Description
Minneapolis Housing Policy & Development Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
A
I'm
calling
to
order
this
meeting
of
the
housing
policy
and
Development
Committee.
This
is
our
regularly
scheduled
meeting
I'm
a
chair
of
the
committee
councilmember
kam
Gordon
I'm
joined
today
by
councilmembers
Ellison,
Reich,
Goodman
and
bender
a
quorum
of
the
committee.
So
we
can
conduct
our
business
today.
We
have
two
public
hearings:
no,
we
have
four
consent
items
on
the
agenda
and
two
discussion
items,
but
we
also
have
two
addendum
items
which
are
just
something
that
was
referred
from
another
committee
to
us
so
I'd
like
to
put
them
on
the
consent
agenda.
A
It's
just
to
refer
to
subject,
introductions
to
staff,
so
I'll
go
through
the
consent
agenda
and
then
we
can
open
up
the
first
public
hearing
after
a
little
presentation:
I'm
a
consent
agenda.
The
first
consent
item
is
extending
exclusive
development
rights
for
the
Snelling
Yards
development
project
at
3601,
East,
42nd
Street.
The
second
consent
item.
Fourth
on
our
agenda
is
authorizing
an
agreement
with
tower
site
innovation
district
to
implement
part
of
the
2013
metric
on
council
live
abilities.
A
Community
demonstration
account
grant,
and
the
next
consent
item
is
approving
the
Minneapolis
homes,
development
assistance
round
for
guidelines
and
also
approving
a
very
interesting
passive
housing
funding
pilot
project.
The
sixth
item
on
the
agenda.
The
next
consent
item
is
authorizing
a
request
for
proposals
for
our
housing
opportunities
for
person
with
AIDS
grants,
and
then
I'd
also
like
to
move
item
nine
and
ten,
which
is
just
referring
to
staff
the
subject,
introduction
of
our
sustainable
building
ordinance
and
referring
to
staff
the
affordable
housing
right
of
first
refusal
ordinance.
A
B
A
C
Mister
chair
members
of
the
committee
on
manpower
with
the
intergovernmental
relations
department,
and
we
have
before
us
today.
The
2019
consolidated
plan
action
plan,
which
is
a
cities
application
to
HUD
for
our
entitlement
funds,
the
entitlement
funds
are
the
Community
Development
Block,
Grant,
home
investment
partnerships,
housing
opportunities
for
persons
with
AIDS
and
the
emergency
solutions
grant.
C
We
will
be
requesting
a
public
hearing
today
and
then
asking
you
to
direct
staff.
To
summarize
any
comments
received
during
the
past
30
days,
and
this
hearing
to
be
included
and
planned
submitted
to
HUD,
will
ask
for
the
approval
of
the
action
plan
and
authorizing
staff
to
submit
the
plan
to
HUD.
We
are
looking
at
submitting
it
on
June
10th,
and
then
they
are
due
to
the
late
notice
from
HUD
of
what
our
entitlement
amounts
are
for
this
2019
program.
Here
you
acted
on
an
estimated
budget
in
December.
C
The
actual
allocations
are
different
from
what
you
adopted
and
as
a
council
in
December,
so
there's
some
to
staff
directions.
One
is
to
direct
staff
to
of
the
finance
department
to
apply
proportional
allocation
adjustments
to
the
programming
in
project
allocations
that
were
described
in
scheduled
for
the
2019
city's
budget
and
then
also
directing
staff
to
incur
any
necessary
pre-award
costs
for
programming
consistent
with
the
action
plan.
Our
program
year
starts
on
June
1st.
We
won't
be
able
to
submit
the
application
HUD
till
June
10th,
and
then
they
have
45
days
to
approve
it.
C
So
in
the
meantime,
we
will
have
programming
that
will
be
able
to
will
need
to
be
started,
and
so
this
allows
us
to
incur
these
pre-award
costs
before
we
get
the
agreement.
So
we
can
keep
these
programs
running
on
there
at
their
current
levels
and
there
will
be
no.
It
won't
affect
the
the
budgets
that
are
included
in
the
plan
for
those
programs
and
projects.
C
Generally,
the
the
2019
plan
is
the
last
year
of
the
2015
five
year
strategy.
We
will
be
embarking
on
a
new
five-year
strategic
plan
with
the
2020
plan.
Next
that
you
will
be
coming
before
you
next
spring,
the
only
change
there
are
a
couple
key
changes
made
to
the
existing
five-year
strategy
that
are
included
in
this
action
plan.
One
is
the
city
region
as
I
believe
last
cycle
changed
the
definition
of
what's
a
poverty
concentrated
and
minority
concentrated
areas
of
the
city
for
purposes
of
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
C
So
that's
reflected
in
the
the
plan.
We
also
amended
the
plan
to
reflect
council
direction
last
fall
to
add
essential
services
as
a
eligible
on
use
of
our
emergency
solutions,
grant
funding
and
currently
there's
an
RFP
out
for
capital
funding
and
essential
services
and
emergency
shelters,
I
believe
that
is
wraps
up
at
the
end
of
this
month.
C
So
you
should
be
seeing
something
this
summer
along
that
line
and
then
finally,
we
updated
use
this
as
an
opportunity
to
update
our
emergency
solutions,
Grants
policy
and
procedures,
which
is
found
in
the
appendix
of
the
the
action
plan
to
be
closer
coordinated
with
the
continuum
of
care
of
the
county
and
HUD
mandates.
So
we
reflect
updated
some
language
there
and
adjusted
some
some
program
design
their.
C
A
See
any
questions
right
now,
so
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation.
Maybe
there'll
be
some
questions
after
it
I'm
prepared
to
open
the
public
hearing,
so
I'll
do
so.
The
public
hearing
is
now
open,
I
know,
there's
one
person
who's
signed
up
to
speak
and
that
is
sue.
Phillips
welcome.
I'll.
Also
note
that
and
I
appreciate
the
written
comments
a
you
provided
up
here
for
us
as
well.
Mr.
D
Micah's
is
the
organization
has
been
around
for
30
years,
so
we've
been
commenting
on
these
plans
for
a
long
time.
We
believe
that
everyone,
without
exception
should
have
a
safe,
decent,
accessible
and
affordable
home,
that
we
need
to
be
welcoming
communities
and
that
we
need
to
love
and
treat
other
people
the
way
that
we
want
to
be
treated
so
very
quickly.
I'll
summarize
the
comments
mr.
D
chair,
if
I
may
is
that
mica
as
I
think
all
of
you
know
brought
a
fair
housing
complaint
against
the
city
of
Minneapolis
in
2015,
we
settled
that
in
2016
with
the
voluntary
compliance
agreement
five
years
and
then
we
worked
with
you
and
amending
the
analysis
of
impediments
to
fair
housing,
and
so
some
of
our
concerns
are
ongoing.
Concerns
that
we
have
with
the
plan
where
we
don't
see
specifics
identifying
how
we're
addressing
those
impediments.
D
We
also
are
very
concerned
about
the
community
engagement,
which
was
one
of
our
concerns
for
bringing
the
complaint
is
making
sure
that
people
throughout
our
community
are
actually
having
input
into
the
decisions
about
the
plans
are
being
developed
and,
while
I
think
that
there's
been
an
increase
in
that
I
do
think
that
we
need
to
continue
to
expand.
