That
would
make
nearly
three

A
A
A
C
You
good
afternoon,
chair
Gordon
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
Emily
Carr
senior
project
coordinator
was
seated.
There
are
several
actions
before
you
today
related
to
the
current
Commons
redevelopment,
and
the
recommended
actions
today
represents
some
of
the
final
stages
of
the
transformation
of
the
four
acre
blighted
and
contaminated
by
Stern
Brothers
industrial
area
into
a
mixed
income
and
transit
oriented
development.
This
work
over
the
years
has
been
led
by
steward
redesign
a
community-based
organization.
C
C
The
redevelopment
of
this
project
goes
back
quite
a
few
years
and
throughout
this
time
the
city
has
been
really
instrumental
in
the
acquisition
and
development
of
the
previous
phases.
In
April
2009,
the
City
Council
approved
an
acquisition
and
concept
plan
for
the
redevelopment
and
then
in
June.
The
city
entered
into
a
redevelopment
agreement
with
Seward
redesign
for
the
redevelopment
of
Seward
Commons
accomplishments
to
date
include
40
units
of
supportive
housing
at.
C
Is
shown
shown
here
in
phase
1?
This
was
a
partnership
project
between
touchstone
mental
health
and
project
for
pride
in
living
phase,
two
of
the
project
with
60
units
of
affordable
senior
housing
at
the
cooperage,
which
is
the
development
by
common
pod
communities
and
also
completed,
is
in
this
kind
of
yellow
building
called
the
gateway
building
or
the
Verna
building,
which
is
a
revitalized
commercial
and
public
plaza
space
in
the
redevelopment
area.
C
There's
also
been
new
streetscape
and
infrastructure
improvements
that
have
made
the
area
walkable
and
transit
supportive
phase,
3
part
of
which
is
before
you
today
consists
of
160
units
in
the
green
buildings.
Here
that
will
be
completed
into
some
phases.
The
Bessemer
at
Seward
Commons,
which
is
here
and
runs
along
Snelling
Avenue,
includes
128
for
market
rate
units
and
is
a
partner
project
between
Seward
redesign
and
Schaffer
Richardson
wad
egg
Commons,
which
is
phase
3b
across
the
street.
C
Here,
is
proposed
to
be
32
units
affordable
to
families
at
60%,
ami
or
below,
and
that
is
a
partnership
project
between
Seward
redesign
and
noir
companies.
These
projects
will
be
transit
and
bike
oriented
and
will
provide
direct
access
to
the
Hiawatha,
LRT,
pedestrian
and
bike
path.
Seward
redesign
and
the
project
partners
are
requesting
approximately
four
million
dollars
in
tax,
increment
financing
or
TIF
to
support
these
two
buildings
here
in
Green's.
The
Bessemer,
which
again
is
the
larger
project
here,
includes
28
studios,
67,
one
bedrooms
and
33
two-bedroom
units.
C
C
Primary
financing
for
this
project
includes
a
Freddie
Mac
permanent
mortgage
developer,
equity
and
TIFF.
The
developer
partners
also
secured
$600,000
in
Tod
funds
from
Hennepin
County
and
as
well
as
several
environmental
grants
to
support
the
cleanup
of
the
site.
Developer
equity
in
the
Bessemer
includes
partner,
cache
of
585
thousand
dollars,
six
million
dollars
in
equity
and
a
deferred
developer
fee
of
2.2
million
dollars.
C
There
are
a
number
of
actions
before
you,
but
the
first
staff
recommendation
is
to
establish
a
new
tech,
new
redevelopment,
TIF
district
for
the
Bessemer
project.
The
city
will
issue
a
TIF
pay-as-you-go
note,
not
to
exceed
three
point:
four:
seven:
six
million
dollars
staff
has
reviewed
the
other
sources
included
in
this
project
and
concluded
that
each
source
has
been
maximized
to
the
extent
possible
and
the
amount
of
TIF
recommended
is
the
lowest
amount
necessary
for
the
project
to
proceed.
