public and private funding

37
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:34,640
nrsas can significantly impact

38
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,200
communities by constructing new housing

39
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,680
expanding home repairs improving

40
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,439
neighborhood conditions

41
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:43,600
creating and retaining jobs and

00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,920
businesses in the area

43
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,600
and as you'll see a little later on the

44
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,799
boundaries of the target area that we

45
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:54,240
have identified for this nrsa starts at

46
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,479
12th avenue north to the west

47
00:01:56,479 --> 00:01:58,960
22nd street north to the south

48
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,680
dartmouth avenue to the east and 35th

49
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,000
street to the north so generally if

50
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,560
you're in bessemer you know where the tracks divide north and south side

51
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,440
we've carved out an area that includes a

52
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,840
little bit of both on both sides and

53
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,080
this is an area where we're looking to

54
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,440
um

55
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,319

and what

123
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,000
will be done in terms of ongoing

124
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,960
accountability

125
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,440
uh so let me just

126
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,240
slide so we'll be recording this session

127
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,759
and we'll

128
00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:24,720

130
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,240
uh for you to ask questions you can

either put up your your hand electronically

132
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:39,520
and then ask a question

133
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,479
or you can put questions or comments in

134
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:44,320

um and you know we welcome your ideas

136
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,199
and participation we want this to be

137
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:53,840
a conversation

138
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,800
with you to get your input on some of

139
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:02,150
the ideas

140
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,440
okay

141
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,840
so again just by way of background the

142
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:08,080
city of decimal receives federal

143
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,400
community development block grant funds

144
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,280
from the u.s department of hud

145
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:16,000
and these funds are typically used to

146
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,400
create affordable housing

147
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,759
improve the living environments of um

148
00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:25,759
areas that are primarily um

149
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:27,600
low-income

150
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,880
areas

151
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,960
create jobs and other economic

152
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,479
opportunities

153
00:06:32,479 --> 00:06:36,000
and these are primarily to assist

154
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,880
low-income areas and low-income persons

155
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,000
individuals and households although

156
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,240
the um

157
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,440
nrc does provide the opportunity to have

158
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,120
a mix of incomes in a community which um

159
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,680
tends to enhance the

160
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,000
um the community

161
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:04,629
um by bringing a mix of incomes and

162
00:07:04,639 --> 00:07:05,840
skills and

163
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:08,960
talents and expertise to that community

164
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,880
so let me just um

165
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,000
pass over to um

166
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,599
gary

167
00:07:15,599 --> 00:07:21,589
just

168
00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:25,350
carrier on newton

169
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,759
i apologize sorry for that

170
00:07:27,759 --> 00:07:28,560
so

171
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,080
um the nrsa

172
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,280
provides a greater flexibility under the

173
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,520
cdbg program

174
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,919
basically there are opportunities to

175
00:07:39,919 --> 00:07:42,479
expand

176
00:07:42,479 --> 00:07:46,000
activity investments that are otherwise

177
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,120
capped under the regular program and it

178
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,599
allows you some more flexibility

179
00:07:51,599 --> 00:07:56,879
to address your unique needs to the area

180
00:07:56,879 --> 00:07:59,120
one thing that we do know from previous

181
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,120
nrsas is that

182
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,240
they often attract significant leveraged

183
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,319
private and public funding investments

184
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:08,400
outside of cdbg

185
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,400
and we do want to point out that this

186
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,479
application in no way

187
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:14,479
constitutes an application for

188
00:08:14,479 --> 00:08:15,599
additional

189
00:08:15,599 --> 00:08:17,360
cdbg funds

190
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,879
this only allows you to concentrate your

191
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:22,479
current resources

192
00:08:22,479 --> 00:08:24,960
and leverage other private and public

193
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,840
funding as well into this into the in

194
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,879
our sa area

195
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:33,200
it also provides an opportunity as chris

196
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,800
mentioned to

197
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200
provide assistance to households that

