Description
Minneapolis Housing Policy & Development Committee Meeting
https://lims.minneapolismn.gov/
A
Good
afternoon
I'm
calling
to
order
this
meeting
of
the
housing
policy
Development
Committee
I'm,
chair
of
the
committee
ham,
Gordon
I'm,
joined
today
by
councilmembers
Elson,
Goodman,
Schrader
or
a
quorum
of
the
committee.
We
also
have
councilmember
Fletcher
with
us
today
to
there's
one
item:
that's
not
on
the
printed
agenda
that
I
would
like
to
put
on
the
agenda,
which
would
explain
councilmember,
Schrader's
presence,
I
believe
which
should
be
before
committee
members.
This
is
a
staff
direction,
that's
related
to
housing
and
mixed-use
development
proposals
for
city-owned
land
and
including
some
provisions.
A
There
would
prohibit
short-term
rentals
in
any
residential
project
that
receives
city's
financial
assistance,
I'm
comfortable
moving
the
staff
direction
on
consent,
which
I
assume
would
be
appropriate.
But
if
you
want
to
speak
to
it,
don't
surrender
Fletcher
you
could
as
well
did
you
want
to
speak
to
it?
Well,
let's
yeah.
B
C
A
Award
on
this,
and
just
to
be
clear,
we're
not
necessarily
closing
a
loophole
right
now,
but
we're
moving
a
staff
direction
for
asking
for
recommendations.
It
will
come
back
to
this
committee,
so
it's
a
first
step
towards
that
appreciate
that
the
with
that
included
in
the
agenda
before
you
that
would
leave
us
to
consent
items.
First,
four
items
are
our
public
hearing
items
so
will
after
consent
will
go
to
those
and
then
there's
two
discussion
items
but
on
the
consent
agenda,
then
it's
a
staff
direction.
A
Anybody
want
to
discuss
that
item,
seeing
them
man
on
the
consent
to
join
consent
agenda,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed,
say
no.
Those
motions
passed
in
then
we'll
move
on
to
our
public
hearings.
We
have
one
bond
issuance
and
then
three
land
sales
we'll
start
with
the

invest
two
hundred
forty
thousand

The
secret
construction
manager
staff
has
reviewed
the
plans
and
found
that
they
meet
the
minimum
construction
standards.
In
this
case,
notification
was
provided
to
the
North
Side
residence
Redevelopment
Council
on
May
24
2019
and
the
Newark
Board
voted
on
June
10th
2019
to
approve
the
plan
from
Jean
Claude
and
Carrie
Anne.
Unfortunately,
we're
not
able
to
be
here
today
they
are
current
North
Side
residents.
D
A
See
any
questions
sounds
like
another
wonderful
project.
I
will
open
the
public
hearing,
even
if
we
know
that
the
buyers
might
not
be
here
in
case.
There's
anybody
else
here
who
was
to
speak
on
this
I'm,
not
seeing
anybody
come
forward,
so
I
will
close
the
public
hearing.
It's
just
another
good
news
for
Ward
5.
Would
you
like
to
make
this
motion
yeah.
A
I
You,
chair
Gordon,
the
rest
of
the
committee
I'm
Jamie
Randall
I'm,
a
senior
project
coordinator
with
C
peds,
residential
housing
finance
team.
Today
I'm,
here.
To
give
you
a
brief
presentation
on
Madison
renewals,
our
LLC's
request
for
up
to
8.5
million
dollars
in
tax
exempt
I
was
in
revenue
entitlement
bonds
for
renovation
of
Madison
apartments.
These
apartments
are
located
at
501,
15th,
Street,
south
east
and
the
Elliott
Park
neighborhood
of
Ward
6.
I
There
are
51
units
on
the
property
within
four
structures,
including
the
historic
Madison
school
building,
which
is
on
the
Historic
Register
and
three
townhome
buildings.
The
property
was
developed
into
housing
in
1983
when
the
school
building
was
converted
into
29
apartments
and
22
how
town
homes
were
built
after
36
years
of
use.
I
The
property
is
in
need
of
significant
rehabilitation
and
modernization
for
which
the
developer
is
seeking
bonds
and
4%
low-income
housing
tax
credits
to
finance
these
improvements,
the
schoolhouse
will
have
exterior
common
area
and
unit
improvements,
while
the
townhomes
are
in
need
of
much
more
significant
repair.
