went
and
now
pass
it
over
to
colleen

our
other
co-chairs
for

next
piece
of
our
agenda.
Q
Thank
you
joey
and
it's
nice
to
see
all
again
lots
of
returning
faces
and
lots
of
new
faces
as
well,
so
welcome
to
the
committee
welcome
to
a
new
year
and
we're
excited
to
work
together.
So
this
is
the
point
in
our
agenda
where
we
have
an
opportunity
for
public
comment.
So
if
you
are
here
on
this
committee
today
to
if
you're,
not
a
committee,
member
and
you're
here
to
make
a
public
comment,
this
is
the
opportunity
to
do
so.
Q
Just
as
a
reminder,
this
is
an
advisory
committee,
so
we're
not
a
decision-making
committee,
but
rather
we
advise
the
city
council,
the
mayor's
office
in
the
city
as
to
you
know,
things
that
are
going
on
in
the
community
that
they
want
to
hear
about
and
related
to
housing
so
to
the
extent
possible.
We
ask
that
your
comments,
that
any
public
comments
be
directed
towards
agenda
items
that
are
on
our
agenda
today
and
the
public
comment
is
limited
to
about
one
minute
per
person.
Q
So
if
you
want
to
make
a
public
comment,
you
push
star
six
to
unmute
yourself
or
actually
katie.
I'm
not
sure
that
you,
you
haven't
muted
people.
Yet
today
right
so
I
think
you
might
be
able
to
just
speak,
but
please
say
your
your
full
name
and
then
you
can
go
ahead
and
make
a
public
comment.
So.
C
Yep,
my
name
is
andrew.
I'm
from
the
ninth
ward,
okay,
look
in
2017
jacob
fry
committed
to
ending
homelessness
in
five
years,
and
numbers
have
only
increased
since
then.
Promises
don't
end
homelessness.
Incentives
and
weak
reforms
don't
end
homelessness.
C
We
can't
evict
and
sweep
our
way
out
of
homelessness
during
a
pandemic
and
race
and
wealth
disparities,
don't
magically
disappear
with
more
production
of
housing.
Your
work
is
to
support
and
expand
deeper
systemic
interventions
and
transformative
changes
to
the
housing
market
itself.
You
need
to
stop
the
white
corporate
real
estate
forces
who
have
extracted
the
most
profit
in
wealth
from
housing
inequality
and
who
continue
to
profit.
C
To
this
day,
you
need
to
center
preference,
allow
leadership
from
and
reverse
the
exploitation
of,
the
unhoused
and
of
renters
of
color,
who
are
displacing
displ,
who
are
facing
displacement
every
day.
That
means
policies
like
universal
three
percent:
rent
control,
an
openly
assignable
tenant
opportunity
to
purchase
banning
bulk
corporate
sales
of
property
and
more
eviction
protection,
real
effect,
real
families,
real
people
and
most
of
all,
our
kids
bear
the
brunt
of
this
housing,
health
and
economic
crisis.
They're
counting
on
you
to
help
advise
on
reversing
the
very
intended
consequences
of
profit-based
market
displacement.
Q
S
My
comment
it
has
to
do
with
help
with
the
rental
payment
and
since
I,
since
I
live
in
subsidized
housing,
I'm
not
I'm
not
eligible
to
get
the
rental
assistance
from
all
the
organization
which
is
helping
with
the
pandemic
assistance
rental
and
they
say
since
you
live
in
public
housing,
you're
not
eligible.
S
S
Q
So
we
can
give
a
couple
resources
generally,
just
we're
not
doing
a
lot
of
response,
but
I
do
want
to
make
sure
to
give
you
a
couple
resources
to
make
sure
you
have
that.
So
a
couple
things
one
I
mean
joey,
you
might
want
to
just
jump
in
as
an
attorney
and
talk
about
the
eviction
moratorium
and
then
they
there
are
some
sources
of
additional
funding.
I'm
not,
I
don't
know
every
single
one
of
them
and
you.
Q
You
are
right
that
some
of
the
federal
stimulus
and
some
of
the
government
dollars
that
were
available
through
a
lot
of
programs
did
limit
those
with
subsidized
housing,
because
the
idea
was
there
was
already
some
assistance.
Q
So
I
know
they
were
trying
to
stretch
that,
but
perhaps
we
could
take,
we
either
take
your
name
or
we
could
give
you
a
phone
number
from
one
of
the
minneapolis
staff
people
to
call,
and
we
can
try
to
get
you
connected
with
others
who
might
be
able
to
give
some
assistance
kelly
or
katie.
Would
would
you
be
willing
to
give
your
phone
numbers
or
one
of
yours.
A
S
T
A
Yeah
yeah,
it's
six
one,
two,
three,
six,
four,
four,
six,
five,
seven
and
your
name
was
it's
katie.
A
Okay,
yes,
if
you
call
me,
I
can
get
you
connected
to
like
legal
aid
and
then
any
other
resources
that
we
may
be
aware
of.
So
yes,
please,
please
do
call
and
then.
Q
Right
and
then
joey
do
you
want
to
just
give
a
quick,
quick
update
here
on
the
eviction,
moratorium
and
just
legal
options.
K
Sure,
absolutely
and
thanks
amina
for
bringing
up
those
concerns
about
access
to
the
various
rental
assistance
programs
that
are
out
there
right
now
and
yeah,
like
colleen
mentioned
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
were
aware
that
right
now,
eviction
cases
for
not
paying
rent
are
on
pause.
Your
landlord,
even
if
it's
public
housing,
can't
kick
people
out
of
their
homes
right
now
and
go
through
that
court
process.
K
If
the
sole
issue
is,
they
can't
afford
their
rent
right
now.
There
are
some
exceptions.
There
are
some
evictions
that
are
moving
forward
for
other
things
right
now,
but
I
would
be
happy
to
consult
with
you
directly.
Katie
obviously
feel
free
to
either
give
my
direct
information
to
amina
or
to
the
legal
aid
intake
line.
So
thanks
for
being
here-
and
it
looks
like
our
member
from
minnesota,
public
housing
authority
has
a
response
to
amina
so
jeff.
If
you
want
to
share
now
too.
M
Sure
I
can
provide
a
quick
update
on
that
and
yeah.
It's
in
fact,
public
housing
is
committed,
if
not
more
committed
than
anybody.
I
think
to
making
sure
that
people
can
remain
in
their
homes
as
long
as
possible.
So
so
believe
me,
it's
our.
Our
interest
is
to
figure
out
how
we
can
work
out
agreements,
so
people
can
stay.
M
I
did
want
to
give
a
brief
update
on
that,
because
yeah
colleen
is
right
that
the
initial
rounds
of
rental
assistance
that
we've
seen
have
excluded
people
who
have
other
forms
of
subsidy
on
the
logic
that
your
rents,
rental
payment,
will
go
down
if
you
have
an
income
loss
or
if
you
have
extra
child
care
expenses,
those
sorts
of
things-
and
that
is
still
the
case
so
that'd
be.
The
first
thing-
is
to
make
absolutely
sure
that
you've
been
in
touch
with
the
housing
authority
to
make
any
adjustments.
M
But
the
other
part
is
that
minneapolis
is
about
to
get
its
piece
of
the
next
round
of
rental
assistance
that
congress
passed
at
the
end
of
the
year.
I
think
about
25
million
dollars
is
heading
to
the
city
of
minneapolis.
Don't
quote
me
on
that,
but
I
think
that's
about
it.
It's
a
decent
amount
of
money.
The
city
will
be
administering
that
in
some
form
of
fashion
the
details
are
still
being
worked
out,
but
this
question
about
eligibility
for
people
who
have
other
forms
of
subsidy
is
un
undetermined
at
this
time.
M
So
a
lot
of
people
a
lot
of
housing
authorities
all
over
the
country
are
trying
to
get
the
treasury
department
to
articulate
its
interpretation
of
what
is
written
in
the
statute,
which
does
not
appear
in
our
view,
to
eliminate
people
with
other
forms
of
subsidy
from
eligibility
if
they
need
it.
If
they've
exhausted,
the
other
ability
of
you
know
your
public
housing
subsidy
to
help
you.
M
In
our
view,
you
should
be
eligible
for
the
program,
so
that
guidance
is
going
to
flow
to
the
state
and
then
down
to
the
city
and
we're
hoping
that
the
right
decision
gets
made
and
that
there
is
a
path
for
you
and
others.
Probably
at
some
point
in
february.
We
think,
is
the
timing
to
be
able
to
have
access
to
that
to
help
if
you
are
behind
on
rent
payments.
So
I
thought
that
update
would
be
maybe
of
interest
to
the
whole
committee,
since
I
think
we
talked
about
this
last
time
as
well.
Q
Great
thank
you
jeff
and
joey
and
katie
and
amina.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
call
and
I
well.
I
hope
that
you
can
get
get
in
touch
with
katie
and
then
hopefully
some
people
will
be
able
to
help
you
out.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
calling
today
thank.
Q
S
Since
this
is
my
first
time,
maybe
the
second
time
that
I
called
the
number
for
the
housing
committee
meeting
advisory
meeting.
So
when
you
start
the
meeting
at
the
beginning,
is
there
a
way
maybe
to
introduce
what
type
of
meeting
is
going
on?
What
are
the
issues
or
what
is
the
agenda
about
because
otherwise,
I'm
clueless
to
know
what
is
going
on?
That's
all.
Q
So
so
the
agenda
for
each
meeting
is
posted
on
the
city's
website.
Okay,
and
so
that
is
the
best
place
to
go,
and
it's
always
posted
several
days
beforehand
and
I
don't
have
katie.
Do
you
have
the
link
offhand
yeah.
A
It's
on
the
city's
legislative,
it's
called
limbs.
Let
me
just
find
it's
just
limbs:
l-I-m-s
dot,
minneapolismnn.gov.
A
So
if
you
go
to
that
website,
you
can
find
it
through
there
on
the
calendar,
but
when
you,
when
you
call
me,
I
can
also
walk
you
through
this
a
little
bit
more
closely
to
help
to
show
you
where
it
is.
Thank
you
for.
Q
Much
and
good
luck,
bye-bye
bye,
all
right,
so
that
closes
our
public
comment
period
and
I'm
now
going
to
hand
the
hand
it
over
to
brenda
who
is
going
to
introduce
council
member
gordon.
U
Hello,
everybody,
my
name
is
brenda
and
I'm
vice
chair.
If
councilman
gordon
is
on
the
line,
I
would
really
appreciate
everybody
give
him
a
warm
welcome
because
he's
an
awesome
guy,
councilman,
gardner
dan.
V
I'm
here
yeah,
thank
you
so
much
yeah.
I
just
wanted
to
come
and
celebrate
this
first
meeting
with
with
you
all
it's
great
to
see
so
many
people
returning
for
more
I've
already
been
on.
The
committee
also
see
some
new
faces
here.
Folks,
I
know
from
other
areas
of
the
city
and
I've
worked
with
on
some
other
issues.
V
This
is
a
really
difficult
time
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
especially
in
terms
of
the
housing
crisis.
We
really
need
to
be
all
hands
on
deck
to
make
a
difference,
and
it's
as
as
challenging
as
that
is.
It
also
means
we
have
a
great
opportunity
here
and
I
think,
with
this
year
we're
going
to
see
more
interest
and
more
willingness
to
make
more
changes
than
we've
ever
seen
before
years
ago.
