would
like
to
see
and
show
my
daughter
that
she
can
successfully
raise
a
child
herself.
My
biggest
fear
of
becoming
a
mother
was
that
I
would
not.
My
I
would
go
through
the
same
things
and
face
the
same
hardships
as
my
mother
did,
and
due
to
non-affordable
housing
I'm
facing
those
same
exact
fears
and
I'm
hasn't
was
not
successful,
not
getting
my
kids
taken
away.
So
if
there's
anything
that
you
can
do
anything
at
all,
I
ask
that
you
guys
hear
us
and
for
my
family
and
for
my
beautiful
babies,.
J
I
ask
you
to
do
whatever
you
can.
Thank
you
and
that's
Cassandra
last
name
spelled
g-a-d-s-o-n.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
C
Item
4.1
is
presentations
by
applicants
for
Community,
Development
block
grant,
funding
for
public
service
programs,
public
facility
improvements
and
economic
development
programs.
Each
year
we
receive
applications
for
funding.
They
are
wide
ranging
applications
and
do
a
lot
of
good
in
our
community,
and
we
appreciate
hearing
what
the
good
is
done
in
the
community
and
look
forward
to
hearing
your
presentations
today.
Miss
Anderson,
please
explain
to
the
board
where
today's
presentations
fit
into
the
city's
Grant
application
cycle
and
when
we
can
expect
these
programs
to
begin
helping.
Clearwater
citizens.
K
K
We
have
a
technical,
Review
Committee
that
will
be
meeting
on
Thursday
morning
to
evaluate
and
score
these
applications,
and
then
we
have
a
staff
analysis
component
that
will
contribute
to
the
review
as
well.
These
applications,
Public
Services
public
facilities
and
economic
development
programs
will
come
back
to
you
all
in
May,
as
we
begin
to
make
recommendations
for
the
allocations
of
the
entire
funding
cycle.
K
Defending
cycle
really
kind
of
culminates
with
Council
approval
of
it
and
our
home
budget,
which
is
the
other
Federal
program
that
we
have
they
go
into
what
is
known
as
the
annual
action
plan,
which
is
part
of
the
HUD
five-year
Consolidated
plan.
This
will
be
the
fourth
year.
The
October
will
begin
the
fourth
year
of
that
AAP
cycle,
as
we
call
it
after
which
we'll
be
able
to
begin
funding
those
projects
effective
10-1.
So
this
is
a
really
important
component.
There
will
be
a
public
hearing
processes
that
begin
in
June.
K
A
public
comment
period
that
precedes
excuse
me:
public
hearing
begins
in
July.
The
public
comment
period
will
precede
that
and
all
of
these
activities,
the
neighborhood,
affordable
housing,
Advisory
Board
is
critical,
really
to
not
only
the
public
review
and
betting
and
discussion
of
these
projects,
but
the
approval
process,
as
we
move
through
this
HUD
mandated
process.
That's
before
us,
okay,.
C
Thank
you,
Miss
Anderson,
our
presentations.
Today,
we
have
quite
a
few
of
them.
I
do
encourage
and
and
stress
that
each
of
you
will
have
time
limits
and
we
do
ask
that
you
stay
with
your
time
limits
so
that
we
do
consolidate
and
keep
on
time.
Today.
Our
first
presenters
are
Rhonda
Lieberman
and
Katrina
Tucker
with
WestCare
Gulf
Coast
Florida.
You
will
have
three
minutes
to
present.
L
L
Gulf
Coast
Florida,
we
have
homeless
and
sud
disorders
who's
the
clients
that
we
work
with.
We
have
a
steps,
a
turning
point,
that
is
our
homeless
shelter,
and
we
have
services
that
Mustard
Seed
as
a
transitional
housing,
and
we
have
data
spread.
The
building
is
our
residential
program
and
we
have
outpatient
services.
Katrina
will
talk
about
turning
point,
which
is
what
we've
requested
funding
for
thirty
thousand
dollars
for
a
pace
manager.
M
M
At
this
point,
just
imagine
you're
all
sitting
here
and
you
you
got
out
of
your
nice
cars
and
you
left
your
nice
homes
to
come
to
this
meeting
and
and
what
I'm
trying
to
do
is
is
keep
the
people
off
the
street
from
bring
it
into
your
cars
and
your
homes
while
you're.
Here
we,
we
have
a
lot
of
success
stories
at
Turning,
Point
we're
the
only
homeless,
shelter
that
take
people
in
that
are
inebriated.
M
We
give
them
30
days
of
stabilization
and
try
moving
to
the
next
phase
of
their
treatment.
I
also
have
a
able
to
hire
people
that
went
through
turning
point
to
be
able
to
be
productive
citizens
and
work
for
for
turning
point.
I
have
one
staff
who's
been
through
20.7
12
times
and
and
she's
been
working
14
years.
Another
staff
who
went
through
20.7
times
and
she's
been
with
me
for
about
four
years.
M
M
So
so,
if
you
allow
me
to
to
do
it
by
helping
me
with
the
funding,
I
would
love
to
help
change
some
lives
for
you
when
we
get
about
12
to
15
percent
from
Clearwater
area
class
at
a
time
and
so
a
success
rate
in
healthy.
You
know,
of
course
it
could
be
better.
They
have
to
want
it
too,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
people
who
show
them
what
it
would
be
like
on
the
other
side,
so
that
they
can
also
be
a
productive
member
of
society.
Thank
you.
C
Couple
quick
questions
from
your
application:
you
state
that
there
are
three
phases
of
the
treatment.
What
do
you
have
any
results
on
the
number
of
folks
who
move
from
phase
one
to
phase
two
and
three.
M
The
fake
the
first
one
is
pretty
much
detoxing
them
and
giving
them
a
place
to
sleep,
food,
shelter,
clothing
and
that
lasts
us
up
about
three
to
five
days
after
three
days.
We
we
do
a
screaming
on
them
and
ask
them
if
they're
willing
to
go
to
the
next
phase,
which
is
pretty
much
going
through
groups,
teaching
them
about
twist
up
recovery
having
them
get
stabilized,
and
the
third
phase
is
moving
them
out
to
look
for
jobs.
M
M
To
the
third
phase
of
treatment,
so
you
know
some
some
of
the
times
the
police
officers
bring
them
in.
They
did
three
days.
They
sober
up
that
night.
They
say,
I,
don't
want
this
place,
yet
you
know,
but
we
also,
we
also
can
allow
them
to
come
back
as
many
times
as
they
need
to
come
back
to
complete.
It
so
depends,
but
about
80
percent
that
show
up
stay
for
the
second
phase
and
move
into
the
third
phase.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
N
O
But
what
we're
talking
about
here
is
100
families
and
this
grant
the
money
set
aside
to
be
able
to
help
100
families
through
navigation
and
that's
something
that
we've
already
been
doing
for
a
while
with
multiple
Navigators
across
the
counties,
but
just
in
Saint
Pete
alone
and
a
little
bit
in
green
water,
Us
Greenwood
we've
been
able
to
help
over
40
families
since
January
prevent
homelessness
since
just
this
quarter.
So
that's
the
effectiveness
we've
had
with
the
few
people
that
we
have
to
add.
Another
Navigator
would
be
a
tremendous
impact
for
this
culture.
O
I
mean
for
this.
This
community
we
see
the
statistics
is
more
than
one
out
of
every
10.
Families
are
in
poverty
in
Clearwater
and
in
Greenwood
alone,
33
percent
of
the
children
live
in
childhood
poverty
and
we
have
a
plan
to
fix
that
to
fix
at
least
put
a
dent
in
it
through
our
navigation,
our
Navigators
work
alongside
families,
they
help
them
with
rental
assistance
and
utility
assistance.
O
But
that's
like
remember
the
old
cartoons
when
there's
a
hole
in
the
boat
and
you
stick
your
finger
in
and
another
hole
comes
up
to
prevent
the
other
holes
from
coming
up.
What
we
have
that
sets
us
apart
is
a
self-sufficiency
plan
and
our
self-sufficiency
plan.
We
connect
those
families
to
case
management
Metro
at
large
here
in
Pinellas
County
and
some
of
the
people
at
the
mothership
that
we
call
the
main
office
in
Tampa.
We
connect
them
to
those
Services
there
with
many
different
ways:
food
sustainability,
which
last
year
we
fed
4.2
million
people.
O
Last
week
in
Greenwood
we
fed
over
two
we
gave
over
280
boxes
of
food
for
families.
