Commission on Aging - Regular Meeting

There's an expectation that they might have a draft. Also, as we close out this task force meeting today, would like to ask from a staff recommendation that your next task force meeting meet after the August 12. So then, therefore, CSH as well as the leadership, the chair, and Sherry Legg, We have Renee here today. I come before you to present, the draft strategic planning and to do a share out, and get feedback from this task force, but then also to do a community wide share out experience and get the feedback. And so extremely pleased with the pace and the cadence that have been set, by CSH in partnership with, NC five zero four, which is our local COC.

And so we greatly appreciate that. The other thing is is that a lot has happened since, we have transitioned since our last meeting, and Duval County has passed their budget to include, personnel expense to support a COC services director as well as three additional positions. Some things to note on the body is that if you go to the next slide to really outline where we are with this program. It is not a department, from a staff recommendation as of yet. However, you have this handout, and we'll we're moving forward with the board approval on the August 7.

And to have this as a program up under the manager's office reporting to the assistant county manager for successful people, upon their position in field. Please note that if we take on this lead designation that was discussed during the last task force meeting, there are four spaces that we're working in. Prevention, meaning upstream support, crisis response, which is our shelter service delivery, emergency services, white flag, etcetera, cooling stations, individual support, which is case management or wraparound supports, better known as permanent supportive housing, and then also referrals and management of the by name list, making sure that this system can move forward in making sure people get housed. There are some things that we really wanna recognize is that you see the box where it says obtainable housing. The reality is is that when we look at our COC homeless service, delivery model, I would like for us to hold true to those four, spaces that I just referenced, also recognizing that we still need to work with our, municipalities in development of attainable housing, and we recognize that attainable housing happens in four perspective spaces.

Number one, fair market housing, public housing, permanent supportive housing, and then using our housing short slashes. And so as we move into this space, this causes a recognition that the development of of attainable housing is something that we want to dovetail and connect in with, but there is a concept of this being separate but also apart. And so as we build out the program for COC service delivery, just a strong recognition that this is about service delivery and building the pipeline of connectivity to the obtainable housing, initiatives that are happening within on the county. Any questions as as as it relates to to this model and how it connects to to obtain.

Okay.

So extremely excited about this. Again, you have your overview document as it relates to how this program will operate and be designed in partnership with the COC. The other thing that I wanna recognize is you do have the, draft job description for the COC services director upon Okay. Board review of transferring, these bonds to the manager's office and starting this program, we will look at it as an agenda item on the seventh. We will move forward with the recruitment or disposition. I think it's timely as it aligns and tracks with, also where we are with finalizing the strategic plan.

And so I just wanna say

thanks to everyone, CSA as well as staff providing feedback as we work through the.

And

so, with that being said to the task force, there were a lot of questions around funding, during our last meeting. And so the perspective agenda before you is leaning into an overview of funding to definitely get ready for, alignment with strategic planning efforts. And we don't have any questions to the chairman. Are we ready to

move forward with funding? First. Yes. Go ahead. So

we have a notice of funding opportunity, which is our no phone. We should when we look at it, we have about $2,760,000 in our '24 2,024 awards. And these funds came directly to the county crew HUD in these to these funded agencies. These are biannual awards in 2024 due to annual demand and the escalators for returning programs, and these were done under IGST programs that you might hear some information today of how these programs have worked throughout the county. These grant performance periods vary throughout the year, and the funding includes planning dollars as well as collaborative applicants, POC, our COC and the agency.

So these have been in our programs for some years now, and these are just a part of money that is dedicated to how we work through our dental for dollars. We also have state dollars that come through to us just under it's about a quarter of $1,000,000,000 that comes with our twenty twenty four awards. And these are pass throughs applies to this to the state. There are annual application. They do have some escalators, and these are single grant office periods from January through December.

And I know that Sherry is hearing that our staff have been working on obtaining these dollars through our various funding mechanism that they have obtained these these these dollars for us. These awards have come through, like,

let

me see. Shelter funds come straight from the state, $100,000, as well as that HMIS funds. They are split between the state and the NOFO dollars. The state dollars are about 55,000. The NOFO dollars is $730,000.

