          THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IT'S REALLY GOOD MORNING. 
          GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE HOUSING AUTHORITY HERE AND ALSO ETHAN CHAIR JAMES, THANK YOU FOR THE INTRODUCTION. IF WE COULD GO TO THE AGENDA I BELIEVE IT'S THE FIRST SLIDE. OKAY. SO TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT OUR PROPERTIES PROGRAMS AT THE FAIR HOUSING AUTHORITY, A PROGRESS REPORT WHICH I HAVE INCLUDED A FULL COPY OF A PROGRESS REPORT HERE AT THE END OF THE DESK IF YOU'D LIKE A COPY AFTERWARDS OR IT CAN BE NOW WE'LL DISCUSS A LITTLE BIT OF THE ANNUAL PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY THAT WE ESTABLISHED LATER THIS YEAR AND THEN ALSO SOME PLANS WITH REPOSITIONING OF OUR PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS AND THEN AN RFQ WHICH IS A REQUEST QUALIFICATIONS FOR A CO-DEVELOPER TO REPOSITION SANDALWOOD TERRACE AT MARSH POINT APARTMENTS IN THE CITY OF  BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. NEXT SLIDE WE'D LIKE A CHAIR. JAMES HAYES INTRODUCED HIMSELF IS OUR BOARD CHAIR AT THE BOARD FOR HOUSING AUTHORITY. OUR VICE CHAIR IS MS. HARRIS WE ALSO HAVE COMMISSIONER WILL HRH COMMISSIONER LINDA ROBINSON AND COMMISSIONER JOHN MARLEY AND I EVEN DESCRIBED MY BACKGROUND BUT HERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND IF YOU'D LIKE TO GO BACK AND REFERENCE BUT I DID SPEND SOME TIME AT THE S.C. HOUSING OVERSAW THE TAX CREDIT PROGRAMS WHICH INCLUDED THE HOUSING TAX CREDIT THE STATE CREDIT AND THE TAX EXEMPT BOND PROGRAMS WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL WITH THE GROUP IN ESTABLISHING ACT 88 OF 2020 2023 WHICH WAS A SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCING PROGRAM TO HELP DEVELOPERS TAX CREDIT DEVELOPERS WITH CAUSED CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND ESCALATION. THE IDEA OF 2023 STABILIZED OVER 7000 AFFORDABLE UNITS ACROSS SOUTH CAROLINA. I WAS AT THE COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND JAMES WARD COMPANY IS AN AFFORDABLE AND WORKFORCE HOUSING DEVELOPER THERE BASED OUT OF CHARLESTON. AND THEN I WAS ALSO IN COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND COLUMBIA AND THEN PRIOR TO THAT I WAS IN THE LEGAL FIELD FOR QUITE TIME EXCELLENT PLACE IN OUR MISSION STATEMENT AT THE B FOR HOUSING AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE QUALITY AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO LOW AND MODERATE FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS IN A SAFE COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT AND TO ASSIST THOSE THAT WE SERVE TO ACHIEVE SELF-SUFFICIENCY TOGETHER. 
          AT A VIEW FOR HOUSING AUTHORITY WE HAVE 17 DEDICATED STAFF MEMBERS NEXT PLACE SO OUR HOUSING PORTFOLIO RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY 300 PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS. 
          WE HAVE OUR LOWCOUNTRY HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION WHICH IS OUR NONPROFIT AFFILIATE. 
          WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 20 HOMES WITH THE LOWCOUNTRY REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. 
          YOU'VE GOT HOUSING AUTHORITY ALSO SEPARATE SCATTERED HOMES THAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF TITLING IN LOWCOUNTRY HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND STABILIZING AND BUILDING A FOUNDATION WITH OUR NONPROFIT WHICH IS GOING TO BE OUR DEVELOPER ARM FOR THE HOUSING. WE ALSO HAVE 13 HOMES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM WHICH IS A FUNDING PROGRAM OF S.C. OUT OF OUT OF THE 300 PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS ,APPROXIMATELY 200 OF THEM ARE WITH MULTIFAMILY SITES AND YOU MAY HAVE SEEN OAK HILL TERRACE. 
