Did you want to speak now, sir, or at a different item? Please, we're ready for you. Come on up. You have three minutes. Yes.

Well, thank you for letting me speak. My name is Frank Hyming. I've been a citizen of Riverside, I guess, for 60 or so years and been very active in the community. When the whole university quality in project was being discussed, it piqued my interest in the whole homelessness issue. So I started doing a whole bunch of research. I looked up the county of Riverside's point in time count, which I guess the last one they did was May of 25, and they listed the top reasons for homelessness in Riverside on page 112. And the highest one was family disruption with 34%. And I really, I didn't believe it. I thought, well, no, it's got to be drugs, you know, mental illness. But it turns out I've interviewed personally over 40 homeless individuals in Riverside, and believe it or not, They all have stories about their mom in jail, their dad on drugs, their grandfather whom they were living with dying, and the house being sold out from under them, and the divorce, and the this and the that. So there was a lot of family disruption. Lack of income came in second at 16%, and unemployment third at 11%. Also, they asked them what their living situation was before the count. 39% said they were on the street, 16% said they were living in vehicles, 17% in tents or sheds, and 12% in encampments and 5% in parks. So that pretty much covers it. I was initially against the university project. Sean knows. I actually called him and said, oh, I used to be a major in urban studies, and I know all about the housing projects of the 60s and the public housing and how it all failed. And so I don't think it's such a great idea. But since that time, I've been out there, and I've been talking to homeless people and discovering some of what their problems are. And I see that they could benefit with a project like the university project in many ways. So I'm going to enumerate some of the ways that they could benefit. First of all, it would be a safe place to sleep. Right now, living on the street is not a safe place to sleep. You could get mugged, not only by other homeless people, but by teenagers or drunks. Number two, it's a place to store their belongings. Number three, it's a place to go to the bathroom. Number four, it's a place to take a shower or to clean up. Number five, it's a place that they could keep their pet if they have one. Number six, it's a place where they could get water. That's it? Can I...

So those three minutes are up for that time. However, I will say we have three more items coming up. And if you wanted to add a public comment card for any other discussion calendar items, you may.

Okay.

Yes. And then you'll have three different minutes. So we do have one that's a homeless, this action plan coming up. So if you wanted to add some more comments there, you're welcome to.

Okay.

okay well yes okay i wanted two things oh well no we have to end now i apologize so it's three minutes only for this public comment all right i said we have a couple more items coming up where if you want to submit a new speaker card you may and then you could have another three minutes to add a couple more comments sounds like you might have some suggestions thank you sir uh we don't have any other common cards in the chambers i'm looking if there's any other callers online not seeing any looking actually looking the team's really quick one moment shaking in the back no callers wonderful thank you so we're gonna go ahead and close public comment and we will now come to our first discussion for our discussion calendar but our first item is to receive Housing Authority project updates and our presenter is Ben Morales Ben feel free nope somebody else Oh, I apologize. My notes in front of me have something different. So please, Agrippina, fantastic. Please come up. I apologize.