The
town
homes
were
built
on
wooden
foundations
and
those
are
currently
failing
on.
These
foundations
will
be
replaced
with
concrete
foundations
and
footings
and
with
an
Foundation's
unit-by-unit.
In
addition,
the
building
will
get
will
receive.
A
new
will
receive
new
rugs
windows,
siding
endure.
I
I
The
total
development
costs
for
this
project
are
estimated
at
approximately
17
million
dollars,
which
includes
a
1.3
million
dollar
developer's
fee.
This
fee
is
consistent
with
the
city's
policy.
The
developer
has
secured
the
other
funding
sources
to
complete
this
project
other
than
the
bonds
which
are
requested.
Today,
staff
is
recommending
approval
of
the
issuance
of
8.5
million
dollars
in
tax
exempt
multi-family
housing
and
entitlement
revenue
bonds.
If
you
have
any
questions
at
this
time,
I'm
happy
to
take
them.
I.
J
During
those
meetings,
serious
concern
was
expressed
by
residents
and
EP
an
eye
on
the
need
for
repairs
in
the
school
building,
as
well
as
concern
about
displacement.
The
foundation
took
tenant
and
API
concerns
into
consideration
and
came
up
with
this
new
proposal.
The
proposal
in
front
of
you
today,
a
project
that
makes
needed
improvements
to
both
the
townhomes
and
school
building
without
off-site
displacement.
The
comfort
and
safety
of
the
Madison
residents
depends
on
this
renovation
project
and
therefore
EP
and
I
strongly
supports
the
bond
request
for
the
Madison
apartments
and
townhomes
Rena.
J
A
B
Hello,
I'm
Todd,
Travis
I'm,
the
president
of
the
foundation,
that
Vanessa
was
referring
to
the
current
owner
and
future
General
Partner
of
the
light
tech
redevelopment.
Some
of
you
may
remember
this
project
when
we
brought
it
to
this
committee
last
spring
and,
like
Vanessa
highlighted,
we
did
not
necessarily
do
a
good
job
of
including
the
community's
contribution
and
Attendance
thoughts
into
the
scope
of
the
rehab.
K
K
Really
supportive
of
the
neighborhood
organizations
work
on
this,
and
this
says
something
about
the
importance
of
neighborhoods
in
helping
to
achieve
City
goals
and
neighborhood
associations,
board
and
staff
were
very
concerned
about
what
was
happening
with
the
tenants
on
this
site
and
instead
of
just
sitting
back,
they
actually
helped
organize
the
tenants
to
be
able
to
come
up
with
a
win-win.
So
the
owner
developer
is
doing
something
good
and
the
Neighborhood
Association
is
supporting
their
immediate
neighbors.
K
We
don't
see
a
lot
of
this
kind
of
activity
amongst
neighborhood
organizations
who
really
step
in
and
try
to
do
something
important-
and
this
is
a
really
good
example
of
that.
So
I
want
to
mint
Park
Neighborhood
Association
for
doing
what
we've
asked
you
to
do,
which
is
stand
up
for
the
people
that
you
represent
and
help
be
a
bridge
between
the
city,
the
property
owners,
as
well
as
the
tenants
well
done.
I
just
really
think
this
is
a
very
good
model
of
success
that
mr.
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
I
really
appreciate
those
comments,
I'm
just
very
impressed
with
the
role
that
the
neighborhood
organization
played
and
also
at
the
time
that
was
taken
to
come
up
with
this
solution
to
it.
So
I
absolutely
agree
with
comfort
and
a
good
run
on
this,
and
it's
wonderful
to
see
you
come
come
forward
like
this.
With
this
one
win
appreciate
that
any
other
comments
on
the
motion
I'll
call
for
vote,
then
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
opposed.
No,
that
motion
carries.
That
concludes
our
public
hearing
section
of
the
media.
A
L
L
For
the
purposes
of
this
pilot
single
room
occupancy,
shared
housing
units
are
defined
as
sleeping
rooms
with
shared
bathrooms
and
shared
kitchens.
