A
Do
we
have
anyone
here
for
public
comedies
other
than
the
applicants
for
the
hood
funding?
Anyone.
B
Online
I
see
one
person
in
the
waiting
room
that
is
not
scheduled
to
speak,
so
I'm
wondering
if
person
you'd
like
to.
C
B
Don't
see
any
hands
being
raised
and
just
as
a
reminder,
anybody
that
is
in
the
waiting
room
that
would
like
to
chat
and
would
like
to
make
a
public
comment.
I
can
we
can
make
arrangements
to
do
that
at
the
end
of
the
the
end
of
the
hearing
or
when
we
have
time
during.
D
B
So,
as
the
chair
has
said,
the
this
is
the
second
part
of
our
first
public
hearing
regarding
the
2023
action
plan.
We
anticipate
approximately
636
000
available
in
cdb,
unsafe
fear,
plus
program
income,
so
we're
anticipating
a
total
of
of
about
776
600
000,
but
from
cddg
in
the
coming
year
and
about
315
000
in
a
hundred
thousand
is
home
304
000
in
allocation
and
additional
program
income.
B
The
we
are
working
with
anticipated
members
because
HUD
has
not
yet
notified
communities
with
their
actual
allocations
will
be.
As
for
the
public
hearing
itself,
last
the
last
part
of
the
public
hearing
we
heard
about
Economic
Development
and
public
facilities
applications
this
time
we'll
be
hearing
about
housing
and
public
services.
Each
applicant
has
12
minutes
to
complete
their
presentation.
B
We
ask
that
applicants
in
the
blue
time
for
questions
and
answers
from
the
reviewers
that
will
Charles
will
put
a
countdown
clock
on
the
fifth
green,
but
there
won't
be
an
alarm
at
the
end
of
it.
So
if
the
applicant
is
still
talking
at
12
minutes,
I
will
thank
them
for
their
time
and
we'll
need
to
stop,
even
if
they're,
in
the
middle
of
a
even,
if
they're
in
the
middle
of
saying
something
I
believe
that's
it.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
either
online
or
at
present,
please
let
me
know.
B
D
Yes,
I'm
just
disclosing
that
I
am
on
the
board
of
directors
of
inh
jets.
I
announced
getting
paid
for
that
position
and
on
this
board
I
am
not
a
building
members.
B
I
wanted
to
disclose
that
as
I
know,
you're
a
race
staff
member
I
was
involved
with
the
design
and
oversight
of
the
Ithaca
eviction
displacement,
defense
project,
of
which
application
number
16
211
was
a
part.
I
am
not
a
decision
maker
in
this
process
and
I
don't
stand
a
benefit
financially
from
their
application.
However,
if
there
are
questions
regarding
iedd
now's
community
development
director
will
be
answering
most
on
myself.
B
B
A
And
we'll
note
for
the
record
that
Cheyenne
is
a
member
of
the
neighborhood
investment
committee
and
not
a
member
of
the.
Are
you
already
board.
D
A
I
will
disclose
that
I
am
on
the
advisory
team
for
the
iecd
project.
That's
the
application
from
two
one.
One
The
Advisory
Board
is
not
met
since
September
of
last
year
and
I
have
no
financial
interest
and
energy.
A
All
right
so
we'll
we
can
move
on
to
well,
first
I,
don't
we
could
should
ask
if
there's
any
public
general
public
input
on
this
process.
Only
things.
A
All
right,
Congress,
I,
assume,
Leslie
and
Lynn
are
here
for
our
first
project,
which
is
the
Mika
that
we're
going
to
Urban
Housing
Services.
E
B
This
is
the
project
that
we're
proposing
on
Inland
Island,
so
the
project
involves
55
units
in
a
mix
of
Studios
ones
and
two
bedrooms.
It's
our
typical
mixed
income
approach.
We
have
nine
units
that
will
be
for
people
exiting
homelessness,
with
Services
provided
by
Catholic
Charities
and
those
will
be
people
who
are
affected
by
a
substance,
use
disorder
and
Catholic.
Charities
is
providing
operand
services
for
that
popular
Clinic.
Then
we
have
units
at
50
60
of
Ami,
and
then
we
have
some
units
of
90
and
100
of
Ami.
B
So
it's
a
typical
mixed
income
project
for
us.
There's
no
mixed
use
component
within
this
building,
but
the
project
is
a
part
of
the
blue
development
of
Inland
Island,
where
adjacent
to
our
building,
jeffreyland
and
Steve.
Flash
of
Finger
Lakes
development
are
developing
the
Extended
Stay
on
the
component
of
that
Redevelopment
and
the
project
does
include
significant
site
work
on
Inlet
Island
beyond
the
boundaries
of
our
particular
parcel.
So
our
parcel
is
fairly
small.
B
The
first
award
that's
been
made
to
the
project.
We
have
an
application
pending
right
now
with
Tompkins
County,
Housing,
Development
Fund,
and
we're
working
on
the
application
for
the
homeless
and
housing
assistance
program,
which
would
be
funding
Capital
funding
for
those
nine
units,
formerly
homeless
people's
housing.
We
had
a
schedule
in
your
application.
That
may
be
a
bit
optimistic
at
this
point
because
of
the
land
control
site
control
issues.
So
you
probably
know
that
the
property
is
owned
by
the
city,
the
iura
and
the
dec.
B
So
there's
some
negotiation
going
on
around
transfer
of
those
various
parcels
and
consolidation
of
those
parcels
inhs
will
have
well.
We
have
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
Finger
Lakes
development,
so
our
site
control
would
be
only
valid
once
they
actually
have
site
control
for
the
parcels.
So
that's
going
to
require
going
through
the
disposition
process
which
analysis
overseeing.
B
We
are
not
positive
when
that's
going
to
conclude,
we
had
anticipated
that
concluding
by
the
end
of
this
year,
so
that
we
would
have
site
control
and
time
for
an
application.
The
HCR
this
late
this
year.
It
seems
unlikely
that
that's
going
to
happen.
So
we
probably
are
targeting
an
early
2020
or
the
first
round
2024
HCR
application.
We
would
still
need
to
have
the
funding
allocated
in
this
iura
round
because
you
won't
have
another
round
before
we
have
to
submit
that
HCR
application.
So,
although
the
schedule
May
slide
a
few
months,
it
really
doesn't.
B
The
building
is
not
fully
designed,
yet
it's
a
four-story.
You
know
four
stories
of
housing
over
one
story
of
attacking.
D
B
The
lower
level
and
then
the
community
components,
the
community
room,
the
rental
office,
the
service
provider
office
also,
on
that
first
level
and
a
couple
of
the
units
down
on
that
first
level
as
well.
They'll
all
have
balconies
they'll
have
water
reviews,
while
the
people
on
the
water
side
level
are.
C
A
Footprint
impressed
four
stories
instead
of
by
is,
is
that
possibility
been
pursued
at
all
and
also.
B
D
B
Would
it
be
the
founders
in
our
particular
personal
aren't
entirely
set
yet
but
I'm
gonna
guess
it's
around
90
coverage,
their
Finger
Lakes
development
is
trying
to
pull
our
sight
lines
in
as
close
to
our
building,
as
is
reasonable,
so
that
all
of
the
other
adjacent
site.
B
B
So
that's
the
ideas
and
I
are
parcel
as
small
as
possible
as
a
result,
in
regard
to
the
size
of
the
building,
Joe
Bose
was
leading
those
conversations
at
that
time,
but,
as
I
understand
it,
there
was
some
disagreement
on
Council
about
whether
we
wanted
to
try
to
maximize
the
number
of
units
or
make
a
smaller
building,
and
there
was
some
conversation
around
that
we
did
look
at
different
sizes
for
the
building.
B
This
works
financially
I,
don't
know
if
Joe
ran
numbers
on
a
significantly
smaller
building,
but
when
we
get
down
to
that
level,
there's
the
operating
costs
that
are
fixed
that
then,
are
spread
over
a
smaller
number
of
units,
and
it's
highly
likely
that
that
didn't
turn
out
to
to
be
financially
usable
and
on
the
operating
side
of
things.
On
the
capital
side,
it's
always
easier
because
the
smaller
building
you
need
less
money,
yeah.
B
A
There
any
any
room
to
replace
structure
there.
B
Is
so
that's
going
to
be,
though,
because
the
desire
was
to
have
that
be
a
public
play
area
that
is
going
to
be
on
the
the
Finger
Lakes
developments
at
the
larger
site,
not
on
our
specific
site,
but
it's
obviously
available
to
Ireland,
okay.
So
gigantic.
D
B
D
D
A
B
To
rebut
my
friend's
words,
I
think
that
common
Council
asked
a
lot
of
this
project
on
a
small
space
that
needs
environmental
remediation
and
there
was
disagreement
at
the
time
about
priorities.
B
So
we
have
to
be
careful
about
what
we
expect
at
this
point.
I'm
sorry
George.
F
B
Thank
you,
yeah
I'm
I'm
pleased
with
this
development
that
we
will
have
55
units
of
housing,
nine
of
which
will
be
Supportive
Housing,
and
we
very
much
need
Supportive,
Housing,
I'm,
very
glad
that
that's
included
Lynn.
You
mentioned
that,
given
the
certain
issues
still
to
be
resolved,
the
schedule
will
be
pushed
back
slightly
now.
These
funds
are
requesting.
I
note
are
for
architectural
and
Engineering
fees,
so
these
are
on
the
front
end,
presumably
of
the
schedule.
So
can
you
say
a
few
words
about
that.
E
B
B
A
And
then
just
thinking
about
the
low
income,
tax,
credit
and
nine
percent
competition
so-
and
it
just
has
been-
certainly
successful,
but
it's
very
competitive
process
and
it
seems
the
state
allocates
out
regionally
as
well.
So
in
the
seventh
year,
there's
usually.
A
When
you
said
that
this
funding
is
important,
but
these
phones
to
be
awarded
this
round
for
the
HCR
funding,
could
you
explain
how
our
this
funding
impacts,
HCR,
yeah.
D
B
B
Well,
HCR
has
two
rounds
a
year
now.
So,
if
we
weren't
successful
in
the
first
round,
we
would
resubmit
in
the
next
round,
which
is
about
six
or
seven
months
later.
They
haven't
settled
on
specific
dates
for
their
amounts,
but
it's
winter
and
fall,
and
at
this
point
that
they're
doing
them,
the
Tompkins
County
funding
I
believe
is
going
to
have
two
rounds,
but
that's
also
unclear
any
source
that
we
don't
get
in
the
first
round.
B
Obviously
we
just
resubmit
hhap
is
not
it's
just
a
it's
a
rolling
applications
so
that
one
doesn't
have
rounds
that
you
resubmit
on.
If
you
aren't
successful
the
first
time
you
correct
whatever
the
issue
was
and
resubmit
immediately
for
those
funds.
B
If
we
had
partial
funding,
then
we
would
have
to
defer
more
developerly.
That's
generally,
what
happens
is
to
close
that
Gap.
We
pretty
much
max
out
the
requests
that
we
think
are
reasonable
to
the
other.
D
H
Hi
everybody.
Can
you
hear
me
wonderful,
so
my
name
is
Delia
I'm.
The
director
of
home
ownership
at
isca,
NHS
and
I
am
very
proud
to
be
coming
before
you
to
present
about
our
homeowner
rehab
application.
H
In
the
past
couple
of
months,
since
we
wrote
this
application,
inhs
has
done
a
wonderful
job
of
receiving
funding
to
that
could
be
paired
with
the
funding
that
we're
requesting
from
the
iora
to
try
to
address.
We
know
that
the
need
for
repairs
within
the
city
of
Ithaca
really
outstrips
any
funding
that
the
iora
could
potentially
give
us,
and
so
we
look
to
get
as
many
sources
other
sources
to
help.
We
know
specifically
that
there
are
some
restrictions
on
the
funding
from
home
and
cdvg.
H
That
means
that
there's
a
subset
of
homeowners,
we
can't
work
with.
For
instance,
the
folks
that
are
living
in
mates
are
not
eligible
under
the
funding
that
we
get
from
the
iora,
but
we've
been
lucky
enough
to
get
funding
to
help
with
accessibility,
modifications
to
help
seniors
with
emergency
repair
needs.
We
have
pending
some
funding
that
will
hopefully
be
able
to
help
us
with
low-income
homeowners
who
have
who
own
a
unit
and
have
an
accessory
dwelling
unit
that
needs
work.
H
I
think
what
I'm
proud
of
is
not
only
that
inhs
works
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
can
meet
all
the
requirements
of
home
and
cdbg
when
we're
doing
these
repair
funds
when
we're
administering
the
repair
funds
and
really
make
sure
that
we're
leaving
folks
in
a
home
that
is
safe
and
not
having
a
ton
of
repair
needs,
but
often
we
can
increase
what
we
can
do
if
we
have
more
than
one
funding
source
or
weekend
like
I,
said
serve
somebody
that
otherwise
we
would
have
to
say
no
to
based
on
the
restrictions
of
the
funding.
H
We
are
this
project
and
this
request
is
very
scalable,
so
you
know,
if
you
end
up
with
less
money,
you
can
partially
fund
this,
and
we
will
just
reduce
the
number
of
homeowners
that
we
help
under
this
particular
funding.
Source
I
also
want
to
say
that
inhs
has
a
combined
homeownership
Department.
We
have
a
lot
of
synergy
between
our
minor
repair
program
and
these
larger
homeowner
repairs,
so
the
four
staff
that
are
going
to
do
either
the
project
management
of
the
major
repairs
or
the
minor
repair
work
are
always
looking
for.
H
What
who?
What
are
the
repair
needs
of
this
particular
homeowner?
What
sources
do
we
have?
How
can
we
help
people?
We
have
wait
lists
for
both
programs,
so
we're
making
sure
that
we're
really
looking
at
the
whole
picture
of
what
folks's
needs
are
and
responding
to
that
as
best
we
can,
with
whatever
funding
we
have.
H
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
that
inhs
is,
does
our
very
best
to
respond
to
requests
from
and
referrals.
So
we
have
made
presentation
or
presentations
in
the
last
year
to
seniors
at
giac.
We
continue
to
have
a
very
close
relationship
with
Tompkins
County
Office
of
the
Aging,
with
Department
of
Social
Services.
We
work
with
any
social
worker
that
calls
us
with
a
homeowner.
That
is,
you
know
within
our
service
that
we
can
serve
basically
and
try
to
make
sure
that
we
can
serve
folks.
H
Even
if
paperwork
is
something
that's
difficult
with
them,
we
have
done
Outreach
for
this
program,
so
we
have
dropped
Flyers
all
over
the
city
of
Ithaca
for
folks
who
have
senior
tax
exemptions
but
have
not
received
help
from
inhs.
So
we
continue
to
build
our
wait
list
that
way
by
doing
just
direct
supplier
drop-offs
knocking
on
doors
saying
hey,
did
you
know
that
there
is
funding
available?
That
has
helped
us
reach
some
folks?
H
Who
may
not
be
you
know,
looking
at
our
Facebook
posts
or
connected
in
that
way
through
other
services
and
referrals,
so
yeah
I
would
say
this
program.
We
have
strong
staff
doing
the
project
management
and
we
have
been
working
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
are
serving
as
many
homeowners
in
the
city
of
Ithaca
as
we
possibly
can
and
responding
to
their
repair
needs.
I
will
mention
that
the
accessibility
funding
and
the
emergency
funding
that
we
have
is
fairly
limited.
H
So
we
will
probably
spend
this
down
before
that
funding
down
before
we
are
able
to
get
this
contract
executed,
but
at
least
it
allows
us
to
kind
of
mix
and
match
and
help
people,
and
we
intend
to
keep
applying
for
that
funding
as
it's
available.
So
does
anyone
have
questions
for
me
about
the
homeowner
repairs
and
what
inhs
is
doing
bye.
G
F
Curious,
maybe
no.
A
A
H
Sure
have
in
with
nates
it's
because
homeowners
have
to
own
the
land
and
it
has
to
be
on
on
under
which
their
house
sits
for
for
the
home
funding
and
the
cdbg
funding.
