00:03:32
Thank you.
SPEAKER_06
00:07:42
All right, we can
00:08:03
call tonight's meeting to order.
SPEAKER_02
00:08:05
May I have a roll call of commissioners, please?

00:08:15
Commissioner Payne?
00:08:16
Here.
00:08:17
We have a quorum.
00:08:18
All right.
00:08:19
I'm going to take a moment of silence.
00:08:29
OK.
00:08:33
General announcements, meeting dates, and reminders.
00:08:40
Sorry, we have a board work session on November 12th at 6 p.m. We also have a board retreat on Saturday, November 14th from 9 to 12.
00:08:51
The next regular board meeting will be Monday, November 23rd at 6 p.m. Redevelopment Committee every first Thursday from 3 to 4, Safety Committee every third Wednesday from 12 to 1, and then Resident Services Committee quarterly on the second Tuesday of the month at 1 o'clock.
SPEAKER_07
00:09:15
And what's the next one?
00:09:17
Next, Resident Service.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:09:22
Okay.
SPEAKER_06
00:09:41
Just general updates from commissioners.
00:09:47
Any discussion?
00:09:50
I did send out a tracker for some items that we are delivering.
00:09:56
I say we, John's doing all the work, but I'm tracking John's doing the work.
00:10:04
So we have some work in flight there and we will review that.
00:10:09
That is one of the agenda items for our board retreat.
00:10:13
Other items is to go back to the updates on our bylaws and then also review our committee assignments.
00:10:23
Other stuff folks would like to discuss?
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:10:28
Just for topics for the upcoming retreat if there was interest in the board and kind of at that retreat just fully discussing standing up the finance committee as well as getting CCDC update and then having a board meeting of the CCDC just
00:10:53
get fully up to date since it's been a while since it's a ritual creation.
00:10:58
If folks thought those would both be good topics for the retreat.
SPEAKER_06
00:11:04
Yes, I think that's a good idea.
00:11:07
John and I also talked about just explicitly having a quarterly
00:11:13
board meeting for CCDC and alternating with the nonprofit since that will be functional next year.
00:11:23
The other thing I think CCDC has been active.
00:11:32
We've passed resolution.
00:11:34
This board here has passed resolutions that involve CCDC.
00:11:40
Breaking it out and being more explicit when we're switching between the two will help clarify some of the confusion around that.
00:11:52
Because it's really, it's there, we're just not switching between them, I guess is the right word.
00:12:02
So I think we have an opportunity there.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:12:05
Right.
00:12:06
And that makes sense to me.
00:12:08
And again, I would definitely like for us to stand up the finance committee and then with a CCDC board meeting just be able to clean up some of the founding documents and get formal reports.
00:12:22
Because as you said, it's been there, but it's just, again, it's one of those things, at least for myself, where
SPEAKER_06
00:12:32
I was able to confirm that when it was it was formed before any of us under Grant and actually Riverbend formed
00:12:49
the escort on our behalf.
00:12:52
None of us were here, so we don't know why they did that, but I confirmed that with Delphine today.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:13:02
Which again is why I just think a refresher and update would be valuable.
SPEAKER_06
00:13:09
We have it on the list of all the things.
00:13:12
So just clarification on what it is, how long it's been there, how we use it, where we see it pop up.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:13:20
We wanted to let Delphine do that presentation on the CCDC, correct?
00:13:26
Yeah.
00:13:26
So Delphine, are you available on November 14th?
00:13:31
The 12th or the 14th?
SPEAKER_05
00:13:33
Oh, either one.
SPEAKER_04
00:13:38
I'll have to look.
00:13:40
Are you talking about a presentation at that retreat on that Saturday morning?
00:13:45
Because I'm not sure if I can make that date.
00:13:49
I'll have to check.
00:13:50
But if not, we could definitely provide some information that could be included in a regular meeting board packet and go over it at the board meeting.
00:14:01
And I can get with John ahead of that to make sure we have complete information.
SPEAKER_06
00:14:06
Okay, we also have a work session on November 12th, Delphine.
00:14:12
That would be fine.
SPEAKER_04
00:14:16
That's a Thursday, right?
00:14:17
Yes, Thursday, November 12th at 6 p.m. That would be fine.
00:14:22
I'm happy to do that and between now and then I have sufficient time to coordinate with John.
SPEAKER_06
00:14:27
Great.
00:14:28
Thank you, appreciate that.
00:14:35
Okay, any other things we want to discuss before we open it up for public comment?
SPEAKER_05
00:14:44
I guess I have one thing which is I think all of us could do a little bit better on adhering to FOIA around emails and so I think we are all guilty but just a reminder on that front to not have everybody on the list or not have more than
SPEAKER_06
00:15:06
Just to email one person at a time.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:15:09
I'll follow up with you Delphine because the city's guidance for our boards is that they can email amongst all each other but no decisions can be made, no decisions about an allocation.
00:15:20
People can electronically be in a shared document or something.
SPEAKER_04
00:15:26
No, and I have to be very firm on that because other housing authorities are getting in trouble for exactly that reason.
00:15:34
So the guidance that I provided to you again today, which I provided to all of you previously during trainings,
00:15:42
in the past multiple times is accurate and ask that you not email each other to discuss CRHA business please.
00:15:50
It is different if a member of CRHA staff sends information by email to the entire board, but you should not reply all and you should not discuss CRHA business by email.
SPEAKER_05
00:16:07
Thanks, Sophine.
SPEAKER_06
00:16:13
Okay, I will now open it up for public comment.
SPEAKER_03
00:16:35
Ms. Wilcox.
00:16:35
Good evening, my name is Annette Wilcox.
00:16:39
I'm concerned about the trick or treat, if the trick or treating in the afternoon is at present, is for anybody of any age for kids?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:17:02
It's for everyone.
00:17:04
It's for everyone.
00:17:07
Ms. Wilcox, it's for everyone, so we're going to stop at Crescent Halls.
SPEAKER_03
00:17:11
And can they leave and go home whenever they'd like to?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:17:16
Yes.
SPEAKER_03
00:17:17
And just around Crescent Halls.
00:17:23
Yes.