          SO APPROXIMATELY UNITS WHICH IS HERE ON REPO AND PORT ROYAL MSD WHICH IS IN GMAC WE HAVE THE UNDERWOOD TERRACE HILTON HEAD WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 80 UNITS AND THEN MARSH POINT WHERE WE HAVE 30 UNITS AND WE ALSO HAVE A COMMUNITY CENTER DEDICATED FROM A PREVIOUS RESIDENT COMMISSIONER. MS. DOROTHY MOHLER AND OUR HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM . WE HAVE A TOTAL OF 647 VOUCHERS OF 500 AROUND 500 OR 50 OF THOSE OR JUST GENERAL. WE ALSO GOT 28 THAT ARE DEDICATED TO VETERANS. 
          WE HAVE 55 DEDICATED TO NON ELDERLY AND DISABLED AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE STABILITY VOUCHERS WHICH WE PARTNER WITH THE CONTINUUM OF CARE. WE HAVE A FAMILY SELF 
          [00:10:02]
SUFFICIENCY PROGRAM WHICH IS UNDER THE SECTION EIGHT VOUCHER PROGRAM AND IS A CRITICAL FOR OUR VOUCHER HOLDERS TO HELP THEM BUILD SELF-SUFFICIENCY. IT'S A GRANT THAT WE RECEIVE FROM HUD TO ADMINISTER THE PROGRAM. IT'S OFFERED FREE OF CHARGE FOR SECTION EIGHT VOUCHERS AND OUR RESIDENTS AND IT HELPS THE INDIVIDUALS WITH TRAINING, CASE MANAGEMENT, COACHING AND DEVELOPING PERSONAL GOALS TO HELP THEM REACH SELF-SUFFICIENCY. I'M JUST GOING TO TOUCH ON A COUPLE OF THESE POINTS JUST FOR TIME. AGAIN, WE DO HAVE A PROGRESS REPORT. 
          YOU'RE INTERESTED IN IT AND IT WILL BE EMAILED BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE MILESTONE ITEMS THAT WE'VE MADE OVER THE PAST SIX MONTHS. LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE DEVELOPED THE AND FINALIZED THE ANNUAL PUBLIC AUTHORITY PLAN FOR 2024 WHICH I'LL TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ON THE NEXT SLIDE. SO THE WAY THAT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY RECEIVES FUNDING THROUGH THE CAPITAL FUND PROGRAM AT HUD, IT'S A GRANT THAT WE APPLY FOR EVERY YEAR AND THAT'S THE MAIN REVENUE SOURCE FOR THE HOUSING AUTHORITY. WHEN I WHEN I GOT THERE THERE WAS AN INTERNAL AUDIT THERE. 
          THERE WAS A LOT OF ADMINISTRATION THAT NEEDED TO TAKE PLACE IN ORDER TO FREE UP SOME OF THE FUNDS THAT WE HAD APPLIED FOR WHICH WE COMPLETED THAT AUDIT AND IT'S RELEASED US AND APPROVED US TO BE ABLE TO DRAW DOWN ON 2.8 MILLION AND PRE COMMITTED OBLIGATIONS. SO TO HELP MAKE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR PUBLIC HOUSING UNITS WHICH IS SIMILAR TO WHAT CHAIR JAMES WAS SAYING WITH ALREADY REHABILITATING UP TO 100 UNITS WE HAVE CONTRACT WITH A CONSULTANT WHO IS HELPING US WITH CONVERSION AND THE REPOSITIONING OF THE PUBLIC HOUSING PORTFOLIO WHICH TALK ABOUT REPOSITIONING COMING UP. 
