A
A
Hi
everyone,
it's
anisa,
I
have
three
minutes
after
the
hour
welcome
alyssa,
so
I
think
I'll
go
ahead
and
get
started.
A
A
I
would
love
to
hear
from
you
about
not
just
what
your
questions
are,
but
any
ideas
that
you
have
that
you
would
like
to
discuss,
or
you
feel
okay
discussing
in
a
group.
We
can
also
set
up
a
a
separate
meaning
to
do
that.
Also,
you
might
have
noticed
that
there
are
needs
in
the
community
that
you
just
want
to
put
on
a
radar
and-
or
let
me
know
about
so
maybe
I
can
find
somebody
who
could
address
that.
So
this
meaning
has
all
of
those
functions,
and
I
you
can
be
here
just
to
listen.
A
Thank
you
and
observe
and
just
learn
more
and
whatever
reason.
You're
here
is
great
and
I
welcome
all
of
you.
This
is
an
annual
process.
You
know
it's
you
know,
like
I
said
the
hud
terminology
doesn't
make
it
super
clear
to
understand
right
off
the
bat,
even
if
you're,
not
thinking
of
a
project
that
you
want
to
do
this
year
or
ever
it's
good
to
know
about.
So
you
can
contact
me
reach
out
to
me
during
during
the
year
and
at
any
time
find
out
more
good.
A
I'm
glad
that
my
talking
is
just
allowing
more
people
to
come
into
the
room,
so
I'm
just
gonna
keep
talking
for
a
little
bit
because
more
people
might
enter,
and
I
don't
want
anybody
to
miss
anything
like
super
fantastic.
Why
don't
I
go
ahead
and
put
my
email
in
the
chat
right
now,
so
everybody.
A
A
That
comes
to
the
city
of
ithaca
and
it's
called
entitlement
because
we
have
gotten
into
a
pool
by
virtue
of
our
population
that
allows
us
funding
to
come
to
us
every
year
without
us
having
to
apply
for
it,
and
it's
determined
by
a
formula
that
statisticians
at
hud
makeup,
so
the
communities
each
receive
funding
on
the
basis,
basically
of
how
big
they
are
so
we're
a
pretty
small
community.
A
We
don't
get
a
ton
of
funding
places
like
buffalo,
rochester,
new
york
city
get
a
lot
more
funding
than
we
do
and
they
do
a
lot
with
it.
But
I
gotta
say
that
even
in
our
small
community
we
do
quite
a
lot
with
the
somewhat
limited
amount
that
we
have.
It's
it's
very
valuable
funding.
It
often
helps
projects
that
are
large-scale
projects
show
their
other
funders
that
their
community
is
behind
this
and
supports
this
activity.
That's
that's
something!
A
So
let
me
see
if
I
can
get
this
to
presentation
mode
and
then
we
can
go
ahead
with
yeah.
Why
didn't
I
just
get
it
to
public
presentation
mode
before
I
came
here
that
would
have
been
smart.
A
Yeah
totally
forgot
how
to
do
this
in
google
docs,
so
that's
really
great
anyway.
Maybe
I'll
just
show
it
like
this.
Okay,
so
might
be
hard
to
see,
but
I'm
just
gonna
be
speaking
aloud
here
we
have
somebody
new
entering
the
room
and
that's
always
a
little
difficult
to
do
with
the
screen
being
shared
okay.
A
So
the
first
thing
I
was
going
to
discuss
is
like
well.
What
is
this
funding?
What
do
we?
Why
do
we
care?
So
we
care,
because
it
provides
different
kinds
of
opportunities
in
the
community
for
community
organizations
to
take
on
some
projects
that
maybe
the
city
isn't
going
to
be
able
to
take
on
itself
so
it,
and
it
really
allows
a
lot
of
public
involvement,
public
identification
of
need,
and
so
on
so
each
year
the
city
receives
two
different
streams
of
funding.
A
One
is
designated
to
affordable
housing,
only
that's
called
home
and
one
is
for
various
community
development
needs.
That's
community
development
block
grant
funding,
and
you
probably
have
heard
about
that
funding
one
way
or
another
over
the
years.
It's
pretty
popular
funding
with
both
sides
of
the
aisle
legislators
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle
and
what
they
like
about
it
is
that
it
really
it's
not
the
federal
government
telling
anybody
how
to
use
that
money.
A
What
it
is
is
communities
saying
we
have
this
money
we'd
like
to
use
it
in
particular
ways,
so
the
amount
that
we
get
over
the
years
or
changes
year
to
year.
A
What
we're
anticipating
is
that
we'll
probably
receive
about
the
same
amount
of
funding
this
year,
as
we
did
last
year,
so
we're
looking
at
about
670
000
for
community
development
block
grant
funding,
that's
the
more
inclusive
category
that
is
economic
development
does
include
affordable
housing,
but
also
public
facilities
and
public
services,
and
about
300
000
in
the
strictly
can
only
be
used
for
affordable
housing
category.
A
So
that's
about
how
much
we're
anticipating
something
to
know
about
this
funding
community
of
development
block
grant
funding
when
it
was
originally
started
back
in
the
60s
by
hud.
We
think
that
hud
was
probably
you
know
at
that
time.
Thinking
of
building
things
in
the
community,
and
so
at
that
time
I
put
a
15
cap
on
the
total
award
that
each
of
the
total
award
that
each
community
receives
that
they
could
use
for
public
services.
So
we
receive
around
660
000,
we
think
of
the
total
cdbg
award.
A
We
can
use
15
of
that
for
public
services
and
what
I
will
say
is
that
public
services
in
our
community
tends
to
be
one
the
category
that
a
lot
of
people
are
interested
in,
because
we
already
have
a
lot
of
amazing
service
organizations
and
non-profits
in
the
community.