00:17:24
Because I'm thinking about showing off my pumpkin face with the cutest eye.
00:17:31
I'm going over, I'm going over.
00:17:33
And I am concerned about if there's going to be a housing authority public meeting the 23rd of November.
SPEAKER_06
00:17:48
It's currently scheduled.
00:17:53
We have not made any decisions about that meeting yet.
00:17:57
I know that's the week of Thanksgiving.
00:17:59
We have not.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:18:00
Yeah, typically the one, the week of Christmas gets Council, but not the, sometimes we have a Thanksgiving one.
00:18:09
And so I think right now we're currently planning to have it.
SPEAKER_03
00:18:12
Yes.
00:18:14
We've got to try to go trick or treating in the daytime.
00:18:19
Nice.
SPEAKER_06
00:18:22
All right, I don't see any anyone from PHAR or anyone, any other of the public.
00:18:33
Okay, next step is approval of the board minutes from September 28th.
SPEAKER_05
00:18:38
I just couldn't remember if you were, did you come in at the end, Brigid?
SPEAKER_06
00:18:47
That was the day I was taking pictures.
SPEAKER_05
00:18:53
By the time I made it, it was over.
00:18:56
There's just two eyes that have Brigid on it.
00:19:02
so I just wasn't sure if that was accurate, but it was also after.
00:19:06
So I should be marked as absent.
00:19:08
Yeah.
SPEAKER_06
00:19:09
And then.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:19:09
And I did come in late, 10 minutes late.
00:19:13
Yeah.
00:19:14
So it was present but not.
SPEAKER_05
00:19:16
But you were, yeah, I mean, you were absent for the book.
00:19:18
Correct.
SPEAKER_06
00:19:19
It looks like I'm not marked as absent on all the books.
SPEAKER_05
00:19:21
Except on the last page.
00:19:23
Oh, gotcha.
SPEAKER_06
00:19:23
You were there for this.
00:19:25
Oh, were you?
00:19:25
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_05
00:19:25
That's what, yeah, I was gonna remember if you joined on Zoom.
SPEAKER_06
00:19:28
I think I, yes, you're right, right at the end I joined.
SPEAKER_05
00:19:33
That's what I just wanted to clarify that.
00:19:34
Then they look good to me.
SPEAKER_06
00:19:40
Showed up to adjourn, thanks.
SPEAKER_05
00:19:43
Perfect.
00:19:46
So motion to approve.
SPEAKER_02
00:19:50
Second.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:19:50
Was there a name issue?
SPEAKER_05
00:19:53
That was on the resolutions.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:19:55
Oh, okay.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:19:57
Yeah, and would just second the friendly amendment in addition to that, just have the date on the minutes for September.
00:20:03
I don't know if that's a printed packet.
00:20:05
It's right here.
SPEAKER_07
00:20:06
No, you were right.
00:20:07
I had to go in and make the adjustments, so we put the new ones, the new data.
SPEAKER_06
00:20:12
Cool, cool.
00:20:12
Well, I will just second that.
SPEAKER_03
00:20:18
All right.
00:20:19
What time is the trick-or-treating event going to be over?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:20:23
If you give me a second, I can pull the paper.
SPEAKER_02
00:20:27
I'll put it up on the screen just a minute.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:20:29
Okay, Kathleen's gonna take care of that in a second, okay?
SPEAKER_02
00:20:32
I'll put it up on the screen.
00:20:34
What?
00:20:35
I'm gonna put it on the screen when I say no.
SPEAKER_06
00:20:39
Okay, so can we, yeah, focus.
SPEAKER_05
00:20:44
All in favor?
SPEAKER_07
00:20:45
Yes.
SPEAKER_05
00:20:46
All opposed?
SPEAKER_07
00:20:48
Motion passes.
SPEAKER_06
00:20:49
Thank you.
00:20:53
All right.
00:20:58
John, I believe you said we needed to move the payment standard.
00:21:03
We're not going to discuss that today.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:21:05
Yes, we've got an email.
00:21:06
The agenda was already out.
00:21:08
We received an email on Friday letting everyone that housing authorities in the shortfall know that they need to adjust their
00:21:17
And Michael did point out the table is just flopped.
00:21:29
So what says the fair market rent should have been payment standard.
00:21:33
So these two spots on the table.
00:21:35
but we're going to re-evaluate the budget scenario and figure out if we can get to 100% or even if we can get to 90%.
00:21:43
The goal was to try to not adjust the rents
00:21:49
to where they are currently so we didn't create a unnecessary rent burden to the families because the payment standard did adjust downward this year and last year and so where we have tried to stay is steady because when they're looking at our area they're looking at the entire Charlottesville area and so we pull in some lower rent areas where generally our rents in Charlottesville are relatively high
00:22:17
and so even a five bedroom at 3,400 is still low.
00:22:23
And so we're going to try to play with those numbers again.
00:22:27
We are pushing up against the deadline.
00:22:28
We need to have these approved within 90 days.
00:22:32
And so we'll be coming back to you guys really soon with a new recommendation for a payment standard.
SPEAKER_06
00:22:39
Why are they just because why are they why are they doing that?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:22:42
Because they're trying to get us under the shortfall threshold.
00:22:46
If you're in a shortfall now and you're in a carry shortfall next year because your rents will only increase and so they're trying to get control of the spending.
00:22:54
I will say this shortfall is partially caused by HUD when Crescent Halls was being redeveloped
00:23:02
We had the big water catastrophe.
00:23:05
The building was empty.
00:23:06
There was a projection, a lease of schedule for price-based vouchers to start within six months of the project starting.
00:23:14
Of course that didn't happen because the building flooded.
00:23:16
And so it actually took almost two years to actually get residents in.
00:23:21
But HUD gave us that money early.
00:23:23
We didn't spend it because we said, hey HUD,
00:23:25
this money is for Crescent Halls we don't have residents there and so the money just sat there and instead of HUD saying okay we know your vouchers are coming back online what they did was take that money and say hey that's going to be your money for next year and so when housing authorities have an overage your budget next year starts off as what you
00:23:47
had an overage for the year before and so that year we had an overage of 1.5 million because that's how much was projected for Crest Hall to receive in a year and so you then had an overage of 1.5 million that year they then used that 1.5 million to set your budget authority the next year.