          WE DO HAVE A FINANCIAL CONSULTANT TO HELP WITH FINANCIAL OPERATIONS AND ALSO TO ESTABLISH A NEW ACCOUNTING POLICY. WE HAVE COMPLETED A COMPENSATION SALARY. WE HAD TO INCLUDE A 10% PREMIUM ON THE COMPENSATION STUDY DUE TO THE COST OF LIVING AND THE COST OF HOUSING AND COUNTY WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF AN MOU WITH PALMETTO COMMUNITY ACTION PARTNERSHIP AND BEAUFORT JASPER EOC FOR WEATHERIZATION SERVICES OUR MULTIFAMILY SITES WHICH WILL HELP THE TENANTS WITH EFFICIENCY THEIR BILLS BUT ALSO HELP US WITH SOME SECURITY AND SOME SAFETY BEFORE HOUSING AUTHORITY SERVE ON THE WORK FORCE WORK FOR THE LOWCOUNTRY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS WE WERE WORKED WITH THE LOWCOUNTRY AFFORDABLE FORUM AND THE RECRUITMENT OF THE DEVELOPMENT PANEL AND WE HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING AND HELPED WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE PUBLIC HOUSING SET ASIDE THAT WAS ADDED TO THE 2025 TAX CREDIT QUALITY QUALIFIED ALLOCATION PLAN AND WHAT THE QUALIFIED ALLOCATION IS THE GOVERNANCE DOCUMENT FOR THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA FOR TAX DEVELOPERS TO COMPETE FOR THE TAX CREDITS IT IT WAS A BIG ADDITION TO THE PLAN I BELIEVE I'VE HEARD CALLED SAY BEFORE AND OTHER MEETINGS IT'S VERY HARD TO GET CHANGES IN THE QUALIFIED ALLOCATION PLAN BECAUSE YOU'RE DEALING WITH IRS BUT THEY HAVE ADDED THAT SET ASIDE AND THAT'S VERY BIG ADVANTAGE FOR THE HOUSING AUTHORITY BECAUSE WHAT IT DOES IS SETS TAX CREDITS ASIDE SPECIFICALLY FOR PUBLIC AUTHORITIES AND GUARANTEED THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A DEVELOPMENT MADE WITH TAX CREDITS. WE'RE ALSO ALLOCATING AT THE STATE TO REESTABLISH PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES AS LOCAL ISSUERS PRIOR TO GO INTO SEE HOUSING. LOCAL HOUSING AUTHORITIES COULD ACT AS BOND ISSUES FOR DEVELOPERS ON TAX CREDITS AND IT CLOSED AFTER GOING S.C. HOUSING WE WORKED THROUGH THAT AS FAR AS THE TAX CREDITS AND THE BONDS THAT WORKED OUT BUT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE VERY INSTRUMENTAL AND PUBLIC HOUSING REESTABLISH SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE ANNUAL PLAN SO WE HAVE OBJECTIVES THAT WE HAVE TO INCLUDE IN THE ANNUAL PLAN AND WE SUBMIT THIS TO HUD AND OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT IS PART OF THAT. LIKE I SAID INITIALLY WHEN I CAME I STARTED THE PILOT PROGRAM JUST TO ASSESS WHAT THE OPERATIONAL NEEDS WERE OR THE HOUSING AUTHORITY YOU KNOW, STREAMLINE REQUIREMENTS, GOOD AND QUALITY. 
          WE DO HAVE THE HUMAN RESOURCE CONSULTANT HAS BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL AND HELPFUL WITH RECRUITING AND TRAINING WE ARE ESTABLISHING A NEW PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR STAFF WHICH IS AN EVALUATION PROGRAM AND WE ARE INVESTING IN ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT. EVENTUALLY I WOULD LIKE TO GET TO A PAPERLESS ELECTRONIC 
          [00:15:03]
DOCUMENT SYSTEM THAT WILL TAKE SOME TIME AND OF COURSE WE WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE COMMUNICATIONS AND OUR MARKETING AND COMMUNITY SO OUR HOUSING NEEDS AND STRATEGY IS SOMETHING THAT WE ALSO INCLUDED AT OUR PUBLIC HOUSING ANNUAL PLAN. 