How
we're
having
community
input
on
these
plans
and
helping
people
understand
that
this
is
our
federal
dollars
coming
to
the
city
and
how
we
can
utilize
them.
D
We
encourage
you
to
really
look
at
using
some
of
the
administrative
dollars
that
are
supposed
to
be
going
towards
our
authentic
community
engagement
to
really
expanding
that
and
doing
actual
granting
out
of
some
dollars
to
some
of
the
folks
that
helped
with
the
analysis
of
impediments
to
Fair,
Housing
and
amending
that.
So
we
could
do
actually
community
engagement
in
small
settings
and
in
communities
across
our
metro
area,
as
well
as
having
quarterly
roundtable
meetings,
especially
as
we're
going
into
the
five-year
plan
again,
so
that
our
community
really
understands
that.
D
We
want
to
applaud
you
for
expanding
the
use
of
the
emergency
solutions
grant.
We
have
been
pushing
that
would
be
also
used
for
essential
services
for
a
long
time
and
that,
in
addition
to
capital,
because
it's
critical,
that's
B-
be
used
for
both
and
that
can
be
used
for
prevention
and
rapid
rehousing.
D
We
continue
to
have
concerns
about
what
HUD
is
putting
on
as
restrictions
to
the
city
and
to
other
communities
in
regards
to
the
use
of
both
the
ESG
dollars
and
other
continuum
of
care
dollars,
and
so
we
are
very
happy
that
you're
coordinated
with
the
containment
care.
But
what
we're
seeing
is
that
HUD
is
continuing
to
tell
communities
what
to
do
as
opposed
to
having
the
responses
come
from
the
community
itself,
and
so
our
concern
is
that
we
have
concerns
about
the
use
of
data
privacy
being
broken
by
our
HMIS.
D
The
homeless
management
information
system
and
the
coordinated
entry
is
not
a
very
rapid
way
for
people
to
get
into
the
different
housing
programs
that
are
available.
It's
only
have
people
here
in
Minneapolis
have
been
on
the
waiting
list
for
a
year,
and
so
this
is
an
issue
for
people
actually
getting
services.
We
need
to
continue
to
do
our
coordination
between
our
public
and
private
housing.
D
Some
of
you
may
or
may
not
know
that
with
our
long-term
homeless
or
chronic
homeless,
programs
at
the
state
level
is
that
we
have
people
that
have
been
living
in
in
supportive
housing,
funded
with
homeless
dollars
for
now
10
to
15
years,
while
living
in
permanent
housing.
Both
the
housing
is
subsidized
by
homeless
dollars
from
HUD,
as
well
as
as
state
housing
dollars
that
are
homeless
dollars,
subsidizing
people
that
are
in
permit
housing
as
well
as
homeless,
service
dollars.
D
So
we
encourage
you
as
a
city
to
have
your
lobbyists
work
with
us
as
we're
trying
to
get
those
folks
transitioned
into
mainstream
programs
so
that
we
free
up
our
homeless
dollars
to
be
used
for
the
folks
that
are
experiencing
homelessness
today,
and
this
is
really
putting
a
backlog
into
into
the
system
right
now,
if
you
have
not
looked
at
the
u.s.
General
Accounting
offices
homeless,
reports
from
nineteen
nineteen,
ninety
nine
two
thousand
old
reports,
but
really
good
about
how
we
can
use
mainstream
resources
to
do
that.
D
We've
encouraged
the
city
throughout
the
time
that
you've
had
home
funds
available
is
to
use
a
portion
of
that
for
tenant-based
rental
subsidies.
That's
used
in
Anoka
County.
We
use
just
twenty
thousand
dollars
rent
subsidies.
We
could
serve
five
to
eight
families
with
rent
subsidies.
That's
what
it
costs
us
to
have
five
or
eight
families
actually
in
a
shelter
here
in
Minneapolis,
so
utilizing
our
dollars
a
little
bit
more
wisely.
D
Cdbg
funds,
Community
Development,
Block
Grants,
we're
concerned
that
there's
not
a
real
high
priority
given
to
folks
at
50
percent
below
and
30
percent
below
in
the
plan.
It's
a
very
vague
statement
is
that
20
percent
of
the
unit's
will
go
towards
people
at
50
percent
of
median
below,
with
our
critical
need
for
our
very
lowest
income
people
having
housing.
D
We
really
think
that
focusing
these
very
limited
resources
that
we
know
have
been
cut
to
the
folks
and
greatest
need
and
then,
as
I
stocking
earlier
with
Matthew
about
just
the
initiatives
they
are
not
identified
in
this
plan
and
I
know
that
they're
part
of
other
plans
just
encourage
us
to
continue
some
of
the
work
that
was
done
in
the
previous
administration,
as
well
as
the
work.
That's
being
done
in
this
administration.
D
Utilizing
the
four
D
to
help
as
a
classification
to
get
more
landlords
involved
in
that
to
keep
housing
affordable
for
our
renters
as
well
as
I.
Think
most
of
you
probably
aware
that
the
low-income
housing
tax
credit
and
when
we
made
the
major
tax
law
changes
last
year,
we
can
now
do
what's
called
income
averaging,
and
so
we
talked
about
this
last
year
with
the
MSP
board.
D
Unfortunately,
I
was
not
able
to
attend
it
for
the
QAP
qualified
allocation
plan
for
2020,
but
basically
what
this
does
is
that
we
can
create
with
the
low-income
housing
tax
credit
units
that
are
like
at
80
percent
and
then
units
that
are
30
percent,
and
then
we
average
to
get
to
the
below
60%,
and
so
this
really
allows
us
to
do
more,
targeting
it's
still
an
illogical
use
under
the
4
D
tax
program.
So
you.
D
You,
sir,
and
then
we
just
want
to
again
just
recognize
that
people
are
homeless
because
they
don't
have
enough
money
to
get
into
housing.
Ok,
also,
we
need
more
housing,
but
people
with
money.
They
have
a
lot
of
issues
can
get
into
housing.
People
without
money
have
hard
time
getting
into
into
into
housing
and
people
with
out
money
or
very
little
money
that
have
issues
like
criminal
issues.
Mental
mental
health
issues,
landlord
tenant,
see
issues
other
things
almost
impossible
to
get
into
housing.
D
So
myself,
I
have
a
felony
I,
also
have
chemical
health
issues
and
I
own
a
home.
So
it's
about
having
resources.
So
we
need
to
match
up
our
our
liveable
incomes
and
our
housing
together.
So
for
a
person
in
Minneapolis
to
afford
a
two-bedroom
or
a
family,
they
need
to
be
making
almost
$21
an
hour
working
full-time
$18,
an
hour
for
one
bedroom.
So
it's
changed
a
lot
over
our
lifetime.
My
first
place
was
in
southeast
Minneapolis
for
125
in
the
early
70s
used
to
rent
houses
for
$200
a
month.
D
So
people
can
live
as
they
want
to
live
in
the
different
settings
that
they
want
to
live
in.
We
applaud
the
city
for
your
work
on
lead
and
councilmember.
Ellis
Ellison
has
worked
very
closely
with
our
staff
on
that
with
ICF
Fletcher
and
with
Michelle
o
Sims,
as
as
well
as
your
your
staff
have
worked
with
us
at
the
state
capital
and
try
to
increase
dollars
for
making
our
homes
LED
safe
for
every
child
that
becomes
disabled
by
lead.