H
We're
helping
with
minor
repairs
all
the
time
and
we
are
helping
with
this
new
funding
that
we
got
through
New
York
State
called
restore
that
focuses
on
Senior,
Citizens,
emergency
repair
needs
and
with
our
accessibility
funding.
So
we
piece
together
as
much
funding
as
we
can
to
be
able
to
serve
the
community
of
folks
that
needs
that's.
H
Yeah
that
would
work
that
hasn't
Mo.
Most
of
those
homes
have
been
in
really
good
repair
and
not
needed
major
repair
work.
Thus
far,
so
we
haven't
helped
with
major
repairs:
we've
done
some
minor
repair
stuff
for
folks
over
the
years,
but
not
not
so
much
on
the
major
repair
side.
H
A
B
I'm
curious,
so
it's
a
I
read
that
it's
a
zero
interest
wrong
paid
for
given
after
five
years
unless
they
sell
within
that
five-year
period.
But
if
they
sell
in
year
six,
this
inhs
get
anything
back
from
the
loan
nope.
H
No
at
that
point
the
the
lien
has
been
forgiven
and
then
they
are
free
to
sell
or
you
know,
yeah
there's.
No.
We
have
no
lien
on
the
property
after
year,
five.
B
H
There
may
be
an
increased
market
value
and
most
of
the
repairs
that
we're
tackling
are
really
basic
health
and
safety
thing,
so
we
are
taking
care
of
a
leaking
roof
or
you
know,
stabilizing
lead
paint
we're
dealing
with
basement
issues
that
kind
of
stuff.
So,
overall,
are
we
leaving
the
house
in
in
better
condition?
Yes,
are
we
doing
things
that
are
kind
of
like
considered
sort
of
flipping
repairs?
No
we're
definitely
not
doing
that.
So
I
would
say.
H
You
know
most
of
the
folks
that
we're
working
with
are
like
very
long-term
homeowners
that
are
really
just
struggling
on
very
limited
incomes
with
the
repair
needs
that
they
have
costs
have
gone
up.
So
it's
not
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
seeing
people
saying
oh,
and
when
is
this
lean
going
up
because
I'm
planning
to
set
you
know
they're
they're
in
a
house
that
they
can
barely
afford
and
they
want
to
stay
in
it.
You
know
these
are
long-term
homeowners
really
on
on
on
the
whole,
that
I
can
think
of
everybody
on
our
waitlist.
H
Is
there
because
their
income
has
gone
down
over
the
years
or
stayed
flat
and
everything
else
has
gone
up
and
so
major
repair
needs
are
something
that's
outside
their
budget.
Thank
you.
Yeah.
A
Delia,
the
last
information
I
saw
indicated
that
inhs
or
I'm
sorry,
this
program
had
funds
remaining
from
2021
and
2022,
possibly
235
thousand
dollars,
because
you.
H
H
A
And
one
clarification
both
this
program
and
minor
repair
mentioned
Outreach
to
homeowners
as
seniors
who
qualify
for
that
special
tax
exemption.
A
Is
that
only
referring
to
outreach
or
does
or
do
those
seniors
with
that
tax
exemption
have
an
advantage
in
both
well
I'll
just
asked
about
in
in
the
this
the
major
repair
program.
H
We
build
a
wait
list
that
does
not
that
is
based
on
the
application
date,
so
they
have
an
advantage
in
the
in
the
sense
that
I've
gone
and
knocked
on
their
door
and
pitched
them.
So
they
may
have
returned
that
application
to
me
sooner,
but
we
serve
people
based
on
the
date
they've
applied
for
us
for
the
major
repair
program,
minor
repair
program.
I'll
talk
about
is
slightly
different.
B
H
I'm
ready
so
minor,
repair,
I'll,
just
I
can't
see
who's
asking
me
questions
but
I
think
I
know
Carl's
voice
in
terms
of
our
Outreach
for
the
minor
repair
program
that
has
extended
to
all
of
Nate's.
In
addition
to
the
folks,
like
I
mentioned,
who
we
haven't
served
before,
who
have
a
senior
tax
exemption
in
for
the
minor
repair
wait
list
this
last
year,
I'm
very
proud
of
a
number
of
things
we've
done.
One
of
them
is
that
we
have
come
up
with
a
system
to
respond
to
emergency
needs.
H
So
if
somebody
is
unable
to
leave
a
hospital
or
a
rehab
or
in
hospice,
we
will
bump
them
to
the
front
of
our
wait
list
to
do
the
health
and
safety
items
that
would
allow
them
to
come
home
and.
H
Their
home
we
have
put
in
a
system
where
we
have
a
limited
power
of
attorney
that
we
get
people
to
sign
and
that
will
allow
you
know
a
family
member
or
a
friend
to
sign
for
the
repairs
that
are
needed
and
be
in
the
home.
While
we're
doing
that
repair
work.
I
can
talk
about
one
person
that
we
served,
who
had
no
hot
water,
had
a
just
a
floor.
H
That
was
deteriorated
to
the
point
that
was
unsafe
for
that
person
to
use
the
bathroom,
and
so
we
were
able
to
use
that
Power
of
Attorney
because
they
were
not
in
a
position
where
they
could
sign
regularly.
Their
health
had
deteriorated
to
the
point
where
they
just
weren't
always
able
to
be
available.
H
We
were
able
to
complete
those
repairs
on
an
emergency
basis.
We
have
received
extra
funding
this
year
from
Tompkins
County
Office
of
the
aging
from
December
to
the
end
of
March
of
this
year.
We
will
be
spending
an
extra
eighteen
thousand
dollars
in
materials
money
that
allowed
us
to
buy
in
this
circumstance,
a
new
water
heater
and
a
bunch
of
other
really
exciting
materials
for
homeowners.
H
In
the
minor
repair
program,
we've
been
able
to
rebuild
more
steps
than
we
otherwise
would
we
just
put
in
an
order
for
side
guarding
like
the
kind
of
handrails,
on
the
steps
for
some
concrete
steps
that
were
quite
expensive,
so
we
worked
really
hard
to
within
the
constraints
that
the
office
of
the
Aging
had
for
this
extra
money
to
be
able
to
spend
that
down
so
I'm
really
proud
of
what
we've
accomplished
this
year,
we
are
going
to
hit
both
the
numbers
required
numbers
of
clients
and
new
clients
for
the
funding
that
we
are
administering.
H
Currently,
we,
oh
we
another
accomplishment
that
I
just
wanted
to
talk
about
during
my
time
is
we
just
got
a
grant
for
and
purchased
a
snow
blower
myself
and
other
staff
members
have
been
out
on
our
snowy
days,
offering
clients
to
shovel
their
walks
as
a
part
of
the
minor
repair
program,
and
that
has
been
received
so
well,
and
people
are
just
very
sweet
if
they
have
a
neighbor
that
will
do
it
for
them.
H
They
say
to
us:
no,
no,
let
somebody
else
who
can
use
it
use
that
help,
but
there
have
been
folks
who
say.
Oh
my
child
will
be
so
relieved
that
I'm
not
out
there
with
my
heart
condition
shoveling.
So
we're
excited
to
kind
of
expand.
The
number
of
folks
that
we
can
serve
on
snowy
days,
because
we
now
have
this
no
blower
to
tackle
those
jobs
and
I
and
I
will
say.
H
Part
of
the
minor
repair
program
is
not
just
taking
care
of
the
health
and
safety
needs
of
our
clients
in
the
city,
but
also
providing
some
companionship
so
kind
of
outside.
Of
the
funding
of
the
program
right
where
there
is
an
ear
we
hear
about
people's
health
concerns,
we
are
trying
to
help
them
stay
in
their
homes.
H
Obviously
we,
my
daughter's
class,
made
some
cards
for
folks
during
the
dark
gray,
Ithaca
Winters
and
we're
gonna
try
to
kind
of
expand
that
out
to
some
of
the
after
school
programs,
get
cards
made,
so
we
can
bring
those
as
a
part
of
the
repairs.
Just
a
little
bit
of
cheerfulness
and
Community
Connection.
H
With
the
program
we
have
hired
I
know
there
has
been
discussion
back
and
forth
many
years.
The
folks
who
do
the
repairs,
aren't
necessarily
paperwork
people,
so
I'm,
proud
to
report.
We've
hired
someone
who's
doing
the
administrative
side
of
the
minor
repair
program
and
that
has
increased
our
efficiency
and
reduced
errors
in
the
paperwork.
So
I'm
I'm
very
pleased
with
that
shift
in
the
last
year,
and
we
have
like
I
said
with
the
major
repair
program.
H
The
folks
that
are
going
out
and
doing
minor
repairs
are
also
keeping
an
eye
out
for
what
are
the
more
serious
issues
and
we're
making
sure
that
those
referrals
are
happening.
So,
if
folks
have
larger
needs
than
what
minor
repair
can
tackle,
we
are,
we
are
putting
them
on
the
wait
list
for
for
major
repair
needs,
so
yeah
I
think
that's
basically
what
I
want
to
say
about
the
minor
repair
program.
Does
anyone
have
questions
for
me.
A
B
A
Could
you
address
that?
Please.
H
So
2021
we
have
until
March
31st
again
will
be
spent
down
within
the
time
period
allotted
and
we
will
hit
our
numbers.
I
am
not
concerned
about
that.
We
have
a
strategy
and,
like
I
have
said:
if
it
takes
me
going
out
and
shoveling
or
running
back
and
forth
and
doing
paperwork
I
will
get
this
done.
We
are
very
motivated
to
make
sure
that
we
are
serving
people
as
best
as
we
can
so
I'm,
not
worried
about
that.
H
That's
harder
for
this
program
because
the
funding
from
the
iori
goes
towards
salaries
and,
like
I
said
we
have
two
minor
repairs,
staff,
doing
the
actual
repairs
and
admin,
and
then
this
program
takes
a
lot
of
my
time.
H
Just
to
I,
don't
know
we're
doing
a
lot
of
jobs
at
once,
and
every
thing
is
always
there's
always
a
question
mark
right
or
not
always,
but
you
know:
where
is
the
line
between
a
minor
repair
and
a
major
repair?
How
are
we
solving?
This
thing
is
out
of
stock.
What
are
we
doing?
Where
are
we
getting
it
whatever?
So
there
are,
you
know
there.
The
whole
department
contributes
to
the
minor
repair
program.
Are
the
folks
that
are
generally
project.
H
Managing
major
repairs
are
also
contributing
time
and
expertise
to
the
purchasing
of
materials
and
and
pulling
permits
and
all
the
things
we
have
to
do
so.
This
takes
a
lot
of
Staff
time
to
run
this
program.
I
would
say
less
scalable
than
the
major
repair.
H
H
No
problem,
thank
you
all
very
much
for
your
support
and
it
gives
us
great
joy
to
run
both
these
programs.
I
wish
I
could
share
with
you
all
of
people's
smiles
when
we
finish
the
work
it
during
the
work,
not
always
so
happy,
but
when
it's
done
it's
it's
just.
A
B
Thanks
Delia,
so
we've
admitted
more
people
to
the
waiting
room
or.
B
Zoom
room
so
just
reminding
anybody
in
the
zoom
room.
Thank
you
for
being
here
early.
If
anybody
has
questions
that
they'd
like
to
chat
or
text
me,
please
feel
free.
Everybody
has
my
tax
contact
number
in
signature
lines
of
emails,
I've
sent
you,
including
yesterday's
conversation.
Okay,
now
we'd
like
to
welcome
Leslie
Ackerman,
also
from
imhs,
to
tell
me
to
tell
us.
B
Thanks
Anissa
I'm,
the
last
of
the
terrain
of
unhs
notes
this
morning.
Most
of
you
know
me:
I'm,
Leslie,
Ackerman,
I'm,
the
director
of
sorry,
the
community
housing
best
manager,
so
I'm
responsible
for
all
of
the
development
of
our
four
samples,
which
includes
the
Sears
Street
project,
I,
think
you're
all
fairly
familiar
with
the
project
because
it
came
before
the
ivory
last
year
to
clarify
our
project
involves
the
development.
D
B
Four
new
homes,
but
only
two
of
them,
are
in
the
application.
That's
in
front
of
you.
This
year,
two
homes
received
funding
from
the
IRA
in
last
year's
HUD
entitlement
round
and
now
we're
requesting
funding
for
the
other
two,
so
I'll
be
talking
about
the
project
as
a
four
home
development,
but
only
two
are
being
funded
by
this
request.
B
I
I
think
you
all
know
where
sear
street
is
it's
that
little
Street
packed
away
behind
the
county
property.
As
you
know,
the
property
that
we'll
be
developing
is
the
important
of
a
larger
property.
That's
owned
by
Thompson
County
I
am
very
pleased
that,
just
this
week,
inhs
County
finalize
the
terms
of
the
purchase
agreement.
That
was
a
very
long
road,
but
now
it's
all
settled
and
we
can
continue
moving
forward
with
that.
We'll
have
about
150
feet
of
Street
Frontage
on
Sears.
E
What
the
site
plan
will
entail,
it's
going
to
be
either
for
single-family
homes
or
two
single.
B
Family
and
a
duplex
as
you've
seen
in
the
sketches
in
the
application
materials.
Our
objective
is
to
maximize
the
housing
we
can
put
on
that
property
and
still
make
sure
that
we've
got
attractive
and
really
functional
spaces.
Indoor
and
outdoor
for
the
homes
develop
a
plan
that
is
in
keeping
with
the
neighborhood
it's
a
small
small
parcel.
B
D
B
B
The
plan
is
for
modular
construction,
if
you
recall
our
townhouses
on
itis
and
Cayuga
Street
of
a
couple
of
years
ago.
Those
were
modular
and
we're
excited
to
continue
with
this
method.
We're
working
with
a
modular
Factory
builder
in
Pennsylvania
modular
construction,
provides
some
construction
cost
savings,
which,
of
course,
is
great
because
of
the
efficient
use
of
materials,
there's
less
waste,
there's
more
efficient
labor
in
the
controlled
construction
environment,
but,
very
importantly,
for
this
site.
It
also
significantly
compresses
the
on-site
construction
time
frame.
B
This
will
be
a
much
shorter
period,
the
site
work,
the
foundations
get
built,
and
then
the
homes
are
placed
on
the
foundations.
Most
of
the
rest
of
the
work
is
inside
we'll
also
so.
We've
negotiated
a
construction
easement
with
the
county,
so
access
for
construction
equipment
and
work
is
going
to
be
from
Tioga
Street,
which
is
great
because
of
course,
Cedar
Street
would
be
pretty
hard
to
get
a
cement
truck
down
downstairs
straight.
It's
pretty
tiny.
B
They
there
will
be
two
two
bedroom
and
two
three
bedroom
homes.
They
will
be
the
gold
certified
they'll,
be
all
electric
they
will
meet
or
exceed
all
of
the
city
and
county
standards.
B
If
the
homeowners
are
car
owners
they'll
be
able
to
park
off
the
street,
which
will
can
be
useful
on
a
small
and
congested
Street.
At
this
point,
our
time
frame
looks
like
you
know:
we've
got
the
subdivision
to
formalized,
and
we've
got
the
site
plan
review
with
the
city
to
pursue,
assuming
all
of
our
funding
sources
line
up,
we'll
be
looking
at
instruction
towards
the
end
of
this
year,
which
would
put
the
homes
on
the
market
towards
the
middle
or
third
quarter
of
next
year.
B
Home
buyers
under
80
percent
of
Ami
for
the
current,
the
current
HUD
figures
for
AMI
for
this
area.
Right
now,.
B
D
B
Whether
the
house
is
sold
in
five
years
or
50
years,
that
appreciated
value
will
still
be
affordable
to
the
next
buyer.
At
the
same
time,
the
homes
are
assessed
for
property
tax
at
that
restricted
resell
value,
so
that
provides
an
ongoing
Savings
of
money
in
that
homeowner's
pocket
every
year,
which
is
really
useful
for
their
long-term
affordability.
B
D
A
B
E
Only
release
the
funding
round
for
that
last
October
November,
so
we've
applied
for
that.
We've
received
good.