C
It
is
currently
projected
that
the
note
on
this
project
would
be
paid
back
in
20
years
and
the
developer
has
agreed
to
the
city's
proposed
recapture
provisions.
The
second
set.
Here's
the
recommendations
is
related
to
the
requested
parkland
dedication
waiver
redesign,
Shikha
Richardson
are
requesting
a
waiver
of
the
parkland
dedication
fee
requirement
for
the
Bessemer
in
exchange
for
constructing
a
public
trail
connection
that
links
the
Hiawatha
LRT
trail
to
22nd
Street.
D
C
Steward
redesign
is
also
planning
a
significant
rehab
of
22/15
selling
Avenue,
which
is
this
building
an
orange
here,
also
known
as
the
focus
Arts
Building,
and
they
have
signed
a
lease
with
established
arts
and
education
based
organization
to
be
the
anchor
tenant
there.
The
goal
of
this
planned
rehab
is
to
provide
long-term,
affordable
space
for
arts
organizations
and
creative
businesses.
This
rehab
work
is
planned
to
be
finished
March
of
next
year
and
these
actions
will
help
facilitate
the
private
financing
of
that.
A
E
Afternoon
my
name
is
Sheldon
Mane's
I
live
at
27:18,
East,
24th,
Street
and
Seward
the
bought
our
house
in
1978
and
Seward.
When
my
wife
started
a
veterinary
school
and
we've
lived
there
ever
since
three
quick
points.
One
is
a
great
thank
you
to
staff
for
a
very
thorough
and
complete
report.
It
covered
everything
and
then
some.
E
Secondly,
this
project
has
been
before
the
Seward
neighborhood
group,
the
neighborhood
organization
ensured
numerous
times
since
nineteen,
I'm
sorry
since
2009
and
has
always
had
lots
of
support.
It
is
strongly
supported
by
the
neighborhood
group.
I
think
he
has
some
public
comments
that
were
included,
including
for
I
know
from
the
Milwaukee
Avenue
homeowners
association.
E
Third,
just
a
comment
on
tax
increment,
I've,
always
viewed
tax
increment.
One
of
the
purposes
is
to
deal
with
market
failure.
It
was
used
to
start
the
North
Loop.
It
was
used
on
the
east
side
of
the
river.
It
was
used
in
Downtown
East.
Those
were
all
the
first
project,
housing
projects
and
all
those
places
were
tax.
Increment
financing.
In
the
40-plus
years,
we've
lived
and
Seward
back
in
1985
I
think
there
was
a
apartment
building
built
near
where
the
Greenway
is
now
on
35th
Avenue.
That
was
the
last
non
income
limited
project
in
Seward.
E
A
D
I,
too,
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
the
hard
work.
That's
gone
into
this
project
done
for
the
council
for
supporting
this
project.
This
is
a
development
that
we
have
worked
on
diligently
for
a
full
10
years,
and
then
some
I
mean
it
took
a
few
years
of
work
with
staff
and
the
council
to
do
the
initial
acquisition.
I
know
that
the
tax
increment
decision
is
one
that
you
spend
a
lot
of
care
examining.
D
I
think
this
is
a
project,
though,
that
that
the
city
will
be
able
to
be
proud
of
the
community
in
and
I
think
the
city
were
pretty
clear
when
we
started
this
project
that
we
wanted
to
see
a
balance
of
different
housing
types
on
this
project.
Everything
that
we've
developed
up
until
now
has
been
deeply
affordable.
D
The
project
that's
proposed
after
this
will
be
deeply
affordable
and
will
be
designed
to
serve
families
in
the
neighborhood.
This
helps
project
helps
provide
that
balance
by
giving
members
of
the
community
some
opportunity
to
have
access
to
market
rate
housing
without
income
limits.
So
we
thank
you
for
your
support.