Oh, if Ben wants to do everything. Oh, do we have our presentation up? There we go. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Agrippina Neubauer from the Housing Authority with the project update. I know it feels like it's been a while since I've been here. The Housing Authority currently has 336 affordable housing units in the pipeline. Of these, there are 17 density bonus law units and 10 California Housing Crisis Act units. We have a further 24 permanent supportive housing units in the pipeline and another 41 transitional housing units. We expect to have 90 of these units online and occupied before the end of this calendar year, with another 49 done in 2027 and the majority coming on in 2028 and beyond. Of the units that we currently have in the pipeline, 113 are for individuals or households at 30% of the area median income, 157 for people at 50%, and 131 at 80% of the area median income or below. I do just want to point out that of these units, that is the max. Some of them might end up rolling down into the lower income limits. so some of those 131 units for 80 ami might end up becoming 50 or even 30 units mulberry gardens is still under construction we're very excited the senior phase is getting very very close to completion we should actually start seeing a leasing office open here at the end of july beginning of august our staff is working with county and eden housing to identify qualifying seniors to live there and i know that there will be some units that are kind of open for the public at large and so as soon as i have a date on how people can access those apartment units i will let everyone know so we can get as many people a fair shot at those units as possible The family phase of the project is also under construction and that should be coming along the same time next year. The 14th Street project by Path of Life, it still has in-design review and we're still looking at funding and budgets for it. University Avenue, the bid for demolition was approved by City Council on May 19th. And so General Services and the Purchasing Department are working on getting those contracts in place so we can get this building demolished. And then the next step will be going out to RFP to build something amazing in its place. Patterson Senior Housing. This is by the Retirement Housing Foundation. This should be 64 units for seniors. They are currently applying for different funding sources. And like I said, the final unit mix, which is what income levels will be, will be determined by the final funding awards that they get. Grapevine in Ward 1. This is the Mission Inn project that's right next to the successor agency site. We are looking at getting 10 affordable housing units on Mission Inn. There has been a lot of delays in this project, but Grapevine has recently partnered with the Riverside Housing Development Corporation. And so we are very hopeful that that new partnership will get this project going. MPHS has put in some applications for some infill home ownership projects that we are very excited about. So this one is for the site at 2666 14th Street. And this will be a home ownership project, a single family house to a low income first time home buyer. The place, this is part of our Hewlin campus. This will be operated by the Riverside University Health Systems, Behavioral Health. It will have housing for 31 people who have mental health issues who need that additional support. The construction is almost done. I think they are waiting on their final, final inspections before getting certificate of occupancy, and then they can go ahead and start housing people. The Riverside Access Center, which is just two doors down, is also going through a major remodel right now. So the HVAC system and the interior spaces are being completely redone. And the Access Center staff has been relocated. They're moving around. But once it is completed, there will be a lot more availability for them to provide those personalized one-on-one services for their clients. Crest Community Church on Mount Vernon is currently looking for funding. When completed, this will be about 10 transitional housing for families and transitional aged youth. This is youth who are aging out of foster system. A conditional use permit has been approved, and we are working with them to identify further funding opportunities. Habitat for Humanity is also looking at doing a home ownership project on Garden Street. This will be the development of 13 single family houses with eight ADUs. We are still looking at funding opportunities for them. We have just let them know about another private funding opportunity through the Citibank Foundation. So hopefully they can get that million dollars and that'll go a long way to doing this. We have also had a lot of talks about how we will set up the single-family housing and the adus because the adus will be rental and the housing the single-family houses will be for home ownership and finding that balance between those two projects sunrise at bogart this is another neighborhood partnership housing services project it will be 22 permanent supportive housing units it is currently under construction and we are expecting this to be online by the end of year hopefully Excuse me. Another one of their proposed infill home ownership projects is going to be on Gould Street. And again, this will be for low income first time homebuyers. We currently have four density bonus projects in in various stages of development and construction. So these are projects where market rate developers have elected to add additional units for lower income families so that they can put more units on the same land and reduce costs for everyone. We still have our 10 very low income units to offset the projects for the Housing Crisis Act. And our transformative climate communities grant has come to an end. And we had over 2,000 trees planted for a goal of just 1,000. We installed over 50 solar grids on private homes for lower income households. We did lots of xeriscaping. And we had over 100 residents obtain employment through our workforce development training. we are also currently in the process of applying for the new upcoming tcc grant and so we are setting our goals right now and our service area so hopefully we will see a lot more really interesting projects come out of that we recommend that the housing and homelessness committee receive the update on their housing authorities projects and that is the end of my presentation i'm available if you have any questions

Thank you so much. Just seeing if we have any public, I don't have any public comment cards for this item, seeing if there's any callers online. And then I'll come back to my colleagues to see if there's any questions, comments. the only thing i'd ask um if we could for future which i think i mentioned before but i'm just i don't know if it just got slipped through but i think it'd be helpful if we could get an overview from um our planning or where we're at with market rate projects as well just to get a whole picture um i think i've had some folks reach out to the community to ask about those so even if it could just be we don't have to go as thoroughly through maybe some of like the housing authority sites but it could say you know these are the ones per ward in pipeline as well that are meeting this criteria um just i think to help to provide again the full picture of where we are building housing across the board okay thank you perfect thank you so much for the update next we have successor agency owned properties update and i was like presenter coming down ben morales appreciate you being here ben feel free to get an update all right

Afternoon, everyone. Afternoon, Mayor Pro Tem and Council Members Mill and Cervantes. Thanks for your time. Ben Morales, Real Property Services Manager. I'm here to update you on successor agency status properties.

All right.