D
It
costs
us
$100,000
per
year
for
the
rest
of
their
life,
so
we're
talking
about
every
child
that
has
becomes
disabled,
that
their
brain
becomes
so
damaged
that
they
go
on
disability.
We're
talking
about
six
to
eight
million
dollars
per
child
for
the
rest
of
their
life
doesn't
take
long
to
add
up
that
when
you
have
700
kids
poisoned
at
least
in
Minnesota
what
those
dollars
are,
if
even
a
portion
of
that
population
becomes
disabled
for
life,
so
ty
seus
son,
as
you
well
know,
is
disabled.
The
bill
is
named
after
him.
D
That's
doing
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
there
really
is
in
place
op
housing
for
people
that
may
be
displaced,
that
there
is
no
way
that
they
become
homeless
and
that
then,
when
those
properties
come
back
up
online
as
far
as
vacant
property,
we
use
it
for
urban
homestead
or
we
use
it
for
creating
some
more
affordable
housing,
tiny
homes,
Mika's
or
is
one
of
the
collaborators
in
the
envision
project,
the
tiny
home
project.
So
we
encourage
you
to
to
join
us
at
our
annual
meeting.
D
You
have
this
will
sheet
also,
which
is
coming
up
on
June
11th,
where
we
will
be
talking
about
that,
and
we
greatly
appreciate
the
city
looking
at
changing
its
zoning
so
that
we
can
do
tiny
homes
within
the
community.
Then
we
continue
to
be
concerned
how
we're
using
20%
of
the
CDBG
dollars
for
administration.
I
know
it's
used
for
a
variety
of
different
things,
but
you
would
not
allow
any
of
us
that
received
grants
from
you
to
use
20%,
probably
for
our
administrating
our
program.
D
So
we
want
the
city
to
be
as
positive
of
a
good
steward
of
our
dollars
too.
So
as
we
continue
to
move
ahead
as
I
mentioned
to
Matthew,
we
would
love
to
work
with
you
in
the
community,
in
having
roundtables
with
with
community
residents
and
with
our
diverse
communities,
and
strongly
encourage
you
to
to
take
us
up
on
that
offer.
Thank
you,
sir.
A
E
E
Legislative
organization
also
art
our
family
centers,
which
is
shelters,
transitional,
permanent
housing
and
APEC,
which
is
housing.
Consortium
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
few
comments
and
I
don't
want
to
be
redundant
on
the
other
issues
brought
before
you,
but
I
do
appreciate
getting
notices,
but
the
notices
I
get,
are
you're
having
a
meeting.
E
So
what
they'll
be
coming
out
with
just
to
give
you
a
heads
up
is
something
that,
as
you
plan
for
how
you
modify
homes
or
get
homes
rehabilitated
and
so
forth,
and
changed
that
they
consider
how
they're
adaptive
to
these
new
technologies
and
also
because
of
the
high
cost
of
healthcare
and
the
aging
population,
and
need
to
retain
people
in
their
homes
as
far
as
the
most
cost-effective
method.
Thank
you
interesting.
A
Thank
you
see
anyone
else
here
to
speak
on
the
consolidated
plan.
Seeing
no
one
here
then
I'll
close
the
public
hearing.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
for
from
committee
members
I'll
just
make
one
note
that
during
the
discussion
of
this
essentially
what
happened
is
the
federal
budget
Cree's
the
amount
we
got
by
I?
Think
around
$800,000
I
mean
we're
improving
now
proportionately,
distributing
that
throughout
at
least
four
of
the
programs.
A
That
would
make
a
difference
in
we
did
hear
from
the
mayor's
office
some
interest
in
seeing
adjusting
the
money
and
focusing
it
on
more
successful
and
effective
programs
and
others.
We
felt
like
I,
felt,
like
and
I
think
this
debt
also
supported
going
forward
with
this
recommendation
right
now
with
an
understanding,
we
can
always
go
back
and
make
adjustments
in
the
future
if
we
want
to
bring
it
back
to
the
committee.
A
So
I
just
want
to
warn
you
that
the
mayor's
office
is
doing
a
little
research
to
kind
of
make
sure
that
they're
this
is
this
allocation
will
have
the
biggest
impact,
so
we
could
hear
from
them
again,
but
with
that
note,
I
will
move
the
staff
recommendation
and
it's
all
five
items
on
the
agenda.
Any
questions
or
comments
on
the
motion
and
seeing
none,
then
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
A
F
Chair
Gordon
members
of
the
committee,
housing
replacement
districts
are
a
special
type
of
tax,
increment
financing,
district
for
scattered
site
single-family
housing
authorized
by
special
legislation
enacted
in
1995.
The
purpose
of
the
district
is
to
acquire
and
prepare
parcels
for
the
development
of
housing
not
to
exceed
one
hundred
and
fifty
percent
of
average
market
value
of
single-family
homes
in
Minneapolis.
This
would
be
the
fourth
district
previous
council
approved
districts
in
1996
2003
and
in
2009.
F
Districts
are
open
for
adding
and
removing
parcels
for
five
years,
and
thus
we
need
a
new
district.
We
may
designate
500
persons
to
be
included
in
all
of
the
housing
replacement
districts.
Currently
there
are
357
persons
that
are
designated,
and
so
we
have
capacity
for
about
140
well
for
exactly
143
parcels
in
our
current
action,
we're
proposing
to
add
54
persons
that
we
know
are
going
to
be
developed
for
a
housing
purpose.
F
The
intention
of
staff
is
to
add
additional
parcels
later,
as
we
prepare
more
parcels
for
development
and
we're
requesting
delegate
delegation
to
the
CP
director
to
add
those
parcels
as
they're
as
they're
identified
and
approved.
The
properties
that
are
added
into
a
tax
increment
district
earn
increment
for
16
years,
once
they're
placed
in
the
district.
Our
estimate
for
total
cost
is
10.5
million
dollars
to
assemble
the
site's.
F
Tif
contributes
75%
or
7.9
million,
and
the
city
contributes
25
percent
or
2.6
million
sources
for
the
city
funding,
or
something
that
are
part
of
our
regular
programming
and
designated
in
the
city
budget.
The
current
plan
was
transmitted
and
open
for
public
comment
on
April
5th
2019,
and
we
did
not
receive
any
comments.
F
A
D
A
A
Thank
you
very
much.
So
are
there
any
other
questions
or
comments
on
this?
Seeing
them
and
I'll
move
approval
of
the
resolution
that
would
create
this
housing
replacement,
tax,
increment
financing
plan,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed,
say
no.
That
motion
carries
and
now
we'll
move
on
to
item
number
seven,
which
is
this
is
the
missile
missing
middle
housing
pilot
program
and
welcome.
F
Okay,
you're
Gordon
members
of
the
committee
we're
here
today
proposing
a
missing
middle
pilot
housing
program
missing
middle
is
a
housing
type.
That's
not
typically
prevalent
in
Minneapolis
through
this
program,
we're
defining
it
as
3
to
20
unit
housing
developments
in
our
long-range
planning
division,
it's
defined
as
2
to
20
units.
The
only
reason
that
we're
defining
it
as
3
to
20
units
is
because
we
have
other
programs
that
create
duplexes
3
to
20
unit
housing
developments
that
typically
require
less
square
footage
and
result
in
smaller
building
footprints.