We'll go $528. Then we have joint traditional housing funds that come from directly from our funds as well as our permanent supportive housing funds that are just under just over $1,700,000,000. 1 point yes. $7,000,000,000. We have planning funds, which are a $177,000, which also we have rapid rehousing funds, which are split between our state and federal funds right at a half $1,000,000 from this federal government and just $73,000 from the state as well as some street outreach funding that we have that comes from the NOFO as well as from the from the state fund.

So, collectively, we have just about three point just under $3,000,000 for the county through our COC HUD grants. I don't know if you want me to go into more specifics. I don't wanna read into the slides, but we are working at about three point just at a three point just at $3,000,000 in funding. We also have our service providers within the county, which are the service family services of the Piedmont, Greensboro Housing Authority, Gilbert County Partners, Amy Pogus, Womens at the Inn, Salvation Army, the Minnesota Servant Center, Piney House Community, Western Industries, and new focus as well as YWCA Greensboro. And they split funding opportunities between the state and the federal dollars, and their funding totals are about $2,700,000 that they are using in in COC at least across the county.

Are there any questions about our breakdown funds that we're getting through our COC?

There, Renee, you mind sharing some perspective on where you see us funding well as it relates to the various services and the buckets, but then also where you see where there are gaps. So

Well, I guess one

of the things that I could say is emergency shelter is always gonna be a big issue because of all the issues that that our people are becoming homeless every single day in our community. You know, I understand funds are always limited, but I think that is a a major area. And then, of course, you can see that the state doesn't have as much the rapid rate of housing or permanent supportive housing programs available for people that they're gonna need the extra help to stay. So I guess those would be the three barriers that we think are most

important. You can tell here is the focus on housing first, where a lot of the amount of funding goes to where you're suggesting that. And I I know the next slide we're gonna go to talks about how was trying to navigate the future landscape is one that is is pretty unclear, but the the big on that that that we have to think about here. So And

we don't have a lot of emphasis on prevention, so trying to get people before they get to these points is probably one of our huge issues that we have. If we could do the prevention on that end, and that would, you know, kinda alleviate some of that, but we don't have really a prevention right now. And our street outreach is very limited. So, technically, there's only one agency that should be covering the entire county. The other street outreach teams that we have are collaborations based on the municipal partners who have added those resources. But as for the CLC, it's on a covering the entire county. There's really technically only one agents.

To the point of your engagement. This being done is just not being done on the. Right? It's coming out all the way. Some of that. Yes. It is. Yeah.

And I just mentioned one other thing also was sharing some of the rental assistance has always been such a help to keep people from becoming homeless. And one of the things that we're seeing at being at the courthouse is a lot of times people are behind in rent because they lost their job, started a new job in a second. But that one, the two months, all of a sudden, they're two months past due for rent. Then there are people who have housing issues. So job loss and then health issues are the two things. The most re the the reason for most people being in addiction. And it'd be you know, if there were some dollars again to

sort

of help those people just get over that little bump in the road, keep themselves.

And these are what we're seeing also is a increase in in folks that we normally wouldn't see, right, in the system now. So those individuals are looking very different because they're working for us folks, but they've just fallen down on their love. So and then, of course, we always got you with the children. So

When would these funds be available?

So these funds are currently just been released to the agencies. So, of course, you know, HUD had a hold on all of the funding, so they've just started releasing funding started about June. So those agencies that from about January to May are just receiving have just received their contracts. So out of the 10 agencies, only about four of them have already signed that contract. So based on when your contract ends, because all the contracts are different ending periods, your contract is signed differently.

So the HUD is we've been in close contact with them. They are releasing them as they are due. So, hopefully, most of these funds will be released, but these funds will be good for the remaining of '25 and some of 2026 right, as of now. Because even though it says grant year 2024, that's the year we applied for, but the grants come a year later.

Right. Gotcha.

Those are.

So that's the outlook on the it kinda got a hit right here. This is the outlook on the funding agreements that are being issued for projects. Is still working in order of performance agreement. So January starts the first and then February, but it as I guess Sherry mentioned, that time frame might be a little bit off now. Yes.

That is correct.

So what's the expectation? In?