We
also
have
mental
health
services
that
we
connect
people
with
shelter
services
for
a
limited
amount
of
families
who
were
able,
like
a
couple
weeks
ago,
we
had
a
mother
with
six
children
and
we
transferred
over,
so
she
could
receive
shelter,
care,
job
training
that
we're
starting
to
advance
here
in
Pinellas
County
through
culinary
arts
and
multiple
Partnerships,
so
I
believe
ours.
C
So,
thank
you
board
any
questions
on
this
program.
P
O
So
it's
for
a
navigator,
salary
and
benefits.
O
Was
554,
900
I
believe.

do
know
some
of
you
don't
pems
stands
for
personal
enrichment
through
Mental
Health
Services.
What
we
do.
We
have
actually
two
adult
crisis
stabilization
unit
where
most
of
our
clients
are
unfortunately
coming
in
through
law
enforcement,
so
involuntarily,
as
well
as
a
children's
crisis
unit.
Another
campus
campus
of
ours
in
Largo
provides
Community
Services.
Q
The
grant
that
I
am
asking
the
funds
for
thirty.
Three
thousand
dollars
is
for
Access
system
to
our
crisis
units.
Currently,
this
is
what
we
use
keys
for
access
to
crisis
units.
Unfortunately,
this
is
not
a
safe
way
to
enter
any
longer.
As
we
all
know,
Keys
get
lost
at
times
our
employees
leave
do
not
return
keys,
so
we
have
to
make
Replacements
to
either
doors
or
the
you
know
Keys
themselves
having
a
such
a
incredibly
large
access
system.
That
would
allow
us
to
not
only
control
access
and
safety
to
our
building.
Q
Q
I
do
want
to
just
briefly
say
that
our
other
campus
has
applied
for
Public
Service
as
a
grant.
Our
community
director
was
not
able
to
be
present
today,
however,
I
do
know
it
was
for
navigator
as
well
for
the
Northwood
green
center.
Q
I
can
tell
you
that
they
have
so
far
had
98
success
rate.
They
already
have
a
navigator
funded
through
United
Way,
so
just
to
continue
services
that
the
offices
set
up.
The
person
has
set
up
they.
They
know
what
they're
already
working
with
they
have
their
client
base.
So
all
we're
asking
for
is
additional
funding
to
continue
services.
C
Side,
or
is
the
population
you're
serving
the
general
population,
or
do
they
have
to
have
a
work
with
you
under
the
mental
health
side?
No.
D
Q
Q
No,
no
so
law
enforcement
enforces
the
Baker
Act
brings
them
over
to
our
crisis
units
to
stabilize
them.
Normally
they
stay
with
us
for
72
hours.
However,
if
they
are
still
not
stable
within
that
period
of
time,
we
are
required
to
extend
the
Baker
Act
until
they
are
and
we
can
release
them
back
to.
C
A
Thank
you
good
morning,
everyone.
My
name,
is
Andrea
vendetti
I'm,
the
senior
program
manager
at
Lincoln,
Hispanic,
Outreach
Center,
and
this
is
yahaira
Blanco,
and
we
are
here
today
to
ask
your
support
to
continue
funding
our
youth
leadership
partnership
program.
This
program
brings
a
middle
school
students,
high
school
students
and
parents
together
in
a
very
culturally
and
applicable
environment
for
our
immigrant
families,
and
it
is
successful
because
eating
both
parents
and
we
provide
them
with
the
education
they
need
to
support
their
students
as
immigrants.
A
They
don't
know
very
well
how
to
support
these
students
in
pursuing
higher
education.
So
it's
just
28
2012
we
developed
this
program
and
with
the
support
of
the
sons
of
City
from
cdbj.
Last
year,
we
provided
services
for
25
families
and
the
curriculum
focuses
on
developing
relationships
and
opportunities.
They
need
in
the
family,
schools
and
communities,
and
also
in
developed
social,
emotional
strength,
balance
and
commitment.
S
The
ylp
program
has
helped
my
family,
especially
in
many
ideas,
and
my
mom
was
not
always
helped.
My
dad
is
actually
has
been
reported
and
I
have
been
just
helped
by
my
mom.
My
mom
has
supported
me
and
my
two
other
older
sisters,
who
were
not
here
today,
but
they're.
Also,
my
two
sisters
are
college
graduates.
C
T
T
Many
of
you
know
that
Kimberling
has
been
in
Clearwater
serving
the
community
and
the
surrounding
areas.
For
the
past
40
years
we
are
focused
mostly
on
pregnant
women
and
new
moms,
their
children
and
families.
We
have
a
counseling
center
and
an
education
program,
but
on
the
campus
we
also
have
housing,
as
well
as
our
child
care
center.
That's
right
on
the
property
as
well,
so
we
have
a
beautiful
campus
that
the
city
has
really
helped
us
along
the
way
to
to
develop.
T
Kimberly
home
is
really
focused
greatly
on
an
educational
piece
of
getting
moms
prepared
to
to
be
able
to
be
a
good
parent
to
child
first,
starting
with
pregnancy,
development,
rebirthing,
breastfeed,
anything
that
you
could
possibly
need
to
learn
about
pregnancy,
birthing
and
then
parenting
as
well.
Our
big
focus
in
the
past
several
years
has
been
housing,
homeless
or
homeless,
moms
or
those
at
risk
of
homelessness
when
he
gives
the
housing
director.
So
she
can
fill
you
in
on
what
happens
in
that
program.
So.
U
Within
the
Houston
program,
the
ladies
come
in
to
basically
be
re-established
they're
coming
in
for
help
they
they
need
help
with
lost.
So
we
do
collaborate
with
different
agencies
within
the
park
in
Partnership
within
the
community,
so
they
can
get
the
services
they
need.
Concerning
case
management,
we
partnered
with
the
Salvation
Army.
We
do
also
partner
with
their
Family
Partnership
Healthy
Families.
All
these
Services
provide
Case
Management
Services
for
us
to
assist
these,
ladies
as
they
come
in,
and
they
just
focus
on
reestablishing
their
life.
The
whole
goal
is
for
them
to
have
sustainability.
U
T
T
As
many
of
you
know,
most
babies
come
seem
to
come
in
the
middle
of
the
evening,
or
we
had
one
born
in
Hurricane
Ian
at
five
o'clock
in
the
morning,
with
no
power,
I'm
I'll
be
back
in
North
Korea
and
that
that
worked
out,
but
we've
been
without
that
that
position
for
most
of
last
year
and
all
of
that
burden
has
fallen
on
Monique
herself,
which
means
24,
7.
she's
been
weekends
nights
and
we
do
have
a
new
person.
Now
we
do
provide
the
live-in
expenses,
but
for
salary
support
across
support.
C
Thank
you,
or
do
you
have
any
questions
for
Kimberly
home?
C
V
Improvement
project
good
morning,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
so
hope.
Villages
we've
been
in
the
community
since
1967
serving
over
150
000
Pinellas
County
residents,
and
we
do
that
in
a
number
of
different
ways.
Our
food
bank,
which
assists
about
80
some
sub
sites
which
are
mini
pantries
across
the
county.
V
Writing
legal
Advocates
will
help
assist
them
with
injunctions
in
the
court
filing
restraining
orders
and
then
also
relocation
as
well
so
for
the
two
applications
that
we
applied
for
first
is
our
HVAC
project.
With
at
the
food
bank,
we
requested
ninety
five
thousand
dollars
to
help
fund
that
HVAC
project,
which
is,
is
critical.
Obviously,
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
ventilation
in
the
food
bank
to
ensure
that
our
food
we're
giving
out
the
best
fresh
food
to
our
participants
in
need
and
then
also
two.
V
V
So
participant
of
the
Haven,
we
need
Advocates
to
assist
survivors
like
Cassandra,
getting
on
her
feet,
getting
on
their
feet,
getting
on
the
path
to
self-sufficiency,
making
sure
we
give
them
the
tools
and
resources
that
they
need.
So
that
way
they
do
not
go
back
to
their
abusers
and
then
also
make
sure
we're
meeting
the
needs
of
their
personal
goals,
whether
it's
getting
their
children
back.
We
want
to
be
in
the
position
to
do
that
and
Advocates.
They
really
handle
that,
and
it's
really
crucial
and
critical
to
the
success
of
our
survivors.
P
Good
morning,
thank
you
for
having
me
last
name
is
m-a-s-t-r-o-d-o-n-a-t-o.
I
am
a
program
manager
at
we
care,
and
we
are
excited
at
the
prospect
of
being
able
to
work
with
Clearwater
to
help
bridge
the
funding
Gap
with
child
care.