V
It
was
difficult
to
get
anybody
looking
at
how
we
could
open
up
emergency
shelters,
they
were
afraid
of
it
and
they
wanted
bigger,
spacing
requirements
more
recently,
when
we
amended
our
emergency
shelter
ordinance
to
make
it
more
possible
to
do
more
shelters
people
throughout
the
city
celebrated.
They
see
the
need
for
this,
like
we
never
have
seen
it
before,
and
the
need
for
flexibility
and
the
need
for
innovation.
V
We
today
me
and
some
of
my
colleagues
just
announced
10
an
opportunity
to
purchase
effort
that
we're
coming
forward
with
and
also
a
rent
stabilization
effort.
So
these
will
be
big
issues
that
you
all
can
help
us
figure
out
how
to
do
right
as
we
move
forward.
V
The
rent
stabilization
will
take
a
few
years
because
we
need
a
vote
from
the
public
because
of
state
preemptions
that
require
that,
but
the
tenant
opportunity
to
purchase
that's
something
coming
up
soon
too
we're
working
on
other
things
too,
like
bringing
back
rooming
houses
to
the
city.
So
we
can
now
have
new
single
room,
occupancy
rooming
houses
as
a
solution
to
this
problem
to
create
real,
affordable
and
quality
housing.
For
folks,
I
want
you
to
know
that
my
door
is
always
open.
V
You've
also
got
my
right
hand
guy
robin
garwood,
who
attends
all
of
these
meetings
and
he's
a
good
strategic
thinker,
he's
going
to
have
good
advice
about
how
to
get
your
issues
brought
forward
to
the
council
to
pay
attention
to
them.
So
I
don't
want
you
just
to
wait
for
the
ideas
to
come
from
the
council
in
the
policies,
but
it's
really
important
too,
that
you
figure
out
what
you
think
the
city
should
be
doing
too
and
come
up
with
ideas
about
ways
to
improve
you're.
V
Quite
a
eclectic
group,
your
folks
from
all
different
areas
of
the
housing
spectrum.
So
that's
going
to
be
particularly
challenging
to
listen
to
one
another,
to
be
open-minded
with
each
other
and
to
help
build
the
best
advice
that
can
come
forward
to
us.
It's
you
kind
of
do
a
service
for
the
council
and
I
think
for
the
community
by
doing
that
for
us
and
bringing
those
perspectives
to
the
table,
and
I
really
appreciate
that.
U
Did
you
raise
your
hand,
calling
someone
had
raised
their
hand?
Let
me
look.
B
So
looking
today,
councilmember
gordon
at
the
briefing
docs
regarding
rent
stabilization,
it
appears
that
within
the
next
month,
there's
going
to
have
to
be
a
council
vote
on
the
charter
amendment
in
order
to
get
to
the
commission
in
a
timely
fashion.
Is
that
true.
B
V
B
There
going
to
be
a
policy
discussion
around
the
charter
amendment
or
and
community
engagement
on
that,
or
it's
just
going
to
happen.
V
There
has
been,
we
there'll,
be
a
study
session
on
it
coming
up
at
the
end
of
the
month
and
then
they'll
also
be
a
public
hearing,
so
they'll
be
that
it's
fairly
on
a
fairly
fast
track,
because
it
has
to
the
charter.
Commission
has
a
certain
period
of
time.
They
can
review
it
and
we
want
to
make
sure
to
give
them
all
the
time
that
they
need.
Q
V
So
I
don't
have
the
dates
right
in
front
of
me.
We
got
a
preliminary
report
back
some
council
members
did
and
and
just
this
week,
but
the
study
session
will
be
coming
up
near
the
end
of
january.
Robin
do
you
know
the
date.
W
Of
the
dates
that
we've
got
that
we're
looking
at
is
february
23rd
for
a
study
session,
but
that
hasn't
been
completely
set
yet,
but
sometime
in
late
february,
around
the
same
time
that
the
the
public
hearing
would
be
and
just
to
be
to
be
clear,
cecil,
the
the
charter
amendment
is,
is
going
to
be
pretty
minimal.
It's
not
going
to
have
any
of
the
policy
details.
It
just
sets
up
the
process
by
which
a
rent
stabilization
policy
can
be
adopted
later
on.
J
I
was
just
wondering
if
this
committee
would
be
able
to
weigh
in
at
all
on
that.
V
Right
now,
the
charter
amendment
we're
looking
at
would
provide
two
options
for
getting
a
rent
stabilization.
J
K
I'm
so
sorry
I
just
wanted
to
share
as
a
co-chair,
at
least
of
the
previous
term,
who's
been
helping
set
agendas.
We
can
absolutely
make
time
on
our
february
agenda.
I
I
believe
our
meeting
is
at
least
tentatively
planned
for
february
to
be
february
11th,
which
would
be
in
advance
of
any
any.
You
know,
vote
or
even
advance
of
the
study
session,
so
we'll
certainly
talk
and
make
an
effort
to
make
sure
that
our
committee
has
as
much
of
a
chance
as
possible
to
weigh
in.
W
So
so
topaz
already
underway.
I
don't
know
that,
there's
anything
more,
that
we
have
done
on
that
since
the
we
got
the
report
from
lisk
and
their
partner
last
month,
but
we
are
also
getting
notice
of
intent
tomorrow
on
eviction
protections.
So
st
paul
recently
did
passed
a
just
cause.
Eviction,
ordinance
and
st
louis
park
recently
enacted
a
payer
quit
or
pre-eviction
notification
ordinance,
and
so
we
gave
we're
giving
notice
tomorrow
on
on
putting
both
of
those
ideas
forward
as
well.
T
Just
explaining
that
the
notice
of
intent
to
introduce
is
not
necessarily
language
right
in
front
of
it,
but
it
really
is
sort
of
a
heads
up
that
this
is
a
conversation
that
we
want
to
have.
I
just
think
that
might
help
people
understand
that
there's
a
there.
That
means
that
we
have
a
lot
of
starting
point
in
a
longer
time
to
sort
of
just
discuss.
Although
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
on
these
as
we're
already
so.
A
Yeah
and
last
year-
or
maybe
it
was
the
year
before
for
the
beginning
of
the
term-
for
our
our
last
committee,
we
did
have
casey
carl
come
and
do
an
overview
of
the
city's
legislative
process,
and
we
talked
about
doing
that
for
today.
Couldn't
get
it
on
the
agenda,
but
we
can
certainly
do
that
for
this
group
as
well.
I
think
it
was
pretty
helpful
just
to
understand
how
the
process
works
for
passing
ordinances
in
the
city.
G
U
A
Yeah
thanks
and
just
to
note,
I
know
on
the
agenda
mayor
frye
is
also
going
to
be
stopping
in
the
meeting
to
to
give
a
a
welcome
to
the
group
as
well.
So
once
he
is
here,
we
will
let
him
talk,
but
that
is
still
coming
on
the
agenda
for
those
of
you
who
have
seen
that
there.
A
So
yes,
I
just
had
a
couple
of
announcements
for
the
group
on
some
housekeeping
things.
So
one
is,
as
we've
already
mentioned,
joey
colleen
and
brenda
were
our
our
co-chairs
last
year
for
the
committee,
and
so
they
have
agreed
to
continue
kind
of
doing
this
until
we
select
leadership
for
the
new
committee,
so
we
will
be
officially
adopting
new
committee
leadership,
and
so
we
actually
didn't
decide.
A
I
guess
if
we
should
be
letting
people
having
people
kind
of
put
their
name
forward
in
february
and
then
voting
on
it
in
march
or
if
or
if
we
just
want
to
do
it
in
february.
But
I
guess
maybe
this
so
others
can
chime
in
on
what
they
think
the
best
process
is.
A
But
if
you
are
interested
in
helping
to
be
a
leader
for
the
meeting,
please
consider
that
and
just
so
you
know,
and
then
maybe
brenda
joey
or
colleen
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
like
what
the
time
commitment
is
like.
But
the
the
leadership
team
does
help
staff
set
the
agendas
for
every
meeting
so
play
a
role
in
deciding
what
topics
the
committee
should
be
discussing
and
helping
kind
of
make
sure
that
priorities
of
committee
members
are
being
addressed,
and
then
the
leadership
team
also
will
give.
A
You
know
help
with
the
annual
report
that
this
committee
gives
to
council
and
and
may
present
that
to
council
and
then
some
other
things,
maybe
like
emailing
comments
that
the
committee
has
agreed
upon
on
different
policies,
emailing,
those
or
presenting
them
to
the
council
in
some
way
or
another.
So
that's
kind
of
the
role
of
the
leadership
team.
I
think
the
bulk
of
it
is
really
helping
to
set
the
agendas
and
then,
of
course,
obviously
running
the
meeting
itself.
K
This
is
joey
I'll
just
say
I
it
correct
me
brenda
and
colleen
if
you
think
this
is
misstating
it
typically,
as
katie
said,
the
leadership
team,
along
with
the
staff
who
help
with
all
the
organizational
pieces
of
this
committee,
meet
typically
at
least
once
sometimes
twice
between
each
monthly
meeting.
K
Usually
we
meet
shortly
after
the
meeting
to
kind
of
get
anything
we
agreed
to
do
in
the
meeting
off
off
and
running,
put
anything
together,
draft
anything
and
then
sometimes
we'll
meet
one
more
time
briefly
right
before
a
meeting
just
to
make
sure
we're
on
the
same
page,
and
we
have
the
plan
set.
So
that's
kind
of
the
time
commitment,
sometimes
there's
a
little
bit
of
drafting
or
a
little
bit
of
work.
K
Otherwise,
but
that's
typic
a
typical
month,
I
would
say-
and
maybe
I
would
suggest
it
is
on
our
agenda
for
later
this
meeting-
to
review
our
bylaws
so
that
people
sort
of
know
what
we've
agreed
to
as
a
committee
for
our
structure,
you'll
see
that
we
intentionally
left
them
somewhat
vague
or
open
in
a
few
spaces,
including,
for
example,
we
didn't
delineate
the
exact
number
of
leaders
doesn't
have
to
be
co-chairs.
It
could
be.
K
You
know
a
chair
and
a
vice
chair.
It
could
be
three
co-chairs,
so
I
would
maybe
suggest,
as
we're
discussing
bylaws
later
in
this
meeting
today.
At
that
point,
once
we
know
kind
of
what
the
rules
are,
then
we
can
decide
how
we
want
to
go
about.
Selecting
the
next
term's
leadership,
yeah.
A
I
think
that's
a
good
suggestion,
so
the
other
announcement
I
just
wanted
to
make
here
is
that
everyone,
so
thank
you
all
for
very
quickly
getting
your
oath
of
office
done
this
week.
I
really
appreciate
that.
The
other
thing
that
every
member
is
required
to
do
is
ethics
training.
Now
I
will
let
the
I
believe
all
of
the
returning
members
are
okay
right
now.
I
will
verify
that
and
send
out
an
email,
but
the
ethics
training
is
good
for
either
three
or
four
years.
A
So
all
of
you
returning
members
should
be
you,
don't
I
don't
think
you're
gonna
have
to
retake
it
right
now,
but
the
new
members
will
have
to
do
it.
It's
fairly,
quick,
it's
an
online
course
and
then
there's
just
a
little
certificate.
You
have
to
fill
out
at
the
end
and
I
think
at
least
one
or
two
people
have
already
done
it.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that.
