November 4, 2016 Oregon Housing Stability Council Minutes Chair Dickson asked for a motion from the Council. Councilmember Fieldman made the motion found on page 30 and Councilmember Baney seconded the motion. Chair Dickson then called for the vote: Arthur Street Duplexes Council member Motion Yes No Abstain Excused Tammy Baney 2 nd X Mike Fieldman X X Anna Geller X Zee Koza X Adolph “Val” Valfre X Chair Aubré Dickson X Vote: 6:0:0:0 | PASS Discussion: Chair Dickson asked what the plan was for the money remaining in the Mental Health Housing funding source. Ms. Cody told the Council that the OHCS staff in partnership with OHA and stakeholders will be meeting to evaluate this NOFA and discuss ways to allocate the remaining funds. They are committed to awarding the remaining funds as quickly as possible. Once the recommendations are crafted, the workgroup will present their recommendations to the steering committee for consideration and direction. Ms. Cody also told the Council that they will be coming back before the Council with an update in the next month or so. Councilmember Fieldman wondered if there were barriers that were making application for the funds more difficult. Ms. Cody said the workgroup and OHCS staff will be brining recommendations before the Council as soon as possible. Councilmember Geller asked how the workgroup and OHCS staff would ensure geographic diversity. Ms. Cody told the Council that the workgroup had other mechanisms by which they could ensure geographic diversity for this NOFA. Councilmember Geller expressed her desire to have this NOFA process be respectful to the whole state. It is currently easier for the Portland area to apply and receive funding. Councilmember Fieldman said that he noticed that all five projects were within urban areas in the state. He wondered if there were barriers that are making it harder for the rural communities to apply for these funds. Ms. Detweiler told the Council that the workgroup would be addressing ways in which those barriers can be removed. Councilmember Valfre said this was an example which the agency and Council could encourage the rural areas of the state to pursue. It might be good to find ways to get greater rural participation in this type of NOFA in the future. Ms. Cody told the Council that the workgroup is planning to look at all of the areas mentioned to increase the rural participation. Chair Dickson called for a recess at about 10:08am. Chair Dickson called the meeting back to order at approximately 10:20am and invited the Director to give her report to the Council. Oregon Housing Stability Council Meeting Materials Packet - Page 8
November 4, 2016 Oregon Housing Stability Council Minutes Report of the Director – Ms. Salazar told the Council she was thrilled to be here as the new Director. She then provided the Council with a brief overview of her work biography. Ms. Salazar then expressed her appreciation for the work done by Claire Seguin in her role as the Interim Director. She provided an update on the data systems modernization project. This project is intended to bring the Multifamily and Asset Management sections an integrated system to process work and track the OHCS housing inventory. The plan is to have this new system in place by the Fall of 2017. The LIFT NOFA closed on October 31 st . She thanked Julie Cody, Natasha Detweiler and Heather Pate for all of their hard work in crafting and releasing the NOFA. She also thanked Kenny La Point and Kim Travis for the work they did hosting the LIFT information sessions around the state. Director Salazar also provided the Council with a synopsis of the LIFT applicants: the agency received 17 applications, requesting $61 million dollars that represented a total of 1243 units. The applications still have to go through review and scoring before the agency will know which projects will meet the requirements. There is great representation from both urban and rural communities. Given the number of applications and the amount of funding requested the Director believes that is great interest in the LIFT program. Ms. Salazar then had Rem Nevins introduce the newest member of the Public Affairs team, Ariel Nelson. Rem introduced Ms. Nelson to the Council. Ms. Salazar then asked Julie Cody to come up and provide some updates on Housing Finance workgroups. 1. The 4% LIHTC Ad Hoc workgroup has been launched and there has been some good work done so far. Ultimately there will be a recommendation brought before the Council. 2. The resident services fees issues that Ms. Cody and her team were planning to address by forming a workgroup seem to have been worked out through the NOFA process. She plans to have a public meeting and stakeholder outreach instead. 3. There is a plan in place to also address the gap funding options with stakeholder involvement in the workgroup. A recommendation will be coming to this Council for consideration at a future date. 4. Preservation and Asset management fees – OHCS portfolio preservation (big P as well as little P preservation). OHCS is in the process of forming the workgroup. Councilmember Geller would like to be considered as a member of the group working on asset management fees.