198
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,880
are generally

199
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,519
above what would be the limitations

200
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:43,440
under the regular program which is set

201
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,200
at 80 percent of area immediate income

202
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,200
this provides for an opportunity to

203
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,560
assist households up to 120 percent of

204
00:08:52,560 --> 00:08:55,600
area median income

205
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,040
it also provides opportunity to do job

206
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,519
creation and retention

207
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:03,760
and that is an activity that quite

208
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,560
honestly a lot of cdbg grantees across

209
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:09,600
the country shy away from because

210
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,000
there's so much documentation

211
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,959
necessary in order to do activities like

212
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:16,720
job creation

213
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,959
this allows you to do that with a lot

214
00:09:18,959 --> 00:09:22,480
less of that red tape and paperwork

215
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,360
and the cost per job

216
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,720
is

217
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,360
higher under an nrsa than it would be

218
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,959
under a regular cdbg program

219
00:09:32,959 --> 00:09:35,120
it also provides an excellent

220
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,880
opportunity to bring in

221
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,399
new partners partners that can duplicate

222
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:42,800
activities that the city can undertake

223
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,440
themselves but this is a chance for what

224
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,519
we call community-based development

225
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,120
organizations

226
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,360
to carry out the same activities as the

227
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,640
city would in an nrsa

228
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,720
it also allows for

229
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,680
cities to expend more funds on needed

230
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,839
public services within the area

231
00:10:02,839 --> 00:10:05,920
again a higher amount can be spent on

232
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,760
public services than

233
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,920
in the regular cdbg program which is

234
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,680
capped at 15

235
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:15,279
there is no cap under an nrsa

236
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:17,040
so these partnerships between the

237
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,040
government private sector and community

238
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,399
organizations often uh non-profits also

239
00:10:22,399 --> 00:10:24,800
resident small businesses

240
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,640
this this provides for a great

241
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,720
opportunity to implement

242
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,440
a successful nrsa

243
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:40,790
next slide

244
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,560
so some of the criteria and and it is

245
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:47,040
i would say rather

246
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,079
challenging to design

247
00:10:50,079 --> 00:10:54,160
uh and put together uh an nrsa with that

248
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,800
will meet this criteria in order to get

249
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,560
hud's approval

250
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:01,839
but again hud reserves approval of these

251
00:11:01,839 --> 00:11:05,600
nrsas to areas which have a demonstrated

252
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,120
need for

253
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,839
uh concentrated assistance

254
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:11,680
so the area must be primarily

255
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:14,399
residential with at least 70 percent of

256
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:17,200
the residents that are low to moderate

257
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,720
income

258
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,240
the boundaries must also be contiguous

259
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,200
enough

260
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,920
excuse me all residents

261
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,079
can be served within those boundaries

262
00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:30,959
regardless of their income

263
00:11:30,959 --> 00:11:35,760
at least 51 of the services must be

264
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,600
made available to low and moderate

265
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,120
income

266
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,640
households

267
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,760
but it does allow a mix of incomes but

268
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,720
the services themselves must benefit at

269
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,040
least 51 of those must benefit low and

270
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,000
moderate income households

271
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,399
this is a sort of

272
00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:58,160
an ongoing

273
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,680
process for the next five years

274
00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:05,360
that community consultation and input

275
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,160
and when the community sees that maybe

276
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,040
you need to make some uh amendments or

277
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,480
adjustments to the strategic plan

278
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,200
then that's what will evolve over the

279
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,360
period of the five years

280
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,560
and as we all know conditions can change

281
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:24,639
dramatically in just a short period of

282
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:25,600
time

283
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,279
if you take a look at the

284
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:29,440
home values for example right now

285
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,440
they're extremely

286
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:38,320
almost impossible to to help new home buyers afford a home

287
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,920
now that might not be the case three

288
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,279
years from now

289
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:44,399
and so the nrsa is designed to allow the

290
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:46,880
community to come back and make changes

291
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,519
and amendments where necessary