F
We're
creating
this
pilot
in
response
to
several
housing
trends.
There's
been
a
loss
of
affordable
housing
units
generally
in
the
city
due
to
market
forces,
almost
half
of
households
and
over
half
of
people
of
color
and
indigenous
households
or
housing
cost
burden
and
single-family
homes
currently
occupy
about
70%
of
city
Lots,
but
only
provide
45%
of
units.
So
the
intention
of
this
program
is
to
look
at
ways
that
we
can
use
our
land
more
efficiently
and
produce
more
units
of
housing
on
on
lots.
F
The
program
is
also
in
response
to
current
the
current
home
ownership
and
rental
markets.
Homes
are
selling
for
a
median
260,000
dollar
sale
price
and
the
price
increases
have
been
almost
12
percent
a
year.
Rentals
are
some
similarly
averaging
at
a
very
high
cost,
a
thousand
two
hundred
forty
six
for
a
one-bedroom
in
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
six
for
a
three-bedroom.
We
also
have
low
vacancy
rates
in
our
city,
and
so
the
intention
of
this
program
is
to
look
at
product
of
additional
housing
units.
F
The
program
comes
with
affordability
requirements.
Our
funding
is
connected
to
the
affordable
units
that
are
created
in
any
development
in
the
case
of
rental
projects,
we're
recommending
20%
of
units
affordable
to
50%
ami
households,
with
a
preference
for
projects
that
provide
deeper
affordability
or
longer
affordability
terms
and
on
the
ownership
side,
we're
recommending
10%
of
units
that
are
affordable
to
80%
AMI
households,
with
a
similar
preference
for
projects
that
provide
more
affordable
units
or
deeper
affordability
in
North
Minneapolis.
F
We're
recommending
that
affordability,
assistance,
that's
provided
to
homebuyers
is
recaptured
and
then
recycled
in
Minneapolis
homes,
programs
in
all
other
parts
of
the
city.
We're
recommending
that
the
units
that
are
created
are
long-term,
affordable
units
that
have
a
30-year
affordability
requirement.
F
The
program
is
in
response
to
the
2040
comprehensive
plan,
as
well
in
in
alignment
with
the
Minneapolis
2040
comprehensive
plan.
It
increases
the
supply
of
housing
and
its
diversity
of
location
and
types,
so
cost
of
entry
to
homeownership
can
be
high
because
of
few
housing
options
by
creating
town
homes
or
triplexes
or
or
condos
we're
hoping
that
we're
going
to
just
diversify
the
types
of
housing
that
are
present
in
the
city.
F
F
The
2040
plan
also
spoke
about
producing
housing
units
that
meet
the
changing
needs
of
Minneapolis
residents
in
terms
of
unit
sizes,
housing,
types,
levels
of
affordability
and
locations
missing.
Middle
housing
is
typically
more
affordable
than
single-family
detached
housing
is,
and
encouraging
density
is
something
that
we're
hoping
is
going
to
have
in
act
on
vacancy
rates.
F
The
funding
that
we
provide
is
going
to
be
based
on
demonstrated,
need
and
only
available
for
the
affordable
units
that
are
in
any
particular
development.
We're
recommending
up
to
$70,000
per
affordable
unit
and
projects
with
a
compelling
basis,
such
as
a
longer
afford
ability,
term
or
lower
ami
restrictions.
We're
recommending
for
up
to
$95,000.
F
The
type
of
funding
that
we're
providing
is
gap
funding
in
the
case
of
a
rental
project
funds
cover
the
gap
between
the
total
development
cost
of
a
home
and
a
total
development
cost
of
a
project.
Pardon
me
and
the
debt
and
equity
that
affordable
rents
can
support.
In
the
case
of
ownership
projects,
the
funds
cover
the
gap
between
the
total
development
cost
and
a
combination
of
the
fair
market
sales
price
and
what
a
homebuyer
can
afford
to
pay
for
their
first
mortgage
eligible
properties
and
the
pilot.
F
We're
recommending
that
effectively
any
parcel
in
the
city
could
be
an
eligible
parcel.
We
will
be
advertising
city-owned
property
as
a
component
of
the
request
for
proposals.
If
council
approves
the
pilot
program
and
authorizes
the
release,
however,
we're
also
envisioning
that
privately
owned
parcels
are
something
that
could
be
included
or
or
applied
for
for
a
development
of
projects
can.
F
Yep
the
way
that
we've
framed
the
guidelines,
we've
said
that
there
can
be
no,
not
less
no
net
lots
of
units.
So
if
there's
a
building
on
a
site-
and
the
intention
is
to
demolish
that
building
and
then
build
build
new
units,
then
there
would
be
a
need
to
ensure
that
more
units
are
built
than
what
was
in
the
existing
building
and.
F
F
F
But
we
were
what
we
were
sort
of
discussing
or
trying
to
think
about
was,
if
there's
a
scenario
where
there's
two
vacant:
lots
on
either
side
and
there's
a
building
in
the
middle,
that's
a
vacant
building.
Would
we
say
no
to
demolishing
that
building
in
order
to
achieve
something,
that's
more
dense.
That
was
the
thinking
and.
A
H
F
H
F
The
last
slide
on
May
1st,
we
conducted
an
information
session
with
approximately
50
people.
Our
intention
today
is
to
review
the
pie
guidelines
and
also
hopefully
achieve
a
issuance
of
the
request
for
proposals
and
later
in
June
or
July,
we're
planning
to
release
the
request
for
proposals
which
would
facilitate
construction
beginning
in
spring
of
2020,
and
now
I'm
done
and
ready
to
take
questions.
You.
A
F
So,
in
the
case
of
our
rental
projects,
we
we
modeled
this
program
after
the
affordable
housing,
trust
fund
and
so
similar
to
the
affordable
housing.
Trust
fund
were
envisioning
a
30-year
affordability
period,
that's
secured
with
a
no
mortgage
and
we're
also
envisioning
that
we
would
be
contracting
with
affordable
housing
connections
to
do
the
monitoring
for
those
units.
In
the
case
of
the
ownership
units,
as
I
mentioned
properties
in
North.
F
Our
recommendation
is
that
we
use
a
recapture
method
of
home
sale,
which
means
that
the
affordability
would
be
connected
to
the
first
purchaser
and
after
the
first
purchaser
sells
than
we
would
recapture
funds
that
are
that
were
invested
by
the
city
and
affordability,
assistance
and
recycle
them
in
the
remainder
of
the
city.
We're
recommending
a
long
term,
affordability,
reservation
for
all
of
the
affordable
units,
and
we
have
a
process
where
we've
been
approving
long
term,
affordable
housing
providers.
F
Currently
there
are
two
approved
providers,
city
of
lakes,
Community
Land,
Trust
and
Twin
Cities
Habitat
for
Humanity,
and
the
only
reason
that
we
didn't
apply.
The
reservation
in
north
is
because
of
feedback
that
we've
heard
from
community
members
in
north
in
north
North
Minneapolis
is
where
a
majority
of
vacant
land
is
currently
located
in
the
city,
and
so
we've
heard
a
concern
about
reserving
all
of
that
land
for
long-term,
affordable
purposes.
E
H
Last
question:
with
regard
to
vacant:
lots
versus
existing
housing,
so
I
mean
people
who
live
in
North
Minneapolis,
who
already
have
income
issues
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
purchase
multiple
Lots,
combine
them
and
build
something
dense
and
then
living
it
themselves
and
rent
it
out.