So, We have, on our long-range property management plan, we have two different types of categories, enforceable obligations. An example of that would be any financial commitments, any bond debt or financial obligations that we have. And then our properties for sale, which are nine remaining. And I'm going to march through the status of those here. So for our four enforceable obligations, we have the Cow Tower building, which we're currently in negotiations with DGS on that. We also have the Raincross Promenade phase two. We're working with Coral Reef Development. California Square, which is a land exchange agreement with CSP approved in November, 2026. This is making some progress, which is great. So ExxonMobil is working on the water board remediation. It looks like we're gonna be able to start moving that property an issue in NOA in 2027, which maybe doesn't sound very soon, but at the same time this property had an amount of environmental cleanup. And additionally, the last enforceable obligation is 1910 University Avenue. All right, for so for our cow tower building, this is kind of our, our latest just to give you some, some status. So as I mentioned, we are working with DGS, we've been we're on our third round of red lines on the on the agreement. And just for everyone's awareness, this will need to come to successor agency and go to the county oversight board as well as be approved by DOF. So unfortunately, that might take a good chunk of the remainder of this year. Just just for everyone's awareness. We're working hard to have that completed. Right across Promenade 2, this is with Coral Reef Development Group. We are working on a PSDA with them, and we're also making sure that they're new to our region, and we want to make sure that they're going to perform and have the financial capability to build this project. It has been some time since we've selected them, and we are starting to get interest from other developers. I'm recommending that we make a decision on whether they're the right developer for us or if we start opening it up for others to consider since that's such a great property to develop on. California Square property, this is the one that I was mentioning with ExxonMobil working to clean up that remediation. So we're gonna issue an NOA in early 2027 and that allows for all that finalization of that paperwork and that cleanup on the environmental remediation.

1910 University Avenue.

We got some good interest here. We have an exempt surplus declaration. We did previously have a developer who was interested. They fell out of escrow, but we have a new developer interested as well, and we're taking a look at that. what that project looks like and if it works well for that particular site. He's also looking at combining this site with 3870 Ottawa, which is right across the street. All right, and here's a rundown of all the properties that Successor Agency has for sale, two of which are in play. So you'll see the second from the bottom, Madison at Railroad. We had a great meeting with the developer last week. We're really close. And I'm really pushing for this one to go to oversight board in September. So we're going to wrap up that negotiation. And then another is one that Agrippina, or I'm sorry, excuse me, the housing authority was mentioned, 2731, 2871 University Avenue. That's the one that's combined with the housing mission in property. So those two are already in play and and about 90 there so so really our property for sale is actually down to seven and then additionally i'm going to go through each of these to give you a bit of a status or or you could see what what that status looks like we have been working on these so this particular property for a minute we did have some great interest from seven leaves cafe they fell off but we have a really good opportunity for an office building that we're looking at and That looks like a good project, and that just came in early May. So we're taking a look at that use. Next we have 2015, 2025, and 2039 University Avenue. As you can see, here's the rundown of all the history here. We issued an NOA in 2023, an RFP in 24, and We're working with Even Housing on this particular project. We're just looking for a little bit, helping them with some funding. But we really do like what they've proposed here. 2227 and 2243. We're working with, had a meeting recently with Mr. Hobbs, early May. He's really interested in taking advantage of our new incentive program, density bonus. So that's going to help this project pencil with those additional units. 2585 and 2617. We're working with Grapevine development on this particular one and taking a closer look at their financials. So we got that information early May as well. So we're taking a look at that and working with them. And they're looking at also those density bonus options as well along University Avenue. And then this particular corner is the site at the corner of University and Park with 64 units. We brought this in January to Council and then to Oversight Board as well. We're in escrow, and then the next step is for, this is the one that's combined with the housing authority parcel for an additional 10 units. They're making good progress on that as well. We're in escrow on ours, and then it's contingent upon it working out with housing. So we're really close on that as well. So excited for that project to proceed, as it's a total of, what, 74 units. So that's exciting. And 3870 Ottawa, which has been kind of across the street from 1910 University. Roger Hobbs Development is interested in this as well, and he's looking at taking advantage of the density bonus program, which was just implemented. So it took, and we've met with the developers and given them a couple of reviews of how that transfer process works. So it's taken us some time to implement the program and then for the developers to understand how to execute it. 6963 Streeter Avenue. This is right across the street from this year's tower building. We do get a lot of interest on this site. It also has an issue with it being close to the airport and being within that designated zone. So that limits the amount of housing that you can build there. But we are working with some smaller developers to see if there's interest in maybe putting a unit and an ADU, something of that sort. When you look at the site, it looks like it could really handle up to 10 to 12 units, but when you consider the airport proximity, that doesn't allow you for that much density. All right, Madison at railroad, like I mentioned, we just met with overland development and railroad storage LLC last week, we're really close on finalizing our PST DA with them. And really pushing to get that on the agenda for successor to approve and then to oversight board to approve September mid September. And those negotiations are going well. And I anticipate that happening this summer. 8717 Indiana Avenue. All right, let's see. So we're working with Riverside Housing Development on this one, and trying to find the right amount, the right mixture of financing as well for this project. I left this on here. This one actually is already sold and closed, but I figured you'd appreciate an update. Mr. Hobbs is preparing his plans and anticipates submitting those for our review and consideration this summer, looking at August. So that has already been closed and is owned by the developer. Now we're just waiting for him finalize design and share his design with us. Lastly, we also on June 10th had a developer day to get interest from new developers and then are really pushing all of our incentives along University Avenue and also density bonus programming. So really, really working hard with developers to support them and get these sites developed. With that, our recommendation is that this committee receives this report and update to the successor agency properties. That concludes my report. I'm happy to answer any questions that you might have.

