Description
Minneapolis Housing Policy & Development Committee Meeting
A
B
A
A
quorum
of
the
committee
and
we
can
conduct
the
committee's
business
before
us
today.
We
have
three
public
hearings
and
three
discussion
items.
So
no
consent
agenda
to
pass
so
I
think
we'll
go
right
ahead
and
take
up
our
public
hearings.
First,
we
have
to
land
sales
and
then
we
have
a
supplemental
award.
Yes,
mr.
A
That's
fine
I
think
we
could
do
that.
I!
Think!
That's!
That's!
Alright!
It
does
look
like
the
people
who
come
for
item
five
outnumber
the
people
who
came
for
item
four,
so
sorry
to
inconvenience
you
thank
you
yep
all
right.
So
with
that
I
changed
to
the
amendment.
Why
don't
we
start
with
our
first
one,
which
is
a
land
sale
at
2800,
18th,
Avenue
and.
D
My
name
is
off
record
I'm,
the
manager
for
residential
real
estate
development
at
sea
bed
I'm
here
to
recommend
the
sale
of
2800
18th
Avenue
North,
the
Northgate
Development
LLC
for
its
appraised
value
of
$30,000
and
if
North
Cape
north
gate
fails,
the
clothes
staff
proposes
to
any
investment
and
LLC
as
an
alternate
purchaser
season.
The
property
was
built
in
1926
as
it's
at
1664
square
foot,
2-bedroom,
1-bath,
single-family,
home
city
acquired
this
property
on
November,
13th,
2015
and
cpad,
acquired
it
from
Hennepin
County
as
tax
forfeited
land
staff
marketed.
D
This
property
sees
me
through
the
normal
open
house
process,
which
includes
the
notification
of
2300
participants
on
our
listserv.
There
were
seven
applications
received
two
proposals
where
the
two
highest
ranked
proposals
and
those
of
the
two
that
were
recommending
today.
The
purchaser
intends
to
invest
a
hundred
and
one
thousand
nine
hundred
and
eighty
dollars
to
rehabilitate
as
a
three-bedroom
three-bath
home
for
Jeffrey
Lowe
who's,
a
pre-approved
purchaser
to
occupy
as
his
primary
residence.
The
alternate
purchaser
proposes
to
invest.
D
One
hundred
and
twenty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
to
rehabilitate
this
structure
into
a
three-bedroom
two-bath
home
and
she
plans
on
selling
it
for
owner
occupancy,
so
marketing
it
for
an
owner
occupancy
staff,
review
the
proposals
and
confirm
that
the
proposals
both
proposals
meet
the
minimum
standards
of
the
program
and
the
neighborhood
was
notified.
The
neighborhood
organization
recommended
three
three
of
the
seven
proposers.
After
our
evaluation,
none
of
the
three
proposers
met
on
the
minimum
requirements
or
was
competitive
in
the
scoring
process.
A
E
A
D
Yes,
this
is
a
property
where
staff
recommends
the
sale
of
the
vacant
lot
at
1405,
16th
Avenue
north
to
a
vision
LLC
for
its
appraised
value
of
ten
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
subjective
conditions.
Staff
further
recommends
an
approval
of
up
to
$20,000
of
homebuyer
center
funds
to
Michael
and
Carm
Ian
Foster,
who
plans
to
who
plans
with
wanna
occupy
the
home
upon
completion.
D
D
The
subject
property
was
acquired
on
March,
1st
2013
from
Hennepin
County
and
Stax
forfeited
land
staff
has
continuously
marketed
a
property
on
the
program's
website
and
through
a
listserv
of
now
over
2,300
participants.
This
is
the
only
application
that
was
received
and
the
purchase
of
intends
to
invest
two
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
to
build
a
5-bedroom,
3-bath
single-family
home
staff,
review
the
proposal
and
confirm
it
meets
the
minimum
requirements.
D
We
were
the
neighborhood
was
notified
and
they
made
a
recommendation
to
the
developer
that
they
add
some
additional
windows
on
the
on
the
west
end
of
the
property.
Both
the
developer
and
homeowner
are
supportive
of
their
neighborhoods
recommendations
and
will
incorporate
their
changes.
Are
they
any
questions?
I.
D
F
As
was
described,
finished
basement.
There
are
seven
kids
in
the
family
and
we've
talked
about
such
little
aspects
as
how
to
turn
the
garage
so
that
you
can
put
a
basketball
hoop
up
and
do
those
kinds
of
things.
Kommune
and
michael
have
been
fantastic
and
working
together
really
for
nearly
a
year
in
the
planning
and
development
process.
So
this
isn't
going
to
be
a
bare-bones
vinyl
sided
15-year
tabbed
roof
we're
looking
at
a
very
high
quality
building
that
is
deserving
not
only
at
the
north
side,
but
of
crimean
michael
and
the
family.
F
G
In
foster,
my
husband,
Michael
and
I
are
long-term
northsiders.
We
own
a
property
at
34th
and
Fremont's,
which
we
have
reinvested
in
the
community
to
start
a
non-profit
serving
the
youth
of
the
neighborhood,
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
our
ties
and
connections
to
North
Minneapolis
by
re-establishing
our
primary
residence
there
as
well.
A
A
Question
I,
don't
see
any
questions.
Thank
you
very
much.
So
I
guess
I'll
move
approval
of
the
land
sale
at
1405,
16th,
Avenue
North,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed.
You
know
that
motion
carries
then
we
have
a
third
public
hearing
and
this
is
it
has
to
do
with
a
supplemental
award
in
bond
issuance
for
the
hook-and-ladder
apartments
project
and
we'll
have
a
presentation
from
mrs.
Gillum
welcome.
Thank.
H
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
Arlene
Robinson,
is
also
out
of
training
today,
so
I'm
standing
in
for
her
to
do
this
presentation.
My
name
is
Angie
skilled
I
am
residential
finance
that
seedbed.
This
agenda
item
is
in
the
public
hearing
portion
of
the
agenda
today
because
of
the
request
for
fifteen
point:
nine
million
dollars
in
housing,
revenue
bonds
for
hook-and-ladder
Apartments
located
in
Ward,
one
at
23:18,
Jefferson
Street,
northeast
pokken
ladder
will
be
the
new
construction
of
118
units
of
affordable
housing,
108
of
which
will
be
workforce.
H
Housing
units
at
60%
of
the
area,
median
income
and
ten
units
will
be
for
large
families
at
30%
of
the
area,
median
income,
which
is
a
new
addition
to
the
project.
Since
its
original
trust
fund
was
awarded
last
year
via
the
inclusion
of
ten
project-based
assistance
units
from
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
H
The
project
is
comprised
of
two
five-story
buildings
that
will
have
a
series
of
special
sustainability
and
energy
efficiency
features
actually
person
a
unique
opportunity
to
sort
of
compare
our
Minnesota
Green
Communities
normal
energy
efficiency
standards
to
another
building
standard,
which
was
known
as
passive
house.