B
Feedback
and
our
anticipating
confirmation
of
funding
in
late
spring
or
possibly
early
summer,
they've
indicated
that
facial
needs
they
can
get
projects
in
the
pipeline
to
construction
closing
by
the
end
of
the
year.
So
that's
kind
of
thriving
our
time
frame
right
now
for
the
the
whole
project,
yeah.
B
Is
to
follow
up
on
a
Carl's
question
and
your
response:
what
will
be
the
response
of
inhs
if
you
don't
receive
that
full
700.
B
We
will
have
a
gap
potentially
that
we
may
be
able
to
fill
with
part
of
the
developer
fee.
It
really
would
depend
on
how
much
the
award
was
scaled
back.
If
that
were
to
occur,
we
don't
have
any
indication
from
HCR
that
they
would
only
provide
partial
funding.
They've
got
an
allocation
for
this
program
that
they're
looking
to
move
those
funds
out
and
they
want
to
make
projects
financially
feasible,
so
knock
wood.
B
B
Sure,
that's
the
difference,
sure
it's
all
related
to
the
zoning
requirements
and
how
we
can
break
out
the
different
Parcels
for
the
different
configurations.
B
If
we
and
in
either
configuration
we
might
be
looking
at
needing
one
or
more
variances
the
to
break
it
into
four
single-family
Lots,
the
lot
size
would
be
slightly
smaller
than
the
minimum
required.
So
that
would
be
a
variance
if
we
had
a
duplex.
Instead,
the
three
lots
would
be
able
to
be
above
that
minimum
size
and
there
would
be
more
yard
space.
B
B
E
B
Self-Plane
project
that
also
received
funding.
That's
closing
in
a
couple
weeks,
I'm
pleased
to
Value
yeah.
So
that
would
be
two
separate
owners,
so
it
will
still
be
four
households
that
are
gonna,
be
purchasing
and
benefiting
from
the
four
homes.
B
Aren't
necessarily
going
to
have
any
impact
on
on
the
other.
These
are
all
independently
owned.
We
have
to
duplexes
and
Townhomes
and
a
variety
of
locations
and
the
homes
because
they
do
share
a
wall.
They
have
a
what's
called
a
party
wall
declaration
for
the
the
maintenance
of
that
shared
that
shared
portion.
B
A
B
Yeah,
well,
we
were
concerned
about
what
the
sales
process
was
going
to
look
like
in
the
current,
with
the
current
projects
that
just
finished,
because
interest
rates
went
up
so
much
in
the
latter,
half
latter,
eight
months
or
so
of
last
year
and
the
sales
prices
we
had
calculated
based
on
interest
rates
around
four
and
a
half
percent.
Suddenly,
if
we
expect
people
looking
at
six
and
a
half
percent,
it
was
going
to
be
hard
for
them
to
afford.
B
Nevertheless,
all
six
of
the
current
units
at
the
founders
way
and
at
511
South
plain
where
we
found
buyers
for
them
within
a
couple
weeks
of
putting
them
on.
B
Okay,
we're
letting
some
more
people
into
the
zoom
room,
they're
getting
situated
as
Leslie
already
indicated.
That
was
our
last
imhs
presentation
and
next
we're
ready
to
support
a
presentation
about
312
South
Lane
from
Shannon
mccurt
of
Habitat
for
Humanity
and
Shannon.
You
can
start
at
any
time.
Okay,.
I
Thanks
Anissa
so,
as
Lisa
said,
I'm
Shannon,
mccarrick
I'm,
the
executive
director
for
Habitat
for
Humanity
of
Tompkins
of
Cortland
counties,
I'm
happy
to
chat
with
you
this
morning
about
our
proposal
for
312,
South,
Plain
Street,
so
a
little
background.
There's
an
existing
deteriorating
vacant
home
on
the
property
right
now
that
was
formally
used
as
rental
housing.
Our
plan
is
to
knock
that
house
down
it's
not
in
condition
where
we
can
kind
of
work
with
the
layout
or
just
the
condition
that
the
house
is
in.
I
So
we
are
going
to
carefully
deconstruct
and
demolish
that
building
and
replace
it
with
a
new
one
and
kind
of
like
what
Leslie
was
just
talking
about.
We
are
proposing
single-family,
semi-detached
housing,
so
two
units
sharing
a
party
wall,
but
each
owned
by
their
own
separate
occupants
and
buyers.
We
did
this
on
Third
Street
in
Ithaca
back
in
2018,
and
it's
worked
out
really
well.
It
fit
in
nicely
I.
I
Think
with
the
neighborhood,
and
you
know,
the
ownership
structure
has
has
worked
fine
and
and
this
land
the
property
at
312,
Plain,
Street
South,
will
become
a
part
of
habitat's,
Community,
Housing,
Trust
I.
Think
one
thing
that
sets
habitat-
and
this
you
know
these
proposed
homes
apart
from
other
projects
and
housing
projects,
is
our
ability
to
partner
with
first-time
homebuyers,
who
have
household
incomes
of
30
to
60
percent
of
area
median.
So
there
are
definitely
some
options
out
there
for
households
at
the
higher
end.
I
At
the
you
know,
100
or
80
percent,
but
we
try
to
dig
deep
and
we
go
as
low
as
30
percent
of
Ami.
So
this
is
really
a
proposal,
in
my
opinion,
for
deeply
affordable,
Workforce
housing,
which
is
something
that
the
city
of
Ithaca
comprehensive
plan
lists
as
a
particular
need
for
the
city
right
now.
We're
really
happy
to
fill
that
Gap,
also
unique
to
Habitat,
is
how
we
price
our
homes.
I
So
we
do
not
price
based
on
our
cost
of
construction
or
market
rate
we've
priced
based
on
what
our
buyers
can
afford
and
we
kind
of
meet
them
where
they're
at
so
we
do
have
a
big
gap
to
fill
every
time
that
we
build
a
house
and
also
unique
to
Habitat.
You
know
like
Leslie
was
just
talking
about
with
Rising
interest
rates.
I
There
are
a
couple
of
of
mortgage
products
available
specifically
to
Habitat
home
buyers,
and
one
of
them,
but
will
likely
apply
to
this
project,
is
a
sunny
May
mortgage
with
a
two
percent
rate,
and
so
that's
particularly
valuable
to
our
buyers,
especially
right
now,
with
with
interest
rates
being
so
high.
I
One
difference
in
this
application
from
from
past
applications
from
Austin
past
projects,
I
would
say:
is
our
our
funding
Arrangement
our
funding
streams.
So
we
really
focus
this
one
on
home
funds,
Tompkins
County,
Recovery
funds,
our
New,
York
State,
affordable
housing,
Corporation
application
and
home
sale
proceeds.
I
So
we
tried
to
kind
of
simplify
our
budget
instead
of
pulling
together.
You
know
corporate
sponsorships
and
small
events
and
all
these
these
tiny
sources
that
we
sometimes
sort
of
mishmash
to
make
it
all
work.
It
can
quickly
get
complicated
to
really
guarantee
when
we
have
so
many
funding
sources
going
into
a
project,
and
so
we're
hoping
this
is
a
way
to
have
kind
of
a
more
secure
and
and
simple
way
to
fund
this
particular
project
in.
In
addition,
I
think
one
reason
we're
doing
that
that
our
application
might
not
convey.
I
Is
that
we
are
planning
to
nearly
double
our
construction
capacity
in
the
next
two
years,
which
is
exciting
but
causing
us
to
kind
of
aggressively
ramp
up
our
fundraising
requests.
We
typically
have
two,
maybe
three
homes
under
construction
at
once.
It
just
depends
on
kind
of
project,
complexity
and
timing,
and
it
takes
us
about
18
months
to
go
from
start
to
finish.
So
we
are
shortening
and
tightening
our
build
timelines
to
12
to
15
months
and
we're
also
planning
to
be
working
on
three
or
four
Homes
at
a
time
instead
of
two.
I
So
that's
a
lot
of
growth
for
a
relatively
small
organization.
I
These
two
units
on
Clean
Street
happen
to
be
the
only
two
within
the
city
of
Ithaca,
so
you're
not
seeing
those
other
five
homes
in
our
application,
but
but
they're
happening,
and
we
are
hoping
to
close
all
of
those
homes
by
June
2025.
So
we're
kind
of
looking
at
a
two-year
time
frame,
challenging
amount
of
growth
for
sure,
and
if
you
asked
me
eight
years
ago
or
five
years
ago,
I
I,
don't
think
I
would
have
said
we
could
do
it.
I
think
we're
at
a
place.
I
Now,
where
we
have
really
solid
construction
management,
really
stable
and
growing
skilled
volunteer
crew
and
a
tremendous
demand
for
affordable
housing
and
so
I
think
It
Feels,
Like
Our
obligation
to
to
rise
to
the
occasion
and
produce
more
homes.
If
we
can
and
if
we
can
fund
it,
I
think
we've
got
the
capacity
to
do
it.
Otherwise,
so
back
to
our
budget,
we
are
relying
pretty
heavily
on
four
big
sources:
the
Tompkins
County
Recovery,
Fund
kind
of
tipped
us
off.
I
We
applied
for
a
large
amount
of
money
from
that
source
and
received
it,
and
so
now
we're
kind
of
working.
Our
plan,
like
I,
said
to
begin
that
increase
in
our
capacity
we
have
since
submitting
this
application.
We've
applied
to
the
New
York
State,
affordable,
housing,
Corporation
we're
we're
confident
that
money
will
come
through
we've
applied
to
them
for
the
past
12
15
years
and
have
always
received
our
request
and
although
we've
not
closed
on
109
Morris
Avenue.
I
Yet
that
project
is
on
track
to
close
on
time,
so
those
those
funds,
I'm
fairly
confident,
will
come
through
as
far
as
receiving
partial
funding.
It's
a
challenge.
Certainly,
material
costs
are
high
right.
Now,
it's
it's
costing
us
more
to
build
a
home
and
we're
trying
to
build
more.
So
you
know
even
a
five
or
ten
thousand
dollar
Gap.
I
If
we
multiply
that
out
over
all
of
our
projects,
it'll
catch
up
with
us
quickly
and
that's
a
lot
to
fill
in
with
you
know,
fundraisers
and
individual
donations
like
we
normally
we
do,
but
I
think
we
have
some
wiggle
room
with
our
closing
proceeds
from
Morris
Ave
we're
not
we're
not
using
all
of
those
by
any
means
on
this
project,
so
that's
kind
of
where
we
would
Flex
a
little
bit
if
we
had
to
and
to
touch
on
on
timing.
Our
timing
has
shifted
a
little
bit
since
we
submitted
our
application.
I
We've
had
a
few
delays
with
the
closing,
mostly
trying
to
work
out
an
encroachment
agreement
with
the
neighbor.
We've
got
a
little
foot
overlap
with
our
driveways
and
are
just
trying
to
make
sure
everybody
can
fit,
but
I
hope
that
we're
able
to
close
by
May
is
what
we're
proposing
right
now
and
then
we're
going
to
quickly
get
to
work.
It'll,
probably
jockey
our
timeline
by
two
or
three
months,
I
would
say,
but
we're
hoping
not
not
more
than
that
and
otherwise
I'm
happy
to
take
questions
from
all
of
you.
B
Good
morning
everybody
I
think
I'll
start
okay,
Shannon
one
question:
I
didn't
see
that
Comcast
County
community
housing
fund
as
a
potential
Source
student
as
well
yeah.
I
So
we
hadn't
applied
at
the
time
we
did
just
recently
submit
an
application
to
them.
We
applied
for
larger
amounts
for
other
projects
outside
of
the
city,
but
we
did
put
in
a
smaller
funding
request
for
for
these
homes
that
will
really
fill
any
Gap
that
we
had.
So
we
we
have
since
submitted
an
application
to
the
county.
Yes,.
I
So
very
similar
to
what
Leslie
was
talking
about,
because
these
are
land
trust
properties,
so
our
buyers
will
own
the
improvements
upon
the
land
they'll
own,
their
their
house
their
unit,
since
these
do
share
a
party
wall
and
habitat
will
own
the
land
beneath
it
very
similar
structure.
With
that
two
percent
increase
per
year
requiring
that
the
home
is
sold
initially
to
a
buyer,
that's
income
qualified
and
also
resold
down
the
road.
I
So
you
know
an
investment
made
initially
in
affordable
housing
is
going
to
stay
that
way
for
generations
to
come,
and
we
calculate
out
the
household
income
for
our
buyers,
and
then
we
calculate
a
payment
that
is
30
or
below
of
their
monthly
gross
income
to
calculate
their
housing
payment.
So
if
that
winds
up
being
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollar
mortgage
over
30
years
at
two
percent,
they
get
a
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollar
mortgage.
I
So
it's
it's
different
for
every
buyer,
depending
on
their
household
size
and
their
household
income.
But
that's
you
know
in
general,
how
we're
calculating
that
housing
payment
and
finding
that
that
mortgage
amount.
A
Shannon,
looking
at
the
house
last
week,
is
it
occupied
no.
B
F
B
I
We
don't
think
we
need
to
so.
Like
I,
said
kind
of
the
only
issue
we
were
we're
working
on
was
that
little
encroachment
agreement
with
the
neighbor,
but
there
are
no
zoning
issues
and
I,
don't
believe
we
need
any
variances
I.
Think
it's
it's
pretty
straightforward.
We
hope
once
we
once
we
purchase
the
property
yeah,
we
have
talked
to
the
the
building
department,
things
about
it,
we've
kind
of
run
our
Draft
plans
by
them
already
and
things
like
that.
I
So
we
don't
have
an
official
green
light,
but
I
think
we've
talked
to
them
enough
and
provided
them
with
enough
information
that
they've.
You
know,
given
us
an
indication
that
that
things
should
be
smooth
sailing
once
we're
able
to
get
a
building
permit,
and
you
know
once
we
own
a
lot
yeah.
D
J
D
B
B
Since
you're
presenting
online
you
have
the
time
frame
up
there.
There
is
a
jangly
alarm
today,
so
don't
worry
about
doing
over
and
in
group
presentations.
Anybody
from
the
the
group
that's
presenting.
May
you
you
can
pass
the
Baton
to
whoever
you
need
to
in
the
presentation
and
any
of
the
members
May
and
answer
questions
when
the
questions
so
learning
what
please
feel
free
to
start
whenever
you're
ready.
E
All
right
good
morning,
everybody
I'm
Michelle,
Nolan
and
I'm.
The
very
new
director
of
operations
here
at
the
learning
web,
along
with
me,
is
Olin
Mack,
our
executive
director
and
Anthony
pelangeli,
our
youth
Outreach
director
I'm,
going
to
be
doing
most
of
the
presenting,
but
since
I've
only
been
in
the
position
for
two
months,
I
brought
some
backup
in
case
there's
questions
that
I
have
yet
to
be
able
to
answer
so
a
little
bit
about
me
and
our
agency
in
the
past
year.
E
So,
as
I
said,
I've
been
in
the
position
for
two
months
here
and
in
August,
I
retired,
from
public
education
after
33
years,
as
a
teacher
and
administrator
here,
most
recently
in
Tompkins
County
at
TST,
BOCES
and
I
was
fully
ready
and
willing
to
retire
and
not
work,
and
then
this
job
at
the
learning
web
crept.
E
You
know
into
my
Consciousness
and
I
had
a
lot
of
students
at
TST
that
were
served
by
the
Learning
web
and
it
seemed
like
the
agency
could
use
a
little
bit
of
help,
so
I
went
and
applied
and
was
rewarded
with
this
job
and
now
I'm
here
in
front
of
all
of
you.
So
I'm
not
only
a
spokesperson
for
the
learning
web
but
I'm,
a
client,
a
former
client.
E
When
we
would
call
the
Learning
web,
there
was
somebody
always
available
and
our
students
always
received
housing
and
as
a
direct
result
of
the
housing
scholarship
program
for
I,
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
able
to
hand
out
to
these
students,
10
diplomas
and
some
are
still
receiving
services
from
the
agency.