Currently
right
now
there
are
21
925
women
not
participating
in
the
workforce
here
in
Clearwater,
and
that
creates
a
child
care
gap
of
2965,
which
is
equivalent
to
185
new
providers
that
could
be
establishing
micro
Enterprises.
P
Here,
as
you
know,
there's
been
a
significant
barrier
with
child
care,
and
the
covid-19
epidemic
has
only
exasperated
some
of
those
challenges
where
families
are
having
to
decide.
Do
they
work
or
does
someone
stay
home
and
generally
it
is
the
mother
that
has
to
stay
home
and
that's
creating
an
equitable
situations
at
home
for
housing
and
inequality
in
child.
Excuse
me
inside
the
workplace,
so
we
want
to
help
address
those
challenges
by
ensuring
that
the
city
of
Clearwater
has
the
opportunity
for
most
of
those
women
in
particular
to
get
back
into
the
workforce.
P
Obviously,
if
we're
able
to
strengthen
those
businesses,
then
a
lot
of
other
parents
will
have
the
opportunity
to
put
their
children
in
care
which
would
be
the
low
to
moderate
income
population,
which
majority
of
the
providers
that
are
given
the
care.
They're,
also
part
of
that
population,
the
email
that
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
create
or
retain
400
jobs
and
help
one
thousand
businesses.
P
And
what
we
would
like
to
do
with
the
funding,
is
to
focus
on
30
of
the
most
focused
micro
Enterprises,
and
that
will
help
them
either
again
go
from
an
eight
to
a
14
in
terms
of
having
children
there.
And
we
can
scale
that
up
as
necessary
and
for
by
being
able
to
provide
that
care
to
the
community
that
can
give
you
9
to
30
new
positions
that
are
going
to
help
boost
your
Economic
Development,
because
now
families
are
able
to
go
back
to
work.
P
We've
been
reaching
out
to
some
of
the
local
providers
in
the
community
because
we
have
not
touched
here,
but
we
are
with
partnering
in
Tampa
and
St
Petersburg,
but
they're
excited
I,
have
the
opportunity
to
potentially
partner
and
receive
some
of
this
funding
to
be
able
to
support
them.
We
help
establish
businesses,
the
business
practices,
how
to
do
budgets,
how
to
do
the
marketing
for
them.
So
then
the
people
around
them
knew
that
they're
available
and
ready
to
give
out
that
care.
So
we
don't
just
give
the
money
to
them
as
they
go.
P
Are
new
to
Clear
Water
we
haven't
walked
into
Clearwater,
however,
we
are
in
Tampa
and
St
Petersburg.
There
are
providers
that
are
there,
and
so,
as
our
research
team
looks
to
see
exactly
where
they
the
need,
is
we
establish
that
there's
a
lot
of
Need
for
affordable
housing
and
a
lot
of
the
micro
Enterprises
like
family
child
care
providers?
They
were
saying
like
we
want
to
continue
having
our
own
businesses,
but
we
don't
have
the
funding
or
the
know-how
to
stay
in
business.
So
that's
why
we
are
here
so.
C
P
Exact
target
population
for
the
first
30
would
be
existing
family
child
care
micro
Enterprises
because
they
already
have
those
businesses.
We
want
to
be
able
to
save
them.
If
there
is
only
one
child
there,
then
it's
very
hard
to
keep
the
lights
on
and
to
feed
and
to
justify
staying
open.
So
that
would
be
our
Target
at
first
and
those
are
located
in
low
to
moderate
income.
P
P
P
I
was
like
there's
no
way.
This
is
correct.
Yes,
it's
correct
and
that's
that
Gap
worth
them
having
to
keep
their
children
home
is
that's
2965
and
if
we're
able
to
support
them
and
we've
seen
it
in
other
places
where
they
can,
they
Branch
out
and
say,
look
what
they're
doing
for
us
and
we
know
easily.
You
can
end
up
with
a
hundred
thin
micro
Enterprises
and
it's
a
lot
cheaper
and
affordable
for
family
child
care
versus
a
child
care
center.
D
So
really,
if
we
were
to
fund
your
request,
we
would
be
helping
both
the
families
that
are
trying
to
find
child
care
that
can't
find
child
care,
as
well
as
the
companies,
the
small
businesses
that
have
started
either
a
long
time
ago.
Recently
that
could
barely
keep
the
lights
on,
because
they
don't
have
enough
kids
that
they're
taking
care.
P
Of
that
is
correct,
and
we
by
doing
that
again
we
market
for
the
provider
and
then
we
do
some
Outreach
and
just
kind
of
put
some
marketing
and
commercials
out.
There
say:
hey
we're
here
where
there's
signs
in
their
front
yard
at
the
schools,
then
we'll
go
ahead
and
do
that
to
make
sure
that
they're
supported.
Thank.
F
P
Yes,
I
have
a
few
I,
we
have
the
research
team,
but
when
we
started
they
were
having
roughly
two
to
five
enrollments
and
now
we
have
helped
them
establish
to
become
larger
daycare.
Centers
are
family,
child
care
centers
and
they
have
14.
P
so
there,
but
there
are
scattered
between
Tampa
and
but
there's
a
98
success
rate
and
generally
the
people
that
don't
stay
is
they
feel
like
they
can
do
it
on
their
own
and
they
feel,
like
you
know
they
they're
and
that's
great,
because
then
that
means
we've
been
our
job.
The
other
would
stay
just
because
it
is
a
little
bit
more
helpful
for
us
to
help
them
with
their
taxes
to
help
them
find
out
new
trends
that
are
going
on
in
the
child
care
system.
So
they
stay
connected
with
us.
C
R
Oh,
it's
fast
we're
based
here
in
St,
Petersburg
we've
been
around
and
we
have
offices
in
Hillsborough,
County,
Sarasota,
County
and
Manatee
as
well.
Our
main
office
is
here
in
Pinellas.
We've
been
this
year,
is
45
years
of
providing
free
civil,
legal
assistance
to
our
neighbors
and
community
members
who
are
low
income
and
vulnerable
and
in
need
of
legal
help.
So
we
I'm
here
today
we're
seeking
funding
in
support
of
our
housing
Legal
Services
project.
R
Our
staff
is
able,
through
this
funding,
we
provide.
My
amazing
housing
team,
provides
free
civil
Legal
Aid
on
housing
matters
for
income
eligible
Clearwater
residents.
All
of
the
clients
earn
all
of
the
clients
who
come
forward
and
who
are
eligible
for
services
earn
under
80
percent
of
the
medium
income,
but
most
of
our
clients
are
under
50
of
the
area
media
income
and
in
fiscal
year.
With
this
funding
and
fiscal
year,
21
to
22
our
team,
assisted
25
households
through
the
cdbg
funding.
R
We
are
our
staff
works
on
a
variety
of
housing
issues
made
recently.
The
evictions
defense
has
been
the
the
primary
source
that
folks
are
coming
forward
for
assistance.
They
may
also
help
with
fair
housing
issues
and
subsidized
housing
and
then
also,
if
there's
some
Financial
stability
assistance
needed.
So
if
their
health,
if
the
client's
having
issues
with
a
creditor
or
some
other
issues,
we
have
a
financial
stability
team
that
can
step
in
as
well.
R
If
you
increase
with
the
the
end
of
covid
relief
funds
and
Rental
at
least
moratoriums
we're
seeing
an
increase
in
requests
for
housing
assistance,
so
we
do
meet.
While
we
have
a
main
office
in
St
Pete,
we
provide
community
lawyering.
So
we
try
to
meet
clients
if
it's
more
accessible,
obviously
Pinellas
County,
it's
very
hard
to
navigate,
sometimes
the
traffic.
R
So,
just
as
some
examples
most
recently,
our
staff
helped
with
the
residents
of
the
Capri
Mobile,
Home
Park
and
also
the
Westchester
apartments.
They
were
able
to
help
and
step
in
when
those
folks
needed
assistance.
With
this
funding,
we
are
our
goal:
we're
asking
for
thirty,
seven
thousand
two
hundred
and
thirteen
dollars
this
year
with
the
goal
of
helping
35
clients
and
households
to
avoid
eviction,
as
we
know,
of
avoiding
that
eviction
or
having
an
eviction
on
on
the
record
can
lead
to
devastating
consequences,
just
a
spiraling
effect
for
for
clients.
R
C
W
Thank
you
good
morning.
My
name
is
foreign
and
I
am
the
vice
president
for
the
West
Coast
of
Florida
of
Bruce
beta.