We
will
deliver
a
good
project
to
you.
A
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
congratulations.
I
know
we'll
be
excited
to
see
what
the
next
steps
are
and
also
when
this
opens
so
appreciate.
All
the
work
everybody
put
into
that.
So
now
we'll
move
on
to
our
final
discussion
item.
This
is
a
report
on
our
stable
homes,
stable
schools,
a
quarterly
report
we
asked
for
and
I
believe
we
have
a
few
people
who
might
be
involved
in
the
presentation
but
will
be
kicked
off
by
mr.
pink.
F
Oh
welcome
Thank
You
chair
Gordon
committee
members,
Kati
Topanga
of
the
pet
housing,
and
this
is
our
second
quarterly
reports
to
your
committee
to
bring
updates
on
the
stable
home,
stable
Schools
program,
and
the
updates
we'll
be
sharing
today
are
the
status
of
the
program
through
September
30th
and
as
a
reminder,
the
program
began
running
on
April
1st
of
this
year.
Kyle
Hanson
from
any
of
those
public
housing
authority
will
come
up
in
a
moment
to
present
details
about
the
progress
and
then
Charlotte
Kingsley
from
Minneapolis
Public.
F
Schools
is
also
here
to
share
some
updates
on
how
the
program
is
working
in
the
schools,
and
so
as
you'll
recall.
We
also
have
a
steering
committee
that
is
meeting
quarterly
made
up
of
the
mayor,
councilmembers
Schrader
and
Cunningham
County,
Commissioners
and
executive
directors
from
all
the
partner
organizations.
This
jayan
committee
met
again
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
heard
more
about
the
supportive
services
being
provided
by
the
YMCA
as
part
of
the
program
and
moving
forward
will
be
bringing
policy
questions
forward
to
the
steering
committee.
F
We've
also
had
requests
to
share
lessons,
we're
learning
from
collaborating
with
all
of
the
project
partners
that
could
be
replicated
and
other
probe,
so
we're
keeping
track
of
those
and
we'll
be
sharing
those
and
can
also
share
those
with
you
here
and
then.
The
steering
committee
also
requested
information
about
barriers
that
we
may
run
into
that
they
can
help
us
figure
out
how
to
overcome
so
again.
Just
wanted
to
put
this
slide
in
the
report
again
as
a
reminder
of
how
the
program
works.
F
Families
are
identified
by
MPs
school
social
workers
and
referred
to
mPHA
for
either
rental
assistance
or
the
housing
stability
program,
which
is
funded
by
the
pol
ed
Family
Foundation,
and
that
provides
one-time
assistance
to
families
at
risk
of
homelessness
so
before
we
turn
it
over
to
Kyle
to
get
into
the
specific
results
through
September
30th
I
wanted
to
touch
on
some
of
the
highlights
and
challenges
we've
experienced,
many
of
which
are
similar
to
what
we
reported
to
you
in
July.
The
program
rollout
continues
to
go
really
well.
F
This
is
a
double
what
we
had
spent
in
the
first
quarter
and
we're
confident
that
spending
will
continue
to
increase
as
families
our
house,
and
it
was
really
critical
to
have
the
full
budget
amount
in
place
to
get
the
program
off
the
ground
and
fully
staffed
and
we're
confident
that
as
more
families
are
enrolled
in
how
the
funds
will
be
utilized,
and
we
continue
to
see
enrollment,
increase
and
and
strong
demand
for
the
program
which
Kyle
and
Charlotte
will
talk
a
bit
more
about.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Kyle.
G
Here,
chair
garden
committee
members,
I
just
wanted
to
take
some
time
to
quickly
update
you
on
the
numbers
on
the
program.
We
can
continue
to
see
referrals
happening,
we've
had
a
total
of
93
referrals
so
far,
28
of
those
families
for
one
reason
or
another,
did
not
fit
the
guidelines
of
the
program
and
were
referred
over
to
the
YMCA
for
other
types
of
services.
