Sorry so brief but times are very busy.
There are several items on your agenda this afternoon. One very important to me at this critical time during
which housing the unhoused is so critical is item 25. I was pleased to read that the update is moving forward. It
certainly included some important pieces and one hopes that a Housing First model focused on meeting the
RHNA goals is in fact the priority. In reviewing the housing ad hoc committee report I find it quite curious that
in terms of your stakeholders there were no housing advocates or other engaged people not attached to either
pass service providers or those in the building industry. I hope that will be rectified and as you move forward
and preparing the response to the next stage of planning to meet Rena goals you will include community
members like myself who are quite intrested in Being honest and forthcoming in our response. They see is truly
an opportunity to bring community gather to best understand what we need to do as a community to house those
across the spectrum of and comes past practices of building priorities and moderate and above moderate income
levels is not going to make a difference in a community where workforce and affordable housing is rare. You're
continuing the STR program contributes to the housing shortage we now find ourselves in
Item 3 – Section 8 – Changes yes. Plus increased need to build and acquire more vouchers and housing stock.
Item 14 – Mercy House K with CHIPP continues to concern me. They cherry pick those served and provide
little in way of consistent followup.
Item 16 – Yes any help can get to our unhoused friends and their pets
Item 21 YES Broadband support to those who don’t have the resources or infrastructure to support the many
needs for adequate connection. Families with children and work from home most in need. Is this enough?
Thank you