          YOU'VE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT RFQ AND REPOSITIONING THAT THAT WAS INCLUDED WE ALSO WOULD LIKE TO STRENGTHEN OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ENTITIES YOU KNOW THE CAPITAL FUND THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF THAT YOU HAVE TO DESIGNATE WHEN YOU APPLY FOR A GRANT FOR THE CAPITAL FUND YOU DESIGNATE AND CLASSIFY WHAT YOU WANT TO USE THOSE FUNDS FOR, YOU KNOW, AND THEN YOU HAVE TWO YEARS TO OBLIGATE THAT AND THEN YOU HAVE ANOTHER TWO YEARS TO SPEND IT. SO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT WHOLE FOUR YEAR PERIOD FROM THE TIME YOU'VE OBLIGATED AND DESIGNATED WHAT WANT TO USE THOSE FUNDS FOR FROM THE TIME YOU ACTUALLY SPEND IT. THERE'S SO MUCH CHANGING IN THE WORLD AS FAR AS CALLS FOR CONTRACTORS IN THE ECONOMY AND SO REALLY THE PROGRAM IS COMPLETELY FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE FOR PUBLIC HOUSING WHICH WILL GET INTO THE REPOSITIONING AND THAT'S THE REASON WHY THERE IS THAT REPOSITIONING AND THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE SO MUCH DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AND PUBLIC HOUSING IN THE NATION. WE'D LIKE TO SEE MORE HUD AND NOT FUNDING SOURCE THOSE AND AND INCREASE OUR SUPPLY ASSISTIVE HOUSING THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS AND LANDLORDS FOR OUR HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM. 
          AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST WE ARE IN THE BEGINNING OF CREATING OUR RESIDENT INITIATIVES AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT THAT IS AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING YOU CAN BUILD HOUSING BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO PROVIDE THE RESOURCES AND THE AMENITIES FOR RESIDENTS SO IT COMES TOGETHER SO IT'S A BETTER QUALITY LIFE. SO AGAIN WE TALKED ABOUT REPOSITIONING WHAT IS REPOSITIONING AND YOU KNOW WITH WITH THE FUNDING PROGRAM AND AND HOW THE FROM THE CAPITAL FUND AND DOES IT MAKE THE PROJECT FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE AND YOU HAVE JUST AN OVERLOAD OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE REPOSITION IS AN OPTION FOR PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITIES IT MAXIMIZES THE AVAILABILITY OF HOUSING AND RENTAL ASSISTANCE EITHER THROUGH PHYSICAL UNITS OR THROUGH THE VOUCHER PROGRAM. 
          IT PRESERVES AND REHABILITATES TO REPLACE NATIVE PHYSICAL UNITS BY INCREASING ACCESS TO FINANCING FOR CAPITAL NEEDS. ESTABLISH A SUSTAINABLE PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL STABILITY FOR THE HOUSING PORTFOLIO AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT PROVIDES RESIDENTS WITH THE FLEXIBILITY TO MOVE TO PLACES OF OPPORTUNITY AND IMPROVE THEIR QUALITY OF AND ALSO MOST IMPORTANTLY TO WITH THE PLATFORM THAT BEST MEETS THE NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY HERE IN . SO THE REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW IN DRAFT FORM AND WHAT THAT WILL BE IS A REQUEST FOR A DEVELOPER AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND THE HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION WILL BE A CO-DEVELOPER AND IT WILL BE PUBLISHED BY THE END OF THE YEAR AND IT WILL BE TO REPOSITION SANDALWOOD TERRACE ON HILTON HEAD AND MARSH POINT HERE AND THE CITY OF . 
          AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS WE WILL BE PARTICIPATING IN THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE DEMONSTRATION WHICH IS THE RAD PROGRAM YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF THAT AND THE SECTION DEMOLITION AND DISPOSITION AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT WE WOULD BE DEVELOPING NEW MULTIFAMILY FOR THE TENANTS TO RELOCATE TO AND THEY WOULD BE PROVIDED A PROJECT VOUCHER SO WITH THIS RFP WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WE'RE GOING TO NEED TAX CREDITS THAT. YOU KNOW TAX CREDITS IS THE NUMBER ONE TOOL FOR FINANCING AFFORDABLE AND SOME WORKFORCE HOUSING IN THE NATION. 
          THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN DO THIS WITHOUT THAT. THERE IS AN OPTION TO DO IT WITHOUT TAX CREDITS. BUT THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IS WITH THE TAX CREDITS. 