We
have
identified
so
far
65
eligible
families.
There
are
10
who
are
in
process
right
now
with
applications.
G
G
So
within
those
65
families
that
are
eligible
for
the
program,
we
have
over
230
children
who
have
already
been
affected
by
this
program.
The
housing
stability
fund,
those
are
the
pohlad
fund
dollars
we
have,
and
these
are
to
keep
people
in
their
homes.
These
are
not
currently
homeless
families,
but
these
are
families
who
are
facing
some
instability.
G
A
G
One
of
the
other
goals
of
the
program
was
to
target
children
in
those
early
ages
between
the
ages
of
6
and
12.
Every
study
that
I
have
read
has
shown
that
the
biggest
impact
on
a
child
happens
during
those
years
and
if
you
can
stabilize
the
family
during
those
years,
the
outcomes
for
the
child
are
greatly
later
in
life.
So,
as
you
can
see,
of
the
children
on
the
program
that
have
been
deemed
eligible,
the
main
target
area
was
that
ages
6
through
12
and
the
vast
majority
of
students
are
on
fall
into
that
category.
G
H
H
A
H
H
H
One
is
if
you
look
at
the
location
where
students
are
being
identified,
we
saw
for
the
first
time
over
half
of
our
students
that
were
in
a
doubled
up
situation,
so
meaning
that
they
were
not
in
a
formal
shelter
setting,
but
they
were
staying
with
family
or
friends
temporarily
because
they
couldn't
find
anywhere
else
to
go
and
I
think
that
is
significant
for
a
couple
different
reasons.
One
from
our
perspective
at
the
school
families
who
are
doubled
up
are
particularly
vulnerable
or
at
risk.
H
Any
experience
of
homelessness
we
know,
is
challenging
or
traumatic,
but
for
us
in
terms
of
maintaining
attendance
and
supportive
families,
when
you're
in
a
shelter
setting
you
do
have
access
to
school
buses
coming
regularly,
you
have
sometimes
after-school
tutoring
programs.
We
have
staff
on-site
at
shelters
where
our
doubled-up
families
are
it's
just
much
harder
and
they're,
often
moving
more
regularly.
H
We
have
families
that
we've
been
transporting
from
all
over
the
Metro
who
are
now
in
the
neighborhood
of
their
school,
and
that
is
so
powerful.
We
had
one
one
of
my
favorite
stories
as
a
school
social
worker
at
the
open
house
this
year
had
a
mom
just
come
and
throw
her
arms
around
her
and
she
didn't
know
what
was
going
on.
But
this
family
had
been
referred
over
the
summer
had
found
housing.
I
think
this
family
had
even
walked
to
the
open
house.
H
They
were
that
close
and
we'd
been
transporting
that
family
from
Eagan
about
half
the
school
year
last
year,
because
they
were
doubled
up
out
in
Eagan
in
a
homeless
situation.
So
I
think
that
just
demonstrates
in
a
small
way
how
impactful
it's
been
for
for
us
at
the
school
school,
social
workers
and
teachers
have
known
for
a
long
time
how
housing
instability
impacts,
students
in
the
classroom.
It's
one
of
the
greatest
risk
factors
for
not
graduating.
I
Maybe
this
is
the
best
time
to
ask
and
kind:
let
you
close
with
it.
So
I
just
have
a
couple
of
specific
questions,
maybe
back
to
the
last
slide
about
now
that
there's
been
a
little
time
experiencing
with
the
program.
I
wondered
if
you
or
others
could
talk
about
what
are
the
you
know?
What
is
that?
What
are
the
barriers
to
getting
more
families
enrolled
as
a
staff
capacity
or
units
available,
and
then
I
have
a
second
question
about
how
how
this
is
being
staffed
and
how
how
that's
going
yeah.
H
G
I
think
clearly
we're
trying
to
be
very
intentional
about
not
flooding
certain
market
areas
with
too
many
families
with
the
vacancy
rate.