So
it
tends
to
be
a
more
competitive
one
of
the
more
competitive
categories
and
there's
only
let's
say
you
know
a
little
bit
over
a
hundred
thousand
to
spend
on
that
category.
So,
if
you're
thinking
like
how
much
should
I
apply
for
just
consider
like?
A
If
you
have
a
project
and
you're,
you
know
it's
a
public
service
and
you
think
it's
gonna
cost
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Then
you're
really
gonna
want
a
top-notch
application
that
really
checks
all
the
boxes,
because
that
would
probably
be
one
of
the
only
things
that's
funded
or
the
only
thing
that's
funded.
A
However,
if
you're
looking
at
20
000
that
you
know
that
you
can
go
online
and
see
what's
received
funding
in
previous
years
and
the
projects
funded
tend
to
be
around
that
amount,
it's
I'm
not
saying
at
all
that
it
has
to
be
that
amount.
I'm
just
saying
that's
kind
of
what
I've
seen
over
the
years.
So
going
back
to
my
now
has
disappeared
presentation
which
will
just
go
off
the
top
of
my
head
and
that's
not
a
problem,
because
I
do
that
all
the
time.
A
So
so
that's
about
how
much
we're
looking
at
and
people
often
ask
me
well
what
is
that?
What
is
a
public
facility,
because
that's
kind
of
the
one
of
the
more
confusing
areas,
it's
generally
thought
of
as
a
community
building
that
members
of
the
public
can
access,
but
it
can
be
other
things,
for
example,
curb
cuts
so
that
their
ada
accessible
sidewalks
is
a
public
facility,
as
are
sidewalk
extensions,
as
are
some
other
kinds
of
infrastructure,
can't
be
items
that
normally
any
city
or
jurisdiction
should
provide
or
should
be
providing.
They
can't
be
like.
A
Oh
we're
not
going
to
use
our
general
funds,
we're
going
to
use
this
other
cdbg
funding
for
that.
No,
it
has
to
be.
There
are
certain
categories,
and
that's
something
about
this
funding
in
general.
For
those
of
you
that
work
with
a
lot
of
different
types
of
funding,
there
are
a
lot
of
regulations
that
have
has
because
think
about
think
about
hut.
A
You
know
people
are
always
wanting
to
know
that
their
tax
dollars
are
being
spent
in
a
mindful
and
not
frivolous
way,
and
so
hud
asked
us
to
document
lots
of
different
things
to
make
sure
that
that's
happening.
How
many
beneficiaries
are
are
are
benefiting
how
many?
A
What
ensuring
that,
when
you
know
an
applicant
who
has
been
approved,
starts
spending
down
the
money
that
they're
submitting
all
the
documentation,
that's
needed
to
ensure
that
the
uses
are
compliant
so
just
know
in
advance
that
it
might
not
be
feel
as
flexible
on
your
end
as
other
types
of
funding
that
you've
had.
But
we
are
here
to
try
to
help
you
through
that
process.
A
Our
contracts
monitor
our
accountant,
myself
and
the
community
development
director.
We
can
all
you
know
we're
all
here
to
answer
questions
and
help
you
so
hud
has
two
national
objectives
or
three
national
objectives
that
it
has
set
forth
for
the
use
of
this
type
of
funding.
So
what
we
mean
by
national
objectives
are
these
are
things
that
are
written
into
the
statute
that
it
that
hud
has
said
that
this
this
funding
must
meet
one
of
these
three
categories,
so
the
main
category
is
benefit
to
low
to
moderate
income.
A
A
We
also
have
it
on
the
instruction
page
of
our
of
our
application,
so
there's
lots
of
sources
that
you
can
look
at
to
ensure
that
your
project
is
aimed
toward
meeting
that
objective,
and
I
will
say
that,
for
a
family
of
four
in
our
area,
68
500
is
the
highest
income.
A
household
can
have
to
benefit
from
this
type
of
funding.
Does
that
mean
that
if
you
have
a
project,
that's
aiming
to
serve
like
20
households
that
all
20
of
them
have
to
be
low
to
moderate
income?
No,
but
the
majority
have
to
be.
A
We
understand
that
you
know
you
may
not
be
able
to
specifically
tailor
a
project
in
many
ways
you
can,
and
we
will
ask
you
to
do
that
in
ways
that
you
can.
But
if
you
you
know
if,
if
it's
the
majority
of
those
households
or
little
moderate
income,
that
usually
meets
the
mark,
but
we
want
to
maximize
the
benefit
to
households
of
low
to
moderate
income
and
neighborhoods
and
communities
of
low
to
moderate
income.
So
if
you're
just
barely
over
the
51
mark,
that
might
be
something
our
viewers
are
like.
A
Well,
we'd,
really
like
to
see
more
benefits
to
community
members
than
that.
So
that's
one
national
objective
benefit
to
lower
moderate
communities,
so
the
second
one
is
one
that
you
should
immediately
strike
out
of
your
head
after
I
talk
about.
Why
am
I
even
talking
about
because
it's
a
national
objective
that
exists,
but
we
don't
have
this
in
our
our
community.
One
is
a
designated
urban
blight
area
that
you
know.
So
it's
for
a
project.
That's
gonna
happen
in
that
area.
Ithaca
currently
does
not
have
an
area.
A
That's
designated
urban
blight
doesn't
mean
that
there
aren't
places
that
don't
need
improvement.
It's
just
that.
It's
a
designation
that
we
have
not
used
so
that
category
is
off
the
table.