The
total
development
cost
of
this
project
is
just
over
30
million
dollars
and,
in
addition
to
the
city,
affordable,
housing,
trust
funds
already
approved.
H
The
project
contains
funding
from
the
Metropolitan
Council
Hennepin
County,
and
also
a
significant
capital
contribution
from
the
neighborhood
group,
which
is
the
Holland
neighborhood
with
final
approval
of
bonds.
Today
and
with
the
contingency
award
that
I'll
discuss
briefly
shortly,
this
project
will
be
positioned
to
close
in
June
and
start
construction,
so
speaking
of
that
contingency
pool
award.
H
The
second
part
of
the
request
today
to
the
council
is
committees
for
a
675
thousand
dollar
final
award
to
the
project
that
comes
in
combination
through
the
family,
housing
initiative
and
the
city
approved
council
approved
contingency
pool
check
owner.
Would
you
like
me
to
describe
that
portion
of
the
requests
now
as
well
and
then
open
the
public
hearing
afterwards?
H
So
I
briefly
mentioned
that
new
to
the
project,
since
its
original
Trust
Fund
of
approval
is
the
inclusion
of
10
project-based
vouchers
in
a
large
bedroom.
Three
bedroom
units
in
this
property
to
serve
families
coming
out
of
homelessness
at
30%
of
ami.
Those
units
make
this
project
eligible
for
the
family
housing
initiative,
which
is
a
special
set-aside
of
funding
within
the
trust
fund
that
allows
a
$50,000
a
unit
contribution
for
families
that
are
coming
out
of
homelessness
at
30%
of
ami
and
three-bedroom
units.
H
So
that
is
$500,000
the
quest
for
those
ten
units
and
then
the
final
175
thousand
dollar
award
is
being
proposed
out
of
the
council,
approved
contingency
pool,
which
you've
seen
a
couple
of
requests
for
recently.
But,
as
a
reminder,
is
a
special
set
aside
that
the
council
approved
that
allows
final
awards
to
close
final
gaps
and
projects
in
the
range
of
five
to
ten
thousand
dollars
a
unit
on
average.
In
this
case,
it's
$1600
a
unit
and
additional
funding
through
the
contingency
pool.
H
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
seeing
no
questions
and
I'll
open
the
public
hearing
and
see
if
anybody
is
here
today
to
speak
on
this
matter,
seeing
no
one
coming
forward,
then
nope
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
them
and
I
will
move
approval
of
the
site
on
these
two
action
items
approving
the
additional
funding
from
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
as
well
as
the
final
resolution
authorizing
approval
of
the
issuance
of
the
tax
exempt
multi-family
housing
entitlement
bonds,
any
questions
seeing
them
and
all
those
in
favor.
Please
any
opposed,
say
no.
A
B
Thank
you
good
afternoon,
mr.
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Shalon
de
Holmes
and
I'm
a
senior
project
coordinator
in
multifamily
housing
policy
and
development
I'm
before
you
today
to
request
the
committee
to
authorize
submission
of
priority
rank,
grant
applications
to
the
Metropolitan
Council.
Livable
communities
account
for
LCD
a
in
LCD
a
Tod
grant
programs.
Every
year.
The
City
Council
considers
the
submission
of
LCD
a
in
LCD
a
Tod
pre
applications
to
the
metropolitan
Regional
Council.
B
This
year
we
received
a
total
of
11
applications
and
the
Metropolitan
Council
only
accepts
six
applications
per
city
and
that's
three
applications
per
program.
The
review
for
this
program
is
made
up
of
a
team
of
city
staff
members
from
sheephead
divisions
as
well
as
Public,
Works
and
Finance
this
year,
based
on
the
Metropolitan
Council
evaluation
criteria,
the
six
projects
listed
in
the
report
are
being
recommended
for
submission.
The
full
application
process
for
the
LCD,
a
and
LCA
Tod
program
is
very
competitive
and
projects
have
to
compete
with
other
projects
within
the
region.
B
G
A
Will
move
approval
then
of
the
applications
going
forward
to
the
Metropolitan
Council?
Any
questions
on
the
motion,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
say.
No.
That
motion
carries
then
and
now
we'll
move
on
going
back
to
our
fourth
item,
which
is
our
report
on
heading
home
together
and
so
does
2018
to
2020
I
think
the
agenda
I
have
left
Appa,
MIMO,
I'm
action
plan
to
prevent
and
end
homelessness
and
we're
fortunate
to
have
Kathy
Tim
Burke
here
with
us
to
make
a
presentation.
G
H
A
I
A
I
Have
you
here,
thank
you
very
much
for
inviting
me
and
I
was
just
thinking.
I
haven't
stood
at
this
podium
in
many
many
years,
so
it's
nice
to
be
back
I'm,
I'm
delighted
to
be
here
and
I
also
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
your
personal
and
collective
leadership
on
housing.
Stability
I
was
just
at
an
event
last
night
at
Youthlink
for
the
launching
of
their
downtown
view,
with
councilmember,
bender
and
Goodman,
and
the
mayor
and
others,
and
that's
a
tremendous
example
of
that
kind
of
leadership.
So
just
very
delighted.
I
You
also
have
an
amazing
housing
staff
which
I
think
you
know,
but
it's.
The
envy
of
many
many
cities
in
the
in
the
state
I
have
been
asked.
Councilmember
Gordon
asked
me
to
just
give
a
very
quick
update
on
the
statewide
plan
to
prevent
and
end
homelessness
heading
home
together
and
then
Mikkel
Beckman
who's.
The
housing
coordinator
at
Hennepin
County
is
here
to
help
answer
questions
about
local
efforts
that
are
aligning
with
the
headings
together
plan
so
very
quickly.
I
Just
by
way
of
background
for
those
of
you
who
are
less
familiar
with
the
work
at
the
state,
I
direct,
the
Minnesota
interagency
Council
on
homelessness,
which
is
made
up
of
commissioners
of
these
11
state
agencies,
the
governor's
office
and
the
chair
of
the
Met
Council,
and
they
are
really
the
drivers
of
the
policy
and
programs
related
to
preventing
and
ending
homelessness.
At
the
state
level.
We
over
the
course
of
these
years
since
I've
been
there
have
launched
three
iterations
of
a
heading
home
plan.
I
The
first
one
was
launched
in
January
of
2014
to
help
guide
the
state's
work
for
a
couple
of
years.
It
was
updated
for
16
and
17,
but
what
we
are
doing
now
is
something
a
little
bit
different,
where
the
state
has
really
reached
out
to
partners
literally
thousands
of
partners
across
the
state
of
Minnesota
to
collectively
write
and
establish
goals
and
strategies
and
actions
related
to
implementing
a
statewide,
multi-sector
effort
to
prevent
and
end
homelessness.