We
are
focusing
on
this
housing
type
as
a
direct
response
to
the
homeless
crisis
and
our
experiences
with
the
navigation
Center
SROs
can
be
a
cost-effective
way
to
provide
deep
affordability
for
dreamily,
low-income
people
who
are
homeless
or
at
risk
of
homelessness,
and
there
is
broad
support,
an
interest
in
this
model
throughout
the
homeless
response
network.
L
We
know
that
a
range
of
housing
options
will
be
required
to
address
extremely
low
income
residents,
and
this
approach
is
fully
consistent
with
Minneapolis
2040,
which
specifically
prioritizes
review
and
revision
of
existing
policies,
programs
and
regulations
to
remove
barriers
to
support
innovative
housing
options
such
as
SRO
and
shared
housing
models.
For
this
pilot,
all
trust
fund
program
rules
will
apply
with
the
exception
of
the
following
two
items.
L
Median
income
have
a
viable
path
to
city
entitlements
under
current
zoning
and
demonstrate
an
appropriate
level
of
supportive
services
for
tenants,
if
approved
by
council
staff,
will
advertise
a
short
bonus
application
window
for
a
couple
of
weeks
for
new
applications
and
eligible
projects
that
already
applied
through
the
regular
trust
fund.
Application
process
will
also
be
considered.
L
Awards
will
be
made
in
conjunction
with
the
regular
trust
fund
awards
in
October,
and
we
do
acknowledge
that
this
is
a
very
condensed
timeline,
but
this
was
a
late
arriving
resource
to
us,
for
which
we
are
very
grateful
that
we
have
this
opportunity
to
strategically
target
it
towards
our
work
around
preventing
and
ending
homelessness.
We're
confident
that
we
can
award
these
funds
in
this
cycle
and
also
learn
a
lot
about
any
potential
future
program
adjustments
that
might
be
warranted
if
the
council
eventually
considers
and
supports
a
more
permanent
program.
A
A
So
on
that,
seeing
no
other
comment:
Center
I
will
move
approval
of
this
item.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say.
No.
That
motion
carries
now.
Our
last
item
is
a
quarterly
report
on
our
stable
home,
stable
Schools
program,
and
this
is
in
response
to
a
staff
direction
from
this
committee
and
mr.
Pinker
will
be
giving
the
report.
A
F
Thank
You
chair
Gordon
committee
members
and
Kyle
Hanson
from
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority
will
be
helping
with
the
report
as
well.
So,
as
we
mentioned,
as
you
mentioned,
when
we
brought
stable
home,
stable
schools
for
council
approval
earlier
theirs
here
there
was
a
staff
direction
for
us
to
come
back
and
give
quarterly
reports
on
the
progress
of
the
program.
So
we're
happy
to
be
able
to
do
that
today.
This
slide
here
shows
all
of
the
partners
involved
mPHA,
who
is
administering
the
program
together
with
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
in
Hennepin
County.
F
The
Poulet
Foundation
also
has
some
funding
in
here,
and
a
new
partner
you
will
see.
Since
we
last
presented
is
the
YMCA.
They
were
selected
as
the
service
provider
for
the
program
through
a
competitive
RFP
process
and
staff
from
all
the
partner
organizations
continue
to
meet
monthly,
to
ensure
that
the
program
is
running
smoothly,
and
so
we
can
address
any
issues
as
they
arise.
In
addition
to
the
quarterly
reports,
council
also
directed
staff
to
convene
a
steering
committee
for
the
stable
home,
stable
Schools
program.
F
The
steering
committee
is
made
up
of
policy
makers
and
executive
leaders
from
all
of
the
partner
organizations.
City
representatives
include
councilmember,
Schrader,
councilmember
Cunningham,
the
mayor
and
our
housing
director
Andrea
Brennan.
We
had
our
first
steering
committee
meeting
in
June
and
as
we
move
along,
the
steering
committee
will
also
help
the
advising
on
policy
issues
for
this
program,
and
this
is
our
first
quarterly
report,
because
the
program
really
kicked
off
on
April
1st.
F
That's
when
all
of
the
agreements
were
in
place,
the
service
provider
was
in
place
and
families
started
to
be
enrolled
in
the
program
and
I'm
not
gonna
go
through
this
and
in
too
much
detail.
