C
B
D
Lubes

have
a
quorum.
Thank
you.
Please

I

D
D
Commissioner
mcgilvery,
thank
you
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
minutes
are
approved.
The
next
item
is
approval
of
the
agenda.
D
E
D
D
All
right
public
comment
is
closed.
We
moved
on
we
move
on
to
communications.
There
are
three
items
in
communications:
an
update
on
fema
reimbursements
as
of
december
31st,
the
firehouse
subs
public
safety
foundation
to
purchase
equipment
for
the
sheriff's
search
and
rescue
team.
And
the
third
item
is
the
hazardous
materials
emergency
preparedness
grant.
D
D
We
are
on
our
regular
agenda
item.
The
first
item
under
our
regular
agenda
is
a
presentation
by
beyond
basics.
Literacy
is
for
everyone,
and
I
would
invite
pamela
good
to
come
to
the
front
of
the
table
for
a
presentation
or
the
side.
I
don't
know
how
you
want
to
do
that.
Okay,
perfect,
perfect,
welcome,
yeah.
F
Thank
you
so
pleased
to
be
here,
and
we
have
to
thank
janet
jackson
and
tom
and
I
think
david
woodward,
I
know
he's
not
here
today,
but
we've
had
some
folks
hear
this
story
and
think
that
it
needs
to
be
spread
and
that's
why
they've
invited
us.
Oh.
B
A
F
So
so
I
guess
I
just
give
a
brief
history.
Before
we
go
into
the
slideshow
20
years
ago,
it
was
in
1999.
F
I
delivered
coats
to
a
school
on
behalf
of
eastover
elementary
school
in
bloomfield
we
went
to
hermann,
rogers
academy
downtown,
and
I
would
say
that
my
eyes
were
open
to
you
know
just
a
community
that
seemed
to
need
everything.
They
didn't
have
all
the
extras
at
our
kids
that
went
far
beyond
coats
that
they
needed.
F
Literacy
is
not
a
one
size
fits
all.
Some
kids
are
a
little
bit
behind,
and
some
of
the
kids,
especially
in
high
school,
can
be
six
seven,
eight
grade
levels
behind,
and
so
they
get
stuck
at
different
points,
and
so
our
first
grade
level
movement
through
an
intensive
one-on-one
curriculum
was
in
2008.
F
So
that's
our
background
and
the
slideshow
really
just
kind
of
shows
the
impact
of
illiteracy
on
society,
and
it
gives
laser
focus
to
it
to
the
flaw
so
that
we
can
come
together
and
solve
this,
and
I
would
say
if
this
gets
embraced,
with
some
zeal
that
in
any
school
district
anywhere
from
one
to
five
years,
you
could
have
your
kids
literate
and
we
could
be.
You
know
this
problem
could
be
behind
us
in
a
very
short
period
of
time.
D
But
we're
interested
in
the
information
commissioner
kuhn
brought
this
to
our
attention
and
we,
I
think
individually,
have
always
felt
that
tutoring
is
an
important
piece,
especially
in
the
pandemic,
when
children
were
removed
to
remote
learning
for
a
period
of
time
and
lost
many
skills.
So
thank
you
for
being
here.
F
A
Powell-
and
I
just
want
to
say
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
sean
just
to
let
my
colleagues
know,
sean
has
been
trying
to
get
me
to
come
and
see
the
center
down
south
oakland
for
about
a
couple
months
now,
but
we've
had
schedule
conflict.
So
I
want
to
thank
my
colleague
mr
I
mean
commissioner
for
bringing
this
before
us,
so
we
can
finally
see
this
wonderful
presentation,
because
I
know
my
district
is
it's
duly
needed,
so
I'm
hoping
that
I
can
assist
in
making
some
connections
moving
forward.
Wonderful,
thank
you.
F
There
we
go,
I
wonder
if
they
can
make
it,
do
you
think
they
can
go
yep.
Of
course
they
can
go
full
strength,
it's
great!
So
I
you
know,
I've
learned
that
this
isn't
just
detroit's
problem,
michigan's
problem.
This
is
america's
problem.
This
is
what
I
talk
about
in
our
state
is
across
america.
It's
because
we
have
a
similar
educational
model
everywhere.
F
So
we
have
a
problem
everywhere,
but
we
can
also
roll
out
the
solution
very
quickly
because
it
is
that
same
model,
so
I
call
it
the
america's
largest
and
most
solvable
disability,
okay.
Next,
what
is
the
literacy
gap?
We're
going
to
define
that
just
so
we
have
something
to
talk
about.
We
say
beyond
basics.
That
is
if
a
child
is
more
than
a
grade
level
behind
in
k-12
education,
so
more
than
a
grade
level
behind
their
academic
grade,
they
fall
into
the
literacy
gap.
F
Next,
why
that's
significant
is
detroit
we're
using
as
an
example
there's
about
52
000
children.
43
percent
of
those
students
are
in
the
gap
they're
more
than
a
grade
level
behind
and
I'm
here
to
tell
you
that
they
start
out
at
two
or
three
grade
levels
behind
and
they
continue
to
stay
behind.
F
So
it's
a
epidemic
and
in
our
vulnerable
communities.
It's
worse
only
because
there
are
more
kids
that
are
in
that
gap,
but
they're
they're
kids
in
the
gap
in
every
district.
Next.
F
So
what
happens
is
as
society
we're
funding
education,
we're
funding
a
phenomenal
educational
model.
We
have
a
phenomenal
model
in
america,
the
the
model
isn't
broken.
We
don't
have
to
reinvent
education,
but
there
is
a
detrimental
flaw,
and
that
flaw
is
that
our
kids
are
not
able
to
read
and
write
the
language
that
we're
rolling
out
the
curriculum
in.
F
You
can't
even
measure
the
teachers,
because
the
model
is
set
up
so
that
a
teacher
would
take
a
class
of
third
graders
and
prepare
them
for
fourth
grade
and
what
we
find
is
they're
having
to
do
remediation
and
they
can't
do
one-on-one
when
30
out
of
33
kids
in
their
class
are
not
reading
at
grade
level,
and
so
there's
a
flaw
that
we
can
through
partners
flatten
that
curve
vocabulary.
But
really
we
need
to
flatten
the
curve,
because
this
problem
has
gone
on
for
so
long.
So
right
now.
F
What
we
have
is
that
about
50
15
percent
of
the
kids
in
detroit
are
able
to
plug
into
life,
as
all
of
us
believe
that
everyone's
able
to
do
to
get
a
job
to
go
to
college,
while
85
percent
of
them
are
not
able
to
read
well
enough
to
get
a
job
and
they
fall
into
a
social
service
system
and
they
become
dependent
one
way
or
the
other
on
society.
We've
included
corrections
workforce
development
because
there
is
a
correlation
between
illiteracy
and
the
problems
we
have
in
our
jails.
F
F
So
what
we've
done
here
is
to
take
the
lowest
achieving
district
in
a
in
a
county
and
compare
it
to
the
highest,
achieving
and
we're
focusing
on
the
literacy
gap.
So
you
can
see.
In
detroit,
we've
talked
about
the
literacy
gap.
The
kids
in
that
gap
are
85
percent,
but
in
gross
point
public
schools,
people
find
it
hard
to
believe
in
wayne
county
highest.
Achieving
public
school
has
28
percent
in
the
gap.
That's
a
pre-coveted
number
people
say
well.
What
makes
up
that
gap?
F
Well,
some
of
the
parents
from
detroit
get
their
kids
to
gross
point
thinking,
they're
going
to
get
literacy
but
nope.
The
flaw
is
in
every
district.
They
do
not
get
the
intensive
literacy
that
they
need
to
improve
the
other
children
that
are
in
that
gap
at
a
higher
percentage.
We
see
more
and
more
children
with
adhd
dyslexia,
autism,
even
english
language
learners
who
may
speak
the
language.
They
cannot
read
and
write
it
and
they
fall
into
the
gap
and
they're
not
able
to
access
the
education
that
we're
funding
for
them.
F
Now,
in
oakland,
county
pontiac
is
the
lowest
in
terms
of
they
have
more
kids
in
the
literacy
gap,
but
rochester
community
schools.
This
is
21,
is
a
2019
number.
We
did
just
do
a
new
number
there's
30
percent,
now
of
kids
in
the
literacy
gap
in
rochester
community
schools,
and
I
will
we've
tutored
some
of
the
kids
parents
have
found
us
over
the
years
because
the
schools
don't
offer
this
intensive,
one-on-one,
tutoring
and
one
of
the
parents.
F
One
of
the
dramatic
cases
that
I'll
talk
about
now
their
son
went
to
rochester
community
schools
was
a
ninth
grader
autistic
and
the
school
basically
said
that
they
really
couldn't
help
him
learn
to
read,
and
she
we
crossed
paths
and
she
said:
can
you
help
him,
and
I
said
I
don't
know
bring
him
in
so
we
assessed
him
and
we
found
out.
He
was
reading
at
a
fourth
grade
level
and
here
he's
in
a
classroom
of
kids
who
read
it
in
ninth
grade
level,
so
it
exasperated
his
autism.
F
She
came
out
to
southfield
every
day
after
school
for
two
three
months
and
we
we
tested
him
after
that
time
and
we
were
able
to
get
him
reading
at
the
ninth
grade
level.
He's
reading
above
a
high
school
grade
level
now
and
he's
college
bound,
so
life
changing.
So
these
are
kids
that
were
really
you
know
it's
a
death
sentence
really
for
their
lives.
F
So
what
we
did
here
is
to
pull
a
literacy
gap
together
and
we
could.
We
can
share
this
with
you
because
there's
a
lot
of
numbers
on
it,
but
one
I
wanted
you
to
see.
We
go
to
public
scores
on
that.
The
education
keeps
on
levels
of
deficiency
tier
one,
two
three
four
and
we're
able
to
correlate
it
to
a
level
of
literacy
intervention,
and
so
that's
how
we
end
up
determining
how
many
kids
are
in
the
gap
in
a
particular
district
and
you
can
see
as
a
total.
F
Overall,
you
have
41
percent
in
oakland
county
people
find
that
shocking.