00:24:04
and so we argued with them all of last year and the year before because it created a huge shortfall and their answer was we will correct that shortfall when we give you shortfall money but then guess what it just puts you in shortfall the next year and so we will continue arguing with them and fighting with them but that is the reason for that and we are adjusting our payment standards for that.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:24:28
and fully recognizing this is all being caused by the federal government and I think my interpretation is they're just trying to hurt housing authorities across the country and trying to squeeze them financially.
00:24:41
Fully recognizing that kind of what is the impact so far been for us in terms of like the financial impact of the federal government doing that and when we do adjust the payment standards kind of what's the size of kind of the hit to families?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:24:57
So we don't know yet and the families that are currently in the program will not have a hit, will not have an adjustment initially.
00:25:07
So I can't give you a full answer yet because I need to look at how many of the families are actually using the full payment standard because just because that is a payment standard doesn't mean that's what everyone charges.
00:25:19
Like I'll give a good example, Jeremy.
00:25:23
Jeremy doesn't even get close to 50% of the payment standard.
00:25:26
and so it all depends on the landlord and so I need to look at that and then come back and give you an answer on it.
00:25:35
The impact, the shortfall impact overall we're unable to lease up vouchers of course as a big impact itself but then it could have a potential impact down the road for
00:25:47
like redevelopment efforts.
00:25:49
And so you can't project based vouchers or sign a contract while you're in a shortfall.
00:25:54
The good thing is both of our contracts with projects that are underway, the contracts were already signed.
00:25:59
They were signed years ago.
00:26:00
You sign them when you close.
00:26:02
And so those properties have already have contracts signed.
00:26:06
And so there are commitments there and so they're protected.
00:26:09
Where you have issues is your future project.
00:26:11
And so we need to work with HUD to get that under control.
00:26:15
because we'll be looking at Westheaven needing vouchers in three to four years.
00:26:20
And so we'll need to be able to make that commitment.
00:26:23
The good thing is the units that are being converted, they don't count against that.
00:26:27
And so that's new money.
00:26:29
And so as long as you're converting, you won't have that issue.
00:26:31
But when you're using your own authority, which we're doing at South First Street for 55 vouchers and at Sixth Street for 40,
00:26:39
One Vouchers, you do need to use your own authority.
00:26:42
And so that's where we're gonna run into issues.
00:26:44
But like I said, those are protected.
00:26:45
We're working with now to identify them.
00:26:47
in a shortfall plan, so they will still be funded, still be leased up, no issue, but we'll need to get it under control for future years, which is where TC and HCB, we've been talking constantly about how do you adjust that and prepare for that.
00:27:02
So we haven't leased up or issued a voucher in over a year and a half, and we were preparing for that.
00:27:09
Like HUD told us towards the beginning of the year, hey, you're no longer in shortfall,
00:27:14
have at it, go do what you need to do.
00:27:16
And we said, hey, no, we know we have these developments coming online.
00:27:19
We're not leasing up.
00:27:21
And so when HUD told us that we were down in the shortfall, all of a sudden it didn't impact as much because we were already using those same practices, reduced our lease up, try to reduce the amount of folks that are porting.
00:27:32
And we're looking at any fraud opportunities.
00:27:36
We're reaching out to landlords who have tenants who haven't paid rent because maybe they're accepting our larger portion
00:27:44
in attendance not paying well that's still against policy so we got to make sure that they're actually following policy so we're doing a lot of things on our end to try to get that number under control that's also one reason why I didn't recommend HCV reduced to a zero dollar minimum rent because it's something yes it's small but it's something
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:28:05
Right.
00:28:06
So just to make sure I understand, and it's something every housing authority is struggling with again because of the federal government.
00:28:12
So is the impact like we're able to issue fewer vouchers that causes us to get less kind of administrative or other income from them?
00:28:22
And then, did I understand correctly, like a portfolio like Dogwood kind of eases some of the limitation?
00:28:29
Or did I misinterpret that?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:28:32
No, not a portfolio like Dogwood.
00:28:35
a specific landlord saying, yes, I will accept less than fair market rent to house this family.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:28:45
A private landlord.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:28:45
Yes, a private landlord.
00:28:46
So let's say a three bedroom can rent for $2,370.
00:28:50
It's considered appropriate.
00:28:54
Let's say this landlord says, OK, I'm going to rent it to a family for $1,000.
00:28:59
Well, there's a delta on that that we're saving.
00:29:03
On average, we're paying about $1,100 a month per family.
00:29:07
And so if that family were only paying $300 or $400, there's a difference there that then we get to adjust for another voucher.
00:29:16
and so that's what I'm saying those are the big changes that we would need to look at to actually see what is the impact to every resident because it may be a lot less we got to figure out how many are using the total full fair market rents no appreciate that to help me understand it and sounds like just unfortunately it's something we just have to do
00:29:37
Yes, yep, and there's a lot of housing authorities.
00:29:40
Any housing authority that's been in shortfall multiple years received that same email.
00:29:46
I think multiple shortfalls since 2016.
00:29:50
And so a pretty large window to get housing authorities in.
00:29:54
There's a lot of housing authorities right now.
SPEAKER_07
00:29:56
Yeah.
SPEAKER_06
00:30:04
Every time I
00:30:05
I think I'm figuring something out, John, then you say something else that is complicated.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:30:12
I'm sorry, I think sometimes I over-explain things.
SPEAKER_06
00:30:16
No, it's good.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:30:20
It's never like well we have five and five equals it's like yeah it's never that easy it's algebra calculus or something I don't know if it was that easy we would love it because hud says hey you have the voucher capacity of like 650 but this is your dollar amount figure it out
00:30:38
But it never works.
00:30:41
You never get to that full budget authority.
00:30:44
We've been trying.
00:30:45
We've gotten really close.
00:30:46
I think what I got here was like three something.
00:30:48
And so we've gotten all the way up to 600 something.
00:30:51
Right.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:30:52
Well and to that, the voucher utilization rate went up significantly until HUD started doing all this.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:30:59
Yeah because at first our problem was we had a lot of money that we just weren't spending and so every year that dollar amount is what they start off as their base and then they add to it to get to your budget authority.