Thank you so much. We'll start with going to public comment. I don't have any comment cards for this item in the chambers. Seeing if we have any online before we come back to committee. Checking. No callers. Okay, great.

I think it's for the next item.

Okay. Frank, are you okay waiting for the next item to speak? Action plan? Okay. Okay. I love it. Great. Happy to have you here. Thank you. We'll close public comment then since we don't have any other comments for the chamber and come back to committee. Questions? Comments? Nope. Only one I wanted to flag and ask for Ward 2. We have Wards 1 and 2. The Grapevine 1, I think there's interest. I think it was the 2020, looking at which address it was. But we have a couple of different sites. No, it wasn't the 20. I think 2585. I think recently a developer reached out to staff to ask for a status update, so if we can please get back to them, that would be great.

Definitely.

And did we have a date tentatively? It looked kind of to Michelle or you. I'm not sure if we would know. I think we were supposed to have something coming back to council in August to help to finalize the park and university site as well, which has been a long, long time coming. Do we have an update on that? Okay. Okay, wonderful. Yes, if we can expedite to get that going, that would be fantastic. Just know that that's also been one that, you know, they say time is money, and I know that the developer has been working for several years, I think seven years, to see this get across the finish line. So I would love to be able to help us to get that on as soon as we can, looking at our Mirror Pro Tem agenda, on our future council agenda. Thank you so much. I know. Well, no, no. Just, you know, not sure where conversations are at. But thank you so much. Wonderful. I think that's all we have for that item. And then we'll move on to our last item for discussion, and that's going to be to receive our homelessness action plan updates. And we have Michelle Davis that will be giving that update. And then when we are done with the presentation, we'll open up public comment, and then we'll welcome you back up, sir, to come and give your three more minutes. Go ahead.

so i am filling in for megan stowe this afternoon so good afternoon housing and homeless committee members city staff and guests it is a pleasure to be in front of you this afternoon to present on the homeless action plan review process at last month's committee meeting megan stowe presented on the homeless action plan update and today's presentation builds on that discussion by outlining the structured process we will use to review assess and identify proposed updates to the plan Today's item is to receive and file a presentation on the review process for the City's Homelessness Action Plan. This process will allow the committee and staff to assess progress, evaluate current strategies, and identify updates needed to align with evolving conditions and priorities. Staff will also seek the committee's input and recommendations to help guide updates prior to bringing a revised plan forward to City Council. The Homelessness Action Plan was adopted by City Council on October 11, 2022. It was developed in collaboration by the Office of Homeless Solutions and this committee. The plan aligned with the Envision Riverside 2025 Strategic Plan, Housing First Policy, the prior committee goals, and regional coordinated efforts. It establishes a comprehensive framework built around six core goals, which include increased housing production with a focus on affordability, increased availability of services, Prevent homelessness, emergency shelter, expand public awareness, coordinated regional infrastructure. The Homelessness Action Plan is intended to function as a living document. Since adoption, there have been changes in funding requirements, legislative and policy updates, evolving service demands, and ongoing implementation progress across all goal areas. This review process ensures that the plan remains data-driven, operational relevant, aligned with City Council priorities, and responsive to the community needs. The plan will be reviewed through six dedicated committee sessions, each focused on one of the plan's goals. Each session will follow a consistent four-step format. It will first review of the current goal objectives, the progress and implementation timelines, the legislative and policy impacts, and the proposed updates and recommendations. Staff at this time, we are recommending that one goal be presented to the committee each month. The first goal, the housing presentation, would be anticipated for presentation in August of 2026, and the final goal, coordinated regional infrastructure, is anticipated for January of 2027. At the conclusion of the review process, staff will return with a comprehensive set of recommendations and a draft updated homelessness action plan for the committee's conceptual approval prior to forwarding it to City Council for consideration. So at this time, staff is requesting that the committee receive and file a presentation on the review process to assess and identify proposed updates to the Homelessness Action Plan and provide feedback and any recommendations deemed necessary regarding the review process and proposed updates to the Homeless Action Plan. That concludes my presentation, and I'm available to answer any questions, even a notepad full of questions.