You
have
63
320
kids
this
year
attending
public
education
that
are
more
than
a
grade
level
behind
and
you
have
in
oakland
county.
You
have
schools
like
troy
and
we
have
met
with
the
mayor
there.
24
percent
3
000
students
now
troy,
is
a
high
achieving
district,
but
the
way
you
get
to
be
a
high
achieving
district
is
you
have
more
high
achieving
students
than
the
other
districts.
F
It
doesn't
mean
that
you
don't
have
students
that
need
additional
help,
and
so
it
kind
of
dilutes
the
those
kids
you
know
they
fall
under
the
radar,
the
ones
that
need
help
because
they're
attending
a
high,
achieving
school
and
so
in
any
district
I
was
thinking
you
have.
I
think
one
of
the
highest
is
65
percent
of
the
kids.
You
don't
have
any
schools.
F
So
this
is
this
just
one
slide
to
talk
about
our
our
curriculum,
so
the
flaw
I've
talked
about
is
kids
in
the
literacy
gap.
They
can't
read
they're
more
than
a
grade
level
behind,
but
another
flaw
and
I
think
that
this
evolved
partially
because
of
no
child
left
behind,
but
the
assessments
that
the
state
are
giving
right
now
cause
kids
to
just
fall
in
proficiency
areas.
They're
assessed
online
oftentimes
in
groups
and
they're,
either
put
in
advanced
proficiency
proficient
or
below
proficiency,
but
they
don't
really
zero
in
and
say.
F
Why
is
that
student
behind
and
how
far
is
he
behind?
And
so
what
we
do
is
to
start
out.
We
have
certified
teachers
that
work
for
us
to
administer
the
woodcock
reading
mastery
test.
It's
a
test
that
enabled
that
luke
for
us
to
see
that
that
ninth
grader
was
reading
at
a
fourth
grade
level.
The
boy
is
on
the
right:
that's
elijah!
We
met
him
at
central
high
school.
He
was
a
senior
he
was
reading
at
a
first
grade
level.
F
You
need
to
know
that
he's
reading
at
a
first
grade
level
and
not
just
at
a
10th
grade
level,
to
know
how
to
help
him.
So
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
educators
have
to
change
going
forward
is,
we
have
to
start
doing
an
intestine
of
one-on-one
assessment.
I
think
it
should
be
at
third
sixth
ninth
grades.
F
Now,
initially,
we've
got
to
go
in
and
assess
them
all
and
get
them
reading.
But
after
we
get
all
these
kids
reading,
you
do
need
to
continue
to
assess
kids
to
see
that
you
don't
start
building
up
an
epidemic
of
this
in
the
future.
So
we
assess
kids
we
partner
with
districts.
They
give
us
a
room
that
we
run
our
programs
out
of.
We
are
during
the
school
day
model,
so
we
work
alongside
the
the
principals
and
the
teachers
there
we
set
up
our
beyond
basics:
literacy
center.
F
There's
start
points
into
a
curriculum
wherever
you
start
on
the
left.
You
finish
the
whole
program
so
that,
if
you
start
at
the
readiness
you
have
a
14
week
program,
if
you
start
at
read
to
rise,
you
have
a
10
week.
Program
scholars
are
for
those
kids
who
are
less
than
a
grade
level
behind
in
our
beyond
basics,
intensive
one-on-one,
tutoring
program.
F
We
are
able
to
get
even
kids
who
are
reading
at
grade
level,
reading
two
grade
levels
above
and
that's
a
tremendous
boost
for
children,
especially
those
that
are
college
bound
and-
and
so
this
really
is
for
everyone,
even
those
who
can
read
it's
good
for
them
to
read
better,
and
it
is
essential
for
the
kids
who
are
more
than
a
grade
level
behind
to
get
tutoring.
Otherwise
we
are
wasting
their
educational
dollars
and
and
I'll
end
with
saying
that
there
was
a
literacy
lawsuit.
F
I
don't
know
if
you
all
all
of
you
heard
about
it,
but
it
was
filed
in
2015
on
behalf
of
about
six
public
school
kids.
In
detroit.
After
all
the
appeals,
they
ended
up
being
awarded
forty
thousand
dollars
each
and
a
hundred
million.
I
think
that
are
going
to
five
cities
in
our
state
over
the
next
five
years,
giving
them
some
literacy
dollars
for
intensive
work.
F
If
we
don't
get
in
front
of
this,
the
lawsuits
are
going
to
flourish
in
reno
nevada.
There
was
one
that
was
just
announced
within
the
last
few
months
where
a
family
was
awarded
340
000
because
they
went
to
private
school
and
were
refunded
that
money
for
that,
because
they
were
able
to
get
the
intervention
they
need.
Our
program
on
average
is
thirty:
five
hundred
dollars
a
child.
It's
one
time
they
become
readers
and
they're
able
to
move
on
a
student
like
elijah,
a
12th
grader
reading
at
a
first
grade
level.
F
Those
are
rare,
more
rare,
they're,
usually
reading
at
a
fourth
or
fifth
grade
level.
Sometimes
the
kids
need
a
double
dose
and
when
they
just
show
up
in
some
of
the
communities
you
have,
you
know
it's
hard
for
the
kids
to
get
to
school.
It
takes
longer
for
them
to
get
that
dosage.
But
you
know
our
kids
deserve
this.
They
need
it
now,
and
you
know
when
you
look
at
k-12
education
in
detroit,
we're
investing
a
little
over
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
F
We
should
pay
on
average
thirty
five
hundred
dollars
so
that
they
can
access
that
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
investment
illiteracy
is
connected
to
almost
every
social
ill
in
america.
It
leads
to
a
lot
of
false
narratives
people,
believe
they
can't
when
they
they
are
perfectly
capable,
and
our
work
proves
that
you
can
be
in
the
lowest
performing
school
in
the
worst
school
district
in
our
state,
and
you
are
able-
and
we
know
that
now-
what
are
we
going
to
do
that?
F
We
know
the
kids
are
able
and
they
just
need
a
little
bit
of
a
boost,
and
so
I
appeal
to
you
today
to
advocate
for
beyond
basics
for
our
work.
But
if
we
embrace
this
as
a
state,
you
know
I
we
need
to
triage
this.
We
need
to
do
this
as
well
as
we
can
and
as
fast
as
we
can,
and
we
would
love
to
oversee
that
initiative,
because
we
have
been
advocates
for
fighting
that
the
kids
get
absolutely
what
they
need.

On
average,
a
literary
educated
adult
will
earn
50
to
60
000
per
year,
while
an
illiterate
adult
will
earn
less
and
be
much
more
dependent
on
the
27
billion
dollars
in
social
services.
Michigan
will
spend
here
every
year
of
their
adult
lives.
There
is
a
significant
monetary
gap
that
has
its
origins
in
the
literacy
gap
at
beyond
basics.
We
have
a
rather
unique
definition
of
illiteracy.
G
F
So
we
have
these
videos
there's
another
short
video
about
our
work
in
a
high
school.
So
you
can
see
what
the
beyond
basics
room's
like.
We
can
send
that
via
email,
so
that
you
could
watch
them
and
maybe
hear
it
a
little
more
clearly.
Are
there
any
questions,
commissioner
hoffman
well.
E
It's
not
really
a
question,
it's
just
comment
and
we
talked
a
little
earlier
before
the
meeting.
I
want
to
thank
you
very,
very
much
for
what
you
and
sean
are
doing,
and
everybody
else
in
your
group.
I
remember
a
famous
quote
from
frederick
douglass
and
it
you
probably
have
heard
it
before
it's
easier
to
be
build
strong
children
than
to
fix
broken
men,
and
I
think
this
is
probably
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
I
applaud
you.
E
A
Mr
powell,
from
a
historical
perspective,
if
you
can
answer
this,
when
did
I
know
it's
always
been
a
challenge
because
I'm
born
and
raised
from
pontiac,
but
to
see
the
increase
now
overspread
over
the
whole
county,
which
is
that's
shocking.
You
know,
when
you
look
at
how
many
students
we
have
that's
over
half
and
it
is
everywhere
now
you
know
so.
My
question
is
even-
and
I
know
it
like
a
lot
of
the
numbers
you've
given
us
is
pre-covet,
so
I
could
just
imagine
now
all
kids
is
affected.
A
I
don't
care
the
color
of
your
skin,
where
you
live
at
everybody's
impact
they're
on
educational,
especially
our
high
school
kids.
It's
like
my
daughter's
in
high
school
now,
so
I
can
understand
what
is
really
going
on,
because
there
is
a
lot
that
they're
not
seeing
they
don't
know,
and
you
know
programs
like
this
is
beneficial
for
all
of
us
in
all
our
districts.
So
my
question
is
sorry.
I
kind
of
went
off
a
little
bit.
A
Historically,
when
did
we
start
seeing
the
gap
getting
larger
because
it
seems
like,
and
I've
been
in
government
for
a
while
now
as
far
as
working,
but
it's
like
and
I
know
sean
I
we
go
back
he
when
he
worked
in
his
congress.
You
know
when
he
was
working
for
congress,
it's
like
when
did
this
start?
How
did
it
get
so
bad
and
again
oakland
county?
How
how.
F
Yes,
I
think
that,
as
a
society,
we've
made
some
really
bad
decisions
over
the
last
50
years,
and
some
of
it
is
just
evolving.
You
know.
Sometimes
things
present
themselves
as
good
and
we
find
out
later
it
wasn't,
but
I
think
that
you
know,
I
know
that
defunding
parochial
schools
took
some
necessary
that
individual
that
relationship
out
of
the
picture
changing
the
assessments
hid
it
from
us
so
that
we
didn't
know
that
elijah's
reading
at
a
first
grade
level,
we
just
thought:
oh
he's
a
little
behind.
F
I
know
from
speaking
to
families
in
the
city
of
detroit.
They
think
that
the
drugs
in
the
80
really
decimated
the
families
and
and
brought
a
lot
of
hardship
to
that
community,
but
I
do
think
just
from
a
broader
spiritual
sense
that
if
you
have
people
suffering
in
your
area-
and
you
don't
tend
to
it,
it
spreads
and
it
ended
up
going
under
the
radar.