Agencies that recently executed their grants, technically, their grant usuals are when their their new grant will now start on the date of the the director of the assigned. So for example, we had a two agency. Know one expired in January, one expired in March, but they didn't get their grants until later. So it's twelve months from those dates, which means that some of them were in in a sense where you can say we're in the hole for several months until COVID would execute the credits. At this point, I think the ones the grants that are coming through that are coming due now for the summer to

fall should be back on schedule. Okay. And funding agreements that do have new or changed provisions in them are reflecting current administration priorities and actions. So Absolutely. There are some changes that we recognize that are happening that are gonna be now reflected in these in these programs and in these grant applications. And with this and I guess, Sherry, you can review what they

may be. So, yes, they the new all the new updated executive orders that people were according to me to get the grant, you had to read that you've gotta adhere to those executive orders. So for we we literally just sent a new communication to our grant partners to just ask them, had were there anyone that was hesitant about signing their grant agreement? So as

of today, we have not

received any email. So as we know today, all all of the agencies that have received them supposed to receive their funding on time have are moving towards their agreements.

Can I ask you a question? Just forgive my ignorance on this. I'm sure I could have asked it later, like, in the hallway. I was gonna have to grab one of your No problem. Brother chairman wouldn't worry.

Of the executive orders

and I've

tried to follow them, but I think y'all know there's a whole lot. Most recent one around Beyonce is pretty interesting.

That was That's not that's in the gram.

That's okay. Are there any concerns for folks getting grant agreements regarding whether they have to cooperate with congression and custom enforcement? Like, is there anything that's enhancing some stipulations there where someone comes to a shelter, you have to see their, for example, their citizenship status or anything like that?

I mean, if you sign the grant agreement, you have to adhere to the executive orders. So whatever's in those executive orders that they have to follow, that's what they they now agreed that they would do. I will say that there have been guidance that has been shared with them and given to the agencies, from various the nationals in the homelessness, some of various actions that low income housing around how you engage law enforcement and work together in partnership. So that's kind of where things start at. But if they sign the contract agreements with HUD and the language is included in that, then they will have to adhere to those. K.

Thank you.

So, Sherry, if you will, again, kind of work with me on the next sesh the section on the continuing resolution that congress passed early early March doesn't include additional funds for the continuing care grants, and the impact is of this is not clear at this time, but potential outcomes could include. So kinda share with us what what you're seeing

on that. So what we know at this point is that the grant year that we applied for in 2024, it should have been biannual grant. However, they have now got to say HUD is possibly is strongly retracting the statement and then congress may now say they have to now have a new funding year. Congress is the one that dictates how frequently the NOFO is actually issued. And up until now, it's always been annual.

So last year was the first year for it to be biannual, and then it should have just been a renewal. So now there is will read will lean very heavily on treatment purposes.

So you don't know what that exactly means, but

that was the communication communication that the sent out to all the COG leaders around there. So that means that possibly around housing and secured housing also has to be connected some type of treatment. And it may be now a requirement versus now it's not a requirement.

Anything else on that topic? And I ask that you please not adjust to television screens. I am not Nancy Long. I'm a little bit late, but looks like Nancy is the is the chair for today's meeting. So I'll just continue going from there. Thank you. So next, under other business, senior PowerPoint housing and homelessness grant plan. Did we go to bed?

No. No.

Provide us the questions there. So, unless there's a different online you're going to go by, I'll provide answers to those questions, with regards to the Home Consortium. So just a little bit of historical records. The first Home Consortium appeared to have been formed somewhere around circa 2001. At that time, it included the city of Greensboro, which was and continues to be the lead administrator for the consortium, and it also included Guilford County, the city of Ithorn, the city of Burlington, and Alamance County.

When you look at the consortiums that are formed by the under the HUD guidelines, there has to be con continuous jurisdictions. And so with that, then Guilford County, the unincorporated area of Guilford County, then allow Burlington and Alamance County then to be part of that initial consortium. Somewhere around in and around 2007, I understand that the city of Five Point became eligible to be its own entitlement area. And so, therefore, it came out of the initial of the original consortium. It became its own consortium.

And so then moving forward up until a couple years ago, then the consortium included the original jurisdictions with the exception of the city of. In 2002, the home consortium was reorganized with the city of Burlington and the counties of Rockingham, Caffold, Alamance, Randolph, and Davidson forming its own consortium. So of the original consortiums that were designated to get home funding, then that left and currently leaves the city of Greensboro as well as Gilbert County. So Greensboro continues to serve as the lead administrator, and Field for County is a part of the consortium. So what can these funds be used for?