E
So
in
the
last
two
months,
I've
been
reunited
with
a
bunch
of
former
students,
and
that
has
just
been
so
sweet
for
me
to
see
that
post
high
school
they're
still
doing
well
and
that
they're
getting
the
community
support
that
they
need,
and
you
may
be
aware
that
in
the
past
two
years
the
learning
web
has
experienced
quite
a
bit
of
turnover.
E
Olin
has
only
been
the
executive
director
since
April
and
Anthony,
though
he's
been
with
the
agency
for
four
years,
has
been
in
his
director
position
for
less
than
a
year,
but
it's
been
dedicated
staff
members
like
Anthony
that
have
kept
programs
like
the
housing
scholarship
program
going
and
wearing
lots
of
other
hats.
E
It's
been
around
since
2008,
and
even
though
there
have
been
a
tenant-based
rental
assistance
requirement,
changes
we're
ready
to
work
with
our
long-standing
landlords
and
youth
to
make
the
necessary
changes
and
continue
this
program
because
it
provides
such
a
unique
service
to
youth
who
are
homeless
when
a
youth
doesn't
have
stable
housing.
E
All
other
priorities
are
no
longer
priorities,
worrying
about
where
you'll
sleep,
how
you'll
get
there
Etc
day
after
day,
takes
all
of
the
brain
space
and
not
to
mention
worrying
about
being
safe
from
all
kinds
of
harm
that
can
befall
a
young
person
who
is
in
this
kind
of
desperate
situation?
There
are
plenty
of
people
who
will
take
advantage
of
unhoused
youths
in
so
many
ways,
and
you
know
I
don't
want
to
speak
to
that.
E
But
I
would
just
say
that
I've
been
on
the
listening
end
of
many
youth
who
are
not
house,
not
house
stably
having
a
safe
and
warm
place
to
reside
is
a
basic
need,
and
our
housing
scholarship
program
makes
it
possible
for
six
youth
at
a
time
to
have
access
to
housing
so
that
they
can
work
with
our
case
managers
on
other
issues
and
needs
and
skills
to
escape
homelessness
and
successfully
continue
to
navigate
toward
adulthood
and
remain
stably
housed.
E
The
importance
of
the
location
of
these
apartments
should
not
be
underestimated
by
locating
them
in
the
city.
Our
youth
have
much
better
access
to
the
services
that
support
them
to
becoming
self-sufficient
public
transportation,
food,
employment,
educational
opportunities,
other
social
service
agencies
and
the
learning
webs
offices.
E
The
goals
of
our
program
are
well
documented,
I
feel
in
our
proposal,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
report
some
of
the
real
outcomes
that
have
been
achieved
since
the
last
time
we
applied
to
the
iura
for
funding
and
I
think
it's
also
fair
to
note
that
these
outcomes
were
achieved,
even
though
that
we
were
dealing
with
covid-19
and
the
learning
web
was
facing.
Quite
a
bit
of
Staff
turnover
as
I
know,
as
I
noted
just
moments
ago.
E
E
In
addition,
all
participants
have
access
to
health
insurance,
either
prior
to
entering
or
once
they
do
enter
our
case.
Managers
help
to
sign
them
up
for
Medicaid,
so
even
with
our
new
staff,
the
reduced
number
of
case
managers
we're
still
meeting
our
programs
goals
of
80
percent
participants.
Exiting
the
program
will
have
a
safe
exit
to
secure
housing.
E
This
program,
though
it's
on
a
small
scale,
has
and
continues
to
advance
the
city's
goal
of
ending
and
preventing
homelessness.
We
give
our
participants
access
to
resources
and
support
to
allow
them
to
limit
distractions
and
barriers
so
that
they
can
reach
self-sufficiency
since
2008
post-program
exit
are
90.
Percent
of
our
participants
have
been
stably
housed
after
180
days
is
with
such
a
great
deal
of
Pride
and
also
like
I'm
super
nervous.
Obviously,
to
present
this
proposal
to
you,
I
could
not
be
more
proud
or
thankful
for
the
learning
webs
housing
scholarship
program.
E
D
A
E
We're
in
the
process
of
implementing
those
changes
by
having
one-to-one
conversations
with
all
of
our
current
landlords
so
that
we
can
come
into
compliance
with
the
new
regulations.
E
I
think
you
know,
part
of
the
thing
that
has
been
holding
us
back
is
this
turnover
in
Staffing.
What,
but
now
we're
solid?
And
you
can't
see
my
desk,
but
that's
the
first
thing
on
the
top
of
the
pile
is
to
get
these
leases
and
our
landlords
on
board
with
the
changes,
but.
E
You
know
we're
really
banking
on
our
long
time,
relationships
with
these
landlords
over
time,
we're
not
abandoning
them
or
our
or
our
youth,
and
so
we're.
You
know
we're
really
banking
on
that
and
being
you
know,
quite
clear
about
the
changes
and
what
that's
going
to
mean.
K
That's
a
great
question:
thank
you
for
for
asking
the
question.
As
Michelle
said,
we
are
leaning
very,
very
heavily
on
the
relationships
we've
established
with
the
landlords
we
are.
The
the
learning
web
is
acting
as
a
guarantor
in
terms
of
the
fact
that
the
relationship
with
the
landlords
for
them
to
know
that
we
will
be
there
that
we
will
be
there
to
pay
the
rent.
K
We
will
be
there
to
do
the
Intensive
case
management
with
the
participants
and
we
hope
between
us
being
a
guarantor
and
the
intense
case
management
that
we
can
get
the
landlords
to
be
comfortable
in
addressing
having
a
tenant-based
program
moving
forward.
So
we're
confident
that
it'll
happen.
But
it
is
a
process
of
Education
and
it
is
a
process
of
working
those
relationships.
G
B
B
K
One
of
the
great
things
about
We've
we
participated
in
the
youth
demonstration
project.
We
have
16,
we
have
the
ability
to
have
16
units
in
order
to
put
homeless.
Youth
in
the
hope
is
that,
in
some
respects,
the
housing
scholarship
program.
Our
intention
is
to
work
with
between
those
12
and
18
months
to
get
young
people
to
be
sustainable
and
on
their
own.
But
the
youth
demonstration
project
can
act
as
a
or
the
housing
scholarship
program
can
act
as
a
feeder
into
that
permanent
Supportive
Housing
program.
K
So
in
that
respect,
it
does
supplement
and
accentuate
the
things
that
go
on
in
the
housing
scholarship
program.
It
can
act
as
a
feeder
program
if,
if
our
young
people
in
a
housing
scholarship
program
get
the
12
months
of
18
months
and
they're
not
ready
and
we
have
space
in
our
psh
program,
they
can
be
transferred
over
into
that
program.
B
Our
next
presenters
are
also
in
the
zoom
room
and
we'll
be
Switching
gears
slightly
and
bring
some
St
John's
Community
Services
Roy
Moore
with
is
joined
by
Richard
Bennett
to
discuss
their
Sober
Living
reintegration,
Services
application,
Roy
and
please
feel
free
to
start
at
any
point,
and
there
will
be
an
alarm
that
notifies
you
of
the
end
of
your
presentation.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
Hi
good
morning
my
name
is
Rich
Bennett
I
am
the
chief
strategic
initiatives
officer
for
St,
John's,
Community
Services
and
with
me
today
is
Roy
merno
fellow
ithacan
and
our
New
York
Business
Development
Associate
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
thank
Anisa
for
her
support
and
guidance
in
completing
the
application
process,
and
certainly
to
all
of
you
just
for
the
opportunity
to
share
a
little
bit
about
our
Sober
Living
Program.
With
that
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
Roy
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
the
project
actually
is.
C
Good
morning,
everyone,
my
name-
is
Roy
Murdo,
as
Rich
had
mentioned
and
I'm
here
to
talk
about
what
the
program
is
all
about.
St
John's,
Community
Services
is
in
the
process
of
purchasing
a
10
10
bedroom
home
at
402
South
Albany
Street
in
Ithaca.
We
are
also
in
the
process
of
obtaining
a
license
for
from
New
York
State
from
the
New
York
State
Office
of
alcoholism
and
substance
abuse.
Services.
C
The
license
would
be
for
a
reintegration,
housing,
better
known
as
sober
living,
that
that
program
will
help
and
house
individuals
needing
support
to
stay
sober.
We
are
closing
on
the
home
in
the
next
60
days
through
a
combination
of
funding
that
includes
a
down
payment,
25
down
payment
from
St
John's
Community
Services.
We
also
received
funding
from
the
Tompkins
Community
Recovery
Fund,
and
we've
obtained
a
in
and
been
approved
for
a
mobile,
a
mortgage
through
Tompkins
Trust
Company.
C
C
We
are
now
asking
for
an
additional
106
thousand
dollars
that
we
will
use
for
88
000
will
be
used
to
make
a
bathroom
addition,
we're
going
to
add
a
bathroom
we're
also
going
to
make
improvements
to
the
bathroom
and
upgrades
to
assure
ADA
compliance
we'd,
also
like
to
eighteen
thousand
dollars
for
or
are
requesting,
eighteen
thousand
dollars
for
a
security
system
for
safety
and
monitoring
purposes.
L
Thanks
Mike
so
I'm
talking
about
why
I
just
want
to
briefly
talk
about
sort
of
our
evaluation
process
of,
is
this
project
needed
and
then
some
of
the
goals
for
this
project?
What
do
we
hope
to
accomplish?
L
So
we
started
with
our
local
experience
here
in
Ithaca,
sjcs
operates
our
local
shelter,
along
with
our
food
pantry
Day
program
and
some
permanent
support
of
housing.
Actually
Roy
and
I
both
also
had
been
previous
shelter
directors
in
the
last
10
years
and
really
seen
firsthand
the
impact
of
chronic
and
untreated
Addiction
on
the
lives
of
those
we
serve,
including
causing,
at
times
homelessness,
certainly
keep
people
trapped
in
homelessness
and
seeing
greater
returns
back
into
homeless
caused
by
their
addiction.
L
We
then
took
a
look
at
sort
of
national
information
just
to
kind
of
check
that
experience,
and
certainly
both
the
the
National
Alliance
to
end
homelessness
and
samhsa,
acknowledge
that
at
least
35
percent
of
those
experiencing
homelessness
have
a
chronic
substance,
abuse
issue
that
they
are
they're
fighting
from
there.
We
started
reaching
out
to
our
Community
Partners,
just
to
kind
of
check
the
need
for
this
service
and
in
that
process
spoke
to
our
Tompkins
County
Drug
Court
judges,
DSS
Department
of
Health
mental
health.
L
We
had
spent
some
time
with
the
members
of
the
substance
abuse
subcommittee,
Ithaca,
Community
recovery
at
518
and
and
both
cars
and
ADC.
Really
in
all
those
conversations,
it
became
very
clear
that
there's
this
a
current
Gap
in
our
in
our
current
Treatment
Services
here
in
Tompkins
County
that
they've
all
been
very
supportive
and
encouraging
of
this
process,
as
we
have
sort
of
talked
about
how
we
can
work
collaboratively
to
support
those
who
are
experiencing
unsafe
or
unstable
housing,
along
with
addiction
issues.
L
From
there
we
started
to
talk
about
what
would
be
the
goals
of
a
project
like
this.
You
know,
certainly
starting
with
our
own
mission.
We
we,
but
we
fight
for
and
believe
that
every
person
should
have
the
right
and
opportunity
to
live
their
best
lives.
As
we
run
a
shelter.
L
One
of
the
goals
certainly
is
to
support
those
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
or
unstable
or
unsafe
housing,
and
really
try
to
create
a
treatment
model
that
can
act
as
a
bridge
to
support
them
in
early
recovery,
to
move
out
of
homelessness
and
towards
sort
of
safe
and
stable
housing.
Specifically
for
this
project,
the
goals
would
include
certainly
gaining
skills
and
tools
to
help
break
the
cycle
of
addiction
and
stay
sober,
helping
them
to
build
a
sober
support
network
connecting
them
with
and
helping
them
access.
L
Local
treatment
and
Health
Care
community
supports
helping
them
to
gain
employment
or
other
Educational
Services,
and
certainly
on
the
other
side
of
that,
helping
them
to
find
and
obtain
and
move
into
safe,
sober,
long-term
permanent
housing.
You
know,
while
how
that
is
certainly
the
big
goals
we
appreciate,
and
certainly
you
know
the
only
state
differently.
L
The
the
normal
timeline
for
this
program
would
probably
be
around
six
months,
but
we'll
really
run
the
gamut
of
maybe
three
months
to
a
year
as
we
really
help
people
navigate
the
challenges
of
early
recovery
and
to
build
a
foundation,
and
so
that
really
represents
the
program
and
the
design.
A
Okay,
so
this
is
the
first
question,
sir.
The
first
question
is:
if
you
fail
to
obtain
the
license
from
the
what
is
it
o-a-s-a-a-a-s.
L
It
would
obviously
negatively
impact
this
project
just
so
you
know
we
have
gone
through
a
first
round
assessment
process.
We've
also
worked
very
closely
with
our
local
governing
unit
to
really
just
assure
the
viability
of
the
project
and
really
it
defines
sort
of
a
plan
B,
as
we
did
sort
of
our
own
Financial
evaluation
plan,
a
is
sort
of
obviously
this
Oasis
kind
of
model,
and
really
just
to
be
clear,
so
Oasis
housing
and
this
level
of
care
is
treatment,
and
so
as
opposed
to
housing.
L
If,
however,
this
model
doesn't
work
and
we
believe
it
will-
we've
got
high
confidence
in
working
closely
with
Oasis
staff
and
Roy
can
speak
to
that
a
bit
as
well
as
our
local
supports
and
the
governing
unit
believe
it's
high
likelihood.
If
not,
though,
we
will
move
towards
sort
of
again
a
similar
set
of
goals
and
a
permanent
permanent
housing
approach.
C
Go
well,
and
just
so
you
know
the
you
can't
submit
an
application
to
Oasis
until
you
actually
have
the
facility,
they
don't
license
the
organization.
Well,
they
do
license
the
organization,
but
you
have
to
have
a
facility
to
to
have
your
program
before
you
can
submit
for
a
license.
I've
been
working
with
Oasis
their
regional
office
for
the
last
six
or
eight
months,
going
through
the
process
and
I'm,
confident
that
that
this
application
will
be
approved.
D
G
B
L
Kicked
out
again,
this
is
a
treatment
level
of
care.
Our
first
in
or
so
determination
of
Entry
of
the
program
is
based
on
sort
of
a
clinical
determination
of
need,
certainly
and
again,
I
I,
don't
mean
this
in
anybody
flippily,
but
certain
relapse
can
be
part
of
early
recovery,
and
so
no
a
a
relapse
will
not
be
an
automatic
determination
of
a
need
for
a
higher
level
of
care.
I
think
would
be
first,
an
evaluation
of
supports
and
systems
that
could
really
kind
of
be
brought
to
bear
and
wrap
around
them
to
support
them.
L
F
Right
and
Rich
just.
B
C
As
you
go
through
the
house,
it's
currently
configured
in
a
10
bedroom
configuration.
However,
many
of
the
rooms
were
used
for
storage.
One
different
different
rooms
are
very
big
and
can
be
split
up
very
easily
can
be
made
into
a
14
bedroom
for
14
units,
and
everyone
will
have
their
own
bedroom
and
they'll
be
there's
a
a
big
area
for
a
common
living
area,
a
big
kitchen,
dining
room
so,
but
everyone
will
have
their
own
bedroom.
L
And
really
for
the
most
part
Nails,
it
really
includes
adding
a
few
doors,
maybe
cutting
out
a
door.
You
know
building
in
a
few
closets,
but
it's
really
minor
interior
kind
of
work
to
make
that
change
happen
right.
A
Looking
at
the
budget
for
the
project,
it
appears
that
you've
obtained
the
mortgage,
which
is
575
000,
approximately
and
funding
from
the
top
the
Campus
Community
recovery
from
fund,
another
252
000..
So
how
much
funding
then
remains
for
you
to
raise.
L
So
again,
just
sort
of
breaking
this
down
in
terms,
certainly
the
first
part,
is
the
purchase
of
the
property.