Okay.
So
it's
mainly
going
to
be
investors,
who
probably
only
one
or
two
buildings,
and
they
might
have
bought
a
side
yard
from
us
and
aren't
you
concerned
that,
like
what
it
is
affordable
currently
will
be
torn
down?
H
And
then
you
could
have,
let's
just
say
to
triplexes
six
families
they'll
be
displaced,
they'll
get
ninety
five
thousand
per
unit
to
displace
them
and
then
they'll
come
back
in
and
yes,
they
might
rent
them
to
somebody
else
where
it's
affordable.
But
it's
displacing
six
families
that
we
have
to
figure
out.
Then,
what's
going
to
happen
to
them,
so
I
don't
consider
it
one
for
one
replacement
because
I'm
thinking
about
the
actual
person
who
loses
their
housing
because
there's
a
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
incentive
to
build
the
six
Plex.
F
G
F
D
H
Then
they
disinvest
in
their
buildings
and
then
they
accumulate
multiple
Lots,
and
then
they
get
money
from
the
city
and
they
displace
people,
starting
with
just
the
vacant
lots
if
there's
just
so
much
interest,
we
won't
have
enough
money
if
there
anyway,
if
there's
a
limited
amount
of
money,
maybe
we
should
just
start
with
vacant
lots,
because
then
we
won't
have
to
address
the
issue
of
displacement.
There's
this
addressing
the
issue
of
displacement
and
then
trying
to
justify
it.
H
A
Let's
discuss
that
further
become
it's
and
see
where
it
goes.
I
could
see
that
also
creating
a
problem
around
the
university
area,
where
I
could
see
people
having
holding
lots
of
properties
I'm,
not
sure
what
to
do
about
an
empty
abandoned
building.
That's
been
abandoned
for
years,
as
opposed
to
actually
vacant
piece
of
land
or
those
kinds
of
things.
But
this
place
when
I
think
said
concerned
we
may
share
or
I
share
concern
about
displacement,
Council
President
Ben
here
thank.
I
You
mr.
chair
I,
think
I
would
encourage
us
to
have
more
nuance
and
use
more
data
before
making
a
blanket
decision
like
that,
for
example,
in
Ward
10,
where
80%
of
my
constituents
aren't
renters
I
mean
I,
look
out
five
years
and
wonder
how
many
people
are
going
to
be
able
to
live
in
my
ward
at
all
in
that
timeframe,
and
so
it's
also
a
place
of
our
city
like
many,
where
we
are
currently
losing
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
for
for-profit
development.
That
has
no
affordability
in
it.
I
As
we
wait
for
our
inclusionary
zoning
ordinance
to
be
ready
for
a
vote
and
so
of
an
award
like
mine,
a
place
where
you
might
see.
If
you
know
you
might
lose
a
duplex,
for
example,
but
you
might
gain
a
ten
unit
building
that
has
affordability
in
it.
That
might
be
a
trade-off.
That
makes
sense
in
a
place
where
you
can
get
higher
densities
based
on
the
context
of
the
neighborhood
and
our
plans,
as
well
as
the
context
of
affordability
in
the
neighborhood.
I
So
I
hope
we
might
be
able
to
look
at
that
kind
of
data.
We
did
map
our
city's
entire
private
market
back
I
think
it
was
four
or
five
years
ago.
Councilmember,
Reich
and
I
did
a
staff
direction
and
asked
seabed
to
map
our
housing
market.
So
we
have
some
data
which
is
now
updated,
but
I
hope
we
could
start
to
use
some
of
that
data
to
help
us
guide
these
decision
so
that
we
might
have
more
nuance
into
the
context
of
we're
missing
middle
housing.
I
G
A
We
get
a
picture
of
it.
Could
you
estimate
how
many
units
this
actually
might
create?
It's
only
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
right
and
we're
talking
seventy
to
ninety
five
thousand
maximum
per
unit,
so
I'm?
Maybe
we
don't
need
the
gap
or
maybe
you
think
we
will
definitely
need
the
full
everyone.
So
it's
not
gonna
be
that
many
units.
So
what's
the
estimate
that
you
have
so.
F
Five
hundred
thousand
was
approved
in
the
2019
budget
for
the
missing
middle
housing
pilot,
we're
recommending
that
we
release
the
RFP
for
the
missing
middle
housing
pilot
at
the
same
time
as
the
Minneapolis
Homes
Program
and
the
probe
the
budget
for
the
Minneapolis
Homes
Program
is
four
million.
Fifty
thousand
so,
depending
on
response,
we,
when
we
receive
the
proposals,
then
we
may
come
back
to
Council
with
a
word
recommendation
that
makes
us
the
use
of
both
of
those
funds.
I
Thank
mr.
chair
I
just
want
to
clarify
what
I
think
we're
discussing
as
a
proposal,
which
is
to
only
focus
these
funds
on
vacant
lots
which
are
primarily
located
in
North
me
appleÃs,
which
do
not
have
a
30-year
affordability
opponent.
So
the
current
proposal
is
to
focus
money.
That's
intended
to
increase
affordability
only
in
a
place
where
affordability
is
not
required.
So
that
is
my.
I
F
F
F
A
A
So
that's
20
units
so
that
so
that's
just
a
modest
number
of
units,
I'm
just
gonna,
say
this
comment
on
it.
That
would
give
us
a
chance
to
see
actually
where
they
were
and
what
happened.
Even
if
we
had
guidelines
that
weren't
quite
right,
we
could
then
assess
that
that
potentially
you're
thinking
of
combining
this,
then
with
another
program
that
could
lead
to
an
creation
of
another
20
or
emmalin,
is
that
right.
F
G
Hi,
mr.
chair
all
members
of
the
committee
I,
what
we're
trying
to
convey
is
that
there
it's
possible
that
there
are
will
be
proposals
that
you
received
through
Minneapolis
homes,
RFP
that
are
also
sort
of
fit
the
criteria
of
the
missing
middle
pilot
and
that
you
know
there.
So
there
could
be
many
of
us
homes
right
now
allows
for
funding
up
to
one
to
four
I
believe,
and
so
it's
possible
that
there
will
be
some
of
them
missing.
G
Middle
sort
of
you
know,
proposals
that
would
be
eligible
for
both,
and
so
while
we're
proposing
this,
as
a
pilot
in
the
pilot
is
very
limited.
There's
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
the
budget,
specifically
for
the
pilot
and
also
speaking
to
council
president
Bender's
comments
on
vacant
land
we
are
in.
Unlike
Minneapolis
homes.
G
We
are
not
proposing
that
we
limit
this
to
only
city-owned
land,
because
the
majority
of
city-owned
land
is
located
in
in
North
Minneapolis,
but
there's
a
lot
of
vacant
land
throughout
the
city,
and
all
of
that
would
be
eligible
to
apply
for
the
missing
middle
pilot.
Additionally,
just
to
make
sure
it's
a
crystal
clear,
all
of
the
city
subsidy
would
only
go
to
fund
affordable
units.
G
G
That
said,
we
are
aware
of
a
proposal
that
will
likely
come
in
for
this
pilot,
that
is,
for
long
term
affordability
in
North
Minneapolis,
using
this
missing
middle
concept.