But
just
as
a
reminder,
mPHA
and
minneapolis
public
schools
are
administering
this
program
together,
so
school
social
workers
identify
families
through
the
schools
that
are
participating
in
the
program.
The
school
social
workers
refer
the
families
to
minneapolis
public
housing
authority
and
help
them
identify
which
path
they
take.
F
So,
if
they're
at
risk
of
losing
housing,
there's
funding
through
poll
ads
for
the
housing
stability
fund,
that
they
can
access
that
can
be
like
a
one-time
rent
to
payment,
rent
payment
or
something
like
that
to
help
prevent
homelessness.
The
other
track
is
if
a
family
is
already
experiencing
homelessness,
then
they're
referred
to
mPHA
for
the
rental
assistance
piece
of
this
program
and
on
either
track.
F
They
are
eligible
to
receive
services
through
the
YMCA
and
then
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Kyle
to
go
through
more
about
the
success
of
the
program
and
we're
we've
seen
really
good
results.
Thus
far,
so
he'll
go
into
more
details
before
I.
Do
that
I
just
wanted
to
touch
on
the
budget
number.
The
overall
program
budget,
as
you'll
recall,
was
designed
to
serve
320
families,
we're
really
still
in
a
ramp-up
period.
Here
we
have
really
good
initial
numbers,
58
families
already
within
the
first
quarter
eligible
but
they're,
not
all
receiving
rental
assistance.
F
Yet
so
at
this
point
the
spending
for
April
1st
through
June
30th
is
just
over
$130,000
and
that's
really
just
those
ramp
up
costs,
but
those
numbers
will
continue
to
grow
as
more
families
are
in
housing
and
receiving
rental
assistance
payments.
So
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Kyle
and
then
I'll
be
back
to
close
out
the
presentation.
H
M
Afternoon,
chair
accordant
and
committee
members
I
want
to
take
a
moment
to
point
out
a
few
things
in
program
highlights.
So
one
of
the
unique
things
about
this
program
is
really
the
collaborative
effort
between
the
social
service
providers.
The
YMCA
Hennepin
County
mPHA
in
the
schools,
we're
all
working
in
close
collaboration
talking
about
each
individual
families
and
their
needs,
identifying
their
barriers
and
figuring
out
solutions
together
to
solve
the
issues
that
they
face
in
becoming
stable
housed.
M
Our
families
we're
finding
are
not
necessarily
families
who
would
be
in
the
current
systems.
Many
of
our
families
are
those
folks
who
have
been
couch
hopping,
wouldn't
necessarily
necessarily
qualify
for
other
programs
or
may
have
not
been
identified
yet
so
many
of
the
families
are
folks
who
are
deeply
deeply
grateful
for
the
opportunities
and
it's
been
really
exciting
to
see
them
gain
housing.
M
The
program
has
been
quick
and
responsive.
Our
staff
respond
to
all
referrals
and
connect
with
the
families
within
24
hours
of
the
referral
to
us
the
housing
search
time
once
people
hit
the
streets
and
start
looking
for
housing
has
been
about
thirty
nine
days
to
house
a
family,
compare
that
with
our
normal
voucher
family
who's
out
on
the
street,
without
the
supports
that
this
intensive
program
has
can
take
up
to
120
days.
So
the
program
is
working.
M
Its
efficient
average
housing
stability
fund
payments
are
completed
with
11
within
11
days,
compared
to
a
longer
time
for
other
forms
of
emergency
assistance.
Oftentimes
we're
able
to
get
a
letter
of
guarantee
out
to
a
property
owner
or
a
company
that
is
waiting
for
a
payment
on
the
family
within
24
to
48
hours,
and
then
those
checks
are
processed
in
our
next
check
runs
so
that
money
with
the
Poulet
fund
has
been
very
efficient.
We've
had
extremely
good
buy-in
from
property
owners,
and
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
we
identified
right
away.
M
When
we
started
this
write
was
that
we
needed
property
owners
to
step
up
with
units.
The
mayor
worked
with
MHA
to
attract
new
property
owners.
We've
done
a
lot
of
programmatic
work
in
outreach
to
property
owners,
direct
marketing,
and
today
there
have
been
29
new
units
that
have
been
brought
forward
that
wouldn't
have
otherwise
been
in
the
mix
for
these
families
because
of
the
marketing
efforts.