And
that's
what
you
have
in
front
of
you
called
heading
home
together.
I
I,
don't
have
to
tell
you,
of
course,
about
the
challenges
in
our
housing
market
for
for
people.
In
order
for
them
to
afford
housing,
but
I
can
tell
you
that,
despite
some
of
those
very
significant
challenges,
we
have
seen
some
progress
on
preventing
and
ending
homelessness
in
Minnesota.
It
is
by
it's
not
by
accident.
These
are
because
of
the
very
strategic,
very
targeted
efforts
by
a
lot
of
talented
people
all
across
the
state,
including
folks
here
in
Minneapolis
and
Hennepin,
who
have
really
been
driving
down
the
numbers
of
families
experiencing
homelessness
significantly.
I
So
you
see
on
this
graph
since
we
launched
the
plan
heading
home
plan
in
2014,
there's
been
an
8%
overall
decrease
in
homelessness
in
the
state
and
a
20%
decrease
in
family
homelessness,
which
I
believe
and
Mikkel
can
help
with.
This
is
about
the
fifth
largest
decrease
in
the
country
on
family
homelessness.
So
some
very
good
news
there.
We
also
you're,
probably
more
familiar
with
this
good
news.
We
have
seen
some
significant
progress
on
ending
veteran
homelessness
for
regions
of
our
state.
I
The
areas
you
see
in
green
have
actually
been
confirmed
by
federal
government
as
having
met
all
the
criteria
to
prevention
and
homelessness
in
their
communities,
which
is
not
an
easy
task.
Submitting
lots
of
data
to
show
that
they
can
prevent
veterans
from
becoming
homeless
and
if
a
veteran
does
become
homeless,
they
have
a
system
in
place
to
rapidly
assess
their
needs,
get
them
connected
to
housing
and
help
keep
them
there.
I
So
this
is
great:
it's
46
over
87
counties
and
we
have
a
veteran
registry
that
we
use
to
identify
veterans
and
quickly
try
to
connect
them
to
housing
and
at
this
point
at
latest
count
about
one
hundred
and
ninety.
One
veterans
remain
on
that
registry.
I
will
say
that
many
of
those
are
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
so
there's
significant
work
going
on
with
folks
in
Hennepin
County,
the
Minneapolis
Hennepin
County
Office,
to
prevent
an
end
homelessness
to
really
target
those
veterans
as
well.
Can.
A
I
It's
a
voluntary
good
question:
it's
a
voluntary
registry,
so
any
veteran
we
work
very
hard
to
identify
them
in
every
region
of
the
state
lots
of
opportunities
to
ask
questions
of
people
to
see
if
they've
ever
served
in
the
u.s.
service
and
if
they
have
they're
asked.
If
they'd
like
to
be
a
part
of
the
registry
which
essentially
just
means
they
give
permission
for
community
partners
to
talk
to
each
other
and
figure
out
what
they're
eligible
for
what
resources
are
available
and
if
they're
not
eligible
for
those
resources.
I
A
I
Yeah,
so
ninety-seven
veterans
identified
in
Hennepin
forty
four
without
a
housing
plan,
which
means
that
many
of
them
have
a
housing
plan,
but
one
of
the
challenges
is
the
connection
to
landlords
and
making
sure
that
we
can,
you
know,
provide
the
opportunity
for
them
to
get
into
the
unit
which
incentives
are
in
place
to
help
with
that
as
well.
Thank
you.
There
are
a
couple
of
big
areas
of
challenge,
however,
so
there
is
some
good
news:
there's
lots
of
challenging
news
as
well.
I
This
is
also
not
unfamiliar
to
you,
but
we
have
seen
a
pretty
alarming
ink
in
unsheltered
homelessness
throughout
the
state
of
Minnesota,
certainly
in
in
Hennepin
County
in
Ramsey
County.
This
is
also
a
trend
nationally.
So
this
is
not
just
us,
but
is
something
that
we're
really
concerned
about,
and
so
you
know
this
is
something
that
we're
thinking.
In
addition
to,
obviously
we
need
to
have
an
appropriate
crisis
response
for
anybody
who's
in
an
unsafe
situation.
I
A
I
These
are
statewide
numbers.
What
you
see
up
here
so
I
can
guarantee
you
that,
throughout
the
state
of
Minnesota,
there
is
certainly
a
lack
of
shelter
opportunities
for
people
and,
while
that
one
of
our
principles
of
our
heading
home
together
plan
is
that
we
want
to
ensure
there's
appropriate
crisis
response.
We
also
very
much
know
we
could
not
build
enough
shelter
to
address
our
housing
situation.
We
need
to
make
sure
we're
developing
housing,
that's
truly
appropriate
and
affordable
for
people
with
an
appropriate
crisis
response
which
may
sometimes
be
sheltered
in
other
instances.
I
It
may
be
another
kind
of
crisis
response
for
young
people
that
might
be
hosts
homes
or
other
opportunities
to
connect
people
to
safety
and
another
trend
we're
seeing
18
to
24
year
olds
are
one
of
the
fastest
growing
populations
of
people
experiencing
homelessness
in
the
state.
This
is
also
true
we're
seeing
this
rise
nationally.
It
is
also
true,
were
doing
a
much
better
job
of
identifying
young
people.
I
It's
become
a
priority
nationally
to
do
that
and
to
make
sure
we're
connecting
those
young
people
to
resources,
so
they
may
be
better
numbers,
but
they're
certainly
had
more
accurate
numbers
and
also
an
area
for
us
to
keep
our
eyes
on
I'm
going
through
all
of
this
quickly,
because
I
want
to
get
to
the
solutions
and
the
plan
in
place.
But
I
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background.
This
document
is
a
lot
of
numbers,
so
I
apologize
and
something
you
can
really
look
at
later.
I
But
the
reason
I
put
it
up
is
that
the
governor
has
a
taskforce
on
housing.
That's
looking
at
the
gaps
in
affordability
and
housing
that
we
have-
and
this
was
an
analysis
done
by
Minnesota
Housing,
the
housing
department
at
the
state
to
look
at
where
our
housing
opportunities
are
versus
the
housing,
the
incomes
of
the
housing
incomes
of
the
households
in
Minnesota-
and
you
can
see
from
this
that
you
know.
While
we
have
maybe
over
seventy
four
hundred
people
at
night
who
are
literally
experiencing
homelessness.
I
If
you
go
down
to
the
far
right
corner,
you
can
see
that
over
two
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
Minnesotans
are
housing,
cost
burdened,
meaning
they're
spending
more
than
they
can
afford
on
their
housing.