St
John's
is
going
to
to
pay
sort
of
a
down
payment
of
25
of
that
and
then
use
the
mortgage
to
cover
the
the
remaining
75
percent
of
the
mortgage,
as
we
put
together
sort
of
the
pro
forma
of
the
project,
they're
certainly
going
to
be
startup
costs,
and
so
part
of,
though
at
the
top
is
community.
L
Recovery
Fund
we'll
cover
is
mortgage
gas
heat
and
electric
early
Staffing
costs
before
there's
revenue
and
kind
of
help
support
us
in
that
first
six
months,
and
so
the
operational
budget
and
again
I'm
not
sure.
If
this
is
your
question
will
really
be
closer
to
400
to
500
000
a
year
at
full
operation,
and
we
do
believe
that
will
be
covered
through
a
combination
of
Medicaid
and
local
care
level.
L
Two
funding
we
do
have
the
funding
now
to
open
and
start
the
home
and
with
the
Tompkins
Community
recovery
funding
should
be
able
to
help
cover
US
during
those
first
60
days.
This
funding,
obviously,
is
really
about
sort
of
that
final
part
of
what
we
honestly
initially
had
asked
for
through
the
time
consumer
Recovery
Fund.
That
and
added
specifically,
that
additional
bathroom
to
support
larger
numbers
and
the
security
system.
Just
sort
of
secure
safety
and
support.
L
C
D
I
J
M
It's
no
problem:
hi
everyone,
I'm
Michaela
Courtright.
Thank
you
for
having
me
here
today,
I'm
with
Catholic
Charities
I
was
gonna.
Tell
you
about
our
security
deposit
program.
I
was
going
to
give
you
some
updates
on
the
program
a
little
bit
of
program
history,
so
for
over
25
years,
Catholic
Charities
has
been
providing
a
variety
of
assistance
to
low-income
individuals
that
are
really
struggling
to
make
ends
meet
fairly
soon
afterwards.
M
We
also
saw
that
households
receiving
Section
8
vouchers
were
struggling
to
come
up
with
security
deposits,
since
it's
not
included
in
that
program
either.
So
we
developed
our
own
security,
deposit
assistance
and,
after
19
years
running
it's
one
of
our
most
utilized
Services
other
than
our
free
clothing
closet.
M
Historically,
30
of
our
applicants
have
been
homeless
or
housing
insecure
in
order
to
be
eligible,
applicants
need
to
needed
to
First,
provide
a
DSS
assistance.
Denial
letter
DSS
also
has
a
security
deposit
program,
but
it
is
more
of
a
a
voucher
kind
of
situation,
so
landlords
in
our
program
would
have
to
agree
to
the
arrangement
which
is
to
provide
a
12-month
lease
and
then
consent
to
a
third
party
inspection
of
the
unit
and
then
allow
the
applicant
to
move
in
before
receiving
the
guaranteed
payment.
M
Applicants
were
then
approved
for
partial
payments
up
to
750
and
then
we're
responsible
for
the
remaining
amount
landlords
returned
deposits
directly
to
tenants
if
they're
in
good
standing
once
their
lease
is
over
and
then
that
money
was
meant
to
be
used
towards
their
next
security
deposit.
So
that's
a
little
bit
of
our
program
in
the
nutshell.
So
some
of
our
developments
over
the
years
in
2016
we
joined
a
partnership
program
called
housing
for
school
Success
with
Beverly
jmr
in
Ithaca
housing
authority
and
inhs.
M
Also
during
covid
Apartments
were
allowed
to
be
self-inspected
by
landlords
and
tenants,
which
continues
today,
sometimes
as
needed.
We
have
some
since
done
away
with
the
requirement
of
denial,
letters
from
DSS
and
last
year
we
were
finally
able
to
begin
assisting
with
full
security
deposits
within
the
fair
market
rate,
so
no
longer
capped
at
750..
M
All
paperwork
and
meetings
can
be
done
virtually
if
needed,
and
this
is
extra
helpful
for
people
struggling
with
Transportation
issues
or
have
day
jobs
that
they
are
not
able
to
leave
for
an
appointment.
M
Last
year
we
served
70
79
households
representing
174
people,
56
of
those
were
housed
within
the
city
of
Ithaca.
The
majority
of
our
applicants
are
single
parents
and
38
of
everyone.
We
served
last
year
was
either
homeless
or
in
the
HSS
program
that
housing
for
school
Success,
the
average
security
deposit
is
approximately
eleven
hundred
dollars,
but
it
does
range
and
89
percent
of
those
that
we
could
reach
for
follow-up
indicated.
They
have
remained
housed
so
hopefully
know
a
little
bit
more
about
this
program
and
what
it
does
for
the
community.
B
D
G
A
M
So
750
used
to
be
what
we
would
cap
our
partial
payments
and
then
the
client
was
responsible
for
the
other
remaining
amount.
But
now
we're
able
to
do
full
deposits
for
people.
A
Thank
you
yep.
Another
question:
you
had
the
program
had
some
funds
from
prior
years.
Yes,
I
mean
going
all
the
way
back
to
2019
and
20
in
a
relatively
small
amounts.
How
long
do
you
project
those
or
when
do
you
project?
Those
prior
to
your
funds
would
be
used,
go
ahead.
A
I'm,
sorry
and
the
question
is:
why
haven't
they
been
used
so
far.
M
We've
been
able
to
get
through
the
19
2019-20
we've
moved
on
to
the
2122,
and
that
is,
as
of
yesterday,
about
50
spent
down,
maybe
a
little
bit
more,
and
so
we
have.
We
do
have
a
remaining
grant
left.
M
M
We
do
anticipate
this
next
Grant
once
we
start
it
to
most
likely.
If
we
keep
up
this
rate
to
run
out
I
think
we
said
maybe
third
quarter
of
next
year,
so
there
would
be
a
gap.
We
would
run
out
of
that
last
funding
by
that
time.
B
Is
I
have
two
questions?
Is
there
any
potential
to
serve
more
than
five
below
not
Bill,
Sherman
bjm
families?
So
that's
one
question
and
is
there?
Is
there
ever
a
case
where
the
lease
ends
and
the
security
deposit
is
refunded
and
if
so,
is
it
refunded
to
you
or
to
whom
would
it
be
prevented?
If
that's
ever
the
case.
M
M
Either
way
all
deposits
are
are
given
directly
to
the
tenant
they're,
not
refunded
to
Catholic,
Charities
or
iura
the
only
time
the
landlord
would
keep
it
is
if
it
needs
to
go
towards
damages
or
the
person
broke.
The
lease.
M
Oh
and
typically,
we
would
be
able
to
Reserve
extra
or
have
extra
funding
to
help
a
family
in
the
HSS
program.
If
we
go
above
five,
applicants.
F
B
An
extra
demand
for
the
program,
or
is
it
pretty
consistent
on
a
calendar
basis.
M
It
has
actually
we've
noticed
this
last
quarter
when
we
first
began
the
2122
Grant.
M
The
majority
of
our
applicants
were
four
Founders
way
and
they
filled
up
fairly
quickly,
so
that
did
increase,
but
I
I
would
say
with
the
amount
of
housing
that's
planning
to
go
up
in
the
next
year.
So
we're
probably
going
to
stay
pretty
consistent
with
that
new
number
of
about
18
applicants
per
quarter.
It
did
go
up
a
bit.
B
J
Good
morning
my
name
is
Meryl
Phipps
and
I
am
the
executive
director
at
the
Village
I
am
joined
today
in
the
audience
by
one
of
my
programs,
Marquis
Godfrey,
who
offhandedly
suggested
he
might
be
interested
in
learning
more
about
the
financial
tag
along
I'd
like
to
take
any
seven
points
after
being
incredibly
helpful
as
a
resource
for
our
first
time
applicant.
We
like
ourselves
the
material
that
she
has
available,
particularly
in
advance
of
this
presentation,
were
really
useful.
So
thank
you
for
that.
J
The
Village
Ithaca
has
been
advocating
for
equity
and
public
schools
and
related
symptoms
for
over
20
years,
through
academic
support,
family
advocacy
and
other
responsive
programming.
In
2019
we
relocated
our
main
office
to
a
high
visibility
location
on
the
corner
of
Seneca
and
plain
streets
in
order
to
make
our
services
more
visible
and
accessible
to
families.
When.
D
J
J
We
especially
noticed
an
increase
in
students
who
were
struggling
to
succeed
in
school
due
to
housing
and
food
insecurity,
while
youth
homelessness
can
sometimes
be
invisible,
as
young
people
are
on
the
camp
surfing
rather
than
sleeping
outside
or
accessing
the
adult
shelter
system.
The
pandemic
show
delay
on
a
problem
that
our
community
has
always
noticed.
A
J
We
were
also
able
to
open
a
nine-fed
transitional
youth
happening
program
located
in
the
rental
property
around
the
corner
from
our
office,
while
our
office
building
itself
is
an
amazing
home
for
us.
In
many
ways
it
needs
new
expansion
in
order
to
fully
meet
the
needs
of
our
organization.
Currently,
we
have
been
working
with
Jason
and
Kerry
Demarest
on
the
idea
of
Miss
the
actions
since
initially
thinking
about
buying
the
building
in
2021
better.
J
Now,
at
the
point,
once
you've
come
to
iura
at
Stanford's
report
from
part
of
that
construction
project,
our
Expansion
Project
includes
the
salon
and
Retail
faith
on
the
first
floor
of
physical
for
two
existing
Village
programs
around
age,
grading
and
Village
Market.
The
second
and
third
floors
are
the
focus
of
this
I
Ura
application
ever
contained
three
apartments:
one
two
bedroom
and
two
Studios
to
add
to
our
portfolio
Supportive
Housing
Services.
J
J
Adults,
Youth
and
families.
However,
even
when
these
programs
are
at
full
capacity,
there
are
still
many
young
people
left
behind
on
waitlist
and
without
appropriate
housing
options,
particularly
as
they
wait
for
our
thoughts
and
premium
Supportive,
Housing
Programs,
or
particularly,
for
young
people
under
the
age
of
18
or
families.
D
J
Projects
like
this
to
advance
the
clouds
as
a
whole,
especially
since
we
already
have
a
supportive
pain
management
structure
in
place
within
analysis
on
educational
success.
As
part
of
those
rapid
services,
we
have
three
different
options
for
the
ongoing
funding
of
their
ongoing
rental
costs.
At
the
unit
once
they're
conducted,
you
can
accept
10
abuse,
medical
assistant.
J
We
could
roll
the
units
into
our
next
round
of
yhtp
funding
or
we
can
Service
as
a
landlord
for
an
existing
housing
scholarship
program
or
some
combination
of
I
request
for
construction
costs.
For
these
three
units,
all
of
our
cost
estimates
were
prepared
by
dates
and
families,
who's
contributing
his
services
to
the
project
and
the
in-kind
donation.
J
The
three
housing
units
would
cover
a
total
of
21
2160
square
feet
of
space.
The
total
budget
for
the
entire
health
and
component
is
about
850
000.
We've
already
received
a
commitment
of
150
000
from
the
top
of
the
County
Recovery
Fund
Grant,
and
an
additional
donation
of
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
at
the
kickstarter
from
Tompkins
Financial
we're
looking
at
a
construction
timeline
of
November
2023
October
24th
we've
been
in
the
skyline
phases,
although
Not
So,
Silent.
J
What
capital
campaign
for
quite
some
time-
and
this
is
through
the
next
step
in
our
in
our
funding
classes,.
J
All
of
the
unhouse
youth
who
would
be
eligible
for
our
programming,
a
few
followers
of
the
60
of
Ami.
Just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
some
sort
of
numbers
you
through
our
yhcp
project
and
we
were
able
to
take
our
existing
coordinatory
system
and
bifurcate
it
into
a
youth
and
adult
system
at
the
last
meeting
of
the
Euphoria
industrial
team.
J
That
reporting
to
this
youth
on
the
on
the
list,
who
don't
currently
have
an
option
or
on
a
waitlist
for
a
program
or
something
good,
and
that
is
really
an
incredible
under
count,
because
many
young
people
know
that
they
are
weightless
or
that
they're
not
eligible,
and
somebody
else
even
seek
out
the
coordinator,
Tree
Service
in
the
first
place.
So
those
are
sort
of
the
database
that
we
have
to
demonstrate.
The
need
for
the
project.
I,
usually
don't
even
say
that
I
can
talk
about
the
village
for
many
many
hours.
B
Thank
you.
It's
wonderful
to
see
first-time
applicants,
so
thank
you.
I
did
have
a
question
about
your
fundraising:
the
goal
of
476
000,
which
is
a
considerable
amount.
Yes,
and
can
you
speak
about
that?
How
much
has
been
already
unsecured
and
what
is
your
plan
if
that
significant
amount
is
not
good,
so.
J
I
think
one
of
the
positive
about
this
project
is
that
we
do
have
a
fairly
expanded
timeline.
The
Recovery,
Fund
grants
I
think
we
haven't
A6
to
defend
we're
here
at
iura.
I
know
that
you
have
a
fairly
kicked
off
timeline
as
well.
Our
the
Denver
star
invested
in
the
project
as
whether
it
takes
one
year
two
year
or
five
years.
We
at
my
board
are
committed
to
the
project.
It'll
take
the
time
that
it
takes
to
raise
the
money.
J
I
will
say
that
from
2019
and
we've
expanded
our
organizational
budget
by
almost
400,
because
we
have
grown
so
significantly
because
we
came,
we
expanded
at
a
time
where
racial
Equity
issues
were
really
at
the
Forefront
of
our
community
and
the
country.
We've
really
been
able
to
access
lots
of
funding
that
we've
not
been
eligible
for
before
we're.
Actually
in
a
lot
of
groups
like
this,
where
we
are
first-time
acts,
and
so
we
are
getting
to
a
place
where
I
think
they
do
know
how
to
manage
this
kind
of
funding.
B
Work
just
a
follow-up:
can
you
clarify
the
development
staff
so
with
what
I
saw
was
it
was.
D
J
We
do
have
a
part-time
development
staff
where
we
have
a
part-time
development
staff
who,
in
my
dreams,
would
be
working
full-time,
but
she
has
another
job,
so
we're
actually
looking
for
a
full-time
development
coordinator
or
a
nomination
of
a
development
and
communication
coordinator.
For
that
reason,
if
you
know
anyone.
A
You'll
be
serving
youth
14
to
18.
are
youth,
underage
18.
Do
they
have
to
be
emancipated
by
their
legal
Guardians.
J
It's
one
of
those
areas
of
law
in
which
the
sort
of
federal
and
state
regulations
have
been
his
relationship
in
an
interesting
way.
What
we
have
the
way
that
we've
approached
it
is
that
we
there
is
no
legal
emancipation
for
young
people
anymore.
I
am
I,
am
I,
have
a
background
as
an
attorney
in
Juvenile
Justice
work
for
those
who
don't
know.
J
What
we
have
found
is
that
for
the
population
between
14
and
17,
if
they
need
to
access
our
Housing
Services,
they
do
it
with
the
consent
of
their
character,
Guardian,
which
in
our
practice,
has
not
been
super
difficult
to
obtain.
A
lot
of
our
young
people
are
homeless
because
their
families
can't
but
can't
find
adequate
housing
for
the
size
of
their
family
and
not
because
they
don't
watch
their
family
be
able
to
stay
together.
So
that's
the
the
practice
that
we've
been
engaged
in
that
has
been
working
for
us.
J
On
their
own,
if
a
child
becomes
aware
of.
J
D
A
J
The
plan
is
to
continue
pursuing
both
grant-based
funding
and
really
fully
pick
up
our
our
personal
filmographic
actual
campaign
and
then
I'll
be
back
next.
D
H
B
J
B
Yes,
reset
milestone
in
our
program,
which
is
now
we're
moving
to
Public.
B
And,
as
we
have
some
folks
who
are
presenting
in
the
future
entering
our
living
room
went
out
for
application
number
16,
which
is
2-1-1
information.
B
Today
or
two
of
my
colleagues
and
I
just
want
to
start
by
thanking
you
for
the
past,
support
that
you
have
given
to
the
211
program.
So,
as
you
may
know,
211
provides
information
and
referral
services
to
any
member
of
our
community.
