          HCD IS PRESENTING REQUESTS ASSOCIATED WITH COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING OR CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING AWARDS, ALSO KNOWN AS EARMARKS. 
          MEMBERS OF CONGRESS CAN REQUEST PROVISIONS DESIGNATING AN AMOUNT OF FUNDS FOR A PARTICULAR RECIPIENT, SUCH AS A LOCAL GOVERNMENT OR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION FOR A SPECIFIC PROJECT. 
          THESE PROVISIONS ARE CALLED CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING IN THE US SENATE AND COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. 
          FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE PRESENTATION, THESE AWARDS WILL BE REFERRED TO AS COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING FOR THE CITY. 
          THE GOVERNMENT RELATIONS OFFICE COORDINATES THE COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING REQUEST PROCESS WHERE CITY DEPARTMENTS CAN SUBMIT A REQUEST THAT THEN MUST BE PAIRED WITH AND ACCEPTED BY A CONGRESS MEMBER WHO WILL SUBMIT THE REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION WITHIN THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. 
          ONCE APPROVED IN THE CONGRESSIONAL APPROPRIATIONS ACT, THE RECIPIENTS MUST DESIGN THEIR PROJECT TO ALIGN WITH THE DESCRIPTIONS APPROVED BY CONGRESS FOR THE USE OF THESE FUNDS. 
          THE ITEMS BEING PRESENTED TODAY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH APPLYING FOR AND ACCEPTING COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING AWARDS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2023 CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT THAT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW ON DECEMBER 29TH, 2022. 
          THE AWARDS ARE ADMINISTERED THROUGH THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND THE US HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FOR ITEM THREE. 
          A HCD IS RECOMMENDING COUNCIL APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF REQUIRED APPLICATION MATERIALS TO THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR FOR A $1 MILLION COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING AWARD, EXECUTION OF THE GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF HOUSTON AND THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR BY THE MAYOR OR THE MAYOR'S DESIGNEE AND EXECUTION OF GRANT RELATED FORMS AND DOCUMENTS BY THE MAYOR OR THE MAYOR'S DESIGNEE THROUGH A SOLICITATION PROCESS. 
          HCD WILL IDENTIFY ONE OR MORE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE JOB TRAINING IN THE HOME RECOVERY AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES. 
          THE PROPOSED BUDGET INCLUDES $890,000 TO DELIVER JOB TRAINING TO PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS AND $110,000 TOWARD HCD COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ADMINISTERING THIS COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING AWARD. 
          AFTER THE APPLICATION TO DOL IS APPROVED AND THE GRANT AGREEMENT IS EXECUTED, HCD WILL PRESENT THE AGREEMENTS WITH SELECTED NONPROFITS TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. 
          HCD IS REQUESTING APPROVAL TO APPLY FOR AND RECEIVE THIS COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING AWARD FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THIS CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION OF AGENDA ITEM THREE A. 
          THANK YOU MUCH. 
          A COUPLE OF CLARIFYING QUESTIONS. 
          SO, UH, WE KNOW THESE ARE FEDERAL DOLLARS, WHICH TAKE QUITE A BIT OF TIME TO GET TO THE STREET. 
          UM, SO ON UH, THREE A I KNOW IT SAYS IN THE, IN THE, UH, BACKUP THAT WE HAVE TO APPLY AND SUBMIT BY JANUARY, 2024. 
          AND THEN WHAT'S THE EXPECTATION IN TERMS OF A TIMELINE TO GET THIS TO THE STREET? WE, UH, UH, FROM, FROM JANUARY FORWARD OR THE SUBMISSION SUBMISSION YEAH. 
          ONCE WE WERE THE SUBMISSION AND THE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE. 
          WHAT'S, IN YOUR EXPERIENCE, WHAT'S THE TURNAROUND IN TERMS OF GETTING THE FEDERAL DOLLARS FOR, FROM A CONGRESSIONAL EARMARK? IT, IT, UNFORTUNATELY IT IS QUITE LENGTHY. 
          UM, SOME HAVE BEEN AS MUCH AS A YEAR FROM THE POINT OF APPROVAL TO ACTUALLY EXECUTION. 
          BUT THIS ONE I PROBABLY, IT WOULD PROBABLY LESS THAN SIX MONTHS OKAY. 
          BETWEEN THE APPROVAL PROCESS ENTERING INTO AGREEMENTS WITH THE AGENCIES AND SO FORTH. 
          SURE. 
          AND THE SAME QUESTION FOR THREE B. 
          UH, I'LL, UH, SAME, UH, THE THREE B IS A LITTLE BIT LONGER. 
          I THINK THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR HAS BEEN A LITTLE SWIFTER AND MOVING THROUGH THE PROCESS AS COMPARED TO HUD. 
          SURE. 
          I MEAN, I NOTE IT SAYS, UM, MUST BE SPENT BY AUGUST 31ST, 2031, UM, FOR THREE B. 
          BUT IN TERMS OF RECEIVING THE DOLLARS, YOU EXPECT SOMETHING SIMILAR IN TERMS OF TIMELINE? YEAH, WE'RE STILL, YES, WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT. 
          THEY'VE JUST UNFORTUNATELY TAKEN A LITTLE BIT LONGER. 
          THIS IS A NEW PROCESS FOR BOTH HUD AND THE DOL SINCE THE, UM, COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING KIND OF CAME BACK FORWARD IN THIS NEW ITERATION. 
          AND I THINK WITH 2022 THEY WERE REALLY WORKING OUT THE KINKS AND THEY'VE MADE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THEIR PROCESSES THAT I HOPE WILL RESULT IN A MORE SWIFT, UM, IMPLEMENTATION OF THEIR PIECES THAT ALLOW US TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE FUNDING. 
          SURE. 
          THANK YOU MUCH. 
          UH, VICE CHAIR ROBINSON. 
          THANK YOU CHAIR. 
          AND, UH, MS. LONDON, 
          [00:10:01]
JUST, UM, EXCUSE ME. 
          I BEG YOUR PARDON. 
          UM, I'M SEEING SOMETHING THAT I GOT AS AN EMAIL YESTERDAY AFTERNOON THAT SAID THAT THE AMOUNT HAD INCREASED FROM 750 TO A MILLION. 
          JUST THAT CAUGHT MY EYE FIRST ON THE AGENDA 'CAUSE I HEARD A MILLION AND THEN I WAS SEEING 750,000. 
          SO IT'S, IT'S $1 MILLION FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR FOR JOB TRAINING IN THE HOME RECOVERY AND CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES. 
          THAT IS THE CORRECT AMOUNT. 
          1 MILLION, WAS THAT A TYPO OR IS THAT A LATE CHANGE? UH, THAT WAS A TYPO. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NO OTHER QUESTIONS IN THE QUEUE. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT.

          THE ENGAGEMENT CENTER, WHICH SERVES AS AN ENTRY POINT OR FRONT DOOR FOR CLIENTS, ENGAGING IN A CONTINUUM OF SERVICES THAT FACILITATE MOVEMENT TOWARDS STABILIZED EMPLOYMENT, HOUSING, AND SELF-SUFFICIENCY. 