The
third
one
is
called
urgent
need
now,
last
year
in
my
and
all
previous
years,
I've
done
this
type
of
presentation,
I'm
like
now,
everybody
who's
working
in
the
community
knows
emergent
needs
so
they're
out
there,
literally
every
service
provider,
I
know,
knows
a
virgin
needs
and
yet
there's
a
question
about
urban
blight
I'll.
A
Try
to
answer
that
before
the
end
of
the
the
end
of
the
presentation
so
and
yet
hud
does
not
consider
what
we
consider
urgent
needs
urgent
needs.
A
So
this
is
where
we
get
into
our
head,
like
I'd
like
thinking
for
them.
Urgent
needs
have
to
do
with
cleaning
up
after
a
disaster
of
some
sort
or
a
national
emergency.
So
what
do
we
have
going
on
right?
Now?
That's
a
national
emergency
covered
19..
So
for
the
first
time
our
community
might
be
able
to
use
this
category
for
funding
besides
low
to
moderate
income
right
because
there
is
an
urgent
need
related
to
covid
covid
prevention
code
response.
A
This
allows
me
to
segue
into
another
type
of
funding
that
we
have
available
this
year.
We
have
60
thousand
dollars
available
in
covet
specific
funding
that
I'm
talking
about
at
the
same
time
as
our
action
planning
funding,
but
it
has
really
only
been
available
this
year,
I'm
also
giving
you
the
applications
online
at
the
in
the
same
place
as
the
action
planning
funding
the
code.
A
So
if
you
have
a
code,
specific
project
that
you're
interested
in
I'd
love
to
talk
to
you
about
it
here,
just
know
that
you
can
get
the
funding
faster,
because
it's
a
covert
project
that
it
would
still
go
through
review
and
would
still
need
to
have
public
comment
on
it,
but
it's
a
special
form
that
we
have
this
year
of
funding
now.
A
So
I
recommend
you
put
february
25th
on
your
calendar
and
forget
that
the
26
is
a
deadline
because
people
are
always
people
are
always
like.
Oh
well,
you
said
noon.
So
what
you
really
mean
is
the
end
of
the
day.
No,
you
said
noon
so
you
mean
midnight
nope,
it's
noon,
and
last
year
I
received
a
talking
to
about
how
I
must
enforce
the
newness
of
it.
So
please
get
your
applications
in
by
noon.
The
process
is
on
our
website.
A
We
are
considering
updating
our
process
and
going
to
a
digital,
only
application
that
has
not
happened
yet
so
check
our
website
for
further
information
on
that
to
learn
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
be
able
to
go
to
a
digital,
only
application.
In
the
past,
we've
asked
for
both
digital
and
paper,
which
I
know
can
be
very
difficult
for
some
people.
So
so
there's
that
the
timeline
so
you're
gonna
submit
it
on
february
26
at
noon.
A
A
As
far
as
the
regulations
and
things
like
that,
go
making
sure
that
your
your
project
is
compliant,
but
this
board
committee
will
make
recommendations
on
what
to
fund
and
recommend
those
to
the
common
council
who
needs
to
approve
the
plan,
so
they
will
review
in
march
and
april.
Also
march
and
april,
there
is
a
two-part
public
hearing
where
every
applicant
is
invited
to
give
a
short
presentation.
It's
usually
12
minutes
long
and
answer
questions
about
their
application.
A
The
board
takes
both
the
application
and
that
that
presentation
very
seriously
you
know,
does
their
review
makes
recommendations
to
common
council
which
are
usually
available
at
the
end
of
april.
I
would
say
then
there's
a
30-day
comment
period.
Public
comment
period
where
all
the
members
of
the
community
can
look
at
the
plan.
The
proposed
plan
come
to
another
public
hearing
to
voice
their
feelings
about
the
plan
and
then,
after
that,
public
comment
period
closes.
A
Common
council
takes
that
into
consideration
in
their
first
june
meeting
their
their
first
meeting
in
june,
which
I
believe
is
june
2nd
this
year
to
adopt
the
recommended
plan
or
make
any
changes.
Then
you're
like
okay,
then
we'll
know.
If
we're
getting
money.
Yes,
then
you
will
know
if
you're
being
recommended
for
money,
but
then
it
goes
to
hud
for
two
more
months
of
review
and
how
to
review
it,
make
sure
everything
you
know
seems
compliant
and
so
on.
A
Then
there's
usually
another
pause
period,
while
while
hud
is
releasing
its
funding
to
the
city
of
ithaca.
During
that
time,
ira
is
working
on
all
the
contracts
to
the
applicants
who
were
approved
for
funding
and
usually
funds
become
available.
I'd,
say,
fall
or
even
late
fall
really
depends
on
the
the
project,
but
I
mentioned
this
because
a
lot
of
people
have
ideas
for
things
that
they
want
to
implement
tomorrow
and
need
to
be
implemented
tomorrow.
A
If
that's
the
case,
you
can
still
talk
to
me
and
I
might
be
able
to
help
connect
you
to
other
funding
sources
in
the
community
outside
of
the
city
of
ithaca,
for
example,
I
have
a
funder
here
who
might
be
interested
in
hearing
about
your
your
projects,
but
this
is
really
the
type
of
funding
that,
because
the
process
is
kind
of
long
we're
really
looking
you.
You
need
to
be
planning
and
looking
toward
the
end
of
the
year
rather
the
beginning
than
the
beginning
of
the
year
in
terms
of
implementing
it.
A
So
I
just
want
to
put
that
out
there
because
it
doesn't
make
it
feasible
for
everybody's
project,
so
we've
talked
about
timelines.
We've
talked
about
the
categories
of
use.
