WE CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER AT 4:17 PM AND INVITE OUR INTERPRETER TO START.
[00:00:35]
HEY, THANK YOU.NOW WE'LL CALL ROLL HERE, WILSON HERE.
COMMISSIONER ABRAHAM, COMMISSIONER ALMEZ HERE.
COMMISSIONER HERE, COMMISSIONER DAVILA, COMMISSIONER, COLLEAGUES HERE.
COMMISSIONER SANCHEZ, COMMISSIONER.
WE HAD A SUBMITTED E-MAIL COMMENT, BUT JEN MORRIS IS HERE TODAY IN PERSON.
MY NAME IS JEN LAWRENCE PRESIDENT I JUST REVIVED AND I'VE SEEN TODAY ON PERSONAL ESSAY AND MY COMMENTS DO NOT REPLY TO THE ACE LINE THERE AND I'VE SEEN THE WORK ON THE NEWS AND I DO SHOW CONCERN THAT THE PROJECTION IS THE HARDWARE YOU'RE GOING TO BE YOU'RE SEEING AND NO GROUNDS.
EVERYTHING HAS DISABILITY AND SUDDENLY BECAME THE FIRST HOMEOWNER IN MY FAMILY.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT WOULD NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CITY'S HOME BUYER ASSISTING PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF THAT ISSUE AND AFTER THAT SONG WE'D BE CONTINUING TO INVESTIGATE THAT WAS TOO SILLY.
AS A RESIDENT OF DISTRICT 5, I ALSO SEE THE CO HOUSING IN ACTION ASSUMING WE OPEN MORE APARTMENTS RIGHT IN THE SERVICE AND ALREADY ESTABLISHED SOME SINGLE SENIOR HOUSING.
THESE ARE NOT JUST THE BUILDINGS, THEY ARE PART OF THE BASE OF THE OFFICE WORKING.
THEY HAVE FAMILIES WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE, SCHOOLS, PARTS OF HUMAN SPACES MANDATORY AND THIS IS FOR THE SAFER MORE CONNECTION ALL THE COMMUNITY WITH ALL KINDS OF SUPPORT FROM SANTA AND HOUSING MAKING BOARD.
WITH MY EXPERIENCE HAVING A SENIOR HOUSE NEARBY, THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST COMMUNITY TO WATCH SUCH SLASH SECURITY SYSTEMS WHICH IS NEARBY.
I HAD PLENTY OF STORIES OF HOW THEY WERE SO READY TO USE THEIR WALKERS TO COME OVER TO OUR HOUSE AND LET US GO TO MESS WITH MYSELF IN THE SOUTHERN AMERICA OR OUT OF TOWN.
I ENCOURAGE THE CITY AND THE COMMISSION TO MOVE QUICKLY ON STRATEGIES AGAINST CHOICE.
WITH THE RECENT AGENCY USE OF BASE UNITS.
AROUND 50% OF THE ASSISTING DEPARTMENT COMPASSES SILVER AUCTION DEGREE VIEWS ON INVESTOR WHILE HERE AND POSSIBLE WITH SUPPORT SERVICES.
PEOPLE WORKING ON THE APPS AND FANS WILL TAKE LONGER, BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS WE CAN WORK WITH TODAY THROUGH A SERIOUS SERVICE.
YOU SEE, YOU NEED TO BE WE NEED TO MOVE THESE OTHER STORES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE DURING THE TIME IN WHICH CASE WHERE IN THE CITIES WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THAT POSSIBLE.
DONALD'S NOT ANY BETTER CONSERVE SKATE PROCESS.
LET'S SAY LET ME BE OUT OF THE LENS OF THESE SCHOOLS THAT ARE CLOSING IN 100% TO 1000 SERVICES.
BUT LOOK AT CPS ENERGY MATCHED ON YOU WITH ANYTHING THAT COMPANIES AND DATA CENTERS TO EXPAND PROGRAMS. SOLAR HOST ESSAY SO WE CAN GO MORE SOLAR ANIMALS IN THOUSAND.
THERE'S A LOT MORE WE CAN DO WITH THE QUALITY SOLAR OPTIONS.
WE'RE ANXIOUS AND WE INVEST THEIR DECISION WITH A SWING HAVE BEEN COST FROM THE AVERAGE OF $10, 000 FROM SOMEONE WHO DOWNLOADED A COUPLE $100 TO THE SET OF WINDOWS PATIOS.
SO THIS IS INTERNALLY AS WELL AS OPTIONS OF BEING HEALTH SUPPORT CBS STOCK PRODUCTS AND ALL THE EQUIPMENT FOR RECIPE SPEND WITH MORE INSURANCE AND WE RESTRAIN THE BOTTOM OF IN THE CITY.
WE CAN ALSO LEARN FROM OUR MAINTENANCE OF AUSTIN HOUSTON BY DEFINITELY WAS ALREADY WORKING WITHIN THE GLOBAL GOVERNMENT EFFORTS TO MAKE THE CENTRAL TEXAS SYSTEM CONNECTIVE, MORE RESPONSIVE AND MORE SIGNIFICANT.
HELPING PEOPLE STAY HOUSING AND HEALTHY HOUSING IS HEALTHY.
WE'RE ALL OBSERVED HAPPY AND STAY HEALTHY AND THERE'S ALL OUR SENSE.
SO THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU ALL DO AND FOR THIS TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT YOU SUPPORT THE SERVICE.
[00:05:04]
SO WE HAVE ITEM ONE, APPROVAL OF MINUTES, ITEM 2, THE SHIP REFRESH, ITEM 3, SA THE DC TRIP, ITEM 4, SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS, ITEM 5, DIRECTOR'S REPORT, ITEM 4, SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS, ITEM 5, DIRECTORY REPORT AND ITEM 6, COMMISSIONERS COMMUNITY UPDATES.SO FIRST, WE'LL START WITH ITEM ONE, APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES FROM THE HOUSING COMMISSION MEETING ON MARCH 17TH.
ANY DISCUSSION, MOTION TO APPROVE IS WRITTEN.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, PLEASE SAY AYE, AYE.
ANY OPPOSED, MAYBE WE APPROVE THE MINUTES.
NEXT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO ITEM 2A, BRIEFING AND DISCUSSION REGARDING THE SHIP REFRESH.
SO IF WE UPDATE TODAY, WE'LL HAVE MONTHLY UPDATES ON SHIP REFRESH AND CONSOLIDATED PLAN UPDATE UNTIL AUGUST WHEN WE ARE PLANNING TO TAKE ALL OF THE UPDATED PLANS TO COUNSEL.
FOR FOLKS IN THE ROOM WHO MIGHT NOT BE FAMILIAR.
I MEAN ONE OF THE DIOCESE, THE STRATEGIC HOUSING CO ENGAGEMENT PLAN WORSHIP IS THE CITY AND OUR PARTNERS 10 YEAR VISUAL HOUSING AFFORDABILITY.
THE PARTNERS ARE OPPORTUNITY HOME, THE HOUSING ACROSS TO REPRESENT YOUR OWN HOUSING COMMISSION AND US AND THE COUNTY.
SO FOR THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS, WE'LL BE WORKING REALLY CLOSELY ON UPDATING OUR GOALS.
AND SINCE A 10 YEAR PLAN, WE ARE IN HERE FINE.