          THE HOUSING CASE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM IS SPECIFICALLY FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES THAT WERE FORMALLY HOMELESS WITH THE DISABLING CONDITION, PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR INDIVIDUALS PLACED IN HOUSING TO CONTINUE THEIR STABILITY AND ONGOING WORK TO REBUILD THEIR LIVES AND PROVIDE SERVICES FOR AFTER AN INDIVIDUAL HAS BEEN HOUSED, IS ESSENTIAL TO HELPING PEOPLE OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN LONG-TERM STABILITY AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.

          THERE WERE NO FINDINGS OR CONCERNS IN THEIR MOST RECENT MONITORING AND COMPLIANCE. 
          UM, TODAY WE HAVE ALEXIS LE, PRESIDENT AND CEO, UH, LARRY KRAUSE, DIRECTOR OF GRANTS, AND KELLY WARD, PROGRAM MANAGER HERE IN THE AUDIENCE. 
          CAN YOU HAVE THEM APPROACH PLEASE? THANK YOU. 
          HAVE WHO APPROACHED SEARCH. 
          SEARCH? YES. 
          ONE PERSON. 
          SORRY. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          THANK YOU FOR JOINING US IN PERSON IN THE CHAMBERS. 
          UH, SEARCH HAS BEEN A LONG TIME PARTNER OF THE CITY AS WE CAN SEE, SO IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT THERE ARE NO FINDINGS AND THAT, UM, Y'ALL ARE CONTINUING TO SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS. 
          UM, OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS AS CHAIR, OFTENTIMES WE SEE ITEMS THAT SAY ALL DISTRICTS, BUT THEN WHEN WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WORK AS A DISTRICT MEMBER AND WE'RE ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS, IT IS VERY HARD TO GET AGENCIES TO COME TO THE WEST SIDE. 
          AND OFTENTIMES THERE'S NOT A FOOTPRINT OF AN AGENCY. 
          SO, UM, I AM INTERESTED IN THE TERRITORY, THE MOBILE OUTREACH, UH, UNIT WILL COVER. 
          AND THEN WHAT'S THE TERRITORY THAT SEARCH HISTORICALLY COVERS, BECAUSE IT IS A CITYWIDE ISSUE. 
          SO I WANNA GET MORE, UM, INSIGHT ON THAT. 
          SURE. 
          SO SEARCH AS MOBILE OUTREACH TEAM COVERS THE ENTIRE CITY OF HOUSTON AS WELL AS, UM, AREAS OF, OF HARRIS COUNTY. 
          UH, THE OUTREACH TEAM WORKS IN COLLABORATION WITH THE OTHER OUTREACH TEAMS THAT EXIST IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON, AND ALSO UNDER THE, BASICALLY THE SHARED OUTREACH EFFORTS OF THE COMMUNITY WITH THE WAY HOME. 
          UM, SO SEARCH OUTREACH TEAMS, YOU KNOW, WE TRAVEL TO THESE DIFFERENT PLACES, BUT OF COURSE WE FOCUS ON A MORE HOUSING BASED, UH, TYPE OF ENGAGEMENT. 
          YEARS AGO, WE USED TO REALLY FOCUS ON SAC LUNCHES AND, YOU KNOW, HYGIENE KITS, ITEMS THAT ARE ESSENTIAL TO BASIC NEEDS, AND WE STILL DO THOSE, BUT NOW WE PLACE MUCH MORE EFFORT ON WHAT'S CALLED PROGRESSIVE ENGAGEMENT, WHERE YOU GO BACK AND VISIT OVER AND OVER AGAIN. 
          SO FOR THAT REASON, UNFORTUNATELY, IT MEANS THAT WE DON'T GET EVERYWHERE EVERY DAY. 
          AND SO WE TARGET DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY, UM, IN COLLABORATION WITH THOSE ENCAMPMENT DECOMMISSIONING EFFORTS AND OTHER EFFORTS OF THE CITY TO TARGET AN AREA IN RETURN WEEK AFTER WEEK. 
          THANK YOU FOR SHARING. 
          I THINK THIS IS HELPFUL TO ME. 
          AND THEN HOPEFULLY OTHER COUNCIL OFFICES. 
          AND THEN IF YOU'RE WILLING, IF THERE'S SOME LARGER INFORMATION, BROAD INFORMATION AROUND YOUR, UM, TOUCH POINTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, I THINK THAT WILL BE HELPFUL TO BE SHARED WITH, UH, COUNCIL OFFICES. 
          THANK YOU. 
          UM, ITEM FOUR B, THE DE THE DEPARTMENT IS PRESENTING BEFORE COMMITTEE AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZED IN A SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT, AGAIN WITH SEARCH HOMELESS SERVICES, PROVIDING UP TO $327,538 IN EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT FUNDS TO CONTINUE PROVIDING RAPID REHOUSING CASE MANAGEMENT TO A MINIMUM OF 100 HOUSEHOLDS.

          THIS AGREEMENT TURN WILL RUN FROM JANUARY 1ST, 2024 THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST, 2024. 
          THERE ARE NO FINDINGS OR CONCERNS IN THEIR MOST RECENT COMPLIANCE MONITORING REPORT. 
          SEARCH WAS INITIALLY SELECTED BY CHILDCARE COUNCIL TO PROVIDE RAPID REHOUSING SERVICES. 
          THIS AGREEMENT WITH CHILDCARE COUNCIL AND THE CITY IS COMING TO AN END FIRST QUARTER OF 2024. 
          AND TO AVOID A GAP IN SERVICES, THE DEPARTMENT SELECTED SEARCH HOMELESS SERVICES FROM THE EXISTING RAPID REHOUSING PROVIDERS TO CONTINUE OPERATIONS.

          AND MOVING ON, WE'RE GONNA GO TO ITEM FOUR C.

          AND THE 2024 MULTIFAMILY HOUSING PRIORITIES. 
          UM, SO BEGINNING WITH, UH, EMILY AT MESA, UH, A CD IS RECOMMENDING COUNCIL APPROVAL, A A MOTION ESTABLISHING A DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING ON OCTOBER 25TH, 2023 TO PROVIDE A RESOLUTION OF NO OBJECTION FOR THE 4% TAX TAX CREDIT APPLICATION ON EMILY HOUSTON MESA, TCI, UH, LP PER TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION, UH, 2306 DASH 6 7 0 7 1. 
          THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE JURISDICTION WHERE THE PROJECT IS TO BE LOCATED MUST HOLD A HEARING TO SOLICIT PUBLIC INPUT CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT BEFORE THE DEVELOPER CAN SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR A NON-COMPETITIVE 4% TAX CREDIT. 
          A CD HAS PERFORMED A THRESHOLD REVIEW AND RECOMMENDS A RESOLUTION OF NO OBJECTION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS, LOCATED IN T 22, LELAND WOODS NOT LOCATED IN A FLOOD WHERE OR A HUNDRED YEAR FLOODPLAIN, UH, HCD IS RECOMMENDING. 
          LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE THE SAME MULTIPLE PIECES. 
          SO THE, THE REASONS WERE THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND NOT LOCATED INTO IN 
          [00:25:01]
THE FLOODWAY ARE THE FLOOD PLAIN. 
          AND THAT CONCLUDES THAT ONE IN REFERENCE TO, UH, EMILY AND MESA. 
          DO WE HAVE A, UM, A MI FOR THIS PROJECT? I BEG PARDON? AN A MI IS THIS A FOUR? THIS IS A 4%. 