And
if
you
go
up
to
the
top
right
corner,
you
can
see
that
the
largest
percent
of
those
is
in
the
very
lowest
income
households.
I
Many
partnerships
have
been
built,
certainly
in
Minneapolis,
certainly
in
Hennepin,
County
and
all
across
the
state
to
help
us
do
this
work.
I
think
one
of
the
most
significant
ones
has
been
with
our
philanthropic
community.
We've
had
philanthropic
partners
for
many
years
who
have
been
dedicated
to
this
work
of
housing,
stability
and
preventing
and
ending
homelessness.
But
we
have
about
a
dozen
now
that
are
deeply
engaged
in
this
heading
home
together
plan.
I
So
in
order
to
build
this
multi
sector
effort
working
with
local
communities
in
every
region
of
the
state,
we
worked
with
tribal
partners,
philanthropic
partners,
Continuum's
of
care,
faith
communities,
people
with
lived
experiences
of
homelessness
providers
themselves.
We
wanted
to
come
up
with
a
plan
that
was
no
longer
a
state
government
plan
that
state
agencies
would
alone
try
to
implement,
but
rather
something
that
everyone
could
see
themselves
in
and
find
their
role
and
help
in
accelerating
our
progress
on
homelessness.
So
the
vision
of
the
plan
in
front
of
you
is
housing
stability
for
all
Minnesotans.
I
That
has
not
changed
over
the
years.
The
four
main
goals
are
to
finish.
The
of
ending
veteran
homelessness
finished
the
job
of
ending
chronic
homelessness.
That's
people
who've
been
homeless
a
long
time
and
also
have
a
disability,
prevent
and
end
homelessness
for
youth
and
young
adults,
and
prevention
and
homelessness
among
families
with
children.
I
When
we
talk
about
ending
homelessness,
I
always
think
it's
really
important
to
talk
about
what
we
mean.
So,
for
example,
when
we
say
we've
ended
veteran
homelessness
in
four
regions
of
the
state.
What
does
that
really
mean?
Does
it
mean
that
no
veteran
will
ever
again
be
seen
in
those
communities
as
experiencing
homelessness?
I
There
is
a
system
in
place
that
can
quickly
assess
their
needs,
get
them
connected
to
housing,
stability
and,
if
needed,
provide
the
kinds
of
supports
people
need
to
remain
in
that
housing
and
if
we
do
that
as
a
system
and
as
a
community-
and
we
can
prove
that
that
is
a
quick
and
efficient
way
of
working
with
people,
we
can
essentially
end
homelessness
in
that
community.
So
we
use
this
graphic
to
show
we're
gonna,
prevent
new
incidents.
We're
gonna
increase
housing
outcomes
to
make
it
more
rare.
I
We're
gonna
make
every
episode
as
brief
as
we
can
and
then
provide
supports
to
prevent
people
falling
back
into
the
system
again,
and
not
only
can
we
do
it,
but
we
can
also
measure
it.
We
have
a
homeless
management
information
system
that
actually
has
data
that
can
measure
each
of
those
elements
of
the
system.
I
How
many
people
become
homeless,
the
first
time
total
number
at
any
one
time
length
of
time,
and
then
the
reduction
of
people
coming
back
into
the
system
as
well,
so
I
saw
apologize,
but
the
rapid
intro
of
all
of
that,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
I
got
to
that.
So
I
could
tell
you
sort
of
what
this
plan
was
based
on
and
what
we've
learned
over
these
years
to
base
the
plan
on
these
principles,
so
heading
home
together,
is
organized
in
two
main
levels.
I
There
are
seven
principles
that
I'll
talk
about
really
quickly
and
they
are
essentially
the
main
ingredients
that
any
state
any
community
really
needs
in
order
to
prevent
and
end
homelessness
in
their
community.
These
are
based
on
years
and
years
of
work
here
and
all
across
the
nation.
They're
base
done
guidance.
We
actually
received
from
our
federal
partners
at
the
United
States
interagency
Council
on
homelessness,
and
they
have
broad
support
from
our
partners
across
the
state
saying
yes,
that
is.
I
So,
for
example,
at
the
state
level,
the
work
that
I
do
with
the
interagency
council,
those
11
state
agencies
have
identified
147,
really
specific
actions
that
they
are
going
to
take
to
help
support
the
strategies
and
actions
moving
forward.
Other
partners
like
philanthropy
and
counties
are
starting
to
look
at
those
and
develop
those
as
well,
so
very
quickly.
Here's
what
they
are
the
first
one
is
that
we
have
to
identify
and
engage
all
people
experiencing
homelessness
in
our
communities.
Obviously,
we
can
effectively
end
homelessness
if
we're
not
able
to
identify
people.
I
So
one
of
the
major
actions
of
the
state,
for
example,
is
to
make
sure
we're
connecting
critical
mainstream
services
like
mental
health
care,
child
care
and
other
services
to
the
homeless
system,
so
that
we're
able
to
better
support
people
in
their
housing,
prevent
the
loss
of
affordable
housing
and
fill
the
gap
of
affordable
and
supportive
housing
opportunities.
Obviously,
this
is
a
major
area
of
this
work.
It's
it
really
should
be
number
one.
In
many
ways.
The
reason
people
are
experiencing
homelessness
is
that
they
cannot
afford
a
place
to
live.
I
This
is
where
cities
and
counties
and
states
and
others
obviously
play
a
very
big
role.
In
filling
this
gap,
the
governor
has
a
task
force
on
housing,
and
our
first
recommendation
in
this,
under
this
principle,
is
to
use
that
task
force
to
help
identify
statewide
with
that
gap
is
and
provide
recommendations
to
fill.
It
certainly
need
to
preserve
the
housing
stock
that
we
do
have
that's
affordable.
We
need
to
have
incentives
for
landlords
to
work
with
people
that
may
have
barriers
to
renting
in
the
existing
market
and
increase
services
in
supportive
housing.
I
I
Cities
can
certainly
play
a
role
in
and
have
we
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
just
build
our
way
out
of
this,
we
need
to
increase
people's
incomes
to
afford
housing,
and
so
many
strategies
related
to
aligning
our
employment
systems
and
our
homeless
and
housing
systems,
increasing
the
number
of
families
getting
access
to
child
care,
affordable
transportation
options,
those
kinds
of
strategies
and
then
finally,
organize
plans
and
partnerships
to
increase
and
increase
system
capacity
to
prevent
and
end
homelessness
on
an
ongoing.
So
this
is
all
about.
How
do
we
all
work
together?
I
How
do
we
align
our
work
at
all
levels
of
government
in
the
private
sector,
philanthropy
providers-
and
this
is
where
I
think
this
plan
holds
some
pretty
exciting
opportunities
for
us
I,
in
the
way
that
we
implement
it,
and
the
last
thing
I'll
say
before
I
bring
Mikkel
up
is
that
this
is
just
a
graphic
that
shows
you
how
we
all
on
one
page
what's
in
this
plan,
but
we
have
a
new
entity.