A
I
will
send
some
email
instructions
out
about
that,
but
just
if
you
can
do
that
as
soon
as
you
have
the
chance
to
do
it
and
I'll
also
send
there's
some
tricky
stuff
with
the
system.
At
the
end
you
have
to
select
which
committee
you're
part
of-
and
our
committee
is
not
listed
because
this
was
created
before
our
committee
existed
and
they
haven't
updated
it
since
then,
so
you
have
to
say
you're
a
guest,
so
I
will
put
that
in
an
email
to
you
too.
A
So
you
don't
have
to
remember
that,
but
just
a
heads
up
on
that.
So
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say.
I
think
I'm
I'm
not
sure
we
have
a
strict
deadline
on
the
ethics
training,
but
please
just
do
it
as
quickly
as
you
can.
I
think
it
takes
less
than
a
half
hour
from
what
I
recall
so
and
then
again
for
returning
members.
I
will
send
you
an
update
on
your
status,
but
I
believe
you'll
all
be
good
for
at
least
this
year,
so
that
was
it
for
my.
K
Announcements
all
right
thanks
katie,
so
I
feel
like
we've
gotten:
we've
done
a
lot
of
business,
see
things
in
the
40
minutes
and
I
haven't
even
gotten
to
meet
all
of
you
really
yet.
So
this
is
the
time
we
set
aside
time
on
our
agenda
today
for
us
for
those
of
us
who
don't
know
each
other
to
get
to
know
one
another.
So
now
at
this
point,
what
we'll
ask
will
go
around?
K
I
will
just
go
I'll,
probably
just
go
in
alphabetical
order,
because
it's
easiest,
that's
the
way
we're
listed
on
the
agenda
and
at
this
time,
we'd
welcome
you
to
share
your
name.
I
would
welcome
you
to
share
your
pronouns
any
if
you
are
affiliated
with
an
organization
or
a
business
entity,
feel
free
to
share
that
and
then
just
share.
Why
either
why
you
wanted
to
join
this
committee
or
what
you're
looking
forward
to
in
this
committee's
work
so
karina?
K
P
Hello,
all
my
name
is
karina
bowler
and
I
am
a
minneapolis
resident.
I
I'm
an
organizer,
a
community
organizer,
I'm
a
tenant
leader.
I
sit
on
a
organization
in
dc
for
save
our
homes.
P
I
love
the
work
of
housing.
I
love
the
challenges
that
comes
along
with
it.
My
commitment
is
aimed
to
keep
people
housed
and
hold
those
accountable,
and
I
just
I
want
to
see
this
committee
do
more
until
that
matter
was
helping
residents
stay
housed
and
holding
those
accountable
and
yeah.
That's
about
all.
For
me.
K
Thanks
so
much
karina,
and
I
would
just
another
reminder
that
maybe
katie
you
could
be
looking
to
make
sure
when
the
mayor
does
arrive,
that
we're
alerted
to
that
fact.
So
when
the
mayor
arrives,
we'll
pause
our
committee
member
introductions
again
and
and
hear
from
our
mayor.
So
next
alphabetically
bruce
brenner.
If
you
could
introduce
yourself,
please.
L
Hi,
my
name
is
bruce
brunner,
I'm
an
advocate
for
stable
home,
stable
schools
program
and
for
home
ownership
as
a
pathway
to
building
housing
security.
I
advocate
with
the
city
to
allow
more
housing
options
for
the
missing
middle
and
encourage
increased
density
as
we
don't
have
enough
places
for
people
to
live.
I
teach
individuals
and
families
how
to
get
into
home
ownership
through
buying
duplexes
and
triplexes
as
the
most
affordable
option
to
to
renting
I'm
a
general
contractor
who
builds
renovates
and
owns
duplexes
and
triplexes
to
create
safe,
healthy
places
to
live.
K
Great,
thank
you
so
much
bruce,
and
maybe
I
don't
know
colleen,
I
guess
I'll
just
throw
us
in
the
alphabetical
mix
and
go
ahead
and
continue
so
again
I'll,
introduce
myself
again
joey
dobson.
I
used
she
her
pronouns.
I
am
a
housing
attorney
with
mid
minnesota
legal
aid.
K
I've
been
with
legal
aid,
doing
our
all
of
our
eviction.
Defense
work,
our
housing
team
at
legal
aid
represents
renters
in
eviction
cases,
housing,
discrimination,
cases,
other
subsidy
issues,
other
landlord-tenant
issues,
legal
aid-
and
it
looks
like
the
mayor
is
with
us.
So
welcome.
We'll
pause
our
group
introductions
now
and
hear
from
mayor
fry,
so
mayor
frye.
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
out
of
your
day
to
be
with
our
housing
committee.
We
have
a
new
some
returning
and
some
new
members
with
us
today.
So
thanks
so
much
for
being
here.
X
You
got
it
well.
Thank
you,
first
of
all
for
having
me
and
second
of
all
for
your
service
for
those
that
are
returning.
I
would
greatly
appreciate
you
doing
another
term
and
for
those
that
are
just
starting,
let
me
just
emphasize
how
important
this
work
is
and
how
much
we
appreciate
your
service
here
you
know,
affordable
housing
has
been,
is
now
and
will
continue
to
be
my
number
one
priority.
X
That
is
my
passion.
That
is
the
reason
that
I
got
into
public
service
and
what
I
so
appreciated
about
this
group
is
the
is
the
level
and
caliber
of
talents
that
we
have
on
here.
Housing
is
not
a
simplistic
issue.
X
If
you're
really
going
to
confront
it
like
you
have
to
be
able
to
approach
it
in
terms
of
the
funding
mechanisms
in
terms
of
the
supply
in
terms
of
the
deep
and
level
of
affordability
in
terms
of
the
finding,
you
know
giving
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
that
next
rung
on
the
ladder
to
pull
themselves
out-
and
you
know
I
know
I'm
preaching
the
choir
here
a
little
bit,
but
I
think
it
is-
is
perhaps
the
most
foundational
intangible
element
of
equity.
X
You
know
I
I'm
a
believer
in
beautifully
diverse
neighborhoods
diversity
in
terms
of
of
use,
diversity
in
terms
of
of
race
and
ethnicity,
diversity
in
terms
of
housing
options
and
all
of
those
issues
are
intrinsically
linked.
So
the
work
that
I
understand
you
all
are
doing
is
is
finding
ways
to
just
accomplish
that
that
vision
of
inclusivity
and
of
that
foundational
element
of
housing.
X
So
again
you
know
I
I
I.
If
you
have
any
you
know
questions
I'm
I'm
certainly
happy
to
answer,
but
the
truth
is
is
that
the
the
great
answers
are
really
going
to
be
coming
from
you
in
these
coming
months?
X
So
you
know,
I
appreciate
staff
and
and
all
those
that
have
been
willing
to
really
step
up
and
to
inform
the
policy
development
that
we
will
we'll
we'll
move
forward
on,
and
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
this
is
not
like
a
faux
committee
where
you're
gonna
come
forward
with
a
bunch
of
recommendations
and
it'll
go
into
a
binder
and
sit
on
the
shelf
somewhere
in
the
basement.
That
is
not
this.
X
The
the
caliber
of
people
here
means
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
take
your
recommendations
and
figure
out
how
to
implement
them,
and
so
this
is
this
is
real.
You
are
doing
the
policy
work,
we're
going
to
be
collaborating
working
hand
in
hand,
and
so
thank
you.
I
really
greatly
appreciate
this.
This
work
and
it's
more
important
now
than
ever.
K
Thank
you
again
so
much
mayor
for
being
with
us
today
and
for
your
prioritization
of
of
housing.
One
quick
follow-up.
I
have
as
a
returning
member
of
this
committee.
Do
you
have
any
guidance
for
us
in
sort
of
the
how
how
we
specifically
provide
to
you
and
your
office
the
most
meaningful
recommendations,
feedback
input.
We've
done.
K
You
know,
we've
commented
on
a
number
of
proposed
ordinances
and
a
number
of
comments
to
counsel-
and
I
know
folks
from
your
office
join
this
meeting
regularly
as
well
and
are
you
know,
have
their
finger
on
the
pulse
of
what
we're
talking
about?
If
you
have
any
other
comments
about
how
best
we
can
provide
meaningful
and
you
know
be
serve
serving
our
advisory
role
to
the
mayor's
office,
that
would
be
welcome.
X
Well,
I
would
say
two
things:
one,
you
know
I
I
would
like
to
you
know
if,
if
you
come
forward
with,
you
know
substantially
substantial
policy
recommendations,
I'd
actually
like
to
have
a
direct
meeting
with
you
one,
but
two
on
the
day-to-day
work
that
you're
doing
I
know
andrea
inouye
is
is,
is
here
right
now
and
she's
an
extraordinary
member
of
our
staff,
and
she
briefs
me
very
very
regularly
on
the
work
that
you're
doing
so.
X
I
think
a
both
end
approach
there,
where
you're
working
regularly
with
andrea-
and
we
also
have
some
face
time
together-
where
we
can
go
over
and
kind
of
have
that
banter
back
and
forth
and
by
the
way
I
always
like
to
kind
of
have
the
the
discussion,
because
I
feel,
like
you'd,
ultimately
arrive
at
a
better
place
because
of
it.
X
So
you
know
the
the
the
back
and
forth
and
devil's
advocacy
is
often
helpful
to
me
just
to
better
understand
how
it
is
that
you're,
coming
to
the
recommendations
that
you
have.
K
Great
thanks
so
much
that's,
really
helpful
and
appreciate
the
the
resources
you
you
dedicate
with
having
andrea
with
us.
It's
been
really
helpful
on
a
number
of
occasions.
I
want
to
be
respectful
of
your
time,
but
if
any
of
the
committee
members
have
a
question
or
two,
if
you
have
a
moment,
if
folks
either
want
to
chime
in
unmute
yourself
or
or
use
the
raise
hand.
I
D
D
X
Well,
liliana,
let
me
actually
divert
that
thanks
right
back
to
you,
because
we
would
not
have
been
able
to
execute
that
gap
program
without
the
assistance
of
you
and
clues.
And
you
know
one
of
the
foundational
and
important
elements
that
we
had
when
we
established
the
gap
program
was
to
make
sure
that
it
wasn't
restricted
based
on
citizenship
or
documentation
status.
X
It's
difficult
to
have
a
direct
connection
and
find
the
individuals
that
need
this
help
the
most
and
we
needed
to
get
the
funding
out,
as
you
know,
in
a
fairly
quick
manner,
both
because
of
the
requirements
set
by
well
us
and
and
and
soon
to
be
the
feds,
but
also
also
just
that
to
help
you
know,
because
I
mean-
and
I
think
I
think
that
that
partnership
and
the
partnership
with
so
many
of
you
all
is
gonna
continue,
because
I
see
this
being
a
more
critical
issue,
especially
if
any
eviction
moratorium
is
lifted,
which
obviously
we
all
should
be
very,
very
concerned
about.
K
Thanks
mayor
and
liliana,
chloe
jackson,
you
have
your
hand
up.
H
Yes,
mayor,
I
just
have
a
question:
would
you
advocate
for
letting
the
people
vote
on
rent
stabilization.
X
So
this,
I
believe,
involves
a
notice
of
introduction
that
just
came
forward
today
and
the
honest
truth
is
that
I
have
not
even
read
it
yet,
and
so
you
know
I
I
before
I
take
any
position,
I
I
do
my
due
diligence
and
I
and
I
read
through
the
policy
you
know
as
a
general
rule
in
the
in
the
past.