WE WANTED TO CHECK IN ON CENSUS DATA, COMMUNITY DATA, AND ALSO FOR THE RESOURCES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE STILL RELEVANT IN ALIGNMENT AND STILL AMBITIOUS IN OUR GOAL TO BE AS IMPORTABLE HERE.
THIS FINE LINE LIES WELL FOR US BECAUSE EVERY FIVE YEARS THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT HAD REQUIRES ASSISTANCE TO BE A PLAN ON HOW WE WILL SPEND OUR INCREDIBLE DEVELOPERS.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE YEARS.
SO WE GET TO BE LOOKING AT THOSE PROCESSES TOGETHER AND WE WILL HAVE COUNSELORS IN AUGUST.
WANTED TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE UPDATE.
WE'VE GOT THE LATEST PRODUCTION AND PRESERVATION NUMBERS.
THESE ARE CONTRIBUTED TO BY NOT JUST THE CITY, BUT ALSO OPPORTUNITY HOMES, THE HOUSING ADDRESS AND THE COUNTY.
SO YOU CAN BE PROUD OF THESE NUMBERS ARE COMMUNITY WIDE AND NOT JUST A SINGLE ORGANIZATION.
THE TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS ARE IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM BAR, OUR TOTAL GOAL, WE'RE AT ABOUT 3% OF THE WAY.
EVEN AT GOAL, WE'VE JUST OVER 11 CONSTANT COMPLETE OR ON THE WAY AND WE'RE DOING GREAT ON OUR RENTAL PRODUCTION GOAL WITH 49% OF THE GOAL.
AND RIGHT NOW HOMEOWNERSHIP IS STARTING TO PICK UP GATES A LITTLE BIT.
BUT IF YOU TAKE AWAY ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE SLIDE, WHAT I'D LOVE FOR YOU TO WALK AWAY WITH IS THAT JUST IN THE 1ST 4 1/2 YEARS OF SHED, THE CITY AND THE PARTNERS HAVE 8300 UNITS ALREADY COMPLETE.
SO THOSE ARE ONES THAT DIDN'T EXIST THAT NOW TODAY HAVE PEOPLE LIVING IN THEM, WHICH IS SUPER.
THERE IS A 31170 UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND ABOUT 2500 IN THE RIGHT LINE WOULD BE LIKE HAVE FUN PEOPLE SUPPORTING SOME WAY THAT HAVEN'T STARTED CONSTRUCTION YET.
AND I'LL SAY THAT THAT'S NOT INCLUDING THE WORKS THAT WERE MADE AT TODAY'S POSSIBLE.
SO THAT'S EVEN MORE EXCITING, WHICH WOULD HOLD TOO.
SO SOME EXCITING UPDATES SINCE THE LAST LAST MONTH WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.
FIRST OF ALL, I HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE CITY ADDED A NEW COLOR TO OUR BRAND NEW COMMENT AND THIS IS OFFICIAL DEBUT BEAR VARIED.
I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE SYSTEM, BUT FIRSTLY I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU ALL IN PARTICULAR FOR ALL OF THE SPORT AND THE HARD WORK ON THIS LINE.
WE KNOW THAT WAS REALLY HUGE LIFT, NOT JUST FOR YOU ALL AROUND THE TABLE, BUT FOR A LOT OF THE FOLKS SEATED IN THE AUDIENCE.
BRON COMPETE, MARK MERCEDES, SO MUCH PCVC GOT EVERYTHING ON THIS JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO.
IT REALLY HAD NOTHING BUT WONDERFUL THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU AND WHAT THEY DID.
SO I'LL JUST TO SHARE MY VIEWS.
I'LL JUST SHARE THAT THE REPORT FULL REPORT IS ONLINE.
YOU'RE WORKING ON GETTING SOME PRINTED SUMMARIES AND HOBBIES.
MAYOR'S OFFICE DIDN'T LAUNCH A SURVEY AS WELL.
[00:10:02]
SO THERE'S A LINK HERE AT THE BOTTOM.I'M TAKING ALWAYS IN JUST MY OWN ORDER.
SO FOLKS NOT GOING TO BE BACK TO ABLE TO DO THAT THROUGH MAY 1ST AND THEN OUT OF THAT ROOM STILL GOING OF COURSE.
SO SPECIAL HOUSING SUPPLY FOLDS WILL BE INCORPORATED.
THIS WILL BE A REMINDING REVIEW THROUGH THE SHIP REEF AND NEXT WEEK IS EVERY WEEK FOR US BECAUSE OUR CONSULTANT DAVID SCHWARTZ WHO IS ONLINE TODAY IS GOING TO BE HERE WITH US IN PERSON.
TOLD HIM YOU COULD NOT MISS FIESTA YOU SAID.
SO WE'LL BE MEETING WITH SEVERAL FOLKS IN THIS ROOM TO TALK ABOUT YOUR GOALS.
AND FOR FOLKS WHO HAVE QUESTIONS OR WOULD WE LIKE TO TO TALK TO HIM JUST LET ME KNOW.
ALSO WANTED TO LET YOU ALL KNOW EXCITING NEWS THAT THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN SURVEY THAT'S AGAIN THE DOCUMENT THE GUYS FOR FEDERAL FUNDING LAUNCHED TODAY OFFICIALLY.
THANK YOU, SAM AND WE'RE TEAM AND THAT IS THE QR CODE AT THE TOP AND AS WELL ON THE NEXT SLIDE SURVEY IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO ENGAGE WITH OUR WORK HERE AND SEE MY SOME WORKING IN PARTICULAR REALLY HARD AND GABRIELLE ON CURATING SOME CITYWIDE CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE COMING UP STARTING MAY 18TH.
SO AT LEAST CONVERSATIONS WILL BE ENGAGING WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS ON THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOND IN PARTICULAR.
BUT WE KNOW WHEN WE LOOK UP TO THOSE SPACES, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW THAT THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT BOND FUNDING, FEDERAL FUNDING OR GENERAL FUND.
THEY JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW THINGS CAN HOLD FOR EVERYTHING.
SO WE'LL ALL BE THERE FOR THAT AND WE'LL PROVIDE YOU WITH A FULLER SCHEDULE OF THAT BECAUSE IT DOES LATER ON IN THE PRESENTATION.
SO THOSE ARE OUR UPDATES FOR NOW.
I DID WANT TO WE GO A LITTLE SPACE TODAY IF YOU'RE NOT ALREADY TIRED FROM VISTA EVENTS THAT HAVE STARTED NOW TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT A SUCCESSFUL RUN PLAN AND SHOULD MIGHT LOOK LIKE FOR YOU AS AN ADVICE EVERYBODY TO US AND TO BE FAIR SEEMS THAT ARE GOING ON IN YOUR COMMUNITY THAT WE NEED TO BE PLUGGED INTO THIS.
WE GET STARTED ON THIS PROCESS.
NOW IS THE KEY TIME WE'RE BEGINNING TO GRAB.
WE'D LOVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE GONNA BE NEEDED INTO ALL THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING.
ANY QUESTIONS? I THINK MY ONLY QUESTION IS AS Y'ALL ARE LOOKING AT A SHIFT REFRESH, ARE YOU THINKING, ARE YOU THINKING THAT YOU'LL HAVE REVISE SOME OF THE STRATEGIES OR UPDATE THE GOALS OR MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH FRICTION.
SO WE ARE ANTICIPATING OUR OUR BOTH SWEET SUPERIOR PROCESSES WILL BE AT THE GOALS.