We
are
a
non-profit,
Economic,
Development
organization
that
helps
Hispanic
entrepreneurs
and
businesses
to
start
establish
themselves,
grow
and
sustain
I've
been
around
for
over
31
years.
We've
been
doing
working
here
in
Canal,
specifically
in
the
city
of
Clearwater.
W
We
we
offer
our
four
basic
Services.
We
do
seminars
we're
doing
concerts,
we're
constantly
seminars
here
in
in
Clearwater
as
well
we're
doing
as
well
as
all
around
in
Tampa
Bay.
We
do
one-on-one
consultations
in
order
to
make
it
easier
for
for
Clear
Water
residents.
We've
actually
been
coming
here
and
doing
doing
them
here
in-house,
even
though
we
don't
have
any
full-time,
and
we
are
looking.
We've
been
looking
forward
for
the
last
couple
years
to
try
to
hire
somebody
to
be
able
to
to
have
here
and
full
time
so
we're
getting
there.
W
Also,
we
offer
our
business
clients,
which
are
you
know
we
offer
make
sure
that
that
when
the
business
starts
here
you
know
these
people
are
coming
usually
recently
arrived
or
maybe
first
generation
that
are
still
trying
to
understand
how
business
is
done
here
in
the
U.S.
That's
what
we
teach
them.
We
not
only
teach
them
how
to
do
business,
but
how
to
do
business
in
the
US,
which
is
different.
Being
a
previous
business
owner
down,
South
America
I
understand
the
differences
and
a
lot
of
things
for
granted,
but
yeah.
W
W
Think
it's
an
80
more
probability
of
Hispanic
with
the
own
business
to
make
over
a
hundred
thousand
versus
if
you're
you're
working
for
somebody,
so
not
only
is
it
is
it
just
makes
Financial
I
mean
it
makes
Financial
sense
for
for
a
business
owner
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
just
maintain
those
businesses
that
are
open
here,
I
believe
three
out
of
five
businesses
don't
make
it
to
the
second
year
and
then
after
that,
I
believe
it's
out
of
those
two
don't
make
it
to
the
fifth
year.
W
W
I
believe
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
it's
over
30
30
businesses.
Last
year
we
saw
49
I
believe,
but
then
again
it's
it's
not
one
of
those
businesses.
We
see
a
couple
of
times
now,
two
three
four
times
a
good
process.
So
it's
not
a
one
one
type
thing:
yeah.
W
We
have
we
have
our
CRM
system
that
we've
been
carrying
for
a
few
years
and
yeah.
We
can
see
how
many
jobs
were
created
with
the
household
income,
how
that
has
been
advancing.
Obviously
it's
it's
like
I
said
it's
not
a
one-time
thing.
You
have
to
go,
you
have
to
you
work
and
they
become
clients,
and
you
know
we
work
with
them
free
for
many
years.
W
D
D
F
C
H
Good
morning
my
name
is
Zachary
white
w-h-I-t-e,
the
Executive
Vice
President,
with
Hep
the
homeless
empowerment
program.
I'm.
Here
today
to
address
the
proposal,
we
submitted
the
request
in
regards
to
salary
support
for
a
housing,
Navigator,
Hep
and
ship
with
the
city
of
Clearwater.
In
addition
to
Pinellas,
County
is
now
one
of
the,
if
not
the
largest
provider
for
homeless
families,
and
so
we
have
expanded
our
family
shelter
program
and
that
collaborative
involves
ancillary
supports
regard.
H
Substance,
abuse,
dental
clinic,
an
entire
array
of
services,
not
not
too
exclude
our
employment
program.
We
have
an
ever-expanding
vocational
Employment
Program
that
is
making
a
significant
impact
in
the
community
in
terms
of
streamlined,
expedited
employment
opportunities
within
specific
targeted
Industries
to
gainful
wages,
up
opportunities
for
employment
sustainability
for
these
families,
and
so
our
request
is
for
salary.
Support
of
a
housing
navigate
assist
the
not
only
the
families,
but
the
individuals
residing
within
our
emergency
shelter
program
to
quickly
identify
permanent
Housing
Solutions
in
the
community
and
utilize.
H
C
H
So,
just
to
clarify,
in
terms
of
numbers,
we're
looking
at
serving
150
people
or
below
30
percent
average
median
income
with
a
total
of
64
households
and,
as
I
mentioned
in
collaboration
with
the
city
and
the
county,
we're
now
poised
to
house
and
assist
52
families
per
year,
and
we
hope
to
exceed
those
numbers
as
well.
A
housing
Navigator
would
certainly
expedite
many
of
these
cases
and
resolve
these
homeless
episodes
in
a
much
much
more
timely
fashion.
Thank
you.
Danny.
D
H
We're
we're
finding
success
in
either
transitioning
those
individuals
or
families
out
of
shelter
into
our
permanent
housing
or
securing
housing
out
in
the
community.
Transitional
housing
model
is
largely
phasing
out
I'd,
say
from
a
federal
perspective
and
alignment
with
housing.
First,
a
lot
of
the
Automotive
statutes,
quite
frankly,
have
kind
of
created
an
adverse
impact
in
regards
to
having
transitional
housing
models
and
how
that
relates
to
Florida
tenant
law.
H
So
then,
we
wind
up
with
tenants
that
Plain
Road
of
Tennessee-
and
you
know
it's
just
not
what
it
used
to
be
in
terms
of
attainable
housing
program.
C
X
You
Ellen
Stouffer,
s-t-o-f-f-e-r
I
am
the
vice
president
of
operations
for
Suncoast
Housing
Connections
Suncoast
has
been
around
for
40
years
on
providing
services
in
that
time
to
over
66
000
Pinellas
County
residents,
and
we
have
had
a
long
time.
Partnership
with
the
city
of
Clearwater
I'm
here
today
asking
for
continued
support
for
our
home
buyer,
education
and
counseling
program,
as
well
as
a
continuing
partnership
in
providing
the
administration
of
the
down
payment
assistance
program.
Excuse
me
for
the
city's
down
payment
program.
X
Our
goal
is
to
assist
clients
in
becoming
informed
home
buyers
based
on
their
situation,
income,
credit
debt.
We
determine
affordability
and
we
guide
them
as
to
what
home
price
is
right
for
them.
We
do
not
want
to
see
people
becoming
housing
burdened
when
they
go
to
purchase
a
home
housing
burden
of
those
people
I'm,
sorry,
whose
housing
costs
take
up
more
than
30
percent
of
their
total
family
income.
X
That
puts
them
in
a
very
precarious
situation,
so
how
we
do
that
is
through
the
provision
of
the
services
that
we
offer
as
a
fully
HUD
approved
counseling
agency,
homebuyer
education,
an
eight
hour
home
buyer
education
class
that
takes
everything
from.
Are
they
ready
to
buy
a
home
to
okay,
you've
got
the
home.
How
do
you
maintain
the
home
to
financial
education,
basic
money,
management,
I?
Think
probably
everybody
in
this
room
could
benefit
from
basic
money
management.
These
people
specifically,
so
we
do
offer
a
financial
Fitness
class.
X
X
Unfortunately,
the
flip
side
is.
We
also
offer
foreclosure
prevention
counseling,
because
some
people
do
find
themselves
in
a
situation
where
they
own
the
home.
They
can
no
longer
make
the
payments,
we
assist
them
working
with
their
lenders
to
see
if
we
can
get
a
workout
to
keep
them
in
that
home,
because
we
know
having
them
move
out,
creates
a
whole
another
set
of
issues,
the
down
payment.
Administration
again
we
do
the
income,
certifications
and
the
underwriting
for
the
applications
that
come
in
through
the
city
of
Clearwater.
X
So
in
fiscal
year
22,
which
is
our
last
complete
year,
we
provided
homebuyer
education
to
90
Clearwater
residents,
counseling
to
19
down
payment
assistance
loans.
We
did
we
completed
eight,
we
had
more
but
we're
able
to
be
closed
and
we
helped
eight
people
become
citizens
of
Clearwater
County
and,
although,
in
the
time
we've
been
doing
this
technically,
what
we
do
is
not
changed.
The
needs
of
our
clients
have
definitely
changed.
X
We've
heard
it
said
from
everybody:
we've
talked
about
housing,
affordability
and
I
want
to
put
some
numbers
around
that
in
February,
the
Pinellas
Realtors
organization
had
the
median
sales
price
of
the
home
in
Pinellas
County
at
430
000,
which
is
up
4.6.
At
the
same
time,
last
year,
912
new
listings
occurred
in
February
down
11
percent
and
77
772
homes
closed,
which
is
80
lower
than
last
year.