I
think
also
you
had
the
information
age
kick
in
with
schools,
and
you
had
these
overpopulation
of
areas
and
schools
were
just
trying
to
be.
F
You
know
technology
be
the
best
they
could
and
they
they
just
had
all
these
kids.
We
know
that
you
start
to
have
two
parent
workers
in
the
home,
so
the
schools
were
now
latchkey.
They
were
before
and
after
they
were
trying
to
pick
up
the
the
learning
the
parents
engagement.
You
know
the
school
was
trying
to
pick
it
up,
so
they
really
were
hit
with
a
perfect
storm,
and
you
know
I
so
there's
lots
of
little
reasons.
I
think
that
we
tend
to.
F
If
we
find
yourself
blaming,
it
means
we're
not
solving,
and
so
I
look
at
it
that
it
was
a
perfect
storm,
but
we
know
this
now,
but
we
not
only
know
it
now.
There's
a
solution
and
every
child
should
be
tested
in
our
schools,
and
every
child
should
be
given
the
literacy
intervention
they
need
and
the
quicker
that
michigan
gets
going
with
this,
because
look
at
we've
piloted
this
in
detroit.
F
If
this
works
in
detroit,
it
can
work
anywhere
and
this
state
can
be
a
beacon
of
light
for
how
to
turn
everything
around.
We
have
worked
a
couple
pilot
projects.
One
is
immokalee
florida
with
migrant
children.
So
there's
a
language
barrier,
but
we've
been
in
el
paso.
You
know
these
are
immigrant
kids,
250,
000,
kids
in
the
el
paso
district
and
literacy
levels
like
you
would
find
in
80
percent
illiterate.
F
So
these
states
need
this
everywhere,
and
these
are
all
people
that
can
be
powered
at
this
time.
So
I
think
this
is
a
perfect
solution.
You
know
god's
divine
timing
that
we
have
something
that
can
bring
us
together
right
now
in
in
all
socioeconomic
levels,
in
all
cities
that
we
can
come
together
and
it
will
take
people
coming
together
in
the
communities
to
fund
it
and
to
be
tutors
and
to
get
in
there
and
help
us
partner
and
flatten
the
curve.
I
I
guess
I'll
finish
by
this
one
comment:
it's
americans!
F
We
are
very
interesting
people.
We
have
tremendous
heart
and
we're
willing
to
give
up
almost
everything
for
someone
else.
That
is
true
of
us.
Even
in
this
day,
when
you
hear
us
being
ripped
to
shreds
by
people
the
way
we
respond
to
natural
disasters,
I
mean,
where
else,
do
you
you're
just
willing
to
drop
everything
and
go
help?
I
mean
the
latest
one.
Is
the
the
tornadoes
in
kentucky
in
a
natural
disaster?
We
don't
blame,
we
think
it
happened.
We
just
we
just
go
help.
F
We
send
our
money
with
these
epidemics
that
sneak
up
on
us
over
time.
We
blame
yeah,
we
pull
yourself
up
by
your
bootstraps.
Aren't
we
given
the
government's
taking
money?
I
think
the
government
funding
social
services
and
taking
it
away
from
the
faith-based
communities.
Faith-Based
communities
went
in
and
helped
a
person
with
relationship
and
their
needs.
The
state
just
sends
paper
and
people
need
more
than
paper.
F
They
need
each
other
to
pick
them
up,
and
so
we
haven't
been
good
at
solving
those
problems
that
sneak
up
on
us
over
time,
but
they
are
solvable
and
and
we
need
to
come
together
and
do
it.
So
this
is
america's
problem
right
now
and
there
is
a
solution
and
the
sooner
we
get
going,
the
better
off
we'll
all
be.
F
We've
worked
in
pontiac
in
years
past.
I'd
say
a
couple
years
before
there
was
a
change,
the
district
just
like
when
the
state
was
almost
taking
the
school
district
over
we
ended
up.
You
know
it
was
just
got
more
confusing,
so
we
pulled
out
that
year.
That
was
a
couple
years
before
covet,
but
you
know
I
definitely
would
like
to
be
back
in
pontiac
and
benton
harbor
and
flint
and
lansing
and
a
lot
of
these
communities.
F
F
So
if
we
were
to
pull
that
slide
up,
if
you
take
the
number
of
kids
in
the
gap-
and
you
just
say
thirty-
five
hundred
dollars
a
student-
the
districts
that
are
on
par
with
detroit's
numbers
are
going
to
be
3.
500
districts
that
are
you
know,
maybe
more
high,
achieving
they
may
not
be
as
far
behind,
but
it's
a
good
average
number
to
work
with,
but
it's
3
500.
So
I
think
we
didn't
put
the
price.
F
I
also
have
a
price
tag
of
literacy
and
I
think
you
you're
all
sitting
down
right.
I
think
it's
like
220
million
dollars
for
oakland
county,
which
is
a
lot,
but
that's
why
we
have
to
look
to
the
state
and
to
public
private.
You
know
we
have
been
philanthropically
funded
all
these
years.
There
are
a
lot
of
businesses
that
would
be
happy
to
help
with
initiative
like
this.
F
So
my
recommendation
is
that
we
would
choose
the
highest
achieving
in
the
lowest
achieving
district
or
one
of
those
low,
achieving
districts
in
oakland
county
that
we
would
go
in
and
get
every
child
and
pilot
it
just
to
start
bringing
every
child
who's
capable
and
every
child
in
the
gap
into
the
forefront,
because
we
have
that
opportunity
here
and
I
don't
know
of
other
intensive
programs
like
this
around
the
country.
I've
looked
for
them.
I
think,
because
we
had
to
raise
the
money
for
it
over
the
years
and
it
wasn't
necessarily
easy.
F
F
So
we
can
look
so
it's
on
state
records.
You
can
go
and
look
at
the
way
each
school
district
tested
in
it's
interesting.
I
think
the
schools
track
the
data
because
they
get
more
dollars
depending
on
how
far
a
student
is
behind
someone
calling
learning
differences
disabilities,
so
they
put
tears
around
their
kids,
a
tier
one,
a
tier
two,
a
tier
three,
a
tier
four
and
those
correlate
with
literacy
tests,
and
so
a
tier
one
is
going
to
be
that
student.
F
B
B
F
Yeah,
I
mean
tip,
you
know
when
we
started
out.
We
just
partnered
with
principals
raised
dollars.
Partnered
with
principals
did
our
work
in
the
schools.
Detroit
had
an
emergency
financial
manager
for
years,
so
it
wasn't
until
we
got
a
regular
superintendent
that
was
dyslexic
as
a
child,
so
he
understood
stood
this
in
pontiac.
We
worked
with
the
superintendents
depending
on
the
superintendent
and
the
curriculum
team
they're
going
to
feel
like
they're,
addressing
this
and
not
want
an
outside
partner,
so
that
has
been
if
there's
an
obstacle
in
it
being
embraced.
F
F
It's
a
really
lovely
partnership
in
the
schools
and
we
can
take
you
all
on
tours
the
one
that's
angelus
detroit's
back
in
person
as
of
this
week,
and
so
anytime
you'd
like
to
take
a
tour
and
see
we
take
you
right
into
school,
see
our
room,
but
it
we
work
really
well
with
the
principals
and
the
teams
and
in
the
schools,
but
it'd
be
great
to
speak
to
your
daughter.
What
district
in
yeah
yeah
so
so
she's
very
aware
of
this,
and
she
knows
that
intensive
one-on-one
helps.
F
You
know
I've
just
been
bold
enough
to
say:
let's
do
it,
you
know
because
you
know
they're
looking
at
the
teachers,
how
can
a
teacher
do
that?
But
no
they
need
some
partners
just
like
with
covet
the
hospitals
needed
partners.
You
know
they're,
the
hurricane
people
need
police
fire.
They
all
need
help
when
they
have
a
crisis,
and
education
has
a
crisis
right
now
and
it's
literacy.
A
F
Yeah
yeah,
I
mean
we
should
be
in
pontiac
and
I
mean
if
you
really
want
to
do
it,
I'm
I'll
go
to
folks.
I
know
too,
and
try
and
fund
it.
F
A
F
The
question
is
what
literacy
interventionists
around
are
doing
intensive
one-on-one
an
hour
a
day
five
days
a
week,
there's
a
lot
of
literacy
interventions,
but
they've.
Basically.
So
this
is
another
problem
in
america,
we've
created
pipelines
of
money
and
then
we
start
serving
for
what
that
pipeline
pays
for
the
pipeline
in
education,
the
literacy
coaches.
So
all
of
the
the
governor's
putting
more
money
in
literacy,
coaches,
they're,
putting
more
money
in
the
less
than
a
grade
level
behind
intervention,
I
call
it
the
amoxicillin
of
illiteracy,
that's
where
most
literacy
providers.
F
F
We
want
to
ensure
that
kids
get
what
they
need
and
that
is
intensive
one-on-one
an
hour
a
day
five
days
a
week,
and
so
the
question
after
they
give
you
this
list
is
to
look
at
their
what
they're,
providing
and
it
isn't
for
this
group.
It
isn't
for
the
84
that
you
have
in
pontiac
they're
not
getting
what
they
need.
You
know
if
we
stick
with
amoxicillin
amoxicillin
works
for
some
some
need
surgery
and
the
84
percent.
In
the
gap
need
the
surgery
and
that's
what
is
missing
across
america.
F
F
Yes,
thank
you,
and
you
know
I
will
say
one
other
flaw.
I
mean
for
years
the
government
has
been
funding
adults
in
literacy
and
we
say
why
haven't
we
seen
the
results
of
that?
They
require
that
adults
and
vulnerable
communities
come
to
them
and
you
have
to
have
the
consistency
and
so
they're
not
getting
enough
enough
of
the
dosage,
and
so
yes,
those
adults
would
benefit
from
intensive
one-on-one,
and
you
know
we
just
need
to
get
going.
They
need
our
help.
Yes,
thank
you
yeah.
Thank
you.
