UM I THINK COUNCIL AGREED TO TAKE. UH, KAREN.
TO MAKE SURE I'M SEEING EVERYONE I DON'T SEE HER ON YET BUT WHEN SHE GOES ON I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE HER. UM, OKAY. I'M GOING TO WAIVE THE OPENING
REMARKS FOR TODAY JUST BECAUSE I WISH WE COULD GO STRAIGHT TO THE PRESENTATION. AND NOW I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE TODAY'S PANELIST. UM, WE HAVE RICK WILSON WHO'S A DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE. WE HAVE CHRISTINE O'KEEFE,
DIRECTOR OF NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING DEVELOPMENT KATIE CAHILL HOLLOWAY, WHO'S DIRECTOR OF SUPPORTIVE HOUSING DANIEL JOHNSON, DIRECTOR FOR THE
OFFICE OF HOUSING STABILITY IS UH, CHRISTINE MCCRARY, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR HOMES FOR WE HAVE DONALD WRIGHT, INTERIM CHIEF OF THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY INCLUSION.
ALISA FAUSTINO DIRECTOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND I BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE KATIE GAO AS WELL DIRECTOR OF WORKFORCE GRANT MAKING. SO WITH THAT I WANT TO PASS IT
OVER TO UM TODAY'S PANELIST. THANK YOU. COUNCILORS. OKAY, SO RYAN, I'M SHARING MY SCREEN RIGHT. YES. >> THAT WORKS.
ALL RIGHT. THAT WORK THINK WORKED. OKAY. UH GOOD MORNING COUNCILORS. UM, FOR THE RECORD, MY NAME IS,
UH, RICK WILSON AND I'M THE DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION AND FINANCE AT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF HOUSING. UM, I'M JOINED TODAY BY SENIOR STAFF FROM MO H AS WELL AS, UM,
UH, INTERIM CHIEF DONALD WRIGHT FROM THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND INCLUSION. UM, AND AND OTHER SENIOR STAFF FROM THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC ACTION INCLUSION AND THE OFFICE OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. WE'RE HERE TODAY TO REQUEST
APPROVAL TO ACCEPT AND EXPAND OUR ANNUAL GRANTS FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT OR HUD, UM, FOR THE UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR.
TODAY'S HEARING COVERS UH, FUNDING FROM FIVE HUD PROGRAMS. OUR FOUR ENTITLEMENT GRANTS, OUR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, MY BETS AND PARTNERSHIPS INITIATIVE, HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR PERSONS WITH
AIDS EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT UH AND AND THE CONTINUUM OF CARE PROGRAM. UM COMBINED THESE GRANTS TOTAL OVER $79 MILLION WHICH WILL PRIMARILY BE USED DURING THE CITY'S UPCOMING FISCAL YEAR
2027. UM, AS YOU WILL HEAR, THESE ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SOURCES OF FUNDING FOR THE CITY THAT SUPPORT, UH, A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS FOR LOW AND MODERATE INCOME BOSTONIANS, UM ,AND FORMERLY HOMELESS
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. IT'S A SCREEN SHARING WORKING STILL THUMBS UP. LOOKS LIKE IT'S OKAY. UH, SO FIRST I'LL TALK ABOUT
OUR, UH, HUD ENTITLEMENT GRANTS AT HOME HARBOR AND ESG. UM, THESE GRANTS, UH, ARE DETERMINED BY STATUTORY FORMULAS. UH, BASED ON FACTORS LIKE POPULATION, AGE OF HOUSING,
EXTENSIVE POVERTY AND HOUSING OVERCROWDING. UM, THE FUNDING ALLOCATIONS FOR EACH JURISDICTION DEPENDS ON THE TOTAL OF FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR THE ACROSS THE NATION. UM THESE FORMULA INPUTS AS WELL AS THE NUMBER OF JURISDICTIONS
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING. UM IN OTHER WORDS, THE MORE JURISDICTIONS ARE ELIGIBLE THE LESS FUNDING EACH JURISDICTION RECEIVES. UM AND THAT IS A TREND THAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING FROM SEEING FOR MANY YEARS. UM, LUCKILY, UH THE
APPROPRIATIONS ACT PASSED BY CONGRESS EARLIER THIS YEAR REJECTED UM, SOME OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSALS TO TO SLASH FUNDING FOR THESE PROGRAMS. UM AND PROVIDED UH CLOSE TO LEVEL FUNDING FOR THESE GRANTS
FOR FOR FY 26. SO HERE ARE OUR 26 ALLOCATIONS UH FOR CDBG AND HOME. UH, WE THINK WE'RE SEEING SMALL DECREASES OF ABOUT $100,000 EACH.