I
I
have
not
supported
rent
control,
because
the
data
has
speak
spoken,
pretty
clear
that
it
actually
has
the
opposite
impact.
X
Now
that
doesn't
mean
that
that's
what's
in
this
policy,
and
so
I
I'm
not
going
to
pass
any
judgments
at
all
before
I
actually
read
the
policy
you
know
in
in
the
past.
The
data
that
we've
seen
is
that
one
of
two
things
ends
up
happening
either,
one
the
landlord
stops,
keeping
the
the
the
the
premises
in
a
habitable
condition
or
two.
They
decide
that
they
don't
want
to
do
residential
anymore
and
it
reduces
the
supply
and
thus
increases
the
price.
X
And
so
the
last
thing
that
we
want
to
do
is
gentrify
areas,
because
landlords
have
decided
to
flip
the
spaces
put
granite,
countertops
in
and
gentrify
whole
corridors.
We
don't
want
that,
I'm
not
at
all
saying
that's
what
this
policy
does
because
I
haven't.
I
haven't
read
the
policy,
but
but
I
want
to
see
what
the
policy
says
first
before
before
I
take
any
position,
but
it's
a
it
is
a
very
fair
question.
F
X
True,
that
is,
that
is
accurate.
Well,
I
I'll
tell
you
what
I'll,
how
about
I'll
I'll
read
it,
and
then
I
can
get
you
a
an
honest
and
straightforward
response.
P
I'm
doing
well
one.
I
was
I'm
still
looking
forward
to
that
call
through
that
email,
training
that
we
have
going
on
and
two
and
two
I
want
to
talk
about
the
rent
programs
for
the
rental
assistance.
P
Families
are
looking
for
help
doing
a
rental
assistance
and
there's
a
caller
that
called
online
that
spoke
about
she
applied
for
the
rental
programs,
but
she's
excluded
because
she
lives
in
public
housing
by
her
living
in
public
housing
and
I
believe,
the
last
time
she
was
working
at
the
time
when
she
was
working
at
the
time
and
she
lost
a
job
and
she
applies
for
unemployment
and
she
lives
in
public
housing
once
she
gets
that
rent
and
decreased
and
she
applies
for
the
unemployment.
Her
rent
goes
right
back
up.
P
So
if
the
program
rental
assistance
programs
are
out
there
and
they're
being
submitted
and
documented-
and
whoever
is
you
know,
helping
to
write
these
policies,
I
don't
think
you
guys
are
thinking
about
the
people
who
need
to
help
the
most
and
that's
the
words
you
just
recently
said
people
that
need
to
help
the
most
are
being
pushed
out,
they're
not
being
heard,
because
I'm
a
renter
myself-
and
I
hear
this
from
everyone-
and
so
I
want
to
know
like-
is
there
another
way
that
we
could
do
this,
because,
even
if
they
live
in
public
housing
or
subsidized
housing,
some
they
do
work
they're
just
not
sitting
home
but
they're
not
getting
help
because
of
their
circumstances
of
living
in
public
housing
or
subsidized
housing
or
having
section
eight
so,
but
they
are
working
citizens.
P
So
how
can
we
help
them?
Because,
eventually,
that's
going
to
put
her
out,
she
doesn't
come
up
with
the
money
by
the
end
of
the
month
and
she's
on
the
street.
She
I'm
sure
she,
I
hope
she
doesn't
have
kids
or
not.
If
she
do,
she
didn't
mention
it.
But
how
can
we
help
that?
Because
we're
going
to
put
more
people
on
the
street
because
of
the
policies
of
these
documents,
of
getting
rid
of.
X
Karina,
thank
you
for
the
question
hear
you
entirely.
I
just
had
a
conversation
yesterday
with
the
director
of
mpha
and
abdi
warsami,
and
we
were
actually
talking
about
this
issue
of
which
is,
you
know
how
mpha
or
public
housing
in
general
is
often
excluded
from
some
of
these
city
and
state
and
federal
for
that
matter.
Funding
sources.
X
So
you
raise
a
really
good
point
and
I
I
think
a
lot
of
it
comes
back
to
the
fact
that
you
know
we
have
not
properly
funded
public
housing
since,
like
the
80s
and
by
the
way,
both
democrat
and
republican,
you
know,
administrations
are
are
to
blame,
we're
all
to
blame.
The
the
funding
that
we
have
seen
go
to
public
housing
has
been
diminished
and
is
not
at
all
sustainable
right
now.
I
am
hopeful
that
we'll
get
a
shift
in.
X
You
know
the
new
administration,
but
I
think
we're
all
gonna
have
to
be
strong
advocates
to
ultimately
make
that
happen
and
with
respect
to
the
work
the
city
can
do
you
know
yeah
we're
gonna
be
looking
at
additional
strategies
where
we
can
have
you
know,
mpha,
specific
or
or
or
monies
that
mpha
can
hit
and
take
in
into
account,
so
that
the
the
items
that
you're
talking
about
don't
happen.
I
agree
with
you
entirely.
P
P
We
would
love
to
have
some
sort
of
like
property
tax
freeze
or
give
them
a
surplus
because
of
the
property
taxes
that
are
getting
higher
and
just
we
need
to
help
the
people
there's
a
lot
of
people
suffering
and
I
keep
hearing
you
know
and
seeing
more
condos
being
built.
I
keep
hearing
hey,
let's
get
people
in
you
know
to
buy
the
american
dream
at
home,
I'm
all
for
buying
a
home.
I
can't
wait
to
do
mines,
but
we're
doing
this
pandemic.
P
We
have
to
make
sure
we're
looking
out
for
people,
because
people
are
losing
their
jobs.
They
got.
You
know
jobs
that
they
once
loved,
but
some
of
these
jobs
are
going
away
during
the
pandemic.
So
we
just
have
to
make
sure
that
we
are
really
helping
the
people,
whether
it's
buying
a
home.
Let's
make
sure
we're
keeping
it
home
for
that.
That
particular
family,
let's
make
sure
we're
getting
the
folks
off
the
streets.
That's
nature,
we're
health
and
mental
illness.
P
X
I
I
I
thank
you.
I
thank
you
and
feel
free
andrea
if
you
could
coordinate
on
the
the
phone
call
side
of
things
and
and
thank
you
all-
I
actually
have
to
jump
to
the
next
meeting
right
now.
But
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
your
work.
Appreciate
you
really
digging
in
on
these
issues.
It
makes
a
huge
difference
to
a
whole
lot
of
people
thanks
thanks.
K
Y
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
add
a
piece
of
detail
to
karina's
question
and
comment
about
the
exclusion
of
public
housing
and
adventure
holders
to
these
resources
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
you
know
we
recently
had
a
great
conversation
with
executive
director,
we're
sami
about
the
need,
that's
there
and
we
are
very
supportive
of
including
public
housing
and
roger
holders
in
the
next
round
of
emergency
assistance.
That's
coming
from
the
from
the
federal
government
we're
waiting
on
some
guidance
from
the
federal
government
about
whether
or
not
we'll
be
allowed
to
do
that.
Y
K
It
was
great
to
be
able
to
hear
from
council
member
gordon
and
the
mayor,
and
I
still
am
excited
to
meet
the
rest
of
you
all.
So
we'll
go
back
to
our
introductions
phase.
I
know
I
was
in
the
midst
of
introducing
myself.
I've
already
talked
plenty
today,
but
just
wanted
to
just
remind
folks,
I'm
from
legal
aid,
I'm
a
a
renter's
attorney.
My
current
role
is
focused
mostly
on
housing
policy
at
the
state
level
and
also
at
this
city
and
county
level.
So
without
more
there
feel
free
to
reach
out.
K
If
you
ever,
I
would
be
happy
to
meet
with
anyone
one-on-one
and
get
to
know
you
better,
but
that's
me
and
we'll
move
on
in
our
introductions
to
colleen
ebbinger
hi.
Q
Everyone,
nice
again
to
see
and
meet
many
of
you,
so
I'm
vice
president
of
the
family
housing
fund,
and
so
we
are
an
organization
focused
on
the
seven
county
metro
area
and
building
a
strong,
affordable
housing
system
and
affordable
housing
really
broadly
defined.
So
that
includes
everything
from
public
housing
to
you
know,
noaa
housing
naturally
occurring
affordable,
housing
to
fair
rental
and
rent
and
habitability
habitable
housing,
all
the
way
to
home
ownership.
Q
So
we
are,
we
do
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
around
eviction
prevention,
working
with
courts
in
the
region.
We've
also
launched
building
equity
program
focused
on
increasing
people
of
color's
ownership
in
duplexes,
triplex's
fourplexes,
as
a
way
to
both
secure,
more
homeownership,
but
also
reduce
racial
disparities
and
wealth,
and
I
also
am
a
landlord,
my
husband
and
I
own
a
couple
of
duplexes
and
self-manage
those.
So
I'm
excited
to
be
here
again
today
and
have
been
really
enjoying
being
part
of
this
committee
for
the
last
two
years.
M
Sure
I'm
the
director
of
policy
and
communications
for
the
minneapolis
public
housing
authority,
and
I
am
pleased
and
honored
to
fill
mpha's
designated
seat
on
this
committee.
It
is
a
a
wonderful
thing
that
mpha
is
included
in
this
committee
and
entirely
appropriate.
We
feel
we
sit
at
a
really
pivotal
place
in
the
city's
housing
continuum
as
permanent,
deeply
affordable
housing,
often
providing
a
backstop
and
a
safety
net
for
people
who
struggle
to
find
and
afford
a
place
to
live
in
the
private
market.
M
Sorry
for
my
cat
and
you
know,
and
and
more
stable
and
and
safe
place
for
people
who
otherwise
might
be
in
the
shelter
system.
We
serve
all
in
all
more
than
26
000
people
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
across
our
section
8
programs
and
mpha
owned
and
operated
housing.
It's
I
think
it's
kind
of
interesting
we're
such
a
we're
as
a
governmental
entity.
We
sit
in
a
really
kind
of
a
weird
space.
Like
all
housing
authorities,
do
we
administer
federal
subsidies
and
we
are
by
and
large
federally
funded.
M
The
pieces
of
us
that
are
not
federally
funded
are
tenant.
Rent
payments
are
a
portion
of
what
supports
what
we
do
and
we
do
have
some
on
and
off
and
specialized
city
and
state
funding
that
is
becoming
increasingly
valuable
and
important,
as
time
goes
on,
for
the
reasons
that
the
mayor
articulated,
but
we
administer
federal
subsidies.
We
are
a
state
chartered
entity,
so
we're
subject
to
state
law
in
a
number
of
important
ways
to
our
work,
and
we
are
very
closely
tied
to
the
city.
M
Our
board
is
appointed
by
the
mayor
and
the
city
council.
Our
executive
director
is
confirmed
by
the
council,
and
we've
got
a
lot
of
terrific
and
fairly
fairly
recent
wonderful
joint
projects
with
the
city.
It's
a
really
exciting
time
for
collaboration
between
us
as
a
sort
of
pseudo-independent
entity
and
the
city
coming
together
to
address
some
of
our
challenges.
One
that
bruce
mentioned
is
the
stable
home,
stable
schools
program
which
we're
really
excited
has
been
made
permanent
part
of
the
city
budget.