D
B
F
D
F
Speaking
with
so
hillary-
and
I
crossed
paths
a
few
years
ago
when
she
was
running
reading
works
and
then
david
woodward
came
to
visit
our
programs
and
tour
it,
and
then
he
mentioned
us
to
her
and
then
she
connected
with
me,
and
so
they
have
some
learning
loss
dollars
and
they're,
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
do
some
sort
of
pilot,
and
I
think
that
this
was
one
one
piece
to
open
it
up
to
the
commissioners
here
and
see
if
people
are
on
board
for
supporting
an
initiative
like
this.
F
Yes-
and
you
know
I
I
know
tom
is
very
concerned
too
about
the
colleges
you
know
beyond.
Basics
can
help
those
bridge
program
students
also
so
once
you've
graduated.
What
do
you
do?
Where
do
you
go
to
get
this,
and
if
the
the
colleges,
the
universities
offered
intensive
one-on-one
literacy,
they
would
find
that
many
more
of
those
kids
could
actually
participate
at
the
the
community
college
and
the
you
know
university
level,
and
so
it
is
another
population,
and
this
is
the
one
last
one
last
population
that
is
on
our
radar
is
the
juvenile
centers.
F
You
know
you
have
kids
that
basically
get
into
trouble
because
they
they
leave
school,
they
can't
read
it's
not
for
them
and
we
have
some
conversations
in
wayne
county
right
now
about
going
into
those
juvenile
detention
centers
and
getting
those
kids
literate
and
so
they're
hiding
out
in
lots
of
places,
because
we
haven't
addressed
this
for
probably
four
or
five
decades.
H
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
give
kudos
again.
Hey
again,
I
used
to
be
a
social
worker
in
detroit
public
schools
and
so
the
premise
that
you
start
with
all
of
us
being
created
equal
and
then
somewhere
along
the
way
things
get
gunked
up
structurally.
D
All
right,
we
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
to
re,
receive
and
file
this
report
moving
forward.
We
can
check
in
with
administration
to
see
where
we
go.
I
think
everybody
is
overwhelmingly
positive
about
moving
forward
with
this
so
for
receiving
filing
roll
call.
Please
I'm
sorry
for
voice.
C
D
D
I
don't
would
anybody
like
to
make
a
motion
if
a
motion
by
commissioner
gerstensen
support
from
who
support
from
commissioner
cavell?
So
this
is
an
item
we've
been
talking
about?
Thank
you
for
a
few
months.
This
was
related
to
the
navigator
program
that
we
approved
and
we're
waiting
for
additional
facts
to
move
forward,
supporting
the
cost
of
direct
mental
health
services.
D
D
Oh
and
we
have
oh
thank
you,
I
see
rudy
hobbs
here
so
rudy.
Would
you
like
to
add
to
this.
I
B
I
Well,
first
of
all,
I
really
want
to
thank
the
commissioners
for
giving
us
an
opportunity
to
come
before
the
committee
and
kind
of
share
a
little
bit
more
details
answer
some
more
questions.
I
definitely
understand
you
know
the
need
to
ask
questions
for
us
to
give
you.
You
know
very
thorough
answers.
You
know
to
your
questions,
and
so
that's
why
adam
and
I
are
here
today-
I
know
that
we
have
sent
over.
I
You
know
not
only
you
know
a
new
resolution,
a
minute
resolution,
but
also
kind
of
like
a
one-pager
just
kind
of
give
you
a
sense
of
you
know
how
we
plan
to
approach
this.
You
know
as
it
relates
to
caps.
You
know
for
those
families
that
will
be
seeking
services
or
seeking
reimbursement
for
their
costs,
and
so
you
know
I
understand,
there's
a
two
thousand
dollar
cap
for
that.
I
really
would
like
to
just
kind
of
open
the
floor
up
to
kind
of
really
figure
out.
I
D
J
Yeah
well
sure
so
I
mean
if
it's
it's
approximately
a
million
dollars.
If
we
assume
you
know
every
person
utilizes
the
full
two
thousand
dollars,
then
that's
500
families.
Although
you
know
that's
a
that
assumption,
I
don't
think
it's
going
to
apply
in
all
cases
and
yeah.
I
think
one
of
the
the
key
things
that
the
the
navigator
role
will
will
do
is
look
at
the
resources
available
to
a
family
relative
to
opportunities
to
receive
services
in
the
community
that
might
also
be
low,
cost
or
no
cost
and
explore
other
available
benefits.
I
D
Thank
you.
So,
let's
say
a
family
is
in
need
of
a
co-pay
being
paid.
How
how
do
they
apply?
How
is
it
approved?
What
is
that
process.
J
So
what
we're
looking
at
is
a
situation
where
the
family
would
connect
with
our
navigator.
Our
navigator
is
going
to
be
able
to
ask
some
questions,
gather
some
information
and
then,
if
it
appears
the
family
needs
connection
to
a
service
provider.
We
can
then
explore
what
what
arrangements
might
be
need
to
be
made
with
that
server
service
provider.
Do
they
have
the
ability
to
work
on
a
sliding
scale?
Can
they
reduce
fees,
gathering
lots
of
information
on
a
case-by-case
basis
to
get
a
sense
of
what
the
out-of-pocket
costs
would
be
to
that
family?
J
If
the
family
is
going
to
then
go
forward
with
utilizing
some
of
those
supports,
we
would
issue
to
them
a
letter
detailing
you
know
the
supports
that
they're
eligible
for
and
get
really
appropriate
releases.
I
think
what
we're
looking
at
is
having
the
providers
being
able
to
invoice
us
directly.
J
Although
we
have
our
legal
exploring
this
a
little
bit
further
and
our,
and
then
we
have
somebody
in
our
budget
financial
finance
department
that
will
manage
the
invoices
track,
the
funds
to
each
family
and
the
number
of
services
covered
to
each
family
and
make
the
payments
directly
to
the
service
provider.
J
It
would
it
would
be
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
determined
based
on
the
need
of
the
individual.
The
service
that's
in
need
relative
to
where
the
family
is
situated
within
the
county
and
what's
available
to
them
there.
It's
there's,
no
stipulation
that
it
be
someone
who's
in
network
with
ochn
or
anything
along
those
lines.
K
K
And
if
if
this
money
is
not
used,
what's
the
reporting
mechanism
to
come
back
to
us
and
say
we
vote,
we've
only
used
this
amount?
I
Yeah,
I
think
it's
our
plan
to
come
back
to
you
guys
and
offer
a
report
to
to
this
committee.
I
believe
quarterly.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
you
know,
so
we
will
have
an
opportunity
that
you'll
have
an
opportunity
to
see.
You
know
exactly
how
those
dollars
are
being
used.
I
would
anticipate
that
you
know
that
we
find
ourselves
in
a
situation
where
the
money
is
not
being
used.
I
think
we
can
have
a
conversation
and
figure
out.
You
know
how
to
you
know,
repurpose
those
dollars.
I
Of
the
resolution,
I
just
can't
remember
if
I
put,
if
I
put
it
in
a
month-
quarterly
yeah
at
the
time,
but
I
did
put
something
a
resolution
that
we
will
come
back
to
this
committee
and
provide
a
report
and.
J
We've
actually
already
been
interviewing
the
navigators
and
are
in
the
prime
as
early
as
today
I
was
as
recently
as
today
I
was
in
conversation
developing.
You
know,
processes
and
procedures
around
managing
the
distribution
of
the
funds
for
co-pays
and
deductibles.
So
I
think
we
can
stand
that
up
very
quickly.
J
C
C
People
are
greatly
needed
because
working
individuals,
I'm
sure
most
of
us,
are
aware
that
we
have
access
to
mental
health
services
during
our
employers
with
our
employers,
and
they
call
them
employee
assistance,
programs
and
low-income
people
a
lot
of
times
just
get
slighted
just
because
they
might
not
be
or
have
the
benefit
of
an
employer
that
would
pay
deductibles
or
offer
counseling
to
to
the
students,
and
also
information
is
power
and
just
the
role
of
the
navigator
helping
people
through
the
system,
because
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
red
tape,
involved
a
lot
of
red
tape
and
finding
the
proper
therapists
and
the
proper
people
to
look
at
the
student
and
then
that
help
goes
on
with
helping
families.
C
Look
at
mental
health
services
with
less
stigma,
less
concern
about
them.
Being
you
know,
harmed
further
through
therapy.
Might
not
you
know,
might
not
even
be
aware
of
the
help
that
they
could
get.
So
I
really
appreciate
this
this
program
and
we'll
be
in
support
of
it,
because
I
know
our
community,
and
especially
now
our
children
are
in
need
of
this.
This
is
following
a
threat,
a
conversation
that
we
had
earlier
in
a
committee
earlier
committee
meeting.
C
H
Thank
you,
chair
all
the
conversation
and
we
think
of
a
couple
things
adam
and
rudy.
One
is
this
for
students,
I
guess
it
says,
services
for
students
in
schools,
but
yeah
just
confirming
this
is
for
students,
correct
students.
H
Students
and
families,
okay
and
then
this
says
that
there's
funding
set
aside.
This
is
funding
for
low-income
families,
but
then
it's
also
available
on
a
first-come,
first-served
basis.
How
do
you
thread
that
needle
to
make
sure
that,
as
commissioner
jackson
was
just
saying,
you
make
sure
you
reach
the
greatest
need.
J
Yeah
so
one
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
right
now,
obviously
we
want
to
use
the
money
to
support
the
families
where
there
is
real
need
and
where
and
who
are
most
in
need.
So
one
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
now
is
looking
at
the
family's
income
relative
to
the
federal
poverty
level
and
then
maybe
trying
to
target.
J
Families
with
200
percent
within
200
of
the
federal
poverty
level,
or
below,
to
see
how
we
can
stretch
these
dollars
to
to
have
the
most
impact
where
it's
most
needed.
H
Okay,
I
I
don't
mean
to
push
too
much,
but
if
this
is
going
to
be
a
500
family
person
program
doubled
by
balmer
foundation,
that's
a
thousand
families,
there's
210
000
children
in
oakland
county
at
200
percent
federal
poverty
line.
That's
still,
you
know
dozens
of
tens
of
thousands
any
other
sussing
out
there.
If
there's
5,
000
people
that
qualify
in
3
000
who
apply
and
there's
only
money
for
a
thousand
or
is
it?
I
think
that
yeah.
I
I
think
the
other
pieces
you
should
understand
too.