So these funds can be targeted toward basically six categories. They're all aimed at either housing creation. Is is that let's just say you have a 100 recipients that you're gonna provide funding to. If we use all the money, then what happens is is that nine 90 of those or 90% has to be at incomes household incomes at 60% or less of a household median income, which leaves then 10 recipients or 10% that can be funded up between the 6180% of the household income. And those household median incomes, that are eligible, and actually shifts from midyear, and those numbers are provided by HUD.

And in fact, just in terms of putting it in perspective for you, for 2025, for a family of four, the 80% income limit is 68,500, and then the income limit, for 50%, for a family of four is 22,800. Now the key is is that for your county's home allocation, which averages since about 2013, roughly between a 120,000, up to a 140,000 on average. Their funding has to be used in areas outside of the city limits of Greensboro, outside of the city limits of High Point, and in the unincorporated area of Gilbert County only. That's where those funds have to be have to be used, but that's their target. And primarily, the reason being is because Greensboro gets its own allocation, and so it wants to use its funding within the city limits of Greensboro.

K? Now on the tenant based rental housing assistance, one of the things that we do have an advantage where the tech force has an advantage is that we can piggyback on program guidelines that the Grainsboro already has. And so when we talk about that 9010% split, that may actually be advantageous to reach those numbers. K?

So just yes.

Just wanna say thank you to you, Leslie, for having this conversation with me probably about sixty days ago as it relates to where we can look at refreshing how we, allocate, our county, funds And just a recognition that it it is correct, it has to be within

There was a question as to whether or not So, mister mister Majer, I don't know if I've answered all the questions. I'm just getting back in here today, from being out of the office for a week. So, I didn't get any additional questions. So hope I've answered all of that or if there's anyone else from the task force that maybe can ask some some additional questions. If you could

just do a re recap on future use, so we can be more creative with these.

Sure. So in terms of future use and, again, this is tentative, and this has to be approved, certainly by our governing board, but we have a couple opportunities midterm. First is a tenant based rental assistance, as I mentioned, operating. The other is we do have a project that is being developed just outside of the city limits in the unincorporated area that's designed to help both with developmental disabilities for them to have a sense of at least semi independence, self sufficiency, and housing. That project that project is called Peace Haven.

There are no obligations that have been made toward that, but, those are two near term opportunities that we can use for change based rental assistance as well as a project for, developmental disabilities.

Any additional questions for Mr. Ben? And you covered all of three b. Correct?

As listed on the agenda. I have

everything right now. Yes. So thank you so very much. If there no additional questions, then we can go to we can now go to item four of the business and the city of Platform housing and homelessness grant funding.

I

guess a few slides need to be advanced to hop on the section maybe. We were specifically asked for the allocations or the federal allocations primarily that the city of High Point receives. And on an annual basis, we received community development block grant or CDG funds. And because we are an entitlement city, and so we actually receive those on a formula basis. It's not a competitive process or anything like that.

So we do receive those funds annually. And just a few of the eligible activities are real property acquisition, rehab, residential properties, public services improvements, as well as planning and administration. And any of these funds that are used, they must be used to meet one of three national objectives, primarily to benefit low and moderate income families and individuals, to prevent or eliminate slums of life, and also to address community development needs having a particular urgency. And like the county and like the county and and the the city of Greensboro, we do receive home funds. And as mister Val alluded to, we were part of the Gilbert County consortium until around 2006, and then we were designated as our own participating jurisdiction so that we do receive a direct allocation of funding from HUD.

And, again, providing affordable housing that benefits low income households, expanding the capacity of housing providers, and leveraging private sector support are the primary focus. It's the primary focus for these funds. And we have used our funding specifically to support single family and multifamily new construction, a world down payment assistance, homebuyer education, and strategic planning efforts. For the 2526 program year, our CDBG allocation is $841,549. The home grant for allocation is $424,074, and we anticipate a small amount of program income from previous projects.