At
the
same
time,
so
we
are
looking
at
an
inventory
and
a
sales
price
issue.
X
What
that's
resulted
in
is
clients,
who've,
come
to
us
and
typically
come
and
they
stay
with
us
for
maybe
two
three
months.
We
give
them
the
education,
we
help
them
with
their
down
pay
and
they
move
they're,
not
staying
with
us
longer
they're
coming
back
to
us
more
for
emotional
support
because
they
can't
find
a
home
they've
done.
Everything
we've
asked
to
do.
They
can't
find
a
home
and
they're
coming
to
us
who
are
our
time
with
our
clients
is
lasting,
longer
and
longer
and
longer,
and
unfortunately
we
don't
have
the
answers.
X
I,
don't
think
any
one
of
us
in
this
room
have
the
answers,
but
we
don't
know
we
don't
know
when
it's
going
to
change
if
it's
going
to
change
and
how
it's
going
to
change.
But
we
know
that
our
goal
at
Suncoast
is
no
matter
how
long
it
takes
we're
going
to
be
there
to
help
them
to
successfully
complete
their
journey
to
home
ownership.
G
G
X
X
What
tends
to
happen
is
things
haven't
occurred
that
we
thought
so
we
have
to
go
back
and
you
know
they've
already
had
an
inspection,
but
the
city
wants
another
inspection
for
a
different
level
inspection.
So
it
does
vary.
I
know
that
for
us,
when
a
down
payment
application
comes
in
it's
a
priority,
so
we
get
it
to
the
down
payment
assistance
person.
They
know
it's
a
priority
and
they
start
working
with
the
Clearwater
team
to
make
sure
that
we
can
get
it
through
as
quickly
as
possible.
G
How
many
people
are
processing
right
now,
your
down
payment?
It
is
that
dedicated
just
for
clear
water,
or
is
that.
X
G
There
and
then
my
one
other
question
is
when
the
down
payment
assistance,
when
they're
going
through
pre-purchase
counseling,
are
the
counselors
making
recommendations
for
partners
in
real
estate
or
partners
and
lending,
and
and
is
that
list
public
or
how
do
people
get
on
such
a
list?.
X
X
If
you
I,
don't
know
that
we
actually,
we
know
who
we've
worked
with
I
mean
we
don't
hand
them.
We
give
them
probably
four
or
five
games
and
we
tell
them
to
call
them
all.
It
looks
like
shopping
for
anything
else.
You
want
to
pick
the
right
person
to
be
able
to
help
you
through
the
process,
so
we
don't
have
a
list
so
to
speak,
because
we
also
know
that
in
your
Fields
people
move
around
to
different
entities.
So
we
may
say
that
Robin
today.
B
X
X
All
the
time
too,
make
sure
you're
working
with
members
of
your
team
who
know
about
a
lot
of
moderate
income
who
know
about
the
down
payment
assistance
programs,
because
a
lot
of
it's
a
specialty
and
being
able
to
provide
that
support
is
critical.
So
we
say
it
and
then,
when
they
come
to
us,
if
they
come
to
us
for
counseling,
we
reinforce
it
by
giving
them
that
list
of
names
that
we
know
we
work
have
worked
with
and
understand.
The
process.
C
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
appreciate
that
next
up
is
Tampa
Bay
Neighborhood
Housing
Services,
recently
known
as
the
Clearwater
Neighborhood
Housing
services.
They
also
will
present
on
applications
for
purchase
assistance
and
homeowner
education
and
counseling,
we'll
be
hearing
from
Roger
raber
Mr
Rayburn
You
will
have
five
minutes
to
present.
Y
Good
morning,
I'm
Roger
Rayburn
from
Tampa
Bay
Neighborhood
Housing
Services
are
a
y
b.
U
r,
n
I
love
filing
do
in
these
kind
of
meetings,
just
because
of
the
spelling
of
our
agency's
name,
because
I
can
often
walk
up
and
go
ditto
because
it
is
very
similar
to
what
they
do
is
what
we
do
as
well.
Y
So
with
that
being
said,
I'd
like
to
add
that,
let
me
just
give
you
an
example
is
that
there
was
a
guy
who
came
to
see
as
her
name
was
Jackie
no
I
love
Jackie
was
great
and
Jackie
came
to
us
and
she
was
paying
40
to
50
percent
of
her
income
for
rent
and
she
works
at
Costco
and
was
having
to
drive
a
really
good
distance
to
get
there,
and
so
she
we
met
with
her.
We
started
working
on
her
credit.
Y
Y
Y
Now
she
walks
out
of
Costco,
looks
imagine
walking
out
of
Costco
looking
to
your
right
to
the
condos,
that's
where
she
lives,
and
so
she
just
walks
back
and
forth
to
work
now
her
her
mortgage
with
taxes,
insurance
is
now
below
30
percent
of
her
income
to
work,
she's
able
to
be
to
to
Really
present
herself
or
get
herself
ready
for
for
future
and
I.
Think
that's
a
big
piece
of
what
we
do.
Y
We
are
in
the
Greenwood
area.
We
historically
have
worked
in
that
area
in
that
area
for
over
40
years,
and
so,
but
we
know
the
need
is
just
as
great
all
across
the
city,
and
so
that's
why
we
do
what
we
do,
because
we
believe
that
we
believe
in
generational
wealth.
We
believe
the
number
one
way
to
generational
wealth
is
through
home
ownership.
That
is
what
we
do.
E
I'm
going
to
ask
Lindsay's
question
I'm
coming
anyway:
yeah
somebody
comes
to
you
and
they
want
some
down
payment
assistance.
What
is
the
time
frame.
Y
Y
Know
it
up
front
because
we
can
often
get
it
done
in
30
days
or
so,
but
we
may
take
a
little
bit
longer
because
of
everything.
Ellen
mentioned
things
happen,
things
come
up,
and
so
we
say,
let's
give
us
six
weeks
just
two
more
weeks
and
you
normally
write
the
contract
and
so
45
days
is
usually
what
we
can
bust
through
without
any
problem
and.
Y
Yeah
with
the
lenders
we
have
great
communication
matter
of
fact,
like
I
had
I
had
calls
with
two
different
lenders.
Yesterday,
speaking
about
their
products,
we're
always
trying
to
stay
on
top
of
what
they
have
available
and
again,
how
can
we
layer
it
when
I
was
a
kid?
There
was
a
commercial
for
McDonald's
I
talked
about
the
Big
Mac
Big
Mac
was
made
of
2lb
Patty
special
sauce
for
their
cheeseburgers
haven't.
Had
some
of
you
guys
know
that
so.
M
Y
Look
at
is
who's
paying
for
the
pickle
who's
paying
for
the
bullet.
How
can
we
get
those
things
all
together
and
so
spending
a
lot
of
time
with
lenders
is
what
we
do
so
as
to
Lindsay's
question.
Before,
do
we
have
a
list
we
kind
of?
Do
we
actually
do
say
these
are
the
lenders
that
we
are
aware
of
that
have
worked
hand
in
hand
with
these
programs
and
know
how
to
do
it
and
get
you
to
the
other
side.
G
And
I
think
where
the
questions
came
just
opposite,
because
we
had
made
recommendations
to
the
city
about
their
down
payment
assistance
program,
because
there
was
a
lack
of
people
being
able
to
actually
use
the
program
because
of
the
hurdles
it
was
creating
with
time
with
processing
it,
and
that
was
becoming
a
big
issue.
We
have
seen
some
improvements,
so
we
were
trying
to
see,
especially
when
it
came
to
the
inspections
when
that
inspection
was
ordered
and
I
know,
they've
made
some
changes
and
some
recommendations.
Y
In
the
month
of
March,
we
did
three.
We
are
working
on
three
right
now
as
we
speak.
So
it's
working.
Let
me
just
say
that
I
applaud
what
they're
doing
at
the
housing
department
there,
because
they
have
just
really
come
alongside
and
said:
hey
guys,
Let's
Travel,
let's
see
how
we
can
do.
How
can
we
get
this
quicker?
How
can
we
make
this
go
faster
and
how
can
we
serve
folks
and
they're
always
open
for
questions?
Y
I
met
with
them
just
Tuesday
of
last
week,
Wednesday
last
week
wanted
to
to
talk
about
that
and
figure
out
some
ways
that
we
can
do
some
other
things.
The
last
thing
I
will
mention
is
that
we
also,
we
do
believe
and
to
answer
your
question,
you
were
saying
you
were
hoping
that
she
had
the
answer
and
the
answer
is
in
this
room.