So
we
expect
that
we
would
get
proposals
on
vacant
land
for
a
long
term,
affordability
also
in
North
Minneapolis,
even
though
that's
not
necessarily
what
we're
proposing
as
a
requirement
of
the
program.
So.
A
A
Okay,
so
just
so
just
to
clarify,
therefore,
that
affordability
would
be
in
place
citywide,
but
for
the
home
ownership.
That
requirement
would
not
be
put
in
place
in
North
Minneapolis,
as
this
is
proposed
and
I
think
it's
going
to
be
easier
than
if
we,
if
we
talked
about
sorry
for
home
ownership,
sorry,
what
did
I
say:
I
left
that
out.
A
So
anything
that
resulted
in
kind
of
helping
the
small-scale
missing
middle
from
the
Minneapolis
Homes
Development
Assistance
is
a
separate
program.
That's
a
separate
thing
we're
just
saying
we
might
help
it
through
this
program.
That's
not
about
this
missing
little
program.
Okay,
I'm!
A
little
bit
curious!
If
committee
members
think
we're
ready
to
approve
this
today
or
if
there
seems
to
be
some
lingering
questions
and
angst
about
it
that
it
might
need
some
a
little
bit
more
work.
Maybe
at
the
committee
level,
council,
member
Ellison.
H
A
That
I
don't
see
anybody
else
wanting
in,
but
I
think
the
fact
that
it's
piloted
as
a
limited
number
of
units
it
gives
us
a
chance
to,
even
if
we
make
a
few
mistakes
or
not
or
we
come
back
in
and
see
who
actually
was
requesting
it
and
we
can
tailor
it
down
better
I,
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
So.
A
B
Thank
You
chair
Gordon
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Maria
Rivera
van
der
Meyde
I'm,
the
city
coordinator
and
I'm
appreciative
of
Margaret
King,
who
has
joined
us
today,
who's
really
been
on
the
ground
and
will
be
able
to
provide
a
more
in-depth
and
in
real-time
update.
We
appreciate
the
study
session
that
we
had
at
council
vendors
request
council
president's
request
last
month
and
happy
now
to
provide
an
update
as
we
near
the
closure
of
the
navigation
Center.
So
with
that
I
will
defer
to
Margaret.
K
You
good
to
be
here
so
my
name
is
Margaret
King
I'm,
the
consultant
working
with
the
city
and
the
county
in
the
state
on
the
navigation,
Center
and
I've
got
it.
Does
a
real
brief
kind
of
status
report
I'd
saw
Steve
horoscope
come
in
I
want
to.
Let
me
get
to
everybody's
aware
that
he's
here
and
lift
him
up
as
the
executive
director
of
Simpson
Housing,
who
really
were
the
primary
operational
partner
at
the
nav
Center
still
are
so
thanks.
I'm
glad
he's
here.
K
So
this
first
slide
here
is
just
a
quick
look
at
organizational
chart
that
essentially
basically
reflects
how
the
work
happens
at
the
nav
Center.
As
everyone
knows,
you
all
know
it's
a
very
unconventional
project.
I
would
say
it
got,
stood
up
very
very
quickly
and
really
is
a
massive
kind
of
barn
raising
by
the
community.
So
it's
got
a
traditional
our
pork
chart
at
all,
but
it
gives
a
sense
of
who
the
primary
partners
are
so
Simpson
is
providing
operational
support
and
they're
they're
really
doing
the
heavy
lifting
of
running
the
nav
center.
K
In
addition
to
that,
the
other
primary
partners
are
Red,
Lake
nation.
Of
course,
they've
got
a
consultant
who
is
coordinating
services
there?
There
is
what
would
are
called
Native
navigators
or
essentially
case
managers
that
are
funded
through
a
private
donor.
The
same
private
donor,
who's
writing
the
operations
and
they
are
doing
case
management
on
the
ground,
with
residents
of
the
nav
center,
really
intensive,
one-on-one
work
with
folks
to
help
them
get
stabilized
and
find
housing
for
themselves.
K
Simpson
is
also
providing
a
couple
two
three
case
managers
and
also
some
senior
leadership,
support
for
service
coordination
on
the
ground,
which
has
been
really
critical,
and
then
the
other
primary
partner
has
been
CE
ped,
helping
coordinate
on
the
ground.
The
operations
that
relate
to
facilities
and
property
management
project
for
Pride
and
living
is
the
Lee
organization
there,
and
so
that
is
a
kind
of
a
basic,
very
quick
sketch.
K
Just
real
quickly,
some
very
basic
kind
of
a
very
simple
take
at
some
opportunities
and
challenges
that
we
have
encountered
at
the
navigation.
Center
opportunities
of
course
happen
when
there's
a
colocation
of
shelter
and
services
and
at
the
navigation
Center.
As
you
know,
it's
been
open.
20,
it's
open,
24
hours
a
day,
there's
intensive
services
on
site
for
the
guests
that
are
staying
there,
and
that
makes
a
big
difference.
It
makes
a
big
difference
for
making
services
available
to
people
where
they
are
and
really
making
creating
pathways
for
people.
K
One
is
the
org
chart
that
we
just
looked
at.
You
know
anytime,
there's
a
complicated,
large,
multi
partner
program
that
doesn't
have
a
single
lead
agency.
It's
real
challenging,
because
this
makes
communication
very
challenging.
Decision-Making
can
be
challenging
in
this
project.
I've
been
I've
said
this
before,
but
I
really
have
been
astounded
in
a
positive
way
in
a
good
way
at
how
well
all
these
partnerships
have
worked.
It's
really
gone
very
very
well,
but
it
is
a
structure
that
that
should
get
some
more
thought
for
a
future
for
future
projects.
K
Another
challenge,
I,
think,
is
just
around
right
sizing.
The
project
started
with
175
people.
That
is
very,
very
massive
for
this
kind
of
an
intervention,
and
so
that
that's
something
to
think
about,
and
just
because
of
the
size
and
because
of
the
very
vulnerable
population
being
served
there.
There's
some
practical
challenges
are
on
safety
and
harm
reduction.
K
So,
as
far
as
updates
go,
here's
a
just
a
quick
picture
of
how
how
the
numbers
have
kind
of
have
scaled
over
time
so
started
at
175,
we'll
get
to
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
this
in
a
couple
slides,
but
you
can
see
that
the
the
numbers
have
gone
steadily
down.
It's
been
about
right
now.
Fifty
of
the
130
people
who
have
exited
the
navigation,
Center
52%,
have
exited
to
positive
destinations.
K
The
vast
majority
of
those
have
gone
to
permanent
housing
and
then
and
other
numbers
have
gone
to
things
like
inpatient
treatment
or
nursing
homes.
In
the
few
cases,
a
few
people
have
gone
into
involuntary
mental
health
treatment,
which
is
actually
a
positive
destination
for
those
folks.
They
really
need
care,
so
the
numbers
are
are
good
and
I
would
say
that
52%
is
very
high.
That's
a
very,
very
high
number
for
an
outcome
for
positive
upsets
at
a
program
like
this.
K
You
can't
really
see
this
on
the
slide,
but
on
the
handouts
you
can
see
that
these
are
different
color
codes.
So
the
point
of
this
slide
is
that
stabilization
has
really
happened
over
time.
So
the
emergency
response
calls
have
been
reduced,
have
gone
down
over
time,
not
in
perfect
lockstep,
with
the
with
the
census
either.