M
There's
nothing
else
like
that
in
the
country
where
the
city
has
come
together
with
the
housing
authority
to
provide
substantial
funding
to
a
program
we
could
administer
with
the
school
system,
and
it's
it's
just
one
of
the
one
of
the
wonderful
things
that
has
come
out
of
conversations
with
the
city
in
recent
years.
M
The
city
has
more
than
two
million
dollars
in
a
huge
renovation
that
we're
undertaking
right
now
at
the
elliott
twins
that
will
be
finished
this
summer
and
really
exciting
to
roll
out
to
the
community
and
lots
of
other
conversations
going
on
as
well.
So
it
is,
I
think,
in
my
four
and
a
half
years
here,
really
we've
been
moving
toward
a
high
point
in
our
work
with
the
city
and
really
appreciate
the
support
of
the
mayor
and
the
support
of
the
folks
in
this
committee.
I
K
Jeff
chloe
jackson.
H
Hi,
my
name
is
chloe,
my
pronouns.
Are
she
her?
I
am
a
tenant,
I'm
a
renter
in
minneapolis,
I'm
an
organizer.
I
work
with
renters
united
for
justice,
I'm
also
on
the
board
of
the
corporate
neighborhood.
I
K
Chloe
welcome
spalinski.
Are
you
here.
I
Z
I'm
here
thank
you
good
afternoon.
Everyone
I'm
spalinski
jaycox.
I
am
I
work
currently
for
metro
transit
in
my
previous
life.
I
did
a
lot
of
affordable
housing.
I've
worked
for
minneapolis,
public
housing,
saint
paul,
public
housing
in
various
non-profits,
ppl,
nerc
and
wilder
foundation,
and
I
recently
purchased
a
home
in
minneapolis.
So
I've
been
back
in
the
city,
probably
about
14
months
and
decided
to
get
involved
because
of
the
ordeal
I
went
through
when
purchasing
my
home
kind
of
was
disappointed
and
thought.
Z
Well,
if
I
want
to
make
a
difference,
I
need
to
be
involved
in
where
decisions
are
made,
where
developers
and
contractors
are
vetted
to
make
sure
that
they're
building
homes
that
not
only
are
affordable
but
structurally
are
are
done
properly
as
well.
I
have
a
passion
for
the
challenge:
populations
that
would
be
ex-felons
homeless,
vets
because
those
are
the
people
that
have
the
hardest
time,
finding
rental
and
so
yeah.
I'm
really
excited
to
be
part
of
this
team,
and
hopefully
some
changes
can
be
made.
Z
That
will
make
a
difference
and
you
know
seeing
minneapolis
change,
because
I
grew
up
in
minneapolis.
I'm
kind
of
disappointed
in
what
I
see
now
as
the
housing
industry,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
it
back
to
where
it
really
should
be,
because
housing
is
a
right
everybody
should
have,
and
that
shouldn't
be
something
you're
worried
about,
and
unfortunately
that
is
now
thank
you.
K
Thank
you
spalinski
for
that
introduction
and
for
for
being
with
us
today
and
welcome
back
to
the
city
of
minneapolis
not
too
long
ago.
All
right,
we'll
move
on
katie
did
queen
join.
Do
you
know
queen?
Are
you
here.
P
I
AA
Yes,
I
go
by
the
pronouns
of
she
her
and,
let's
see
you
want
my
introduction,
the
executive
director
of
one
family,
one
community.
We
work
with
people
who
have
housing
instability.
You
know
we
do
a
lot
of
organizing
at
the
capital
level,
let's
see
yeah
and
we
get
people
civically
engaged
about
housing.
AA
The
word
felony
holds
too
much
power,
so
we
already
understand
that
on
many
different
levels,
so
glad
to
be
back,
got
my
sworn
oath
to
come
in
today,
and
I'm
just
looking
forward
for
us
to
really
put
some
stuff
together
and
move
some
mountains,
because
that's
what
power
does
all
right.
Thank
you.
I
Whoo
awesome
queen
you're,
giving
me
chills
so
glad
you're
here
all
right
next
charlotte
welcome.
Thank.
AB
You
charlotte
kinsley,
I
am
the
homeless
and
highly
mobile
manager
for
minneapolis
public
schools
and
I'm
just
really
honored
to
be
holding
that
spot
for
minneapolis
public
schools
on
this
committee.
We
last
year
identified
over
2
300
students
who
are
experiencing
homelessness.
AB
So
I
come
to
this
work
with
I've
been
working
in
family,
shelter,
permanent
supportive
housing
and
now
this
role
at
mps
within
minneapolis
for
the
past
20
years.
So
I
come
with,
I
guess,
just
a
passion.
I
agree
with
you.
Spalinski
around
housing
is
a
right
and
we
need
to
get
to
that
for
especially
for
our
young
people.
The
impact
for
students
on
their
education
when
they're
experiencing
homelessness
is
dramatic
and
so
appreciate.
Being
part
of
a
group,
that's
committed
to
making
sure
that
our
residents
have
housing.
D
Yes,
good
afternoon,
everyone
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
my
name
is
liliana
letran
garcia.
I
am
the
director
of
economic
empowerment,
division
for
clues,
my
pronouns
are
she
and
her
one
of
the
subdivisions
of
the
economic
empowerment
for
clues
is
housing.
We
do
provide
homelessness
prevention,
rental,
council
purchase
counseling,
foreclosure
prevention,
counseling
to
many
families,
mostly
latino
families
that
live
not
only
here
in
the
twin
cities,
but
in
greater
minnesota.
D
During
the
pandemic,
like
I
shared
previously
with
the
mayor,
our
latino
community
was
tremendously
affected
by
this
pandemic,
which
put
many
many
families
at
the
risk
of
being
homeless.
D
We,
I
think
many
organizations
have
been
putting
the
red
flag
for
two
three
years
ago
and
now
we
are
here-
and
I
am
so
excited
to
be
part
of
this
group
to
come
up
with
solutions
create.
You
know,
a
balance
and
win-win
situation,
for
you
know
the
tenants,
the
landlords,
the
homeowners
and
the
lending
companies
to
try
to
come
up
with
with
solutions
and
make
sure
that
people
can
keep
their
housing
unit.
So
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
work
with
all
of
you.
U
U
So
this
is
very
I'm
very
passionate
about
the
unhoused
and
unsheltered
individuals,
because
I've
been
there.
I
know
what
it's
like
to
have
dirty
wet
socks
on
to
have
your
dirty
clothes
on.
You
have
to
turn
them
inside
out
to
walk
because
your
clothes
are
dirty.
I
know
what
it's
like
to
sleep
under
a
bridge
in
a
doorway
of
a
business
on
lake
street
with
no
place
to
live,
so
I'm
very
passionate
about
this,
and
when
I
talk
about
this,
you
can
hear
it
in
my
voice
and
I
do
get
upset.
U
Sometimes
it's
only
because
I'm
passionate
about
what
I'm
trying
to
accomplish
I'm
a
full-time
college
student.
My
goal
is
to
work
in
housing
policy
because
I
do
believe
that
in
housing
policy,
when
you
make
the
policy
changes
everything
trinkles
down
to
where
it
will
help
everybody
else.
We
need
outreach.
Yes,
because
I
do
do
a
lot
of
outreach,
but
where
changes
happen,
is
it
the
policy
level,
the
government
level,
the
legislation
level,
and
I
am
passionate
enough
to
where
I
graduate
this
summer
due
to
cover
19?
U
U
I
will
continue
to
beat
my
head
against
that
wall
until
I
get
someone
to
hear
me
answer
me
and
let's
move
forward
with
the
issue
that
I'm
trying
to
accomplish
here,
because
all
these
individuals,
and
not
like
the
encampments,
has
been
in
okay,
we're
going
to
come
back
here
because
I'm
already
getting
upset.
I
just
I
know
what
it
feels
like
to
sleep
in
a
tent.
U
I
know
what
it
feels
like
to
sleep
with
no
home
and
I
even
sent
out
a
challenge
to
the
city
council
to
sleep
in
a
tent
one
night
and
let
them
feel
what
it
feels
like,
because
you
know
now.
I'm
very
grateful
that
I
can
come
home
shut
my
door
lock
it
I
wake
up
in
a
warm
bed.
I
have
a
shower.
U
I
can
take
a
shower,
I'm
very
grateful
about
these
things
and
my
passion
is
to
get
everybody
housed
and
out
of
these
tents
off
of
these
streets,
because
it
is
a
human
human
right
to
have
safe,
affordable
housing
and
not
just
affordable
housing.
It
needs
to
be
deeply
affordable
housing
because
that's
a
big
difference-
and
that's
me
thank
you.
K
J
Yeah
and
congratulations
brenda
wow,
so
it's
been
two
years.
This
is
my
second
term
on
this
committee
and
I
watched
you
fight
all
the
way
through.
So
that's
awesome,
I'm
the
executive
director
at
build
wealth,
minnesota
we've
been
on
the
corner
of
plymouth
and
penn.
For
the
last
12
years.
We
provide
a
comprehensive
financial
education
program.
J
We
work
with
about
700
families
of
all
different
incomes
and
walks
of
life,
mainly
low-income
people
of
color.
We
help
them
get
through
this
comprehensive
financial
education.
We
also
coach
them
for
up
to
two
years,
sometimes
five
years
we
we
help
families
get
into
home
ownership,
also
into
rental
readiness.
We
also
have
a
rental
readiness
curriculum
that
we
recently
developed
with
the
family
housing
fund.
J
We've
been.
We
manage
four
different
down
payment
assistance,
programs,
we're
community
development,
financial
institutions.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
favorable
loan
products
that
we
provide
with
credit,
rebuild
loans,
helping
people
going
from
18
inches
down
to
8
percent,
a
lot
of
different
strategies
to
help
people
break
cycles
of
poverty
to
go
along
with
the
education
as
well.
J
We
also
are
housing
development.
We
started
developing
houses
in
2016
through
the
green
homes
north
program,
so
we've
been
providing
a
some
larger
unit,
houses
that
are
affordable
here
in
north
minneapolis.
We're
engaged
in
the
infield
development
process
of
trying
to
fill
in
these
vacant
lots
with
affordable
houses
for
families
here
in
minneapolis.
I
AC
Welcome
lisa
mears
I
go
by
the
pronoun
she
her,
I'm
the
executive
director
at
the
bridge
for
youth
and
the
bridge
for
youth
is
a
non-profit
in
south
minneapolis
been
around
since
1970.
It
was
founded
by
two
catholic
nuns,
sisters,
rita
and
marlene,
who
noticed
a
growing
number
of
homeless
and
unaccompanied
youth
on
the
streets
and
we've
and
now
our
mission
is
to
provide
runaway
and
homeless
youth,
safe
shelter.
We
have
supportive
housing
and
other
supportives
and
therapeutic
services.
AC
We
assist
in
the
prevention
and
resolution
of
family
conflict
and
re
reunify.
Whenever
it's
safe
and
possible,
we
do
hold
contracts,
we're
the
only
contract
in
hennepin
county
for
the
juvenile
diversion
alternatives
initiative,
and
so
you
know
we
are
providing
these
supports
not
only
for
youth
in
minneapolis
or
hennepin
county,
but
in
the
broader
community
as
well.
AC
So
I
also
have
experience-
and
I'm
really
super
excited
to
be
here
and
to
be
here
in
the
presence
of
a
lot
of
community
organizers.