00:31:13
When they got here we immediately put out all the vouchers.
00:31:17
empty the wait list, we then did it again, and so folks leased up and we moved families in, but now we've gotten to the point where we're like right up there at the max, you're not seeing where we're only spending 70%, we're now spending 105, 110, which is where HUD is like, okay, you're spending too much, slow down.
SPEAKER_06
00:31:43
Okay.
00:31:46
So moving ahead to Resolution 1510 for the utility allowance.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:31:55
Yes, so I will ask you guys to pass this because there are no changes.
00:31:59
A slight change in the resolution at the very bottom.
00:32:02
It says resolve this 26th day of October, 2024.
00:32:06
It should be 2026, but this is the utility allowance broken out for four different types of units.
00:32:14
One exposed wall, which is your typical apartment style, like crescent halls, two exposed walls, three exposed walls,
00:32:25
and four exposed walls, then broken down from a zero bid room all the way up to a five bid room.
00:32:31
These are the same exact utility allowance Virginia Housing uses for our area.
00:32:36
What housing authorities typically will have to do is complete a study to determine the utility allowance, but it also allows you to piggyback off an agency that completes a study.
00:32:46
Virginia Housing runs the largest voucher program in the state, and so we piggyback off of Virginia Housing.
00:32:53
and so we would look to make this effective November 1st, 2026 if the board approves it tonight.
SPEAKER_06
00:33:02
Will you fix my name when...
John Sales
Executive Director
00:33:05
Yes, we will.
SPEAKER_06
00:33:07
It's hard.
00:33:08
This is the hardest name I've had since I've been on this board.
00:33:16
Any questions before we... No.
00:33:20
Okay, can I get a motion to pass?
SPEAKER_05
00:33:23
Motion?
SPEAKER_06
00:33:24
Second.
SPEAKER_07
00:33:26
All in favor?
SPEAKER_06
00:33:27
Yes.
00:33:28
All opposed?
00:33:28
Yes.
00:33:30
Motion passed.
00:33:35
Okay, HCV program manager updates.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:33:39
So I'm going to do this presentation.
00:33:42
The program is holding fairly steady.
00:33:44
as 435 HCD program participants, 32 mainstream, 49 project-based voucher and crescent hauls out of the 52, and so we have three vacancies there.
00:33:57
South First Street has 24.
00:34:00
So all of those units are occupied.
00:34:02
Southwest Street phase two, we'll have 113, but right now we have none there.
00:34:08
Crossings has 16, so we have five vacancies there.
00:34:12
Enhanced, we have three, which are typically families that are coming from a community where the half contract has expired and so you're protecting those families.
00:34:23
And so once those vouchers, those families move out there, those vouchers will go away.
00:34:27
and so they've started to dwindle.
00:34:29
At one point they were up at 14.
00:34:33
Emergency vouchers, it's one.
00:34:34
A majority, it went from 10 to one.
00:34:40
Nine of those families have now converted to the regular HCV program and so you can see the difference in the numbers there.
00:34:51
Tenant Protection, we have a total of eight.
00:34:53
Relocation, we have a total of seven.
00:34:56
Both of those are vouchers that will continue to sunset as families no longer qualify for those programs.
00:35:04
They were relocations from present halls.
00:35:07
Bash, we have a total of five.
00:35:09
FYI, we have a total of 17.
00:35:11
And so we're still working to fill, I believe, eight slots.
00:35:17
For portable vouchers, we have 16 that are ported to other localities for a total of 613 vouchers.
00:35:25
For the CISRAP program, there are 61 participants in that program.
00:35:30
That number is dropping, but our total HAP
00:35:36
Michael I think you pointed it out it's continued to run above what we estimated we had families get in the program during a time where there was extra money in the program it was a reserve and so we needed to eat that up but folks were complaining that Sysrap is always running an overage
00:35:52
Well, we didn't run our overs this year because we actually leased up more folks.
00:35:57
And so that was planned and intentional to get some of those dollars spent, but we did not lease up any additional new families to try to keep it at the authority we need to have it for next year.
00:36:08
And so we are almost there.
00:36:11
For HCS for the month, we did a total of 63 inspections.
00:36:15
There's currently 42 HCD families in the FSS program.
00:36:20
And the pick score right now is sitting at 100.
00:36:23
And the pick score is the scoring that HUD does for how we're submitting our families that are in the program.
00:36:33
So they're looking at your inspections, they're looking at your errands, they're looking at your annuals.
00:36:38
And so they're looking to see when they're done.
00:36:40
Some families are on 12 months, some are on 24 and some are on 36.
00:36:43
And so it's looking at how many families are late for those inspections and for those recertifications.
00:36:50
And if there are families that have been submitted but they kick back because there's an error.
SPEAKER_02
00:36:56
Can you say the score again?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:36:57
Right now it is 100.53.
SPEAKER_06
00:37:00
What's the
00:37:02
The highest score, like what does that mean?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:37:04
I don't know how you get a .53, but that's how it shows up in HUD's PIC system, and so we're gonna go with it, but the highest score you can get is 100 because they're looking at whether 100.
00:37:16
Oh, we got an A plus.
00:37:16
All of your families are in the system, you don't have any late research, you're on late inspections, it's looking at those things, your errors are addressed, and so for an H-T program, they're shooting at 100.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:37:30
And you said, or sorry, what were you saying?
SPEAKER_06
00:37:32
No, I'm sorry.
00:37:33
I'm just being obnoxious.
00:37:35
Go ahead.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:37:36
So you said the score is measuring just like how well we are able to get someone into a unit with a voucher or?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:37:44
No, it's not measuring how well you get them in.
00:37:47
It's measuring how well the agency is operating the program as in whether you're doing your inspections on an annual basis or a biannual basis.
00:37:56
Whether you're doing your certifications on an annual, bi-annual, or tri-annual basis is whether you're managing the program properly.
00:38:07
HUD understands folks aren't going to, it's going to take folks different time periods to find housing.
00:38:15
Audited on that on the CMAC.