I
think
that
you
know,
if
you
are,
you
know
if
you
are
a
recipient
of
medicaid,
you
know,
ochn
is
already
going
to
provide
these
services
for
you
right,
you
know,
so
you
know
there's
going
to
be.
You
know
the
the
middle
group
that
we're
talking
about,
and
I
understand
what
you're
saying,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
families,
but
I
think
that
you
know
from
you
know:
do
we
think
that
every
family
is
going
to?
You
know
seek
out
the
services?
I
Probably
not
you
know,
but
this
is
also
you
know
at
the
very
beginning
of
this.
You
know
we
really
talked
about
you
know
with
the
with
oakland
isd
and
some
of
the
social
workers
there.
You
know
we
asked
them
hey.
How
do
we
help
you?
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
said
there
there's
just
certain
cases.
I
You
know
there
are
certain
situations.
There
are
certain
kids
that
our
that
our
school
psychologists,
our
school
counselor
and
social
workers
are
just
not
skilled
enough
to
work
with
right.
You
know,
and
so
you
know
we're
hoping
that
you
know
by
you
know,
by
a
school
recommending
to
you,
know
these
navigators
hey.
You
know,
here's
the
case
that
we
just
can't
do
anything
about
it.
I
think
that
you
know
having
navigators
you
know
having
you
know
a
you
know,
master
level,
social
worker
type
of
background.
I
You
know
they'll
be
very
comfortable
in
saying
that
hey
look.
I
think
this
is
something
that
can
be
handled
at
the
school
level.
Right
with
these
interventions.
I
think
a
school
counselor
social
worker
could
really
handle
this
and
then
there's
going
to
be
cases
that
come
to
them
and
say,
hey
look.
This
is
well
beyond
what
I
think
you
can
handle
at
the
schools,
with
the
resources
that
you
have
and
so
and
that's
kind
of
where
that's
kind
of
where
we
want
to
you
know,
fill
the
gap.
I
The
gap
is,
you
know,
really
kind
of
looking
at
some
of
the
extreme
cases.
You
know
that
are
happening
in
schools.
You
know
again,
this
is
from
principals
and
superintendents,
whom
I
meet
with
every
single
tuesday.
You
know
at
three
o'clock.
You
know
this
is
kind
of
from
them
like
there's
just
certain
cases
we
can't
handle
and
what
we
don't
want
to
do
is
have
deductibles
and
co-pays
be
barriers
and
obstacles.
You
know
to
us
serving
you
know
those
you
know
very
extreme
unique
cases,
so
I
hope
that
makes
sense.
I
Commissioner
cabell
is
you
know
we're
not
looking
to
you
know,
there's
gonna
be
some
cases
that
we
may
have
to
say.
You
know
we
think
those
resources
can
be
available
at
the
schools
and
I
think
we
all
aware
that
the
schools
have
received.
You
know
arp
dollars
directly
and
so
a
lot
of
schools
have
already
started
to
do
a
little
bit
around.
I
You
know
mental
health
and
you
know
really
addressing
some
of
the
needs
at
the
schools,
but
then
there's
going
to
be
cases
where
I
just
don't
think
that
you
know
they
need
a
professional.
They
need
somebody
outside
of
the
school,
more
of
an
expert
clinician
that
can
really
be.
You
know
really
step
in
and
be
helpful,
and
I
think
those
are
the
cases
that
we're
looking
for.
H
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
perspective.
I
appreciate
that
and
I
have
a
better
grapple
on
what
you're
going
for
here.
One
last
question,
which
you'd
mentioned
the
schools
get
arp
dollars
in
oakland
schools.
I
think
got
180
million
dollars.
H
I
I
think
the
referrals
can
come
from.
You
know
any
number
of
folks
right
I
mean
I
think
the
family
can
directly.
You
know,
contact
the
navigator.
I
envision
that
a
school
counselor.
You
know
I
will
hope
they
will
have
our
navigators
on
speed
dial.
You
know
for
cases
that
you
know
they
feel
like
they
can't
handle
it
for
schools.
I
think
that
you
know
there
could
be
a
pastor
in
the
in
a
community.
That
was
that
you
know
that's
aware
of
our
program.
Have
knowledge
of
our
program.
I
It
really
thinks
that
you
know
someone
from
their
congregation
can
be.
You
know,
benefit
from
this
program,
so
it
can
be
a
number
of
ways.
I
don't
think
that
you
know
that
the
navigator
you
know
will
have
just
you
know
one
access
point.
You
know
and
that's
the
schools.
I
don't
envision
that.
I
think
that
you
know
someone
raised
that
very
early
in
our
conversations
and
I
absolutely
agree
with
them
that
a
navigator
should
be
able
to
you
know,
be
accessible
to
anyone
in
the
community
and
then
it's
their
responsibility.
I
At
that
point,
you
know
to
you
know,
you
know,
assess
the
situation
and
you
know
and
provide
next
steps
for
that
family.
Whether
that's
next
steps
with
you
know
our
providers
to
be
a
part
of
this
program,
or
you
know
to
really
work
with
you
know,
sawfield
public
schools
and
say
hey.
I
got
a
kid
that
you
know
that
came
in
from
their
pastor.
You
know
I
want
to
learn
more
about
the.
You
know,
resources
that
you
have
there
before.
I
put
them
in
this
program.
I
Well,
I
think
ocean,
you
know,
through
some
of
you
know
their
networks
and
their.
You
know
some
of
their
avenues,
whether
it's
website,
you
know
you
know
whether
it's
some
of
their
partners
that
they
may
have
in
terms
of
getting
that
resources
to
make
it
knowledgeable,
I'm
actually
stepping
out
of
a
meeting
right
now.
You
know
that
really
talks
about.
How
do
we
make
our
county
services?
You
know
more
accessible.
I
You
know
make
sure
that
people
have
knowledge
of
our
programs,
and
what
does
that
look
like?
So
I
think
that
you
know,
through
our
ability
at
the
county
to
you,
know,
work
with
our
be
I
mean
our
partners,
whether
grassroots
or
you
know
other
organizations.
J
I
I
was,
I
was
simply
going
to
add
to
rudy's
comments
that
we
committed
early
on
to
having
a
single
one-stop
shop
phone
line
dedicated
to
this,
and
we
have
we're
working
to
embed.
You
know
a
person
managing
that
phone
to
directly
support
the
navigators
and
the
navigators
alone.
J
So
we
think
that'll
make
this
the
flow
of
communication
on
our
end,
very
seamless
for
people
reaching
out
for
those
services
and
in
terms
of
outreach,
we'll
we'll
plan
a
big
communication,
push
we're
well
connected
with
the
isd
and
in
other
programs
and
other
school
districts.
We
have
some
some
activities
going
on
where
we
can
leverage
those
connections,
and
then
you
know,
of
course,
we'll
we'll
work
with.
J
A
A
A
I
just
didn't
know
if
we
needed
my
colleagues
if
we
needed
to
list
that
just
for
our
knowledge
and
us
and
just
as
a
point
for
our
conversation
and
we
can
put
in
their
possible
match-
or
I
didn't
know
if
you
know
I'm
seeking
out
to
my
veterans
here,
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
we
would
usually
do
or
not,
because
it's
not
listed
here
now.
The
quarterly
reports
is
listed.
Thank
you
for
that
rudy.
But
I
just
didn't
know
since
he
said
it's
a
potential.
I
Will
be,
you
know,
is
to
allow
us
to
you
know,
put
the
mou
together
with
balmer
what
I
shared
with
them
and
my
in
our
transparency.
You
know
when
we
were
talking
about
this
back
in
november,
they
committed
verbally
to
support
this
program.
I
asked
him
kylie
mitchell,
who
runs
the
bomber
group.
I
asked
her
if
this
was
something
that
they'd
be
interested
in.
She
said
absolutely.
I
She
asked
how
much
I
told
her
to
match
our
million.
She
said
we
could
do
that.
She
reached
out
to
me
early
january
and
asked
asked
if
we
were
still
moving
forward
with
this.
I
told
her
that
we
were,
and
I
needed
to
get
a
committee
vote.
She
said
once
you
get
a
committee
vote
to
show
that
you
guys
are
committed
to
it.
Let
me
know,
and
then
I
will
start
the
process
on
my
side.
I
I
would
say
to
the
committee:
I
don't
think
that
you
know
whether
we
get
a
match
from
bomber
should
decide
whether
or
not
we
move
forward
with
it.
I
think
a
national
bomber
is
just
the
icing
on
the
cake
and
that's
just
a
plus.
I
don't
think
that
if
we
don't
get
a
match
from
bomber,
which
I'm
pretty
confident
we
will,
but
I
don't
think
that
should
stop
us
from
you
know
having
this
fund
in
place
and
up
and
running
and
moving
forward.
A
I
wasn't
stating
for
us
to
not
vote
for
in
support
of
it.
I
just
wanted
the
additional
information,
so
we
can
keep
it
on
our
radar
on
our
end
of
what
was
being
discussed
with
you
in
balmer,
so
that
we
know
that
there
is
a
potential
match
and
it
will
be
listed
in
this
as
a
potential
match
for
us
to
remember.
I'm
fine
with
that,
not
saying
not
to
vote
for
it.
Not
none
of
that.
I
just
wanted
it
to
be
on
our
radar
that
we
do
have
a
potential
match.
K
Just
to
refresh
everybody's
memory
back
at
the
last
meeting,
there
was
a
resolution
about
this
match
with
the
bomber
group.
However,
since
the
resolution
got
changed
at
that
december,
9th
meeting
that
was
pulled,
but
there
there
has
always
been
the
understanding
that
this
there
was
a
good
chance,
but
if
angela
you
want
to,
if
we,
if
we
want
to
add
some
no.
A
You
cleared
it
up.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
got
it
somewhere
that
we
got
it
on
our
radar
that
there's
a
potential
match,
because
what
is
presented
in
our
notes
right
now,
there's
nothing
that
says
that
at
least
with
this,
I'm
okay
with
it
being
on
there
prior,
I
get
all
that
long
as
we
got
it
somewhere.
That's
fine!
It's
on
your
radar,
I'm
good
with
it.
Definitely
I'm
not.