However,
we
do
primarily
serve
people
who
fall
within
a
lot
of
modern
economies
that
the
program
focuses
on
this
morning.
This.
B
Propose
to
provide
with
the
support
of
cdbg
funding,
in
addition
to
the
traditional
two-on-one
information,
Referral
Services,
we're
also
now,
including
housing
acquisition,
services
and
RFS
this
year.
This
work
is
driven
by
the
community,
need
that
we've
seen
at
211
and
the
kinds
of
requests
for
our
systems
that
we've
seen
and
it
directly
relates
to
the
needs
and
goals
identified
both
in
the
cities
Consolidated
plan
and
in.
B
Needs
assessment
for
for
multiple
supported
positions
in
the
housing
System,
including
supporting
people
before
they
become
unhoused
while
they
are
homeless
and
then,
as
they
are
transitioning
into
new
housing
and
power
proposal.
This
woman
really
focuses
on
that
first
piece
to
help
to
help
people
by
implementing
them
from
becoming
misplaced.
In
the
first
place.
B
Special
programs
to
meet
some
of
those
some
of
those
dates
more
directly.
One
of
the
biggest
areas
of
increased
need
that
we've
seen
over
the
past
year
has
been
related
to
housing.
B
Defense
pilot
project,
which
has
been
a
partnership
with
the
Ithaca
urban
renewal
agency
and
the
City
of
Ithaca,
along
New,
York
or
no
law
school.
Another
time.
We're
excited
to
extend
the
sort
of
beyond
the
pilot
phase,
as
it's
been
so
important
and
so
successful
in
supporting
folks
in
our
community
we're
proud
of
the
work
we
do
at
2-1-1
and
the
impact
that
we
have
and
helping
members
our.
B
Way
and
now
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
Nicole
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
specifically
about
what
we
do
hi
good
morning
on
the
first
time
view
iora
board
for
your
continued
support
of
the
201
program,
I'm
going
to
talk
briefly
about
some
current
trends
in
the
211
Center,
as
well
as
some
upcoming
projects
that
we
have
for
this
year.
So
if
some
of
you
may
recall
previous
years
this
time
of
year,
we
are
screening
and
scheduling
for
the
Vita
voluntary
income,
tax
assistance.
B
Though
Alternatives
is
no
longer
offering
the
service,
there
are
still
a
number
of
options
for
the
end
of
the
city
residents
for
receiving
no
cost
tax
filing.
For
this
year,
2-1-1
also
has
continued
to
operate.
The
fish
volunteer,
Medical
Transportation
program
this
year.
Fish
is
facing
a
couple
of
transitions.
They
are
looking
for
a
new
director,
but
for
two
on
one
we
are
in
the
process
of
transitioning
the
operations
of
fish
to
a
new,
a
new
tech
platform
called
ITN
Rhymes
ITN
stands
for
independent
Transportation
Network.
B
We're
excited
about
this
because
it
will
allow
for
use
of
ride,
booking
and
recording
and
currently
we're
just
giving
some
of
the
data
we'll
go
over
into
the
new
system,
and
that
is
exciting
to
launch
so
here.
This
is
great.
201
also
continues
to
process
applications
for
the
United
Way
2-1-1
Alice
program.
Since
2020
this
program
is
provided
direct
financial
assistance,
yeah.
B
So
we
were
really
happy
to
be
a
part
of
that
and
finally,
211
is
involved
in
a
couple
of
large-scale
large-scale
upcoming
Mobility
programs
this
year,
that
will
impact
City
residents,
first
of
which
you
probably
heard
about
the
nyserda
grants,
the
ECA
or
electric
electric
transportation
access
that
was
in
the
news
201
his
part
room
with
tpat
and
some
other
local
agencies
each
having
a
role
in
launching
programs
to
support
access
to
electric
vehicles.
B
The
other
project
we're
involved
with
is
the
Tompkins
Mobility
as
a
service
which
is
coming
later.
This
year,
customer
focused
multimole
Transportation
assistance
for
both
these
projects.
Two
online
will
provide
the
customer
service
support
and
both
of
which
are
like
mentally
playing
phases
and
expect
to
launch
in
the
summer
months.
So
thank
you
and
I'll
ask
another
brand
to
talk
about
about
housing
and
eventually
this
is.
G
G
To
those
referrals
by
under
you
know,
through
my
Partnerships
with
other
agencies
that
I
work
closely
with
like
DSS
staff,
Charities
management
at
New,
York,
so
I
I
often
do
warm
referrals
or
email
referrals
or
attempt
to
you
know
help
people
navigate
through
getting
access
to
these
things.
G
So
I
additionally,
take
in
addition
to
housing.
Referrals
I
took
a
whole
liquid
approach
to
offering
the
resources
since
I
have
access
to
the
201
database.
So
if
there's
trans
expectation
needs
food
issues,
mental
health
or
whatever
I
can
familiar
with
the
database
and
give
off
those
referrals
as
well.
So
we've
attempted
to
make
this
role
as
accessible
as
possible
through
three
different
Avenues
one
I'm
directly
connected
to
the
2-1-1
information
online.
G
So
as
call
housing
calls
come
in
chats
and
get
connected
from
my
2-1-1
partners
to
the
more
difficult
housing
situations
to
go
into
more
depth
in
with
people
and
follow
up
with
them
on
an
offer
more
detailed
service.
G
Additionally,
by
attending
in
for
the
city
court,
which
I
attend
weekly
to
meet
with
tenants
and
landlords
and
provide
resources
that
way
and
through
Outreach
events
to
low-income
housing
developments
as
well
as
another
way
attempt
to
which
people
will
make
it
more
accessible.
So
the
first
talking
about
get
to
the
city
court
they've
been
going.
You
know,
since
the
election
went
before
the
eviction
moratorium
and
meet
tenants
there
that
are
very
nervous.
G
You
know
this
is
a
traumatic
kind
of
experience,
they're
about
to
potentially
lose
your
housing,
so
I
tried
to
meet
them
before
the
case
starts
and
talk
with
people
about
their
options
in
terms
of
Parental
assist
resources,
and
let
them
know
also
that
you
can.
If
it's
your
first
time
report,
you
can
request
it
to
meet
your
German
legal
assistance
and
things
so
often
long
York
is
there
as
well
so
there's
a
sort
of
a
group
events
that
are
so
important
to
provide
the
support
assistance?
G
Additionally,
I,
you
know,
connect
with
the
landlords
and
property
managers
as
well
trying
to
develop
a
relationship
with
them.
So
I
can
sort
of
a
win-win
situation
like
impact
their
tenants
with
parental
assistance.
They
can
get
paid
and
and
develop
those
relationships
in
the
future.
So
they'll
connect
me
with
other
tenants.
G
One
example
was
in
May
of
2022:
there
was
a
step
West
Village
in
17
Innovations
on
the
docket,
so
it's
very
conservative
offensive
reached
out
to
the
property
manager.
I've
been
seeing
me
in
court
and
got
to
know
a
little
bit
and
asked
me
to
come
up
and
provide
resources
that
she
agreed
so
got
several
Partners
like
DSS
law,
New
York
and
we
all
went
up
there
and
and
the
property
manager
reached
out
to
the
tenants
and
safety
of
the
17th
and
it's
actually
came
and
gotten.
G
Addictions
were
prevented
at
that
time,
and
so
that's
an
example
since
that
point
we've
been
going
up
there
every
month
and
bringing
different
providers
like
Alternatives
and
Catholic
Charities,
Salvation
Army
different,
so
we're
trying
to
meet
people
where
they're
at
and
trying
to
get
Upstream
as
far
as
possible
to
prevent
Innovation.
So
the
property
managers
putting
our
employer
on
people's
doors
and
stuff
like
that,
so
they'll
come
to
the
event
and
so
attempting
to
prevent
crisis
before
it
happens.
So
that's
it.
G
And
let's
not
have
any
questions
foreign.
A
B
County
government
programs
yeah
so
so
for
this
about
2.2
answers,
so
so
one
is
Tompkins,
County,
Sports,
201,
General
operating
and
in
addition,
we
have
been
successful
in
securing
a
Pakistani
Recovery
Fund,
bring
up
to
support
the
the
Gap
filling
that
I
mentioned
earlier
in
the
overall
consumable
care
system
with
those
different
housing
navigation
positions.
B
So
we
have
support
that
is
partially
contributing
to
to
the
work
that
Brett
and
and
the
rest
of
211
does
on
the
diversion
side,
and
that
also
supports
in
some
mixtures
some
of
those
other
position
people
so.
B
B
So
the
you
know,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
a
little
bit
of
flexibility
with
the
funding
from
Tompkins
County
here,
so
we
didn't
get
the
full
amount.
We
could
use
some
of
that
to
kind
of
backfill
press
position,
but
that
that
would.
G
Mean
when
they're
unable
to
meet
those
other
important
areas
of
helping
people
navigate
through
this
system
on
homeless
and
being
able
to
swipe
them
in
the
transition?
As
far
as
we've
had
it
permanently,
yeah
we've
been
pretty
successful
with
the
COC
and
being
able
to
make
these
things
permanent,
but
then
the
transition
level
will
be.
A
D
B
Last
week,
Ira
heard
from
development.
B
Good
morning,
everyone
thank
you
again
for
your
support
in
past
years.
We're
preserve
job
Readiness
and
for
this
opportunity,
I'm
Susan,
Holland
I'm,
the
director
at
historic,
Ithaca
and
I'm,
joined
by
geometry,
will
give
you
specifics
in
a
moment.
Robert
Redford,
our
significant
elements
were
preserve
manager
or
also
here
I'm
in
the
group
today
for
Audi
RA
I
just
wanted
to
explain
that
our
delays
began
in
2020
with
using
when
we
started
using
our
PPP
instead
of
I
Ura.
B
So
we've
been
on
a
federal
double
dip,
so
the
FY
2021
will
finish
that
contract
in
April
of
2023,
then
we'll
start
on
the
2022
contract
and
we'll
skip
that
scheduled
to
end
in
larger
2024..
So
we
want
to
keep
the
continuity
of
our
program
going
and
we
want
to
keep
it
going
mostly
for
our
students
and
I
work,
preserved
participants
and
then
the
funding
that
we
are
as
important
now
is
in
early
2024..
So.
B
That's
only
1150
per
participant
and
a
slight
increase
of
15
over
the
last
year
or
the
years
that
we've
been
asking
for
it.
We
prepare
those
students
for
their
next
chapter
in
our
lives
at
a
low
cost
and
I'd
say
we're
a
good
investment
here
and
time
is
everything,
and
this
year,
I
can
truly
say
that
our
work
in
the
near
future.
That's
very
exciting
momentum,
our
Partnerships
with
career
pathways,
elected
by
Ithaca,
and
just
this
week
we
started
dialogue,
the
crowd
and
Empire
State
development
about
Workforce
Development.
This
momentum
takes
all
staff.
B
I
work,
a
lot
on
it,
I
sort
of
folks.
Like
me,
We
Vision,
to
lead
to
action,
steps
we
raise
money
and
then
our
significant
element
staff
does
the
specific
work,
intensive
training
and
runs
the
store
for
our
unrestricted
funds
for
the
program
so
tune
in
the
Geno
and
Jordan
are
going
to
give
you
a
glimpse
into
the
life
work
with
her
victim
yeah
good
evening
remind
me
that
you
know
why
I'm
the.
B
What
it
takes
an
opportunity
today
to
share
some
of
the
exciting
changes
that
we've
made
in
our
services
we've
been
able
to
revamp
our
workspace
and
completely
reimagine
our
classroom
space
as
well.
This
past
year,
we've
also
upgraded
and
revised
our
curriculum
to
include
a
lot
more
of
Building
Trades
and
practical
skills
into
our
program.
For
example,
Landscaping
we
did
a
huge
Landscaping
project
with
some
of
you,
the
kids
this
past
summer.
C
Opportunities
to
do
that,
we
did
a
huge
drywall,
a
training
where
they
had
opportunity
to
learn
how
to
hang
drywall
and
compared
to
their
team.
B
We
renovated
our
bathroom,
but
it
was
going-
and
this
is
often
materials
that
were
kind
of
Scavenging,
sometimes
I,
also
introducing
basic
Plumbing
skills,
a
lot
of
kind
of
real
Hands-On
Real
World
experience
with
anyone
we
needed
to
move
forward.
B
So
we
created
a
streamlined,
structured
and
systematic
approach
to
our
group
of
individualized
community
being
able
to
help
increase
our
participants
more
effectively
and
efficiently
and
really
trying
to
run
a
8
to
12
week
program.
Again,
we've
been
able
to
implement
a
curriculum
that
makes
it
and
make
significant
progress
from
almost
a
lot
of
our
big
projects
we
set
out
to
accomplish.
B
One
unforeseen
challenge
was
high
turnover
with
our
partner
agencies,
which
resulted
in
long-term
placement
in
our
programming.
We've
worked
with
multiple
participants
averaging
six
to
seven
months
up
to
20
hours
a
week.
Long-Term
engagement
means
for
us
higher
levels
of
planning
and
more
casework,
dramatic
implementation,
work
and
mentorship.
Our
participants
present
multiple
barriers,
Mental
Health
learning,
emotional,
cognitive
developmental
disabilities,
but
because
we're
a
small
and
Nimble
and
we're
creative
and
we
have
a
dedicated
skilled
staff.
We
met
these
challenges.
B
I
just
want
to
say:
I've
worked
with
youth
in
underprivileged
dose
for
25
years
for
the
most
of
my
career
as
a
high
school
teacher
and
I
saw
a
bronx
and
not
only
human
reservation,
also
running
the
C
web
and
standing
Plumbing
program
at
the
time
of
this
County
and
this
past
year,
and
some
of
the
most
challenging
and
rewarding
work
that
I've
done
so
far.
So
now,
I
want
to
pass
it.
F
Or
again,
everybody
I'm
Jordan
I'm,
the
traditional
skills
trainer
for
the
work
preserve
program.
I
just
want
to
focus
on
one
particular
participants
to
give
you
kind
of
an
example
of
the
type
of
work
that
we're
doing
with
each
of
our
participants.
Keep
in
mind
your
need
have
up
to
six
of
them
on
any
given
day.
Each
of
them
require
the
same
amount
of
attention
and
care
that
I'm
going
to
be
talking
about
this.
F
The
types
of
challenges
that
this
person
faces
are
pretty
typical
for
the
types
of
people
that
they're
serving
so
I'm,
going
to
talk
to
you
about
someone
I'm
going
to
refer
to
as
C
who
has
been
with
us
for
about
six
or
seven
months,
Seasons
release
the
20s.
He
struggles
with
anxiety
and
paranoia
ADHD.
He
had
a
traumatic
brain
injury
at
a
young
age.
He
has
been
through
programs
at
challenge,
bozies,
family
and
children's
William
George.
F
He
has
never
been
able
to
hold
a
job
for
more
than
six
months
prior
to
how
many
of
those
all
of
those
projects
Dino
mentioned
earlier,
the
Landscaping
the
drywall
see,
has
come
in
and
succeeded
and
helped
us
with
all
of
those
projects.
We've
talked
a
lot
of
skills.
He
is
a
really
bright
individual.
He
has
great
attention
to
detail,
but
getting
through
some
of
his
mental
health
challenges
that
he's
facing
has
required
a
lot
of
coaching
on
our
on
support.
F
On
our
part,
often,
we
have
to
stop
a
project
and
shift
in
kind
of
more
of
a
coaching
Plastering
mode.
A
couple
months
ago
he
was
very
worried
about
his
monetary
situation.
He
was
paranoid
that
his
family
was
stealing
money
from
him
and
after
a
couple
weeks
of
coaching,
we
were
able
to
go
to
open
his
own
bank
account,
which
he
had
never
done
before.
F
F
We've
been
able
to
get
him
to
go
to
therapy
sessions
which,
upon
his
arrival
to
us,
he
was
open
about
how
he
thought
he
needed
to
go
to
therapy,
but
was
facing
a
lot
of
paranoia
from
his
past
experiences
for
that
through
our
coaching
Gino
did
a
lot
of
work
with
that,
in
particular
that
particular
project
I
guess
Geno
gave
him
a
ride
to
a
certain
appointment,
he's
been
going
steadily
for
a
little
over
a
month.