00:38:17
When you're looking at your PICS score, they're looking at what you're submitting to HUD for them to justify whether that family should be in housing.
00:38:25
And HUD is looking at that a whole lot more than they have ever looked at it before because they're trying to find that there's a family that's getting housing assistance that should not be receiving housing assistance.
00:38:36
So they have been super alert
00:38:38
on the pick scoring and things that's happening in the HUD systems.
00:38:43
We've seen so many different pop-up windows now in our HUD systems that we've never seen before.
00:38:50
It's remarkable.
00:38:51
It takes them literally forever to roll out a program.
SPEAKER_05
00:38:55
But this they got.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:38:57
They figured this out.
00:38:59
They have figured this out.
SPEAKER_06
00:39:05
Well, way to go with your A plus, John.
00:39:08
Good job.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:39:15
Oh, we don't have a housing report in this month.
00:39:19
It would have been submitted late.
00:39:20
And so we just did not submit it to Sam.
00:39:23
The director was off the two weeks before the report was going to be submitted.
00:39:28
And so it would have been impossible to get something that would have been accurate.
00:39:31
and so we can send a report to the board just so everyone has it but not tonight as a presentation.
SPEAKER_06
00:39:40
Thank you for letting us know and I support vacation without creating reports during while doing.
00:39:48
All right Kathleen.
SPEAKER_02
00:39:54
Good evening everyone.
00:39:56
As promised I'll share some things on the screen.
00:40:03
First of all, thank you John Sales for getting our annual plan out.
00:40:09
We posted it the earliest I think it's ever been posted this year, which was really exciting, giving us a little more of a buffer.
00:40:17
I got it out to the community.
00:40:18
It was in the paper Saturday and we have a series of meetings that are kicking off this week.
00:40:25
I'm gonna be part of the resident association meeting that I was invited to at Crescent Halls and that'll be our kickoff meeting for the annual plan.
00:40:35
I encourage you all to attend meetings or let us know if you have questions.
00:40:41
And here's the trunk retreat information.
00:40:45
So this is Friday, October 29th and I believe it's actually Thursday.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:40:50
It's Thursday.
SPEAKER_02
00:40:51
Yeah, so I'm going to get the flyer updated.
00:40:56
but trick-or-treating starts at 3.30 and Crescent Halls is at 3.50 and we usually average about 15 minutes at each site.
00:41:07
So Miss Wilcox, I recommend that you're there before we get there at 3.50 because it'll be pretty quick.
00:41:15
We have a whole caravan of cars, quite a few housing authority cars as well as prolific usually with us and the police department and occasionally a few others join us and we try to really keep to the schedule so we don't disappoint anyone by showing up late.
00:41:32
It's pretty fast moving but we do manage, we make sure we get every trick-or-treater before we leave a site.
00:41:39
and if we ever have to we have like one card that'll stay behind to get any stragglers.
00:41:45
But this is the schedule and I'll go ahead and see about getting it updated but it is Thursday the 29th and starting tomorrow we're gonna have a packing party.
00:41:56
I'm gonna be, everything's gonna start at nine o'clock tomorrow.
00:42:00
Maria's been working really hard on making sure we have some breakfast and lunch and
00:42:05
Everyone's getting taken care of.
00:42:07
But if anyone's wanting to come help us, we'll be set up and ready to go at nine o'clock tomorrow.
00:42:12
And John had a really good idea.
00:42:15
We're going to keep track of weight.
00:42:17
There is a lot of candy that gets handed out every year and a lot of great donors.
SPEAKER_06
00:42:23
I know, sorry to interrupt, but Miss Joy had called me about the candy and asked for snack mix, not candy, from prolific, so just be forewarned, it's not candy.
00:42:40
We wouldn't even send a photo of what to purchase.
SPEAKER_02
00:42:46
I just found some blue tape that we actually use for marking units a lot and we're going to use that as kind of an anonymous way to tag some bags that will be hello because we're trying to make sure and that we have something for everyone.
00:42:59
because a lot of candy, a lot of our kids aren't able to eat it, not quite sure what's in it and so we're gonna, we're really excited about these bags with the snacks and pretzels and we've had quite a few things donated that were not that at all.
00:43:16
We even had so much up there with beef jerky which was a surprise.
00:43:21
but we're gonna try to have some you know different bags and I'll say you know if we have someone who's with a nut allergy we're gonna try to figure out the best way to mark them but also it's tricky because it's a little rush of people that
SPEAKER_06
00:43:39
We had the Halloween Spectacular at West Haven and literally this year we put like caution tape up in the spirit of Halloween to like and we're like okay now you wait and I was like if you run I'm gonna put you the back of the costume line like and we were out of everything in an hour like it's pretty serious you better be ready when when you let the kids through
SPEAKER_02
00:44:08
Usually some of our biggest turnouts are at Crescent Halls and West Haven.
00:44:15
And West Haven, I mean, the streets are full, so I encourage anyone.
00:44:20
That's awesome.
00:44:20
We need to take a video.
00:44:24
All right, any questions for me?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:44:29
Kathleen, can I use your time for a couple announcements?
00:44:33
One really big one.
00:44:34
The public housing wait list is opening up on November 2nd.
00:44:39
It will be open for an entire week.
00:44:46
We are accepting online applications and paper applications as a reasonable accommodation.
00:44:53
The application is available in multiple languages.
00:44:56
We did that exercise a few years ago.
00:44:58
And if you apply online, it's available in almost every language.
00:45:02
But the wait list is opening.
00:45:04
And so it's gonna be not only our new communities, but all of our communities, all of our public housing communities.
00:45:11
And so folks, if you need housing, please sign up for that wait list.
00:45:17
If you have housing and you're just interested in the new units, please call your property manager and request a transfer.
00:45:24
Don't spend your time getting on this list because you're already in housing and so you'll be duplicating efforts you've already completed.
00:45:31
Just call your property manager and ask for paperwork for transfer requests.
00:45:35
There is a process and so you won't be immediately transferred but doing this exercise, signing up again for the wait list will not be fruitful.
00:45:47
So this is for folks who are not in housing at the moment and need housing.
00:45:53
And so the wait list, the announcement is on our website.