M
The
YMCA
case
management
goes
beyond
just
helping
the
families
who
find
the
housing
it's
follow-up
supports
and
helping
with
barriers
that
led
them
to
be
homeless.
In
the
first
place,
one
of
the
wonderful
things
about
the
Y
as
a
partner
is
that
they
actually,
in
many
cases,
are
already
aware
of
the
families
because
of
their
work
in
the
after-school
programs
for
the
schools,
so
oftentimes
they're
already
involved
in
the
child's
life
and
have
been
able
to
expand
that
to
the
entire
family.
So
that
has
been
exciting.
M
M
Fifty-Eight
of
the
families
were
eligible
and
at
the
time
of
this
report,
20
were
in
process
31
out
searching
and
7
families
had
been
housed.
As
of
today,
however,
our
current
numbers
are
19
families
that
have
been
housed
and
there
are
22
who
are
out
searching
with
that
assistance
from
the
YMCA
for
the
housing
stability
fund.
We
had
55
referrals
in
that
first
quarter.
49
families
were
eligible
13
of
those
were
in
process.
At
the
time
of
the
report,
13
approved
in
23
received
assistance.
However,
as
of
today,
we
have
assisted
40
families
and
20.
M
More
payments
are
in
process
pending,
so
those
numbers
have
increased
significantly.
I
think
the
remarkable
thing
is
the
very
bottom
number,
which
is
the
rental
assistance
program.
There
are
already
193
children
that
are
being
served
through
this
help
in
164
children
whose
lives
have
been
stabilized
by
the
housing
state.
Councilmember.
G
Thank
you
for
the
presentation
so
far,
I'm
excited
to
see
the
rest
of
it.
Just
have
a
question
about
the
folks
who
are
ineligible,
I,
get
it
anytime.
You
have
a
program
that
has
criteria
there,
gonna
be
people
who
aren't
eligible,
but
could
you
help
explain
sort
of
what?
What
would
make
someone
ill
ineligible,
yeah.
M
So
for
the
rental
assistance
piece
of
it,
it
may
be
that
they're
already
receiving
other
federal
subsidies,
and
we
can't
double
up
on
that
subsidy
piece
of
it.
It
may
be
that
they
were
over
income
and
there
may
have
been
an
instance
or
two
where
there
was
a
they
had
already
been
on
a
program
and
because
of
the
way
the
program
was
terminated,
they
didn't
qualify
for
the
new
help.
Now
we
don't
just
and
the
process
there
if
they're
not
eligible
for
that
piece
of
it.
M
They're
still
referred
to
the
life
or
services,
we're
still
actively
trying
to
help
those
families
identify
either
other
means
of
help
or
addressing
the
barriers
that
they
still
face.
So
we're
not
just
you
know,
dropping
the
the
relationship
there
for
the
housing
stability
fund,
anything
that
would
have
been
a
program
denial
there
would
have
revolved
around.
M
D
M
Just
real
quickly,
this
is
children
served
by
age
and
I.
Think
if
you
look
at
all
of
the
studies,
show
that
you
want
to
target
children
under
the
age
of
12
to
have
the
most
impact
on
the
lives
for
their
future,
and
this
is
exactly
what
this
slide
is
showing
that
we
are
right
in
that
ballpark
of
the
six
to
twelve
age.
Children
are
the
ones
who
are
being
impacted
the
most
by
the
program.
M
This
just
shows
the
growth
of
the
program
similar
to
the
numbers
I
discussed
earlier,
but
you
can
see
that
we
had
an
initial
ramp
up
in
April
in
May
in
ongoing
reports
will
show
that
this
continues
to
grow.
I
wanted
to
show
you
this
information,
because
it
shows
that
we're
not
just
in
one
area
of
the
city.
We
really
are
having
an
impact
citywide,
and
you
can
see
that
the
schools
in
all
areas
of
the
city
are
being
served
and
people
are
being
housed
in
many
areas
are.
A
M
F
So
before
we
close,
we
just
wanted
to
also
touch
touch
on
the
plan
for
evaluation.
So,
as
you
can
see,
we're
tracking
a
number
of
different
data
points
already,
but
another
important
piece
we
wanted
to
track
is
school
performance,
and
so
many
appleís
public
schools
is
tracking
a
number
of
the
items
here.
