Alright,
the
next
item
we
have
is
p3
approval
of
the
sidewalk
cafe
for
la
maquina
cafe
by
pronounced
it
correctly
move
approval
Becca,
all
those
in
favor
all
right.
Anyone
from
la
maquina
who'd
like
to
speak,
though.
Okay,
thank
you.
Next
p
for
approval
of
an
application
for
home
funds
for
a
tenant
based
rental
assistance
program
by
connections
for
the
homeless.
A
A
G
I
also
am
a
to
put
all
my
cards
on
the
table:
a
current
member
of
connections
for
the
homeless
board,
but
when,
when
the
Commission
discussed
this
issue,
I
recuse
myself
from
the
discussion
and
from
voting
on
it
but
I
come
to
you
tonight,
not
as
either
of
those
representatives
but
as
the
former
co-chair
of
the
task,
the
mayor's
Task
Force
on
homelessness,
and
that
report
was
accepted
by
the
council
in
april
of
last
year.
We
had
six
recommendations,
of
which
the
first
has
already
been
accomplished.
G
G
Another
is
to
create
more
job
opportunities
and
vocational
training,
and,
although
we're
not
creating
vocational
training,
we
are
accessing
it,
which
I
think
is
important
and
the
other
recommendation
that
is,
that
being
addressed
by
this
project,
is
to
target
existing
resources
toward
proven
strategies
and
leverage
additional
funding.
And
let
me
read
from
the
report
itself:
it
is
important
to
note
that
the
plan
does
not
call
for
additional
resources
from
the
city.
It
recommends
retargeting
funding
to
be
more
efficient
at
addressing
homelessness
and
active
efforts
to
leverage
additional
resources
of
private
and
public
funding.
G
G
It's
a
a
finding
of
studies
of
homelessness
that
sixty
percent
of
adults
who
are
homeless,
we're
homeless
as
children
and
this
project
will
provide
stability
for
those
families
currently
in
the
next
couple
years,
but
also,
hopefully,
will
break
that
cycle
of
homelessness
and
will
reap
our
benefits
in
20
or
30
years.
So
I
urge
passage
about
this.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
E
Good
evening,
I'm
sulo
back
with
connections
for
the
homeless
and
I'm,
not
here
to
make
a
statement
I'm
here
really
to
answer
questions
I
do
think
this
is
a
very
exciting
opportunity
for
the
city,
a
non-profit,
the
school
district
and
some
employers
to
all
be
working
together.
So
if
you
do
have
any
questions
during
the
session,
please
let
me
know
I.
E
F
However,
when
do
we
ever
get
the
data
showing
the
results
of
all
these
efforts
and
all
this
money,
maybe
once
or
twice
I've
heard
about
a
fit
program
that
oh
well,
somebody
got
a
job
and
McDonald's
or
somebody's
going
to
be
a
nurse's
aide
someplace,
but
I
never
get
any
substantial
final
information
regarding
the
efforts
and
the
money
and
I
really
need
that
I
need
that
badly.
This
is
a
half
a
million
dollars
being
committed
for
three
years
for
exactly
the
same
concept:
housing
people.
F
E
F
E
And
I
think
that's
built
into
this
proposal
as
well.
There
are
quarterly
reports
on
what
we're
doing
something
I.
Think
one
thing
that
is
a
bit
different
about
this
particular
program
is
that
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
the
city
would
pay
for
the
housing.
One
thing
that
is
today
add
on
to
that.
Then
we
have
about
two
to
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
funding.
That
connections
is
raising
for
the
case
management
and
the
employment
piece.
F
E
H
H
Sarah
flags,
housing
and
grants
administrator.
Thank
you,
for
that
is
a
very
good
question.
It
has
to
it's
with
three
people
with
three:
it's
the
landlord
the
tenant,
but
connections
is
also
on
it.
It,
which
is
the
same
in
the
agreement,
which
is
the
same
thing
that
is
being
done
right
now,
with
the
new
way
emergency
solutions.
Grants
were
design
by
the
federal
government
and
it
reinforces
the
relationship
between
the
organization
that
is
providing
the
support
and
that
individual,
so
that
landlords
then
have
the
frankly
the
confidence
to
sign
a
lease
with
people.
I'm.
F
What
I'm
worried
about
is,
let's
say
in
those
three
months
that
are,
however,
me
that
the
tenant
is
no
longer
eligible
for
the
program,
not
because
they
make
too
much
money,
of
course,
but
because
they
screwing
the
landlord
tenant
ordinance
in
city
of
Evanston
is
going
to
govern
that
lease.
How
are
you
going
to
get
rid
of
that
tenant,
you're,
saying
that
the
tenant
will
no
longer
be
eligible
for
the
program,
but
of
course
the
tenant
will
be
in
the
unit,
and
what
are
you
going
to
do
about
there.
F
H
H
That
I
can
get
you
more
information.