Wonderful. Thank you so much. Well, we'll now go to our, come back to our public comment and open it up. And so I have, we'll leave a few minutes for the phone lines, but sir, please come back up to join us again. Frank Hamink. And you have three minutes.

Oh, I'll try to be fast. OK, to summarize where I left off, I was originally against the university project. And now I feel that for all the reasons I stated, it would really be helpful. I'd also like to address something that I've missed. Clarissa, you must have come up with once before, living in cars. Prevention is an important part of homelessness and to me living in a car is like one step before living on the street and certainly the police impounding the car for tags that are out of date or whatever other reason is just exacerbating the problem. I'd like to suggest maybe a toned-down parking, perhaps with churches, where each church would be allowed up to maybe five vehicles. There would be all kinds of rules. They'd have to have their plates, the names of the people, and how long they could stay there. But we could have a safe parking area at churches with proper rules. Finally, I've been working with the homeless on street cleanup. Hopefully you've noticed this past weekend we cleaned up the railroad tracks at Mary. We've cleaned up the railroad tracks at Madison and the Home Depot parking lot and many other locations throughout the city. And it's working quite well. The homeless are happy to do it. Can't even tell you how many bags of litter we've picked up. We've been doing it for about two months. But I'd like to look into, and I've talked to Keep Riverside Clean and Beautiful about a litter-free Riverside program, maybe encouraging the homeless to be part of that, but also other community members. And I think we could achieve something like that.

Wonderful. Thank you, sir. And you have a whole minute left to go. I appreciate you. Any questions? No, we can't ask questions to our speakers, but thank you. Thank you for coming down here today. I appreciate you. And just want to say thank you for your community service and helping to support with the cleanup efforts and to help beautify. I'm very grateful. Thank you. And looking to see, we have no other speaker cards. Did want to see if there were any callers. Okay, perfect. No callers. So we will go ahead and close and we will come back. So looking to Vice Chair Mill. Or Council Member Robillard? Yeah. Council Member Robillard, then we'll go to the Vice Chair.

Thank you for this. Most of my stuff is going to be handled as we move forward through this process, and we'll focus on individual items. And the regional coordination piece, I know it's next year when we finally get to that piece, but I think that's, in a lot of ways, in my opinion, the most serious issue that we need to deal with. And I know there's varying levels of participation, and it's not just one agency. It's lots of other agencies that we deal with. And also, it's not just agencies. It's nonprofits and individuals who are just doing kind of their own thing, and it makes it really hard to kind of quantify and kind of track people. Where things are going, but I think when that item does come up maybe we can kind of coordinate as we get closer to it to kind of like a Swap some notes on what my concerns are before you get to that presentation and And maybe that would be helpful, too, for some of the other items as we're coming forward if you want to reach out. So you can prepare your report in such a way that it can kind of answer the questions before we have the report and we're asking questions on the spot. And so I think that would be helpful moving forward. That's it for me.

Thank you so much. Vice Chair DeMille?

