Description
Minneapolis Housing Policy & Development Committee Meeting
A
Welcome
I'm
gonna
call
to
order
our
meeting
today.
This
is
a
meeting
of
the
housing
policy
and
development
committee
chair,
the
committee
kam
Gordon
and
I'm
joined
today
by
councilmember
Reich
Schrader
vice
chair,
Allison,
bender
and
Goodman.
We
have
three
items
on
our
agenda
today
and
we're
gonna.
Take
the
second
item.
First,
because
it's
a
consent
item
and
then
we
have
a
public
hearing
on
a
land
sale
that
I
expect
won't
take
very
long
and
then
a
discussion
item
on
our
stable
homes,
table
schools
program.
A
So
first
on
the
consent,
item
and
I'm
happy
to
pull
this
off.
If
any
committee
members
have
questions,
but
this
is
authorizing
the
Minnesota
Housing
Finance
Agency
lender
participation,
agreement
for
Minnesota
Housing
home
improvement,
loan
programs.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
on
that
item?
I
will
move
that
then,
and
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
all
right,
I
need
a
post
say
no,
and
that
motion
carries
then
now
we'll
move
on
to
our
first
item,
which
is
the
land
sale.
A
B
The
small
lot
of
above
3000
square
feet
was
not
needed
for
van
white
project
and
has
sat
vacant
I
work
in
the
business
development
section
of
cpad
and
come
to
you
because
I
manage
this
property
as
part
of
a
portfolio
of
largely
commercial
properties
in
North.
Minneapolis
staff
is
recommending
sale
of
this
lot
as
a
side
yard.
The
owner
of
several
adjacent
residential
properties,
dan
Ofsted,
all
wants
to
acquire
the
law
to
make
an
existing
duplex
that
he
owns
compliant
with
city
regulations
related
to
parcel
size.
B
Staff
recommends
the
sale
of
230
to
Humboldt,
to
Daniel
laughs
at
all
for
its
appraised
value
of
$1,200,
subject
to
conditions
staff
evaluated
the
purchaser
based
on
the
side
yard
program
criteria,
including
verification
that
the
purchasers
property
taxes
are
current
and
that
the
purchasers
property
maintenance
complies
with
the
building
code
and
zoning
ordinance
to
evaluate
responsibility.
Staff
consulted
with
the
Department
of
reg
Services
staff
to
verify
the
status
of
vacant
buildings,
rental
properties
and
any
other
properties
owned
by
the
proposed
purchaser
within
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
There
were
no
concerns.
B
The
purchaser
will
combine
the
unbuildable
vacant
land
with
their
adjacent
parcel
at
236
Humboldt,
which
is
approximately
three
thousand
22
square
feet
for
a
combined
parcel,
approximately
six
thousand
138
square
feet.
Notification
was
provided
to
the
Harrison
Neighborhood
Association
on
December
19th
2018
longer
term
Danoff.
Sudol
would
like
to
work
with
to
develop
an
apartment
building
on
a
large
assembled
parcel
that
includes
several
of
his
contiguous
properties.
He's
agreed
to
place
a
restrictive
covenant
on
the
232
Humboldt
property,
prohibiting
construction
of
a
single-family
house,
nor
using
it
as
a
parking
lot.
B
C
B
C
A
Don't
see
any
other
questions
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
report.
I
will
now
open
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
anybody
here?
Who
wishes
to
speak
on
this
matter?
You're
welcome
to
address
this.
If
you'd
like
to
seeing
no
one,
then
I'll
move
this
forward,
Oh
councilmember
Goodman
did
you
have
another
okay
I'll
move
this
forward
for
approval
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
say
no.
A
That
motion
carries
and
now
we'll
move
on
to
our
third
item,
which
is
a
report
and
update
our
stable
homes
and
stable
schools
program
and
we're
gonna
have
miss
Topanga,
give
that
report
and
there's
a
few
items
under
this
we're
receiving
and
filing
the
report.
We're
approving
a
work
plan
tomorrow
so
that
I'm
not
trying
to
predict
the
future,
but
we
will
be
considering
these
things
and
considering
authorizing
a
funding
agreement
with
Minneapolis
public
housing.
Welcome.
D
Thank
You
chair
Gordon
committee
members,
I'm
Katie,
topanga's,
housing
policy
coordinator
at
CPD,
and
here
today,
with
several
of
the
partners
with
for
the
stable
home,
stable
Schools
program,
to
give
you
an
update,
which
is
in
response
to
a
staff
direction
that
was
part
of
the
budget
approved
in
December.
So
just
as
a
reminder,
the
stable
home
staple
schools
programs,
a
new
initiative
that
was
approved
in
the
2019
budget.
D
It's
a
partnership
with
a
number
of
organizations,
some
of
which
you'll
hear
from
today
through
the
program,
families
with
children
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
will
be
eligible
to
receive
rental
assistance,
which
is
funded
together
between
the
city
and
which
and
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
We
expect
to
support
up
to
320
families
over
three
years,
with
the
initiative
and
to
be
eligible,
families
must
have
a
children,
have
children
attending
one
of
15.
Mps
schools
and
MPs
will
share
more
about
that
in
a
moment.
The
program
is
really
a
unique
partnership
among
these
partners.
D
D
And
there
are
a
number
of
partners
that
are
engaged
in
this
program
beyond
the
city.