00:45:56
The application process is also on our website and staff will be available at the new South Hershey community at 1024 First Street South.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:46:09
And as you said, the wait list includes like future units that aren't quite completed yet?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:46:13
Correct.
00:46:14
It's including every one of our units, South First Street, Sixth Street.
00:46:18
It'll include West Haven.
00:46:19
When West Haven is done, second phase of Sixth Street, this is our comprehensive wait list.
00:46:26
And so the only thing it does not include is
00:46:29
Well actually we're opening up Crescent Halls as well and so Crescent Halls will be open as well and so all of our housing, the only one that's not included is Dogwood and that's unsubsidized and so all of our subsidized housing will be in this opportunity.
SPEAKER_06
00:46:48
Awesome.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:46:53
Okay, I will... Was it the construction updates you said?
00:47:04
I just had like two questions on the the completion dates in April 2027 just kind of what's what challenges are being faced
John Sales
Executive Director
00:47:18
Yes, so at South First Street, the large challenge there is if you look at the, this is going to be the first picture in the presentation, you can see that there's a concrete slab
00:47:37
and that back, the backside that backs up to the creek.
00:47:41
So the front section of that property had to be stabilized in order to start on that sixth building pad, this is building number six.
00:47:51
Yes, it's one of the last one completed, but it's building number six.
00:47:56
And so since this area had to be stabilized before this could start, this was delayed and it pushed this one further and further back.
00:48:06
these units are going to start to come online while this one is still coming out the ground and if you flip through the pictures you can see
SPEAKER_06
00:48:20
It looks like they've made progress, but they're definitely still behind.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:48:24
You can see the framing.
00:48:26
So this last one, you can actually see the framing on that concrete slab.
00:48:30
And so that's really the big delay in that property.
00:48:34
And Sixth Street, it's a couple of different delays, none that we are actually seeing as legitimate.
00:48:42
We gave them some time delays due to weather, but the other delays were pushing them to get back to their schedule.
00:48:48
At South First Street that is not the same issue.
00:48:51
South First Street we have a lot less control.
00:48:56
We have three different contractors technically working on the site.
00:48:59
One actually doing the townhouses, another contractor doing the apartment buildings, and another contractor doing the ground work.
00:49:07
and so the groundwork contract is the one who really leads the time and schedule and so if they are late then everything else after that is late and so that is the position we've gotten ourselves into with this development where Urban Core is actually waiting or waited on
00:49:30
contour construction to actually do the building paths for that building and so since one was late now we're paying for with urban core bringing this building to the market late and so it's nothing we can do on that one
00:49:46
We've fought hard to get the project to completion to the starting line because if you remember a few years ago when we went to price this project it came back as more than double where we originally were quoted for it and so we end up having to split it up between multiple contractors to get it to a point where it was actually feasible and so we've now gotten ourselves into this relationship with multiple different contractors
00:50:14
trying to work together on this tight, yes it's a big property but it's really tight when you have this crew having its own construction crew, this construction team having its own team, and this team having its own team.
00:50:28
It's really tight and so folks have worked
00:50:33
pretty well together, but it's a challenge, and so these building pads, especially that one has slipped because of that issue in the front.
00:50:42
For Sixth Street, we're working to get them back on schedule, but right now, these projects are slated to finish around the same time, and South First Street was supposed to finish months ahead of Sixth Street originally.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:50:55
I know in the city we've seen delays with PHA and private construction too so it's kind of system-wide.
00:51:03
Is there any fear of like a cost increase caused by the delay?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:51:09
So there is a cost increase for South First Street.
00:51:15
There's a contingency budget for each one of these projects.
00:51:19
I will say South First Street is reaching closest contingency max, but we're not there yet.
00:51:25
And so right now we're good and we have some negotiating to do on some change orders that are currently in the hopper for us to negotiate on.
00:51:37
Sixth Street,
00:51:39
Fine, no issue at all.
00:51:42
It has a contingency as well, and of course we view some, but it has plenty of contingency to get the project completed.
00:51:48
Won't have an issue.
00:51:51
As we're speaking now, something could drastically change that.
00:51:55
Let me go ahead and say that now.
00:51:57
But right now we're looking good at Sixth Street for sure when it comes to this contingency.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:52:01
Right.
00:52:03
Sorry, just only one other question.
00:52:06
I saw the 9% LIHTC application submitted for West Haven, which, fingers crossed, is successful.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:52:13
Oh, that was successful.
00:52:14
OK. 4% was submitted.
00:52:16
And we are just waiting on an answer.
00:52:18
We believe we'll get that.
00:52:20
But our goal is to shoot for a 2027 bond closing.
00:52:25
So we have plenty of time.
00:52:29
I'll let you say what you're going to say, but I think you have an update for West Haven that could take it.
00:52:34
I think I've given it to a couple of you already.
00:52:38
As you go through the demo and distal process, HUD has a couple of regulatory checks you have to do, and environmental is one of them.
00:52:47
In that environmental, it also looks at historic resources using DHR.
00:52:53
During that process, West Haven was flagged as a historic resource.
00:52:57
based upon the connection to Vinegar Hill and the historic connection there and it actually called out that specifically for the reason not the housing unit itself but how West Haven was constructed and the reason behind it and so we'll be working with the resource
00:53:17
a firm plus some assistance from some board members to work on what that looks like and making sure that we're reserving that history.
00:53:27
We're checking the box and all the boxes for the state, but then also we're able to utilize some of those resources that we find through this process.
00:53:36
And so that will have a delay on the entire project itself.
00:53:43
Funders such as Virginia Housing
00:53:45
usually will work with you with that as long as they see that you're making progress you taking the steps I will tell you
00:53:54
done quite a few of these projects.
00:53:56
This isn't typically an issue with DHR, but it is because of this specific reason and connection to Vinegar Hill.
00:54:04
And so we know we can get this project to completion.
00:54:09
The goal is just to get everything archived, made it available, make it available for the state to preserve and also make it available for us to utilize through the redevelopment process.
00:54:22
Did you have a question around West Haven that I did not touch on though?
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:54:26
No, the only other thing, and so the 9% is successful?