Now
it's
improved
is
demeanor
drastically.
F
It
has
worked
drastically,
you've
been
able
to
show
up
on
time
the
whole
time.
So
it's
been
a
really
great
success
that
we've
had
with
this
individual
he's
still
with
us.
We're
still
working
with
him
on
finding
a
job
placement
now,
but
I.
Just
don't
think
that
that
type
of
the
type
of
work
that
we're
doing
with
this
person
can
be
overstated
and
the
type
of
the
impact
that
has
had
on
his
life,
whether
we
find
him
a
job
or
not.
D
F
B
C
This
this
this
program
is,
is
trying
to
get
participants
ready
for
for
work.
B
So
the
skills
that
we're
building
with
them
are
also
including
interviewing
and
building
a
resume
looking
for
getting
intermitting
them
to
kind
of
provide
different
experiences,
or
they
can
kind
of
get
an
idea
of
what
they
may
be
interested
in.
Working
on
we're
not
always
going
to
find
specific
skills
that
they're
going
to
transfer
to
a
specific
job.
But
a
lot
of
things
that
will
work
in
are
transferable
skills,
so
showing
up
on
time
being
able
to
work
in.
B
B
And
and
also
we
do
a
lot
of
mandatory
and
and
counseling
and
coaching
and
confidence.
B
Some
of
these
youth
to
to
really
think
that
they're
worthy
and
worth
the
type
of
work
that
they
can
do
and
and
get
him
to
really
think
outside
of
their
their
framework.
B
That
the
Readiness,
what
Gino's
describing,
is
sort
of
the
soft
skill
showing
up
her
work
on
time
and
having
the
proper
nutrition
having
the
proper
clothing
oftentimes
we're
providing
the
clothing
as
well
from
actually
from
both
grants
from
we
get
a
significant
amount
of
money
from
Park
as
well
our
foundation,
so
we're
able
to
supply
those
and
then,
as
soon
as
they've
mastered
some
of
the
skills
that
Gino's
talking
about.
B
We
move
them
into
placement,
so
we
know
that
they're
going
to
be
a
place
in
the
job,
we're
working
really
hard,
also
to
get
them
placed
on
the
career
side
of
it
and
also
the
the
more
training
so
they
go
through.
They
have
to
master
some
skills
and
Readiness
and
then
in
placement
we're
working
with
the
job
application.
The
interview,
skills
I've
done
a
lot
of
mock
interviews
lately,
so
it's
actually
a
lot
of
the
staff
participant.
B
We
have
also
a
retail
trainer
that
does
some
getting
ready
for
work
kind
of
skills
with
them
as
well.
She's
she's
obviously
has
management
skills
as
well,
so
I
guess
that
kind
of
big
welcome
I
mean
ideally
we're
trying
to
get
these
participants
through
our
program
quickly.
But,
as
we've
mentioned
today,
some
of
our
patients
have
severe
conditions
that
take
a
long
time
for
them
to
actually
become
ready
for
a
job
and.
C
Then
that
takes
a
lot
of
work
and
effort
to
get
them
there.
B
K
B
C
In
a
dynamic,
active
shot
and
retail
space,
so
we're.
B
Giving
them
a
lot
of
different
experiences
and
I
I
join
USD.
D
B
B
We
have
the
Catholic
Charities
immigrant
Services
Program
Team
available,
and
they
may
start
whenever
they
would
like
and
as
I
pulled
other
presenters
feel
free
to
do.
You
know
whoever
they're
presenting
during
that
12
minutes
is
fine.
N
Okay,
thank
you
Anisa.
My
name
is
Sue
Chaffey
I'm,
the
director
of
The
Immigrant,
Services
Program,
on
Catholic
Charities
and
today
I'm
here
with
my
colleague,
Paige
Rich,
who
is
also
our
program
coordinator.
So
first
I
wanted
to
acknowledge
and
thank
the
iora
for
your
ongoing
support
this
year,
we're
asking
for
an
increase
in
funding
in
order
to
maintain
the
level
of
Staffing
we
currently
have,
which
is
two
full-time
positions
and
two
part-time
positions.
Because
of
the
influx
of
new
immigrants
coming
into
our
community.
N
This
ranges
from
the
ukrainians
who
we
began,
providing
services
to
since
last
summer
to
migrants
coming
across
the
southern
border
and
more
recently
we
are
assisting
community
members
who
are
trying
to
sponsor
foreign
Nationals
to
come
to
the
U.S
through
various
programs
that
buy
an
Administration
has
put
into
place
in
our
grant
proposal.
I
included
data
from
an
article
article
that
appeared
in
syracuse.com
that
was
titled
Ithaca
metro
area
leads
U.S
migration.
According
to
this,
article,
Ithaca
leads
U.S
metros
when
ranking
by
the
percentage
of
each
area's
population
that
moved
from
abroad.
N
This
data
was
taken
from
2017
to
2021
and
showed
almost
1904
Nationals
moved
into
our
area.
These
aren't
huge
numbers
when
compared
to
bigger
cities,
but
it
was
1.8
percent
of
our
population,
which
is
quite
notable.
When
we
look
at
the
number
of
clients,
we
serve
it's
much
smaller
than
other
Catholic
Charities
of
state
New,
York
such
as
those
in
Rochester
and
Syracuse,
but
the
impact
of
1.8
percent
on
a
small
community
is
still
significant
in
a
smaller
program
such
as
ours
is
certainly
affected
and
sometimes
stretched
thin.
N
Looking
forward
to
the
services
we
will
be
providing
this
year,
and
next
we
anticipate
the
new
initiatives.
The
current
Administration
has
implemented
will
further
impact
our
service
delivery,
for
example,
if
they're
looking
to
bring
30
000
Nationals
from
Venezuela,
Haiti,
Cuba
and
Nicaragua
to
the
U.S
as
Parolees
every
month.
This
is
in
addition
to
the
United
for
Ukraine
program,
which
has
no
cap
on
the
numbers.
N
There
are
no
background
checks
on
the
sponsors
and
Norwalk
Law
requires
them
to
provide
any
support
for
them
once
they
move
here
already.
I've
been
Fielding
calls
from
previous
clients
who
are
who
are
completing
the
sponsor
work
paper
ship
and
are
asking
for
our
help
for
their
relatives
once
they
arrive.
For
example,
I
recently
met
with
one
of
my
former
citizenship
clients
who
wants
to
sponsor
a
family
of
six,
so
they
can
seek
Asylum.
N
Refugee
resettlement
is
also
being
changed
to
include
a
sponsor
model.
A
new
program
welcome
core
will
put
the
onus
down
a
group
of
five
individuals
or
groups
who
are
willing
to
go
through
some
online
training,
raise
some
funds
and
then
can
essentially
resettle
rest
refugees
into
the
United
States
I've
been
part
of
a
conversation.
I've
been
part
of
conversations
with
other
colleagues
who
provide
services
similar
to
what
we
provide,
and
we
are
worried
that
that
this
is
going
to
overburden
the
nonprofits,
and
it
also
may
increase
in
vulnerability
of
new
arrivals
coming
into
our
communities.
N
While
these
programs
show
initiative
on
how
to
manage
the
flow
of
Migrant
refugees,
it
also
is
Raising
red
flags
and
how
easily
these
programs
can
be
exploited
by
people
who
are
not
always
acting
in
good
faith.
It's
easy
to
say
we're
living
in
a
sanctuary,
City-
and
everyone
is
welcome
here
if
we
want
to
ensure
the
new
arrivals
coming
into
our
community,
don't
fall
victim
to
things
like
human
trafficking,
homelessness,
unfair
labor
practices,
or
even
things
like
being
proselytized
into
religions
different
than
their
own.
N
It's
important
that
programs
that
offer
Professional
Case,
Management
and
immigration
legal
services
such
as
ours
stays
intact.
As
always,
we
are
committed
to
do
our
part
in
assisting
new
Americans
who
arrive
in
our
community
with.
That
said,
though,
it
also
worries
them
to
know
that,
if,
if
whether
or
not
we
can
maintain
our
level
of
Staffing
to
meet
their
complex
needs
and
I'll
turn
over
to
Paige,.
O
Thank
you
Sue
good
morning
and,
as
you
said,
my
name
is
Paige,
rich
and
I'm.
The
program
coordinator,
so
I
provide
comprehensive,
Case,
Management
Services
to
our
new
arrivals
in
the
community
and,
as
Sue
mentioned,
Ithaca
has
seen
an
influx
of
these
new
arrivals
in
our
community,
and
that
trend
is
going
to
continue.
These
new
immigrants
arrive
with
diverse
backgrounds,
experiences
and
skill
sets,
and
they
contribute
immensely
to
our
economy
and
the
culture
and
diversity
of
Ithaca.
O
However,
they
also
face
unique
challenges
when
it
comes
to
accessing
essential
services
like
healthcare,
education,
housing
and
public
benefits.
So
it's
essential
to
have
programs
like
ours
in
place
to
help
immigrants
navigate
these
challenges
and
we're
unique
in
that.
We
have
knowledge,
not
just
in
case
management,
but
also
in
Immigration,
so
we're
able
to
help
immigrants,
understand
and
access
the
resources
and
services
they
need,
according
to
their
own
unique
circumstances.
O
Our
program
has
been
providing
these
services
for
many
years,
and
we've
seen
the
impact
that
this
has
on
the
lives
of
immigrants
in
our
community.
We
work
closely
with
immigrants
to
identify
their
needs
and
goals
and
develop
service
plans
and
connect
them
with
the
right
resources.
We
are
also
constantly
seeking
to
expand
our
knowledge
and
understanding
of
this
changing
and
complex
immigration
landscape,
where
people
are
coming
in
under
the
different
programs
that
Zoom
mentioned,
and
with
different
immigration,
statuses
or
even
without
status.
O
So
we
tailor
our
services
to
meet
the
needs
of
of
the
clients
and
not
just
use
a
cookie
cutter
approach
that
may
not
address
their
needs.
So,
for
example,
just
this
week
we
received
two
referrals
asking
us
to
help
clients
apply
for
public
benefits,
but
when
we
pre-screened
them,
we
found
their
status
did
not
make
them
eligible
for
benefits.
O
So
we
were
able
to
change
course
and
offer
different
different
alternatives
for
support,
and
importantly,
we're
also
there
to
advocate
for
the
clients
if
they
encounter
difficulties-
and
this
is
important,
because
immigrants
are
especially
vulnerable
and
they
may
lack
information
and
capacity
to
advocate
for
themselves.
So,
for
example,
I
work
with
my
colleagues
at
the
department
of
social
services
to
ensure
that
all
the
clients
who
are
eligible
for
benefits
do
receive
them
and
I'm
in
constant
contact
with
the
caseworkers
and
supervisors
and
sharing
information
about
processes
and
immigration
statuses.
O
So,
as
an
example,
I
helped
a
Ukrainian
arrival
who
has
a
disability
in
several
medical
conditions
and
is
particularly
vulnerable.
His
application
for
public
benefits
was
initially
denied,
but
then
I
was
able
to
help
him
reapply
and
receive
benefits.
Then
soon
after
his
arrival,
he
experienced
a
very
unfortunate
medical
episode
that
required
him
to
be
airlifted
to
a
regional
hospital,
and
then
he
had
to
stay
there,
and
so
his
relative
came
to
me
in
tears
with
a
ten
thousand
dollar
Bill.
O
Actually
several
bills
and
she
didn't
know
what
to
do
who
to
contact
or
even
where
to
start
and
obviously
they
couldn't
pay
it.
So
I
was
able
to
talk
with
a
patient
advocate
and
negotiate
a
100
charity
write-off
for
his
nine
thousand
dollar
airlift
bill.
O
So
I
continue
supporting
him
in
that
way
and
other
clients
as
well,
and
this
client
was
fortunate
because
he
has
family
support,
but
not
all
clients
have
that.
So.
For
example,
I've
worked
with
a
young
woman
from
Cuba
who
crossed
the
border.
She
was
traumatized
from
The
Crossing
and
was
overwhelmed
because
she
didn't
speak
any
English
or
know
anything
about
her
benefits.
O
Eligibility
I
provided
her
with
services
in
Spanish,
and
we
referred
her
to
the
Ithaca
Health
Alliance,
so
she
could
get
help
with
her
migraines
Journeys
end
for
legal
consultation,
Fidelis
for
health
care
and
for
English
classes
and
as
I
was
going
through
her
immigration
documents
to
help
her
apply
for
public
benefits.
O
I
noticed
that
she
was
supposed
to
report
to
the
nearest
ice
office
within
60
days,
and
she
had
not
done
that,
so
she
was
waiting
for
this
court
case
that
was
not
going
to
be
scheduled
without
that
and
I
helped
her
schedule
it
and
now
she's
able
to.
She
will
have
her
court
case.
So
without
our
support,
clients
like
her
would
fall
through
the
cracks
of
our
community
and
the
immigration
system.
O
D
B
N
So
in
the
past
we've
pretty
much
had
page
in
my
positions,
which
are
full
time
and
then
we
have
a
part-time
program
assistant,
but
this
year
we
were
able
to
get
another
part-time
position
that
does
our
job
development,
so
we're
looking
to
keep
these
four
positions
funded
and
all
of
our
staff
work
on
iora
clients.
N
So,
even
though
only
two
of
our
we
voucher
for
two
of
the
positions,
all
four
of
us,
you
know-
are
doing
these
services
for
our
clients,
so
the
extra
10
000
would
still
again
go
to
staff
or
Staffing.
A
They're
so.
D
A
Appears
to
be
a
small
amount
of
funds
that
were
granted
in
2021
plus
2022
spuns
are
available.
Could
you
address
the
that
and
when
you
anticipate
the
vouchering,
it
responds
to
be
submitted.
N
So
as
far
as
that,
we
just
got
our
contract
as
far
as
I
knew.
We
were
vouchered
I
think
we're
current
on
our
vouchering
right
now,
so
maybe
by
the
time
when
they
prepared
that
budget.
That
wasn't
the
case
but
I
think
we're
up
to
date.
As
of
this
time,.
A
D
B
Okay,
now
we're
going
back
to
Catholic
Charities
hello,
Courtright
will
presently
Catholic
Charities
application
for
acquaintances
of
study
within
transactional
housing,
they're
applying
for
a
follow-up
support
for
winning
women
gaining
stability.
B
So
Michaela
is
here
Michaela.
Are
you
able
to
hear
us?
M
You're
ready
all
right
so
hi,
again,
I'm
Michaela,
with
Catholic
Charities,
this
time,
I'm
representing
a
different
program
that
I
work
with,
which
is
a
place
to
stay,
and
what
I
want
to
emphasize
throughout
this
is
that
we've
added
sort
of
a
new
service,
it's
an
Aftercare
support
and
we're
still
sort
of
in
the
process
of
understanding
it
and
working
through
it.
M
M
M
M
Last
year
we
increased
Staffing
hours
for
both
residential
positions.
Both
are
full-time
in
this
program.
This
has
helped
with
relapse
prevention,
better
stability
and
building
a
better
sense
of
trust,
Mutual
trust
speaking
residents
and
staff.
M
This
has
led
to
Residents
feeling
more
empowered
and
proactively
seeking
services
on
their
own
to
get
the
help
that
they
want
or
need
this
past
fall.
We
also
welcome
Two
Social
Work
student
interns,
so
that
was
a
first
we've
never
done
that
before
and
we're
able
they
were
able
to
job
shadow
at
the
house.
Attend
house
meetings
participate
in
group
discussions
and
they
helped
us
research
special
projects.
M
Staff
have
been
learning
a
new
training,
it's
called
HCBS
services
for
the
residents.
This
stands
for
Home
and
community-based
Services,
which
is
a
program
available
to
qualified
Medicaid
recipients.
It
addresses
the
needs
of
people
who
may
be
in
need
of
assistance
with
daily
living
skills,
social
skills,
employment
and
education.
M
A
percentage
of
our
residents
struggle
with
a
combination
of
traumas,
mental
health
issues
and
substance
abuse
disorder.