          THESE ARE THE 4%. 
          THESE ARE ALL REALLY? OH, THIS IS THE REHAB, RIGHT? YEAH. 
          THESE ARE, THESE ARE ARE WITH, UH, HOUSTON HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION. 
          YEAH. 
          SO THEY'RE, WE'RE REQUIRED TO PRESENT THESE TO CITY COUNCIL. 
          SURE. 
          BUT THEY DON'T HAVE AN, UM, AN A MI LISTED FOR THIS PROPERTY, FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          THEY'RE GONNA BE 60% A MI 60 UHHUH . 
          A HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE PROJECT IS 60%. 
          OR IS IT LIKE 60 TO 80 OR, UH, A HUNDRED PERCENT WILL BE AT LEAST 60. 
          THANK YOU. 
          AND THEN THE NEXT ONE, HOLD ON ONE SECOND. 
          WE HAVE A QUESTION FROM THE OFFICE OF COUNCIL MEMBER KNOTZ. 
          THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          FOR THIS PROJECT AND THE ONES THAT ARE COMING UP, DO Y'ALL CHECK TO SEE IF THE DEVELOPER HAS REACHED OUT TO THE NEARBY NEIGHBORHOODS AND ALSO WHAT TYPE OF PLAN THEY HAVE TO REACH OUT TO HAVE PEOPLE COME LIVE WITH THEIR PROJECTS? SO IN ALWAYS ALL THOSE PROJECTS, WE ALWAYS ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPER TO REACH OUT TO NOT ONLY THE, THE DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER, TO ALL THE COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO MAY BE IMPACTED, BUT ALSO REACH OUT TO THE, TO THE COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO GET BUY-IN FROM THE COMMUNITY. 
          WE HAVE ALWAYS SUGGESTED THAT IT'S A LOT EASIER IF YOU GET THEM ON BOARD, UH, BEFORE THE FACT THAN TO WAIT TILL AFTER. 
          SO WE HAVE ENCOURAGED THEM. 
          AND HAVE THEY GONE? YES. 
          AND THEY HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          GREAT. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THANK YOU. 
          CHAIR. 
          THEY'RE, THEY'RE ALSO PRESENT, UM, HERE. 
          RICHARD ASHTON, UH, WITH LIBERTY MULTIFAMILY, UH, CORPORATION IS HERE. 
          ALSO PRESENT IF YOU HAD ANY QUESTIONS. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          OUR NEXT ITEM WAS WELLINGTON PARK, UH, AC A CD RECOMMENDS COUNCIL APPROVAL, UM, MOTION TO ESTABLISH A DATE FOR PUBLIC HEARING ON OCTOBER 25TH, 2023 TO PROVIDE A RESOLUTION OF NO OBJECTION FOR A 4% TAX CREDIT APPLICATION FOR WP INVESTORS LP, UH, AGAIN, PER THE TEXAS, UH, GOVERNMENT CODE, UH, WE ARE REQUIRED TO, UH, UH, SOLICIT PUBLIC INPUT CONCERNING THE APPLICATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT BEFORE THE DEVELOPER CAN SUBMIT AN APPLICATION OF NON-COMPETITIVE 4% TAX CREDITS. 
          A CD HAS PERFORMED A THRESHOLD REVIEW AND RECOMMENDS A RESOLUTION OF NO OBJECTION FOR THE FOLLOWING REASON, PRESERVATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND IT IS NOT LOCATED IN A FLOODWAY OR A HUNDRED YEAR FLOOD PLAN. 
          AND THAT CONCLUDES THE 4% TAX CREDITS, THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT, UH, PROGRAM GUIDELINES. 
          DIRECTOR, I WANNA CLARIFY. 
          SO WELLINGTON PARK IS THE REHAB, WELLINGTON PARK IS THE REHAB IS THE REHAB, THE FIRST ONE IS NEW CONSTRUCTION. 
          IS NEW CONSTRUCTION, YES. 
          SO ON THE REHAB, THE EXISTING 244 UNIT PROPERTY, THAT'S GONNA REMAIN THAT A MI REMAINS FOR WHAT IT IS, CORRECT. 
          LIKE CURRENTLY, CORRECT. 
          CORRECT. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO THAT WON'T CHANGE. 
          SO THEN ON THE NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR MARION, FOR MARION PARKWAY? NO, THAT'S THE NEW CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL HAVE 60% A MI. 
          THAT'S EMILY AT EMILY AT MESA GARDENS. 
          AT MESA. 
          AT MESA GARDEN. 
          AND THEN MARIN PARKWAY, THE BUFFALO BAYOU PARTNERSHIP. 
          SO THAT ONE IS NOT ON FOR DISCUSSION TODAY. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          TO BE CONTINUED. 
          THAT WILL BE COMING LATER. 
          I'M CLEAR. 
          I'M JUST TWO STEPS AHEAD, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I JUST ONE, THAT'S FINE. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU SO MUCH. 
          UH, ON THE AFFORDABLE HOME, UH, DEVELOPMENT, A-D-A-A-H-D PROGRAM, GUIDELINES, UH, PROGRAM GUIDELINES EXPLAIN THE PROPOSAL OF SUBMISSION, UH, PROCESS OUTSIDE THE TRADITION, UH, PROCUREMENT TIME PERIOD, AND OUTLINES THE PROCESS AND PROCEDURE FOR APPLICATION RESILIENCE, CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS PROJECT, UH, ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS, UNDERWRITING CRITERIA, FUNDING REQUIREMENTS, STANDARDS, CLOSEOUT AND MONITORING, AND, UH, COMPLIANT AND APPEALS PROCESS, COMPLAINT AND APPEALS PROCESS FOR PROFIT AND NONPROFIT. 
          SINGLE FAMILY HOME DEVELOPER APPLICANTS WILL BE EVALUATED BASED ON ALIGNMENT WITH THE CITY'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS AND PRIORITIES, UH, READINESS OF THE PROJECT, PROJECT COMPLETION TIMELINE, AND OVERALL COMMUNITY BENEFIT. 
          THE A HD PROGRAM IS FUNDED THROUGH UPTOWN TUR SERIES 2021, AFFORDABLE 
          [00:30:01]
HOME FUNDS, UH, ALLOCATION TO LARGE TRACK DEVELOPMENT. 
          THE CITY WILL ADMINISTER THE A-H-A-H-D PROGRAM IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS APPROVED GUIDELINES. 
          THE PROGRAM AIMS TO INCREASE THE CITY STOCK OF AFFORDABLE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES FOR HOUSEHOLDS BETWEEN 60% AND 120% A MI. 
          OUR NEXT ITEM IS A 2024. 
          HOLD ON DIRECTOR, ONE SECOND. 
          I'M STILL ON THE, THE GUIDELINES. 
          SO IN OUR NEW UPDATED GUIDELINES, WE HAVE INCLUDED THE, UM, ESTATE PLANNING COM, UH, COMPONENT IN THIS SET. 
          THAT IS, IS CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. 
          THAT IS, THAT IS AN ONGOING ISSUE, AND WE'RE TRYING TO, UH, ENSURE THAT WE GET THAT CORRECTED. 
          NOW. 
          YOU WANT COME TALK, SEE NOW? YOU WANT GOOD MORNING. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          UH, NO. 