There's
many
apples,
public
housing
authority
and
you'll
hear
for
them
from
them
shortly:
Minneapolis
Public,
Schools,
Hennepin,
County,
Health
and
Human
Services,
who
will
also
be
presenting
here
today
and
then
the
Poulet
Family
Foundation
has
committed
$500,000
to
this
effort,
which
will
be
used
to
fund
homelessness
prevention
services.
D
And
there
is
someone
from
pole
ed
here
today
and
then
we
are
also
in
discussions
with
the
University
of
Minnesota
and
the
evaluation
component
of
this
program
and
I'll
share
a
little
bit
more
about
that
toward
the
end
and
then
finally,
we've
also
been
talking
with
the
Minnesota
multi
Housing
Association,
and
if
you
have
their
members,
our
representatives
are
here
today
and
talking
about
partnering
with
their
members
to
set
aside
units
for
families
who
will
be
participating
in
this
program.
So
know,
that's
really
a
critical
part.
D
E
Welcome
thank
you
for
being
here
making
mr.
chair
committee
members
again.
My
name
is
Ryan's
track
with
Minneapolis
Public
Schools.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
briefly
share
some
background
in
context.
I
know
some
of
this
information
you've
heard
before,
as
well
as
MPS's
role
in
stable
home,
stable
schools.
As
many
of
you
are
aware,
housing,
instability
and
homelessness
has
been
a
persistent
negative
influence
on
public
education
in
Minneapolis
for
decades.
E
While
recent
progress
has
been
made
still
more
than
3,000
MPs
enrolled
students
plus
thousands
more
preschool
age,
children
experience
homelessness
in
our
city
every
year.
A
long-standing
research
partnership
with
the
University
of
Minnesota
has
revealed
that
even
a
single
episode
of
homelessness
can
substantially
impact
a
student's
learning
for
years,
and
while
we
continue
to
offer
every
service
we
can
as
a
school
district
for
our
students
and
Families,
we
simply
lack
the
ability
to
address
the
underlying
core
issue
of
housing.
Instability
on
our
own.
E
In
addition
of
the
impact,
homelessness
has
an
individual
students,
its
prevalence
within
a
school,
also
matters.
A
greater
level
of
student
homelessness
is
linked
to
higher
student
classroom
and
school
turnover
and
mobility.
It
was
through
this
lens.
The
15
participating
schools
were
chosen.
These
schools
shown
on
the
slide
had
the
highest
concentrations
of
homelessness,
some
in
Access
of
20
percent
during
the
course
of
the
2016-17
school
year
and
MPs
would
again
like
to
thank
the
mayor
and
the
council
for
including
this
investment
in
your
budget.
F
Welcome
thank
you
good
afternoon,
chair
Gordon
councilmembers.
My
name
is
Kyle
Hanson
and
the
director
of
the
HCV
section
8
program
for
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
like
to
take
just
a
few
moments
to
talk
about
the
program
flow
and
the
way
we
envision
this
program
working.
You
have
been
provided
already
with
a
copy
of
our
draft
manual
for
the
program
we've
been
working
together
as
a
group
over
the
last
several
months
to
develop
the
policies
and
procedures
that
we
will
follow.
F
We
modeled
the
program
very
closely
after
a
very
successful
program
that
the
Tacoma
Housing
Authority
in
Washington,
ran
on
a
smaller
scale,
in
partnership
with
the
City
of
Tacoma.
So
the
manual
is
modeled
after
that
mph
a
zero
Lin.
The
process
is
really
to
work
with
the
families
once
they
have
been
identified
by
the
school
and
referred
over
by
the
school
social
worker.
F
F
That
entity
will
then
work
with
the
families
to
identify
housing,
housing,
navigation
and
search.
They
will
also
help
to
address
any
barriers
that
the
families
may
have
to
housing.
If
those
are
income
related,
they
will
search
for
assistance.
If
they
are
employment
related,
they
will
help
link
to
education
and
job
training
for
longer
term
success.
They
will
also
work
on
UD,
expungement
or
any
other
type
of
barriers
that
the
family
may
be
facing
to
get
them
into
housing.
F
We
have
had
great
interest
from
property
owners
in
this
program
because
of
the
focus
on
children
and
our
representatives
from
the
multi
Housing
Association
are
here
today
as
well,
and
they
have
shown
interest
in
working
with
us.
They
have
several
owners
who
have
stepped
forward
and
said
they
would
love
to
participate
in
the
program,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
expanding
housing
options
for
low-income
folks
within
the
city
and
are
hopeful
that
some
new
units
will
be
brought
to
the
table
that
may
not
be
currently
available
to
families.
F
I
want
to
stress
also
how
unique
this
program
is
to
bring
all
of
these
entities
together
and
to
work
out
agreements
in
a
relatively
quick
timeframe,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
interest
throughout
the
country.
The
Coalition
for
large
public
housing
authorities
has
already
expressed
interest
and
is
watching
the
program
we
have
received
several
phone
calls
from
other
cities
wanting
to
know
about
the
process,
and
so
people
are
going
to
be
watching
and
we
think
that
it
is
a
model
that
can
be
replicated
in
other
places.
F
F
They
are
intensive
services
at
the
beginning
and
meant
to
really
help
in
a
very
tight
housing
market,
help
locate
and
stabilize
that
family
in
what
is
a
very
tough
market
to
find
housing
in
and
then
the
job
isn't
done
once
the
housing
is
found
and
located
for
the
family.
We
follow
the
families
and
we'll
be
checking
up
with
them,
making
sure
that
things
are
going
okay
and
identifying
ways
for
future
growth
and
upward
mobility
for
the
families.