Thank you. And I'll spare you my 10 pages of notes, Michelle. We'll have plenty of time to go over them in the coming months. Just some things I want to put on your radar is I believe that the most successful systems that we're looking at now, we're seeing them increasingly using interim and bridge housing. with stabilization platform where people are receiving treatment before transitioning into permanent housing. So I had mentioned a couple of places. So just to look into some examples, I did a little research into some examples of what I'm talking about. So when we get to that piece, we can talk about them more. Some of them are here locally. We could probably even go and visit. The Midnight Mission in LA, they're you know, they're very big on services, you know, transitioning into permanent housing after treatment, and they've seen high rates of sobriety amongst their program grads, so I think that would be a good place for us to go and talk to. I mentioned Haven for Hope out of San Antonio. We can probably research that. They emphasize stabilization and treatment before independent living. I mentioned Central City Concern, which is based in Portland, Oregon, and I know you're taking a family vacation to Portland, so what better place to take the family than to Central City Concern in Portland and maybe see what they're doing there. Again, they focus a lot on treatment before transitioning into permanent housing. Also, another local organization would be the Union Rescue Mission in L.A. They operate extensive interim housing and recovery programs, and the reports I've seen from there show the individuals completing the treatment programs are much more likely to maintain permanent housing than those who just receive housing assistance alone. So those are some things. And then also what they're doing in San Jose, and I know we're going to be meeting with San Jose officials to talk about what they're doing there. They're transitioning a lot towards the interim and bridge housing as part of their housing, their homeless strategy. So those are things, you know, maybe we can look at those things as we get to that piece. But I really think we need to go heavier on interim and bridge housing, focusing a lot on treatment. Those are the areas that I think we really need to strengthen. We don't need to reinvent the wheel. We need to look and see where it's been successful elsewhere and see how we can incorporate it here.

Thank you so much. Appreciate the list of several things we could look into and explore, which has been some of the efforts I know that we've looked into in the past. I know there was a safe parking program mentioned here by one of our residents, and we took a trip down to San Diego to explore what they were doing and successful in some spaces, and I know that there's other areas that there's still safe camping that has been ongoing work. But I know that there was interest. We kind of took a pause off because we started looking into some sites just for a little update share of community with the Safe Parking Program. There were some folks who reached out and asked, what's the status? We were looking at one church site in Ward 2. The site, unfortunately, didn't end up meeting. It would have been able to say, frankly, one, challenges with septic issues, and then number two, the cost once we try to solve those issues. But not to say there aren't other locations in hopefully the ward or even other parts of the city, but I think we wanted to start in an area where we had initiated express interest from a local congregation. But since then, we've had, when we put a pause to kind of see what could Netsoaks look like, there have been other groups that have reached out, other congregations that have said, could my site or our parking lot be an option? And so I love that our resident here that spoke to say, could there be small pilots you know maybe caps that we can explore because one thing we are learning and I've continued to learn to be educated on is how there are high numbers of people that are sleeping in their cars and that includes children families that are enrolled in our school districts here so how are we again making sure that we're keeping them in safe places I'm sorry sir we can't accept comments from the audience but I'll connect with you after the after the meeting And so just to share, there's a lot of work and I'll echo what my colleague said. And I know there has been a lot of ongoing regional coordinated efforts, but I think we need to continue, of course, to strengthen those and continue to make sure that partners are really sharing with each other where they're stepping up as a collectively to contribute to how they're solving the issues city by city. Because sometimes we can feel like we're taking a burden and we are the biggest city here in the region. But how can we make sure that Again, this is a team effort, right, what we have to do here together. So I really do appreciate the feedback, comments, and I think we need to continue to explore models that have proven solutions, right, for helping to get people from being unhoused to housed or even the most important thing I feel is preventative. And I think that's the core of a lot of what we have to keep getting back to. But thank you for this, and we'll look forward to continuing the dialogue. Awesome. we'll close up now then uh some other other updates for our homeless action plan and we'll move to communications legislative update seeing if we have our legislative representative on the line and then from the city manager's office okay no problem we'll go ahead and skip that and then items for future housing homelessness nope there's one item i'll bring oh i see we have our director does and i'll mention quickly um i would like and it did already pass through council but i think i want to bring it back because there was questions that came up around Essentially, it was about drop-off of individuals coming in from potentially outside the city. and have had a number of questions about it because it didn't go through committee. So I do think it'd be appropriate for us as a committee to review, you know, get an understanding of how that's supposed to be implemented. And then we can see if there is maybe potential, any feedback we could give or, again, even potentially just get asked, public can come and ask questions to get clarification because I think there's just questions about how that's going to look from service providers, nonprofit groups, and other folks in the community. But then I'll turn over to Michelle now. And did you have a feature item?

Yeah, we had the Community Economic Development Department planning staff had reached out to see if they could present on the housing element tools, implementation tools update, and then also the pro-housing designation. Our designation expires in January, but we want to get ahead of it to bring to the committee what is the new scoring criteria, And how do we get to the designation again? And what will it take? And is there the appetite for the designation based on the things that might have to be implemented? So the planning team wants to present that way in advance so we can get ahead of it.

Great. Sounds good. I'll work with you then for scheduling for the committee calendar. Wonderful. Thank you. All right. And we'll go ahead and we'll close up J412. Thank you all for joining and tuning in. Have a great rest of your day.