          SO IT'S PERTAINING TO THE, UM, UH, HOME REPAIR PROGRAM ONLY MASTER MASTER CONTRACT AGREEMENT? YES, MA'AM. 
          GOT IT. 
          SO, JUST A CLARIFICATION. 
          UH, TWO MONTHS AGO, I BELIEVE THE MASTER CONTRACT AGREEMENT FOR HOME REPAIR CAME BEFORE THE COMMITTEE, UM, WITH CHANGES TO INCLUDE, UM, RESOURCES FOR ESTATE PLANNING. 
          AS YOU ALL KNOW, MANY OF Y'ALL ARE DEALING WITH, UH, DEED RESTRICTION ISSUES, QUALITY OF LIFE, NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION, AND UNFORTUNATELY, HISTORICALLY, WE HAVE NOT HAD THOSE TYPES OF RESOURCES AVAILABLE ON THE FRONT END. 
          THE CITY HAS SUPPORTED WITH DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE, ALL OF THAT FOR PEOPLE TO ACQUIRE THEIR ASSET. 
          BUT OVER TIME, AS, UM, ORDINANCES CHANGES NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT, HOUSTON HAS NO ZONING. 
          UM, THINGS IMPACT NEIGHBORHOODS. 
          WHAT THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT IS PROPOSING IN THE MASTER CONTRACT FOR HOME REPAIR ARE ALSO RESOURCES FOR, UM, UH, THE SAME INDIVIDUALS TO PARTICIPATE IN PROTECTING THEIR ASSET. 
          HURRICANE COMES, DISASTER COMES. 
          IF THEY DON'T, THERE'S NOT A CLEAR TITLE. 
          THE CITY IS UNABLE TO USE OUR, THE FEDERAL DOLLARS TO RESPOND TO RECOVERY. 
          SO JUST TO MAKE THE CONNECTION AND NOT TO CONFUSE ANYBODY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO THINGS. 
          YOU'RE IN THE QUEUE. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          STAFF FROM COUNCIL MEMBER, UM, EVAN SHABAZZ'S, OFFICE CHAIR. 
          MM-HMM . 
          NOT ON MIKE. 
          THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. 
          AND THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. 
          A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE DEED RESTRICTIONS IN INCLUDED IN THE DOCUMENT. 
          WELL, NOT IN THIS ONE. 
          SO, UM, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE AFFORDABLE HOME GUIDELINES. 
          I WAS REFERRING TO THE MASTER CONTRACT FOR THE HOME REPAIR. 
          RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          SO, BUT THAT'S NOT A, THAT'S WHAT WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT TODAY. 
          I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY, UM, BECAUSE I THOUGHT WE WERE INCLUDING IT IN AFFORDABLE HOME. 
          UH, THANK YOU CONLEY. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THANK YOU. 
          BUT IF WE CAN GET YOU SOME INFORMATION ON THAT ITEM, UM, TO CLARIFY THOSE RESOURCES, WE CAN DO THAT. 
          THE MASTER CONTRACT CEDRICS TEAM CAN SEND THAT. 
          IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED AS WE FEEL THAT MANY OF OUR COMMUNITIES' DE RESTRICTIONS ARE SOMEWHAT UNDER, UH, ARE BEING CHALLENGED. 
          SO THANK YOU KINDLY. 
          FOR SURE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          SO OUR NEXT ITEM, UH, FOR DISCUSSION IS THE 2024, UH, A CD MULTIFAMILY PRIORITIES. 
          THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO THE 9% TAX CREDIT. 
          THIS IS OUR PROCESS OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN MOVING FORWARD. 
          WE, AS YOU KNOW, WE WILL GO THROUGH, LET ME GIVE YOU THE TIMELINE, AND AS YOU GO TO THAT NEXT SLIDE, YOU WILL SEE THE TIMELINE ON DECEMBER 4TH, A CD WILL RELEASE APPLICATIONS FOR RESOLUTION JANUARY 5TH. 
          PRE-APP APPLICATIONS ARE DUE TO T-D-H-C-A AND ALSO ON THAT DAY, APPLICATIONS OF RESOLUTIONS ARE DUE TO HCD AND JANUARY 16TH, UH, THROUGH THE 23RD, A CD PRESENTATION TO HOUSING COMMITTEE. 
          AND THEN FEBRUARY 7TH, RESOLUTIONS PRESENTED TO CITY COUNCIL. 
          MARCH 1ST, APPLICATIONS ARE DUE TO T-D-H-C-A AND JULY 25TH, UH, T-D-H-C-H WILL AWARD THE 9% TAX CREDITS. 
          SO THIS IS A VERY LENGTHY PROCESS. 
          IT STARTS NOW, UH, WE'LL REALLY RUN THROUGH. 
          UH, AS YOU SEE HERE, WE WILL TAKE ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE END OF JULY BEFORE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE 9% TAX CREDITS, WE'LL KNOW WHERE, WHERE THEY FALL. 
          SURE. 
          DIRECTOR. 
          AND IF I MAY, BEFORE YOU CONTINUE WITH YOUR, UM, PRESENTATION, UM, FOR STAFF MEMBERS THAT ARE NEW TO, UH, THE 9% TAX CREDIT PROCESS, THIS IS A FAST AND FURIOUS ROUND. 
          UM, SO THE INFORMATION AND THE TIMELINES THAT ARE PRESENTED, PLEASE MASTER THIS CONTENT FOR YOUR MEMBER. 
          UM, UM, BECAUSE AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE, UM, WITH THE DATES PRESENTED, WE'LL BE MOVING INTO A NEW ADMINISTRATION AND WITH NEW COUNCIL COLLEAGUES. 
          SO, UM, IT'LL BE IMPERATIVE FOR, UM, EVERYONE TO STAY ON TRACK. 
          UM, REGARDING 
          [00:35:01]
THIS, UH, 9%, UM, OUR OBLIGATION AS A CITY IS TO, UM, ACCEPT A RESOLUTION OF PROJECTS THAT ALIGN WITH OUR OVERALL PRIORITIES THAT THEN GOES TO THE STATE. 
          SO OUR STEP IS ALMOST ONE, ONE A IN THE PROCESS. 
          RIGHT? AND THEN IF THE STATE LEVEL OF STATE REPRESENTATIVES, STATE SENATORS ARE IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION, THOSE PROJECTS WILL FALL AS THEY MAY. 
          AND THEN PROJECTS ARE NOT RECEIVED AS YOU SEE UNTIL THE SUMMER. 
          THEY'RE NOT NOTIFIED. 
          SO IF YOU CAN, UM, UM, COMMIT YOURSELF TO, TO, TO MASTERING THIS, IT'LL BE, UH, TRULY HELPFUL AS WE ENTER A TRANSITION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO, AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, WE WILL BE COMING BACK, UH, ONE TO HAVE A SPECIAL CALL MEETING FOR HOUSING COMMITTEE TO DO A PRESENTATION ON THOSE THAT WE ARE, ARE RECOMMENDING MOVING FORWARD. 
          SO THAT PROCESS WILL HAPPEN. 
          AND THEN, UH, AFTER THOSE PROJECTS ARE AWARDED, SOME WILL COME, MAY, MAY COME BACK TO THE CITY AND ASK FOR ASSISTANCE. 
          MANY MAY NOT. 
          SO, UH, THOSE WHO COME BACK THROUGH THE CITY WILL OBVIOUSLY COME BACK TO THIS BODY FOR A PRESENTATION. 