I
haven't
shown
you
the
chart
because
apparently
now
that
we're
live
streaming
on
youtube,
it's
making
it
hard
for
me
to
effectively
share
my
screen.
Where
I
had
the
the
presentation.
I
do
want
to
show
you
that
this
is
what
the
application
instructions
look
like.
There's
a
link
online,
and
I
I
mentioned
to
you
that
it
shows
you
the
the
income
categories.
A
It
also
shows
you
the
selection
criteria,
and
I
want
to
spend
a
little
time
here,
because
people
are
always
asking
like
well.
How
do
we
get
selected
and
how
will
we
know
what
the
reviewers
are?
Looking
for,
so
there's
a
number
of
criteria
that
reviewers
look
at.
I
won't
say
that
any
of
these
are
particularly
weighted.
We've
tried
to
use
weighted
categories
before
it's
very
hard
because
of
the
diversity
of
projects
that
we
get.
One
thing
you
want
to
do
is
make
sure
it's
an
eligible
use.
A
Those
are
the
national
category
categories
that
I
talked
about,
which
are
benefit
to
low
moderate
income
community
urban
blight,
which
we
don't
have
so
strike
that
from
your
head
right
now
or
urgent
need,
meaning,
probably
probably
it
will
be
a
covet
specific
type
of
response.
A
Secondly,
consistency
with
our
consolidated
plan:
oh
here's,
some
jorgen.
What's
a
consolidated
plan,
it's
our
five-year
strategic
plan,
which
is
also
on
our
website
in
which
we
have
identified.
Priority
needs
for
the
use
of
these
monies.
So
you
can
look
at
the
priority
in
each
chart.
Online
you'll
see
that
some
are
high
priority
and
some
are
low
priority
and
you'll
be
like
what?
If
I,
what,
if
I
don't
think
this
low
priority
is
low,
I
think
it's
high.
Anything
that's
on
the
chart
is
a
priority.
A
Hud
just
makes
us
designate
like
low
or
high,
or
find
some
way
of
telling
us
sorting
those
those
priorities.
One
priority
can
move
from
low
to
high.
So
please
don't
worry
too
much
about
whether
it's
low
or
high.
As
long
as
it's
on
the
list,
that's
important.
If
you're
looking
to
fund
a
project
for
a
need,
that's
not
on
the
list.
We
definitely
need
to
talk
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
way
that
there's
a
pathway
need
documenting
the
extent
and
the
severity
of
the
priority
need
that
your
project
is
addressing.
A
A
If
that's
the
only
type
of
documentation
you
have
otherwise,
maybe
you
have
numbers,
maybe
you've
done
studies
yourself.
Maybe
you've
looked
at
other
studies
in
the
community
and
know
that
the
need
is
there
and
you
have
an
idea
of
how
to
meet
it,
and
you
can
put
that
in
your
application
impact.
This
is
the
extent
to
which
a
project
will
effectively
address
the
priority
needs
that
we
keep
talking
about
and
we're
going
to
consider
both
the
number
of
people
benefiting
in
the
project
and
the
extent
to
which
their
circumstances
are
improved.
What
does
that
mean?
A
So,
in
fact,
in
the
last
presentation
I
did,
I
got
a
really
great
question
about
this
because
they
were
saying
well
what,
if
I
have
an
idea
for
you
know
creating
a
really
deep
impact,
but
the
number
of
people
I
can
impact
is
relatively
small.
Will
that
be
acceptable?
Yes,
as
long
as
you
have
shown
us,
how
that
could
be
your,
you
would
be.
A
You
know
the
extent
of
the
need
that
you're
addressing
would
be
great
and
you
might
have
a
small
number
of
beneficiaries,
or
maybe
you're
like
I
want
to.
I
want
to
impact
a
ton
of
people
at
kind
of
a
you
know.
A
light
touch,
that's
also
acceptable.
We
want
to
hear
about
how
you've
determined
this
and
how
you're
going
to
be
effective
in
doing
it,
but
it's
not
in
either
or
we
just
want
to
understand
what
the
impact
would
be
feasibility.
So
this
is
the
reasonableness
of
the
project
budget
in
your
timeline.
A
So
again,
when
I
spoke
earlier,
I
was
talking
about.
You
have
a
timeline,
that's
ready
to
go
tomorrow
and
it
needs
to
be
done
tomorrow.
So
that's
probably
not
going
to
work
for
this.
This
type
of
criteria
and
funding,
but
we'd
like
to
see
that
you
have
really
thought
about
where
you're
going
to
spend
your
money,
how
you're
going
to
spend
it
and
how
you're
going
to
make
it
last
over.
The
timeline
that
you
have
described
does
not
have
to
be
a
years
long
project.
It
could
be
less
time
some
projects
wrap
up
much
sooner.
A
Some
projects
go
a
little
longer,
but
we
want
to
know
that
you've
thought
about
the
timeline
so
capacity.
What
is
your
ability
to
successfully
implement
this
project,
both
in
terms
of
your
overall
organizational
capacity
and
the
capacity
of
your
individual
staff
members
assigned
to
the
project?
So
when
we're
talking
about
overall
organizational
capacity?
What
I'm
one
thing
I'm
thinking
of
is
like?
Do
you
have
somebody
who
is
either
a
bookkeeper
or
somebody
who
works
in
the
back
office
or
doesn't
have
to
be
an
accountant?
A
But
somebody
who
is
good
at
details,
compiling
receipts
for
the
expenses
that
you've
had
and
submitting
vouchers
and
reports
in
a
timely
way?
That's
something!
That's
very
important!
That's
kind
of
an
invisible
part
of
the
project
that
you're
doing,
because
if
you
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
that,
it's
gonna
be
very
difficult
for
you
to
access
these
funds
because
we
work
on
a
reimbursement
basis.