The
way
it
is
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
It
is
very
tough
to
find
housing
right
now,
so
there
was
also
initial
ramp
up.
We
had
to
do
some
hiring
and
get
folks
acclimated
get
them
trained
on
the
systems
and
what
it
is
doing
so.
G
I
think
that
we're
we're
up
to
capacity
now
and
we've
kind
of
hit
our
stride
of
what
numbers
we
can
handle
I
do
think
that,
as
you
can
see,
the
numbers
have
jumped
and
well
I
think
continue
to
jump
now
through
the
rest
of
the
year.
We
had
the
summer
to
kind
of
settle
in
on
that.
The
the
biggest
barrier,
however,
continues
to
be
locating
that
unit.
What
I
will
say
is
that
the
average
search
time
for
these
families
is
about
40
days
less
than
a
regular
voucher
holder.
G
So
we
are
having
more
success
because
of
the
services
provided
by
the
Y,
where
there's
that
one-on-one
contact
and
because
it's
a
specialized
program
that
comes
with
services,
property
owners
have
been
more
willing
to
participate
in
the
program.
So
so
I
think
we
continue
to
try
to
keep
that
balance.
A
I
Am
interested
in
how
this
is
being
staffed,
especially
at
the
city
side?
Maybe
that's
the
question
director
Frank
I
mean
how
much
of
an
FTE
is
worth
of.
Time
is
going
into
this
program
and
then
I
wondered.
You
know
how
the
collaboration
is
going
between
the
different
agencies
and,
if
there's
thoughts
about
staffing
again
now
that
you've
had
some
time
to
get
this
really.
F
Sure
so
I
think
I
caught
the
question,
but
so
from
the
city
standpoint
I
am
the
point
person
Etsy
ped
working
on
this
I.
Day-To-Day
running
of
this
program
is
really
being
handled
at
Minneapolis,
public
housing
authority
and
through
the
school
of
social
workers.
So
I
I
don't
know
the
exact
breakdown
of
the
time.
But
it's
not
it's
certainly
not
a
significant
amount
of
time.
F
I
part
of
my
role
from
the
city
staff
tied
it
aside,
is
convening
the
monthly
meetings
that
we
have
with
all
of
the
program
partners,
helping
to
convene
the
steering
committee
and
then
also
just
overseeing
the
contract
that
we
have
with
mPHA.
But
then
mPHA
as
well
as
the
YMCA
are
provided
in
the
schools
are
providing
the
data
they
staffing
at
the
program.
G
I
think
we
have
dedicated
staff
people
at
the
Housing
Authority.
We
have
a
full-time
person
on
the
pole,
bed
funds
and
we
have
a
full-time
person
that
is
working
with
the
families
on
the
regular
program.
All
the
other
services
are
being
provided
by
the
Y
and
then
my
time
is,
you
know,
kind
of
monthly
monitoring
reporting
and
we
have
a
data
person
who
pulls
the
statistics
for
us
and
but.
J
You
I
also
have
a
number
of
questions,
but
I
want
to
add
on
to
that
one.
The
staff
people
from
the
Poulet
money
are
coming
out
of
the
poll,
ed
grant
or
that's
coming
out
of
public
housing
and
public
schools
and
on
the
other
side
of
it,
is
the
money
coming
out
of
the
grant,
or
is
that
money
that
you
guys
are
partnering
to
do
this
program
I'd
like
a
full
accounting
of
the
three
million?
How
much
has
been
sent
out
the
door?
What
it's
been
spent
on?
J
G
So
and
Katie,
perhaps
you
could
pull
a
more
detailed
report
on
the
spent
I.
Don't
have
that
total
right
in
front
of
me,
but
spending
on
the
program
is
that
that
number
that
was
in
the
presentation
earlier,
so
the
total
expenditures
for
the
program
thus
far
as
two
hundred
and
sixty-five
thousand
dollars
out
of
the
3.2
million
that
was
allocated
and
that's
because
of
the
ramp
up
period.