That's
forming
called
the
heading
home
together
leadership
circle.
I
It
is
co-chaired
by
the
Poulet
Foundation
and
the
Commissioner
of
Minnesota
Housing,
so
Susan
bass,
Roberts
president
of
the
polio
foundation
and
Mary
tegretol
Commissioner
of
Housing
working
together
and
bringing
all
of
those
sectors
around
the
same
table.
To
look
at
this
plan
identify
what
unique
opportunity
and
role
each
of
those
sectors
can
play
in
helping
to
increase
our
collective
impact
on
the
work
so
and
with
that,
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
Mikkel,
because
Mikkel
can
really
talk
more
locally
about
the
work
already
underway
in
Minneapolis
in
Hennepin
County.
J
Good
afternoon,
mr.
chair
and
committee
members,
Nicola
Beckman
I
work
for
Hennepin
County
as
the
housing
coordinator
in
the
housing
stability
area,
I'm
filling
in
for
David
Hewitt,
who
is
your
and
our
communities
director
of
the
office
to
end
homelessness,
he's
in
Washington
DC
representing
us
at
the
National
Leadership
Council
for
the
National
Alliance
to
End
Homelessness,
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
a
couple
of
local
activities.
We
really
are
in
alignment
around
this
basic
framework,
both
population-wise
and
with
the
principles
the
Cathy
identified
now
just
give
a
couple
examples.
J
We
also,
as
Kathy
mentioned,
are
making
great
progress
on
ending
veteran
homelessness.
I
would
just
add
to
what's
already
been
mentioned.
We
just
received
26
new
federal
Vash
vouchers
to
add
to
our
complement.
These
are
lifetime
housing
subsidies
that
were
created
under
the
Obama
administration
and
Congress
several
years
back
and
our
city
has
been
really
good
at
utilizing
those
and
we
keep
getting
rewarded
with
additional
Vash
vouchers
because
of
that,
so
we
do
have
44
veterans
left
on
our
registry
without
a
housing
plan,
and
hopefully
these
26
will
well
help
in
that
effort.
J
I'm
hoping
we
can
basically
get
two
functional
zero
sometime
over
the
winter
and
be
one
of
the
communities
in
Minnesota
that
has
effectively
ended
veteran
homelessness.
We're
also
launching
a
similar
by
name
list
and
case
conferencing
for
youth
experiencing
homelessness.
Following
on
both
the
veteran
homelessness
effort,
as
well
as
the
chronic
homeless,
ending
chronic
homelessness
initiative,
we
have
we
launched
that
last
June
and
we
have
now
successfully
housed
120
individuals
who
meet
the
definition
of
long-term
homelessness
under
crisis
response.
We're
trying
to
get
upstream.
J
We're
also
launching
a
new
diversion
pilot
in
partnership
with
Catholic
Charities
and,
of
course,
we
have
our
new
adult
shelter
connect
program,
providing
a
single
single
point
of
entry
into
the
shelter
system,
one
of
the
consequent
intended
consequences.
I
think
in
one
of
the
reasons
we're
seeing
such
higher
numbers
in
our
single
adult
system
versus
the
family
system
is
that
before
the
adult
shelter
Connect
program,
we
used
to
get
about
six
new
people
a
day
on
the
single
adult
side
entering
our
shelter
system.
J
Since
the
launch
of
the
adult
shelter
connect
program,
we're
seeing
upwards
of
fifteen
new
people
a
day
trying
to
access
shelter,
so
we've
made
it
more
simplified
to
access,
shelter
and
easier
for
people
to
do,
and
so
I
think
one
of
the
unintended
consequences
is
we're
getting
more
people
coming
in
requesting
shelter.
Now
that
doesn't
also
mean
there
are
other
factors
related
to
what's
going
on
with
the
housing
crisis
and
the
income
disparity
crisis
we're
experiencing.
But
it
may
be
surprising
for
you
to
know
that
one
of
the
reasons
our
shelter
system
is
at
capacity.
J
We
have
sixteen
hundred
shelter
beds
in
our
community,
which
is
a
lot
compared
to
many
communities.
On
the
single
adult
side,
the
people
who
are
staying
longest
in
shelter
are
actually
the
working
men
in
the
higher
ground
pay
for
stay
shelter.
These
are
men
who
are
employed,
but
they're.
Staying
in
shelter
for
very
long
periods
of
time,
because
they're
not
able
to
access
the
housing
market
because
they
have
histories,
they
have
criminal
histories.
J
And
so
even
though
we
have
men
with
incomes
they're
sitting
in
shelter,
we
just
did
a
series
of
listening
sessions
with
these
men
and
they
would
love
to
get
into
the
apartments
that
they've
applied,
for
they
spend
a
lot
of
their
money
actually
on
application
fees
and
trying
to
apply
and
are
continually
screened
out
and
so
something
locally.
We
really
need
to
look
at
as
a
community
is.
J
Can
we
move
towards
more
inclusive
property
management
practice
that
practices
that
screen
people
in
an
account
for
them
their
barriers,
especially
when
we
were
committing
funding
to
building
new
units
of
housing
dedicated
to
for
people
who've
experienced
homelessness,
and
are
we
really
our
staff
really
looking
at
and
scrutinizing
some
of
those
practices?
So
something
to
look
at
and
something
to
mention
a
couple
of
other
things.
I
think
I
want
to
point
out
one
really
great
success
in
that
falls
under
the
rapidly
linking
people
to
housing
and
services.
J
It
was
the
hundred
day
challenge
for
homeless
youth
that
we
all
participated
in
last
year
and
I
want
to
call
out
a
city
staff
person,
Teresa
Harold
who's
in
your
employment
area.
She
was
an
amazing
leader
on
that
hundred
a
challenge
and
was
a
great
partner
with
the
community
and
the
county,
and
we
were
the
only
community
in
this
nationwide
challenge
to
add
employment
to
our
goal.
J
It
was
sort
of
a
cross-cultural
experience
of
workforce,
people,
housing
and
homeless
experts
and
others,
and
you
know
we
kept
the
suits
and
skirts
out
of
the
room
sort
of
the
leadership
and
let
the
frontline
staff
come
in
and
they
really
together
just
problem
solved
and
moved
things
forward,
and
it
it
taught
us
a
lot
about
how
we
can
work
across
sectors
together
as
a
community
and
I
think
that
example
is
gonna,
bear
many.
Fruit
occur
in
our
correctional
and
child
welfare
and
health
care
systems
and
with
our
housing
folks.
J
So
I
just
wanted
to
call
that
out
as
a
real
success
and
that
work
will
continue
a
couple
of
other
things.