You
spend
the
money
first
and
then
we
reimburse
you
and
if
you're
like,
I
spent
the
money,
but
I
lost
the
receipt.
A
It's
gonna
take
a
long
time
to
unravel
that
and
for
your
project
to
go
forward
also,
the
staff
that
you're
committing
to
this
project
do
you
have
like
one
part-time
staff
member
to
manage
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
project?
Probably
not
the
capacity
you
need.
So
those
are
things
that
we're
thinking
about
also
their
experience
and
their
ability
to
do
it.
A
The
matching
fund.
This
is
an
interesting
category,
because
people
are
often
very
concerned
about
their
matching
funds.
The
degree
of
their
matching
funds,
whether
or
not
they
have
them
hud
itself
likes
to
know
and
ask
us
to
enter
into
our
database
funds
that
are
matched
to
the
programs
that
that
we
have
funded,
and
that
is
because
hud
likes
to
see
that
its
dollars
are
being
leveraged
in
the
community
by
other
funders,
either
local
funders
or
state
or
even
other
federal
sources.
A
So,
but
we
also
understand
that
not
every
project
is
going
to
have
matching
funds.
You
may
have
a
very
specific
niche
project.
That's
not
really
on
the
radar
of
a
lot
of
funders
and
maybe
doesn't
require
a
lot
of
money
from
us.
That
might
be
something
we
can
consider
or
you've
told
us
explicitly
why
there
is
no
match
funding
and
it's
been
reasonable.
However,
we
will
be
looking
for
a
match
in
cases
where
we
think
it's
possible
coordination.
A
What
extent
will
your
project
implement
or
coordinate
with
other
initiative
or
plans
in
the
community
or
other
proposed
projects
that
have
been
submitted
for
funding?
This
is
kind
of
the
strength
and
numbers
idea.
If
you
think
about
it,
say
you
you
know,
are
an
organization
that
serves
a
population
that
other
organizations
in
the
community
serve.
You
may
be
doing
different
things,
but
maybe
you
want
to
partner
with
one
or
more
of
those
organizations
to
really
create
a
full
spectrum
of
service,
for
example.
A
Another
part
of
coordination
that
is
kind
of
less
intuitive
is
like
looking
at
those
various
kinds
of
plans
that
have
been
produced
in
the
community
or
reports
where
say
some
community
organization
or
government
entity
locally
has
done
a
study
on
childhood
hunger,
for
example,
and
there's
a
project
report,
that's
out
there
they've
named
what
the
needs
are.
We
want
to
know
like
if
you
have
a
hunger
related
project.
A
Have
you
looked
at
that
proposal
that
that
report
are
you
going
to
be
aiming
to
meet
some
of
their
goals
while
you're
meeting
our
goals,
because
the
extent
that
multiple
problems
that
have
been
identified
can
be
addressed?
That's
going
to
be
really
exciting,
promotion
of
fair
housing.
We
understand
that
not
every
project
is
a
housing
project
and
people
tend
to
think
like.
If
I
don't
have
a
housing
project,
then
I
don't
need
to
worry
about
the
fair
housing
goals.
That
might
be
true,
but
it
might
not
be
true.
A
You
might
be
able
to
promote
fair
housing
through
other
activities
that
you're
doing,
and
if
so
we
want
to
hear
about
that.
So
those
are
the
criteria
that
we're
looking
for
when
we're.
When
we're
reviewing
applications,
so
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
this
instruction
sheet-
that's
eight
pages
and
you
might
be
like
wow.
That
seems
like
overkill
I
really
find
and
our
project
or
our
I'm
sorry
contract,
monitor,
updates
this
every
year
based
on
feedback
that
we've
gotten
about
how
to
make
things
simpler.
A
So
I
really
urge
people
if
you're
thinking
about
a
project,
go
ahead
and
go
to
our
website
and
look
at
the
applications
and
look
at
the
materials
we
have
there.
I
know
it
seems
like
a
lot
and
it
can
be
overwhelming.
I've
been
overwhelmed
by
it
as
well
at
times,
but
I
find
it
helpful
because
the
sooner
that
you
start
doing,
that
and
kind
of
like
start
sketching
out
your
responses
in
each
of
the
category
areas,
the
sooner
you're
going
to
know
what
questions
you
want
to
ask
me.
A
A
We
have
that
available
more
available
in
the
beginning
of
the
process
than
at
the
end,
because
at
the
end
of
the
process,
people
are
usually
scrambling.
Want
me
to
read
stuff
that
they've
written
and
so
on,
and
we
want
to
provide
as
much
assistance
as
possible,
but
we
can't
guarantee
it.
It
really
depends
on
the
availability.
A
My
availability
of
time,
I
will
say
I
really
try
to
be
available
on
weekends
and
evenings,
especially
as
we
get
toward
the
end,
and
people
have
really
taken
advantage
of
that.
I've
had
conversations
very
late
at
night
with
applicants,
so
I
will
do
it,
but
just
be
aware
there
might
be
a
wall
in
which
I
cannot
do
it.
So
please
start
sooner
rather
than
later,
I
feel
like
there's
a
little
school
mermaid
there,
but
yeah.
So
now
I've
tried
to
hit
all
the
the
major
concerns.
A
Natalia
has
asked:
how
does
hud
define
urban
blight?
I
can
send
you
a
definition
offline.
If
you
want
in
general
we
think
of
it.
I
don't
know
that
her
definition
off
the
top
of
my
head
in
general
is
an
area
that
has
been
designated
as
abandoned
and
or
maybe
dangerous,
and
when
I
say
dangerous,
I
mean
like
facades
falling
off
onto
the
street
and
things
like
that.