Looking
at
things
like
increased
parent
engagement,
behavior
at
school
and
academic
indicators,
we
won't
likely
have
early
results
for
that
information
until
maybe
middle
of
the
school
year,
this
upcoming
year
or
next
spring,
and
but
just
wanted
to.
F
Let
you
know
that
these
are
all
things
we
will
be
looking
at
to
evaluate
the
outcomes
of
the
program.
Additionally,
we
are
still
working
with
the
University
of
Minnesota
on
a
research
plan
for
a
more
robust
evaluation
of
the
program,
because
they
already
had
plans
underway
to
evaluate
similar
rental
assistance
programs
at
the
state
level,
so
we're
partnering
to
to
be
able
to
participate
in
that
robust
evaluation.
F
F
Another
thing
our
team
has
talked
about
is
creating
a
family
Advisory
Council
that
can
also
advise
the
program
partners
on
ways
to
improve
the
program,
and
we
anticipate
that
a
family
from
that
council
would
also
be
part
of
our
steering
committee.
Our
next
steering
committee
meeting
is
scheduled
for
September,
and
then
we
expect
to
be
back
here
with
another
quarterly
report
in
October
and
hopefully
we'll
have
even
bigger
numbers
to
share
at
that
point
and
I
just
want
to
acknowledge.
There
are
project
partners
here
from
Minneapolis
Public
Schools
and
in
Hennepin
County.
F
G
K
G
M
M
The
the
way
that
the
program
was
budgeted
was
really
around
how
many
families
could
we
serve
with
that
amount
of
money?
We
based
it
on
an
average
cost
of
a
rental
assistance
that
varies
by
family,
so
it
really
depends
on
the
situation
of
the
family,
whether
we're
paying
three
hundred
dollars
or
seven
hundred
dollars.
You
know
so
there's
a
little
bit
of
variability
there,
but
the
target
was
that
the
three
little
over
three
million
dollars
was
enough
money
to
house
and
provide
support
services
for
up
to
three
hundred
and
twenty
families.
M
Once
that
number
is
hit,
then
we
would
anticipate
that
money
would
start
to
spend
itself
down
and
there's
enough
money
in
the
three
year
commitment
to
house
that
number
of
families
over
the
three
years.
You
know
our
hope
is
that
it's
not
a
permanent
subsidy
for
the
family
that
they
can
once
they
have
been
stabilized
and
worked
with
Hawaii
on
identifying
other
means
of
support
that
they
could
decrease
the
amount
of
subsidy
that
they
would
need
as
they
gain
income
or
employment.
M
G
Okay,
thank
you.
I
know
that
we're
you
know
we're
sort
of
in
that
ramp-up
period,
but
if
I'm
looking
at
it
correct
we're
over
halfway
through
the
year
and
we're
looking
at
a
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
spent
so
far,
how
quickly
do
you
know
come
October?
Are
we
looking
at
that
to
jump
up,
spend
five
times
that
much
or
what
are
we
sort
of
projecting
yeah.
M
So
I
mean
we're
continuing
to
add
folks
to
the
program.
Every
day
like
I
said,
there's
over
20
that
are
out
looking
and
those
numbers
can
start
to
add
up
pretty
quickly
as
people
are
housed
in
those
rental
payments
are
made
every
month,
I
don't
think
we'll
be
at
five
times
the
amount
by
October.
You
know
it
took
us
a
little
longer
to
get
started
this
spring
than
we
had
hoped,
but
the
reality
is.
This
was
something
that
we
in
concept
talked
about
a
year
ago
in
August.
M
So
you
know
to
be
here
a
year
later
and
to
have
folks
being
housed
is
I.
Think
a
pretty
tremendous
effort
by
the
partners,
it's
hard
to
predict
how
many
of
those
families
will
be
successful
in
their
housing
search,
but
I
would
anticipate
in
October
we'll
have
a
much
larger
number
of
dollars
spent
for
the
program
and
we
will
be
able
to
budget
out.
You
know
what
that
would
look
like
for
that
final
quarter
of
of
the
year
and
then
it'll
be
up
to
the
city
how
the
leftover
funds
are
allocated.