I
had
the
pleasure
of
when
I
was
the
ceo
of
veep
to
work
really
closely
with
tenant
organizers,
as
well
as
peer
organizations
in
the
city
in
bloomington,
richfield
and
edina,
to
support
and
advocate
for
the
adoption
of
ordinances
that
protected
tenants
and
as
well
attendance
rates
as
well
as
preserving
the
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
there.
N
Hello,
everyone,
my
name,
is
melissa
newman
and
I
have
been
a
homeowner
in
the
mckinley
neighborhood
for
the
last
14
years.
The
reason
I'm
interested
in
serving
on
this
committee
is
to
do
my
part
to
ensure
true
and
fair
housing
through
my
own
personal,
predatory
lending
experiences
and
advocating
for
my
neighbors,
it
kind
of
opened
up
my
eyes
to
the
bigger
picture
of
negative
revitalization
efforts
around
the
city
of
minneapolis.
N
So
I
believe,
change
in
current
housing
practices
are
crucial
and
very
necessary
in
order
for
us
to
allow
greater
housing
opportunity,
and
so
I
felt
it
was
necessary
for
me
to
be
at
the
table
and
be
a
part
of
this
committee,
making
recommendations
and
doing
what's
best
for
minneapolis
residents.
N
So
I'm
excited
to
learn
and
to
work
with
you
all
as
well
and
look
forward
to
these
next
few
years
on
this
committee.
G
I
own
four
rental
units
in
the
city
and
a
lot
of
my
professional
background
is
in
housing,
both
direct
service
as
well
as
policy
and
advocacy,
and
I'm
just
really
passionate
about
the
importance
of
you
know,
stable
and
safe
and
affordable
housing
is
a
human
right
in
my
daily
job.
Now
I
do
policy
and
advocacy
related
to
planning
and
development
for
an
environmental
organization,
but
I
don't
represent
them
here
at
this.
G
This
committee-
and
I
was
on
the
committee
for
the
past
years
and
felt
like
the
work
we
did
was
important
and
that
this
is
such
a
big
area
of
effort
in
the
city
right
now
that
I'm
really
happy
to
be
back
for
another
two
years
with
you.
E
Thanks
hi
everyone,
I'm
maggie
ottie,
I
use
she
her
pronouns.
I
work
at
hope
community
on
franklin
and
portland,
so
we
do.
We
provide
affordable
housing
and
then
do
community
organizing
and
engagement
as
well.
My
role
is
in
housing,
development
and
asset
management.
E
I'm
here
to
help
ensure
everybody
in
minneapolis
has
access
to
safe
and
stable
housing
and
to
I'm
excited
to
work
with
and
learn
from
all
of
you.
So
thanks.
K
Thanks
for
being
here-
and
next
is
scott
schaefer-
who
I
know
couldn't
be
with
us
today,
so
we'll
move
on
to
janine
ceja-
isn't
that
right.
O
Yeah
everybody
will
get
enough
practice
with
my
last
name
in
this
meeting
that
you'll
all
be
able
to
say
it
by
the
time
we
adjourn
today.
So,
let's
see
so
she
her
pronouns.
I
live
in
the
seventh
ward,
I've
been
in
minneapolis
for
three
years
and
then
in
golden
valley.
Prior
to
that,
I
work
in
real
estate
technology.
O
But
I've
had
a
keen
interest
in
in
housing
and
real
estate
through
my
professional
life,
and
I
would
say
I'm
solidly
in
the
category
of
people
who
were
galvanized
by
the
events
of
last
year,
both
the
pandemic
and
the
civil
situation
and
really
felt
like
it
was
time
to
get
off
the
sidelines
and
become
more
engaged
in
a
really
specific
way,
with
a
project
that
resonated
with
me.
O
So,
for
me,
this
is
all
about
seeing
what
I
can
contribute
and
how
I
can
support
others:
ideas
around
equity
and
fair
housing,
specifically
in
home
ownership.
I
really
know
and
understand
how
homeownership
can
transform
a
person
and
a
family,
so
anything
that
we
can
do
around
down
payment
assistance
around
financial
education.
O
All
of
those
things
that's
really
important
to
me,
as
well
as
the
whole
unhoused
situation
and
how
much
worse,
I
imagine
that's
going
to
get
in
the
coming
year
or
two,
so
I
think
that
there's
historically
so
much
to
be
rectified
around
redlining
and
fair
housing
and
equity
that
I
think
it's
really
important
for
all
citizens
to
engage
in
this
dialogue
and
to
try
to
to
make
things
better
and
I'm
you
know
just
kind
of
humbly
approaching
this
in
that
spirit,
and
I'm
really
excited
to
learn
from
all
of
you
and
to
collaborate
on
the
work
that
we'll
do
so.
B
Thank
you,
joey
hello,
everybody
good
to
see
some
old
faces
and
some
new
ones
today,
I'm
cecil
smith.
I'm
president,
ceo
of
the
minnesota
multi
housing
association,
which
represents
about
1500
members
with
400
000
units
of
housing
across
the
state.
B
I've
been
a
minneapolis
resident,
been
very
engaged
in
housing
issues
and
housing
policy
issues
for
a
number
of
years.
I'm
very
interested
in
systems
change,
especially
around
housing
production
and
lowering
the
cost
of
housing
production,
because
I
believe
that's
the
long-term
sustainable
solution
so
pleased
to
work
with
all
of
you
and
make
some
progress
on
real
change
in
housing.
I
AD
Everyone
thanks
so
much
it's
been
really.
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
hear
a
little
bit
more
about
everybody
and
I'm
excited
to
to
be
back
for
a
second
term,
I'm
a
minneapolis
resident
in
ward
11
and
in
my
day
job.
I
work
as
a
public
policy
director
for
the
metropolitan
consortium
of
community
developers,
which
is
an
association
of
nonprofit
organizations
that
provide
affordable
housing
and
support
small
businesses.
AD
Something
today
that
just
really
moved
me
was
that
first
public
comment
andrew
and
what
he
said
and
especially
how
he
ended
that
that
he's
looking
forward
to
not
just
our
ally
ship
but
our
action,
and
that's
just
something
that
I'm
going
to
remember.
You
know
throughout
this
term
for
myself
and
hope
that
our
work
and
can
live
up
to
that.
So
thank
you.
So
much.
K
R
Thank
you,
hi
everybody,
I'm
annie
wells.
I
use
they
them
pronouns.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
about
that,
let
me
know
I
am
the
director
of
housing
programs
at
st
stevens,
which
is
a
non-profit
that
is
working
to
end
homelessness,
in
primarily
in
hennepin
county.
R
I've
been
in
the
field
of
housing
and
homelessness
for
about
17
years
and
I'm
very
passionate
about
finding
homelessness.
That's
where
my
focus
is
with
this
work,
as
brenda
said
I,
as
a
result
of
that,
I
want
to
focus
on
not
just
affordable
housing
but
deeply
affordable
housing.
R
I
believe
housing
is
a
basic
human
right
and
that
we
also
need
to
focus
on
the
groups
that
are
over
represented
in
homelessness
numbers,
so
bipod
communities
and
queer
communities
and
a
part
of
that
work
means
actively
reversing
the
inequities
that
have
been
intentionally
put
in
place
by
our
government
and
society
that
has
led
to
where
we
are
today.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
continuing
the
work
of
this
committee.
This
is
also
my
second
term.
R
As
rose
said,
I
was
also
moved
by
the
first
public
caller
holding
us
to
taking
action
and
not
just
having
a
more
passive
role.
I'm
looking
forward
to
actually
taking
action
over
these
next
couple.
K
K
Welcome
so
next
for
the
next
10
minutes,
or
so
we're
going
to
hear
some
updates
on
some
of
the
work
that
the
city
has
done
on
housing
issues
in
2020
and
then
a
little
bit
of
a
look
ahead
of
what
we're
expecting
and
what
is
in
the
works
for
2021..
A
Thanks,
joey
and
maybe
really
quickly
before
we
start,
I
did
create
a
little
powerpoint
and
for
people
who
are
on
the
phone,
I
was
having
trouble
getting
it
posted
to
the
agenda,
so
it
will
be
posted
after
this
meeting,
but
we'll
just
obviously
describe
what's
in
it,
but
I
think
it
might
be
helpful
for
the
staff
that
are
typically
in
these
meetings
to
just
introduce
ourselves
as
well.
A
So
you
know
who
is
on
the
call
from
the
city
staff
side
so
and
also
because
they're
going
to
be
talking
briefly
in
the
next
section
here
as
well,
so
I've
already
introduced
myself,
but
I
will
just
share
a
little
bit
more
about
my
role
at
the
city.
So
again,
I'm
katie
topinka.
I
work
for
the
community
planning
and
economic
development
department.
Cped
is
our
acronym
and
I'm
specifically
in
the
housing
division,
and
my
role
is
the
housing
policy
coordinator.
So
I
work
on
a
lot
of
the
new
policy
development
around
housing.
A
That's
happening
in
the
city.
I
also
work
within
our
department
on
some
update.
You
know
policy
changes
to
existing
programs
and
then
I
specifically
work
on
the
stable
home,
stable
schools,
program
and
and
obviously
staff
this
committee.
So
I'm
so
excited
to
have
you
all
as
part
of
it,
and
I'm
just
going
to
ask
my
colleagues
to
also
introduce
themselves
quickly
because
we're,
I
think,
slightly
behind
schedule,
so
I'll
turn
it
to
kelly
johns
from
regulatory
services.
Hey.
T
Hi,
everyone
excited
to
be
back
with
the
committee
again
excited
for
the
new
folks,
I'm
kelly
jones,
I'm
the
director
of
the
tenant
name,
is
the
inspections
division
for
the
city
of
minneapolis.
It
we
manage
all
of
the
rental
license
properties
in
the
city
from
a
single
family
unit,
all
the
way
to
the
multi.
You
know
100
plus
unit
buildings,
I
think
that's
all
I'll
say
for
now
and
I
work
with
katie
who's,
always
busy.
As
you
can
hear
by
her
introduction.
AE
Yeah,
I'm
lisa
smestad,
I'm
the
manager
of
the
lead
hazard,
control
and
healthy
homes
program
housed
in
the
minneapolis
health
department.
A
So
katie,
b
from
reg
services,
do
you
want
to
introduce
yourself
as
well?
I
think
you're,
typically
in
our
meetings
as
well,
I'm.
A
K
A
Y
Sure
hi,
you
guys
heard
from
me
a
little
bit
earlier-
I'm
andrea
inoue,
I'm
in
the
mayor's
office.
My
role
is
the
director
of
strategic
partnerships
for
affordable
housing.
I
also
work
some
in
food
security
as
well
as
those
two
issues
often
are
intertwined.
Y
I
deal
with
a
lot
of
different,
affordable
housing
issues
as
they
come
from
or
come
through
our
office,
but
specifically
work
very
closely
with
stable
home,
stable
schools
and,
most
recently
with
our
cities,
minneapolis
gap
funds
for
housing
program
and
then
the
upcoming
federal
emergency
rental
assistance
programs
that
we're
receiving.
W
A
All
right
great
so
now
we
are
going
to
do
just
a
brief,
very
brief.
High
level.
A
Overview
of
some
of
the
things
that
the
city
worked
on
in
2020
and
some
of
the
things
we
will
be
working
on
in
2021
and
again,
this
is
high
level
and
doesn't
encompass
every
single
thing
around
housing
that
happened.
A
A
You
understand
kind
of
just
some
of
the
things
that
are
already
going
on
and
where
you
may
have
opportunities
to
weigh
in,
and
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
a
lot
of
these
things
and
kelly
and
lisa
and
robin
are
also
going
to
talk
about
a
few
of
them.