A
F
F
Once
the
family
is
housed
helping
to
identify
what
other
needs,
the
family
has,
whether
that's
educational
links
for
the
adults
in
the
family,
whether
that's
after-school
programming
or
care
of
the
children.
It's
really
meant
to
be
a
navigator
type
of
service,
where
they're
linked
in
with
Hennepin
County's
systems,
to
make
sure
that
the
people
are
receiving
benefits
that
they
are
that
are
available
to
them
and
really
meant
to
follow
the
family
through.
F
So
it's
over
and
above
support
for
the
family,
and
we
feel
that
that's
one
of
the
unique
designs
around
this
that
encourages
property
owners
to
step
forward
with
units
because
they
know
that
they'll
be
the
additional
supports
there
for
the
family,
but
also
to
really
follow
that
family.
Through
this
period
of
time.
C
G
C
So
we
can
get
a
sense
of
it
because
I
mean,
if
you're
sitting
up
here,
you're
thinking
to
yourself.
Well,
this
is
like
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
for
100
families.
That's
four
hundred
thousand
per
family.
What
could
they
possibly
be
spending
the
money
on
and
it
sounds
like
it's
not.
It's
really
staff
intensive,
it's
not
as
much
housing
support.
So
can
you
go
through
if
there's
a
family
in
crisis
right
now
we
don't
ignore
them.
So
what
happens
right.
F
C
C
A
H
I
Chair
Gordon
and
committee
members,
I,
haven't
had
a
chance
to
introduce
myself
but
night.
My
name
is
KC
Fleischman
and
I
work
with
Hennepin
County's
housing
stability
area,
I
primarily
do
planning
for
youth
and
families
at
risk
of
her
currently
experiencing
homelessness
in
Hennepin
County
appreciate
the
questions
in
the
context
and
I'll
do
my
best
to
give
a
straightforward
answer.
I
So
what
I
will
say
in
regard
to
the
economic
assistance
and
the
economic
general
assistance,
which
is
EA
or
EGA,
that
is
available
for
families
and
single
adults
that
are
experiencing
homelessness
and
are
facing
other
barriers?
It
is
generally
speaking
in
one-time
or
very
short
term
assistance
for
those
families
and
single
adults,
so
not
similar
to
the
funding
that
would
be
used
for
these
same
families,
which
is
much
more
ongoing
and
long
term.
In
addition
to
the
underspending
of
both
of
those
funds.
I
Historically,
my
understanding
is
that
economic
assistance
has,
for
the
past
few
years
has
been
drawn
down
on
a
regular
basis
in
regard
to
economic,
general
assistance,
which
is
actually
for
single
adults.
My
understanding
is
that
it
has
gone
unspent,
but
there
have
been
a
lot
of
changes
that
have
been
made
that
have
rectified
this
over
the
past
two
years,
specifically
where
we
are
no
longer
leaving
money
on
the
table
essentially
and
either
of
those
buckets
they
are
being
spent
to
serve
and
best
serve
single
adults
and
families
that
are
in
need.
I
I
Generally
speaking
and
David,
Hewitt
I
would
like
to
invite
up
if
he
has
something
to
add
from
Hennepin.
County
is
one
month
of
rent,
and/or
security,
deposit
so
very
short
term,
whereas
we're
looking
at
rental
assistance
for
up
to
three
years
for
some
of
these
families,
so
that
just
looks
very
different.
I
No
I
think
that
if
a
family
would
be
eligible
for
those
funds,
they
would
be
able
to
draw
down
and
use
them.
As
you
know,
there's
different,
there's
very
specific
eligibility
that
a
family
needs
to
meet
or
a
single
adult
to
be
able
to
draw
down
those
funds
or
receive
them,
and
so
it
all
depend
upon
the
circumstances
and
living
situation
of
the
family
and
what
their
current
needs
and
barriers
are
and
if
they
fit
those
eligibility
requirements.
I
I
How
to
paint'
County
does
currently
invest
approximately
seven
million
dollars
in
prevention
and
housing,
resources
for
homeless
families
in
Hennepin
County,
in
addition
to
a
little
over
five
million
that
we
invest
in
our
Hennepin
County
Family
Shelter
system,
and
so
collectively
I
mean
there
is
a
large
percentage
in
amount
going
in
to
serve
homeless
families.
In
addition
to
this,
you
know,
I
think
our
real
from
Hennepin
County's
perspective
it's
to
ensure
that
these
families
have
access
to
those
resources
and
that
we're
coordinating
things
whenever
possible
to
best
serve
those
families.
Yes,.
I
C
A
problem
I
mean
we're
giving
you
nine
million
dollars
over
three
years
and
we're
like
half
your
size,
and
so
this
is
I
just
want
people
understand
the
scope
of
the
amount
of
money
going
into.
This
is
huge
from
the
city,
and
the
county
is
double
our
size,
if
not
more
and
we're
putting
in
more
basically
for
capita
than
you
guys
spend
on
the
whole
shelter
system
per
year.
I
do.
A
I
I
C
Chair,
yes,
mr.
huff,
maybe
I
may
be
someone
higher
up
can
answer
this
question.
Why
is
the
city
involved
in
this
at
all?
If
the
only
differential
is
that
they're
kids
in
our
public
school
system?
This
is
what
the
county
does:
families
who
are
experiencing
homelessness,
who
live
in
Hennepin
County.
So
why
is
the
city
even
putting
in
this
money?
C
C
I
Councilmember
Goodman
I
think
that
my
response
is
that
this
is
needs
to
be
a
true
partnership
to
address
this
problem.