So
this
census
has
gone
down,
but
emergency
response
has
gone
down
faster
and
more
quickly
and
that's
because
of
the
stabilizing
effect
of
safe
indoor
shelter.
K
K
So
we've
started
with
176
people
as
you
all
remember.
The
program
was
intended
initially
for
120,
but
Simpson
opened
the
doors
wide
so
that
everybody
at
the
encampment
could
come,
and
so
that
meant
that
at
the
beginning
there
176
people
there
so
far
there
130
people
have
exited
and
you've
got
some
detail
here
about
where
they've
gone.
So
58
people
have
gone
into
permanent
housing
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
how
that
happened.
K
K
Seven
people
left
the
navigation
Center
in
order
to
go
and
state
a
different
shelter
in
the
system.
Ten
people
just
left
and
we
don't
know
where
they
went.
Eight
people
left
for
jail,
one
person
left
because
they
were
beyond
the
scope
medically,
so
they
needed
nursing,
home
level
care
and
they
left
for
some
destination
of
that
sort
and
I
think
in
actually.
K
K
So
the
current
census
is
46
people
so
of
that
46
there's
expected
to
be
about
20
left
at
the
end
of
May.
The
closing
date
for
the
nav
Center
now
is
June
3rd
Monday
June
3rd,
and
it
had
originally
been
scheduled
to
be
May
31st.
But
it
was
pushed
out
to
June
3rd
to
accommodate
some
folks
that
had
June
1,
move-in
dates
for
their
housing
and
so
Monday.
K
K
They've
got
referrals,
they're
waiting
for
they're
moving
their
units
to
be
ready
and
they've
all
accepted,
alternate
shelter
where
they'll
stay
during
that
interim
period,
and
that
period
will
be
anywhere
from
a
few
days
to
several
weeks,
while
they're
waiting
for
their
unit
and
then
eight
will
likely
be
exited
prior
to
June
3rd,
because
they're
not
participating
and
engaging
in
services
at
all.
And
so
the
staff
are
working
hard
to
find
well
to
persuade
those
folks
to
accept
some
alternate
shelter,
which
is
not
as
easy
to
do
as
you
might
think.
K
K
K
That's
a
really
high
number,
so
that's
a
very
high
exit
rate
for
an
emergency
shelter
in
a
very
short
period
of
time,
and
so
there's
a
few
reasons
for
that.
One
I
think
the
primary
reason
is
because
a
vivo
Red
Lake
have
a
partnership
where
they
are
leveraging.
Housing
supports
funds
from
the
state
and
they're
able
to
get
people
into
private
market
housing
very
quickly.
With
that
resource,
the
resource
is
really
great.
It's
very
nimble.
It's
an
uncapped
resource.
K
K
So
what
that
really
amounted
to
is
we
we
pulled
together,
two
hundred
and
forty
three
thousand
dollars,
which
paid
for
six
case
managers
for
six
months
and
that
those
six
months
then
could
be
spent
with
folks
at
the
navigation
Center
to
help
them
get
into
housing.
And
so
that's
a
lot
of
why
we
have
really
good
housing
outcomes
there.
K
Otherwise
we
were
relying
on
uncoordinated
and
three,
as
has
been
referenced
here
already
today,
and
other
resources
that
are
available,
but
much
slimmer
and
much
slower
to
turn.
So
the
housing
support
was
really
a
major
factor.
I
think
another
factor
and
the
good
outcomes
was
that
was
the
some
of
the
benefits
I
mentioned
at
the
beginning.
The
colocation
of
services
and
shelter
in
one
place
makes
it
a
lot
easier
for
folks
to
connect
with
each
other
and
get
some
and
get
help
and
move
and
make
progress.
I
would
say
that
you
know
the
navigation.
A
I
just
interrupt
mm-hmm,
yeah
I.
Guess
you
keep
keep
talking
about
how
great
the
fifty
two
percent
is
and
I
have
to
admit
that
I'm
sure
there
were
some
of
us
who
are
hoping
it
would
be
higher
yeah.
We
were
hoping
with
enough
support
and
enough
wraparound
services
that
we
could
get
more
people
most.
Can
you
what?
What
do
you?
What
tells
you
52
percent
a
good
rate?
Are
you
looking
at
the
rate
of
overnight
shelters
or
other
placements
from
other
cities,
or
what
can
we
compare
it
to
well.
K
That's
a
good
question,
so
I
think
what
my,
what
I
understand
from
the
local
data
on
shelter
placements
from
housing
into
from
shelter
into
housing,
is
that
the
best
rate
is
around
15
percent.
The
highest
performing
shelter
locally.
Is
it's
hitting
about
a
15
percent
placement
into
housing
rate,
and
that
is
also
in
my
experience,
pretty
high
and
because
those
are
shelters
that
are
mostly
open
only
at
night
and
it's
very
hard
to
do.
K
It
can't
really
do
case
management
at
night,
because
none
of
the
service
agencies
are
open,
and
so
fifty
percent
for
a
nighttime
shelter
is
very
high,
and
so
52
percent
is
extremely
high
and
and
I
think
it's
a
lot
of
the
reason
we
it
was
able
to
be
so
high
is
because
of
this
housing
support
resource
that
we
were
able
to
leverage,
because
that's
housing
that's
available
in
the
private
market.
Now
there
is
a.
There
is
an
issue
where,
at
some
point,
the
private
market
is
going
to
be
saturated
for
these
low-cost
units.
K
We
might
be
getting
there
already
in
across
the
city,
but
that
I
think
is
really
why
a
much
higher
than
normal
much
higher
than
average
the
housing
placement
rate
was
achieved
at
the
navigation,
Center
and
52%
you're
right.
It
doesn't
seem
that
high,
but
it
is,
and
in
our
experience
locally
and
nationally
also
it's
quite
high
and.
A
K
K
Yeah,
it's
true
yeah.
If
I
understand
are
you
saying
so
I
think
this
is
the
last
night,
so
the
closing
date
is
June
3rd,
as
I
mentioned
there
right
now
projected
to
be
about
between
20
or
30
people
that
are
still
there
at
the
end
of
on
that
date,
all
of
whom
have
housing
that
just
isn't
quite
available
for
them
yet
and
so
they'll
be
staying
at
other
shelters.
One
of
the
things
that's
happening
for
that
group
during
that
time
is
that
different
community
agencies,
state
st.
K
We're
trying
to
connect
them
with
outreach
workers
to
make
the
connection,
and
so
they
don't
lose
that
opportunity
and
then
other
people
I
will
say
that
there's
you
know
this
is
certainly
service
rich
project
in
Minneapolis,
but
there
are
hundreds
of
people
living
unfiltered
in
our
city,
and
so
this
is
a
small
number
of
the
overall,
the
overall
number.
So
that's
the
presentation
that
was
a
very
quick
update.
Thank
you.
I
You
mr.
chair
I
just
want
to
note
that
our
city
coordinator,
mr.
Behrman
van
der
Meyde,
had
hoped
to
be
here,
but
she
had
to
step
out
for
a
meeting
with
the
mayor.
So
so
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
couple
of
questions.
That
really
may
be
more
like
statements
now
that
she's
not
here
but
mr.
King
I
just
wanted
well
I
wanted
to
note
just
that
the
pohlad
foundation
was
able
to
provide
the
funding
for
MS
Kings
position,
and
we
were
very
grateful
for
that.