          SO OUR TIMING OF PUBLISHING THE RFQ IS BY THE OF THIS YEAR AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE THE 9% TAX CREDIT ROUND IS IN MAY OF NEXT YEAR AND THAT WILL GIVE DEVELOPERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND TO THE PROPOSAL. THERE'S ALSO GOING TO BE A 4% ROUND IN THE FALL WHICH WOULD BE BETTER FOR A LARGER MULTIFAMILY SITE LIKE SANDALWOOD BECAUSE YOU CAN BUILD UP TO 200 UNITS. SO BY DOING THIS IT HELP US IF WE WOULD THE AFFORDABILITY RESTRICTIONS WOULD REMAIN ON THE PROPERTY BECAUSE WE WOULD DO A CROWN, A LEASE WITH THE DEVELOPER THERE WOULD BE QUALIFIED PATIENTS AT THE DEVELOPER. 
          [00:20:04]
THE DEVELOPER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACQUISITION. THEY WOULD MANAGE THE CONSULTANTS, THE GENERAL CONTRACTORS, THEIR ENGINEERS OR ARCHITECTS THAT WE ALSO HAVE REQUIREMENTS AS FAR AS THEIR COMMUNICATION WITH THE PUBLIC INCLUDING THE PUBLIC, THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, THE NEIGHBORHOODS. WE'RE ALSO REQUIRING A RESIDENT RELOCATE SERVICES CONTRACT THAT THEY CONTRACT WITH THE COMPANY OR EITHER IF THEY OFFER THAT SERVICE WITHIN THEIR OWN COMPANY TO HELP THE TENANTS BECAUSE THERE IS HUD REGULATIONS THAT WE WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE THOSE PROTECTIONS AT THE VIEW FOR HOUSING AUTHORITY WE'RE ALSO ESTABLISHING A SEPARATE POSITION FOR A RESIDENT RELOCATION SPECIALIST TO HELP WITH THIS PROCESS. AGAIN I'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT THE FINANCING SOURCES YOU KNOW WHEN YOU GET INTO THE CREDIT DEVELOPMENT AND MEDICARE THIS IS NOT JUST ONE FUNDING SOURCE OR TWO FUNDING SOURCES AS I CALL IT FINANCING LASAGNA BECAUSE YOU'RE HAVING TO WEED IN FINANCING SOURCES THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE PROJECT. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU MAKE YOUR PROJECTIONS, WHEN YOU SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATIONS AND YOU'RE YOU'RE TAKING YOUR A LOT CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE AT THAT TIME AND BY THE TIME YOU GET TO THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND YOU WIN AND YOU GET TO YOUR CONSTRUCTION SYNDICATION CLOSING ALL WAY THROUGH CONSTRUCTION THOSE CONSTRUCTION COSTS ARE GOING UP AND DOWN ALL THE WAY THROUGH THAT. 
          SO YOU'RE HAVING TO WEED OUT DIFFERENT FUNDING SOURCES THAT PROJECT TO MAKE IT FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE SO YOU CAN PLACE SERVICE. AND SO I'VE NAMED HERE SOME OF THE FINANCIAL OPTIONS THAT WE'VE INCLUDED FOR THE DEVELOPERS TO USE. 
          HOW LONG DOES THIS PROCESS TAKE FOR ONE DEVELOPMENT TYPICALLY FROM START TO FINISH FROM THE TIME YOU PUT AN APPLICATION TILL THE TIME YOU PLACE IN SERVICE AND YOU LEASE UP IT'S 3 TO 5 YEARS AND PHASE ONE BUT WE'RE HERE AND WE ARE MOVING FORWARD SO BEFORE WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS YOU KNOW THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FUNDING THROUGH THE CAPITAL FUND PROGRAM TO KEEP THE PUBLIC FINANCIALLY FEASIBLE AND THAT'S AGAIN WHY YOU HAVE YOUR DEFERRED MAKE SENSE IF YOU TAKE IT THROUGH THE RAD THE REPOSITIONING IS PLACED ON A MORE STABLE PLATFORM AND THE TENANT HAS A PROMISED VOUCHER SYSTEM WITH THE RENT THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY THERE'S NOT MANY OPTIONS TO BORROW OTHER FINANCING OR MONEY TO HELP WITH THE DEFERRED MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. WE RELY ON THAT CAPITAL HUD PROGRAM WHICH IS GOOD. 