A
That
type
of
danger,
so
it's
blighted
areas,
are
usually
kind
of
identified
as
ways
for
places
are
right,
for
I
don't
want
to
say
redevelopment
revitalization,
but,
as
I
said,
I
tell
you,
we
don't
have
any
of
those
defined
areas
in
our
community,
but
I
can
say
you
know
another
community
that
you
want
to
find
out
about.
I
can
send
that
to
you
offline
okay.
What
other
questions
can
I
answer.
B
Lisa
hi,
thank
you
for
that
appreciate
it
just
a
little
bit
of
clarification
as
to
the
the
you
you
initially
spoke
of
670
000
that
was
available
to
the
city
of
ithaca,
but
is
this
application?
Does
this
only
apply
to
the
60k
that
was
kovid
specific.
A
No
so
there's
basically
three
three
pots
of
money
that
I've
been
talking
about
kind
of
interchangeably,
so
that
makes
it
confusing.
Affordable
housing
only
is
about
300.
000
is
going
to
be
available.
Community
development
block
grant
funding,
which
has
you
can
use
for
economic
development,
public
services,
public
facilities
or
affordable
housing
about.
C
C
B
60
right
so
in
does
the
same
application
apply
to
all
of
those
three
categories.
A
The
covet
specific
funding
has
its
own
application
on
the
website
and
you'll
see
it
it's
in
a
a
little
section
that
just
has
two
pieces
in
it:
the
covid
application
and
its
instructions.
It's
kind
of
a
streamlined
version
of
the
bigger
application
for
the
other
two.
B
Right
so
and
then
the
other
question
is,
can
you
apply
in
like
you
know,
I
would
like
to
apply
and
tell
me
if
this
applies
we
would
like
to
revitalize
or
or
update
our
air
handling
system
in
the
shelter
and
and
specifically
to
covid
to
demands
of
air
air
exchanges,
and
that
means
so
and
then
the
other
thing
is
I
was
wondering.
If
so
so,
can
you
apply
for
the
covid
and
then
apply
for
other
another
category
as
well?
Can
you
yes.
A
You
can
apply
for
covid
and
the
other
categories
some
agencies
put
in
like
three
applications
a
year.
Some
do
one.
A
I
would
say
if
you
have
a
covered
related
project,
please
let
me
know
as
soon
as
possible,
because
this
is
funding
that
we've
had
for
a
while
and
we
just
haven't
had
enough
projects
come
through
to
be
able
to
utilize
it
all
in
a
way
that
I
already
felt
was
most
appropriate,
most
responsive,
so
we're
we're
giving
the
covid
funding
a
soft
deadline
of
february
26
just
because
it
keeps
it
in
your
mind
as
the
same
deadline.
But
depending
I
mean
we
could
you
know
we
could
adjust
that
deadline.
A
So
please
talk
to
me,
please
think
of
february
26
as
the
covet
specific
deadline.
In
that
way,
the
reviewers
can
look
at
all
the
applications
at
one
time,
but
the
covid,
the
code
relatedness,
does
have
an
expedited
timeline
as
well.
So
if
those
projects
all
came
in
early,
for
example,
we
might
be
able
to
get
that
started
sooner
rather
than
later.
B
Right
and
and
what
is
the
deadline
for
the
other,
if
you
would
were
to
apply
for
one
of
the
other
categories,.
D
Thank
you
for
doing
all
this
great
work.
How
soon
it's
a
reimbursement
program,
the
original
one.
How
soon
can
you
spend
like?
What's
the
earliest
you
could
spend
so.
A
I
mean
that
that's
when
I
would
think
that
I
mean
basically
so,
and
that
would
be
like
late
summer,
but
what
I
will
say
is
that
you
can
incur
expenses
before
that.
Your
contract
is
done.
If
you
have
been
named
as
one
of
the
awardees.
However,
it
is
at
your
own
risk,
so
this.
D
A
Something
that
organizations
need
to
know
because
you
might,
you
might
spend
money
on
something,
that's
non-compliant
and
you
didn't
realize
it
was
non-compliance.
You
didn't
have
your
contract
yet
and
then
you're
out
that
money.
So
it's
something
you
want
to
weigh
and
it's
also
not
available
that
much
sooner
than
but
it
is
possible.
Yes,.
D
I
have
our
entire
security
system
here
has
is,
is
gone.
It's
oh
wow,
the
camera,
video
security
system
right
no
longer
functions,
and
we
just
have
to
have
to
do
it.
So
I'm
just
I'm
looking
at
what
kind
of
it's
by
regulation.
We
have
to
do
it
and
by
absolutely
one
want
and
need
we.
We
need
it
here
so
yeah,
just
the
timing
of
it
is
like
everybody
else.
Yes,
it's
got
it,
it's
just
you
needed
it
yesterday,
yeah,
it's
just
it's
it's
an
unanticipated
hardship.
D
So
we
do
have
our
tech
person
has
managed
to
re-establish
some
of
it,
but
we
just
need
to
take
care
of
it.
So
that's
why
I
was
inquiring
as
to
when
we
could
actually
expend
for
what
would
be
the
reimbursable
timeline.
A
A
I
don't
necessarily
get
them,
but
I
see
some
people
have
joined
that
I
haven't
met
before
so
that's
alyssa,
christina
ryan,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
putting
in
to
the
chat
box
either
to
me
or
to
everyone,
maybe
if
you're
from
an
organization
where
you're
from
that
would
help
me
kind
of
know
a
little
bit
more
about
how
I
could
answer
some
questions
just
want
to.