This
has
we
have
to
come
at
this
from
city,
county
schools
as
well
as
public
housing
authority
and
the
real
big
goal,
in
my
opinion,
is
we
do
have
a
lot
of
different
services
that
are
available
to
these
families
and
we
need
to
be
very
clear
in
connecting
families
to
the
Hennepin
County
resources
that
currently
exist
and
aren't
able
to
serve
them,
and
that
is
our
primary
role.
C
I
Summer,
come
in
I
think
that's
a
very
good
point,
I
think
if
we
did
like
a
total
budget
that
showed
how
much
money
is
being
invested
to
serve
families
experiencing
homelessness
in
Hennepin
County
had
a
pink
pony
would
absolutely
have
a
line
item
in
that
and
that
budget
may
look
very
different.
This
is
very
specific
to
this
target
population
in
these
dollars.
So.
C
It's
kind
of
like
the
county
saying
this
population
only
the
city
should
deal
with
that
because
we're
doing
other
things.
But
that
is
your
mission.
It
would
be
like
us
asking
you
to
police
Minneapolis,
but
I'm.
Just
wondering
I
would
love
to
see
the
larger
budget,
but
I
mean
you
handed
us
a
budget
and
were
the
only
ones
paying
for
it
other
than
pohlad
and
housing.
So
if
the
county
was
a
partner,
wouldn't
you
have
money
line
items
in
this
budget,
perhaps.
A
It'll
be
something
we
get
in
the
evaluation
as
well,
when
we
find
out
how
many
of
the
families
actually
took
advantage
of
some
of
the
county
resources,
even
the
ones.
What
we
heard
about
today
and
I
certainly
understand
this
debate
and
I.
Think
I
agree
with
my
colleague
to
my
left
there
that
it
would
be
great
if
the
county
would
step
up
and
participate
in
this,
maybe
we'll
prove
this
pilot
works
so
well.
You'll.
A
Take
it
over
I'll,
just
note
that
the
county
didn't
actually
come
up
with
this
idea
and
wasn't
asking
the
city
to
do
this.
We're
responding
to
a
proposal
from
the
mayor
that
went
through
our
budget
process,
but
and
and
I
would
note
that
chances
are
I.
I,
don't
have
a
quote
right
here,
but
I
think
in
our
Charter.
A
It
probably
mentions
that
our
one
of
our
main
goals
is
to
provide
for
the
welfare
of
the
residents
of
our
city,
and
these
children
and
their
parents
are
certainly
residents
of
the
city
and
and
so
I
think
we
share
in
missions
of
our
organizations
to
play
a
role
in
doing
this
kind
of
thing.
I
have
a
councilmember
Ellison.
Has
a
question
yeah
so
go
ahead.
A
J
It's
my
understanding
that-
and
this
came
up
during
the
during
our
briefing
that
this
is
a
program
or
a
similar
program,
like
has
been
attempted
in
the
past
and
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
little
bit
more
information
if
anybody's
got
some
institutional
knowledge
on
that.
But
the
overview
is
that
this
has
been
a
program
that
it
was
tried
that
was
attempted
in
the
past
and
ran
out
of
money
right
and
it
wasn't
continued.
We've
got
three
years
on
the
table
with
this
program.
J
You
know:
Ward
five
has
the
most
schools
in
this
program
and
I
guess.
My
fear
is
that
we
are
going
to
that.
We
could
create
a
program
that
that
that
constituents
come
to
rely
on
that
that
it's
valuable
to
the
people
who
participate
and
then
in
three
years
we're
pulling
the
rug
out
from
under
people
and
is
there
somewhere
where
ninety
million
dollars
could
go
deeper
right.
J
That
could
go
further
to
securing
the
stability
of
my
constituents
that
sort
of
like
a
question
right
and
so
anyway,
I
just
wanted
to
maybe
get
a
little
bit
of.
If
anybody
has
any
any
institutional
knowledge
on
the
program
that
was
tried
prior,
give
us
an
overview
of
that,
and
and
why
and
and
what
are
the
plans
to
make
sure
that
this
program
doesn't
go
the
way
of
that
program?
Great.
F
Chair
Gordon,
I,
council
member
Ellison,
so
the
program
I
believe
you're
referring
to
was
called
it's
all
about
the
kids
and
the
it's
all
about.
The
kids
program
was
a
partnership
between
the
city
of
Minneapolis
and
the
public
housing
authority.
It
did
provide
very
similar,
direct
rental
assistance.
The
scale
was
much
smaller,
yeah
I
believe
it
was
in
the
ten
to
fifteen
family
range.
F
It
was
before
my
time
at
the
Housing
Authority,
but
do
you
know
what
years
and
I
don't
but
I
could
thank
you
so,
and
my
understanding
is
that
the
city
decided
that
it
was
not
going
to
fund
the
program
any
longer
and
the
service
partners
believed
we
were
working
with
lutheran
Social
Services
at
that
time.
We're
also
unable
to
continue
what
I
feel
is
different
about
this
program.
Number
one
is,
that
is
the
scale
and
the
ability
that
we
have
to
study
the
results
so
working
with
the
University
of
Minnesota
and
the
researchers.
F
We're
gonna
have
some
pretty
good
statistics
on
what
how
our
families
have
been
served
by
this
and
if
the
pilot
works
and
shows
the
success
that
we
think
it
will.
Our
hope
is
that
it
will
attract
other
philanthropic
support.