          THOSE THAT, UH, DO NOT SEEK ADDITIONAL CITY FUNDING, WE MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW WHAT THEIR STATUS IS AT, AT. 
          CAN YOU JUST TELL 'EM IN ADVANCE, WE AIN'T GOT IT. 
           NO MONIES. 
          , NO MONIES. 
          UH, SO, UH, JUST TO, UH, COMPLETE THIS PIECE, UH, PORTION OF THE PRESENTATION APPLICATION FOR BOTH 9%, 4% RESOLUTIONS OF NO OBJECTION MUST MEET THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF, UH, TO QUALIFY, NOT LOCATED IN A FLOODWAY OR FLOODPLAIN, NOT LOCATED IN AREAS WITH GREATER THAN 25% POVERTY, UNLESS LOCATED IN A COMPLETE COMMUNITY OR TOURS NOT ZONED TO A SCHOOL WITH A FAILING GRADE BY THE TEA, UH, WITHIN MOST RECENT REPORTING YEAR. 
          THAT'S 2223. 
          UH, THE REVIEW OF THE REQUEST FOR RESOLUTION OF NO OBJECTION DUE TO HIGH DEMAND FOR TAX EXEMPT BONDS, A CD WILL, UH, NOT REVIEW A REQUEST FOR RESOLUTION OF NO OBJECTIONS REQUIRED BY THE 4%, UH, HTC, UH, APPLICATION, UNLESS THE APPLICANT HAS SECURED A RESERVATION, UH, FOR, UH, TAX EXEMPT BONDS. 
          AND THEN YOU WILL GO TO THAT NEXT SLIDE, AND YOU WILL SEE OUR SCORING CRITERIA. 
          I'M NOT GONNA READ ALL OF THAT, BUT YOU CAN EASILY SEE, UH, EVERYTHING THAT IS CONSIDERED IN ORDER TO RECEIVE SCORING, UH, FROM THE DEPARTMENT TO MOVE THAT PROJECT FORWARD. 
          UH, NEXT SLIDE. 
          THEN YOU'LL SEE THE PRIORITY ITEMS. HCD SUPPORTS TAX CREDIT DEVELOPMENTS THAT MEET MINIMUM STANDARD AND HCD PRIORITIES TO INCLUDE, UH, RE REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION, COMPLETE COMMUNITIES AND TURS, UH, AREAS OF LOW POVERTY AND HIGH PERFORMING SCHOOLS. 
          AREAS EXPERIENCING HIGH RENTAL COSTS, TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENTS, AREAS UNDERSERVED WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING, PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND OR HOUSING SERVICE SERVICING SPECIAL NEED POPULATIONS, QUALITY ONSITE EDUCATION AND PROGRAMMING. 
          UH, HCD EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION POLICY. 
          WHEN HCD RECEIVES A TOTAL NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS IN COUNCIL DISTRICT THAT EXCEED THE DESIGNATED MAXIMUM PER DISTRICT, THE FOLLOWING FACTORS WILL BE CONSIDERED TO DETERMINE ITS FINAL RECOMMENDATION. 
          TENANT POPULATION A CD WILL PRIORITIZE THE FOLLOWING TRANSACTIONS IN ORDER GENERAL POPULATION AGE RESTRICTED POPULATION, A CD TOTAL SCORE, THE APPLICATION WITH HIGHER HCD SCORES WILL BE PRIORITIZED. 
          POVERTY INDEX, LOWER POVERTY RATE FOR APPLICATIONS SITE WITHIN EACH COUNCIL DISTRICT WILL PRIORITIZE QUALITY ONSITE EDUCATION PROGRAMS. HCD AIMS TO REFLECT A POLICY OF EQUITY EQUITABLY DISPERSED ASSISTED MULTIFAMILY, UH, DEVELOPMENTS THROUGHOUT HOUSTON. 
          AS IT AIMS TO CREATE GREATER HOUSING CHOICE COUNCIL DISTRICTS A, BDH, AND K WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR MAXIMUM OF TWO ENDORSEMENTS BY RESOLUTION COUNCIL DISTRICT, C-E-F-G-I, AND J WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A MAXIMUM OF THREE ENDORSEMENTS BY RESOLUTION, UH, EXCLUSION OF SPECIAL HOUSING, UH, UH, SPECIALIZED HOUSING CONSIDERATION WILL BE GIVEN TO PROPOSED RENTAL PROJECTS THAT TARGET A SPECIAL POPULATION. 
          THESE TYPES OF HOUSING PROJECTS SERVE A SPECIAL CLIENT BASE AND ARE NOT GEOGRAPHICALLY ORIENTED, AS ARE GENERAL MULTIFAMILY HOUSING STOCK, AND SHOULD NOT BE PLACED IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS OTHER SUBSIDIZED MULTIFAMILY HOUSING. 
          EXAMPLES OF HOUSING FOR SPECIALIZED POPULATION INCLUDE DISABLED, HOMELESS, TRANSITIONAL HOUSING, AND PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. 
          THE LIMITATION WILL NOT APPLY TO THE 
          [00:40:01]
REPAIR OR REHABILITATION OF EXISTING AFFORDABLE UNITS. 
          HOWEVER, REHAB CON, UH, REHABILITATION CON CONVERTING, CONVERTING MARKET RATE UNITS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING WILL BE COVERED BY THIS LIMITATION. 
          AND THAT COVERS THE PRESENTATION ON. 
          I SEE. 
          UM, WE HAVE ONE QUESTION IN THE QUEUE, UM, BEFORE I, UM, YIELD. 
          SO, UM, WITH THE TRANSITION WITH HISD AND THE SCHOOL RATINGS, HOW HAS THAT, HOW WILL THAT IMPACT, UM, THE COMPETITIVENESS OF APPLICATIONS WITHIN THAT PORTION OF THE, UH, CITY OF HOUSTON? RIGHT NOW? I DON'T HAVE A, A CLEAR CUT ANSWER FOR YOU ON THAT BECAUSE OF THE, UH, NOT QUITE KNOWING WHERE EVERY SCHOOL IS LANDING ON THEIR SCORING. 
          SO WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO ADDRESS THAT AS THOSE, UH, PROJECTS ARE. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I JUST WOULD JUST ASSUME THAT, UH, DEVELOPERS MIGHT BE SOME RESISTANT, UM, TO PURSUE CERTAIN AREAS BASED ON THE VOLATILE NATURE OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON WITH THE TRANSITION OF HISD. 
          AND SO I THINK IF THERE'S SOME TYPE OF GUIDANCE, UM, OR IF THERE'S SOME, UM, NOT VARIANCE, BUT JUST THERE'S NUANCE AROUND THAT BECAUSE OF THE SITUATION WE WE'RE IN AND AS A CITY. 
          BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT, UM, COUNCIL OFFICES COULD HAVE TO COMMUNICATE AS THEY ENGAGE WITH US, I THINK THAT MAY BE HELPFUL. 
          YES. 
          UM, WE HAVE STAFF GO, WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TREAD VERY LIGHTLY SURE. 
          WHEN IT COMES TO THAT. 
          SURE. 
          BECAUSE WE'RE JUST NOT SURE WHERE THE SCHOOLS, UH, IN THOSE PARTICULAR AREAS WILL LAND. 