D
B
No,
our
commissioner,
this
is
barbara.
I
think
there
was
a
misunderstanding.
The
balmer
was
matching
the
community
in
school
program,
which
was
the
par
part
of
the
mental
health
and
well-being.
This
is
the
first
time
where
I
you
know,
I
think,
we're
hearing
about
that
amazing
opportunity
and
possibility
from
bulmer
so
to
commissioner
powell.
We
can
figure
it
out
if
we
need
it
prior
to
the
board
meeting,
so
we
don't,
as
of
now
we're
just
approving
or
just
we're,
approving
a
million
dollars
for
the
direct
pace.
D
Any
other
questions
or
comments
prompt
the
boat.
Please.
D
B
Good
afternoon,
commissioners,
so
this
is
just
a
routine
k-9
retirement,
so
canine
rig
has
reached
about
eight
years.
I
think
he's
about
eight
years
old.
He
was
a
narcotics
canine
and
he
has
reached
retirement
age.
So
we're
asking
for
your
approval
to
transfer
ownership
to
his
handler.
D
D
So
this,
the
oakland
county,
shelter
and
pet
adoption
center
has
been
awarded
a
thirty
thousand
dollar
grant
to
be
used
towards
the
construction
of
outside
dog
kennels
at
the
shelter.
D
So
this
would
accept
the
grant
funding
to
partially
fund
outside
kennels
for
the
dogs.
The
project
consists
of
design
and
construction
of
additional
outdoor
kennels
estimated
to
be
a
hundred
and
thirty
three
thousand
five
hundred
and
seven
dollars.
So
this
is
a
grant
for
thirty
thousand.
An
acceptance
of
the
grant
for
thirty
thousand
any
comments.
D
All
right
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
The
last
item
on
our
agenda
is
appropriating
american
rescue
plan
act,
local
fiscal
recovery
funds
for
the
oakland
together
housing
security
initiative
as
an
informational
item.
I
have
a
motion
by
commissioner
cavell
support
from
commissioner
powell,
and
our
chair
is
here
to
address
this.
L
L
This
is
an
opportunity
for
this
policy
committee
to
really
dig
deep
into
tr
working
towards
achieving
the
core
objective,
which
is
to
make
sure
that
when
we
use
these
dollars
to
maximize
impact
to
be
transformational
to
solving
problems,
long-term
effect
and
lev,
I
mean,
where
possible,
leveraging
additional
dollars
to
do
to
to
improve
the
lives
of
the
the
community
that
we
serve.
So
this
particular
one
in
housing-
and
I
want
to
commend
everyone.
I
know
there's
many
people
around
this
table
been
working
on
this
issue.
L
Talking
about
this
issue,
are
you
dealing
with,
I
mean,
frankly,
an
issue
that
is
incredibly
complicated.
I
don't
think
that
it's
a
surprise
that
we've
got
a
housing
crisis
in
this
country.
It
is
an
incredibly
complicated
issue.
It's
not
unique
to
anywhere
in
this
country.
I
am
in
this
county
in
the
state
acro.
I
mean
every
state
is
dealing
with
this
challenge,
just
to
kind
of
put
it
to
scale.
We've
got
about
135
000,
lower
wage
jobs
in
oakland,
county
you're.
L
L
I
mean
the
income
scale
they're
on
the
front
lines
of
the
economy,
they're
the
ones
that
spend
most
of
their
money
being
able
to
meet
basic
needs,
including
housing,
and
given
the
complexity
of
this
issue,
everything
from
homelessness
without
a
place
to
be
to
I
mean
the
quality
of
existing
housing
stock,
the
affordability
and
attainability
of
housing,
as
well
as
the
the
need
for
new
housing
construction.
All
of
these
things
kind
of
come
together
and,
and
it's
an
opportunity
in
oakland
county
to
lean
in
to
actually
play
a
proactive
role
in
improving
that.
L
So
I
mean
you
all
have
seen
the
the
blueprint
to
end
homelessness
in
oakland
county.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
ideas
in
there
that
also
kind
of
like
nicely
mesh
with
what
we're,
what
I
mean,
what
some
of
these
ideas
that
have
kind
of
percolated
as
some
best
practices
that
can
achieve
some
of
these
core.
I
mean
these
core
objectives
so
today,
as
you
get
kind
of
talk
about
four
particular
strategies
that
are
outlining
these
proposals,
just
kind
of
I
wanted
to
share
where
we
are
in
this
process.
L
We
continue
to
work
with
the
administration
that
embraces
a
lot.
I
mean
these.
These
strategies
still
working
through
the
process
of
I
mean
figuring
out,
what's
the
what's
the
optimal
and
best
funding
stream,
because
there
are
multiple
funding
streams
that
are
available
to
us
to
help
achieve
these
things
and
looking
at
long
term
and
how
to
actually
roll
these
things
out.
L
I'm
optimistic
in
the
coming
weeks,
and
and
hopefully
at
the
next
committee
meeting,
that
we
can
have
the
administration
and
talk
in
kind
of
what
they're
thinking
from
the
financing
aspect
of
this,
but
today
there's
an
opportunity
to
bring
in
we're
so
fortunate
in
oakland
county
to
have
some
of
the
best
housing
experts
in
the
space.
To
be
able
to
talk
about
this,
I
mean
to
get
everyone.
L
I
mean
understanding
what
the
the
what
these
policy,
ideas
and
solutions
are
and
can
get
answers
to
any
questions
that
come
up
but
move
this
through
a
process,
as
the
policy
committee
kind
of
like.
Does
this
align
with
what
we
want
to
accomplish
and
then,
of
course,
the
finance
committee
that
will
delve
a
little
bit
more
to
make
sure
okay,
what
buckets
of
monies
that
we
allocate
to
it
in
total
and
from
what
pots
they
come
through.
L
And
how
are
we
going
to
continue
to
evaluate
not
just
the
the
dollar
allocation
but
make
sure
that
we
identify
what
are
the
key
metrics
for
success?
That
we
want
to
evaluate,
evaluate
to
hold
ourselves
to
account
so
that
we're
we?
We
have
some
assurance
that
we
are
improving
the
problem,
making
progress
to
end
homelessness
in
this
country
and,
most
importantly,
to
assure
that
anyone
who
works
in
oakland
county
has
a
I
mean
can
earn
enough
to
live
in
a
place
to
continue
to
work
in
oakland
county.
L
So
without
any
further
ado,
I'm
going
to
kick
it
over
to
commissioner
cavell
that
I
think
can
introduce
the
experts
that
we
have,
I
believe,
on
the
screen
behind
us,
so
there
they
are.
L
H
Thank
you
chair,
so
who
we
have
here
today
and
as
you'll
see
in
the
packet,
the
resolution
for
housing
security.
First
again,
like
chair,
said,
was
created
with
lots
of
us
here
around
this
table.
So
thanks
again
to
y'all,
but
first
the
the
three
big
items
out
of
the
four
are
an
attainable
housing
trust
fund
which
mark
craig
is
here
to
speak
to
the
ceo
and
founder
of
chn.
H
We
have
the
shelter
capacity
fund,
which
liam
mccall,
the
president
of
the
alliance
for
housing,
is
here
to
speak
to
and
then
roops
ramps
and
repairs
program.
Redux,
you
know
2.0,
which
tim
ruggles,
ceo
and
president
of
habitat
for
humanity.
Oakland
county
is
here
to
speak
to
so
if
I
could
cheer
as
if,
if
it's
all
right
to
just
let
mark
leah
and
tim,
just
kind
of
give
a
30
second
overview
of
the
things.
M
M
One
of
the
services
that
we
provide
is
a
operating
housing
resource
center,
which
currently
gets
over
a
thousand
calls
a
month
from
citizens
of
oakland
county
who
are
experiencing
some
sort
of
housing
challenge
and
far
and
away.
Affordability
and
accessibility
to
housing
is
the
biggest
challenge
that
we
hear
from
people
and
that's
people
who
are
cost
burdened.
M
People
who
are
working
and
but
not
making
enough
to
cover
all
their
basic
needs
all
the
way
through
to
people
at
the
lower
income
spectrum
who
people
with
disabilities,
people
who
are
relying
on
us
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
roof
over
their
head,
because
housing
has
been
identified
as
a
what's
called
a
key
determinant
of
population
health,
meaning
that
if
you
don't
have
a
safe,
secure,
attainable,
affordable
roof
over
your
head
that
your
chances
of
succeeding
in
mental
health
treatment.
Your
chances
of
succeeding
in
getting
your
kids
into
a
quality
education.
M
M
A
lot
of
this
information
is
described
in
attachment
a
that's
that
accompanies
your
resolution,
but
just
to
hit
on
a
few
brief
concepts.
First
of
all,
one
of
the
key
concepts
in
this
is
that
there
is
a
huge
need
in,
as
commissioner
woodward
said,
in
oakland
county
and
in
almost
every
community
across
the
state
in
terms
of
people
working
people,
people
with
disabilities,
people
who've
been
homeless
and
others
experiencing
severe
cost
challenges,
and
this
has
been
highly
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic.
M
Rents
in
oakland
county
have
have
continued
to
go
up.
We
see
people
on
a
very
regular
basis
who
may
have
accessed
another
housing
resource
like
a
voucher,
for
example,
which
is
kind
of
the
gold
standard
of
housing,
resources
that
we
can
make
available
to
people,
and
yet
they
can't
find
an
attainable
unit
where
they
can
rent
and
the
voucher
goes
back
to
lansing
or
to
washington.
M
M
The
other
thing
I'd
like
to
make
sure
underscore
for
you
is
this
whole
notion
of
leveraging,
because
this
is
truly
an
opportunity
to
make
a
once-in-a-lifetime
strategic
investment
in
housing
and
housing
developers
like
habitat,
like
community
housing
network
and
many
others
that
are
working
in
the
county
right
now,
to
try
and
keep
people
safely
and
affordably
and
stably
housed
need
additional
resources
that
we
can
then
leverage
to
attract
more
investment
in
our
community
just
to
use
the
number
that's
been
thrown
out
in
the
resolution.
So
far.
M
M
It
would
generate.
You
know,
activity
at
local
businesses,
restaurants,
everything.