UM, WHILE HAVE. OUR HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES IN PERSONS WITH AIDS IS INCREASING BY OVER $200,000 AND ESG IS DECLINING SLIGHTLY BY $21,000. SO OUR TOTAL ALLOCATION IS
ESSENTIALLY LEVEL AT UH JUST OVER $27 MILLION. UM OR 0.17% LESS THAN LAST YEAR. UM I WILL POINT OUT THAT THESE UH, GRANTS HAVE BASICALLY BEEN FLAT OR EVEN DECLINING FOR MANY
YEARS. UM, AND AS COSTS AS WE KNOW COSTS ARE INCREASING AND THAT MEANS THAT WE CAN DO LESS AND LESS UH, WITH OUR HUD FUNDING.
I'LL START BY I'LL DIVE INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL FOR EACH OF THESE SOURCES. SO STARTING WITH CDBG OUR FY 27 CDBG ALLOCATION IS $16.8 MILLION.
UM MO IS THE PRIMARY ADMINISTERING AGENCY FOR THESE FUNDS. UM BUT WE DO SUB GRANT A PORTION OF THEM TO UH OH WE APPLY FOR SMALL BUSINESS ASSISTANCE UM FOR TO WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT FOR JOB TRAINING
AND READINESS PROGRAMS. UM AND TO THE OFFICE OF FAIR HOUSING AND EQUITY FOR INVESTIGATION ACTIVITY UH BREMBO WE USE OUR CDBG FUNDING FOR UH FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER ASSISTANCE, HOME REPAIR
PROGRAMS, ACQUISITION AND PRESERVATION OF AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING, UM AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY GARDENS AND OPEN SPACE, UH, THROUGH THE GRASSROOTS PROGRAM.
UH NEXT WE HAVE HOME AND OUR FY 27 HOME ALLOCATION IS $4.8 MILLION. UM AND WE USE THIS ENTIRELY TO FUND, UH, THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING. UM, HOME FUNDS MUST BE USED FOR
HOUSEHOLDS AT OR BELOW 80% OF MI. UM BUT 90% OF THE UNITS FUNDED WITH HOME UM HAVE TO SUPPORT HOUSEHOLDS. UH UP TO 60% AMI.
UM FOR HAPA. OUR 27 ALLOCATION OF $3.9 MILLION. UM MOST IS THE ADMINISTERING AGENCY FOR ARPA FOR ALL OF NORFOLK, PLYMOUTH AND SUFFOLK COUNTIES. UM WE USE SOFTWARE FOR TENANT
BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE, SHORT TERM MORTGAGE RENT, UTILITY ASSISTANCE, HOUSING COUNSELING AND PERMANENT HOUSING PLACEMENT FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV AIDS .
AND OUR LAST, UH, ENTITLEMENT GRANT IS ESG. UM, IT'S OUR SMALLEST 11. $5 MILLION IS OUR ALLOCATION FOR FY 27. UM, WHICH WE USE TO FUND STREET OUTREACH AND HOMELESSNESS
PREVENTION ACTIVITY. SO THOSE ARE OUR FOUR ENTITLEMENT GRANTS. UH, NEXT I'LL TALK ABOUT OUR LARGEST HUD GRANT, WHICH IS UH, THE CONTINUUM OF CARE PROGRAM. THIS IS ACTUALLY A NUMBER
OF DIFFERENT GRANTS BUT IT'S ALL THROUGH THE SAME PROGRAM. IT'S A COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM. UM, FOCUSED ON HOMELESSNESS. UM, OUR IF YOU ADD UP ALL THOSE AWARDS FOR UH FOR THE UPCOMING
YEAR, IT'S ABOUT $52 MILLION. UM MO ADMINISTERS THE CRC FUNDS FOR THE CITY OF BOSTON, BUT THE VAST MAJORITY 94% ARE PASSED THROUGH TO 18 DIFFERENT NONPROFIT HOUSING AND SERVICE
PROVIDERS. UM, AS SHOWN HERE. UH, YOU'LL SEE THAT UH, IN THE CITY OF BOSTON, 90% OF OUR CRC FUNDS UM SUPPORT PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND RAPID
REHOUSING PROGRAMS. UM, FOR NEARLY 2000 HOMELESS FORMERLY HOMELESS HOUSEHOLDS. UH, WE BELIEVE IN HOUSING FIRST. UM, THE TARGETED POPULATIONS FOR THIS FUNDING INCLUDE, UH, CHRONICALLY HOMELESS
INDIVIDUALS, INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES, MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS, VETERANS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS, YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULTS. WE ALSO USE CSC FUNDS FOR OUR HUD MANDATED HOMELESS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
OR AGENCIES. UM COORDINATED ENTRY AND HOUSING NAVIGATION. I'LL JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO UM JUST PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON UH, OUR CRC FUNDING OVERALL.