292
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:51,360
but this this is also a great

293
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,600
opportunity to leverage existing

294
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,519
philanthropic and private sector

295
00:12:55,519 --> 00:12:58,320
investments and i have to say

296
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,000
uh bessemer is poised to do exactly that

297
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,160
there is so much momentum already

298
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,519
underway

299
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:08,320
that in my opinion there is going to be

300
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,560
many more opportunities for private

301
00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,040
sector and philanthropic investments

302
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,920
next slide okay all right

303
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,040
let me take over another takeover here

304
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,480
guys so

305
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,200
just wanted to just following up on what

306
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,480
gary mentioned that um

307
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,040
the the interconnectedness of the

308
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,040
efforts in the nrc wanted to talk about

309
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,320
what does it take to really

310
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,120
um pursue a neighborhood investment

311
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,000
strategy as you are aware there are so

312
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,800
many challenges in

313
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,680
um all of our neighbors of neighborhoods

314
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:50,720
across the country certainly in decimal

315
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,120
you you have your your challenges in the

316
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,639
nrc

317
00:13:54,639 --> 00:13:55,760
and

318
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,639
there is no one solution no one agency

319
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:04,800
that can make successful and meaningful

320
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,720
change so

321
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,880
this is a model that we have used

322
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:14,829
developed you know by a dear friend

323
00:14:14,839 --> 00:14:17,120
that talks about

324
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,000
what are the elements that it takes to

325
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,160
effectively deliver

326
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:23,920
a neighborhood and

327
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,839
a neighborhood investment and a

328
00:14:25,839 --> 00:14:28,800
neighborhood transformation strategy

329
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,519
first it takes some public sector

330
00:14:31,519 --> 00:14:33,440
capacity and resources that's a

331
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,720
government

332
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,560
it also takes

333
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,959
not only that there's not enough public

334
00:14:38,959 --> 00:14:40,880
money there it also takes private

335
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,920
investment capital and lending partners

336
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,199
banks credit unions and so on

337
00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:51,040
it takes flexible philanthropic dollars

338
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,760
that may be used as grants or may be

339
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,120
used as low low interest loans

340
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,320
it takes having the necessary

341
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,519
information to make um decisions at the

342
00:15:03,519 --> 00:15:06,320
community level you know how many how

343
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,880
many dilapidated units there are how

344
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:17,269
many vacant properties you know who

345
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:21,600
the average value of homes average cost

346
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,880
um

347
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,480
that reliable data is important in

348
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,800
coming up with solutions and being able

349
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,279
to to set a benchmark a starting point

350
00:15:33,279 --> 00:15:35,839
and to be able to determine

351
00:15:35,839 --> 00:15:36,959
um

352
00:15:36,959 --> 00:15:39,600
a measure of success when have you

353
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,199
reached the success that you have

354
00:15:41,199 --> 00:15:42,560
established

355
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,079
it takes public policy and advocacy

356
00:15:46,079 --> 00:15:48,320
so having

357
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,320
people who will whether at the local

358
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,199
level uh city council

359
00:15:53,199 --> 00:15:56,240
at the county level at the state level

360
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,880
to advocate for something like low

361
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,519
income hosting tax credits to ensure

362
00:16:01,519 --> 00:16:02,959
that uh

363
00:16:02,959 --> 00:16:05,990
more affordable

364
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,560
hosing rental housing can be built

365
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,880
within bessemer and within the target

366
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,000
area

367
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
and it takes

368
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,320
intermediaries and implementation

369
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,639
partners likes

370
00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:20,720
community development corporation

371
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,519
for-profit non-profit developers and

372
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:25,519
then it also takes neighborhood

373
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:27,000
non-profit

374
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
organizations offering development

375
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,639
services offering

376
00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:34,880
small business services

377
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,600
offering workforce development and job

378
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,360
training so it takes um it it is said

379
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,279
that it takes a village