We
already
have
pull
that
Family
Foundation
at
the
table,
and
we
are
hopeful
that
other
entities
will
be
attracted
to
this
and
say
that
they
could
take
over
part
of
the
part
of
the
city's
responsibility
for
that
or
part
of
the
other
supports.
So
we're
going
to
be
looking
for
other
dollars.
F
So
they
have
really
helped
us
in
developing
the
program
parameters,
setting
up
the
guidelines
for
the
program
and
really
been
there
to
support
us
through
developing
the
RFP
for
services.
The
the
service
provider
will
also
have
access
and
direct
link
into
the
Hennepin
County
systems,
so
they
will
be
able
to
navigate
what
benefits
the
family
is
able
to
apply
for
what
is
a
good
fit
for
the
families
and
what
other
poor
Hennepin
County
offers
that
they
can
tap
into.
F
So
really,
this
navigator
is
used
as
a
way
to
connect
them
with
more
permanent
Hennepin
County
supports
that
is
in
an
over
and
above
manner,
but
you
had
a
just
a
couple.
Questions
on
the
program
flow,
so
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
answered
those
the
the
intake
happens
right
here
and
at
the
mPHA
we
identify
the
housing
for
the
family,
get
them
through
that
lease
process
and
then
set
them
up
with
the
supportive
services.
So
the
dollars
will
flow
through
our
entity.
F
We
have
already
that
capacity
to
pay
landlords
that
goes
direct
deposit
into
their
bank
accounts
and
then
for
the
pohlad
funds.
If
those
families
are
identified
and
sent
to
us,
we
will
work
on
processing
payment
to
wherever
the
funds
may
need
to
go
for
the
poll
that
money
for
the
prevention
piece.
Thank.
K
K
One
of
the
things
is
that,
as
a
former
teacher
and
working
in
public
schools,
I
have
reached
out
to
the
mayor
saying
that
I
would
like
to
work
on
work
on
this,
but
being
part
of
the
team,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
programmatically
that
this
is
a
good
program
and
I'm
impressed
with
the
way
that
has
been
put
together
and
developed.
I've
done
the
research
before
even
it's.
K
That
was
the
consistent
outcomes
of
this
program
is
that
there
were
some
parents
that
were
making
a
zero
dollars
per
month
income
and
then,
by
the
end
they
were
making
like
seventeen
like
there
were
significant
growth
in
in
family
monthly
income.
So
that
was
something
that
kind
of
surprised
me
because
I
had
assumed.
It
would
be
very
much
so
focused
on
the
child's
academic
performance
and
health.
But
what
really
was
another
positive
impact
was
the
amount
of
income
not
just
cuz.
They
were
saving
money
on
Brent,
but
because
they
were
actually
generating
more
money.
K
So
I
thought
that
was
a
really
great
outcome.
The
kids
behaviors
attendance
performance
in
school,
they
all
improved.
Of
course
it's
not
like
you
know,
because
it
takes
time,
but
there
were
some
really
positive
results
that
came
out
of
the
takoma
pilot.
That
happened.
So
I
am
very
also
interested
in
continuing
conversations
about
jurisdictional
responsibilities,
as
well
as
the
long
term,
programmatic
sustainability,
but
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
the
merits
of
the
program
itself.
K
C
You
and
thanks
for
being
here
today
to
be
clear,
there's
no
concern
about
the
program,
design
or
the
way
it's
been
put
together
in
any
way,
shape
or
form
and
there's
clearly
no
concern
about
helping
homeless
families
and
children
stay
in
school.
This
is
a
question
of
who
should
be
doing
this
work,
and
should
the
city
be
in
the
business
of
providing
ongoing
rental
assistance,
because
what
the
councilmember
Ellison's
summed
it
up.
C
C
We
build
permanent,
supportive
and
affordable
housing,
and
every
penny
that
goes
into
this
does
not
provide
money
for
that
purpose
and
that's
our
wheelhouse
and
it's
one
thing
if
the
federal
government
is
not
doing
what
they're
doing,
but
it's
almost
like
the
county's
not
doing
what
they
should
be
doing
and
public
housing
should
be
stepping
up
and
providing
additional
rental
assistance
to
this
population.
So,
yes,
of
course,
you
guys
are
all
half
because
we're
doing
what
we're
funding
you
guys
should
be
funding
me,
and
that
is
my
concern.
We'll
never
get
out
of
it.
C
We
got
to
in
some
ways
not
say
we're
going
to
be
the
be-all
end-all
for
every
program
that
every
other
level
of
unit
government
doesn't
want
to
solve,
and
so
far
our
pattern
has
been
yep,
we'll
jump
into
this
space
and
jumping
into
the
space
means
less
money
for
the
things
that
are
in
our
space.
That's
what
this
committee
is
about
is
developing
partnering
with
those
who
build
and
maintain
supportive
and
affordable
housing
and
every
penny
they
don't
put
into
that
allows
other
units
of
government
not
to
and
takes
away
from
our
mission.
C
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
whether
or
not
this
is
important.
I
of
course,
agree.
This
is
important.
I'm,
somewhat
surprised
to
hear
that
something
like
this
doesn't
happen
now,
although
I
bet
it
does
I've
at
the
schools,
these
poor
people
in
the
schools
are
like
scrambling
they're
scrambling
to
keep
up
their
population
to
keep
so
I,
don't
need
to
get
into
that.
I
feel
horrible.
For
the
people
at
the
school
system,
but
this
homelessness
is
the
county's
thing
and
I'm
not
sure.