          WE'VE DONE THE AB AUDIT AND NOW THAT MONEY IS COMING IN. YEAH THE FUNDING FAILS TO KEEP UP WITH DETERIORATING LIVING CONDITIONS. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT ONCE WE DO THE REPOSITIONING IT'S A BETTER LIFE FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO WITH WITH PUBLIC HOUSING YOU KNOW A RESIDENT CAN'T JUST CHOOSE TO MOVE SOMEWHERE UNDER PUBLIC HOUSING AND BE GUARANTEED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE UNLESS THEY QUALIFY FOR A VOUCHER IN THIS CASE THE R GUARANTEE THEY CAN HAVE THE NEW HOME OR EITHER THEY HAVE OTHER OPTIONS WITH VOUCHERS TO GUARANTEE THAT THEY HAVE THAT FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WHERE THEY AND THAT CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION SO ANY QUESTIONS QUESTIONS LOTS OF INFORMATION IT IS A LOT OF INFORMATION. 
          CAN WE GET THIS PRESENTATION? YES, WE'LL GET COPIES OF THE PRESENTATION AND THE HANDOUTS THAT SURE AS ANY QUESTIONS MY DOOR'S OPEN FEEL FREE TO CALL ME ANY TIME OUT WITH THE REPOSITIONING SO CURRENT RESIDENTS IN THOSE TWO LOCATIONS IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY THOSE BUILDINGS AND BOTH OF THOSE WILL BE TORN DOWN AND AND THEN SO A PERIOD OF 3 TO 5 YEARS STILL LIVING THE CURRENT RESIDENTS WANT LIVE SOMEWHERE ELSE AND HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE BACK OR HOW HOW WOULD THAT WORK THAT'S FOR THAT RELOCATION SERVICES REQUIREMENT AN RFQ WOULD COME FROM WE WOULD HAVE A CONTRACT CONSULTANT OR COMPANY THAT WOULD HELP US THEIR REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE TO FOLLOW BECAUSE UNDER THE UNIFORM LOCATION ACT THE PROPERTY WILL BE RELOCATED SOMEWHERE AND I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT THAT PLANNING IDEA FOR EXAMPLE HELP THAT IT WOULD BE A GREAT OPTION FOR A PHASE DEVELOPMENT WHERE IT COULD LHR SEE WE COULD DEVELOP SOME SINGLE FAMILY HOMES OR SOME TOWNHOMES OR FIRST PHASE WHERE INDIVIDUALS CAME INTO THE NEW HOMES AND THEN IT WOULD BE TORN DOWN AND THEN IT WOULD KEEP GOING. THEY'D BE ABLE TO BUILD MORE DENSITY BECAUSE IN THE NEW AND 
          [00:25:02]
THE REPOSITIONING PROGRAM SO TAKING THE PUBLIC UNITS OUT OF THE PROGRAM THEY WOULD THEN BECOME CREDIT UNITS. THERE ARE OPTIONS THAT THE HOUSING AUTHORITY CAN PARTICIPATE. THERE'S THERE'S A DEVELOPER AGREEMENT WHERE THEY CAN PROVIDE MANAGEMENT SERVICES OR MAINTENANCE SERVICES BUT THERE WOULD BE THAT GROUNDLINGS TO HELP AFFORDABILITY THAT WOULD TAKE THAT NUMBER OF HOUSING UNITS OUT OF THE PUBLIC PORTFOLIO WHERE WE COULD HAVE AN OPTION THAT WOULD HAVE HUD IS VERY INTERESTED IN MOVING FROM THE PUBLIC HOUSING AND SO WE WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW HUD REQUIREMENTS WHAT BUT YES VOUCHER PROGRAM BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING THE HOUSING AUTHORITY FOR MONITORING WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO ALL INCOME AND PREPARE SO WE CAN WE HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T HAD COUNTER INSPECTOR WE DO HAVE OUR HOUSING VOUCHER INSTRUCTOR HERE HE MAY BE ABLE TO HELP