UH, AS UM YOU PROBABLY KNOW, COUNCILORS LAST YEAR, UH, HAD ATTEMPTED TO REORIENT THE CSC PROGRAM, UH, AWAY FROM HOUSING FIRST, AWAY FROM PERMANENT HOUSING AND TOWARDS SHELTER, TRANSITIONAL HOUSING TREATMENT
AND WORK REQUIREMENTS. UM, YOU SHOULD KNOW FOR OUR AT THE END OF LAST YEAR THAT UM, PRIORITIZED THOSE UH, PROGRAMS OVER UH, PERMANENT HOUSING. UH, THOSE CHANGES WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF HUNDREDS OF PERMANENT
HOUSING UNITS IN BOSTON AND WOULD HAVE JEOPARDIZED HOUSING, UH, FOR MANY VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. UM, THANKFULLY WE ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN COURT
AND IN CONGRESS. UH, FEEDING BACK THOSE CHANGES AND HOW HUD IS IN THE PROCESS OF RENEWING ALL OF OUR UH, CFC GRANTS FOR FOR FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR AND FOR THE NEXT FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. UH, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
SHOWING HERE AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE VOTING ON. SO THAT'S WHAT YOUR WHAT THIS HEARING IS UH, ABOUT TODAY. UM, HOWEVER HUD DID JUST RELEASED THEIR 2026 UM CSC 2026 NOVO.
UH AND AS WE EXPECTED IT THEY ARE ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE CHANGES. IT'S NOT QUITE AS BAD AS THE NO FOR WHAT THEY RELEASED LAST YEAR. UM BUT WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THAT RIGHT NOW AND I'M WORKING
WITH OUR PROVIDER PARTNERS AND WITH THE STATE UM, AND OUR LAWYERS UH, TO UH, REVIEW THAT NOVO. UH, AND AND TAKE ACTION.
SO THAT COVERS ALL OF THE HUD UH, GRANTS BEFORE YOU TODAY. I DID WANT TO JUST QUICKLY, UH, HIGHLIGHT WHAT WE INTEND TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THESE FUNDS. UM, AS I MENTIONED, THEY SUPPORT A BROAD, YOU KNOW, A BROAD RANGE OF IMPACTFUL PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.
UM, THE TARGETS THAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE ARE JUST FOR OUR HUD FUNDS. THEY DON'T INCLUDE, UH, YOU KNOW, CITY OPERATING INCLUSIONARY DEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSING TRUST OR OUR COMMUNITY PRESERVATION ACT. UM. >> I 27 UH WITH OUR HUD
FUNDING, WE ARE PLANNING TO CREATE 750 INCOME RESTRICTED UM, HOUSING UNITS. UH, PROVIDE DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE TO 115 FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS. UM HELP.
230 HOMEOWNERS WITH HOME REPAIRS PROVIDE HOMEBUYER EDUCATION AND FORECLOSURE PREVENTION TO OVER 1600 INDIVIDUALS. HELP 2000 FORMERLY HOMELESS HOUSEHOLDS WITH PERMANENT HOUSING AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES

OPPORTUNITY AND INCLUSION IS PLANNING TO HELP 1700 BUSINESSES WITH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, STOREFRONT IMPROVEMENTS AND SMALL BUSINESS LOANS. UH WE WILL PROVIDE JOB TRAINING AND READINESS PROGRAMS TO OVER 2000 INDIVIDUALS.
UM AND FINALLY THROUGH THE GRASS ROOTS PROGRAM WILL HELP. WILL HELP. CREATE OR EXPAND SIX COMMUNITY GARDENS OR OPEN SPACE PROJECTS .

AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REALLY BENEFIT FROM A LOT OF THESE GRANTS, SO THANK YOU. UH, I WANT TO ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVE BEEN JOINED BY COUNCILOR LOUIJEUNE AND I BELIEVE THAT COUNCILOR FLYNN IS
ALSO LISTENING. AND SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. UM, I'M GOING TO DIVE RIGHT INTO QUESTIONS IN CASE MY COLLEAGUES DO HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE GRANTS OR IF THEY
WANT TO FIND MORE. UM, STARTING WITH COUNCILOR MURPHY I'M GOING TO BE FLEXIBLE WITH TIME. UM, I DON'T ABUSE IT. BUT YOU KNOW, IF IF YOU NEED FIVE, SEVEN MINUTES, I'LL BE OKAY WITH THAT. AND, UM, JUST LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED MORE TIME.
SO COUNCILOR MURPHY, THE FLOOR IS YOURS. OR IF YOU.
OKAY. I'LL COUNCIL MURPHY, CAN YOU HEAR US? I'LL COME RIGHT BACK TO MURPHY
. UM, COUNCILOR LOUIJEUNE, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. YEAH. GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION. UM, I JUST HAD A QUESTION AND I WAS, UM. I'VE BEEN ON DOUBLE DUTY AND I
JOINED A BIT LATE. UM, OBVIOUSLY THESE THESE GRANTS ARE SUPER CRITICAL AND I WILL BE VERY ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTING THEM. I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE HARD WORK THAT YOU DO TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS
HOUSED IN OUR CITY. AS MANY OF US SAY, HOUSING IS A BASIC RIGHT AND EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO IT. UM I JUST HAD A QUESTION. I THINK THE QUESTION WILL BE FOR RICK OR I'M NOT SURE WHO CAN ANSWER IT ON THE CALL BUT
UM, I KNOW THAT A PORTION OF THIS GRANT THAT THESE GRANTS IS FOR THE CONTINUED IT IS FOR THE CONTINUUM OF CARE AND I'M WONDERING I KNOW THAT THERE WAS AN ONGOING LAWSUIT, UH, CHALLENGING THE
ADMINISTRATION'S TERMINATION OF THE CONTINUUM OF CARE GRANT. SO I JUST WANTED TO SORT OF KNOW HOW THAT LAWSUIT INTERACTS WITH ACCEPTING THESE GRANTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEFORE US. YEAH, I'M HAPPY TO UH I.
>> CAN I CAN GET STARTED IF NECESSARY. UM, KATIE HOLLOWAY WHO IS UH, THESE ARE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING DIVISION AND OVERSEES THE CSC FUNDING CAN CAN JUMP IN IF NECESSARY, BUT. UM, YES, WE, UH, LAST YEAR, UM
UH, WELL. WE'RE INVOLVED IN A FEW LAWSUITS UH. AGAINST AGAINST HARD RIGHT NOW. . >> UM, ONE. SHOULD BE YEAH. UM, ONE HAS TO DO. WITH, UH, SOME TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT WERE ADDED TO OUR HUD GRANTS.
UH, NOT JUST. >> OUR GRANTS BUT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, UM, TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT WERE ADDED TO HUD GRANTS BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION AROUND UM YOU KNOW WHAT QUOTE UNQUOTE. DEI ACTIVITIES. >> OR GENDER IDEOLOGY THINGS LIKE THAT AND. UM.
>> REQUIRING JURISDICTIONS TO CERTIFY THAT THEY WOULD NOT ENGAGE IN ANY OF THOSE ACTIVITIES. THERE WERE OTHER CONDITIONS AS WELL. UH. >> WE ALONG. WITH UH A NUMBER OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS FILED SUIT IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, UM, TO
AND WERE SUCCESSFUL AT GETTING A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AGAINST THOSE THOSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. SO THAT DEFINITELY MORE INJUNCTION IS STILL IN PLACE IF WE ARE. ABLE TO ACCESS OUR. FUNDS WITHOUT HAVING TO SIGN ON TO THOSE CONDITIONS. UH, WHICH IS GREAT.