380
00:16:43,279 --> 00:16:45,519
and this model really shows that it

381
00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:47,839
definitely takes a village in order to

382
00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:50,880
be effective in transforming

383
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,279
neighborhoods now we hope that this is

384
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:56,240
what this nrc will do

385
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,759
for the the area invested in bessemer

386
00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:02,000
and this will either serve as a model to

387
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,439
maybe move on to another area

388
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:09,679
and carry out the same strategies

389
00:17:09,679 --> 00:17:12,000
um so the boundaries

390
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:12,440
um

391
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,360
[Music]

392
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:22,079
korean mentioned the boundaries of the nrc and this is the boundary map um

393
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:23,199
and we

394
00:17:23,199 --> 00:17:26,240
you know we added water some of the

395
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,720
large employers some of the community

396
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,120
assets in here

397
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:33,160
it has a

398
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:38,320
strange shape because we we had to

399
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,919
um not include this industrial area here

400
00:17:41,919 --> 00:17:44,080
in the middle because of the hot

401
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,600
criteria

402
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,440
however

403
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,919
there are activities like expansion of

404
00:17:51,919 --> 00:17:54,720
the block facility there that will

405
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,280
provide benefits

406
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,799
to

407
00:17:58,799 --> 00:18:09,110
the nrc that's that encloses it

408
00:18:09,120 --> 00:18:11,520
let me move it and so we're gonna talk

409
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,280
about the the

410
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,200
what we did in terms of um

411
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:22,720
community input um community input as as

412
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,640
gary mentioned is very important throughout this

413
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,880
process so upfront

414
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,559
we did as much as we

415
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:35,120
could and continue to do to get your

416
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:37,200
input as a community

417
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,840
in terms of of helping us to develop the

418
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,960
strategies and so on it also is going to

419
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,360
take strong community leadership to

420
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:48,880
drive the changes in the community

421
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,880
in the nrsa

422
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,160
and um this is not just

423
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,640
community input at the beginning of the

424
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,280
process but throughout the process

425
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,840
at least annually after the the nrc gets

426
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,320
approved there's a requirement to

427
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,840
provide

428
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,400
opportunities for input

429
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,880
each year at least annually you can do

430
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,760
more if you want so what what we did in

431
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,000
terms of community input we're having

432
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,840
the public meeting

433
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,640
we participated in one meeting between

434
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,840
the for-profit developer and the

435
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,280
housing authority in those projects that

436
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,080
they are going to be developed in in

437
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,840
near the nrc

438
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,039
with the newspaper ads flyers social

439
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:43,120
media we have two online service surveys

440
00:19:43,120 --> 00:19:47,520
and we have those surveys still open so

441
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,280
between um now and i would say next week

442
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,559
tuesday we'll give you an opportunity to

443
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:55,360
go

444
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:59,600
online or to send a survey to to your

445
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,159
neighborhood your residents and

446
00:20:02,159 --> 00:20:04,960
businesses to participate in the survey

447
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,280
but you know by definitely bad cues that

448
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,520
will need to close them out

449
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,960
we have done interviews um information

450
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,960
has been posted on our

451
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,760
customers website and then we're gonna

452
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,799
have a 15-day comment period once a

453
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:22,960
draft of the application is ready and

454
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,720
we'll talk about that you'll also have

455
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,240
an opportunity

456
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,640
when this is goes before the city

457
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,840
council

458
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,840
to be able to um comment

459
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,039
on the

460
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:37,280
document itself

461
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,159
um

462
00:20:38,159 --> 00:20:39,679
gary do you want to

463
00:20:39,679 --> 00:20:44,480
take over with the survey results okay

464
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,159
so we received uh seven survey responses

465
00:20:48,159 --> 00:20:49,600
from residents

466
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,559
and two from business owners

467
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:56,640
a total of 55 residents responded to the

468
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,840
city's consolidated plan survey

469
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,720
and when you combine the nrsa with the

470
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,600
con plan survey results that's that's

471
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,840
what we use to determine the priority