          OR, OR IF THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN RESCORED OR, OR SURE. 
          OR GIVEN A NEW SCORE, WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE. 
          YEAH. 
          UH, THERE'S A LOT OF TENSION GOING ON. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND, UH, IN THE MEDIA, YOU HEAR A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT WHAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ISN'T DOING VERSUS WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. 
          SO IT IS A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING AT THIS POINT. 
          YEAH. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU MUCH. 
          MM-HMM . 
          STAFF AND COUNCIL MEMBER KNOX'S OFFICE. 
          THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. 
          JUST A QUICK QUESTION. 
          THE SCORING CRITERIA. 
          YES. 
          WHO COMES UP WITH THIS? UH, WE, IS IT THE CITY? WE DO. 
          OKAY. 
          YES. 
          THIS IS, THIS IS ONLY FOR, FOR US NOW, THE, THE STATE HAS ITS OWN SEPARATE SCORING CRITERIA. 
          OKAY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          MM-HMM . 
          STAFF FROM COUNCIL MEMBER EVAN SHABAZZ. 
          THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. 
          DIRECTOR. 
          AS I LOOK THROUGH THE EXAMPLE OF HOUSING FOR SPECIALIZED POPULATIONS, IS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION FOR OUR VETERANS POPULATION, OR CAN THAT BE, UH, PLACED INTO CONSIDERATION FOR FUTURE? UH, WE PROBABLY NEED TO LOOK AT WHETHER THAT FALLS INTO THAT CRITERIA. 
          UH, WE OFTENTIMES ARE IN COMPETITION WITH OTHER, UH, VETERAN OPERATIONS WHO ARE PROVIDING SPECIFIC HOUSING FOR, FOR VETERANS. 
          BUT I'M, I'M NOT SURE IF THAT WILL, UH, QUALIFY IN WHAT WE'RE IDENTIFYING HERE, BUT WE'LL LOOK INTO IT TO MAKE A DETERMINATION. 
          THANK YOU KINDLY. 
          THANK YOU MUCH. 
          VICE CHAIR. 
          UH, I JUST, I WANTED TO MAKE THE POINT. 
          I THINK DIRECTOR, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT THE CRITERIA IS SOMETHING THAT PERIODICALLY IS CIRCULATED AMONGST COUNCIL. 
          SO WE CAN ALSO WORK WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO ESTABLISH THOSE PRIORITIES THAT WE FEEL ARE STRONG. 
          SO TO STAFF FROM MY COLLEAGUE MIKE KNOX'S OFFICE, IT'S, IT'S REALLY SOMETHING THAT WE COME UP WITH AND DISCERN AND DELIBERATE AND THINK, SURE. 
          'CAUSE THIS IS OUR RECOMMENDATION. 
          UH, SO IT IS THE CITY'S, THIS IS WHERE THE CITY GETS TO PUT, HAVE INPUT. 
          SO IF, IF IT, UH, IF WE DEEM THAT, UH, WE SHOULD DO, UH, VETERANS, THEN WE NEED TO CONSIDER THAT. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND CHAIR, I THINK TO YOUR POINT EARLIER ABOUT, YOU KNOW, UH, STAFF FROM DISTRICT COUNCIL, ESPECIALLY AS WE CHANGE ADMINISTRATION FOR THE NEW YEAR, AND, YOU KNOW, SOMEHOW TO REEVALUATE THOSE PRIORITIES, SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT WE MIGHT DO, YOU ALL MIGHT DO, LET ME SAY IN THE, IN THE NEW YEAR, YES. 
          RECOMMENDATION NOTED, VICE CHAIR, THANK YOU MUCH. 
          BUT ALSO, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HELP COLOR IN THE LINES THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A LO A LOCAL, UH, METRICS AROUND THIS. 
          SO WE ARE NOT, UM, WE WALK A FINE LINE WITH, SO WE DON'T WALK A FINE LINE VIOLATING FAIR HOUSING PRACTICES FROM HUD. 
          UM, UM, THERE HAS BEEN A TIME IN THE CITY'S PRACTICE WHERE WE DID NOT HAVE THIS MA MATRIX, UM, WHERE WE CONCENTRATED POVERTY, UM, WITHIN ONE OR TWO MILES, RIGHT? IN PARTICULAR DISTRICTS. 
          AND SO WHAT YOU SEE, AND THEN HOW THE DEPARTMENT WILL REFLECT BACK TO THE BODY, UM, AN EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD, RIGHT? AND WE HAVE INCENTIVIZED COMPLETE COMMUNITIES, UM, TO HALT DIVESTMENT. 
          UM, SO THEY CAN HAVE NEW CONSTRUCTION AND, UH, ADDRESS SOME OF THE NEEDS, UM, UH, THAT HAVE BEEN, UH, REQUESTED OF US, RIGHT? SENIOR HOUSING, PERMANENT SUPPORTING TO ADDRESS OUR HOMELESSNESS. 
          UM, ALL, ALL OF THOSE THINGS. 
          SO THAT'S WHAT THAT METRIC SAYS AND SAYS. 
          AND AS AN ASIDE, UM, WHEN YOU GO BACK AND LOOK AT THE POINT SYSTEM, IT'S ONE POINT FOR COMMUNITY SUPPORT, BUT ALL OF US THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND HERE LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT COMMUNITY SUPPORT IS PARAMOUNT, RIGHT? SO ANYONE, UM, SO 
          [00:45:01]
WHEN DEVELOPERS REACH OUT TO YOUR VARIOUS OFFICES, PLEASE INSTRUCT AND DIRECT THEM TO COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, CIVIC CLUBS, HOAS, SUPER NEIGHBORHOODS, SO THEY CAN START HAVING THOSE CONVERSATIONS EARLY AND QUICKLY, BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY FAST PROCESS. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU MUCH NO QUESTIONS AROUND YOUR, UH, PRESENTATION. 
          THANK YOU. 
          IT IS A VERY FAST PROJECT AND IT IS GONNA BE VERY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW IT PLAYS OUT. 
          UH, THIS IS A UNIQUE FOR US AS WELL. 
          TYPICALLY WE DO THIS EVERY YEAR, BUT, UH, THIS YEAR, UH, IT WILL BE STARTING IN DECEMBER AND WE'LL BE FINISHING WITH A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATION. 
          SO IT WILL BE AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE THIS YEAR. 
          SO NOW FOR, UH, UPDATE HARVEY UPDATE I BRING TO YOU ASSISTANT DIRECTOR CFO TAMIKA JONES. 
          GOOD MORNING. 
          I DO HAVE TWO ITEMS TO COVER FOR YOU THIS MORNING. 
          ONE IS OFF AGENDA, SINCE THE HARVEY SLIDE IS UP, WE WILL START WITH THAT ITEM AS WE DO MONTHLY. 
          WE DID WANNA PROVIDE THE COMMITTEE WITH AN UPDATE OF WHERE WE STAND WITH OUR PERFORMANCE BENCHMARKS FOR OUR DR 17 AND HARVEY GRANT. 
          AS YOU CAN SEE, MOST OF OUR PROGRAMS, UM, ARE SUCCESSFUL OR VERY CLOSE TO BEING SUCCESSFUL, UM, WITH THEIR BENCHMARKS. 