It's
in
this
room,
I'm
hearing
from
everyone
in
here
saying,
there's
a
problem
I'm
hearing
from
everyone
in
here
we
want
a
solution.
Y
Y
We
have
six
homes
right
now
under
permit
that
we're
building
in
the
Greenwood
area,
and
these
are
going
to
be
they're,
going
to
have
the
down
payment
assistance
attached
to
them
and
then,
following
that
and
building
we're
working
hand
in
hand
with
Habitat
for
Humanity
to
build
24,
Town
Halls,
all
solar
powered,
pretty
cool,
and
so
we're
excited
about
that
project,
we'll
be
getting
that
underway
later
this
year.
It's
a
piece
of
the
pie,
that's
how
we're
getting
there.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
appreciate
your
time
today.
Y
Our
next
presenters
are
Lynn
Tucker
and
Mike
Smith,
with
our
club
child
care,
they're,
presenting
on
a
facility
Improvement
program.
Z
AA
And
I'm
Lynn
Tucker
I'm
the
Strategic
initiatives
director
and
it's
t-u-c-k-e-r
and
Michael
I'll
start
off
and
then
I'll
give
Mike
the
mic
so
that
he
can
talk
about
the
project
so
good
morning.
We're
here.
Our
club,
Child
Care,
provides
child
care
and
youth
development
services
to
approximately
5
000
children
annually
specific
to
this
project,
a
request
is
for
sixty
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
and
twenty
seven
dollars
for
safety
improvements
to
make
improvements
on
child
care
or
on
our
playground.
Facilities
at
our
club,
particularly
one
playground.
AA
Our
Gateway
preschool
provides
high
quality
child
care
to
47
children
from
families
experiencing
homelessness,
domestic
violence
and
other
hardships.
Many
of
them
are
Financial
hardships.
100
percent
of
our
enrolled
families
are
low
to
moderate
income
and
are
eligible
for
child
care
subsidies
through
Head
Start
and
the
Early
Learning
Coalition.
AA
Our
low-income
families
have
access
to
high
quality
Early
Learning,
their
children
are
better
prepared
for
kindergarten
and
they're
more
successful
when
they
enter
kindergarten,
prepare
to
complete
high
school.
So
there's
a
lot
of
research
on
that
Mike
will
give
you
more
details
on
what's
needed
at
the
playground.
Z
It's
kind
of
specifically
before
a
toddler
playground,
they're
going
to
be
removing
the
existing
playground,
equipment,
the
rubber
surface
and
there's
four
trees
on
there
right
now
that
need
what
has
happened
as
the
tree
roots
of
power
underneath
their
Rubber,
and
it
makes
it
very
wobbly
and
unsafe
for
toddlers
to
walk
and
then
reinstall
install
a
18
by
40,
hip,
roof,
shade,
shelter,
license
and
requirements
and
replace
the
current
equipment.
And
then
we
install
new
lever
safety
or
rubber
surface.
AA
So
one
thing
that
we
know
from
National
research
is
for
there's
a
strong
return
on
investment
for
early
learning,
so
for
every
dollar
you
get
nine
to
twelve
dollars
return
through
the
Journey
of
that
child
through
the
education
system,
and
this
would
equate
to
in
public
dollars,
564
543
to
752
000..
So
that's
her
pitch.
C
So
we
appreciate
everything
you
do.
Is
there
a
question
from
any
of
the.
G
That
particular
playground
and
for
the
whole
facility
what
two
months.
AB
AB
Our
request
and
I
will
start
with
just
a
brief
bit
about
who
we
are.
We
have
a
long-standing
history
with
the
city,
so
I
believe
you
may
know
us,
but
we
are
a
trauma-informed
behavioral
health
center,
so
we've
been
around
since
1982,
where
we
just
celebrated
our
41
year
anniversary
and
we
primarily
provide
services
to
our
community
under
three
umbrellas.
We
have
what
we
call
our
housing
first
division,
which
is
all
about
trying
to
prevent
homelessness,
divert
from
from
homelessness,
particularly
with
families
with
young
children
as
well
as
rapid,
rehousing.
AB
Another
umbrella
that
we
have
is
called
Families
First,
so
we're
helping
those
who
may
be
at
risk
of
interaction
with
the
child
welfare
system
right
so
we're
helping
with
parenting
classes,
substance,
misuse
and
other
things
along
those
lines,
and
our
third
big
umbrella,
which
is
honestly
kind
of
our
historical
core
service
line.
Is
our
mental
health
services
so
we're
providing
counseling
Psychiatry
we're
doing
so
much
more
than
just
clinic-based
Services?
AB
We
do
those
and
we
do
them
well,
but
we're
also
out
in
the
community
a
lot
more
we're
co-located
with
the
Department
of
Health
with
the
school
system.
We
have
a
really
Innovative
unique
contract
just
about
school
violence,
to
try
to
prevent
things
like
school
shootings
with
the
Pinellas
County
school
system,
so
we're
doing
a
whole
lot
of
good
for
the
community
and
our
main
Center.
AB
Our
our
headquarters
is
on
Belcher
Road
in
Clearwater
and
over
the
past
several
years,
we've
really
made
a
concerted
effort
to
try
to
completely
revise
you
know
it's
a
very
old
building
built
in
the
60s
and
so
we're
trying
to
really
make
it
reflect
the
services
we're
providing
and
really
make
it
that
state-of-the-art
trauma-informed.
You
know
wellness
and
Recovery
Center,
so
clients
come
to
us
for
things
like
therapy
appointment,
Psychiatry
appointment.
They
can
get
their
medications
on
site.
AB
We
have
a
pharmacy,
so
we're
seeing
hundreds
of
Pinellas
County
Clearwater
residents
coming
through
our
building
every
single
day
and
a
couple
of
things
that
are
next.
That
really
need
to
be
addressed
are
our
flooring
and
something
called
kind
of
a
cap
on
our
half
wall
around
our
building.
So
our
flooring
is
over
10
years
old.
It
is
really
reflecting,
wear
and
tear
it's
not
taking
to
cleaning
very
well.
AB
It's
really
not
providing
that
safe,
healthy
healing
environment
that
really
we
really
want
our
clients
to
have
when
they
come
in,
especially
to
speak
about
things
like
severe
trauma
that
they've
encountered.
We
want
them
to
really
be
able
to
relax
and
feel
safe
and
welcome
so
our
flooring
that
we've
requested
our
total
project
amount
is
89
914
dollars
and
will
cover
the
partial
replacement
of
our
flooring.
AB
So
we
will
be
replacing
the
high
traffic
areas
in
our
lobbies
with
a
higher
quality,
vinyl
flooring
and
then
our
office
spaces
again
with
a
high
quality
kind
of
carpet-based
flooring.
These
will
be
more
durable,
be
able
to
be
cleaned
and
again
just
kind
of
reflect
the
the
up-to-date
right
high
quality
services
that
we're
providing.
So
that's
the
flooring
and
then
we
also
have
the
cap
of
our
household.
We
just
recently
invested
in
kind
of
the
half
wall
which
protects
our
building.
AB
It's
a
three-story
building
again
we
have
about
200
employees
and
then
hundreds
more
clients
every
single
day
coming
through
the
total
number
who
will
benefit
from
this
project,
12
340
people
and
the
heifer
we
just
recently
replaced,
which
is
great,
but
the
contractor
that
did
work.
The
work
identified
that
we're
really
at
risk
because
it's
this
is
a
little
out
of
my
jurisdiction,
but
it's
a
pair
of
pet
law,
so
it's
exposed
on
three
sides
and
apparently
it
can
absorb
water
and
that
can
really
cause
damage.
AB
So
we
highly
recommended
for
the
Integrity
of
this
wall
to
keep
our
building
safe,
that
we
add
a
slab
across
the
top
so
kind
of
a
cap
on
the
wall.
He
said
once
that's
done
that
will
seal
it
and
we'll
add
20
years
to
the
life
of
the
wall.
Speaking
of
years
for
the
floor,
the
form
that
we
are
requesting
funding
for
would
cover
us
for
10
to
20
years
as
well.
So
we're
talking
long-term
benefits.
C
Thank
you
in
reviewing
your
application.
I
I
did
notice.
This
is
part
of
a
part
of
a
larger
project,
and
my
question
it
to
that
extent
is
even
if
the
will
you
proceed
with
these
two
parts
of
this
project,
even
if
funding
for
the
the
rest
of
your
larger
project
is
not
received.