472
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,799
needs within the area

473
00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:12,799
a majority of the respondents were

474
00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:14,240
homeowners

475
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:20,310
mainly in the zip code of 35020

476
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,440
most the respondents indicated that they

477
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,960
needed

478
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,760
major repairs to their homes

479
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,799
most residents felt that crime

480
00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:32,159
a variety of

481
00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:35,600
topics or or categories including

482
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,559
drugs alcohol abuse domestic violence

483
00:21:38,559 --> 00:21:39,600
robbery

484
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,799
burglary

485
00:21:40,799 --> 00:21:43,280
and gang activities have had a major

486
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,240
impact on the nrsa

487
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,679
area

488
00:21:47,679 --> 00:21:49,840
and most residents felt that vehicle

489
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,120
traffic problems had a moderate impact

490
00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:55,039
on the area

491
00:21:55,039 --> 00:21:57,120
but the overall condition of the

492
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,120
neighborhood was judged by most

493
00:21:59,120 --> 00:22:10,149
respondents as fair

494
00:22:10,159 --> 00:22:12,159
so the priority needs that were

495
00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:14,640
identified from the surveys

496
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,280
this art this is not in any

497
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,200
uh rank order

498
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,080
but

499
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,520
it sort of looks like it in some

500
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,159
respects uh substandard housing and

501
00:22:24,159 --> 00:22:27,840
major repairs to owner occupied housing

502
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,159
as well as accessibility improvements

503
00:22:30,159 --> 00:22:32,320
maybe for seniors or persons with with

504
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,159
disabilities

505
00:22:34,159 --> 00:22:36,480
rental housing

506
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,840
affordable

507
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,400
decent and safe rental housing as well

508
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,480
as affordable workforce housing was

509
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,200
identified as a priority need

510
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,919
more funding for down payment assistance

511
00:22:47,919 --> 00:22:50,480
and closing cost assistance

512
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,640
is an identified need

513
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,880
as well as infrastructure improvements

514
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,880
in the neighborhoods like

515
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,039
maintenance drainage

516
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:02,080
flood prevention things like that

517
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,400
maybe including uh

518
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,159
street improvements which is the last

519
00:23:06,159 --> 00:23:09,039
item like curb cuts repaving maybe

520
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:10,720
street lighting

521
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:11,840
as well as

522
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,400
more public services for seniors adults

523
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,720
and i heard a number of respondents who

524
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,159
i've talked to

525
00:23:18,159 --> 00:23:20,400
uh were very interested in doing youth

526
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,720
activities for for young folks to have

527
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,080
something to do

528
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,120
in the summer after school just several

529
00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:29,919
youth activities was a priority

530
00:23:29,919 --> 00:23:32,080
and substance abuse crime and safety

531
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,720
issues and transportation needs were

532
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,400
also identified

533
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,000
and then the one

534
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,919
constant for almost

535
00:23:39,919 --> 00:23:42,880
everything to work is job creation that

536
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:43,600
we

537
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,320
need to really focus on ways that number

538
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,360
one we can educate and train persons for

539
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:52,159
job openings and then also to try to

540
00:23:52,159 --> 00:23:54,080
promote as many job creation

541
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:55,440
opportunities for low and moderate

542
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:00,149
income persons in the area as possible

543
00:24:00,159 --> 00:24:02,159
next slide

544
00:24:02,159 --> 00:24:04,640
so we have conducted some fairly

545
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,600
in-depth interviews with with 10

546
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,799
agencies that were highlighted as

547
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:11,600
uh

548
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,159
stakeholders or key stakeholders

549
00:24:14,159 --> 00:24:16,480
and these these persons represented a

550
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,200
cross-section of local organizations

551
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,000
from many different areas or

552
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,200
focuses

553
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,200
the interviews were designed to collect

554
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,279
information on what that organization

555
00:24:27,279 --> 00:24:30,559
does in the area what their role is

556
00:24:30,559 --> 00:24:32,799
and whether or not they have any

557
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:34,240
planned

558
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,520
future investments in the nrsa