Getting
families
on
you
know.
G
The
3.2
million
that
was
budgeted
is
enough
to
serve
three
hundred
and
twenty
families
full-time
on
the
program
consistently,
and
we
knew
that
it
was
going
to
take
some
time
to
get
ramped
up
to
that
place.
That
said,
the
pohlad
funds
are
paying
for
the
pohlad
staff
person
that
is
partially
paid
out
of
their
funds.
G
The
rest
of
it
comes
out
of
em
PHAs
annual
budget
part
of
the
funds
are
paying
for
our
staff
person
to
cover
the
costs
to
run
the
program
so
that
person
who's
working
directly
with
the
people,
but
the
monies
that
we're
receiving
don't
cover
all
of
the
costs
for
benefits
other
things.
So
we
do
cover
a
part
of
those
salaries.
We
recoup
an
administrative
fee,
but
it's
set
at
less
than
eight
percent
of
the
total
amount
expended.
G
J
I
J
I
gotta
be
honest,
I'm
just
thinking
you
spent
like
four
hundred
thousand
dollars,
you
have
3.2
million.
Do
we
need
to
put
another
three
million
and
next
year
to
sit
into
an
account
I?
Don't
think
so,
because
why
don't
we
spend
down
some
of
that
money
and
get
the
other
money
out
the
door
on
some
other
worthy
thing?
So.
A
I
J
So,
just
in
that,
just
in
the
interest
of
clarity
we're
talking
about,
we
haven't
even
spent
the
three
point-two
we're
talking
about
putting
three
more
million
in
and
we
haven't
spent
anywhere
near
that
and
that
could
probably
be
spent
on
other
things
that
are
more
pressing
in
terms
of
housing.
To
get
that
money
out
the
door.
I'm
not
saying
you're,
not
doing
good
work,
you're
doing
great
work,
but
we
don't
need
to
sit
on
five
million
dollar
balance
either.
I
Five,
so
that's
about
the
housing
stability
fund
and
I
was
just
curious,
because
we've
had
so
much
discussion
about
County
emergency
assistance
dollars.
The
county
is
not
spending
millions
of
dollars
in
emergency
assistance.
Funds
and
I
just
wondered
how
many
of
these
things
are
eligible
for
those
dollars
and
then
it
seems
like
some
of
them
are,
and
then
you
know
why.
Why
is
this
program
stepping
in
where
the
county.
G
So
so
I
can't
speak
to
specifics
on
it,
but
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
many
of
these
families,
because
of
the
very
strict
regulations
uncon
qualifying
for
county
assistance.
This
is
a
much
lower
barrier
program.
So
it's
meant
to
be
quick.
It's
meant
to
be
easy.
It's
met.
It's
not
meant
to.
You
know,
set
up
all
these
parameters
that
you
have
to
call
it
by,
for.
I
You
know
how
much
are
we
affecting
housing
costs
and
housing
instability
through
property
taxes
versus
investing
in
programs
that
are
designed
to
help
and
so
I
think
I
would
echo
the
question
which
is
not.
Should
we
continue
to
invest
in
this
worthy
program?
But
you
know
what:
how
does
the
timing
mace
make
sense
and
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
levy
millions
more
dollars
when
we're
spending,
hundreds
of
thousands
or
a
million
dollars
or
so
so
I
think.
H
Just
one
other
comment
before
I
go
to
the
story.
One
of
the
things
that
we're
really
excited
about
is
that
now
that
we're
in
the
phase
of
actually
families
being
housed,
that's
sort
of
where
our
work
begins
so
really
being
intentional
about
making
sure
that,
when
we've
looked
at
other
models
of
a
housing
and
a
school
partnership,
it
housing
isn't
enough.
We
also
need
some
of
this
wraparound
if
we're
gonna
see
education
outcomes
and
so
that
becomes
then
our
task
is
once
families
are
housed
as
a
school
wrapping.