This could be housing rehabilitation loans or down payment assistance loans that we actually receive prepaid from. So that's a small amount of program income, giving us a total budget of about $1,333,000. And looking at the proposed use system, each year, we do have to submit an annual action plan. And so for the 2025 program year, this is the budget that we have proposed. Just like when you all are planning your budget, we are looking at our budgets and allocations around the January time frame.

And so we are pretty much at the point now that these are the funding recommendations that we are making to city council for approval for High Point's allocation for 2526. Normally, these one these plans are due in May, but the allocations were actually they were announced through May 13. So in fact, so High Point, we decided to delay submission of our annual action plan just so that we could make sure that we didn't have to come back and do any substantial amendments or anything. And so primarily the housing programs that we under the programs that we undertake are housing around affordable housing. We do have public service grants and those are the grants that housing homeless housing and homeless service providers or other nonprofits can apply for each year.

And we do have a small amount for that, which is $75,000. And we work with nonprofit housing developers. Those are called community housing development organizations or CHROTOs. Our homebuyer education classes, homebuyer education, and affordable housing administration, and down payment assistance. So those are primarily the activities that we anticipate undertaking for the twenty five, twenty six year.

So nothing specifically directed toward homeless activities. And for this particular grant year, we did not receive any applications from any of the homeless service providers in High Point, but we have traditionally funded organizations like the Monroe Ministries, West End Ministries, The Salvation Army, but this year, we just did not receive any applications. And then other funding that we do have available, our home park funds. The city of High Point received roughly $2,000,000, and so we have committed $1,000,000 of that to, a lie tech project that will produce 60, of most it's 60 units for families. And, we have allocated $50,000 to welfare reform liaison project, and that is a continuation of the emergency hotel assistance and that but our scope within our contract also includes rent utility assistance and security deposit to assist folks in securing permanent housing.

And we do have some of those funds set aside that will be used specifically for rent and utility assistance and eviction prevention, which will be allocated through an RFA process. And additional funding is also provided through our general fund, of course, through general fund and MARPA funds. And these are some of the organizations that the CDFI joint has funded for the 25.6 program a year. And included within these, we do fund the winter shelter for our agencies. There is some money for winter shelter as well as operations for some of the homeless service providers.

High Point also just approved funding for the evictions prevention program for the teen project. They approved that on Monday night of last week. At their council meeting, that was roughly $74,000. So we don't specifically, like I said, have funding that is geared toward homelessness. We don't receive any of our rates allocation for homeless programs, so we try to work within the CDBG home programs and our general fund, the the dollars that we received from the city.

And this was just a just to kinda look at the trends. I know that a lot of folks were all pretty much in the same boat, but when we look back over the last half years, we can see that there have not been any major fluctuations, but funding, it is trending downward. This year, I think we did end up with a net positive for '25, '26. We lost a little bit from home. We gained some on the CDG side. So are there any questions?

I just have one quick question, miss Worcester. Earlier, you said that there was one of your one of your grants that no one had applied for this year.

Right. We we do an RFA each year for nonprofit organizations, and we will be funding six organizations. We just didn't have any home service providers applied for those funds. Some have in the past. We just didn't no. None of them just applied this year.

We should be able to use those funds, though. You'll you'll find a a landing spot for those funds.

Absolutely. We have six organizations. We'll be funding senior resources, United Way of High Point, the High Point Housing Authority, YWCA, the ARC of High Point, and the the Salvation Group, one of their youth programs. So those funds will be expanded, and we will work with these partner agencies. We just didn't have any homeless service providers this year.

Additional questions for Ms. Wilson? Thank you. Next, we'll have Adam Greensboro, Greensboro Housing and Homelessness branch line. Thank you.

Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Cynthia. I'm assistant director for housing development at Sylvia Greensboro. And for anyone in the room who may not know the changes that have happened at Greensboro, back in November, our department separated off code enforcement into their own division and separated off the homeless services, the direct provision of services to homeless individuals to the office of community sacred. And so our department retains the actual direct housing activities, the production of housing, the rehabilitation of housing, the stability of housing, tenant rental assistance payments, things like that, tenant based rental assistance, all of that is gonna stay with our department.