J
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
say
one
of
the
concerns
that
I
also
have
about
this
program.
Is
you
know
if,
if
these
families
were
going
to
be
living
in
in
mPHA
in
public
housing,
I
think
that
that
would
sort
of
ease
some
concerns?
If
this
was
gonna
go?
If
there
was
sort
of
a
mix
of
you
know,
transitioning
folks
into
like
I,
don't
know
land
trust
home
or
something
like
that.
I
feel
like
that
would
ease
some
of
my
concerns.
J
It
does
bother
me
a
little
bit
that
we've
got
I
mean
that
the
great
that
a
large
sum
of
this
nine
million
dollars
of
public
money
is
gonna
go
into
is
gonna,
go
towards
enriching.
You
know
private
landlords
which
nothing
wrong
private
landlords,
but
you
know,
and
and
they're
a
big
part
of
how
we
sustain
affordable
housing.
But
in
this
program
it
feels
like
we
are.
We
already
put
a
significant
amount
of
public
dollars
towards
subsidy
to
that
part
to
that
purpose,
and
that
kind
of
thing.
J
But
then
they
say
you
know:
okay,
we're
gonna
fight
on
tenant
protections,
but
then
we're
gonna
show
up
and
say:
oh
great,
we'll
take
you
know
we'll
take
this
money
from
from
from
these
from
these.
From
from
you
all
who
are
helping
these
struggling
families
that
has
all
the
way
said,
sit
well
and
it
doesn't
inspire
a
lot
of
confidence.
J
So
again,
principally
I
think
that
the
program
is
really
important,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
those
sort
of
that
my
you
know
that
my
apprehensions
are
sort
of
on
the
record
and
that
and
then
hopefully
you
guys
are
taking
and
really
wrestling
with
these
issues
as
well
when
it
comes
to
this
program
and
taking
that
seriously.
So
thank
you
at.
A
H
H
Maybe
dessert
cap
off
a
lot
of
the
comments.
We've
heard
I
mean
method,
others
can't
be
too,
but
you
know
I
think.
A
lot
of
this
would
potentially
be
alleviated
through
more
involvement
from
council
members,
particularly
if
there's
an
interest
in
an
in
project
sustainability,
as
this
is
the
body
that
approves
the
annual
budget.
H
I
do
think,
there's
a
really
extreme
need
for
us
to
have
a
better
picture
of
the
overall
spending
on
housing
and
homelessness
and
how
city
funds
are
leveraging
those
from
the
county
and
state
so
that
we're
not
always
reacting
to
a
particular
project
that,
of
course,
we
all
support
and
care
about
homeless
children
or
people
who
are
living
in
tents
at
the
wall
of
Forgotten
Natives
and
we're
reacting
to
some
sort
of
emergency.
All
the
time
here,
without
having
a
bigger
picture
of
how
City
funds
are
being
leveraged
in
an
effective
way
with
our
partners.
H
In
a
context
where
I
mean
we
are
looking
at
seven,
eight
nine
percent
levied
increases
over
the
coming
years
just
to
support
our
base.
That
comes
from
our
property
taxes,
which
translates
into
rising
housing
costs
for
costs
burdened
households.
In
our
city,
so
when
we
talk
about
our
concerns
about
the
cost
of
something
it's
because
we
are
hearing
from
our
constituents
that
they
that
housing
costs
are
their
number-one
concern,
and
this
translates
directly
into
property
taxes
that
come
in
the
mail
and
is
a
bill
that
increases
people's
property
taxes.
H
H
Transit
is
another
great
example:
there's
a
hundred
million
dollar
sales
tax
revenue
collected
annually,
very
little
of
which
is
reinvested
into
the
city
into
our
communities
of
color
and
our
cost
burdened
communities
where
our
constituents
are
depending
on
transit.
You
know
we
have
beautiful
heated
stations
bringing
suburban
commuters
into
downtown,
while
our
constituents
stand
in
the
rain
and
snow.
So
the
the
overall
need
here
and
I
think
the
frustration
from
council
members
about
funding
is
in
a
bigger
context
that,
of
course,
you
know,
it's
not
fair
to
ask
any
one.
A
L
I
want
to
go
off
that
same
note.
How
the
council
president
talked
about
the
bigger
picture
and
I
really
would
raise
it
a
different
way
like
what
are
our
goals?
I
think
I
share
the
frustration
just
because
we
seem
to
be
our
programs
all
seem
to
put
out
fires
and
not
have
an
end
goal
of
we're
going
to
create
this
much
housing
at
this
spectrum
or
and
be
able
to
house
this
many
people.
L
L
I,
don't
think
the
County
or
other
people
do.
If
we
are
serious
about
giving
someone
a
safe,
stable,
affordable
and
accessible
place
to
live.
One
thing
I
share
the
concern
of
customer
Ellison,
though
I
do
want
to
see
well.
I
do
want
more
money
being
spent
on
housing,
I'm
very
critical
about
how
it's
spent
and
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
going
deeper.
We're
asking
the
tough
questions
about
wood
going
deeper
three
years:
we're
gonna
help,
so
many
kids,
but
I
know
my
kids
are
going
to
school
for
more
than
three
years.
L
I
hope
and
I
think
that
other
parents
share
that.
So
why
not
do
half
of
that
as
many
and
have
it
for
six
years
and
that's
just
an
example
of
we
right
now.
We
have,
as
far
as
I
know
no
goals
for
creating
a
certain
amount
of
housing
in
this
city,
and
that
leads
us
to
put
it
to
have
this
approach.