H
Our
arms
kind
of
around
that
family,
with
whatever
their
needs,
might
be
and
their
strengths
are
to
make
sure
that
we
do
see
those
outcomes
that
will
show
in
a
minute,
but
the
increase
in
attendance
and
behavior
and
education
outcomes
that
we
hope
to
see
and
now
the
fun
part.
So
we
have
lots
of
success
stories,
but
this
is
just
the
one
that
we
decided
to
share
with
you
today.
H
H
F
F
I
For
sure
I
just
I
mean
I
think
this
was
a
really
great
partnership
and
I
really
especially
want
to
lift
up
the
work
of
this
school
I'm,
AM,
MPs
parent,
and
to
see
our
school
system
get
so
active
in
housing.
Our
kids
is
really
cool
and
exciting.
On
top
of
all
the
other
things
that
the
district
is
doing
to
serve
our
families
I
think
it's
really
unique
and
important
to
just
thank
you
for
that
and,
of
course,
our
city
in
public
housing
authority
too.
A
K
Thank
you
for
having
me
and
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
mr.
chair
I,
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
everyone.
Who's
been
working
so
hard
on
this
program.
North
Side
kids
are
greatly
benefiting
from
this
program
and
you
can
see
that
reflected
in
the
numbers.
I'm
hearing
it
as
a
council
member
about
how
how
impactful
this
has
been
and
speaking
from
a
systemic
perspective.
It's
a
really
big
deal.
We've
been
able
to
operationalize
an
interjurisdictional
cross-sector
coalition
for
a
program
and
should
such
a
short
period
of
time.
K
Typically,
these
sort
of
initiatives
take
at
least
a
year
to
even
get
operationalized,
let
alone
getting.
Families
served
and
kids
stabilized
and
we've
been
able
to
see
it
ramped
up
and
also
actually
be
implemented
within
the
first
year
and
I.
Think
that's
really
quite
amazing
and
we're
seeing
the
positive
impacts
we
are.
We
have
a
system
that's
in
place
and
so
I
think
that
it's
really
wonderful.
How
intentional
and
committed
every
single
partner
has
been
at
the
table.
K
There
are
a
lot
of
Partners,
which
makes
it
even
more
remarkable
that
it
has
been
so
successfully
operationalized
in
such
a
short
period
of
time.
There's
never
the
expectation
that,
from
day,
one
all
of
a
sudden
money
would
be
going
out
the
door
because
it
was
a.
It
was
a
program
that
needed
to
be
developed,
an
operationalize
to
be
implemented,
and
so
so
I
think
that
what
we've
seen
is
really
significant
impacts
that
are
only
going
to
grow
as
we
continue
to
scale
up.
K
K
There
are
so
many
clear
indicators
about
the
the
impacts
of
homelessness
and
the
risk
factors
that
that
increases
for
a
whole
slew
of
negative
outcomes
for
real
kids
like
these
are
real
human
beings.
We
look
at
numbers,
I
mean
we
can
say
cool,
there's,
15
kids,
who
are
being
served
at
this
school
or
that
school,
but
that's
a
huge
deal
or
15
families.
I
should
say,
like
that's
a
huge
deal
for
those
families,
and
it
has
ripple
effects
for
generations
and
also
for
the
folks
around
them.
K
A
Thanks
so
much
for
being
here
and
for
sharing
your
thoughts,
I'll
just
also
know
that
it
I
know
that
it's
a
lot
to
expect.
You
focus
to
come
every
quarter
and
report
in
on
this
and
gather
up
the
information
and
the
data,
but
it's
really
helpful
and
it's
useful
for
us
to
know
and
I
also
think
to
help
hold
us
accountable
to
the
public
at
large
and
appreciate
the
great
report
and
your
being
here
and
the
investment
you're
making
in
it
and
helping
us
understand
it
better.