559
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,360
some people have investments coming that

560
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:42,159
might not be located exactly in the

561
00:24:42,159 --> 00:24:46,080
boundaries of the nrsa but it will draw

562
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,039
uh clients and residents from the nrsa

563
00:24:49,039 --> 00:24:51,440
so we we also were interested to know

564
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,520
that as well

565
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,600
we also were trying to determine the

566
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,400
sources of funding for those investments

567
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,000
so that if these groups are successful

568
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:02,799
in

569
00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:04,720
obtaining funds this might be possible

570
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,520
that other groups would be as well

571
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,390
we also

572
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,720
made an effort to identify

573
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,120
potential bank and lending partners

574
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:17,600
we're looking specifically for

575
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,760
a bank or a lending partner that has

576
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,760
roots in bessemer

577
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,320
that has sort of skin in the game that

578
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,960
they really want to

579
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,919
be a part of this the momentum that's

580
00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:32,640
building in the nrsa

581
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,640
we also looked at

582
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,880
those types of organizations that have

583
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,520
experience in assembling volunteers

584
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,720
oftentimes you may have just used as an

585
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:43,760
example

586
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,039
uh habitat has used volunteers quite

587
00:25:47,039 --> 00:25:49,600
often for their new construction and

588
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,520
housing

589
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,600
activities but there are a number of

590
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,679
organizations that that depend on

591
00:25:55,679 --> 00:25:56,960
volunteers

592
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,120
so we're hopeful that we can assemble

593
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:01,039
this cadre of

594
00:26:01,039 --> 00:26:03,120
volunteers that'll that'll work in the

595
00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:05,120
nrsa as well

596
00:26:05,120 --> 00:26:07,120
the top three

597
00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:11,200
most pressing needs in the area uh were

598
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,039
affordable housing the lack of

599
00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:15,279
affordable housing and the need for

600
00:26:15,279 --> 00:26:17,919
housing rehabilitation

601
00:26:17,919 --> 00:26:19,039
the other

602
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:22,480
primary uh priority needs were some do

603
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,640
something about crime

604
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,000
in the area

605
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
and the other problem

606
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,600
primary need was

607
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,279
uh activities so public service needs

608
00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:35,919
and activities to to help

609
00:26:35,919 --> 00:26:38,000
uh

610
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:44,710
both young and senior citizens

611
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:45,440
so

612
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,000
the overall consensus

613
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,039
of all interviews that were done

614
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:53,039
revealed that there's a high degree of

615
00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:55,760
interest in pursuing the nrsa

616
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,080
and that there's a strong existing

617
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,360
commitment

618
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:01,760
to foster the positive change and build

619
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,679
upon the recent momentum that that

620
00:27:03,679 --> 00:27:07,120
bessemer is experiencing right now

621
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:10,000
this for me was an experience

622
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,799
unlike any other where

623
00:27:12,799 --> 00:27:15,200
the level of community pride and strong

624
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,279
belief that

625
00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:21,919
the conditions can change can significantly improve

626
00:27:21,919 --> 00:27:24,399
if we can put together a very well

627
00:27:24,399 --> 00:27:27,600
coordinated plan that there's no doubt

628
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,679
in my mind that there are a number of

629
00:27:29,679 --> 00:27:31,200
organizations that are going to step

630
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,200
forward and lead

631
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,360
in this nrsa

632
00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:37,440
the efforts to obtain

633
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:38,720
funding

634
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,880
we do believe will expand following the

635
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,240
nrsa designation and approval by hud

636
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,320
and and again the five most common

637
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,559
challenges or crime reduction

638
00:27:48,559 --> 00:27:50,559
the housing conditions

639
00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:52,399
another one was the lack of public