ARE THEY STILL RESPONSIVE TO COMMUNITY AS IT IS DIFFERENT THAN WESTERN 2019? ARE THEY STILL IN LINE WITH THE RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE? AND SO I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE THE FOCUS OF THE DISCUSSION MORE SO THE STRATEGIES.
HOWEVER, THROUGH SPECIAL HOUSING SUPPLY AND THROUGH OTHER POLICY INTERESTS.
I KNOW EVEN TOGETHER WITH THE PLAN WITH THE TRANSPORTATION POLICY FRAMEWORK THAT WENT THROUGH MANY BARRIERS IN THE COMMISSION LAST YEAR.
WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF MORE NEW MONTHS POLICY DISCUSSION THAT WE CAN USE AS AN OPPORTUNITY A LITTLE BIT.
AND WILL IT INCLUDE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE 2027 BOND OR WILL THAT BE KIND OF A SEPARATE PROCESS, LIKELY A SEPARATE CONVERSATION? WE, WE WENT THROUGH THIS A LITTLE BIT WHEN WE DID THE SHIP 1. 0 I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT, WHERE WE MADE SOME ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE DEFINING LEVELS AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE IN THE DOCUMENT, BUT WE DID NOT MAKE SPECIFIC PREDICTIONS FOR ANY PARTICULAR RUNNING SOURCE.
AND THEN I KNOW WE'RE COORDINATING ON OUR TWO DIFFERENT PLANS, BUT WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING GOALS ARE CONNECTED.
SO WE'LL WORK THROUGH THAT WITH OUR **** STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS.
THANK YOU, SARAH, FOR THE PRESENTATION.
ONE IS I WANT TO SEE MY FOLLOW UP.
I KNOW THE CONSOLIDATION PLAN REQUIRES PHA ENDPOINT.
IT'S A, IT'S A HARD REQUIREMENT THAT THERE'S CONSULTATION.
SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS RESIDENT BASE HAD THE VOICES IN THE TABLE.
AND THE SECOND PART OF THIS IS THAT YOU ASK WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR COMMUNITY.
I THINK THERE'S A ROLE TO PLAY FOR OPPORTUNITY AT HOME IN TERMS OF THE 85, 000 RESIDENTS WE SERVE AND IN TERMS OF THE DIVERSITY OF VOICES FROM NOT ONLY THE
[00:15:06]
DIFFERENT QUADRANTS TO THE CITY, BUT DIFFERENT AMI LEVELS AND IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS FROM OLDER ADULTS AND TO FAMILIES.SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE VOICES ARE REFLECTED IN THE FAMILY BOARD, THE CONSOLIDATION PLAN AND THE SHIP REFRESH.
SO WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU.
THERE'S A LOT OF WORK AHEAD, BUT WE'RE EXCITED FOR IT.
ANY QUESTION ON THE WE'RE ABOUT HOUSING BOND MEETINGS IN THAT HAVE THE DATES BEEN SET FOR LOCATIONS? SO ANYTHING ON THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT EARLY SOME DATES.
WE'LL HAVE THEM IN ALL 10 COUNCIL DISTRICTS AND OLIVE RIDES FOR THE OK THANK YOU SO MUCH, IT'S EXCITING.
NEXT WE HAVE ITEM THREE, OUR BRIEFING AND DISCUSSION ON THE 2020 SIXTH SATC TRIP WITH MARK POMONA.
I'LL BE FOLLOWING SEVERAL OPTIONS.
I'VE GOT ONE OF THOSE STORIES I HAD MARK, I'VE MENTIONED OFFICER BACK IN HERE TODAY TO TALK ABOUT OUR SNBC TRIP THAT WE'VE HAD.
WANT TO START OFF BY JUST ACKNOWLEDGING THE TEAM THAT WE KNOW THE 5TH.
WE WERE ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN THE UNIVERSITY COUNCIL DURING THE TRIP.
COUNCILWOMAN, POOR COUNCILLOR AND COUNCILLOR WHICH WERE WITH US AND ENGAGED IN MEETINGS AND ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS.
ONE HIGHLIGHT COMMISSIONER LISE, COMMISSIONER REYES AND CHAIR WILSON WHO WERE ON THE TEAM AND ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS AS WELL.
WE PARTICIPATED IN 17 MEETINGS.
THE MEETINGS FOCUSED ON THE MAJOR HOUSING BILL KNOWN AS 21ST CENTURY RD., THE 252025 PARENTS ACTIVE BILL HOUSE ACT.
WE DISCUSSED ON OPPORTUNITY ZONES, LITEC, TRANS ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AND HOME AND CDBG FUNDING.
AND ALTHOUGH HOMELESSNESS HAD ITS OWN ISSUE TEAM, THE HOUSING TEAM DID PARTICIPATE IN MEETINGS WITH VARIOUS OFFICES REGARDING CONTINUUM OF CARE PROGRAM FUNDING.
AND THEN TRYING TO GET A SENSE OF, I MEAN, A WHITE HOUSE AND A PROPERTY FOR HOMELESSNESS JUST BECAUSE IT TIES INTO OUR SHIPMENT SO WELL, DID IT? IT JUST MADE SENSE FOR US.
SO ON THE AGENDA ITSELF ON 21ST CENTURY ROAD TO HOUSING ACT, THE CURRENT STANCE RIGHT NOW IS TO PASS THE SENATE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY IN THE HOUSE.
THE REALLY THE ISSUE THAT WE PICKED UP ON WAS THAT FOR THE, FOR THE LONG SIGN, IT'S KIND OF BEEN REPUBLICANS VERSUS DEMOCRATS.
IN THIS PARTICULAR INSTANCE, IT'S SENATE VERSUS HOUSE.
SO THE SENATE PASSED THE BILL, WENT TO THE HOUSE, THE HOUSE HAD ITS OWN VERSION.
THEY'RE IN CONFERENCE RIGHT NOW.
IT'S GOING TO BE PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE IT CAN SEND A SEND.
BUT I THINK THE CLEAR MESSAGE AND ALCOHOL HAS TO THE COMMISSIONERS THAT WERE PRESENT WAS JUST PASSED THE BILL.
YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT MAYBE TALK TO THE SENATE AND THEY FEEL LIKE THE HOUSE HAS GOT 90% OF WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO.
YOU TALK TO THE HOUSE AND IT SAID IT'S STRIPPED OUT REGULATORY REFORM.
SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHO YOU TALK TO, BUT I THINK THE ELEMENTS WE HAVEN'T HAD SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF 1000 LEGISLATION PASSED SINCE THE 90S.
AND SO THIS IS A WINDOW THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IN THE BILL PASS.
THE OTHER THING I THINK THAT WE LEARNED THAT'S SIGNIFICANT IS THAT THERE'S NO APPROPRIATION SCIENCE AND STILL SO THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE MONEY NECESSARY THAT SACK UP TO IT'S MORE OF A REGULATORY REFORM BILL, WHICH MEANS THAT WHATEVER COWARD IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET SAVES FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
WE WOULD NEED TO COME BACK ONCE PASSED THE ABILITY TO DO AN ANALYSIS ON WHAT THAT MEANS FOR US.
AND SO I THINK THAT'S SOME OF THE OTHER PIECES THAT WE PICKED UP.
WE LEARNED FROM THE SENATE OFFICES, THE PRESIDENT FOR EACH SON BILL.
SO SO IT'S NOW JUST A QUESTION OF OF WHERE A REAL SAFE THING TO DO WHAT HAPPENED.