K
I
I
mean
one
of
the
things
I.
Just
kind
of
wanted
to
note,
as
we
think
reflect
on
this
experience
and
look
forward,
is
that
the
City
Council
approved
1.5
million
dollars
on
October
16th,
for
this
particular
use
without
having
any
internal
staff
whose
job
it
is
to
design
or
shelter.
People
experiencing
homelessness
and
I
was
concerned
at
the
time
and
remain
concerned
that
when
we
make
a
large
capital
investment
like
that
that
we
are
staffing,
our
interventions
appropriately
and
I
know
that
we
had
enormous
numbers
of
staff.
I
Considering
that
the
city
was
stepping
into
a
role
that
we
do
not
usually
play
in
funding
a
large
capital
investment
in
a
shelter
and
so
actually
felt
like
I,
had
to
personally
intervene
to
make
sure
that
operators
of
shelter
were
involved
in
designing
the
facility.
In
a
very
late
and
what
I
in
the
process,
and
so
as
we
move
forward
and
I,
think
if
we're
considering
stepping
into
a
role
that
the
city
doesn't
normally
play,
it
is
would
be
to
our
benefit
collectively
to
understand
how
we
staffed
it
appropriately.
E
I
K
You
know,
I
would
just
say:
I
agree
with
all
of
that.
I
mean
I,
think
I.
You
know
when
I
I
have
reflected
on
this
a
lot,
because
I
think
that
you
know
the
the
the
city
and
the
county
and
the
state
and
all
the
community
partners
for
sure
came
together
to
respond
to
a
crisis
and
they
came
together.
Quick
everybody
came
together
quickly
and
stood
up,
something
that
really
saved
lives
over
the
winter.
I
do
believe
that
and
I
think
going
forward.
We
should
take
time
to
be
more
planful
for
all
those
reasons.
A
A
Well,
thank
you
very
much
for
all
that.
You've
brought
in
good
for
this
too.
I
think
that
we
really
owe
gratitude
to
to
lots
of
people
who
aren't
here
as
well,
but
couldn't
have
had
the
amount
of
success
that
we
had
without
an
amazing
group
of
people.
Working
on
this
did
you
want
to
add
something
else.
Wendy.
I
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
just
since
I
was
a
little
negative
there.
I
do
I
do
also
want
to
highlight
that
on
the
plus
side
of
this
experience,
I
think
this
investment
showed
that
folks,
who
maybe
sometimes
are
considered
impossible
to
house
or
who
are
really
not
being
served
in
our
system,
really
can
be
successful.
If
we
put
the
right
resources
in
place
and
I,
don't
want
to
lose
sight
of
that
or
or
the
understanding
that
going
forward.
I
You
know
we
will
continue
to
have
populations
in
our
city
that
that
need
this
level
of
resource
and
support,
and
so
I
think
part
of
our
jobs
is
local.
Elected
officials
as
I'm
part
of
statewide
conversations
is
to
build
the
support
in
our
communities
to
to
cite
low-barrier
24-hour
shelters.
You
know
to
think
about
how
we
reduce
the
stigma
of
IV,
drug
use
and
support
of
folks
who
are
using
drugs
to
get
into
shelter
and
into
housing.
A
Thank
you
for
putting
a
little
bit
of
a
positive
note
on
that
idea.
I
do
think,
there's
some
things
that
we
did
here,
that
we
could
replicate
or
could
inform
other
shelters
or
could
open
a
doorway
for
other
ways
to
do
things
we
do.
We
did
hear
from
a
lot
of
people
about
how
the
barriers
kept
him
away
from
shelters
and
there
were
a
lot
of
reasons
why
they
didn't
go,
and
then
we
heard
there
aren't
wraparound
services
in
supportive
services
to
help
people
find
housing
at
the
other
shelters.
A
J
Of
the
words
of
wisdom,
but
did
you
wanted
to
say
that
the
city
sort
of
jumped
into
this
endeavor
with
a
lot
of
political
will,
but
virtually
no
know-how?
And
so,
and
you
know,
as
the
consul
president
Illustrated
and
I,
think
that
we
really
I
just
want
to
put
a
finer
point
on
the
the
the
thanks
that
we
owe
to
Simpson
and
Red
Lake
and
to
Margaret
your
help
in
stepping
in
here
as
well
and
I.
J
J
But
I
do
think
that
there
are
better
solutions
that
the
that,
if
the
city
is
going
to
take
this
on,
that,
we
can
engage
so
that
we
are
making
sure
that
we're
housing
people
in
a
way
that
is
dignified,
that
we're
not
sort
of
flying
by
the
seat
of
our
pants
and
relying
on
really
really
competent
outside
help
to
to
sort
of
step.
In
and
save
the
day,
so
just
wanted
to
offer
that
that
extreme.
Thank
you
to
to
those
three
parties
yourself,
Steve
and
and
Red
Lake
as
well.
So.
K
We've
and
help
you
writing
some
kind
of
a
report
with
recommendations
and
it'll
be
a
much
more
detailed,
but
one
of
the
partners
that
I
don't
want
to
forget.
Since
we're
thanking
people
is
the
mud
organizations
they
were,
they
were,
it
was.
It
was
really
critical,
their
help
and
so
I.
You
know,
I
think
what
you
said.
Council
president,
is
totally
right
that,
with
the
right
supports
anybody
can
succeed
in
housing.
L
I
was
one
quick
comment.
Thank
you
for
all
the
positive
remarks
about
this
and
that
really
the
negative
really
falls
largely
in
the
area
of
the
inefficiencies
that
came
from
the
way
in
which
we
had
to
ramp
this
up
right.
So
learning
from
that,
then
the
the
best
thing
that
we
can
be
doing
to
solve
for
that
is
being
forward-looking
in
terms
of
how
we
how
we
move
forward,
we've
talked
a
lot
about
how
low
barrier
service
rich,
sheltered
environments
work.
L
It
allows
us
to
get
people
engaged
with
health
care
and
with
housing
and
harm
reduction
and
all
the
other
critical
services.
The
way
to
set
the
way
to
deal
with
the
inefficiency
is
to
be
doing
that
work
now,
as
opposed
to
December
11th
when,
when
winter
is
upon
us
and
we're
scrambling
to
try
and
find
something
more
humane
for
a
portion
of
our
of
our
neighbors
and
and
one
last
quick
shout
out
for
for
organizations
that
are
critical
partners,
especially
just
this.
L
The
past
couple
of
weeks,
where
we've
been
dealing
with
some
safety
issues
around
the
navigation
Center
is
Minneapolis.
Police
have
just
been
tremendous
from
the
all
the
way
from
the
beginnings
at
the
encampments
through
and
being
right
alongside
us
learning
with
us,
as
we
as
we
operate
in
a
very
lot
of
tensions
in
this
environment
and
and
and
they've
been
present
and
very
human
to
and
and
learning
with
us,
which
has
been
great.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
also
want
to
just
give
a
thanks
to
our
own
staff.
The
city
coordinators
been
named,
but
there's
also
see
ped
and
I
think
we
should
emphasize
check
lots
and
his
involvement
in
this
and
kind
of
getting
a
task
with
this
and
assigned
with
it
to
kind
of
move,
move
it
along
and
gather
the
forces
together.
So
I
appreciate
that,
and
on
that
note
then
seeing
no
other
comments.