So
so
can
you
see?
A
Okay,
let
me
oh,
you
know
what
let
me
try
this
again.
Okay,
sorry.
A
Thank
you.
So
in
2020
there
was
obviously
like
everything
else.
Our
work
changed
pretty
dramatically
to
respond
to
covid,
so
they're,
I'm
going
to
actually
just
start
with
the
emergency
housing
assistance,
because
that's
already
been
mentioned
several
times
on
this
call,
and
so
I
want
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
that.
A
But
the
city
did
in
early
on
in
the
pandemic,
make
three
million
dollars
available
to
assist
low-income
renter
households
with
rent
and
utility
payments,
and
and
this
was
kind
of
the
first
one
of
the
first
emergency
housing
assistance
programs.
A
Out
of
the
gate,
I
think
some
of
the
issues
with
it
have
already
been
highlighted
in
terms
of
eligibility,
and
things
like
that
that
we
are
now
learning
from
as
we're
starting
to
work
on
additional
rental
assistance
programs,
but
it
was
able
to
assist
1600
households,
and
so
just
wanted
to
to
mention
that
here.
A
Obviously,
this
committee
last
year
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
homelessness
response
and
obviously
from
everyone's
introductions.
That's
a
something
folks
are
really
passionate
about
on
this
committee,
and
so
I
anticipate
we'll
spend
a
lot
more
time
digging
into
this.
But
just
specifically,
as
it
relates
to
the
covid
response,
the
city
did
receive
funds
federal
funds
to
be
able
to
invest
in
new
shelters
and
additional
street
outreach
services,
as
well
as
rapid
rehousing.
A
And
so
there
are
a
number
of
new
shelters
that
have
already
opened
and
some
will
be
adding
additional
capacity
over
the
next
coming
weeks.
But
we,
the
city,
did
invest
13.4
million
dollars
to
help
make
those
shelter
projects
happen,
along
with,
as
I
mentioned,
investing
in
additional
homeless
street
outreach
services,
as
well
as
providing
hygiene
support
at
encampments
through
the
city,
health
department
and
those
shelters.
If
anybody
is
interested
in
learning
more,
we
can
certainly
do
more
detail,
but
one
was
homeward
bound,
which
is
owned
and
operated
by
american
indian
community
development
corporation.
A
That
has
50
beds
that
are
targeted
for
our
native
american
community
and
then
avivo
villages
or
indoor
villages,
which
is
tiny
structures
within
a
larger
shelter
that
one
did
open
at
the
end
of
december
and
is
but
not
fully
open.
Yet
in
terms
of
capacity,
it
will
have
100
units
once
it's
fully
open
right
now,
they're
at
I
believe,
16,
although
it
may
be
more
than
that.
A
That
was
the
initial
opening
amount
and
we
can
certainly
get
a
more
more
of
an
update
on
that
and
then,
in
addition
to
those
two
things
related
to
coveted
response.
A
The
city
also
invested
increased
its
investment
in
legal
services
for
people
facing
eviction,
and
so
there
is
additional
money
that
we
provided
to
legal
aid
through
some
of
our
covid
response
dollars
to
ensure
that
we
can
help
prepare
for
when
the
eviction
moratorium
ends
and
provide
legal
services
to
to
people
both
before
and
then
after
the
moratorium
ends,
and
then
I'm
just
going
to
kind
of
run
through
some
of
these
quickly
budget
changes.
A
Some
of
these
have
already
been
discussed,
but
with
last
year's
budget,
the
housing
advisory
committee
did
weigh
in
on
a
number
of
these
items,
and
this
council
and
mayor
did
approve
ongoing
funding
for
stable
home,
stable
schools,
which
has
been
mentioned
here
several
times.
That's
a
program
that
provides
rental
assistance
for
families
with
children
in
mps,
schools
that
are
experiencing
homelessness.
So
it's
now
a
permanent
program.
It
had
been
a
pilot
and
there's
2.2
million
dollars
a
year
for
that
program.
A
There
was
also
15
million
dollars
in
the
budget
for
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund,
including
an
additional
1
million
in
ongoing
funding,
and
that
program
is
how
we
invest
in
affordable
housing
in
the
city,
and
then
there
was
also
2
million
in
ongoing
funding
for
home
ownership
and
specifically
targeted
ending
disparities
in
homeownership
again
last
year
we
had
our
affordable
housing
trust
fund
selections
that
will
assist
in
creating
or
preserving
952
units
of
housing
in
the
city
907.
Those
are
of
those
are
new
construction
907.
A
Sorry,
I
sort
of
stumbled
over
that
and
45
are
preservation
and
170
of
those
units
are
what
are
we
considered
deeply
affordable,
so
affordable
to
people
earning
30
of
area,
median
income
and
then
471
are
affordable
to
households,
earning
50
of
area,
median
income
so
having
we
are
increasing,
trying
to
increase
reaching
that
deeply
affordable
level,
and
then
this
committee
last
year
heard
about
changes
to
the
minneapolis
homes
program.
A
That
is
our
ownership
programs,
and
there
were
a
number
of
changes
adopted
by
the
council
last
year
that
are
aimed
at
better
trying
to
close
the
gap
in
homeownership
between
white
households
and
and
bypass
households,
and
one
of
the
changes
that
was
implemented
is
that
we
used
to
serve
at
incomes
up
to
115
percent
of
area
median
income.
A
Now
it's
limited
to
those
earning
80
of
area,
median
income
or
or
less,
and
one
of
the
big
things
you'll
see
in
a
coming
slide
are
about
implementation
of
that
those
changes
that's
happening
this
year,
which
is
going
to
be
a
a
big
undertaking.
A
The
topa
tenant
opportunity
to
purchase
was
mentioned
earlier
by
council
member
gordon.
So
last
year
we
worked
with
an
outside
organization
to
do
a
study
on
what
potential
opportunity
to
purchase
policy
options
could
be
for
the
city
of
minneapolis,
and
that
study
is
done,
and
so
that
was
a
big
part
of
the
work
last
year,
but
it
laid
out
three
potential
pathways
for
an
opportunity
to
purchase
policy,
and
I
should
when
I
I'll
this
will
be
posted.
A
I
can
also
send
links
to
the
committee
of
a
number
of
these
items
so
that
you
can
read
more
about
them
if
you
would
like
to
since
we're
going
through
them
quite
quickly
and
then
kelly.
These
last
two
bullets
were
were
regulatory
services,
focus.
T
Hi
everyone,
so
the
two
I
quickly
like
katie,
said
this
year
in
2020,
we've
passed
several
rental
protection
ordinances
and
also
again
or
begun.
The
implementation
of
them,
including
a
limited
screening
criteria,
a
security
deposit
cap,
a
renter
relocation
assistance
and
then
advanced
notice
of
sale.
And
so
we
continue
to
work
on
making
sure
that
the
word
gets
out
about
those
so
that
renters
know
their
rights.
T
This
year
again
as
part
of
our
covent
response,
we
ramped
up
our
virtual
inspections
program
and
got
out
to
do
rental
licensing
inspections.
Virtually
we
still
did
interior
inspections
on
situations
where
that
you
know
there
was
a
really
priority
for
us
to
be
inside,
but
to
both
honor
the
health
and
safety
of
the
renters
as
well
as
our
inspectors.
We
came
up
with
a
really
creative
way
to
maintain
health
and
safety
during
this
covet
period.
So
again
with
katie.
T
A
Y
U
Do
you
have
your
hand
up?
Oh
yes,
I
do
okay,
so
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
again
about
the
area:
medium
income.
Okay,
we
are
moving
in
the
right
direction.
You
are
getting
the
deeply
in
place,
but
you're
going
by
the
area,
medium
income,
which
should
be
going
by
the
person's
income,
because
if
a
person
is
only
making
12
an
hour
at
mcdonald's,
how
is
that
person
going
to
afford
deeply
affordable
housing
based
on
their
on
the
area?
Medium
income?
U
Okay?
So
I
just
want
to
go
on
record
again
about
that.
I
still
struggle
with
that
area,
medium
income
situation
that
is
being
put
in
place
here,
because
you're
taking
seven
counties
and
averaging
that
out
and
when
you
have
a
person
only
making
12
an
hour,
how
are
they
still
going
to
afford
30
of
their
of
the
ameri
area
medium
income?
So
I
just
wanted
to
go
on
record
on
that
again.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
brendan,
and
I
think
it
might
be
helpful
at
some
point
to
I
know
we
had
talked
about
maybe
having
some
separate
sessions
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
some
of
the
housing
development
questions
last
year
and
and
didn't
quite
get
to
that.
A
I
think
it
probably
would
be
helpful
to
dig
into
that
piece
more
at
some
point,
because
I
know
that's
come
up
a
lot
in
the
committee
last
year
and
obviously
still
continues
to
be
something
to
to
dig
into
so
thank
you,
brenda,
okay,
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
slide,
then
just
a
couple
of
other
things
that
happened
last
year
in
terms
of
new
policies
council
member
gordon
mentioned
there
was
a
change
to
the
emergency
shelter
ordinance
to
allow
different
sides,
different
sizes
and
different
areas.
A
In
response
to
a
lot
of
the
things
we
were
seeing
and
trying
to
get
new
shelters
created,
the
sro
ordinance
was
not
adopted
last
year,
but
the
process
did
start
and
again,
council
member
gordon
mentioned
that
that's
trying
to
change
our
code
to
allow
for
single
room,
occupancy
type
of
housing
and
there's
brenda
and
scott
shafer
who
isn't
here
today.
They
are
two
members
from
the
committee
who
are
on
a
work
group
providing
some
guidance
to
the
staff
team.
That's
working
on
that
ordinance.
A
I
already
mentioned
the
updates
to
minneapolis
homes,
and
then
the
last
thing
I
just
wanted
to
mention
is
the
housing
advisory
committee
did
weigh
in
last
year
on
a
community
preference
policy.
That's
a
policy
where
it's
currently
applies
to
the
minneapolis
homes
program
for
people
who
currently
reside
in
specific
neighborhoods
that
are
identified
in
the
policy
or
who
were
displaced
from
those
neighborhoods
because
of
foreclosure
crisis
or
or
other
reasons
have
a
preference,
so
50
of
the
homes
that
we're
funding
through
minneapolis
homes.
A
A
So
I'm
going
to
move
on
if
there
are
no
questions,
so
in
2021.
These
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
know
will
be
happening
in
the
city,
and
these
we
just
want
to
make
sure
you
were
aware
of,
as
the
committee
is
trying
to
think
about
what
it
wants
to
work
on.
A
We
will
definitely
be
asking
for
input
on
a
number
of
these
things,
so
we
have
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
emergency
housing
assistance
programs
today,
so
I
won't
go
into
too
much
detail,
but
jeff
already
shared
that
the
city
is
getting
a
direct
allocation
of
money
from
the
federal
government
to
create
a
new
emergency
rental
assistance
program.
We
are
working
with
jurisdictional
partners
to
figure
out
how
we
will
implement
that.
A
A
We
are
going
to
continue
efforts
around
homelessness
response.
The
city
is
hiring
a
couple
of
new
staff.
That
is,
we
are
excited
that
will
improve
our
ability
to
respond
to
people
who
are
experiencing
unsheltered
homelessness
and
I'm
happy
to
go
into
more
detail
on
that.