Let
you
know
that
my
joined
while
I
was
talking
you
can
always
reach
out
to
me
my
emails
in
the
chat
for
a
one-on-one
conversation.
A
If
you
want
yeah.
B
Yes
right,
I
have
a
question
so
could
any
of
this
money
apply
to
a
project
that
is
sort
of
in
its
in
its
really
very
early
stages
and
not
really
sure
if
it
will
ever
proceed
anywhere,
but
but
some
money
might
be
needed
at
some
point?
A
A
Intriguingly
asked
question:
sorry,
did
you
want
to
continue
or
you
want
me.
A
Yeah
well,
let
me
share
my
screen
to
show
you.
Yes,
I
mean
I'm
going
to
give
a
hug
related
answer.
Yes,
but
no!
No!
But
yes.
A
That,
because
it's
like
well,
it
kind
of
depends
so,
for
example,
I'm
going
to
show
you
things
that
got
funded
last
year,
which
it
might
be
hard
to
see
it's
a
big
matrix
and
that's
like
the
the
the
type
can
be
tiny.
So
for
some
projects,
the
the
main,
the
main
thing
to
understand
is
like,
yes,
you
might
be
looking
at
like
a
compliant
use
of
funds,
especially
for
affordable
housing
or
something
like
what
you're
talking
about
a
shelter
might
be
for
acquisition
of
the
property
or
the
building.
A
That
already
exists.
That's
a
compliant
use
of
funds,
but
if
you
end
up
acquiring
a
building
or
a
piece
of
land
that
you
don't
end
up,
utilizing
then
hud's
like
we
need
our
money
back,
because
you
didn't
use
it
for
what
you
said
but
you're
talking
about
like
I
have
an
early
project,
it
costs
a
lot
of
money.
I
am
needing
to
show
other
funders
that
there's
community
support.
We
may
have
some
early
expenses,
yes,
theoretically,
it
could
be
used
for
that
for
all
projects.
A
Some
people
aren't
aware
of
this
they're
they
need
to
go
under
a.
There
needs
to
be
an
environmental
review
even
for
public
services,
that's
that
is
related
to
the
national
environmental
protection
act.
So
this
is
something
related
to
acquiring
real
estate,
because
here
in
ithaca
there
are.
A
There
are
known
toxins
in
some
areas,
and
things
like
that.
So
there
needs
to
be
an
environmental
review
and
things
like
that
and
if
you
have
an
environmental
review
and
then
you
realize
this
site
is
not
appropriate
for
what
we
want
to
do
or
we
don't
have
the
funding
to
remediate
it,
then
that
will
be
kind
of
difficult.
A
So
in
answering
your
question,
it
is
possible.
You
definitely
want
to
talk
with
us
more
about
it.
I
want
to
spend
some
time
here
now
that
you've
mentioned
it
just
to
show
people.
These
are
all
available
on
our
website
for
the
past,
since
2010
the
kinds
of
projects
we've
funded,
but
this
was
last
year,
so
you
can
see
that
in
the
affordable
housing
category,
a
small
repair
program
was
funded:
new
construction
of
town
homes,
major
rehab,
slash,
possibly
new
construction
of
the
north
side,
apartments,
security,
deposit
assistance
and
so
on.
A
Now,
I'm
not
going
to
read
every
single
one:
economic
development
has
tended
to
be
in
job
readiness
and
job
placement
public
facilities.
This
is
a
good
one
to
talk
about,
because
people
often
have
trouble
imagining
what
public
facilities
can
be
so
ithaca
community
gardens
actually
got
some
funding
under
the
public
facilities
category.
A
Also,
a
dock
leveler
for
tompkins
community
action
and
curb
ramps
at
a
bus.
Stop
right.
This
can
be
buildings.
It
can
be
facilities
and
infrastructure
that
the
public
uses.
That
is
not.
It
can't
be
something
that
the
city
of
ithaca
decides
like.
Oh
we're,
just
not
going
to
use
our
general
funds
for
that
we're
going
to
pour
in
a
bunch
of
this
entitlement
funding
in
there.
A
No,
it
can't
be
something
that
the
city
is
already
supposed
to
be
doing,
and
then
public
services,
as
we've
talked
about
a
lot
of
people
here-
are
maybe
envisioning
projects
that
have
to
do
with
public
services,
and
here
are
some
that
have
been
funded
in
the
past.
For
example,
catholic
charities,
immigrant
services
project
has
been
funded
more
than
once
in
the
past,
because
they've
been
able
to
demonstrate
that
they're.
One
of
the
few
organizations
that
are
you
know
able
to
provide
any
services
to
immigrants
in
our
area.
A
Okay,
other
questions,
so
I
see
somebody
from
alyssa
from
legal
assistance
interested
in
projects
that
have
been
founded
previously
having
some
idea
of
current
needs,
so
we
can
stay
aware
and
connected
so
alyssa.
Let
me
link
to
our
website
too,
where
you
can
go
to
the
action
plan
area
and
look
at
if
you
I,
I
recommend
you
looking
at
the
summary
chart
of
each
of
the
gears
that
we've
funded
since
2010.
You
might
like
looking
over
that
thank
you
for
putting
that
in
the
chat
yeah.
A
Thank
you,
christine
patterson
resident
ithaca,
interested
in
learning
about
local
economy,
real
estate,
community
interest,
great
okay,
thank
you
for.
A
C
I
have
a
question.
Yes,
I
have
an
idea
for
something
that
the
community
needs
that
has
really
arisen
risen
up
because
of
kovid
okay,
but
I
could
see
it
being
useful
if
it
was
continued
to
be
implemented
beyond
the
pandemic
sure.
So
how
might
that
affect
my
grant
application.