I'll
follow
up
on
that,
but
the
whole
process
will
be
too
yes,
they'll,
be
carefully
vetted.
Yes,
you're!
Absolutely
right,
not
everything
will
go
smoothly.
It
never
does,
but
at
the
same
time
they
have.
They
have
a
contract
with
the
households,
have
a
contract
with
connections
in
essence
that
they
will
work
and
follow.
That
case
plan
can.
H
F
H
F
F
H
Okay,
all
of
those
the
hprp
program
had
very
detailed
tracking
and
we
actually
published
those
reports
there
on
the
web,
because
there
were
our
quarterly
reports.
I
mean
excuse
me
annual
reports.
I
will
get
them
to
you.
They
show
of
the
people
who
left
who
were
in
stable
housing
what
their
earnings
were
at
the
time.
There's
a
great
deal
of
detail.
It's
all
aggregate,
but.
C
E
Actually,
there's
been
a
couple:
there's
a
place
called
scholars
house:
that's
in
England,
that's
been
its
living
quarters,
along
with
the
education
for
people
who
have
had
drug
addictions
and
homelessness.
Additionally,
there
was
a
cover
story
in
streetwise
talking
about
a
program
that
the
city
of
Chicago
finished
recently,
where
they
did
something
very
similar
to
this.
E
C
Interested
in
meaningful
outcome
measures:
how
do
we
show
that
this
has
been
successful
and
I
think
for
a
program
only
of
only
36
months?
You
almost
have
to
follow
the
families
longer
absolutely
do
we
plan
on
collecting
data
more
than
thirty
six
months
out
as
to
whether
or
not
these
families
have
been
Staveley
housed
and
so
forth.
Yes,
yes,.
C
C
H
Of
the
things
is,
the
data
are
input
in
this
system
on
an
ongoing
basis,
so
we
can
pull
reports
and
they'll
be
on
go.
You
know,
though,
you'll
see
change
over
obviously,
and
they
won't
have
all
the
detail,
but
you
know
by
person,
of
course,
they're
a
grenade
and
ooh
is
pull
samples
and
share
that
and
see,
if
that's
a
useful
report
and
modify
them.
If
not.
Okay,.
B
First
up
the
reports
of
quarterly
reports
that
will
be
coming
to
the
Human
Services
Committee
on
page
380,
for
you
number
a
list
of
things
that
you
intend
to
include
on
the
outcomes,
but
I
would
like
for
you
to
pull
a
bit
more
meat
on
that,
not
just
numbers,
I'm
not
interested
in
just
numbers,
but
a
little
bit
more
detailed
in
terms
of
what's
actually
going
on
with
the
families.
And
did
you
realize
that
district
65
years
to
have
a
program
called
earn
and
learn?
Oh,
I.
H
H
F
E
Pre-Screening
for
the
program
I
mean
the
requirements
of
this
program
are
that
we
can
move
somebody
up
to
fifty
percent
of
the
area
median
income
within
two
years.
So
it's
going
to
have
to
be
somebody
who,
through
pre-screening,
we
feel,
has
a
very
good
chance
of
getting
through
the
education
program,
the
part-time
work
at
the
same
time
and
sort
of
managing
all
of
that
together.
So
it's
somebody
who
is
actively
using
drugs
more
than
likely
will
not
pass
the
pre-screen.
Will
you
will
you
have
the
drug
test
for
your
clients?
E
F
I
get
you
the
answer
tonight
or
we
I
would
like
to
know
some
more
details
before
we
vote
on
this
when
we
have
an
expenditure
of
twenty
thousand
dollars
or
more
in
this
town
and
and
that's
with
city
money,
I
realize
this
is
like
free
money,
pennies
from
heaven
which
of
course,
while
contributing
to,
but
we
go
through
all
sorts
of
process,
etc,
bidding
etc
and
we're
being
asked
for
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
We
got
this
information
the
day
before
the
fourth
of
July
I.
What
is
the
can?
F
B
B
F
H
Will
provide
information
on
the
fit
program
of
the
connections.
Clients
will
also
provide
the
people
who
are
currently
in
the
learn
and
earn
program
who
are
not
necessarily
families,
but
it
will
help
show
the
success
of
that
job
component.
It's
the
same
job
moment,
but
they
are
not
people
who
are
getting
yeah.
They
are
not
people
who
would
be
in
this
program
for
the
housing
subsidy
necessarily.
H
I,
don't
believe
so.
Some
of
them
might
be
getting
ESG,
which
is
a
shorter
term
subsidy,
but
we
can
get
you
that
information
I,
don't
honestly
know
I,
do
know
that,
for
example,
to
I
heard
anecdotally
that
two
of
the
people
who
went
through
connections,
programs
working
with
Lou
Dixon
at
the
rebuilding
exchange
and
got
warehouse,
training
and
management
skills
are
now
working
at
Collins
brothers
in
evanston.
So
we're
also
placing
people
in
real
jobs
right
in
our
own
community
and
in
their
home
community.