So
this
is
not
only
an
investment,
a
social
investment,
but
it's
also
an
economic
investment
in
the
county,
and
I
guess
I've
touched
on
the
points
that
I
wanted
to
hit.
This
is
very
closely
related
to
the
work
that
we've
all
done
and
appreciated
on
the
blueprint
and
homelessness.
So,
but
it's
not
only
about
all
of
us.
It's
about
working
people
who
need
a
safe
place
to
live.
D
B
N
I
I
don't
have
anything
specific
on
on
the
affordable
housing
trust.
Would
you
like
me
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
shelter
capacity
fund?
Sure,
okay,
great
well,
thank
you
for
having
me,
I
am
with
the
alliance
for
housing,
which
is
the
continuum
of
care
for
oakland,
county
and
really
just
speaking
today
about
you
know
some
of
the
needs
that
we
have
for
shelter
and
and
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
N
I
would
say
that
the
shelter
need
is
not
new
in
in
oakland
county,
but
I
would
say
it's
definitely
been
exacerbated
by
by
covid
and
the
need
has
been
seen
more,
probably
in
the
community
than
than
it
was
before.
We've
always
needed
additional
beds
and
we
really
had
to
pivot,
because
some
of
the
ways
that
we
do
shelter
in
a
congregate
setting
really
didn't
work
during
a
pandemic.
N
So,
for
example,
we
have
about
70
to
90
additional
people
that
we
are
hoteling
in
addition
to
the
normal
sort
of
30
that
would
have
been
in
one
of
our
rotating
shelters.
So
we
are
closely
meeting
the
capacity
of
the
need
in
our
community
with
those
additional
beds
and
units
for
shelter,
and
I
think
that
you
know
new
shelter
in
the
community
really
just
gives
individuals
an
opportunity
to
connect
with
resources
be
in
a
safe
place
and
then
move
quickly
onto
affordable
housing
in
our
community.
N
So
if
there's
any
questions
or
you
know
anything
specific
you'd
like
to
ask
or
anything,
I
would
love
to
answer
for
you.
D
N
So
we
did
receive
that
from
the
state
from
mishta
and
we
pushed
that
out
on
our
list,
sir.
We
don't
always
push
some
of
those
things
out,
but
for
oakland
and
macomb
we
did.
We
don't
do
that
directly,
but
we
help
connect
to
those
resources
and
actually
community
housing
network
does
keep
the
wait
list
if
you
will
and
collect
documents
for
the
homeless
choice
voucher,
specifically
with
the
homeless
preference,
so
it
all
is
sort
of
interwoven
and
combined.
We
don't
do
it
directly,
though,
but
we
assist
and
then
once
those
polls
happen.
N
So
a
couple
different
ways:
first
of
all,
no
one
will
be
able
to
know
what
number,
if
you
will,
they
are
on
a
list.
Misha
won't
give
that
information.
Community
housing
never
doesn't
have
that,
but
we
could
see
why
they
were
potentially
deactivated.
Maybe
it
was
loss
of
contact
like
you're
saying,
and
we
could
we
could
start
you
could
start
through
me.
I
could
I
could
connect
to
mr
or
community
housing
network.
N
D
K
N
How
those
funds
would
be
utilized?
Yes,
so
I
think
at
this
point
it
would
be
a
you
know,
it
would
be
an
open
rfp.
This
is
how
I
envision
it
that
you
know
a
shelter
provider
that
already
provides
shelter,
could
expand
what
they're
doing
into
additional
parts
of
the
community
or
expand
the
facility
that
they
already
have,
but
we
do
have
other
shelter
providers
that
are
a
warming
center,
for
example,
welcome
in
that's
only
open
a
portion
of
the
year,
so
I
I'm
not
sure
who
you
know
or
what
entity
haven.
N
Domestic
violence
might
apply
for
these
dollars
and
then
there
would
be
a
match
for
these
dollars,
and
I
think
it
just
depends
if
it
would
be
a
new
build
or
an
addition,
and
we
would
be
able
to
increase
those
shelter
beds.
That
way,
I
think
it
could
be
a
multiple.
You
know
multiple
different
ways
to
to
kind
of
work
through
that
and
add
those
beds.
H
Yeah
so
once
this
passes
the,
since
this
is
arpa
funds-
and
this
is
in
response
to
the
chronic
need,
as
evidenced
by
covid,
the
idea
is
to
push
this
out
as
soon
as
possible
because
the
need
has
been
there
and
it's
only
been
exasperated
and,
to
be
honest,
another
cold
winter.
In
this
situation
for,
like
leah,
said
the
90
folks
and
mind
you.
I
talked
to
garth
from
veterans
affairs
before
this
14
of
those
are
veterans
so
again
having
people
sleeping
rough
for
another
winner.
So
I
think
that's
just
an
informal
timeline
but
asap
well.
K
C
Okay,
I
just
want
to
clarify
something
for
myself.
This
funding
as
the
attachment
in
exhibit
b
states
it's
for
the
cost
of
building
acquisition
and
acquisition
and
development
costs.
So
as
far
as
just
piggybacking
on
during
covid
and
congregate
settings
weren't
appropriate.
We
used
hotels
and
motels.
C
This
funding
could
not
go
to
those
entities
that
still
might
want
to
house
people,
because
you
know
in
the
city
of
southfield-
and
I
know
zoning
may
be
an
issue,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
underused,
smaller
hotels
or
even
larger
hotels,
where
portions
are
underused
because
of
just
business
travel
changing
and
as
we
foresee,
the
potential
of
business
travel
not
being
at
the
clip
that
it
was
prior
to
covet.
H
I
can
speak
to
that.
Okay.
C
H
That's
underutilized
great
point
which,
again,
what
mark
and
leah
have
been
talking
about,
the
attainable
trust
fund
and
the
shelter
capacity
fund
are
leveraged
funds.
So
it's
not
just
our
dollars
going
in
it
for
mark
what
he
was
saying.
It's
like
a
10x
return,
because
banks
invest
in
this
to
keep
their
community
reinvestment
act
license.
H
The
shelter
capacity
fund
would
be
a
ideally
a
one-to-one
match,
at
least
so.
This
seven
million
dollars
would
become
14
million
dollars,
at
least
that
the
organizations
would
have
to
raise
privately
and
then
the
last
thing
I'll
say
about
those
two
is
that
they're
also
in
the
homeless,
blueprint
that
we've
been
working
on
through
the
housing
department
for
the
last
year
that
this
committee
approved
back
in
november.
G
Many
of
the
clients
that
have
applied
are
seniors
on
fixed
income,
where
they've
paid
their
home
off
and
want
to
spend
their
senior
years
in
in
the
home
that
they
that
they're
accustomed
to
so
give
an
example.
We
did
receive
funding
a
couple
years
ago
from
or
a
year
ago,
from
the
cares
act.
It
was
administered
throughout
county
and
united
way.
G
It
was
a
grant
of
200
000
to
launch
the
pilot
program.
We
completed
18
projects
in
a
four-month
grant
period
over
eight
cities
and
municipalities
in
oakland
county,
so
a
very
successful
program.
As
a
result
of
that
program,
we
have
over
100
applications
sitting
in
our
office
of
people
who
have
expressed
the
need
for
critical
home
repairs.
We
focus
mainly
on
roofs
ramps
and
other
critical
repairs.
G
The
program
requires
an
assessment
of
the
house.
Someone
may
call
us
thinking
they
need
their
siding
fixed,
but
there
might
be
actually
a
more
critical
condition
that
affects
their
health,
such
as
a
furnace
that
could
be
dangerous
to
the
household
or
plumbing
or
electrical
conditions.
That
could
be
dangerous
as
well.
G
G
So
one
of
the
differences
between
this
and
the
existing
accounting
program
is,
we
actually
can
reach
a
broader
constituency
in
the
low
to
moderate
income
rate,
so
80,
ami
and
below.
We
do
require
that
the
home
be
owned,
that
there's
insurance
on
the
house
and
other
other
qualifications,
but
a
lot
of
need
right
now
in
this.
This
program
addresses
our
existing
housing
stock
and
more
broader,
look
at
neighborhoods,
and
how
do
we
not
only
create
more
units
in
the
attainable,
housing
trust
fund
and
deal
with
homelessness,
but
also?
E
H
Yeah
thanks
for
asking
so
the
housing
department,
when
we
were
talking
remember
being
part
of
the
study
group,
we
had
to
come
up
with
this
resolution
when
we
began
talking
with
the
housing
department
about
these,
which
again
they're
all
on
board,
with
all
of
these
projects
that
were
explained
in
detail.
The
fourth
thing
they
wanted
to
add
was
shane
from
the
housing
department
said
he
wants
to
the
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Is
the
higher
consultant
to
understand
the
zoning
rules
in
all
62
cvts,
because
one
strange
thing
he's
come
across
in
his
work?
H
E
H
Yeah,
how
does
home
down
how
do
home
dollars
get
administrated
better?
How
can
you
do
more
with
the
community
advisory
council
that
chair
or
that,
commissioner
powell
chairs,
when
we're
thinking
about
arpa,
I
mean
it
opens
a
whole
bunch
of
things.
I
mean
it's.
It's
data
collection
to
then
understand
what
you
can
use
your
funds
to
support
other
communities
with.
H
You
know
like
like
understand
the
problem
before
you
address
it,
but
he
doesn't
even
know
if
there's
a
problem,
so
he
wants
to
understand
what
it
is
to
look
into.
E
Okay,
give
me
an
example
that
you
would
go
to
say:
holly,
michigan,
okay,
and
I
guess
I'm
confused
on.
I
mean
people
who
want
to
do
something
in
a
community
now
go
to
the
people
that
run
that
community
and
say
I'd
like
to
build
this.
That
or
the
other
thing
I'd
re
like
to
rehab
this
I'd
like
to
use
this
property
for
this
and
they'll
tell
you
what's
allowed,
I
guess
I'm
not
seeing
spending
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
C
H
No
that's
fair.
I
mean
this
was
something
shane
wanted
and
I
believe
it's
part
of
the
homeless
blueprint.
Maybe
it's
part
of
the
housing.