The
demand
for
on-call
support
during
nights
and
weekends,
Still
Remains
a
high
need
the
staff
help
current
and
former
residents
with
support,
that's
lacking
during
critical
times
and
are
particularly
hard
for
those
dealing
with
addiction
issues.
M
Aftercare
support
looks
something
like
being
available
by
phone
coming
to
do
a
well-being
check
transporting
to
the
ER
transporting
to
inpatient
attending
meetings
with
doctors,
taking
notes
for
them
being
part
of
sort
of
a
care
coordination
team
despite
them
not
being
officially
in
our
program
and
as
I
mentioned,
there
have
been
a
few
that
have
come
back
to
stay
with
a
place
to
stay,
to
restart
and
get
ready
for
their
next
move
and
looking
forward
we're
looking
to
expand
our
services
into
an
ishi
permanent
Supportive
Housing
units
in
affordable
living
properties.
M
Hopefully
that
takes
place
in
the
next
two
years
or
so
really
depends
on
the
funding
for
the
Developers.
M
D
B
I
know
this
is
in
the
future,
but
can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
if
you're
looking
to
expand
into
Isha?
Would
that
be
is
what
you're
thinking
of
retaining
the
house
where
the
services
currently
exist
and
do
more
in
other
units
or
how
are
you
envisioning
that,
with
the
whole
thing
move.
M
We
planned
to
continue
doing
a
place
to
stay
transitional
housing
while
also
doing
similar
Supportive
Services
in
the
permanent
housing
units.
So
we
would
have
it
would
be
under
a
housing
program,
but
two
separate
programs,
I
guess,
services.
P
Navigating
an
exit
to
a
stable
housing
future
outside
of
the
program
and
I
think
there
was
a
lot
of
skepticism
by
sap
when.
B
Most
years
and
acceptably
moving
them
to
a
permanent.
M
Well,
so
we
get
referrals
from
a
lot
of
inpatient
Services
and
we
do
door-to-door
so
that
usually
we
haven't,
you
know,
lacked
in
the
referrals
to
you
know,
fill
the
house
I'm,
not
sure.
If
that's
what
you're
asking.
M
Well
part
of
it
is
that,
as
soon
as
they
come
as
part
of
the
intake,
they
start
to
do
the
paperwork
for
Section
8
vouchers
and
get
on
the
wait
list
for
some
of
the
new
housing
developments
and
low-income,
affordable
housing
programs
so
that
they
can
remain
in
our
house
until
their
you
know,
number
comes
up
to
get
moved
into
permanent
housing
other
than
that
we
don't
have
any
other.
A
M
Yep,
for
the
most
part
you
know,
sometimes
they
take
turns
on
who's
on
call,
but
a
lot
of
that
does
fall
to
the
residential
counselor
who
focuses
on
those
evening
weekends
time
frames,
but
they
are
both
on
site.
We
have
a
little
office
at
the
house.
B
M
Well,
what
we
are
trying
to
do,
what
we
would
hope
to
do
is
increase
our
donations
that
are
specific
to
a
place
to
stay
in
the
last
year
or
so
two
years,
we've
really
taken
a
focus
on
raising
restricted
donations,
that's
not
the
word,
but
specifically
for
that,
so
it's
guaranteed
every
year,
we're
really
trying
to
build
those
relationships
with
donors.
B
So
we
are
now
ready
to
move
to
our
final
presentation
of
the
day,
which
is
from
County
to
talk
about
women's
empowerment,
services
and
training.
Dave
Sanders
executive
director
is
with
us
Dave.
You
can
start
anytime
and
the
clock
we'll
start
with
you
and
there's
an
alarm
at
the
end
to
signal
after
that.
P
Very
good,
thank
you
very
much
good
morning.
Everyone
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
on
this
important
issue,
something
that's
in
plain
sight,
but
is
often
overlooked
and
sometimes
ignored.
My
name
is
Dave
Sanders
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
Oar
of
Tompkins
County.
P
As
we
just
said,
the
program's
called
West,
an
acronym
that
stands
for
women's
empowerment
and
services,
training.
This
program
started
or
the
idea
of
this
program
started
about
mid-october
of
last
year,
when
we
at
oer
were
starting
to
see
increased
sex
trafficking
cases,
not
only
at
oer,
not
only
in
our
own
Housing
Programs,
but
also
at
the
St
John's
shelter
and
the
target
for
this
particular.
The
victims
of
this
particular
crime
was
women
that
were
homeless
and
struggling
with
substance
use
disorders.
P
So
we
came
up
with
three
goals
and
the
first
was
to
increase
awareness
of
sex
trafficking
and
what
it
looks
like
in
Tompkins
County.
Many
people
might
have
an
idea,
they'll
think
about
a
third
world
nation
they'll
think
about
Baltimore
or
New
York
City.
But
what
does
it
look
like
in
Tompkins
County
and
we
want
to
educate
people
on
on
how
it
works
here?
How
people
are
manipulated
and
how
that
works?
P
The
second
one
was
to
decrease
the
number
of
women
at
risk
of
exploitation.
The
third
was
to
decrease
the
number
of
women
exploited
with
wraparound
services
and
Readiness
opportunities.
Now
I,
keep
saying
women
in
our
Target
population,
for
the
majority
will
be
women,
but
is
open
to
men
and
transgender
individuals,
ages,
25
to
55,
who
are
struggling
with
housing
and
security
and
substance
use
disorders.
P
So
what
sets
us
apart?
Why
would
Oar
want
to
do
this
and
what?
How
do
we
qualify
so
recently,
last
year
alone
we
had
867
unduplicated
clients
at
oer.
That's
5515
visits
over
the
course
of
last
year.
Compare
that
to
the
summer
of
2020.
Our
numbers
have
increased
210
so
from
around
190
to
600
visits
per
month.
P
So
we
are
a
place
where
vulnerable
folks
come
to
find
services
to
find
support
to
find
help.
We
conducted
a
client
survey
in
2022.
That
survey
had
nine
questions
and
we
actually
had
about
90
people
fill
it
out
so
about
a
little
more
than
10
percent
of
our
clientele
and
what
we
discovered
was
53
percent
of
our
clients
are
homeless.
P
P
The
average
number
of
arrests
was
9.2
in
a
lifetime,
and
27
percent
have
not
been
arrested
in
eight
years
or
longer,
which
illustrates
the
ripple
effect
of
incarceration
and
how
it
might
affect
someone
much
longer
than
their
debts
in
society
and
the
fact
that
they
have
gaps
in
employment
and
major
barriers
to
getting
their
life
back
on
track.
I
think
that's
a
significant
statistic
to
share
so
our
goal
for
ending
and
preventing
homelessness.
We
do
have
two
Housing
Programs.
P
The
average
length
of
stay
was
126
days
our
before
and
after
outcomes.
48
of
the
people
came
into
the
program
homeless.
Only
seven
percent
left
homeless,
permanent
housing
came
in
zero.
We
helped
17
percent,
find
permanent
housing.
Temporary
housing
was
14.
We
went
to
31
percent
and
institutionalized
individuals,
so
prison
jail
or
inpatient
substance
use
disorders
was
38
and
that
then
went
down
to
10
percent.
We
have
a
housing
coordinator
that
helped
over
140
people
last
year.
P
For
those
who
don't
know
I'm
big
into
metrics
and
data
I'm,
an
expert
in
what's
called
results-based
accountability,
I
helped
Tompkins
County,
all
30
departments
develop
high-end
performance
measures.
Each
one
of
our
program
is
designing
higher
performance
measures.
I
haven't
finished
with
the
housing
coordination.
I've
only
been
the
director
for
one
year,
but
most
of
our
programs
are
aligning
to
the
RBA
method.
I
haven't
finished
with
the
coordination.
P
Yet,
obviously,
if
we
have
housing,
coordination,
I
want
to
know
the
people
that
are
coming
in
and
then
the
data
on
when
they
they
get
out.
I
haven't
gotten
there
yet
so
I
apologize
for
that.
So
what's
the
evidence
that
sex
trafficking
is
going
on,
certainly
I
can
speak
to
clients.
I
can
speak
to
outreach
workers,
I
can
speak
with
ipd.
I
can
speak
with
other
people
involved
in
the
community,
but
I
actually
was
trained
in
2015
by
the
Advocacy
Center.
P
That
did
a
c-sec
program
and
Christine
Barksdale
was
one
of
the
participants
of
that
group.
I
was
very
proud
to
be
a
part
of
it
and
when
Christine
met
with
G
act
to
talk
with
local
folks
on
what
it
looks
like
in
Tompkins
County.
One
of
the
things
that
she
shared
was
a
website
on
escort
services
and
Ithaca
alone.
P
So
actually
I
went
on
this
morning
and
it
was
eight
o'clock
in
the
morning
there
was
64
solicitations
just
at
eight
o'clock
in
the
morning,
so
then
I
went
to
yesterday
and
there
were
184.,
so
there's
184
phone
numbers
to
contact
for
escort
services
in
and
around
Ithaca,
Tompkins,
County,
so
I
think
that's
significant
in
an
eye-opening
stat.
That
illustrates
that.
Yes,
I
do
not
know,
statistically
how
many
people
on
there
are
being
forced,
coerced
or
pressured,
and
how
many
have
chosen
this
particular
line
of
work.
P
The
issue
is
it's
rapid
and
statistically,
we
would
know,
especially
as
it
pertains
to
substance
use
disorders
and
homelessness.
I
read
something
on
a
California
study
that
92
percent
of
homeless
women
have
experienced
severe
violent
trauma.
So
these
are
the
reasons
what
we're
doing
this.
So
what
are
we
going
to
do
about
it?
There
are
two
phases
we
want
to
do.
Training
I,
contacted
Rachel,
Lloyd,
Rachel
Lloyd
is
lack
of
a
better
word:
the
Oprah
Winfrey
sex
trafficking
she's
one
of
the
top
100
most
influential
women
of
New
York
City
she's.
P
She
has
actually
volunteered
to
run
the
program
that
we
want
to
run
at
Tompkins.
County
I
have
dates,
we're
going
to
do
this
either
April
or
May.
We
have
45
slots,
I've
contacted
easily
a
dozen
individuals
and
I've
partnered
with
the
Advocacy
Center
in
order
to
make
sure
that
this
happens.
P
I
think
this
is
key
number
one,
because
without
the
training
we're
not
going
to
know
a
what's
going
on,
how
does
it
work
how
to
work
with
folks
that
are
involved
in
this
particular
life
and
how
we
can
work
better
as
a
team
and
with
Partners
in
order
to
help
them
improve
their
lives
and
start
a
different
course?
P
So
what
do
I
want
to
do
with
the
funding
resources
that
were
involved,
where
we
learned
a
lot
from
running
the
sunflower
House
program
and
for
the
last
year,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
learned
about
is
substance.
Use
disorders
is
extremely
difficult.
I
heard
I've
been
on
since
eight
o'clock
this
morning
and
I
know.
A
lot
of
people
are
going
into
this
line
of
work.
I
have
a
work
history
of
over
35
years
and
there
has
been
nothing
more
difficult
than
supporting
people
that
are
struggling
with
substance
use
disorders.
P
I
give
the
utmost
respect
to
everyone
in
this
line
of
work.
There
are
many
ups
and
downs,
we're
trying
and
doing
everything
that
we
possibly
can
to
support
people
and
maintaining
and
keeping
the
sobriety.
But
there
are
many
ups
and
downs
and
it
is
disheartening
at
times,
but
for
those
that
are
successful,
it
keeps
the
drive
and
helps
us
keep
going
so
we've
partnered
with
acbc,
which
is
the
Addiction
Center
of
Broome
County.
P
They
have
Cody
Piers,
which
are
KSAT
workers
with
lived
experiences.
One
of
their
peers
actually
lived
in
the
jungle.
Who
now
is
certified
and
maintaining
sobriety?
They
come
to
the
sunflower
house
twice
a
week
to
help
people
maintain
their
sobriety
and
ensure
that
they're
actively
engaged.
That's
the
key
criteria
for
maintaining
sobriety
is
what's
the
engagement
on
a
week-to-week
basis
for
you
to
maintain
where
you're
at
today.
Obviously
there
are
triggers
and,
and
we
balancing
those
two
become
extremely
difficult,
and
that's
where
we're
having
our
difficulties.
P
P
I
think
it
was
about
three
weeks
ago
on
substance
use
in
housing
and
I
told
him
the
difficulties
that
we
were
having
and
the
need
for
Partnerships
I
spoke
with
the
ACT
team
recently
and
I'm,
hoping
that
perhaps
they
will
partner
with
us
to
become
a
member
of
the
team
to
help
our
folks
with
some
of
the
trauma
as
they
move
forward.
So
we
have
three
tiers
in
our
housing
program.
Tier
one
is
mental
health
and
substance
use.
We
don't
address
trauma
mental
health
and
substance
use.
Nothing
else
is
going
to
happen.
P
Tier
two
is
DSS
benefits.
Many
of
our
folks
are
homeless.
Many
of
them
are
on
some
type
of
sanction,
but
when
they're
eligible
we
want
to
apply
for
DSS,
we
were
fortunate
to
have
a
meeting
with
wonderful
people
at
DSS
on
Tuesday,
to
talk
about
some
of
the
issues
that
we're
having
and
how
we
can
better
work
with
them
to
ensure
that
our
clients
are
receiving
the
maximum
benefits
possible
so
that
they
can
get
back
on
their
feet
and
and
move
to
tier.
Three
and
tier
three
is
improving
education
and
employment.
P
I'm
gonna
be
honest
with
you.
We
are
really
good
at
tier
three.
We
are.
We
find
jobs
for
folks.
We've
got
some
really
great
stories
that
I
would
love
to
share
with
you
at
some
point
on
the
different
programs
that
are
willing
to
hire
commonly
incarcerated
individuals,
give
them
opportunities,
and
when
you
see
someone
who
is
living
in
a
car
or
are
living
in
a
jungle
who
now
has
a
45
or
60
000
job
with
benefits.
It's
an
amazing
achievement
and
I,
and
we
love
seeing
that
and
that
keeps
us
going.
P
Dss
benefits
we're
getting
better
at.
We
didn't
really
do
very
good
year.
One
I
think
we
collected
about
25
of
the
rent
from
DSS
and
I
assure
you.
Everybody
was
eligible,
it's
just
a
matter
of
were
they
following
through
with
some
of
the
substance
use
treatments
or
were
they
filling
out
the
paperwork
correctly
or
so
on
and
so
forth.
P
We
have
a
wonderful
partnership,
as
I
said,
with
substance,
use
disorders
and
we're
looking
for
partners
with
the
mental
health
particular
group.
So
what
do
we
want
to
do
with
the
funding
with
the
people
that
we've
involved
and
what
we
have
seen?
We
actually
close
one
of
our
houses.
As
I
said,
we
have
12
units
in
the
sunflower
house.
We
closed
one
and
reopened
it
from
a
men's
unit
to
a
women's
unit
just
to
address
this
particular
issue.
P
So
now
we
have
six
men
and
Six
Women,
most
of
the
folks
that
we
solicited
came
from
the
shelter
and
it
was
folks
that
we
felt
were
highly
vulnerable
to
the
situations
that
we
had
seen
recently.
P
We
have
wraparound
Services
things
that
we
know
that
are
extremely
important.
Like
transportation,
we
have
emergency
Hotel,
which
becomes
really
really
problematic.
If
I
have
all
six
units
taken
and-
and
someone
has
an
emergency
situation,
we
really
don't
have
resources.
Short-Term
resources
where
someone
might
be
able
to
stay
storage
is
key.
Go
ahead,
did
I
go
over
I
didn't
see
the
time
oh
I
did
I
apologize
and
I
should
have
left
for
questions.
I'm.
Sorry.
B
For
fun,
we
will
be
reaching
out
to
all
the
applicants
at
the
appropriate
times.
Our
schedule
is
on
the
IRA
website.
B
People
either
inquiries
after
these
meetings,
but
otherwise
applicants
can
find
out
what
the
next
steps
are
in
our
planning
process