So if we've got since we have a the seat receives four different sources of funding from HUD, and in totals about 5 and a half million dollars a year, we receive emergency solutions through the home investment partnership program, community development block grant, and housing opportunities for persons with AIDS. I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on the ones you've already heard about. So we've already done that one and that one. This chart here details only our dollars that are targeted towards homelessness. In total, emergency solutions grant, 207,000, all of that is targeted towards homelessness.

So that's that's all inclusive. Housing opportunities for persons with AIDS, that is actually a three county program that encompasses Randolph, Rockingham, and Guildford, and the total allocation for that was 1,200,000.0,

below 1,200,000.0.

Community development block grants, the 251,000 indicated there, that is what is targeted for services through the Office of Community Safety. Our total community development block grant was about 2 and a half million. And then the home investment partnership program, that is it looks like okay. They rolled HomeArt and Home again together in that. The City of Greensboro did receive a specific HomeArt allocation. If you want to go on, I think you break it down here.

So that is.

So in terms of what we are funding, the emergency shelter, again, that comes through Office of Community Safety. Eviction prevention, this is our work with the legal aid office and UNCG in the eviction court, actually providing assistance to tenants who do not have legal representation. And then we also have a limited pot of direct tenant assistance where we can pay those arrearages and a small amount of prospective rent to keep those tenants stable in house. That money is running out. That we're using up the last of our emergency rental assistance program funds.

We have a little bit of some CDG funds that are gonna be targeted there, but we're we're starting to run out of that money, and that's gonna become an issue as as we get further down the road with how to be able to keep folks stably housed. Permanent supportive housing, the hallmark dollars. We are currently coming out of the ground at Oakwood Park with 16 units of permanent supportive housing that is out of the corner of Bandelier and Thurmtown, and that that program is that those units are just getting underway. We also have some other units that you may be aware of, the observance centers rehabilitation that had the building at Holden Heights on Boulevard Street. That is back on track.

We got through the mold remediation process, and they are looking to finish up and have a grand opening probably in around the October time frame. So be watching for an announcement on that one. We are also actively working with a partner on plans for the buildings located at 817 Summit Avenue. For those of you who are familiar in Greensboro with Summit, that that would be the exec Summit Executive Center, which has been an eyesore and and a notorious hope problem for quite some time. So we acquired it. We have design work in process now, and we should be going to council in either late August or early September with the plans for that project.

And how many units would that be?

We're cutting down the unit size because it was just unlivable. At 25 units, people were living in hotel rooms. So we're looking at about 10 to 12 units at more of a 400 square foot per unit size to give people a better living environment. Cindy, what did you say

that target what was the population you're targeting with that?

That funding is a mix of housing opportunities for persons with AIDS and CPG funding. So some of the units are gonna have to be targeted for a period of time towards HOPWA eligible clients, and we are working with the Triad Health project as services provider on that project. And those

are all individuals. Right? No family school?

Not of that unit size. Yeah. They're all different studio units. So I'll be happy to get that one underway. And then going on oops.

I think you skipped ahead there.

I think this

So, yeah, then we have rapid rehousing. Those are ESG dollars. We work with the service center primarily on rapid rehousing. Rent, mortgage, and utilities assistance. PopUp provides permanent supportive housing as well as tenant and mortgage support.

And we work with community Central Carolina Health Network primarily for that one. The housing hotline through Hoots for Housing Coalition and then support housing. This is this 1,400,000 is a tenant based rental assistance program that we have developed with the Greensboro Housing Authority and should be going to cancel in either on either the August 19 or the September 2 council agenda date as soon as we can get all the remaining pieces of that one onto the council agenda that should be coming in.

Next. One question. Yeah. Go ahead, mister Karen. Yes. Can you give

us an update on the what's the?

The city does not have any participation in that. That's tiny house. Tiny house is Greensboro is doing that,

but we've not funded it. Are you asking about the old regency sign? Yeah.

Oh, Alex. Sorry. Up up on '29. Okay.

Yeah. '29.

Yeah. We have we have made a recommendation for DHIC to be the developer for that site. We're going through the rezoning process right now. We actually meet with the community tomorrow night and then and certain citizens in Northeast Greensboro next week. And then that recommendation is also coming to council. After the August rezoning meeting, he'll come in September to council.

And how would that work as far as who would collapse it from VA? Would you not qualify to stay there? Would it be all in for a winner?