THERE WAS CONSENSUS ACROSS VERY VERY SCENES THAT TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT POLICY IS NOT CLEARLY DEFINED.
THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S ROLE IN HOUSING AND HOW THEY CAN ALLOCATE FUNDING TOWARDS HOUSING RELATED COSTS.
MANY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL ARE AWARE OF CHALLENGES OF THE TIBIA.
YOU KNOW, BLANK IN WHAT TIBI'S TECHNICAL P
[00:20:01]
SOMETHING WITH TRANSPORTATION, YES, AND ACTS AT THE END TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE.SOME FUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE ACTS, IT'S SOME MONEY AND IT'S THE, THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN UNLOCKING THE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO HAVE FUNDS.
AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A LOT OF MONEY, BILLIONS, BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT CAN BE ABLE GAME CHANGING FOR US IN TERMS OF HOUSING.
SO WE, WE, WE WANTED TO HAVE THE MEETINGS WITH SPECIFIC FOLKS WHILE WE WERE THERE.
WE WERE NOT ABLE TO DO IT, BUT PETE AND EMILY MARCOTTE FROM OUR TEAM AT ARCHER, WE'RE ABLE TO SET UP A COUPLE OF MEETINGS AFTERWARDS.
I THINK WE'RE LEANING TOWARDS AN ON SITE WORKSHOP, IF I'M REMEMBERING THAT CORRECTLY, WHERE THEY'LL COME IN SAN ANTONIO AND BOTH AND PEOPLE AND WE'LL WORK WITH THE HOUSING HOSTS TO HAVE HOSTS.
THIS WAS COMMITTED BECAUSE WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO UNLOCK THAT.
WE'VE GOT A STORY TO TELL IN SAN ANTONIO SPECIFICALLY AS IT RELATES TO THE GREEN LINE OF THE SILK LINE.
SO THESE THINGS ARE LINING UP VERSUS THESE WERE JUST GOING TO WORK MEETINGS.
THE LAST PIECE OF LEGISLATION WAS THE ERIC ACT OF 2025.
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION WAS DESCRIBED BY SOME OF THE AUTHORS AS AMBIGUOUS AND LACKING THE CLEAR POWER MOVING FORWARD.
WE FEEL LIKE LOCALLY WE WE HAVE ENOUGH EXPERIENCE WITH ERRORS PROPERTY ISSUES AND THE WORK THAT THAT PRACTITIONERS ARE DOING ONLY THAT WE CAN DRIVE A LOT OF CREDIBLE IMPLEMENTATION.
ERRORS PROPERTY WAS GOING TO BE SOURCES AT THE AUGUST HOUSING LEGISLATIVE WORKSHOP.
IT'S AUGUST 14TH THE DATES THAT SAID, AND WE'RE TRYING TO SEE WHAT WE CAN YOU KNOW CONTINUE TO HAVE OUR SYSTEM INSTALLER AND HEALTH AND LEARNING SERVICES.
WE HAD TWO SEPARATE MEETINGS WITH HUB.
WE MET AT THIS TOP THURMAN HE'S DEPUTY STAFF SECRETARY TURNER COMMISSIONER RACE TO MAKE SURE ALL MEETS MYSELF.
I CAN'T SAY THAT WE'RE LEARNING FROM MINUTES SOMEHOW I THINK OPPORTUNITY ZONED SECOND HUD.
IT'S REALLY GOOD WITH MY TREASURY.
I THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT WHERE THE GOVERNOR OF THE CITY, TEXAS GOVERNOR HAD TO SORT OF ROLL IT OUT IN TERMS OF PROBABLY GOING TO DESIGNATE ZONE AREAS.
SO I THINK WE'RE VERY STAYING CLOSE TO THAT.
AND WE HAD I THINK IN A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING WITH KATE MCKINNEY, DEPUTY SECRETARY, WHO RELATES OVER THE SERIOUSLY PROGRAM AND HOMELESSNESS RESPONSE.
AND I THINK JUST BEING ABLE TO SHOW HER HOW WELL POSITIONED SAN ANTONIO IS.
WE'RE TRYING TO CONTINUE TO POSITION US AS READY APPLICANTS AND READY RECIPIENTS OF ANY KIND OF DEMONSTRATION OF YOUR MONEY.
WHERE WE'RE IN, WE'VE GOT THE INFRASTRUCTURE, WE'VE GOT THE PARTNERSHIPS TO STOP THE MONEY IN AND WE'LL GET TO WORK.
SO THAT'S KIND OF THE MESSAGE THAT WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE.
WE ALSO MET WITH JIHAD, WHICH IS THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS REMOTE WITH BOTH SENATE AND HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS FOLKS DURING THE TRIP.
REMEMBER DAVID PEARSON, THE PRESIDENT'S SKATING BUDGET PROPOSAL CAME OUT AND OF COURSE, SINCERELY, EVERYTHING OUT WITH THE CLEAR MESSAGE WE GOT WHILE WE WERE THERE.
WE'RE PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE WAS THERE.
CONGRESS IS NOT GOING TO ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN.
I WAS IN A CONVERSATION COMMISSIONER EXCELLENCE, THE MESSAGE HE WAS RECEIVING AS WELL.
WE'RE STILL GOING TO AGGREGATE, WE'RE STILL GOING TO PUSH STORIES.
WE'RE STILL GOING TO PUSH OUTCOMES, WHICH EVERYBODY'S DOING.
BUT THAT WAS THE OVERALL RESPONSE THAT WE RECEIVED.
SO NEXT STEPS, THE CHIEF HOUSING OFFICER, THE DIRECTOR OF HOME SOURCE STRATEGY DEPENDS ON YOU TALKING TO THAT AGE.
WE'RE SETTING QUARTERLY COORDINATION MEETINGS FOR THE STATE OWNERS OVER THE SA DC.
THIS IS GOING TO ROLL INTO THE HOUSING LISTS AND POLLUTION AND WE HAVE OUR WORKSHOP SCHEDULED DELEGATION TO BE LISTED WORKSHOP STANDARD FOR AUGUST 14.
WE ARE ALREADY TALKING TO BOTH SIDES OF DALLAS THAT ARE LOCATED IN HERE'S PROPERTY.
WE'RE TRYING TO SEE IF SENATOR ROYCE W WHO SPONSORED SOME OF THE LEGISLATION PASSED WE'LL CONGRESS WITH STAFF IN FRONT OF PEOPLE WITH STATEWIDE AT PRESENCE AT THAT WORKSHOP.
SO WE'RE GOING TO COME UP ON THAT AND THE POSITIONING OUR DELEGATION IN 27TH, WHERE IS IT TO BE SEEN? I'D LOVE TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO SABC NEXT YEAR AND HAVE FOLKS LIKE THE HOUSING TRUST AN OPPORTUNITY ALL MASSES IT ASKS THAT WE HAVE THE MEETINGS THAT'S I FEEL LIKE EACH YEAR WE'RE GETTING BETTER.
WE WERE MEETING WITH AND IT'S THE MEET FOLKS OUTSIDE OF OUR DELEGATION.
WE'RE GETTING ACCESS TO MORE PEOPLE, GETTING BETTER POSITIONS.
SO EACH YEAR WE'RE GROWING AND IMPROVING AND I THINK WE CAN BUILD ON THAT.
THAT WANTS TO BUILD TOWARDS TASKS WHICH WE'VE SEEN OTHER ISSUES.