US TO OUR QUESTIONS BUT WE DO WE DO EXPECT THAT REQUIREMENTS WITH WILL IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE IN TRIAL AND WE'RE NOT JUST SO IT IT SEEMED THAT THE STATE AS YOU WERE SORT OF A BREATH OF FRESH AIR COMING TO THE LOWCOUNTRY SO I LIKE WHAT YOU PRESENTED MORNING WELL ONE OF THE THINGS THAT A CRIME IS A IS A MAJOR ISSUE THE HOUSING SECTOR ITSELF AND ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICE IN NEW ORLEANS WHEN MY WIFE IS IS THAT THEY HAVE THEY USED TO HAVE THE HOUSING PROJECT AND AFTER THEY REBUILD BUT THEY ACTUALLY BUILT THOSE HOUSES SEPARATE AND LIKE FOR UNITS IN THE SECTION AND IT ALMOST GAVE OWNERSHIP TO EACH YOUR PLANS ARE TO DO SOMETHING SIMILARLY SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S A RENTAL PEOPLE CAN FEEL THAT IT'S PART OF THEIR COMMUNITY AND THEY TAKE OWNERSHIP AND WHEN YOU START DEALING WITH THINGS LIKE CRIME ETC. ETC. 
          THEY HAVE SOMETHING A STAKE IN THAT LIVING AREA AND YOU'RE TALKING THE DEVELOPMENT SO ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT A LARGE IPHONES, IPADS, DIFFERENT SECTIONS INSIDE OF IT WITH DIFFERENT UNITS AS A LIKE A SUPPORTIVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ? SO THEY EVEN IN GENERAL THEY BASICALLY HAD SORT OF LIKE TOWNHOUSES CONNECTED TO LIKE FOUR UNITS. SO YOU HAD TO MOVE THE FRONT TO THE BACK BUT THE PERSON ON THE ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER IN THE FRONT OWNERSHIP OF MY SECTION SO YOU GET INTO GRAFFITI AND THAT WHICH IS USUALLY A SIGN OF DETERIORATION BUT YOU KNOW I I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR MY UNIT IT IS ONLY FOR TO THE FRONT TO THE BACK YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE A TOWNHOUSE BUT GIVE YOU SOME KIND OF TO ME LOOKS LIKE IT LOOKS BETTER NOW THAT'S ALL UP TO DATE. 
          I CAN'T TELL YOU WHERE IT IS TOTALLY WHETHER IT IS OR NOT BUT IT JUST SEEMS THAT I WOULD HAVE IF I WAS THERE I WOULD HAVE OWNERSHIP OF MY UNIT. YEAH I OTHER IN PRIDE YEAH YES ANOTHER ADVANTAGE WITH GOING THROUGH THE REPOSITIONING AND USING THE TAX CREDIT PROGRAM IT'S A PUBLIC HOUSING THAT WE HAVE NOW DEVELOPED DECADES AGO AND SO THE FINANCIAL PROGRAMS, THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE TAX CREDIT PROGRAMS AND SOME THE OTHER FINANCING OPTIONS I HAVE BETTER REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THAT. YEAH. 
          IS FOR SAFETY CLOSER TO AMENITIES KNOW WE HAVE EXPLORED DOING MORE RESEARCH AND WHAT OUR OPTIONS ARE FOR HOME OWNERSHIP YOU KNOW WHETHER IT'S USED WITH OTHER NONPROFITS HERE THAT MAY RECEIVE FUNDING OR SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AS WELL TO HAVE INDIVIDUAL TOWNHOME DEVELOPMENTS. SO THAT IS SOMETHING WE ARE LOOKING INTO. 
          OKAY, THANK YOU MARY. KIND OF BUILDING OFF THIS POINT HERE ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS ON COUNCIL BECAUSE THE AFFORDABILITY FOR FIRST RESPONDERS IS THERE AN OPTION THEM TO BE PLACED IN THAT AREA TO THE UMASS FIRE AND POLICE AND TO THOSE SAME UNITS SO UNDER THE 9% TAX CREDIT PROGRAM IT GOES UP TO 89 UNITS. 