Kathy
mentioned
the
reduction
in
family
homelessness
and
we
are
experiencing
the
lowest
numbers
in
our
family
shelter
system,
maybe
in
the
last
ten
years.
Definitely
since
2011
last
night
we
had
a
hundred
and
nine
families
vouchered
into
our
shelter
system
in
2014.
At
this
point
last
same
point
in
time
we
had
two
hundred
and
forty
some
families
in
shelter.
J
We
do
have
a
much
I,
think
more
organized
system
on
the
family
side
and
it's
been
more
organized
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
I
would
say
our
coordinated
entry
on
the
family
side
is
working
really
well
we're
just
getting
it
up
and
running
on
the
single
side,
and
so
we
really
need
to
focus
on
that
single
adult
side.
J
J
Shelters
stay
less
than
a
week
and
we
never
see
them
again,
but
it's
the
5
to
10
to
15%
who
stay
for
many
many
months
who
consume
vast
numbers
of
shelter
beds,
and
if
we
can
do
something
about
that
smaller
number,
we
would
free
up
a
lot
of
shelter
beds.
That's
not
happening
right
now,
so
we
need
to
look
at
that
and
I
think
it's
policymakers.
You
need
to
have
that
conversation.
If
you
haven't
already
about
what.
J
Size
for
our
single
adult
shelter
system.
We
know
we
right
now
we
don't
have
enough.
We
know
there's
a
lot
of
people
sleeping
outside
and
on
the
trains,
so
I
think
that's
something
to
really
look
at
so
want
to
highlight
just
a
couple
more
things
and
then
I'll
stop
I've
got
a
whole
laundry
list.
I.
Could
we
could
be
here
for
hours,
I?
Think
there's
a
lot
of
great
work
happening
locally.
J
Housing
stability
is
the
goal.
We
can
talk
about
any
homelessness,
but
really
what
we
should
do
is
stop
talking
about
any
homelessness,
and
we
should
start
talking
about
the
vision
of
all
of
our
citizens
having
housing,
stability,
there's
only
two
ways
to
make
the
math
work
and
you've
probably
heard
you
say
this
before
you
can
lower
the
cost
of
housing
which
we
try
to
do
with
providing
subsidized
units
and
building
housing
for
people
at
30%
and
low
area
median
income.
J
But
then
we
also
have
to
be
about
income
building
and
raising
getting
more
money
in
people's
pockets
to
help
them
go,
compete
in
the
housing
market,
and
so
we
need
to
bring
our
employment,
ensure
job
training.
Folks,
together
with
our
housing
folks,
because
the
housing
folks,
don't
naturally
and
shelter
folks,
don't
think
about
as
much
about
in
the
income
building
piece
80%
of
the
adults
in
our
shelter
system
are
not
disabled,
not
bound
for
a
supportive
housing
unit.
J
That
I
won't
go
into
great
detail
on
right
now,
but
we
really
are
trying
to
do
this
cross-cultural,
bringing
these
sectors
together
to
have
a
bigger
impact.
We
launched
the
nation's
first-ever
rapid,
rehousing,
an
employment
pilot
for
you.
We've
we're
looking
at
how
to
use.
We
owe
our
federal
vo
$1,
which
the
city
minneapolis
receives
and
tie
that
into
housing
opportunities,
so
I
think
there's
some
opportunity
there.
So
I'll
stop
there,
because.
A
The
other
questions
I
have
a
little
question
I
wanted
asked
to,
and
this
had
to
do
with
the
working
man
in
the
in
the
shelter's
who
can't
find
housing
and
I
know.
That's
definitely
something
we're
working
on
here
about
rental
licenses
and
you
can
access
that.
But
what
roughly,
what
kind
of
rent
could
they
afford
to
pay?
Well,.
J
J
K
First
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
your
continued
work.
I
know
they've
been
both
of
been
just
amazing,
just
you're
kind
of
out
of
your
focus
and
I
love,
the
the
move
to
data
and
I
just
want
to
compliment
you
on
on
that
and
I
think
just
looking
at
the
numbers,
the
where
we've
been
able
to
go
with
families
as
well
as
veteran
homelessness
like
it's
no
surprise,
we
how
we
got
there,
we
dedicated
resources
we
did
so
over
time.
K
I
mean
we
did
so
in
working
with
federal
government
and
others,
but
then
also
like
that.
Those
are
very
specific
groups
and
we're
in
a
very
different
climate.
Now
so
I
guess.
My
question
is
you
know,
with
kind
of
the
funding
looking
down
the
line
like
who's
falling
through
the
cracks
and
what
is
kind
of
being
done
about
that.
J
Well,
I
can
answer
locally
and,
like
you
could
give
a
statewide
response.
If
you'd
like
Kathy,
we
had
a
fifty
son,
a
single
adult
side,
which
is
let's
focus
there,
because
that's
where
their
demand
is
right.
Now
we.
J
J
We
have
a
variety
of
folks
within
that
group
senior
citizens
who
have
no
savings,
people
in
their
50s
and
60s,
who
are
having
trouble
accessing
the
job
market,
younger,
disabled
people,
people
who
have
grown
up
without
any
experience
of
having
stable
housing
or
employment,
but
really
it's
about
for
a
lot
of
people,
income
and
just
the
lack
of
units
available
at
30%
and
below
area
median
income
and
the
local
gap.
I
believe
is
60
or
36,000.
I.
Think
it's
in
the
slide
presentation
I
said
earlier,
but
but
it's
it's.
J
Have
a
large
gap
I
think
it's
great,
that
you
know
there's
a
proposal
from
the
mayor's
office
to
really
boost
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
amounts
and
to
focus
on
30%.
Are
you
median
income?
I
would
say
that
you
can
prioritize
30%
below,
but
you
may
or
may
not
get
proposals
from
the
development
community
because
it's
really
challenging
without
ongoing
operating
subsidies.
J
So
unless
you
really
say
we're
kind
of
mandating,
30%
below
you
may
or
may
not
get
the
number
of
units
you
want,
or
somehow
figuring
out
a
partnership
with
either
Minneapolis
public
housing
or
some
other
entity
to
provide
some
of
that.
Because
again,
if
the
market
could
produce
those
units,
they
would
it's
just
without
that.
You
know
ongoing
support,
it's
really
challenging.
So
that's
the
piece
to
figure
out
I
think
you've
been
really
creative
around.
J
L
You
mr.
chair
really
I,
so
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
how
much
the
data
that's
coming
from
the
coordinated
entry
shift
is
helping
understand
the
dynamics
that
you
talked
about
in
terms
of
particularly
the
single
adults
and
how
we're
going
to
better
serve
all
of
these
different
populations
and
I.
Think
so.
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
on
the
board
of
heading
home
kind
of
been
since
I
took
office
and
I've
seen
over
the
even
that
short
period
of
time.