[00:25:02]
ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.I THINK IT WAS ALSO HELPFUL THAT WE MET WITH CONGRESSMAN WHO WHO WAS REDISTRICTING IS NOW GOING TO BE REDISTRICTING TO SAN ANTONIO, BUT PRIMARILY AND SO CONGRESSMAN TSAR OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT GOING TO BE WITHIN THIS AREA.
AND SO IT'S STILL VERY GOOD TO TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS AND AND AND EVEN GOING TO BE CONTINUING TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP AND UNDERSTAND, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT ARE GOING ON IN AREAS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN SPECIFICALLY OVERSEEN AS FAR AS THIS.
SO I THINK THAT WAS ALSO VERY POSITIVE IN TERMS OF THE BUILDING HELPS ACT, THERE ARE ELEMENTS OF THE BUILD SUB ACT.
IT'S NOT VERY LIKELY THAT THE ACT ITSELF WILL GO THROUGH AND AND PASS.
HOWEVER, ELEMENTS OF THAT BILL CAN BE PULLED INTO WHAT'S CALLED A SERVICE STRENGTH QUOTATION AUTHORIZATION THAT MUST GO THROUGH CONGRESS BY SEPTEMBER.
AND THAT'S KIND OF THE GOAL IS IF THERE'S ELEMENTS THAT FIX THE PROGRAM AND KEEP IN MIND THAT PROGRAM IS NOT LIKE GAP FUNDING DOLLARS.
WHAT IT IS, IS IT'S BASICALLY A FORM OF VERY COST DEBT THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THAT WOULD IF, IF BUILD UP TAX ELEMENTS WERE TO BE INCORPORATED WITH PAPER ESSENTIALLY 75% OF YOUR PROJECT AND FORM DEBT AT HALF OF THE SPREADSHEET RATES AT THAT TIME.
SO VERY, VERY MUCH IMPORTANT AS FAR AS REDUCING GAPS BECAUSE WE HAVE CHEAPER DEBT THAT CAN HELP SHOOT GREATER.
THANK YOU, MARK FOR THE PRESENTATION.
I, I THINK JUST KIND OF BIG PICTURE PERSPECTIVE AS WE'VE BEEN CONSIDERING THE WHITE HOUSE BUDGET, WE KNOW THEY'VE ZEROED OUT A LOT OF MAIN PROGRAMS THAT WE RELY ON.
WE KNOW THAT CONGRESS TYPICALLY ACCEPTS THAT BUDGET, MAKES NECESSARY TWEAKS, ENSURE THAT THERE'S FUNDING GOING FORWARD.
BUT I GUESS THE ONLY CONCERN IS LAST YEAR WE HEARD FROM HOUSE CORPORATION STAFF NUMEROUS SIGNS.
THEY TOLD US THAT LAST YEAR WAS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT.
THEY WERE LOOKING UNDER COUCHES FOR COINS AND UNDER MATTRESSES FOR DOLLARS.
THIS YEAR WAS REALLY EVEN HARDER.
AND SO IN A BILL, IT HAS FULL TRANSPORTATION AND HOUSING.
AND TRANSPORTATION ENDED UP GETTING THE $3 BILLION CUT.
NEXT YEAR, IT MAY BE A DIFFERENT STORY.
IT MAY BE HOUSING THAT GETS THAT THREE TO $5 BILLION CUT FASTING STARTING FOR OUR COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF WHAT WE NEED TO PLAN FOR.
AND SO I THINK WE JUST NEED TO KEEP OUR GUARD UP AND BE PROACTIVE IN TERMS OF IN THAT SCENARIO IN FY20 8.
ARE WE READY AS A COMMUNITY TO RESPOND BASIL STATS TO BECOME BLUE.
SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE WE'RE FULLY ALERT AND READY WITH A PLAN OF ACTION IN CASE THAT HAPPENS AND TO A FIRM COMMISSION RACE I THINK CLEARLY WILL BE HEARD FROM A TEAM IN PARTICULAR WAS WE THINK WHEN YOU'RE JUST GETTING LOW CUT FUNDING AND YOU DIDN'T GET A $3 BILLION CUT WITH SO TRANSFORMATION.
SO TO THIS POINT THAT'S SOMETHING HAPPENED TO US.
SO OUR MAIN TO ADVOCATE PUSH RESULTS, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE ESSENTIAL AND IT'S YOU KNOW, WHATEVER WE'RE DOING HERE, PEOPLE NOW FULLY UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A SHIP, WE'RE OPERATING WITHIN THOSE GUIDELINES.
IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO THOSE OFFICES, TALK ABOUT THIS AND REFRESH, TALK ABOUT WHAT WE REALLY PUT IN PLACE BECAUSE THESE PROGRAMS COULD OVERNIGHT THESE EXCHANGE.
SO THAT'S FOR THE CONDITIONER CHAIR.
I WAS JUST GONNA ADD THAT A TIMELINE FOR ALL OF US TO KEEP IN MIND TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS SPECIFICALLY WITH HOMELESS ASSISTANCE GRANTS UNDER HUD AND THE CONTINUUM OF CARE PROGRAM IS THAT T HUD GAVE HUD A DEADLINE OF ISSUING THEIR NEXT NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY JUNE 1ST.
SO WE SHOULD KNOW BY JUNE WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE GOING TO IMPLEMENT A CAP ON HOW MANY PROGRAMS CAN BE PERMANENT HOUSING PROGRAMS. SO WE SHOULD KNOW HOW TO PLAN.
AND THOSE WILL START TO TAKE EFFECT IN THE MIDDLE OF 2027.
SO JUST FOR AWARENESS FOR OUR PLANNING PURPOSES, WE SHOULD KNOW BY JUNE WHAT TO ANTICIPATE IN 2027.
AND WE'RE HOPING FOR THE BEST, BUT PLANNING FOR THE WORST SO THAT WE'RE PREPARED.
NEXT WE HAVE ITEM 4, BRIEFING AND DISCUSSION ON OUR SUBCOMMITTEE'S WORK.
I'LL GIVE YOU A QUICK ONE ON THE NEW BARRIERS.
[00:30:01]
SO.OH, WE GET TO THE ALL RIGHT, THAT WORKS.
NICE TO HAVE PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, I WAS DEFENDING THE THE QUESTION ON THE NEXT DOOR AND AS YOU MADE THE CASE WITH THE DEPRESSION TO PUT THAT ON THERE, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO AND AND ALL THE WONDERFUL THING THAT YOU WILL SEE.
ANYWAYS, WE WERE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT OUR LAST PEO MEETING.
IT WAS, IF NOT THE BEST INTENDED, ONE OF THE BEST INTENDED.
PERHAPS IT WAS A RECORD OF 37 ATTENDEES, WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
WHEN I SUMMARIZED THE MEETING, I USED THE WORD EXCITED 357.
EVEN CHAD CITED MYSELF FOR DOING BECAUSE I WASN'T EXCITED AND I STILL AM.
BUT NOT ONLY WERE THERE 37 AND 10 ATTENDEES THERE, BUT THEY GOT INVOLVED.
OTHER THAN, YOU KNOW, DIFFERENT FROM THE HOUSING COMMISSION MEETING WHERE WE CAN'T TALK BACK AND FORTH IN THAT MEETING, WE CAN AND WE GET A LOT OF THINGS DONE.
A LOT OF THESE FOLKS WERE FROM SOME ORGANIZATIONS, NONPROFITS THAT I HAD NOT HEARD OF.