UH, AND THEN I THINK THE ONE THAT YOU'RE PROBABLY MORE UH SPECIFICALLY. REFERRING TO IS THEIR CASE IN RHODE ISLAND. UM. >> THAT HAS TO DO WITH UH, THE THE NO FOR THE NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY THAT. HUD PUT OUT LAST YEAR WHERE. THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT
THE PRIORITY FOR CFC FUNDING AWAY FROM HOUSING FIRST, AWAY FROM PERMANENT HOUSING. UM TOWARDS. UH TREATMENT AND SHELTER AND STREET KNOWN ENCAMPMENTS UM AND WORK REQUIREMENTS. UM AND.
AGAIN WE WERE SUCCESSFUL AT. PICKING UP WITH ANOTHER AND ANOTHER A NUMBER OF OTHER. JURISDICTIONS AND THE THE UM NATIONAL ALLIANCE TO END HOMELESSNESS. UM, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL AT. WINNING A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION IN THAT CASE AS WELL . UM. >> THAT PROHIBITED HUD FROM
IMPLEMENTING THAT THAT NO FOE. UM WE ALSO. ADVOCATED IN CONGRESS WITH. OTHER JURISDICTIONS AND CONGRESS. INCLUDED LANGUAGE IN THEIR. APPROPRIATIONS ACT THAT. PREVENTED HUD FROM DOING SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO DO. SO THEY PULLED BACK. >> THAT.
NOVO AND THE GRANTS THAT UM, YOU'RE. HEARING ABOUT TODAY THE CSC GRANTS FOR BY. 25, UM, ARE ALL JUST RENEWAL. >> OF GRANTS THAT WE THEY HUD. AT THIS POINT. UM, THANKS. >> TO THE LAWSUIT AND THANKS TO THE CONGRESSIONAL ACTION. HUD IS JUST. RENEWING ALL OF.
OUR ALL OF OUR CFC. 25 GRANTS THAT WE WERE ABLE TO RETAIN ALL OF OUR PERMANENT HOUSING. UH, WITH THESE FUNDS. UM, SO THAT'S. >> WHAT'S. IN. FRONT OF. >> YOU RIGHT NOW. NOW HUD DID JUST UH I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS LAST. WEEK OR THE WEEK BEFORE JUST.
ISSUED THEIR NO VOTE FOR THE FOLLOWING. YEAR WHERE. THEY ARE ONCE AGAIN ATTEMPTING TO DO, YOU KNOW, PUT IN PLACE SOME OF THESE CHANGES. UM. >> DECREASING THE PRIORITY OR OFFER FOR PERMANENT HOUSING. UH, IT'S NOT QUITE AS BAD AS WHAT THEY TRIED TO DO.
>> LAST YEAR. I THINK CONGRESS PUT SOME PARAMETERS IN THEIR APPROPRIATIONS ACT, UH. THAT THAT LIMITS WHAT I CAN DO. >> BUT. IT STILL HAS SOME PROBLEMATIC, UH, LANGUAGE. >> WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT RIGHT NOW. WE'RE TALKING TO OTHER JURISDICTIONS. WE'RE TALKING TO THE LAW
DEPARTMENT AROUND THAT NOVO. BUT WHAT'S IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY. UM, IS THANKFULLY. UH IS IS WE'RE ABLE TO RENEW ALL OF OUR CAC GRANTS, ALL OF THAT PERMANENT HOUSING, UM, WITH THE FUNDS THAT THAT ARE IN
FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW AND KATIE, I'M NOT SURE IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD. I THINK I COVERED IT. NOW. >> I THINK YOU COVERED IT WELL, RICK I THINK THE ONLY THING I WOULD SAY IS CRC 25 AS RICK
SAID IS BEING NON COMPETITIVELY RENEWED. UM AND THE REASON THAT HUD IS ABLE TO DO THAT IS BECAUSE IN COC 24 THEY ACTUALLY RELEASED A
TWO YEAR NOVO AND SO IN THE PRIOR ADMINISTRATION THE INTENTION HAD BEEN THAT THEY WOULD NON COMPETITIVELY RENEW COC 25 BASED ON PERFORMANCE IN COC 24.