          I BELIEVE SINCE THE LAST MEETING, UM, MULTIFAMILY HAS EXCEEDED ITS BENCHMARK AND YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT THERE BY, UM, OVER 5.4 MILLION. 
          IN ADDITION, I DO WANNA POINT OUT THAT, UM, DUE TO THE ONGOING, UM, RELOCATION EFFORTS WITH THE GLO, THE BUYOUT PROGRAM, THOSE BENCHMARKS ARE SUSPENDED FOR DECEMBER 31ST AS WELL AS IN JUNE. 
          SO IT DOES APPEAR THAT WE'RE FAR OFF THAT IS BECAUSE OF ALL THE ONGOING EFFORTS. 
          BUT WE DO WANNA PROVIDE AN UPDATE TO THE COMMITTEE OF WHERE WE STAND WITH THOSE. 
          AND SO, CAN YOU REPEAT, THEY'RE SUSPENDED FROM DECEMBER 31, UH, DECEMBER, THIS, THIS BENCHMARK HERE AND THE NEXT BENCHMARK. 
          SO IT'S THE TWO BENCHMARKS. 
          SHE'S NOT TELLING ME NO. 
          SO IT'S THE NEXT TWO BENCHMARKS. 
          THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT, RIGHT? THE TWO CYCLES THAT HAVE COME UP DECEMBER YES. 
          THE NEXT TWO CYCLES, YES. 
          SO, UM, THE BENCHMARK THAT'LL APPLY WILL BE THE ONE FOR DECEMBER, UH, 31ST OF 24 WILL BE THE NEXT ONE. 
          UM, WHERE WE'LL BE SPENDING A LOT OF OUR EFFORTS HERE WITHIN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. 
          WE'LL BE, UH, BRINGING US A LITTLE BIT CLOSER ON OUR PLANNING SIDE. 
          UM, AND THEN AS WELL AS SMALL RENTAL, WE WILL BE, UH, CLOSING THAT GAP SMALL RENTAL, BECAUSE PLANNING IS WITHIN A MILLION DOLLARS OF ITS BENCHMARK. 
          THE GLO DOES CONSIDER THAT AS A SUCCESSFULLY MEETING ITS BENCHMARK. 
          UM, AND THEN SMALL RENTAL WILL BE WORKING TO CLOSE THE GAP. 
          AND SO NOW SINCE WE HAD THE ADJUSTMENT OF BENCHMARKS, WHAT'S THE, UM, THE TIMELINE IN TERMS OF, BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE DOLLARS THAT ARE IN PROCESS FOR REIMBURSEMENT. 
          SO WHAT'S BEEN THE EXPERIENCE SINCE THE ADJUSTMENT OF GETTING THOSE DOLLARS REIMBURSED AND APPROVED? MUCH MORE POSITIVE. 
          MUCH MORE POSITIVE. 
          WE HAVE REALLY FOUND THAT THE GLO HAS BEEN A BETTER WORKING PARTNER WITH US ONCE WE HAD A CHANCE TO GO THROUGH AND REDEVELOP THE BENCHMARKS. 
          REALLY TAKING A LOOK AT WHAT OUR EXPENDITURES ARE, WHAT THE RATE OF REIMBURSEMENTS ARE. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND BEING ABLE TO WORK THROUGH SOME OF THE RFI ISSUES THAT WE'VE ENCOUNTERED OVER THE PAST. 
          UM, WE HAVE, IT'S ALMOST NIGHT AND DAY, THE DIFFERENCE IN WORKING RELATIONSHIP. 
          THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR. 
          THANK YOU MUCH. 
          NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. 
          LET'S SEE. 
          ELI, ARE YOU GOING TO MOVE TO THE PRODUCTION REPORT OR ARE WE GONNA COVER THE OFF AGENDA TOPIC? I'M NOT SURE WHERE YOU'RE GOING TO SWITCH TO NEXT. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO THE OFF AGENDA TOPIC. 
          APOLOGIES THAT THIS ITEM WAS INADVERTENTLY EXCLUDED. 
          SO YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A SUPPLEMENTAL TO THE PRESENTATION. 
          AND HCD IS RECOMMENDING COUNCIL APPROPRIATION OF $13,970,315 OF TOUR'S, AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUNDS FOR SINGLE FAMILY DISASTER RECOVERY ACTIVITIES, AND TO ADMINISTER H CDS, AFFORDABLE H HOME ACTIVITIES FOR DIRECT PROGRAM ACTIVITIES. 
          SPECIFIC CONTRACTS WILL BE BROUGHT TO CITY COUNCIL FOR ALLOCATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL PROCUREMENT RULES. 
          AND THEN WE DO PROVIDE A BRIEF DE DESCRIP DESCRIPTION OF EACH CATEGORY, UH, BELOW. 
          SO IF WE MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE, AND I BELIEVE IN YOUR HANDOUT, IT MAY BE ON THE BACKSIDE OF WHAT YOU HAVE. 
          PERFECT. 
          OKAY. 
          SO WHAT YOU CAN SEE IS THE SPLIT. 
          UM, THE FIRST ITEM IS FOR OUR DISASTER RECOVERY PROGRAM. 
          UH, $7 MILLION WILL BE USED FOR FUNDING FOR DR PROGRAM COSTS THAT WERE DEEMED INELIGIBLE OR DISALLOWED, AFFORDABLE HOME ADMINISTRATION, FEDERAL STATE GRANT, LEVERAGING, UH, $5,670,315 TO COVER ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, UH, FOR ADMINISTERING LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERALLY FUNDED ACTIVITIES BY HCD. 
          NEXT ITEM, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. 
          [00:50:01]
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, EXCUSE ME, 200, $2 MILLION FOR EXPENDITURES RELATED TO IT. 
          UM, EXPENDITURES OTHER THAN OUR HITCH CHARGEBACKS. 
          UH, RENT IS NEXT FOR 900,000, WHICH COVERS OUR OFFICE SPACE FOR 2100 TRAVIS, WHERE WE ARE LOCATED. 
          AND THEN $200,000 FOR HOMELESSNESS, UH, RELATING TO EFFORTS LEADING TO PERMANENT HOUSING FOR HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES FOR TOTAL LOVE. 
          $13,970,315. 
          AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION ON THE TOURS. 
          AFFORDABLE HOUSING APPROPRIATION. 
          I HAVE TO COME BACK TO THIS. 
          I HAVE TO SIT WITH THIS. 
          OKAY. 
          UH, STAFF AND COUNCILMAN BEVIN SHABAZZ. 
          THANK YOU CHAIR. 
          UH, THANK YOU FOR THE REPORT. 
          LOOKING AT ITEM FOR HOMELESSNESS, $200,000, IS THAT A SUFFICIENT AMOUNT FOR THAT EFFORT? SO OUR, OUR HOMELESSNESS EFFORTS ARE ACTUALLY FUNDED BY MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES. 
          UH, WE HAVE A VARIETY OF FEDERAL AND STATE GRANTS THAT PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THIS. 
          THIS IS JUST THE AMOUNT OF LOCAL FUNDS THAT WILL BE ADDED, UH, WITH THE OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. 
          IS IT POSSIBLE THAT WE MIGHT GET A TOTAL OF WHAT ALL IS EXPECTED? YES. 