Yes. So we I'll

get that that update. Andrea Harrell, assistant senior manager of public safety and the department of beauty safety involved under me. So and they do the Palat Homes. So we will move them back to Pomona Park. We're getting ready to put the RFP out to do that to provide direct services to the folks that would

be in the Palatins. More fun.

They're gonna go. Yes. Just like they were last winter. That RFP is getting ready to go out. It's gonna be 550,000 that we're gonna spend on winter sheltering between the Palatins and our winter emergency shelters at the churches and our partners.

That's just a holding place out there that will be used in?

They are being used. The Regency side is being used now. Now? But they can only stay up for six months per the commissioner of insurance. Then they have

to come down, and we can remove them. So we're gonna move them

back to Mona Park. And then next summer, we don't

have as to where they're

gonna go because the regency will be likely in construction at that point.

So who qualifies for it now? That's who's in charge of signing people to those The IRC. The IRC.

Okay.

When the when the public shelters move off, it's about when we'll be closing with DHIC to acquire the property. They will be doing two phases of low income housing tax credit applications. The first phase would be for seniors, and the second phase would be for families.

I thought that's some permanent place for

a townhouse in Yeah. Yeah.

Yes. If you can

make the permit. I wish we had a permanent location that the city owns that we could do some sort of housing other than the one

that we're working on now, but they did not identify that property.

And and then, miss Harrell, when when the recency side closes and we move back to the one part, we're also gonna be readding those two trailers. Is that right?

We may add up to five. Oh my. Even better.

Yes. We're building the infrastructure for up to

five. Beautiful.

There. Cindy, did you all No.

No. You got that.

I was just gonna ask. Did you say the Regency Inn once the palliative shelters are being moved off and is that's gonna be targeted towards seniors and families. Is that what you're saying?

It's gonna become two phases of a low income housing tax credit development. So we're gonna have the first phase as senior housing, and the second phase is families.

And how many units and units?

114 units overall. Okay.

The only thing I'll add, and you'll have a slide to this, our director of the community safety department is out sick today. But we do have another fund called the fund that we pay for homeless services out of. An RFP was put out for homeless services earlier this year, and we are putting out about $415,000 to seven different organizations for everything from a shelter, a day room, reentry, as well as a day labor program for unsheltered. So that's accurate.

And I believe that's it for the city group.

Other questions for Ms. Blue or the city staff of Greensboro? Hearing none. Thank you so very much.

Yes, chairman. The Siemens lead as well as our consultant corporation for support of housing, they are prepared on the August 12 to finalize the draft of the teacher claim. And so with that being said, if we can schedule the next task force meeting after as well, it will allow CSH as well as your chair and chair elect from the Buford County COC to come in and present their draft strategic plans and then get feedback from this body, and then they will also do a community listening session too.

Alright. What are doing already? Speak now. Sounds like that's the date. And a location that'll be shared later?

Excuse me. Can you all hear me?

Yes.

Hi. Sorry to interrupt. I know we're doing dates. CSH is not able to do the twenty fifth, and we were hoping to, share out the strategic plan with you all. Is there any way we could do the eighteenth or the nineteenth or the twenty seventh or the twenty eighth?

Yeah. Well well, we can't do the eighteenth, but she she did a few other days. She said the nineteenth, which one's seventh, the eighth. Nineteenth? Mhmm. No. That's canceled. Correct? Okay. Third, Tuesday. Yeah. And we're the third Monday. So eighteenth and nineteenth per hour. The twentieth is The twentieth? That's what I was doing. I don't I don't know if you said twentieth. Did you say twentieth? '25.

The twenty seventh or the twenty eighth. I can look at the twentieth while you all are looking.

Twenty seventh? Wednesday, the twenty seventh, 4PM. Any objections to that? Yeah. Think that looks good. I don't hear any objections. It sounds like Wednesday, August 27, 4PM, and a location to be determined. Yeah. Yeah. We'll we'll check on that one. Have to see if that one comes together. And it'll probably be up to you if we're available. Perfect. Unless the conditional business, we'll entertain a motion to adjourn. Move. We have a motion. Is there a second? Second. All those in favor, say aye. Aye.

Any opposed? You are adjourned. Thank you.