John Sales
Executive Director
00:54:30
Yes, 9%, we were the number one housing authority in the state, and I believe we were the only housing authority selected in our pool.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:54:40
Right, which is super important, and that's- Yes, it's very competitive.
00:54:44
And 4% non-competitive.
00:54:46
The only other question I had is just with the hot seed grant, just out of curiosity, is it known kind of
John Sales
Executive Director
00:54:53
while we didn't receive it.
00:54:54
We asked for too much money.
00:54:58
So this was the first year of it.
00:55:01
And so it was a very competitive program.
00:55:04
And so it looked at the amount you were asking for and what other agencies were asking for and your total makeup of resources.
00:55:13
And so we were weighing that really heavy, the hot seat application.
00:55:18
And so we asked for a decent amount.
00:55:22
and we didn't receive it because of that.
00:55:23
And so I think if we resubmitted with a much smaller ask, we would have received it because our application was the same exact application as the 9%.
00:55:33
and so it should have been just as competitive.
00:55:36
In fact, we literally just resubmitted the same application for our new 4% because we think it was just a hot seat.
00:55:45
Credits attached to it that made it weak because we wanted so much of it.
00:55:49
I think we're asking for more than half of the total award.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
00:55:53
All right, cool.
00:55:54
No, that was it.
00:55:55
And yeah, gonna be probably the most complex and large affordable housing project in the city.
00:56:03
Maybe the city's history really, so.
John Sales
Executive Director
00:56:05
It probably will because it, yes, it will require it because I think we're gonna, we are looking at the second part of West Haven, potentially getting completed without tax credit.
00:56:18
And so if that's the case, you're talking,
00:56:22
Some very historic projects happening.
00:56:25
And so we think we can get it done cheaper because the total development costs for a majority of our units are around $300,000.
00:56:35
We add it to soft costs and out of the latte requirements, it brings up close to a half a million, $600,000 a unit.
00:56:42
And so we had the opportunity to save some money.
00:56:45
And if you're converting to vouchers, the rents that you bring in will cover the debt.
00:56:50
a lot of housing authorities are having an issue where you're looking at how do you cover the debt and so that's where you have those challenges and needing to bring in tax credit but here we have some donors that have come to the table we have a city that's been a really good partner unlike most housing authorities they don't have a city partner or if the city is a partner in it they're looking like
00:57:15
not to knock you Delphine but Norfolk where they're looking to add more market rate and non market rate units which provide a little bit of tax benefit to the city there but it's less affordable units and so here we have not done that if you look at all our developments every unit is affordable and almost every unit is subsidized.
00:57:37
We've learned our lesson at South First Street phase one.
00:57:40
We will not build units that are not subsidized.
00:57:44
It's so hard to fill those units.
00:57:45
It's the hardest units to fill.
00:57:48
Because those rents are set.
00:57:50
It's not based on your income.
00:57:51
Yes, you have to be income qualified to get in them, but the rent stays what it is.
00:57:56
If your income goes down, the rent doesn't adjust to that.
00:58:00
And so it's really hard to fill.
00:58:04
Parallel track.
00:58:05
Really good progress.
00:58:07
We're working on our, I believe, fifth unit now.
00:58:12
The resident should be moving back next week.
00:58:15
And so if commissioners want to go take a look at that unit, let us know.
00:58:21
Reach out to Maria.
00:58:22
We can get some folks in this week.
00:58:25
If you can't make this week, we can get you in the hotel unit next week because we're cleaning the hotel unit up.
00:58:31
and so we can get you in that unit to see but it's really good work if you look at the photos you see we're tearing stuff down to the studs we're doing it right and we're bringing it back making it look really good nice marble stone showers granite countertops new cabinets new flooring it's complete remodels and so the families at Mickey Madison Riverside
00:58:56
Yes, we're not tearing their properties down, but they're getting really nice upgrades and updates as we speak.
00:59:08
Any other questions?
SPEAKER_06
00:59:18
All right.
00:59:21
I will open it up for any additional public comments.
00:59:32
Okay, that concludes our agenda for this evening.
SPEAKER_05
00:59:40
Motion to adjourn?
SPEAKER_06
00:59:43
Motion.
00:59:46
All in favor?
00:59:47
Yes.
00:59:49
All opposed?
01:00:37
Really?
01:00:39
It's so good.
SPEAKER_05
01:00:40
It's so expensive.
01:00:47
Oh, I haven't been in ages, because I used to live over there, so I used to go to a bed shop regularly.
SPEAKER_03
01:00:54
And then we just got too outrageous.
01:00:57
Yes.
01:00:58
So I'm the reason that the shop is there, because my ex's brother was the co-founder.
SPEAKER_05
01:01:06
Oh, you really did that.
01:01:08
That process is close.
01:01:09
I saw.
SPEAKER_06
01:01:12
But yeah, so she came back, and then she got
01:01:14
You can email me.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
01:01:23
Just let me know when you're ready.
SPEAKER_05
01:01:48
so yeah, so.
01:01:49
And I'm Missy Cava and.
01:02:06
No, neither.
SPEAKER_06
01:02:13
I think it's just like better.
SPEAKER_05
01:02:33
She's trying to get us out of the zoo.
SPEAKER_07
01:02:41
What are you doing, Maria?
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
01:02:46
Yeah, we'll see you later.
SPEAKER_07
01:02:52
Who do we do?
01:02:54
Are they going to take down the audience?
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
01:03:01
Ah, yes.
01:03:05
And you can see the new construction is there.
01:03:15
All of it.
01:03:16
So it's kind of a wooden wall.
SPEAKER_07
01:03:21
No, that's, we brought housing on that, so check that out.
01:03:37
That is... No, no, it's completely separate.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
01:03:45
It's its own separate thing.
01:03:47
It's part of what CRHA is called.
SPEAKER_07
01:03:50
Redevelopment of almost all these things.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
01:03:59
Yes, there's both CRHA and PHA plan.
01:04:01
And there's a little bit more, like there's gonna be like shared community resources.
01:04:07
I think Community Garden as well as, I want to say there's going to be a health clinic as well that's kind of shared between the both and those early variants that are kind of, the hope is everyone is able to use those resources.