UM THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TRIED TO SORT OF UPEND THAT BY RELEASING TWO NO FROZEN COC 25 TO TRY TO IMPLEMENT THE CHANGES THAT RICK DESCRIBED. BUT UH, THANKFULLY THROUGH THAT
COURT ACTION HUD WITHDREW THOSE NO OPPOSE AND THEN REVERTED TO THE NONCOMPETITIVE RENEWAL OF COC 25. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE AND UM, THANK YOU FOR THAT UPDATE IN THE LAWSUIT. IT'S A PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION SO THE LAWSUIT IS STILL
ONGOING. IS THAT CORRECT? I THINK. >> IT TECHNICALLY. >> IS, BUT I THINK AT. THIS POINT IT'S PROBABLY ESSENTIALLY MOOT BECAUSE. IF WE RENEW OUR FUNDING. YEAH. >> OKAY, GREAT. AND THEN, UH, I THINK THIS IS
MY LAST QUESTION IS ARE ANY OF THESE GRANTS HELPING US HOUSED, UM, VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR ANY OF THESE UH, DO WE USE ANY OF THE FUNDING FROM THESE GRANTS OUT THOSE UM, WHO
ARE IN SEARCH OF HOUSING UH, AS A RESULT OF, UH, INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SEXUAL ASSAULT? YES. >> WE HAVE SEVERAL GRANTS IN THE PORTFOLIO THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY, UM, TARGETED TO
SUPPORT PEOPLE THAT ARE SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND OTHER FORMS OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE, GENDER BASED VIOLENCE. UM, THOSE ARE SPONSORED. UM, THERE'S A MIX OF PROVIDERS IN THEM.
SOME ARE CERTIFIED AS VICTIM SERVICE PROVIDERS OR PROVIDERS LIKE CUSTOMER AND UH UM THEY SPONSOR A COUPLE OF THEM AND THEN WE HAVE. OTHER PROVIDERS LIKE JUSTICE FOR HOUSING. THEY'RE NOT A VICTIM SERVICE
PROVIDER BUT THEY DO HAVE UH UM SPECIALIZED SERVICES TO SUCCESSFULLY SERVE THIS POPULATION. SO UH, WITHIN THE PORTFOLIO I. >> THINK. WE PROBABLY HAVE LIKE 4 OR 5 GRANTS THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY TARGETED TO THAT POPULATION.
THANK YOU TO THE CHAIR. UM, I'D LOVE IT IF I COULD GET INFORMATION MORE LIKE JUST IN WRITING ABOUT THE GRANTS THAT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF HOUSING USES OR JUST THE FINANCIAL NUMBERS BEHIND, UH, HOUSING
SUPPORTS THAT WE PROVIDE FOR FOLKS WHO ARE VICTIMS OF INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE OR SEXUAL OR UH, OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE OR DO THEY SHARE IF I COULD GET THAT INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU.
I THINK THOSE ARE MY QUESTION. I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE ON THE CALL FOR THE INCREDIBLE WORK THAT YOU DO FOR OUR MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS. UM. >> DANIEL JOHNSON FOR THE INCREDIBLE WORK THAT YOU DO IN AFTER THE HOUSING STABILITY CHIEF RIGHT TO THE THE IMPORTANT OVERLAP BETWEEN, YOU
KNOW, ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITY AND HOUSING AND ALICIA AND FOR ALL THAT YOU DO TO SUPPORT OUR SMALL BUSINESSES AND EVERYONE CHRISTINE O'KEEFE EVERYONE ON THIS CALL I'M JUST REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THE WORK THAT YOU'RE DOING. YOU BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE DESERVES A PLACE TO CALL HOME.
THANK YOU. I THANK YOU GUYS. I DID WANT TO STEP IN, COUNSELOR. I JUST I. >> DON'T I GET IN. >> TROUBLE WITH THE LAWYERS AND TAKE BACK MY COMMENT ABOUT THE LAWSUIT BEING MOVED. WE ARE STILL. >> IN THE PROCESS. OF GETTING OUR GRANT AGREEMENTS FROM FROM HUD FOR OUR CAC 25 GRANT.
SO EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE IN PROCESS BUT THE LAWSUIT IS VERY . IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY WE ACTUALLY. HAVEN'T DON'T HAVE SIGNED GRANT AGREEMENTS YET HOW TO KEEP SAYING THAT THEY'RE WORKING ON THEM AND WE'RE SURE THAT THEY WILL BUT THEY WILL COME UM BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THAT
THAT THE LAWSUIT IS STILL IN PLACE SO THAT WE CAN UM, PUT PRESSURE ON HOW TO ACTUALLY DELIVER THOSE THOSE GRANT AGREEMENTS AND MAKE SURE WE CAN ACCESS OUR FUNDING. OKAY. >> THANK YOU. GOOD TO KNOW WHATEVER THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO DO I REMEMBER THAT STARTED UH, LAST YEAR.