          [00:30:05]
I THINK THEY CHANGED IT THIS YEAR ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. AND I'LL USE MARSCH POINT AS A EXAMPLE. WE HAVE DONE SO THE TAX CREDIT DEVELOPER MAY COME IN TO DEVELOP 80 UNITS THAT QUALIFIED ALLOCATION PLAN. THE GOVERNING DOCUMENT FOR THE TAX CREDITS DOES INCLUDE NOW INCOME AVERAGING WHICH ALLOWS YOUR YOUR 30% TO YOUR 80% WHICH GETS CLOSER TO YOUR WORKFORCE. AMON SO SO WE DO HAVE THAT OPTION AND AS PART OF THIS YES AND I THINK THAT'S ONE THING WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS IS NURSING NURSING STAFF WORK THAT WORKS RIGHT IN YOUR AREA MEDIAN INCOME HERE AND BEFORE YOU KNOW AND OUR MISSION STATEMENT WE SERVE LOW AND MODERATE LOW AS CONSIDERED 50 $50,000 A YEAR AND THAT THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED WORKFORCE SO WE DO HAVE THAT OPTION. YES. 
          THANK YOU. YOU CAN ALSO DONATE TO LAND BECAUSE THE CITY DID THAT AND WORK WITH THE LOWCOUNTRY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND WAS TWO UNITS THAT ARE ON THE CORNER OF NORTH AND RIBEAU THEY LOOK LIKE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES WITH THEIR QUAD PLEXUS. SO I KNOW THE COUNTY'S GOT TONS OF LAND LAYING AROUND WITH NOTHING ON IT BUT IT HELPS BECAUSE THE PROPERTY AROUND HERE HAS A ROOF SO THAT WOULD SEEN YEAH I WOULD THINK THAT QUALIFIED ALLOCATION PLAN THEY INCLUDE THAT OPTION WHERE THAT DEVELOPER CAN GAIN ADDITIONAL POINTS AND SCORE HIGHER IF THEY LEVERAGE AND GET DONATED FROM A LOCAL MUNICIPALITY. SO THAT IS DEFINITELY AN OPTION AS WELL. 
          ARE THERE ARE AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACTION INSIDE FOR LOCALLY STATION MILITARY? I DO NOT KNOW THE QUESTION OR ARE YOU IN THE BARRACKS? I DO HAVE BASE HOUSING BARRACKS YEAH. MOSTLY PLACE HOUSING. WE CAN LOOK INTO THAT FOR YOU. 
          SO NATIONAL. YEAH YEAH. I THINK WE HAVE A BIG VETERAN IN CALLING TO ESTABLISH AN ACCOUNT. YES. 
          SO A LOT OF OUR CLIENTS ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY SERVING IN TEXAS IS INTERESTED IN HAVING AFFORDABLE HOUSING STABILITY. YES. SOME OF THE FUNDING PROGRAMS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HAVE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS NOW SOME OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS ARE FOR VETERANS SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD TAKE IN CONSIDERATION IN THE REPOSITIONING AS WELL. 
          SO AS HOREB OPENED UP ITS HOUSING TO THE PUBLIC AND YES VETERANS YES SORRY BUT THE GENERAL PATTERN YOU CAN IN THERE IS THAT THEY HAVE CAPACITY. 
          YES. OKAY. IS THAT AS IS WHAT ARE THE RATES I MEAN HOW ARE THE RENTS COMPARABLE TO WHAT'S IN THERE JUST OPEN MARKET? IS IT CHEAPER? IS CHEAPER, YES. OTHERWISE IT GOES WITH YOUR BASE ALLOWANCE HOUSING RANGE OTHER QUESTIONS NOW'S YOUR CHANCE WITH OUR FOLKS HERE FROM THE HOUSING AUTHORITY SCOTT ALL RIGHT IF NOT I THANK YOU BEING HERE AS THIS IS ALL VERY VERY INTERESTING I HAVE NEW INFORMATION THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE AND I'M SURE YOU'RE GOING TO BE MAKING GREAT PROGRESS YEAR.