Where
we
put
out
fires,
we
help
those
that
we
that
come
up
where
the
wall
forgotten
a
dose,
becomes
the
most
important
thing
well.
L
Over
800
people
are
on
the
housing
list,
so
it's
we
I
think
in
the
interest
of
fairness
and
the
interest
of
being
transparent,
we
need
to
have
a
better
approach
and
I
would
hope
that
we
would
do
that.
I
know
that
that's
asking
a
lot
of
staff
that
that's
very
different
than
what
we
do
now.
So
what
I'm,
hoping
through
this
project,
as
we
start
to
go
in
that
direction,
to
start
to
say,
here's
how
we're
going
to
have
a
base?
A
D
Thank
you,
and
maybe
just
briefly
I'm,
certainly
we'd,
be
happy
to
you
know,
help
provide
more
information
on
the
broader
picture
of
the
budget
context,
and
certainly
this
program
is
one
tool
of
many
that
the
city
is
using
to
try
to
meet
a
wide
range
of
housing
needs,
and
it
really
is
something
that
gets
at
the
lowest
income.
Households
who
who
currently
aren't
being
served
by
this
system.
D
So
I'm
happy
to
you,
know,
work
with
all
of
you
to
get
a
better
picture
of
those
things
and
then
also
just
want
to
acknowledge
on
the
homelessness
response.
Certainly
the
city
and
county
do
work
together
and
are
trying
to
have
better
communication,
but
we
help
the
city
helps
to
fund
the
county
office
to
end
homelessness
and
has
some
funding,
for
example,
federal
USG
funds
that
we
put
toward
homelessness.
So
certainly
that's
something
to
the
council
president's
comments
that
we
could
help
provide
a
better
picture
of
for
the
committee.
D
We
already
covered
the
supportive
services
pretty
well,
so
we're
just
going
to
to
move
on
to
the
last
few
slides
here
and
also
covered
this
a
bit.
But
here
is
the
budget
specific
for
this.
This
program
there's
been
one
year
of
funds
approved
by
the
council
and
and
Minneapolis
public
housing.
It
is
envisioned
as
a
three-year
pilot.
The
pole
add
funds
are
committed
for
two
years
and,
as
mPHA
mentioned,
they
are
paying
for
forty
percent
of
the
rental
assistance
and
in
the
cities.
Sixty
percent,
along
with
some
other
pieces
of
the
program,
I
suspect.
A
C
You
mr.
chair,
along
the
same
lines,
most
budgets
have
sources
and
uses
not
just
sources.
So
I'd
like
wondering
why
there
isn't
a
list
of
uses
here,
so
we
have
a
sense
of
what
the
money
is
being
spent
on
you're.
Doing
a
presentation
to
us.
You'd
think
that
where
the
money
was
going
to
be
spent
would
be
an
integral
part
of
it.
So
why
is
it
not
part
of
the
budget.
D
Thank
you
and
we
are
still
even
developing
the
program
at
this
point,
so
it's
not
all
set
in
stone
at
this
point,
the
60,
the
vision
for
the
for
the
rental
assistance
is
that
40%
of
the
funds
come
from
and
PHA
and
60%
from
the
city
and
then
the
other
components
in
terms
of
the
services
and
evaluation
are
still
being
developed,
and
we
can
certainly
follow
up
with
that
information.
Once
it's
thank
you
that,
and
so
this
has
come
up
a
few
times
just
wanted
to
share
a
little
bit
more
about
the
evaluation.
D
We
are
excited
because
there
an
evaluation
ongoing
with
several
researchers
from
the
University
of
Minnesota.
They
are
evaluating
a
program
at
the
state
level
called
home.
Work
starts
with
home,
which
is
state-funded
rental
assistance,
a
similar
purpose
for
providing
rental
assistance
for
families
with
school-aged
kids.
D
So
they've
already
done
a
lot
of
work
to
get
a
robust
evaluation
system
in
place
and
we
are
going
to
be
we're
in
discussions
with
them
to
be
able
to
just
plug
right
into
that
and
get
really
a
strong
evaluation
of
this
program,
the
educational
outcomes
of
the
families
and
and
what
interventions
work
well,
and
so
we
think
that's
a
unique
opportunity.
With
this
pilot.
D
We
will
certainly
be
measuring
things
along
the
way
in
terms
of
number
of
families,
served
their
housing
status
which
schools
they
attend
and
that
information
will
be
ready
readily
available
along
the
way,
with
the
more
robust
evaluation
in
terms
of
educational
outcomes
that
data
won't
be
available
just
because
until
a
likely
fall
of
2020
just
because
it
takes
some
time
to
get
that
educational
outcome
information.
But
we
think
it's
an
exciting
opportunity
to
be
part
of
this.
This
ongoing
evaluation.
D
So
with
that
we'll
just
conclude
with
next
steps.
So
our
next
steps,
pending
approval
by
the
council,
are
to
enter
into
a
funding
agreement
with
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
to
be
able
to
implement
the
program.
I
did
just
want
to
note
that
in
the
RCA
it
says
we
will
reimburse
mPHA
for
expenses.
We
are
still
in
discussions
along
with
finance
about
whether
that
would
be
an
upfront
payment
or
reimbursement,
so
just
wanted
to
make
a
note
that
it
may
come
in
that
form.
D
Part
of
your
materials
were
a
work
plan
and
that's
really
just
a
sort
of
a
calendar
outline
of
the
different
activities
that
will
be
taking
place
with
all
the
components
of
this
program
over
the
course
of
the
year,
really
hoping
to
get
the
program
up
and
running
and
start
getting
families
identified
by
March
2.