When
we
have
more
time
and
then
obviously
we
have
a
number
of
ongoing
programs
that
we'll
continue
to
work
on
and
then
I'm
going
to.
Let
lisa
talk
about
lisa
and
kelly.
Have
the
next
four
bullets
here
so
lisa.
AE
So
we'll
be
presenting
you
a
update
on
the
lead
abatement
program
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
as
to
what
we've
done
and
what
we're
planning
on
doing
with
the
5
million
lead
hazard
control
grant
over
the
next
few
years.
We
are
also
going
to
be
developing
a
lead,
poisoning,
elimination
plan
for
the
city
of
minneapolis
over
the
next
year.
AE
That
and
this
committee
will
be
one
of
the
committees
that
will
bring
it
before
for
comment,
and
I
think
that
oh,
the
my
other
one,
was
on
the
bottom
kind
of
about
water
damage
surfaces,
so
we're
coordinating
with
housing
inspections
to
write
an
ordinance
that
would
be
appropriate
for
dealing
with
mold
and
properties,
which
is
something
we've
heard,
needs
to
be
addressed.
T
Thanks
lisa
again,
as
mentioned
before,
we've
been
heavily
involved
in
discussing
the
single
room,
occupancy
ordinance
doing
the
research
and
policy
development.
We
anticipate
that
that
will
move
forward
in
2021
as
councilmember,
gordon
and
others
have
specified.
We
recently
left
the
end
of
really
just
starting.
Two
weeks
ago,
we
combined
two
major
divisions
that
handle
rental
housing
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
the
housing,
inspections,
division
and
the
fire
inspections
division
into
one
division.
T
A
And
then
katie
anna
I'll
touch
on
these
last
two
and
then
I
want
to
make
sure
robin
has
a
chance
to
chime
in
as
well.
So
I
already
mentioned
the
opportunity
to
purchase
policy
study
that
happened
last
year.
We
anticipate
there
will
be
more
work
around
a
policy
this
year.
A
Rent
stabilization
came
up
earlier
in
our
conversation
in
terms
of
the
need
for
a
charter
amendment.
The
council
did
approve
funding
for
a
study
of
the
economic
impacts
of
rent
stabilization
that
I
think
was
alluded
to
earlier.
Kira.
The
center
for
urban
and
regional
affairs
at
the
university
of
minnesota
is
currently
finishing
up
that
study
and
will
likely
be
presenting
it
to
council
in
late
february,
and
so
that
is
on
the
agenda
for
this
year
and
then
robin
any
last
few
things
you
want
to
chime
in
with
quickly.
W
Sure
I'll
just
reiterate
that
we
are
also
working
on
eviction
protections,
so
both
just
cause
and
pre-eviction
notification.
W
There
is
a
lot
of
interest
in
in
finally
passing
the
public
housing
levy
and
and
using
that
to
support
mpha
and
maintaining
and
building
additional
public
housing
in
minneapolis,
aided
by
the
changes
that
we
just
made
to
the
built
form
stuff,
as
it
came
through
that
incentivize,
larger
units,
family
size
units
in
duplexes
and
triplexes,
if
they're,
affordable
and
if
they're
public
and
then
the
last
thing
that
I'm
seeing
that
I
think
we
haven't
talked
about
here
already
today
is
finishing
the
work
on
the
maximum
occupancy
ordinance
to
make
sure
that
we're
no
longer
defining
people's
families
in
in
sort
of
an
obsolete
way.
A
All
right,
I'm
gonna,
stop
sharing.
Thank
you.
I
know
we
still
have
a
few
things
to
get
to
and
one
we
have
to
get
to
which
is
adopting
the
calendar.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
time
for
that,
but
and
andrea.
Sorry,
I
didn't
give
you
a
chance.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
you
wanted
to
add
in
terms
of
planned
activities.
Y
Just
over
quickly
I'll
add,
since
we've
recently
wrapped
up
the
2021
budget,
we
will
soon
be
starting
to
talk
about
the
2022
budget,
and
so
we
will
make
sure
to
engage
with
this
committee
around
the
affordable
housing
components
of
that
as
well.
A
All
right
any
so
I
know
that
was
a
lot
of
information,
but
we
just
wanted
to
kind
of
lay
the
groundwork
for
you.
So
you
understood
some
of
the
things
that
were
planned
to
be
happening.
I
will
send
that
out
via
email
and
also
make
sure
it's
linked
to
the
agenda
for
anybody
who
is
on
the
phone
and
can
send
links
where
you
can
read
more
about
these
items
as
well,
so
more
to
come
on
that.
Okay,
so
joey,
sorry
I'll
go
back
to
you
or
colleen.
K
Yep,
I
think
colleen,
and
I
might
just
make
a
suggestion
here-
that
our
we
had
a
lot
at
about
15
minutes
for
talking
through
our
work
plan
as
a
committee,
but
I
would
suggest
that
maybe
we
push
that
off
to
our
next
month's
meeting.
We
just
heard
a
lot
about
what's
going
on
and
what
the
city
already
has
in
the
works.
So
that
would
just
be
my
suggestion
that
we
push
that
to
our
next
meeting
for
our
committee
to
have
a
chance
to
develop
our
work
plan.
So
then
yeah
colleen.
Q
Sure
so
we
need
to
accept
our
or
approve
our
slate
of
meeting
dates,
which
is
the
second
of
second
thursday
of
every
month
from
three
to
five
pm.
So
do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
that
meet
those
meeting
dates.
A
Yep
and
colleen,
if
I
could
just
interrupt
quickly,
there
are
two
months
where
we
can't
meet
on
the
second
thursday,
because
there
are
holidays
or
it's
another
date
of
special
significance.
A
So
what
I
have
what
I
proposed,
which
was
linked
to
the
agenda,
I
can
actually
just
share
it
here
again,
was
in
may
it
would
be
the
first
thursday
so
may
6th
and
in
november,
where
there's
also
a
conflict,
it
would
be
the
third
thursday
so
november
18th.
So
those
two
months
are
different.
Just
wanted
to
flag
that
great.
Thank.
I
L
M
A
Yes,
okay,
there
you
are
charlotte
kinsley,
yes,
liliana,
latran,
garcia,
yes,
brenda
marcos.
T
J
N
Y
Y
F
A
Q
Great
great
thanks
for
doing
that,
okay
and
then
sorry
in
terms
of
our
bylaws
are
sorry
on
this
one.
Our
I'm
trying
to
remember
are
we
just
going
over
them
when
we
only
have
five
minutes
left
here
right
now,.
AE
K
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
just
you
know:
they're,
not
that
long.
We
can
just
go
over
them
quickly,
but
with
them
kind
of
with
the
plan
of
making
sure
we're
all
on
the
same
page
about
what
we're
going
to
do
for
leadership
selection
at
our
next
meeting,
so
katie
is
sharing
her
screen.
So
this
is
it's
the
second
page.
The
document
is
linked
to
the
agenda
and
the
first
page
is
just
sort
of
a
committee
overview,
so
this
is
page
two
of
that.
So
these
are
what
we
adopted.
K
As
I
mentioned
earlier.
This
number
one
here
is
about.
Our
leadership,
was
intentionally
left
somewhat
open
to
different.
You
know
numbers
or
roles
of
a
leadership
team,
as
I
think
we've
discussed
colleen
and
I
have
been
serving
as
co-chairs.
Brenda
marcos
has
been
serving
as
a
vice
chair
or
kind
of
a
co-chair
and
scott
schaefer
has
been
a
secretary
again.
K
We
adopted
these
bylaws
with
the
idea
that
they
could
change
so,
but
we
do
want
to
have
you
know
a
couple
two
three
four
leaders
available
to
work
with
staff
to
facilitate
the
meetings
and
steer
and
make
sure
that
the
agenda
is
in
place
and
do
a
little
bit
of
extra
work
in
between
meetings.
So
that's
number
one
number
two
is
just
that
we
meet
monthly
and
again
we.
This
is
left
open,
but
we
have
decided
at
least
for
now
that
we've
would
meet
monthly
for
two
hours.
K
K
This
members
are
expected
to
attend
all
regularly
scheduled
meetings
to
the
best
of
their
ability.
I
would
say
in
my
role
as
a
co-chair,
it's
nice
to
have
a
heads
up
when
possible,
if
someone's
not
able
to
join.
We
know
things
happen
and
don't
expect
100
attendance
from
everyone,
but
we
definitely
found
that
meetings
were
more
meaningful,
the
more
people
who
could
come
and
engage
so
we
just
work.
You
know
respectfully
request.
I
think
this
staff,
it's
helpful
for
staff
for
them
to
know
who's
going
to
be
present.
K
There
were
a
couple
of
meetings
in
2019
and
2020
where
we
did
not
have
a
quorum,
at
least
for
the
first
table,
future
we'll
be
meeting
virtually
so
hopefully
it's
a
lit.
We
don't
have
some
of
the
barriers,
but
we
certainly
have
new
barriers.
We
already
talked
about
the
staff
that
support
our
committee.
That's
number
five
and
katie
mentioned
that
we
give
an
annual
report
to
the
committee
structure
is
a
little
different
right
now
in
city
council,
but
we
give
an
annual
report
to
city
council.
K
Our
meetings
are
open
to
the
public.
Non-Members
have
to
join
by
phone
rather
than
through
teams
like
through
the
whole
functionality
of
teams
for
now,
but
we'll
see
how
long
we're
doing
it
virtually
like
this
agendas
are
set
by
the
says
the
chair,
but
really
it's
the
the
leaders
with
committee
staff,
and
this
just
gives
the
time
that
they're
posted
this
number
nine
is
also
left
sort
of
open,
we'll
follow
an
agreed
upon
decision
making
process.
K
Maybe
next
meeting
we
can
just
go
over
how
we've
done
voting
and
decisions
when
we've
taken
official
action
in
the
past
and
just
bylaws
can
be
amended
by
a
two-thirds
vote
and
some
details
about
voting
as
katie
mentioned
earlier.
In
this
virtual
meeting
time,
we
have
to
do
all
votes
by
roll
call
by,
as
we've
done
several
times
already
this
meeting.
So
we've
got
that
down,
so
it's
4
59
we
had
talked
about.
K
Maybe
just
saying
we
will
plan
to
vote
on
a
leadership
team
at
our
february
meeting,
but
is
there
any
discussion
or
comments
right
now,
so
I'll
just
put
that
out
as
the
default
are
there?
Would
there
be
concerns
from
the
group
about
voting
on
our
leadership
team
at
the
february
meeting
folks
could
email
their
interest
around
to
the
group
in
the
meantime,
or
we
could
just
accept
nominations
at
our
february
meeting.
K
And
I
would
say
any
of
us,
you
know
who
have
been
serving
in
these
roles
would
be
more
than
happy
to
chat
offline
with
anyone
interested
and
I'm
sure
staff
would
too
about.
If
anyone
has
questions,
but
for
now,
why
don't?
If
everyone
can
consider
whether
you
would
like
to
put
your
name
forward
for
a
leadership
role,
and
we
will
plan
to
discuss
those
and
plan
to
take
a
vote
at
our
february
meeting,
which
is
february
11th?
I
believe.
K
All
right,
it's
five
o'clock:
we
did
it,
but
we
didn't
do
it,
but
we
did
what
we
could
do
so
so
good
to
see
and
hear
from
all
of
you.
I'm
really
excited
about
the
work
that
we're
all
gonna
do
together
this
year.