AND PERHAPS SOME OTHER PEOPLE DID.
BUT NOT ONLY WERE YOU THERE, BUT THEY VOLUNTEERED YOUR TIME TO TRY TO GET PEOPLE TO, YOU KNOW, SIGN UP FOR, FOR PROPERTY TAX SEMINARS AND REHAB PROGRAMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO HELP THEM GET, GET THROUGH HOW TO SIGN UP FOR, FOR THOSE THINGS.
WE, WE TALKED ABOUT THE AFFORDABLE, AFFORDABLE PLAN PROGRAM, OF COURSE, AND, AND PROPERTY TAXES AND ENCOURAGING ALL OF OUR PEO MEMBERS TO HELP OUT AT AT THOSE EVENTS BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE COME TO THOSE AND IT'S, THEY'RE VERY WELL ORGANIZED, BUT THEY CAN ONLY USE A A LITTLE EXTRA PROBLEM.
I MYSELF ATTENDED A COUPLE OF OF FUN EVENTS ANYWAYS, ONE MORE FUN THAN THE OTHER, BUT THE SHOVEL IN THE GROUND FOR OPPORTUNITIES OPPORTUNITY HOMES LATEST ON COMMERCE SQUARE CENTRAL COMMERCE CENTRAL COMMERCE FAIRLY I MEAN IT THERE VERY MUCH AND THE WONDERFUL EVENTS SUPER LOCATION.
SO IT'S A PERFECT LOCATION FOR THAT ONE OF ONE OF OUR OUR, OUR CHEAP ITEMS THAT WE WANT FOR THE FOR THE ONE.
AND IT'S VERY CLOSE TO ALMONDO.
IT'S VERY CLOSE TO THE SPUR CENTER, VERY CLOSE TO TO RIVERWALK COLUMN.
SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT ALSO ATTENDED ALONG WITH SEVERAL OF MY PEO MEMBERS SITTING NEXT TO ME TO THE THE MAYOR'S PRESS CONFERENCE THAT THAT SHE HAD AS WELL TALKING ABOUT THE TASK FORCE THAT SHE HAS MEMBERS DO AND AND THERE WAS A GOOD INCIDENT TOO.
SO OUR NEXT MEETING IS GOING TO BE MAY 4TH, 3:00 TO 5:00.
AND I REALLY WANT TO THANK AND AND SHOUT OUT TO STEPHEN A AND GABRIEL FOR BRINGING THE AGENDAS FORWARD AND JUST GOOD INFORMATION.
OUR, OUR MEETINGS ARE PACKED WITH GREAT INFORMATION AND IT IT IT'S SHOWING THAT PEO IS BEING ACKNOWLEDGED OUT THERE AS THE ATTENDANCE IS BUILDING AND BUILDING SO VERY I'M GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT BEING RIGHT.
AND JAMES, YOU CAN SEE YOU ACROSS YOUR MANAGER NEIGHBOR DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CRYSTAL, I'M LOOKING TO MAKE IT TO YOUR WORK TODAY, SO I'M HAPPY TO GET A QUICK UPDATE.
RSS NOT MEET DURING APRIL DURING OUR USUAL TIME, BUT I WANTED TO PASS ALONG AN ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY SEEKING APPLICANTS.
RSS IS CURRENTLY SETTING APPLICATIONS SORT OF COMMITTEE MEMBER APPOINTMENTS.

AND THEN I ALSO MADE SUPPLIERS.
THEY'RE OVER ON THE RESEARCH TABLE OVER THERE.
IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE IN YOUR ORGANIZATION AND YOU LIKE TO PLUG IN YOU'RE A VECTOR A POLICY PROVIDER.
I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU WANT ME TO HAVE AND THANKS.
WE HAVE A LOT OF UPDATES FOR YOU TODAY.
THIS MONTH, IT'S BEEN A VERY EXCITING MONTH.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE SHIP AND REFRESH THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO UNDERTAKE THE CONCERN FOR THAT GREAT UPDATES.
THE FIRST ITEM RELATED SAYS OUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING LINE COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS THIS TIME A BIG WEEK AS COMMISSIONER ABRAHAM MENTIONED, WE'VE HAD A VERY EXCITING GROUNDBREAKING FOR CENTRAL AT COMMERCE.
THE NEW APARTMENTS IN DISTRICT 2, NEARLY 300 UNITS AND OVER 40 OF THOSE ARE SET ASIDE FOR FAMILIES AT 30% IN LINE OVER THE THE ENTIRE PROJECT IS SET ASIDE FOR FAMILIES AT 70% BEING HIGHER BELOW ON RECOGNIZING COMMISSIONER REYES AND OPPORTUNITY HOME TEAM.
AND YES, THE COMMISSIONER YOU MENTIONED IT'S A GREAT LOCATION, BUT IT WAS RECIPIENT $6 MILLION FROM THE HOUSING BONDS.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO PUT A GROUND ON THAT PROJECT.
AND THIS MORNING, CITY COUNCIL APPROVED NEARLY $21 MILLION IN FUNDING FOR EIGHT AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMMUNITIES.
THAT INCLUDES $12 MILLION FOR THE HOUSING FUND AND COMBINED OVER 8 AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS FROM OUR FEDERAL FUNDS TO SUPPORT ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS.
I'LL BE PROVIDED TO YOU WITH AN UPDATE AT LAST MONTH, BUT WE'RE ABLE TO TALK TO DETAILS ON ALL THE PROJECTS.
SO THIS MORNING THEY WERE SHARED, THEY WERE APPROVED.
WE'RE REALLY EXCITED TO COMBINE.
THAT'S GOING TO BE 580 HOMES THAT WE'RE CREATING WITH THIS FUNDING, INCLUDING OVER 160 HOMES, LOW 50% OF THE AREA AND INCOME AND OVER 70 BOMBS EITHER THROUGH OUR TWO NEW COMMUNITY LAND TRUST OR THROUGH SAME FAMILY HOMEOWNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT.
SO REALLY EXCITING MORNING FOR THE HOUSING BOND AND WE'RE RUNNING ON FEDERAL FUNDS WITH THAT ACTION.
WE HAVE $9 MILLION UP FOR THE 150 MILLION BOND THAT IS YET TO BE PERMITTED.
BIG PLAN FOR THAT FUNDING IS WE'RE VERY CLOSELY WITH THE HOUSING TRUST TO ACQUIRE LAND ALONG THE GREEN LINE OR THE SILVER LINE.
SO THOSE ACQUISITIONS AND PROPERTIES, THOSE ACQUISITIONS WILL BE COMING TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL PROBABLY IN JUNE, SO THIS SUMMER.
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.
SO AS WE ARE COMMITTING THE LAST HOUSING FUNDS, WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH OUR PARTNERS TO GET THOSE FUNDS PUT TO GOOD USE, COMMUNITIES OPEN, HOLES FINISHED, PEOPLE MOVED IN.
WE WANT TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE 20/20/2000 BOND, HOW THIS FUNDS ARE UTILIZED.
SINCE WE HAVE THIS KIND OF HOUSING THAT WE CREATED, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE FOLKS ARE AWARE OF ALL THE DIFFERENT DIVERSE STYLES INSIDE FROM HOME OWNERSHIP TO PRESERVATION OPPORTUNITIES TO ALL.
SPECIFICALLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING CHRONIC HOMELESSNESS.