That
way,
we
can
get
some
families
into
the
program
prior
to
the
end
of
the
school
year
because
it
certainly
it'll
be
obviously
harder
to
identify
families
once
the
school
year.
D
It's
done
and
then
you
know
continue
working
with
families
over
the
summer
and
then
identify
new
families.
Once
the
school
year
begins
and
as
Kyle
mentioned,
there
will
be
an
RFP
issued
to
secure
a
service
provider
and
then
there
will
just
be
continued
efforts
to
engage
landlords
to
participate
in
the
program
and
we'd
certainly
love
to
coordinate
with
council
offices
as
well
that
have
schools
in
their
wards
or
nearby.
D
D
They
I
believe
it
has
been,
and
the
goal
is
to
sort
of
capture
long
term
the
families
outcomes
there
is
both
a
quantitative
and
qualitative
component
to
the
evaluation.
So
there
will
be
some
of
that.
Just
you
know,
seeing
where
the
housing
situation
is
in
comes
educational
outcomes,
but
then
also
actually
interviewing
families
to
find
out
how
the
program
worked
for
them
and
what
things
helped
them
to
become
more
successful.
So
those
will
be
incorporated
because.
A
The
flowchart
process
kind
of
ended
with
housing
secured
and
the
housing
secured,
it
really
didn't
say
the
housing
secured,
relying
on
rental
assistance
forever
or
or
not,
and
I
think
that
up
here,
we're
hearing
actually
and
probably
for
all
of
us
and
for
the
families
they
would
actually
want
more
self-sufficient
housing.
You
know
independence
and
staple
housing
there
so
put
that
out
there
I
don't
see
any
other
questions.
Any
final
comments
on
this
councilmember
Allison
this.
J
J
I
want
to
voice
that
I
think
that
it
councilmember
Goodman
I
think
has
highlighted
some
of
the
you
know.
So
the
the
the
lack
of
robustness
when
it
comes
to
the
budget
that
we're
looking
at
here
and
and
I
think
that
I
would
I
would
want
to
see
that
a
little
bit
more
detailed
out
fleshed
out
before
I
felt
comfortable
taking
action
on
on
our
third
item
here.
A
Looks
like
looks
like
in
the
work
plan
that
the
final
financial
agreement
they're
hoping
to
have
done
by
in
February,
so
there
might
be
a
way
to
bring
that
back
to
us
B
beforehand
or
there
could
be
that
direction
for,
for
we
could
call
this
preliminary
authorization
or
something.
Let's
think
about
that.
Maybe
February
is
right
around
the
corner,
however,
so
maybe
we're
really
close.
Customer
didn't
Thanks.
C
D
A
C
A
H
H
Other
council
members
have
been
interested
in
doing
on
the
policy
side
to
help
prevent
evictions
and
displacement
from
housing,
citywide,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this,
given
just
all
of
the
feedback,
we've
heard
that
there
isn't
enough
staff
capacity
to
do
that
policy,
work
that
were
able
to
meet
the
you
know
this
commitment
with
our
existing
city
staff
and
how
will
that
affect
the
work
program
that
this
committee
approved?
That
I
know
we.
H
M
Since
you
asked
mr.
chair
council
president
bender
I'm
told
by
staff
that
the
schedule,
if
we're
going
to
participate
in
this
program,
you
make
it
better
to
followed
it
without
recommendation
and
see
if
we
can't
come
to
an
understanding
that
works
for
the
council
before
your
meeting
next
week.
If
it's
your
will
to
see
it
in
committee,
then
we
can
make
the
schedule
work
to
be
back
here
in
one
cycle
with
more
of
a
work
plan
and
a
more
complete
budget.
So
we
can
make
either
of
those
work.
M
A
L
That
that
was
my
question
to
see,
which
would
if
there
was
a
delay,
how
much
that
would
impact
my
feeling
is.
It
seems
critical
to
be
able
to
start
this
program
before
the
end
of
school
to
make
sure
that
students
and
families
are
taken
care
of
so
I'm
a
pretty
hesitant
to
push
it
further
than
staffs
advice.
I.
A
Appreciate
that
and
I
actually
know
that
our
hope
is
that
we'll
actually
have
a
I,
am
families
housed
by
March?
That's
our
goal
and
I
think
we
do
want
to
see
that
we
can
get
this
rolling
out
this
year
to
see
if
it's
successful
and
there
are
people
who
don't
have
housing.
Now,
council,
member
right,
Thank.
G
A
Appreciate
that
I
actually
think
there's
probably
no
problem
in
doing
number
one
which
is
receiving
and
filing
the
report
today.
So
let's
how
about?
If
I
move
that
we
receive
and
file
a
report,
and
then
we
will
move
the
other
two
items
forward
without
recommendation:
okay,
all
those
in
favor
favor
of
well.
Let's
do
it
this
way,
since
of
all
I
saw
that
had
no
names
and
I
think
the
clerk
contract.
A
This
that's
the
motion,
then,
to
approve
one
perceiving
and
filing
this
and
then
moving
forward
two
and
three
the
work
plan
and
authorizing
the
funding
agreement.
Without
recommendation
to
clear
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no.
That
motion
carries
and
although
it
doesn't
feel
like
we
finished
our
work
for
today,
I
think
that's
all
we're
going
to
accomplish
right
now
for
today
and
thanks
everybody
for
being
here.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