          AND, UM, SO THE, THE TURS, THE TAX INCREMENT, UH, REINVESTMENT ZONE FUNDS, UM, I BELIEVE THERE WAS AN AN ITEM THAT CAME BEFORE US, OR IT'S COMING BEFORE US WHERE WE'RE, WE'RE CONTRIBUTING LIKE A HUNDRED THOUSAND OF THAT TOS SEARCH, I THINK, OR SOMETHING. 
          MM-HMM . 
          COMING, BUT YOU'LL SEE A LARGE PORTION OF OUR HOMELESS EFFORT THROUGH ESG. 
          UM, AND THAT'S HOW IT'S LANGUAGED AND, AND ON MANY OF THE ITEMS. AND, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY IT'S A COUPLE OF MILLION IS IT'S A COUPLE OF MILLION FROM ESG? YES. 
          YES. 
          UM, HERE SHE IS. 
          WHAT CAN I JUST, AND YOU'LL SEE VARIOUS, VARIOUS FUNDING STREAMS FOR HOMELESSNESS. 
          I'M, AND INSTEAD ME TRYING TO READ YOUR HANDWRITING , THAT WAS AN EMERGENCY NURSE. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NOW, UH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. 
          SO UNDER HOMELESSNESS, WE HAVE ABOUT $2.5 MILLION ANNUALLY FROM THE ESG EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT. 
          THAT GOES TO A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT HOMELESS, UM, ACTIVITIES, SPECIFICALLY RAPID REHOUSING AND HOMELESS PREVENTION. 
          AND THEN UNDER THE CDBG ENTITLEMENT GRANT, WE PROBABLY HAVE AROUND MAYBE $500,000, UH, MAYBE LESS THAN THAT, THAT GOES TOWARDS, UM, UH, HOMELESS SERVICES. 
          AND THIS $200,000 SPECIFICALLY IS USED TO LEVERAGE THOSE DOLLARS. 
          SO ITEMS THAT ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE FEDERAL RULES, SUCH AS FOOD OR CLOTHING, THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE THET MONEY COME IN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          NO PROBLEM. 
          AND IF I COULD ADD, WHAT YOU'LL REALLY SEE WITH OUR TURS, UM, IS REALLY AS MELODY SAID, NOT ONLY FOR PUBLIC SERVICES, BUT LEVERAGING OUR OTHER FUNDING SOURCES. 
          DEPENDING ON OUR PROGRAMS, WE COULD HAVE A VARIETY OF THINGS THAT ARE DEEMED INELIGIBLE, UH, TO USE FOR FEDERAL SOURCES, OR EVEN WITH WORKING WITH GLO, THERE'LL BE SOME, SOME, A VARIETY OF COSTS THAT THEY SAY THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE COVERED. 
          AND WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO COVER THOSE COSTS SOME WAY USING LOCAL FUNDS. 
          AND THESE ARE THE LOCAL FUNDS THAT WE'RE USING TO COVER THOSE. 
          OUR FIRST ITEM IS, LET'S SEE WHAT FEDERAL FUNDING SOURCES, FEDERAL OR STATE FUNDING SOURCES WE CAN USE AND SAVE OUR LOCAL DOLLARS, UH, JUST TO HELP SUPPLEMENT AND FILL IN THE GAPS. 
          THANK YOU KINDLY. 
          DOES THAT HELP? OH, DEFINITELY. 
          THANK YOU. 
          THIS IS THE ANNUAL ALLOCATION, CORRECT? THIS IS THE ANNUAL ALLOCATION. 
          THIS IS NOT THE, UH, TURS AFFORDABLE HOUSING BOND. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, THAT IS USED FOR SINGLE FAMILY ACTIVITIES. 
          CORRECT. 
          AND SO BECAUSE SINGLE FAMILY WILL BE UTILIZING OVER THE NEXT YEAR WILL BE UTILIZING, UH, THAT TO FULFILL ITS PROGRAMMING NEEDS, WHAT WE'RE DOING IS LEVERAGING FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO COVER THE THINGS THAT OUR FEDERAL FUNDING SOURCES WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO COVER, OR THOSE THAT ARE DEEMED INELIGIBLE OR DISALLOWED. 
          THANK YOU KIND. 
          NOPE, THAT'S FINE. 
          CONTINUE, CONTINUE TO, TO STEW ON THAT. 
          AND THEN LET ME KNOW WHAT QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. 
          NO QUESTION. 
          OKAY.

          COME ON, DOUG, COME ON DOWN. 
          YEAH, I'M GONNA SAY THAT , UH, ONE OF THE REASONS I CAME TODAY WAS BECAUSE KEITH PROMISED ME LAST WEEK HE WOULD HAVE THE LATEST ANNUAL REPORT. 
          HE COMPLIED AND THERE IT IS. 
          AND ONCE I LOOKED THROUGH IT, I MAY HAVE A LOT MORE QUESTIONS FOR YOU, . 
          WELL, WE APPRECIATE THAT AND I'M GLAD THEY WERE ABLE TO DELIVER TO YOU, UM, DELIVER FOR YOU AND JUST FOR, UH, PUBLIC AWARENESS, THE HOUSING DEPARTMENT PRODUCES AN ANNUAL REPORT, SO YOU'RE ABLE TO POINT TO, UM, ALL OF THE ITEMS THAT WE TALK ABOUT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, UH, TERMS, ALLOCATIONS, DISASTER RECOVERY, ALL OF THAT.

          THANK YOU, DOUG. 
          BUT I HAD ANOTHER COMMENT AS WELL. 
          UH, I MADE A COMMENT AT THE LAST MEETING THAT I WAS VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE, UH, THE CITY HAD TO RETURN $60 MILLION, UH, OF FUNDS TO THE STATE. 
          AND IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THAT, UH, THEY HAD TO LAY OFF 40 PEOPLE. 
          AND I WAS VERY CONCERNED. 
          I THOUGHT, WHAT WERE 40 PEOPLE DOING? I READ THIS IN THE CHRONICLE THE DAY OF THE MEETING AND I TALKED TO KEITH AND TAMIKA AFTER THE MEETING AND IT TURNS OUT THE CHRONICLE WAS WRONG, AS I HAVE FOUND THE OFTEN ARE UNFOR. 
          FORTUNATELY IT WAS ONLY 15 PEOPLE, UH, THAT WERE LAID OFF AND I WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT, UH, BECAUSE I MADE A PUBLIC COMMENT THAT WAS IN ERROR BECAUSE OF FALSE INFORMATION. 
          AND THAT'S THE MAIN REASON I CAME TODAY. 
          AND WELL, WE APPRECIATE YOU, DOUG, FOR COMING DOWN HERE, CLEANING IT UP. 
          THANKS DOUG FOR SHOWING US SOME LOVE. 
          AND LEMME JUST GO AHEAD. 
          ONE MORE THING TOO. 
          SURE. 
          IT'S GOOD TO SEE TOURS, FUNDS USED FOR PROJECTS OUTSIDE THE TOUR AREA BECAUSE I HAVE SAID BEFORE AT MEETINGS, SOME OF THE TOURS LOOK TO ME LIKE, UH, THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR SUFFER. 
          AND THIS MONEY, $13 MILLION IS GOING TO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CAUSES. 
          AND IT'S VERY GOOD TO SEE THAT. 
          SO. 
          WELL, WE APPRECIATE THAT. 
          WE'RE GONNA CUT THIS CLIP AND LOOP IT ON HTV REPEATEDLY.