THERE'S A LOT THAT WE'VE DONE WITH THE HOUSING BOND.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE IN SAN ANTONIO HAVE THAT INFORMATION.
AS PART OF THAT EFFORT, WE WILL ALSO BE SOLICITING FEEDBACK ON THOUGHTS OR YES, THE POTENTIAL FUTURE HOUSING BONDS.
SO IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE AWARENESS AS PART OF OUR PUBLIC INFORMATION CAMPAIGN ABOUT WHAT WE'VE DONE UP AT THE BOND WE HAVE AND SOLICIT FEEDBACK ON WHAT THE NEXT CHAPTER ON HOUSING BOND COULD LOOK LIKE.
ON THAT NOTE, THERE WILL BE A CONVERSATION NEXT MONTH IN MAY, THE DATE IS MAY 1320 SESSION WHERE THERE WILL BE THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE NEXT ITERATION OF THE ENTIRE CAPITAL BOND.
AND A PORTION OF THAT DISCUSSION COULD BE RELATED TO THE HOUSING BOND.
SO JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT ON YOUR RADAR.
THIS IS THE LIST OF THE HOUSING BOND COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED.
ESSENTIALLY, WE ARE PLANNING TO HAVE ONE IN EVERY SINGLE COUNCIL DISTRICTS PLUS ONE VIRTUAL SESSION.
WE HAVE ABOUT MAYBE 3 OR 4 THAT ARE STILL TO BE DETERMINED, THE DATES, BUT WE HAVE MOST OF THE SCHEDULE ALREADY KIND OF PENCILED OUT.
SO WE'LL BE PROMOTING THESE CONVERSATIONS, ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IN GETTING THE WORD OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO HAVE AS MANY VOICES AS POSSIBLE.
[00:40:03]
REALLY, AGAIN JUST TRYING TO BUILD AWARENESS AND AT THE SAME TIME GET MORE FEEDBACK ON THE ON THE NEXT CHAPTER.FOR HOUSING ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, THIS IS OUR RENTAL ASSISTANCE AT NEW LOCATION.
OUR RENTAL ASSISTANCE CONTINUES TO OPEN EVERY MONTH OF THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH.
I'M STILL LOOKING FOR A NUMBER.
AGAIN, WORKING WITH OUR TEAM, WHATEVER THEIR OPTIONS COULD BE, EVEN WITH THAT QUICK WINDOW OPENING.
WE HAVE OVER 200 APPLICATIONS THAT WE CAN ACCEPT A MONTH, RIGHT AROUND 30 AND 40 THAT ARE APPROVED EVERY MONTH.
SO TO DATE, SO FAR, WE'VE RECEIVED OVER 4500 APPLICATIONS, APPROVED $2. 8 MILLION IN ASSISTANCE TO NEARLY 850 FAMILIES.
YOU CAN SEE THE AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD HAS RECEIVED JUST OVER $3200 IN ASSISTANCE AND SOCIALLY GOING TO THE MOST VULNERABLE IN OUR COMMUNITY WITH THE AVERAGE INCOME BELOW 25% OF THE IRRIGATED INCOME IN OUR COMMUNITY.
SO FAMILIES ARE MULTIPLE FOR UP TO THREE MONTHS OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE TO HELP THEM STAY HOUSE ACTIVE HOUSE AND STABILITY.
AND WE ARE BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT FOR THIS RESOURCE.
WE CONTINUE TO USE THE FUNDING TO FOR FAMILIES WHO ARE IN THE PROCESS OF AN ACTIVE COURT OR DIVISION OR THOSE WHO HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE TO VACATE.
FOR OUR RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM THAT'S OPENED AROUND IT SAYS APPLICATIONS ARE ALWAYS ACCEPTED.
WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED OVER 1200 APPLICATIONS SO FAR AND OVER NEARLY $340, 000 OF ASSISTANCE TO DISCOVER 200 FAMILIES.
THIS PROGRAM NEEDS FOR OVER 3 JUST ABOUT $3000 RELOCATION ASSISTANCE TO HELP FAMILIES FIND A NEW PROFILE SO THAT CAN COVER SECURITY DEPOSITS, THREE UTILITIES MOVING EXPENSES.
SO WITH THE AVERAGE ASSISTANCE AGAINST GOING TO FAMILIES AT THE THE WILL SEE.
SO THE AVERAGE SHARING INCOME IS ABOUT 28%.
SO A FAMILY OF 3 INSTEAD OF TIME WOULD BE GETTING LESS THAN $30, 000 A YEAR ON AVERAGE TO RECEIVE THIS PROGRAM.
OUR TOTAL PLANNING FOR THE YEAR IS $5. 7 MILLION, WHICH MORE OFTEN WILL HELP APPROXIMATELY 1800.
RICHARD FAMILIES FACING HOUSING AND STABILITY AND FINANCIAL PARTITION FOR OUR HOUSING REHAB PROGRAM WE ARE THIS ADDRESSES CRITICAL HOME REPAIRS.

THIS FOCUSES ON INCOME ELIGIBLE FAMILIES WHO HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE HOME.
AND I REALLY WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT YOUNG CHILDREN NEEDS KIDS WHO ARE BI OR YOUNGER AND IT COULD EVEN BE A FAMILY WHO HAS A CHILD THAT VISITS THE HOME AT LEAST SIX HOURS A WEEK.

I'M GOING TO UPLIFT THE NEXT PCPC MEETING ON APRIL 20.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ITEMS THAT WILL BE PRESENTED.
FIRST, A FOLLOW UP ON THE COSA VOUCHERS REQUEST THAT COUNCILLOR MISSIO WOULD KEEP FILES MENTIONING WHAT INCENTIVES FOR LANDMARKS TO HELP ACCEPT HOUSING VOUCHERS.
SO WE'LL BE GIVING A FOLLOW UP, FOLLOW UP ON THAT REQUEST AND THEN WE'LL ALSO BE HAVING A CONVERSATION AND BRIEFING WITH THE PCC MEMBERS ON SOURCE OF INCOME DISCRIMINATION FOR VETERANS.
HOUSING COMMISSION HAS HEARD THIS PROPOSED ITEM IN THE PAST, MAYBE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO.
IT WAS BROUGHT UP AGAIN AT B SESSION EARLIER THIS MONTH.
SO THIS WILL BE A FOLLOW UP TO THE FULL COMMITTEE TO HAVE ANOTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT POTENTIAL FUTURE ORDINANCE ON THE ISSUE.
SO PLEASE JOIN US TO HEAR THAT DISCUSSION.
BE SURE TO REACH OUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WITH MY PRESENTATION.
ANY QUESTIONS? YEAH, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE GOOD QUESTION.
OF THE $9 MILLION THAT YOU STATED THAT ARE LEFT OF 150, DO YOU ALL HAVE SITES THAT YOU'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED TO POSSIBLY INQUIRE? AND IF SO, DO YOU KNOW WHAT KIND OF ROB ESTIMATE OF HOW MANY UNITS OF HOUSES? SO WE WE HAVE A PRELIMINARY LIST OF NOT QUITE TWO DOZEN, BUT ESSENTIAL PROPERTIES THAT WOULD BE GOOD LOCATIONS FOR HOUSING.
WE'RE LIVING LOOKING AT LARGE PARCELS OF LANDS.
WE'RE NARROWING THAT LIST DOWN AND JUST SLOWLY DEPENDS ON WHAT THAT HOUSING COMMUNITY LOOKS LIKE.