SPEAKER_07
01:04:24
Right, right.
01:04:28
Thank you.
01:04:37
I'll be on the mall.
SPEAKER_07
01:04:58
How are you?
SPEAKER_05
01:05:01
Good, and you?
01:05:02
Okay, I just always like wait for Maria to make sure that she doesn't have to be in that back room by herself.
01:05:15
I'm trying to take the last, I'm trying to take the last one, but the middle piece felt nice.
01:05:26
The middle piece felt nice.
SPEAKER_07
01:05:29
The gate itself is fine, it just can't close.
SPEAKER_02
01:05:34
So that's cool.
SPEAKER_05
01:05:38
Hopefully I get a couple of people who care about it forever.
01:05:50
What kind of case studies?
01:05:56
So I'm taking them through the history.
01:05:59
because it's part of the general education curriculum.
SPEAKER_06
01:06:02
People will not necessarily pay a lot of the content as much as they would use the content to ask specific types of questions.
SPEAKER_05
01:06:08
So how do we analyze different kinds of evidence so the past is public, what is public housing, legislation and pop culture and the news and political speeches and then also what residents have said.
01:06:23
I want them to answer the question of what is public housing.
01:06:27
Yeah, we spent a lot of time with Charlottesville and the different moments of history, but also just learning about the Brooklyn and St. Louis and some of the smaller cuts that are already in here, like on the New York spot, but then what's happening over there.
01:06:49
at the same time.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
01:06:53
I don't think there's too much of all that in Virginia.
SPEAKER_05
01:07:00
There's not what?
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
01:07:01
Too much optimistic in Virginia.
01:07:04
No.
01:07:04
Yeah, I think we're crushing it.
SPEAKER_05
01:07:06
I like, you know, comparatively, I'm like, yeah, so.
01:07:10
I mean, there's not much optimistic in most places, right?
01:07:14
We're almost closing.
01:07:18
So.
SPEAKER_05
01:07:19
Yeah, but I think like my goal is for them to do this last year.
01:07:26
And to see some of their things.
01:07:30
Which I think like, it was like mildly successful at least last year, so.
01:07:40
That's like, I just don't want them to think, yeah, that's bad.
SPEAKER_07
01:07:45
Off top.
SPEAKER_05
01:07:51
I don't tell them that, but I, yeah.
01:07:55
Yeah, I think they, they at least develop more if you want a better understanding.
01:08:01
Are you that I want to know?
01:08:05
No, no, no.
01:08:06
And then towards either where those towards Hicks, there'll be a garden-style garden, but we have no idea.
SPEAKER_07
01:08:12
Okay, and so this is legal.
Michael Payne
Member, Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board
01:08:16
That's the name that we, like social housing, such non-profit housing versus technical public housing?
SPEAKER_05
01:08:23
I would focus on public, like yeah, I talk, I mean like the first day I'm like, this is what I mean when I say public housing, like there are other models and I like explore that, but like
01:08:37
or like you said, they're 18.
01:08:38
Yeah, exactly.
01:08:39
So I'm like, okay.
01:08:40
And like, you know, if you are, I'm always like, if you're interested in more, I have pieces to send you, but yeah, I mean, for a 70, you know, 35% class, like, there's a limit to what you can achieve.
01:08:57
But yeah, you, let me go back, Maria.
01:09:00
Old school.
01:09:02
Yeah, so.
SPEAKER_06
01:09:03
Thank you, I appreciate it.
John Sales
Executive Director
01:09:07
The council has contributed to this project, the south version of the project, Crescent Halls, they have a funding commitment to our state.
01:09:34
It's pretty good.
01:09:44
You can check us out on our website.
John Sales
Executive Director
01:09:47
We're still updating it, but every month in the redevelopment section there's a monthly newsletter.
01:09:53
You can see the same photos I just showed you.
01:09:56
We have a drone and we take it up on Saturday month and we take update photos and give a little update on where we are, what's coming online, what's coming up next, any other projects that we're working on.
SPEAKER_07
01:10:10
What was the HUD program that replaced HOPE VI?
John Sales
Executive Director
01:10:15
RAD.
SPEAKER_07
01:10:16
Rad?
John Sales
Executive Director
01:10:17
Rad.
SPEAKER_07
01:10:18
And is that how you got the money for this?
John Sales
Executive Director
01:10:20
No, if we are doing any RAD, so all of these are tax credit devotes.
01:10:24
Is it 4% or 9%?
01:10:26
If all of these are 9%, our first 4% would be West 8th and Phase 2.
01:10:30
Oh, that is 1%?
01:10:31
Phase 1B.
01:10:32
We haven't got provision yet, but it's a non-competitive pool, and so typically everyone that applies gets it.
01:10:39
It has to be applied.
SPEAKER_07
01:10:40
Yes, it has to be.
01:10:40
And how many developers are there?
John Sales
Executive Director
01:10:42
Right now there's 126 at Westview, and our redevelopment will put it over 200.
01:10:50
And we'll double it.
SPEAKER_07
01:10:51
So you're gonna go to multi-family?
John Sales
Executive Director
01:10:55
Yes, so there's gonna be I think 102 townhouses, 150 apartments, split 82 in the senior apartment building, 68 in a multi-family building ranging from one bedroom to three bedroom,
01:11:11
and then there's also an SRO, which are single room occupancy, so studio apartments that we're looking to build above a recreation center.
01:11:19
So for the youth to have somewhere to go play and house a little house and folks who need housing.
SPEAKER_07
01:11:24
I think that one is looking at between 20 and 24 units.
01:11:29
So we're going to be about two, seven, two, eight units when we're done in the month.
01:11:33
So in the next three to five years?
01:11:36
Give us a little more time than that.
01:11:37
Give us about the next six to eight years.
01:11:40
The funding and the paper we're in, Boston.
01:11:42
I don't know.
01:11:43
It's not a good time, though.
John Sales
Executive Director
01:11:44
Yeah, Phase 1A, 1A, and 1B.
01:11:48
I think that's within the next four years for sure.
01:11:51
But the townhouse will take a little bit longer.
01:11:55
We're looking at a new funding stream.
01:12:01
I'm