G
G
That
continues
to
be
kind
of
an
active
concern
that
I
have,
and
you
know,
I
I,
wonder,
like
you
said,
the
the
the
inception
of
this
concept
is
was
about
a
year
ago,
right
and
I'm
concerned.
If,
if
you
know
this
sort
of
this
three-year
commitment,
maybe
it
should
have
been
over
the
course
of
nine
years
right.
Maybe
I
should
have
been
I'm
concerned
that
maybe
we
are
over
resource
this
program,
where
we
didn't
really
have
the
ability
to
like
meet
the
need
or
meet
the
capacity
that
we
were
looking
for.
G
M
You
know
the
pohlad
funds
have
been
an
amazing
help
for
this
program,
in
our
hope
is
that,
over
time
that
this
can
be
come,
something
that
is
sustainable,
that
is
working
that
shows
government
working
in
new
collaborative
ways
with
each
other
that
are
a
little
bit
unheard
of,
and
that
because
of
the
program
and
the
story
that
we
have
to
tell
with
it,
it
will
attract
other
and
wait
other
means
and
financial
support
as
well.
So
thank.
A
You
for
your
time,
I
had
a
couple
of
quick
questions.
One
was
I'm
curious
about
the
landlords
and
is
it
a
smaller
landlords
or
they're
duplexes
and
triplexes?
Is
it
a
few
apartment
buildings
that
have
done
that?
Do
we
have
any
kind
of
idea
about
what
it
is?
You
mentioned,
there's
22
new
landlords
who
came
to
participate
in
I'm,
just
curious
if
it's
a
mix
or
if
it
ended
up
landing
on
one
or
two
types
of
right.
M
So
sure
Gordon
we
have,
we
do
have
a
mix.
There
are
some
larger
property
management
companies
that
did
step
up
with
some
units,
but
the
reality
is
many
of
these
folks.
If
you
see
the
number
of
children
are
larger
families,
so
they
have
tended
to
be
rentals
of
single-family
homes,
and
so
that's
been
great,
and
but
there
have
been
kind
of
a
mixture
of
each.
A
And
my
other
question
had
to
do
with
the
school,
the
map
of
the
schools
and
it
looked
like
all
we
were
noting
was
the
successes
where
there
had
been
success
and
I
was.
It
might
be
useful
in
the
future
to
see
all
the
schools
on
the
map.
So
we
know
where
nobody's
gotten
housing
from
and
then
to
understand.
Why
has
nobody
applied?
N
I
also
want
to
just
really
into
the
questions
about
sustainability.
I
do
want
to
say
I'm
really
glad
to
see
that
councilmembers
are
actively
involved
now.
I
think
that's
really
important
for
program
sustainability
as
we
approve
the
budgets
and
and
the
policy
for
the
city
housing
so
that
involvement,
I,
think
is
critical
to
maintaining
the
sustainability
of
any
program
and
I
do
also
hope
in
future.
N
I'm
sure
we
don't
have
the
data
yet,
but
the
more
that
we
can
understand
about
this
question
about
how
how
long
do
families
need
resources
and
how
is
this
tying
into
other
supportive
programs
I?
Think
the
better
we'll
be
able
to
plan
ahead
and
understand
what
this
this
investment
looks
like,
particularly
in
the
context
of
you
know
we're
hearing
from
our
public
housing
authority
about
budget
holes
and
our
own,
affordable
housing
needs,
and
so
many
competing
resources
to
understand
how
this
fits
into
that
bigger
picture.
N
So
when
we're
getting
budget
requests
from
from
mPHA,
understandably,
we've
already
made
a
9
million
dollar
investment
in
this
program.
So
just
trying
to
weigh
those
priorities,
so
I'm
excited
to
see
the
very
preliminary
numbers,
but
I
think
over
time.
It
would
be
helpful
to
understand
some
of
those
details,
knowing
it's
a
small
sample
size
so
I
understand.
But
if
there's
anything
you
know
from
other
programs
about
how
long
it
takes
folks
to
get
you
know,
kind
of
to
not
be
using
the
program
or
reduce
their
number
of
the
amount
of
voucher
assistance.
A
It
was
a
comment
leaving
a
question.
Any
other
comments.
Your
questions
posed
wonders
seeing
none
then
I