SO BILL AS MR. ABRAHAM, JUST A A LOCATION SUGGESTION FOR THE ONE IN IN IN DISTRICT 8 FOR THE COMMUNITY CONVERSATION CONVERSATION THROUGH THE CODY LIBRARY.
THAT PLACE IS REALLY TIGHT AND WE GOT A BUNCH OF ANGRY CITIZENS PRESIDENTS WHEN WE HELD A MEETING THERE PREVIOUSLY.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN IT WAS BORN.
I REMEMBER, I DON'T KNOW IT WAS OK.
SO SO THERE'S THERE'S MY WITNESSES.
ANYWAYS, I DON'T SEE JUST UNIVERSITY OF UNITED CHURCH.
HE WAS PRETTY HELPFUL FOR FOR THIS SHAPE FOR THE HARVARD PARKS LOCATION AS WELL.
[00:50:02]
THIS IS AN IDEA.I I I KNOW IT'S SUB TO SAY THANK YOU.
PLEASE QUESTION ON THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOND COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN GOALS OF THOSE MEETINGS AND WHAT IS THE INTENTION TO FOLLOW THEM? SO THE MAIN GOAL IS TO RAISE EMERGENCIES THAT WE HAD HOUSING BONDS THAT IT WAS USED TO CREATE LOTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF HOUSING.
WHAT HOW PEOPLE FOR ABILITY WE OFFERED SHOWCASE THE SIZE OF FAMILIES WHO REAR DOWN HOUSE AS A BENEFIT OF THEM FOR THE HOUSING BOND.
ONE OF THE CATEGORIES IS PERMANENT SUPPORT HOUSING.
A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T EVEN REALIZING THE HOUSING BOND AND HELP FUND A LOT OF THE COMMUNITIES LIKE TOM THE VILLAGE CONFERENCE A GREAT TRAILS THAT HELP SERVE THOSE POPULATIONS.
SO THAT'S THE MAIN GOAL IS BUILDING WHERE IT IS, GETTING INFORMATION OUT, BUT THAT WOULD ACTUALLY GENERATE IDEAS, THOUGHTS, FEEDBACK ON THESE ARE GOING TO BE IN OTHER BONDS.
HERE'S HOW I RECOMMEND YOUR GAPS THAT WOULD BE IN THE COMMUNITY CORE HOUSING SO IT WILL BE HEARD OF THE THINGS.
ALSO HOPEFUL THAT NETWORKS THAT YOU WORK IN, ESPECIALLY YOUTH VOICE, CAN BE PRESENT AT THOSE EVENTS TO REALLY KIND OF PLAY ACROSS THE NEED THAT WE'RE SEEING.
I THINK THE GROUP THAT YOU WORK WITH REGULARLY AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND MAYBE TRADITIONALLY HAVEN'T HAD VOICE.
AND SO THE ABILITY TO BE ACROSS SEVERAL, I THINK WOULD BE IMPORTANT.
SO JUST THE ABILITY FOR ALL OF THE COMMISSION TO BE ABLE TO PUSH THIS OUT WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE FOR US.
WE DID A PREVIEW AT THE SHIP ANNUAL EVENT LAST JANUARY WHERE WE HAD KIND OF A PILOT OF A COMMUNITY CONVERSATION.
IT WAS VERY INTERACTIVE IN KIND OF TAKING ON A JOURNEY AND PASSING ON.
SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT POINT.
AGAIN, JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
FIRST OF ALL, I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THE RENT WISE WORKSHOP FOR YOUNG ADULTS.
IF YOU'D LIKE FOR US TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO RECRUIT THEM FOR THE YOUTH ACTION BOARD WHERE THEY'RE COMPENSATED FOR THEIR TIME TO REVIEW HOMELESS RESPONSE SYSTEM POLICIES, JUST LET ME KNOW OR COORDINATE WITH COMMISSIONER HOLLY AND CEO ARE ON HERE AS WELL.
IF THAT WOULD BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY IS THE WAY TO KEEP ENGAGED.
AND THEN ALSO I'M, I'M GETTING ACQUAINTED WITH THE VOUCHER ISSUE THAT IS COMING BACK THAT WE TALKED ABOUT.
WAS IT OVER A YEAR AGO NOW? AND JUST CURIOUS IF THE MAYOR'S OFFICE HAS BEEN BRIEFED ON THE REACH EFFORT AND SEEN THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS CAUSE THOSE GIVE SOME PATHWAYS FORWARD THAT I THINK WE ALL JUST NEED SOME CAPACITY AND FOCUS TO KEEP MOVING BEYOND THE INITIAL.
WE TAKES THE ENTIRE NAME OF THE COUNCIL IN THE SESSION ON THE APRIL FIRST STABLE EQUIPMENT AND WE TALKED AT LANDON ABOUT THE REACH CONVENING STAPLERS INVOLVED, THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE OUTCOMES.
I'LL GO BACK AND LOOK AT THAT THEN.
ALL RIGHT, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MOVE ON? ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
LOTS EXCITING THINGS GOING ON.
OK, SO OUR LAST ITEM IS JUST COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMUNITY UPDATES? LET'S SURE, SURE, REYES.
THANK YOU CHAIR, JUST ONE UPDATE THAT I WANTED US TO BE MINDFUL OF.
HOW DOES ACCEPTING COMMENTS FOR THE MID STATUS HOUSEHOLDS PROPOSED RULE WHICH WILL ELIMINATE FUNDING TO HOUSEHOLDS WITH IT'S INELIGIBLE OR A SUBSIDY.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE AWARE THAT IN SAN ANTONIO THIS WILL AFFECT 700 OF OUR PUBLIC HOUSING AND HOUSEHOLDS.
AND SO JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, IF IT'S A FAMILY OF 4, CURRENTLY IF ONE PERSON OF THAT BOARD MEMBER HOUSEHOLD IS INELIGIBLE IS PRORATED, THEY DON'T RECEIVE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THAT, BUT THE OTHER THREE IN THE HOUSEHOLD RECEIVE FUNDING.
IN THIS NEW PROPOSED RULE, NO ONE GETS FUNDING IN THE HOUSEHOLD IF ONE PERSON IS ELIGIBLE.
SO AGAIN, 700 FAMILIES IN OUR FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY WOULD BE IMPACTED.
WE KNOW THAT OUR HOUSING SYSTEM IS ALREADY AT CAPACITY.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE THAT THESE HOUSEHOLDS REMAIN HOUSE.
AND SO I WANT TO INVITE THOSE WATCHING OR LISTENING TO SUBMIT COMMENTS ONLINE WITH THE FEDERAL REGISTRY.
YOU CAN JUST GOOGLE HIGH PROPOSED RULE ON MIXED INCOME FIXED STATUS HOUSEHOLDS TO FIND THE LINK.
WELL, PRIOR TO THIS MEETING ABOUT TWO HOURS AGO, WE CHECKED THERE ARE ABOUT 6 COMMENTS ONLY FROM SAN ANTONIO IN THOSE COMMENTS LISTED.
SO THERE'S A DIRE NEED FOR A RESPONSE FROM THE CITY THAT HAS A DIRECT IMPACT ON THESE 700 FAMILIES.
SO I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO GIVE COMMENTS.
[00:55:03]
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR UPDATES? OK.WELL, WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO RETURN.
ANY FOLKS? ALL RIGHT, WE'LL JOIN OUR MEETING AT 5:12.
I.