L
How
that
data
is
helping
us
understand
the
single
adult
population,
the
needs
of
the
youth
in
our
shelter
system.
The
fact
that
we
have
a
significant
population
of
aging
seniors
that
have
more
and
more
health
issues
and
so
I
think
our
shelter
system
needs
approaches
that
are
aligned
with
the
populations
that
we're
trying
to
serve,
and
that
sounds
like
an
obvious
statement.
But
now
we
have
the
data
to
help
us
understand
what
what
that
those
needs
really
are
so
I
think
that's
really
important.
I
I
also
wanted
to
say
a
couple
of
other
things.
L
The
first
is
that
we're
working
on
a
lot
of
policies
around
housing,
stability
as
a
city
and
I-
think
it's
really
exciting.
This
council
is
really
digging
in
and
working
on,
renter
issues
and
on
our
comprehensive
plan,
which
has
become
a
bit
of
there's
a
couple
of
items
in
that
draft
plan
that
have
become
a
bit
of
a
flashpoint
but
I.
L
But
the
piece
that
I'm
the
most
concerned
about
is
when
we're
talking
about
funding
for
homeless
services
and
for
particularly
for
building
new
housing
and
preserving
housing.
I'm
concerned
that
the
city
of
Minneapolis
has
such
a
high
population
of
cost
burdened
households
and
that
our
primary
tool
for
raising
funds
for
affordable
housing
is
property
taxes.
L
Because,
again,
here
in
Minneapolis,
we
have
a
concentration
of
cost
burdened
households
and
I
welcome
ideas
of
about
different
kinds
of
funding
mechanisms
that
we
could
use,
that
aren't
property
taxes.
But
as
we
continue
to
rely
on
property
taxes,
there's
there
has
to
be
a
balance
there
of.
Where
we're
you
know,
making
the
problem
worse,
that
we're
trying
to
solve.
So
that's
my
little
speech
you
can
you
can
respond
or
not.
J
I
think
that
having
Housing
Finance
discussions
with
the
county
and
other
entities,
the
Met,
Council
and
others
would
be
great
I-
would
love
to
see
a
Housing
Finance,
interjurisdictional
Housing
Finance
conversation
happening.
Maybe
it's
happening
already
with
our
housing,
wonderful
Housing,
Finance
experts
at
the
city
and
other
band
at
the
county
and
other
places,
but
I
think
there's.
You
know
other
communities
that
are
struggling
with
the
same
issue,
because
it's
a
national
issue
are
coming
up
with
a
variety
of
ways
to
find
a
way
to
fund
the
creation
and
support
for
affordable
housing.
J
You
know
summer
some
are
straight
up
like
Los,
Angeles
I
was
just
out
there
and
they
have
just
passed
a
quarter.
Cent
sales,
tax,
that'll
generate
and
I
think
it's
two
billion
dollars
a
year
for
the
development
of
affordable
housing
over
the
next
15
years.
Other
cities
are
looking
at.
The
counties
are
looking
at
a
variety
of
measures
to
do
that
and
I.
Just
think.
Having
that
conversation
and
looking
at
the
menu
of
options
you
have
as
policymakers
would
be
great.
A
Well,
thank
you,
I,
don't
see
any
other
comments
or
questions.
I
do
want
to
well.
I
guess:
I
won't
ask
a
question,
but
maybe
you
can
respond
to
the
emotions
that
I'm
gonna
make
necessarily
okay
I'll.
Just
it's
my
understanding
that
you're
interested
in
getting
more
jurisdictions
or
entities
involved
in
on
the
record
as
being
aligned
with
this
work
and
the
principles.
Yes.
I
A
It's
in
that
spirit
that
the
motion
brought
forward.
There's
two
parts
to
this
motion,
but
the
first
is
just
to
authorize
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
formally
sign
on
as
a
partner
to
this
heading
home
together
action
plan
and
expresses
our
general
agreement
with
the
principles
and
goals
of
it,
and
also
that
we
agree
to
find
opportunities
to
align
our
work
to
help
end
homelessness,
make
progress
toward
the
vision,
goals
and
principles
outlined
in
the
plan,
then
there's
a
second
part
of
the
motion.
A
We
can
separate
or
divide
these
if
somebody
wants
wants
to
on
the
committee
here,
but
is
a
staff
Direction
directing
our
cpad
staff
to
identify
specific
actions.
The
City
Minneapolis
is
taking
consistent
with
this
action
plan
and
also
recommend
further
actions.
We
could
take
to
be
aligned
more
closely
with
its
goals
and
particular
strategies.
K
Have
a
friendly
amendment
on
the
second
motion,
where
you
talk
about
this
staff
direction,
having
the
city
of
Minneapolis
taking
consistent
actions
with
the
action
plan,
the
after
they
hand
to
recommend
future
actions
I
had
before,
including
including
outcomes
to
measure
I.
Think
one
of
the
powers
of
this
plan
is
the
action
plan
is
really
the
measurements
and
I
want
you
to
make
sure
that
what
we're
measuring
is
lined
up
with
the
action
plan.
I
think.
A
A
A
Saved
you
think'll,
thank
you
for
being
here.
We
have
one
more
item
on
the
agenda
and
this
is
the
least
for
one
of
us
up
here.
The
long
awaited
resolution
establishing
a
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
housing,
and
we
will
have
a
brief
presentation
just
about
a
little
bit
focused
on
how
the
proposal
has
changed
a
bit
from
the
recommendation.
We
got
from
our
Public
Health
Advisory
Committee
several
weeks
ago,
Thank.
M
You
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I'm
Andrea
Brennan,
director
of
housing
policy
and
development
for
the
city
on
March
23rd,
the
City
Council,
received
and
filed
a
report
from
the
public
health
advisory
committee,
recommending
the
establishment
of
a
housing
Advisory
Committee
and
also
approved
a
staff
direction
to
the
department's
of
Community,
Planning
and
Economic
Development
regulatory
services
and
the
Health
Department
to
return
to
the
housing
policy
and
development
committee
with
the
draft
resolution
to
create
a
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
housing.
So
that
is
what
we're
here
to
do
today.
M
I
know
a
Schuckman
with
regulatory
services
is
also
here.
So
the
resolution
that
is
before
you
establishes
the
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
housing.
The
purpose
of
this
committee
is
to
advise
the
department's
of
cpad
Community,
Planning
economic
development,
regulatory
services,
health
and
the
sustainability
Division
of
the
city
coordinators
office,
as
well
as
the
City
Council
regarding
matters
related
to
housing,
policy
and
development,
rental
licensing
in
other
areas
which
affect
the
accessibility,
maintenance,
development
of
stable
quality,
sustainable,
healthy
and
affordable
housing
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
M
The
role
of
the
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
housing
will
include
serving
as
liaisons
between
the
city
and
the
community
in
addressing
housing
concerns,
as
well
as
proactively
engaging
the
community
around
these
issues.