A
Well,
first
of
all
I
will
say
I
think,
a
lot
of
this.
The
things
that
have
arisen
because
of
covid
could
potentially
be
used
in
the
future
too.
It's
like
we've
learned
a
lot
from
covid
and
we've
learned
a
lot
about
public
health
needs
and
things
like
that,
so
I
they
don't
have
to
be
time
limited
only
to
covet.
What
they
do
have
to
do
is
specifically
address
covet
if
that
makes
sense.
A
So
what
I
would
do
is
if
you're
interested
you
can
just
set
up
another
meeting
with
me,
and
we
can
talk
it
out.
Okay,.
B
A
quick
question:
anissa,
yes
about
the
you
know,
the
the
the
one
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
do
is
is
update
our
hvac
system,
which
will
absolutely
be
a
benefit
in
the
long
run,
and
my
question
is:
do
you
is
that
specific
to
specific
enough
to
kovid
to
qualify.
B
A
So
if
you,
if
you're
saying
that
you
think
it
would
prevent,
address
the
prevention
of
kovid
19,
then
yes,
I'd
say
that
is
I
mean
I
don't
know
if
the
reviewers
will
agree,
but
it
is
compliant
for
that
that
type
of
funding,
yeah.
A
I
think
you're
bringing
up
good
things.
It's
like
you,
know
a
lot
of
the
infrastructural
needs
that
might
be
needed
to
address
covert.
Obviously,
okay,
now
and
some
there
are
some
regulations
that
are
about
setting
up
temporary
hospitals
and
things
like
that,
but
we're
not
necessarily
saying
you
have
to
like
tear
this
stuff
down.
Once
it's
been
once
it's
been
created.
A
A
Oh
nothing:
okay,
waving,
you're,
leaving,
that's
fine!
Yes,
people
should
feel
free
to
leave
any
time.
I'm
not
going
to
be.
You
know,
monitoring,
and
you
know
you
may
have
gotten
your
question
answered
and
you're
now
bored
as
heck,
so
please
feel
free
to
jump
off
whenever
the
time
is
right.
One!
Oh
ryan!
I
think
you
have
your
hand
raised.
A
D
A
Raised
interested
in
addressing
cross-cultural
community
communication-
yes,
I
think
that's
great
and
equity,
through
health
literacy.
I
think
that
that
sounds
like
a
very
compliant
project.
Public
service
project.
A
Okay,
I'm
going
to
be
hanging
out
here,
a
little
while
longer.
So
if
anybody
wants
to
stay
around
and
ask
questions,
that's
fine,
but
I
don't
have
any
more
gems
to
distribute
from
my
mind
right
now,
so
feel
free
to
stick
around
for
conversation
or
to
jump
off.
Hopefully,
you'll
use
this
time
to
send
me
an
email
by
roy
about
setting
up
a
one-on-one
by
natalia
nice
to
meet
you
and
we
can
go
from
there
or
maybe
you
want
to
talk
once
there's
fewer
people
in
the
room.
Sometimes
people
like
that.
C
Yeah
anissa,
I
would
love
to
run
my
idea
by
you,
okay,
so
my
idea
is
that,
especially
during
this
time,
people
have
really
needed
telecommunication
services
like
to
be
able
to
do
phone
calls
for
health
appointments
or
video
conferencing
with
their
doctor,
we've
tried.
So
I'm
on
the
enhanced
outreach
team
and
we've
tried
to
provide
cell
phones
to
individuals,
but
it's
so
challenging
even
that
kind
of
support,
because
the
cold
weather
makes
the
phone
not
work.
C
There's
no
electricity
to
charge
the
phones,
so
the
individual
phone
handing
out
is,
you
know
it's
got
a
lot
of
gaps,
so
my
idea
is
to
get
like
a
public
pay
phone
or
like
some
kind
of
kiosk
where
people
communicate,
and
I
think
I
could
argue
that
it
would
help
a
lot
of
people
keep
connected
with
their
medical
needs
and
their
support
needs
during
this
open
time.
But
then
I
don't
know,
I
think
it
would
still
be
a
community
need
has
governed
too
anyway
yeah.
That's
my
thinking.
A
Okay,
I
think
that
I
mean.
I
definitely
think
that
you
would
want
to
put
together
some
numbers
and
find
out
how
logistically
it
would
work
to
have
a
kiosk
out
there
who
would
maintain
it?
How
would
people
pay
for
the
use
of
the
phone,
or
is
it
just
a
free
phone
that's
available
and
if
it's
free,
whatever
think
through
all
the
things
about
that,
I
mean
it
sounds
like
a
very
interesting
project.
A
So
I
could
see
this
kind
of
being
the
same
kind
of
framework,
and
I
can't
see
it
also
being
useful
afterwards
in
the
oers
case,
they
were
providing
access
for
a
certain
number
of
months,
so
I
mean,
I
think,
that
if
you
can
get
the
funding,
you
know
the
numbers
together
of
how
much
it
would
cost.
We
could
then
talk
about.
Do
you
want
to
apply
under
the
regular
action
plan,
or
do
you
want
to
apply
under
the
code
specific
plan?
A
It
definitely
seems
like,
of
course,
there
would
be
a
need
to
have
a
phone
available
during
this
time.
You
know
that
we're
experiencing
vaccine
rollout
and
things
like
that,
but
again
we're
talking
about
like
it
would
be
probably
two
months
minimum
I'm
I'm
could
be
wrong,
but
it
kind
of
depends
on
the
timing
and
then
how
fast
could
such
a
phone
be
installed?
That
might
be
something
you
want
to
research
as
well,
but
it
definitely
sounds
like
an
interesting
idea.