AB
Yes,
absolutely
so,
if
we
were
to
receive
funding
from
the
city
of
Clearwater
in
this
amount,
we
would
absolutely
proceed
with
these
two
components.
We
kind
of
broke
it
apart,
so
that
we
could
go
right
where
funding
was
secured.
Yes,
okay,
yes,
we'd,
be
very
excited
to
do
that.
C
P
Morning
so
I'm
representing
the
will
Carson
Health
and
Wellness
Center,
and
we
provide
this
here
by
basic
Primary
Care
Services,
to
uninsured
care.
We
also
provide
a
small
amount
of
mental
health,
Council
and
part
of
our
mission.
One
thing
is
that
we
say
we
we
are.
We
provide
culturally
sensitive
care
in
a
way
environment
and
we
realize
that
it
may
not
be
so
sensitive
if
people
cannot
get
in
the
building
easily.
P
So
our
project
is,
we
have
two
doors
we'd
like
some
assistance
or
requesting
assistance
with
updating
for
Ada
Americans,
with
Disabilities
compliance
to
meet
that
compliance,
the
first
door.
Once
we
started
getting
estimates
we
it
came
to
our
attention
that
that
first
door
is
not
a
standard
size,
it's
narrow
and
it's
heavy,
so
that
that's
one
of
our
concerns,
so
not
just
for
individuals
who
maybe
to
save
deemed
disabled,
just
anyone
who
may
be
smaller
in
nature
or
if
someone
has
some,
you
know,
maybe
problems
with
shoulders.
P
P
Our
concern
is
that
if
there
were
ever
any
type
of
emergency,
those
individuals
would
not
be
able
to
easily
exit.
So
if
you
even
just
look
at
that
door,
there,
it
has
the
emergency
bar
to
push
out.
That's
what
we're
seeking
the
total
project
is
twelve
thousand
dollars.
Excuse
me,
14
000,
we're
asking
for
for
twelve
thousand.
It
would
take
two
days.
C
C
AC
AC
Another
challenge
we're
facing
right
now
is
the
agency
for
persons
with
disabilities.
They
are
doing
away
with
the
program.
That's
called
sheltered
workshops
now,
typically,
what
the
way
a
sheltered
workshop
operates
is
its
contract
piece
work.
H
AC
Life,
be
it
work,
be
it
Leisure,
be
it
just
learning.
So
a
project
itself
is
a
very
large
project
and
we've
already
met
with
an
architect
and
he
has
developed
the
schematics
for
that,
so
so
we're
already
in
the
phases.
We
know
we're
moving
forward
with
this,
so
it's
going
to
be
a
phase
project,
because
initially
our
initial
estimate
from
a
contractor
was
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars,
but
we
realize
we
can
Implement
in
phases
because
there's
so
many
spaces
in
the
building
that
we
want
to
renovate
we're.
AC
We
occupy
over
50
000
square
feet
at
the
Long
Center.
Probably
the
biggest
area
we're
looking
at
is
7
500
square
feet,
which
is
our
workshops
that
are
going
away,
so
we
can
phase
that
we
can
do
one
workshop
at
a
time.
We
can
look
at
sprinkling
the
workshop,
so
it's
not
that
we
are
going
to
implement
it
all
at
once.
We
need
to
take
our
time
with
it
anyway,
because
these
are
individuals
that
some
of
them
have
autism
or
other
behaviors
that
it's
challenging
for
them
to
just
all
of
a
sudden.
AC
C
AC
The
our
goal
would
be
to
start
with
at
least
one
of
the
workshops.
The
workshops
themselves
are
probably
7
500
square
feet.
We
have
two
of
them
downstairs
so,
each
prior
on
four,
you
know
3
500
or
40
3.
F
AC
Or
4
000
each.
So
we
if
we
could
at
least
partition
one
into
three
smaller
classrooms,
then
that
would
be
a
start.
We
would
want
to
sprinkle
the
area
and
we
would
want
to
partition
it
and
then
that
way,
each
classroom,
the.
AC
Day
program
vision
is
like
specified
curriculums
like
it's
Art
and
Design
computer
technology.
We've
already
experienced
doing
these
on
a
limited
basis,
but
we
want
to
expand
it
so
that
individuals
that
were
in
these
sheltered
Workshops
can
have
some
other
skills
that
they
can.
They
can
make
money
selling
Arts.
We
already
do
that
one
of
our
other
programs,
so
so
we
want
to
at
least
if
we
could
get
one
shelter
Workshop
subdivided.
That
would
be
a
start.
C
Final
presentation
today
is
the
Society
of
St
Vincent
de
Paul,
Christine
Bond
will
be
presenting.
You
will
have
five
minutes
to
present
on
your
two
public
facilities.
Improvement
projects.
One
project
is
for
1339
Park
Street
and
one
for
13
40.
AD
.
thank
y'all,
so
much
for
your
time.
St
Vincent
de
Paul
has
been
around
for
about
40
years.
Last
year
we
celebrated
our
40th
year
and
we
started
serving
sandwiches
out
of
the
back
of
a
truck
behind
our
thrift
store,
and
then
we
came
to
our
current
facility
where
we
provide
a
meal.
Seven
days
a
week,
365
days
a
year,
it's
a
hearty
nutritious
freshly
made
meal
every
day
to
provide
sustenance
for
the
next
day.
AD
Our
goal
is
to
treat
people
with
respect
and
dignity
and
to
give
them
what
they
need
to
continue
on,
but
we
also
have
turned
our
Focus
since
2019
into
helping
people
get
off
the
streets.
We
don't
want
to
be
an
enabler.
We
want
to
be
part
of
the
solution,
and
we've
been
very
aggressive
about
that.
Our
numbers
when
I
first
came
a
couple
years
ago,
were
at
about
120
averaging
a
day
and
now
we're
averaging
about
80
to
90..
We've
moved
a
lot
into
housing.
AD
We've
worked
very
closely
with
the
city
of
Clearwater
Police
Department
Street
Outreach
team
they're
at
the
kitchen
every
day,
and
we
work
very
hard
to
move
people
on.
We
also
have
a
Homeward
Bound
program
where
we're
averaging
about
one
to
two
people
a
week,
we're
returning
back
to
family
and
friends
for
a
fresh
start
and
to
help
them
get
off
the
streets.
AD
It's
amazing
how
many
people
come
here
without
a
plan
oftentimes
in
a
vehicle
thinking,
they'll
get
a
job
and
they'll
get
a
place
and
everything
will
be
great
and
that's
not
the
way
it
plays
out
and
they
often
find
themselves
lost
with
absolutely
nothing,
and
so
we
work
very
hard
to
help
them
get
back
on
track
and
to
get
back
to
family
and
friends.
So
we
do
that
at
the
kitchen.
We
also
provide
mail
service
showers,
laundry
emergency
hygiene
items,
anything
that
people
would
need
to
survive.
AD
We
have
a
senior
nutrition
and
Senior
survive
the
elements
program
and
with
that
we
serve
an
average
of
about
35
to
40
senior
citizens
each
week
with
170
this
past
year,
and
one
thing
I
have
learned
is
about
a
third
of
our
clients,
our
seniors,
who
bring
in
Social
Security.
But
it's
not
enough
to
survive,
and
it's
not
that
they're
addicts
and
it's
not
that
they're
criminals
and
it's
not
that
they
want
to
be
on
the
streets
and
I
know
this,
because
our
numbers
drop
at
the
beginning
of
every
month.
And
why
is
that?
AD
AD
So
we're
really
trying
to
work
on
developing
some
Partnerships
to
help
this
group
be
housed
with
dignity
and
respect
to
live
out
their
last
days
because
they
are
not
candidates
for
finding
a
new
job
and
getting
jumping
into
the
workforce
for
those
jumping
into
the
workforce.
We
have
the
Stars
employment
Readiness
program
in
a
resource
center
and
we
work
very
hard
to
support
Park
who
runs
that
program.
We
offered
them
the
space
at
no
cost
so
that
they
could
provide
their
services
to
our
clients
they're
in
the
resource
center.
AD
So
the
two
requests
I
have
one
the
kitchen
we
are
on
Park
Street,
which
runs
parallel
to
Cleveland
I,
don't
know
if
y'all
are
familiar
with
deluca's
restaurant
wonderful
place,
whether
if
you
haven't
and
they're
wonderful
people,
we
are
right
behind
them
and
so
the
front
of
our
building
faces
Cleveland,
Street
and
as
a
part
of
the
area,
that's
being
revitalized.