The
the
committee
is
proposed
to
be
comprised
of
no
more
than
21
members,
including
12
resident
members,
with
H
to
be
appointed
by
the
council
and
four
to
be
appointed
by
the
mayor.
M
C
You
sheriff
who's
gonna
do
all
this
work,
I
mean
you're
gonna,
bring
21
people
together
to
discuss
what
and
where,
and
so
our
staff
is
now
not
going
to
do
the
long
list
of
things
that
we
have
them
doing,
because
they're
going
to
be
spending
the
first
five
months,
bringing
everybody
up
to
speed
on
what
the
current
policies
are
and
then
a
couple
months
talking
about
all
the
proposed
policy
changes
and
housing
is
a
complicated
issue.
Who's
gonna
do
all
the
staff
work.
C
Are
you
as
the
chair
is
the
chair
going
to
be
proposing
new
staff
people
in
the
housing
division
and
the
Reg
services
division
to
be
dealing
with
this,
because
our
staff,
as
I
understand
it,
can
barely
keep
up
with
the
work
that
we're
doing
without
any
additional
staffing?
So
I'm
just
wondering
how
this
is
going
to
be
steps
who's
going
to
produce
this
report?
C
A
I'm
not
sure
if
that
was
a
rhetorical
question,
or
if
that's
a
question
for
me,
I
mean
it's.
Staffing
is
certainly
something
that
came
up
with
the
work
groups
when
we
talked
about
it
already,
and
we
do
have
some
staff
who
are
available
to
put
in
some
time,
but
actually
we've
gotten
an
investment
to
coordinate
that
effort
between
the
three
different
departments
and
they're
just
discussing
that
right
now.
This
is
something
that
we
do
with
many
advisory
committees.
A
So
oh
you're
right
take
some
staff
time
when
they
make
an
annual
report
and
we
have
annual
reports
to
come
up
to
other
committees,
but
it
also
we
have
a
lot
of
work
that
goes
into
it
from
the
committee.
It's
actually
my
hope
that
we're
going
to
get
volunteer
effort
out
of
this
that's
going
to
make
things
go
more
efficient.
A
I,
don't
know
that
we've
necessarily
got
lined
up
which
staff
are
going
to
put
in
which
hours
to
serve
the
committee
yet
but
I'm.
If
you
guys
have
that
all
figured
out
you're
welcome.
But
my
understanding
is.
We
have
two
three
department
directors
who
are
willing
to
help
find
that
and
to
staff.
The
committee
council
president
bender
Thank.
L
You
mr.
chair
I,
don't
want
to
interrupt
if
you
had
more
to
say,
but
I
did
want
to
note
that
last
year
in
the
budget
we
did
add
one
new
FTE,
which
was
a
housing
stability
coordinator
and
when
I
spoke
with
the
mayor
and
the
council
members
about
that
position
which
I
proposed
part
of
what
I
imagine
this
person
doing
was
staffing
this
particular
organization.
So
we
do
have
one
new
full-time
staff
person
specifically
dedicated
to
housing.
L
Stability
I,
know,
there's
a
giant
list
of
work
to
do,
but
that
was
part
of
the
argument
that
I
was
making
to
my
colleagues
when
I
proposed
the
position
it
was
not
in
the
housing
department.
It
was
actually
in
the
coordinators
office
originally,
because
I
had
actually
thought
that
they
would
want
to
do
more
of
this
kind
of
facilitation
work,
but
we
moved
it
into
the
housing
department
at
the
request
of
cpad,
so
I'm
happy
to
have
it
there.
But
this
was
the
kind
of
work.
I
was
imagining
this.
L
The
staff
person
doing
with
part
of
their
time
and
again
I
could
turn
it
back
to
you.
Mr.
chair,
if
you
want
to
see
more
but
I
would
just
say,
I
agree
that,
based
on
my
experience,
both
as
a
member
of
an
advisory
committee
and
as
a
council
member,
that's
worked
closely
with
a
number
of
them.
There
is
some
smart
start
up
time,
but
you
know
we
we
appoint
the
positions.
Staff
typically
brings
us
a
recommendation
of
who
they
would
like
us
to
consider
to
put
on
these
bodies.
L
I
mean
I
would
offer
that
I
think
this
group
should
be
very
clear
about
the
limitations
of
staff
time
and
and
that
we
should
all
be
clear
that
we
need
to
better
prioritize
the
work
and
stop
just
piling
more
on
to
the
housing
staff,
because
I
agree
that
that
is
happening.
We
just
approved
a
really
highly
paid
person
in
the
mayor's
office
to
support
housing.
So
perhaps
that
person
can
help
with
this
committee
as
well.
L
K
You
mr.
chair
I
wholeheartedly
agree
with
councilmember
Goodman
on
the
concern
for
staff
time.
I
think
that
we
always
need
to
think
about
that.
I
also
think
we
need
to
think
about
what
staffing
we're
doing
when
we're
not
spending
that
money
on
housing.
I
am,
however,
really
supportive
of
this
idea.
I
think
is
that
we
look
around.
We
are
not
set
up
as
a
city
historically
to
actually
solve
problems
like
we
just
heard
a
report
where
they
are
very
focused
on
outcomes
and
numbers
and
I.
K
I
also
want
to
thank
you
and
I
know
that
you've
been
working
a
lot
with
the
Department
to
make
this
kind
of
a
compromise.
So
it
isn't
too
much
of
a
burden
on
staff,
but
at
the
same
time
reaches
the
goals
of
getting
the
input.
We
need
to
come
up
with
innovative
solutions
because
I
don't
think
we
have
those
innovative
solutions
yet,
but
I
hope
that
this
committee
can
get
us
there.
A
M
Sure
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
I,
would
add
that
we
have
hired
a
housing
policy
coordinator
in
the
housing
division.
We're
really
excited
about
her
starting
June
4th,
and
we
expect
that
she
will
be
able
to
spend
some
of
her
time
supporting
this
work.
The
housing
stability
specialist
that
council
president
ender
mentioned.
We
are
in
the
process
of
trying
to
hire
that
position
as
well,
and
the
that
position
is
focused
on
a
number
of
the
staff
directions.
I
came
out
of
the
August
3rd
2017
study
session.
M
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
You
know
just.
Lastly,
I
guess:
I'll
I'll
comment
them.
If
this
is
approved,
which
I
expect
it
will
be
I
hope
that
we'll
all
be
thoughtful
about
who
we
reach
out
to
just
to
encourage
to
serve
on
this
committee.
I
think
we
do
have
some
incredible
individuals
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
in
a
number
of
agencies
that
are
linked
up
to
the
type
we're
looking
for.