H
A
Because
I
know
that's
your
arena
of
work,
what
I
would
say
is,
I
would
think
that
he's
trying
to
be
a
step
ahead
of
understanding,
zoning
rulings
and
throughout
the
communities
be
it
projects
come
before
us.
A
That's
the
only
thing
I
could
think
of
because
of
the
different
projects,
potentially
under
the
three
hubs
of
money.
That's
coming
before
I
mean
just
for
us
to
internally
know
the
rules
on
our
own
as
far
as
the
zoning
laws
and
things
of
that
nature,
because
to
end
I'm
going
to
say
this,
we
already
know
sitting
around
this
table
that
the
way
for
affordable
housing
to
be
done,
some
communities-
ain't,
even
gonna,
pick
it
up.
So,
to
be
honest,
too,
I
think
this
is
to
kind
of.
A
E
H
That's
why
just
to
correct
commissioner
paul?
I
don't
think
it's
for
any
specific
project.
It's
to
again
understand
the
scope
of
what
zoning
looks
like
throughout
the
county,
because
there
isn't
a
unified
understanding
of
that.
So
basically,
what
you're
saying
is
you
just
ask
the
holly
person
what
you
do
in
holly
this
up
to
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
to
call
all
those
people
from
my
understanding
to
then
figure
out
what
that
zoning
looks
like,
because
also
zoning
ordinances
are
very
detailed
and
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
them.
H
E
H
C
K
And
and
some
pro
might
not
be
interested
in
having
a
hor,
affordable
housing,
so
getting
that
information
he
just
cleaned
it
up
would
be
important.
H
H
It's
these
are
the
things
that
the
housing
department
would
like
to
get
done:
attainable
housing,
shelter,
capacity,
ramson
repairs,
2.0
and
zoning,
so
they're,
not
all
interconnected,
but
to
what
marsha's
or
commissioner
grisham
said
that
actually
made
me
think
when
talking
to
developers
about
the
attainable
housing
trust
fund
concept
which,
by
the
way
several
developers
in
oakland
county,
are
signed
on
as
supporters
of
this
concept,
they
also
said
there
are
interesting,
weird
zoning
things
that
only
people
like
you
would
know,
because
in
hazel
park,
for
example,
you
can't
build
a
property
with
less
than
1
250
square
feet
in
it.
H
But
what's
strange
is
I
live
in
a
house?
That's
640
square
feet
and
we
just
bought
a
house.
That's
960
square
feet,
so
my
house
shouldn't
even
exist
in
the
town
that
I
want
to
buy
in
anymore,
based
on
zoning
rules.
So
there's
all
sorts
of
nuances
to
just
again
understanding
to
what
commissioner
powell
and
commissioner
grishamson
said
is
1250
in
hazel
park,
but
it's
900
in
ferndale
they're.
Just
you
know
two
communities
that
are
squares
that
are
between
eight
and
ten
mile.
E
H
E
E
C
Oh
me,
yeah,
sorry,
I'm
sure
I
did.
If
I
spoke
out
of
tournament.
Oh,
I
thought
your
hand
was
up.
Oh,
it
was
okay,
but
I
just
think
it's
proactive
versus
reactive.
I
mean
why.
Why
wait
if
sean
or
whoever
has
the
information
ahead
of
time,
and
I
think
that's
what
is
the
intent
of
this
part
of
the
resolution
and
you
being
a
developer?
I
don't.
C
I
don't
know
exactly
your
your
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
what
you
do,
but
it
seems
like
it
would
almost
even
be
beneficial
to
you,
because
then
I'm
sure
this
information
is
going
to
be
public.
H
Yeah,
and
also
when
shane
comes
for
the
committee
meeting
about
this,
feel
free
to
ask
him.
D
B
B
I'm
just
concerned
with
taking
29
million
dollars
to
address
this
problem
when
there
are
so
many
other
problems
that
are
aren't
going
to
get
addressed
because
we
run
out
of
money.
H
Yes,
thank
you,
so
one
I'll,
let
mark
speak
to
that
again
because
he
said
it
really
well,
but
before
he
talks
standard
practice
by
naco
says
you
should
spend
a
quarter
of
your
money
on
housing
and
oakland
county
got
244
million
dollars,
so
we
should
be
spending
60
to
70
million
dollars
on
housing.
So
this
is
a
deal.
H
Second,
we
have
200
million
dollars
left
that
we
haven't
allocated
in
which
right
speaks
to
the
fact
that
this
committee
just
approved
a
million
dollars
for
mental
health,
wherein
that
means
our
tally
towards
mental
health
alone.
Using
arpa
money
is
now
close
to
30
million
dollars
so
just
to
give
comparison.
H
This
is
less
money
than
we've
spent
on
mental
health
already,
and
this
is
to
build
things
to
help
people
work
and
live
in
oakland
county
and
mind
you.
The
third
thing
I'll
say
is
the
need
that
this
meets
is
right.
We're
talking
about
120
ami,
which
in
oakland
county
means
family
of
four
making.
Ninety
six
thousand
dollars
a
year
or
less.
H
So
this
meets
a
lot
of
people's
needs
and,
as
you'll
see
in
the
resolution,
we're
talking
about
a
hundred
fifty
thousand
people
that
are
renting
in
subpar
housing.
Three
thousand
people
that
are
homeless,
the
need
for
twenty
thousand
more
housing
units
over
the
next
decade.
Even
if
population
doesn't
go
up
and
mind
you
oakland
county
is
aging
so
that
population
we're
talking
about,
isn't
just
low-income
people,
like
the
chair,
said
that
work
in
oakland
county
but
have
to
live
in
wayne
and
macomb
county
because
they
can't
afford
it
here.
H
It's
also
seniors
who
are
on
fixed
incomes,
who
are
downsizing
and
now
can't
afford
to
live
in
a
house
in
part
because
of
property
taxes,
but
also
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
the
things
we
can.
Control
is
making
an
attainable
housing
unit
for
them
to
be
able
to
live
in
oakland
county
still.
So
it's
meeting
the
needs
of
several
hundred
thousand
people
would
be
touched
by
this
over
the
next
decade
for
29
million
dollars.
H
So
I
hear
what
you're
saying-
and
I
totally
agree
and
that's
actually
part
of
why
chair
and
I
changed
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund
from
40
million
to
20
million
dollars,
because
I
hear
you
but
mark
did
you
have
anything
to
add
about
just
the
good
deal
we're
getting
on
this
in
terms
of
leveraging.
M
I
would
say
that
it's
a
10
for
one
investment
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
outside
resources,
non-government
investment
resources
that
could
be
applied
to
the
housing
challenge
that
oakland
county
is
experiencing,
and
the
challenge
is
not
new
and
oakland
county
actually
has
gotten
short-changed
in
the
past
because
of
really
not
investing
not
being
able
to
attract
investment
in
housing.
M
So
we
kind
of
are
in
the
hole
already,
and
this
is
really
a
once,
as
I
said
before,
a
once
and
I'm
not
exaggerating
whatsoever,
it's
a
once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity
to
make
this
kind
of
investment
and
that
doesn't
diminish
the
other.
The
other
needs
the
needs
for
child
care
and
literacy
and
food,
and
the
list
goes
on
and
on
what's
needed
in
this
county,
but
I
think
that
this
kind
of
investment
would
produce
long,
lasting
results.
It
wouldn't
be
money
just
spent.
M
It
would
be
money
that
would
produce
a
social
and
economic
impact
for
decades
to
come.
So
that's
why
I'm
advocating
for
strongly
funding
it
and
the
more
it's
funded.
Now,
the
more
we
can
leverage
down
the
road.
D
Thank
you.
Well,
we
can
receive
and
file
this
information
in
your
packet.
You
see
a
draft
resolution,
so
any
questions
you
think
about
later.
You
can
direct
to
chair,
so
I'm
going
to
entertain.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
support
for
this
informational
piece,
then,
is
that
a
roll
call
vote
yeah?
Oh
we're
going
to
prompt
the
vote.
D
B
H
Yeah
deconcentrating,
not
decongregating,
deconcentrating,
isn't
that.
H
So
part
of
what
we
see
in
actually
pam
spoke
to
this
about
beyond
basics.
Right,
you
see
a
concentration
of
poverty
or
lack
of
opportunity
and
that
then
feeds
into
itself
like
she
talked
about
from
a
spiritual
perspective
of
right.
Having
that
all
around
you
is
not
good
spiritually.
H
The
d
concentrating
is
the
same
sort
of
thing,
but
as
it
relates
to
housing
and
economic
opportunity.
So
if
you
concentrate
a
lack
of
opportunity
or
say,
concentrate
housing,
choice,
vouchers
like
say
in
pontiac,
where
the
residents
of
pontiac
find
themselves
outside
of
opportunity
because
they
live
in
communities
that
concentrate
poverty,
concentrate
economic
disparity.
D
K
C
I
was
gonna
leave,
but
it
was
too
exciting
not
to
stay
for
the
whole
thing
nice.
I
you
know
pam
who
spoke
earlier.
That
was
a
very
interesting
presentation.
I
had
never
heard
anything
like
that
before
and
those
numbers
were
pretty
staggering.
I
know
my
husband
had
dyslexia
growing
up
and
he
had
a
lot
of
struggles
learning
to
read.
C
C
I
know
there's
over
three
billion
dollars
being
pushed
into
the
schools
for
coveted
money.
Maybe
there's
a
way
to
make
that
part
of
this,
because
obviously
she
said
this
has
gotten
worse
since
the
pandemic.
So
you
know
just
trying
to
think
outside
the
box,
see
how
we
can
make
it
affordable
with
all
that
money
coming
in,
like
I
said
three
billion
dollars,
what
did
she
say?
C
You
know
when
she
talked
at
the
beginning
about
how
it's
so
important
that
we
reach
out
to
them
and
if
you
can
get
them
at
a
younger
age,
I
think
it
was
commissioner
hoffman
had
that
great
quote
from
frederick
douglass
too,
so
I'd
love
to
see
something
proceed
forward
without
it
being
a
financial
burden
on
our
our
county,
of
course.
So
thank
you.
D
Okay,
there
is
no
other
business
to
come
before
this
committee,
so
I
will
declare
our
committee
adjourned
at
110.
thanks
everybody.