We
want
to
be
a
partner
in
that
we
want
to
help.
We
don't
want
to
be
a
problem
to
the
community.
We
want
to
be
a
blessing
and
that's
what
I
tell
my
clients?
AD
AD
Okay,
let's
see
if
I
can
figure
this
out
right
cover
the
logo.
There
we
go
okay.
That
way,
so
you
can
see
from
the
parking
lot
there's
a
lot
of
cracks.
A
lot
of
breaks
in
the
pavement,
and
so
most
of
our
clients
come
on
foot
except
for
those
who
are
living
in
their
cars
and
it's
it's
dangerous.
AD
When
people
fall,
we
have
a
lot
of
people
with
Walkers
and
canes
and
it's
kind
of
steep
and
it
really
needs
a
cleanup,
and
it
would
be
very
nice
for,
for
the
neighborhood
too,
to
have
a
prettier
view
than
when
they're
seeing
that's
another
angle
of
it.
AD
So
this
is
for
the
repaving,
and
this
is
the
the
look
of
the
building
I'm.
Sorry,
it's
so
small,
but
this
top
floor
is
what
faces
Cleveland.
So
if
we
put
a
big
beautiful
mural
on
there,
you
could
see
it
from
Cleveland
and
it
would
just
be
one
more
blessing
to
our
neighborhood
and
one
more
thing
for
Clearwater
to
be
proud
of
and,
to
kind
of
you
know,
be
a
positive
impact.
AD
So
that's
for
the
the
kitchen
job,
the
1345
Park
Street,
for
the
other
is
for
a
resource
center.
The
resource
center
was
originally
chips,
Clearwater
homeless
initiative
effect
and
that
space
was
used
for
housing
and
it's
it's
been
a
lot
of
their
bathrooms.
Large
bathrooms,
with
showers
that
have
not
been
used
for
ages.
They're
inoperable
we'd
like
to
convert
that
to
office.
E
C
Believe
so,
thank
you
Christine.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
at
this
point,
I'd
like
to
thank
the
board
members
and
the
presenters.
For
today
we
see
a
saw
a
wide
range
of
projects
and
the
impact
of
cdbg
funding
goes
well
beyond
the
dollars
that
are
expended
well
beyond
by
impacting
lives,
and
those
are
lives
of
City
residents,
and
we
appreciate
all
of
the
work
that
is
being
done
in
the
cooperation
of
all
of
the
agencies
board
members.
Do
you
have
any
other
comments
on
the
presentations
at
this
point?
C
This
concludes
the
scheduled
business.
For
the
day,
all
business
does
the
board
have
any
New
or
Old
business
that
you'd
like
to
discuss
at
this
point,
the
only
thing
I'd
like
to
just
make
a
comment
on
is
our
presentations
from
the
community
about
the
need
for
affordable
housing
that
we
started
with
with
today's
extended
agenda.
C
We're
not
going
to
discuss
that
in
detail,
but
I
would
like
to
hold
that
and
and
keep
that
idea
as
we
move
forward
throughout
this
year
and
as
we
just
as
we're
looking
for
affordable
housing
projects
and
just
keep
that
on
our
mind,
we
want
may
want
to
discuss
ways
that
the
community
can
help
us
in
that
project
at
our
future
meetings.
So
we
will
just
keep
that
on
our
our
Target
for
future
meetings.
C
Our
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
director's
report.
Miss
Anderson,
do
you
have
anything
additional
to
report
today.
K
I
wanted
to
follow
up
good
morning,
Denise
Anderson
economics
about
Lynn
Housing,
so
you're
not
seeing
Chuck
this
morning
and
I'm
sure
you're
all
miss
him
and
he
has,
as
you
know,
been
reassigned
it
s,
Point
temporarily,
as
interim
director
of
Public
Works.
So
you're
stuck
with
me
a
couple
of
things
that
Chuck
brought
to
you
previously
and
so
this
sort
of
comes
in
under
our
old
business.
If
you
will
include
so.
Z
AD
K
Alliance
was
selected
as
an
agency
and
quickly
deployed
Housing
Services
to
engage
residents,
housing
navigation
Services-
if
you
want
we've,
heard
a
lot
about
that
today
to
engage
residents
and
connect
them
with
these
Services
into
assisted
relocation,
security
deposits
and
the
like
Kathy
ham.
Some
of
you
may
know
her,
formerly
with
directions
for
Living.
K
Unfortunately,
the
two
residents
in
that
one
remaining
occupied
home
were
resident,
refused
to
leave
and
was
serve
addiction
papers
and
while
we
never
wish
to
see
these
kinds
of
things,
I
can't
share
with
you
that
of
the
70
to
80
occupied
units.
We
certainly
see
the
work
of
hlas
critical
to
really
stepping
in
and
helping
these
residents
during
a
very
stressful
time
of
crisis.
K
Additionally
and
I
separately,
I
wanted
to
mention
1454
South
MLK
Avenue.
This
is
a
project
that
Roger
Rayburn
actually
referred
to:
the
Tampa
Bay
Neighborhood
Housing
Services,
that
organization
forms
cnhs
and
Habitat
for
Humanity,
where
the
successful
respondents
to
the
rfpb
issued
for
the
city-owned
property.
K
Next
to
Norton
Apartments,
the
two
organizations
play
the
code
available:
24
Town,
Homes
total,
which
will
be
80
under
80
percent
of
area,
median
income
and
12
rupee
for
households
up
to
120
percent
of
area
median
income
and
the
mixing
income
project
will
provide
home
ownership
opportunities
in
an
area
largely
dominated
by
rental
units
in
Lake
Bellevue
and
as
most
income
restricted
construction
projects.
There's
a
number
of
subsidies,
some
of
these
new
types
that
were
required
to
support
the
project
and
it
recruiter,
did
the
next
council
meeting
on
April
20th.
K
The
city
will
also
be
providing
five
kilowatt
solar
installations.
This
is
a
funding
provided
initially
the
American
Rescue
plan
I've
received
as
a
mobile
fiscal
recovery
funds,
and
while
it
does
not
support
the
underlying
meaning,
you
cannot
use
the
the
savings
of
the
electrical
cost.
Savings
as
part
of
the
underwriting
criteria
certainly
will
help
with
the
operation
of
those
units
making
it
more
affordable
in
the
long
term.
K
So
we're
hopeful
that
Council
will
approve
that
project,
not
only
the
project
for
co-development,
but
for
the
solar
installation
as
well
bring
to
your
attention
to
presentation,
I'll
be
providing
to
council
and
it's
May
1st
work
session
council
member
tashoda
has
requested
an
overview
of
all
affordable
and
Workforce
housing
units
with
current
and
planned
and
council
is,
of
course,
very
aware
of
the
challenges
facing
home
buyers
and
renters
would
like
to
have
a
clearer
picture
of
this
landscape.
As
with
this
board,
as
Kevin
just
mentioned
so.
K
L
K
J
C
E
So
one
of
the
things
that
was
brought
up
today
and
I
know
that
Lindsay
is
also
going
to
talk
about
it.
Is
it
the
down
payment
assistance
program
and
I
recently
had
a
co-worker
get
down
payment
assistance
from
the
city
of
Clearwater?
She
went
through
Suncoast,
Housing
Connections
and
she
did
not
have
a
very
good
experience.
E
There
was
a
lack
of
communication
I
guess
it
turned
out
that
her
housing,
counselor
left
Suncoast
and
she
didn't
know
it
until
I
called
Suncoast
to
find
out
what
was
going
on
and
they
said
oh
she's
gone,
and
there
was
no
communication
with
us
as
the
lender,
so
we
didn't
even
know
what
was
going
on
and
how
things
were
progressing
and
her
inspection
was
not
requested
until
about
less
than
a
week
before
the
scheduled.
E
G
Mine's
opposite
so
I
just
worked
with
somebody
that
went
through
hope,
Expo
and
did
the
pre-purchase
counseling
with
the
housing
counseling
agency
and
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
of
how
quick
the
process
was.
How
easy
the
process
was
for
her.
G
The
the
biggest
I
think
thing
that
we
had
talked
about
the
most
is
when
they
order
the
hqs
inspection,
which
is
always
separate
from
a
real
estate
contract
timeline.
It
fell
within
the
timeline.
Actually,
they
were
almost
ahead
of
us
where
I
had
to
say
whoa,
whoa,
I'm
still
negotiating
repairs.
We
can't
have
that
so
it
was
very
successful.
I
was
happy
to
see
the
changes
and
pleasantly
surprised
of
how
quick
the
process
went
for
her.