640
00:27:52,399 --> 00:27:54,320
facilities and parks

641
00:27:54,320 --> 00:28:03,750
small business support and food access

642
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,310
okay

643
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,399
so at this point

644
00:28:08,399 --> 00:28:09,440
um

645
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,240
we'd like to find out if you know you

646
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,640
have any suggestions

647
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,559
or concerns

648
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:33,510
any questions

649
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:41,510
anybody else

650
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,360
okay so um the framework that we will

651
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:50,480
use for the planning of the nrc is to

652
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:51,840
um

653
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,640
come up with some goals what is it that

654
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,360
we want to accomplish

655
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,600
over the five years and each year

656
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,960
of the nrsa period

657
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,840
how are we going to accomplish the goals

658
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,159
that we have established what strategies

659
00:29:10,159 --> 00:29:15,039
will use and then what capacity

660
00:29:15,039 --> 00:29:17,279
will we need

661
00:29:17,279 --> 00:29:19,520
whether it's staffing whether it's

662
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,279
capital

663
00:29:21,279 --> 00:29:22,399
um

664
00:29:22,399 --> 00:29:24,399
whether it's um

665
00:29:24,399 --> 00:29:26,080
partners

666
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,480
what capacity will we need to carry this

667
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,840
act these

668
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,240
activities and strategies

669
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,760
carry all these activities and

670
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,520
strategies and then what will it cost

671
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,039
and then the fourth is is the measures

672
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:43,520
how are we going to know that we are

673
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,679
making progress

674
00:29:45,679 --> 00:29:49,279
the code requires that we specify

675
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:52,559
some milestones

676
00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:56,399
and um do them over the five-year period

677
00:29:56,399 --> 00:29:59,440
some annually some over the length of

678
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,840
the five-year period

679
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,559
um what is not

680
00:30:04,559 --> 00:30:05,520
um

681
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,120
locking the community into

682
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:14,880
meeting all of those metrics and um

683
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,000
or

684
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,440
all of the

685
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,880
goals

686
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,279
but it's recognized that things may

687
00:30:21,279 --> 00:30:22,480
change

688
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:23,520
but

689
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,159
the what hud wants done

690
00:30:26,159 --> 00:30:27,440
is that

691
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,880
um as a community you each year you get

692
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,960
an opportunity to look at the progress

693
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,399
you're making the city will assess its

694
00:30:36,399 --> 00:30:38,799
progress what are the reasons why

695
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:41,919
progress may be being made in one year

696
00:30:41,919 --> 00:30:45,279
one area but not in another um we're

697
00:30:45,279 --> 00:30:46,970
gonna come up with some

698
00:30:46,970 --> 00:30:48,840
[Music]

699
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,320
realistic goals and

700
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,679
mattresses

701
00:30:53,679 --> 00:30:55,120
um but

702
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,399
you know

703
00:30:56,399 --> 00:30:58,159
you cannot

704
00:30:58,159 --> 00:31:00,880
make allowances for

705
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,480
unforeseen circumstances however

706
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,600
it's important that we are able to

707
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,360
adjust the strategies maybe try some new

708
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,480
ways if we're not making progress

709
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,039
maybe shifts um

710
00:31:17,039 --> 00:31:19,360
shift around some of the goals so what

711
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,640
is flexible that there should be

712
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:23,840
some

713
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,480
progress shown there should be outcomes

714
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,279
what type you know what types of changes

715
00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:32,320
are you seeing in the community um

716
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,240
physical changes you're seeing

717
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:35,760
beautification

718
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,399
you may be seeing new houses going off

719
00:31:38,399 --> 00:31:39,600
you may

720
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,140
um

721
00:31:40,140 --> 00:31:41,279
[Music]

722
00:31:41,279 --> 00:31:43,679
learn about jobs that have been created

723
00:31:43,679 --> 00:31:45,919
in the community so this is the planning

724
00:31:45,919 --> 00:31:48,480
framework that we're going to use during

725
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,000
the five five year period

726
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,320
so we want to know look at some of the

727
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,720
strategies that we

728
00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,000
would want to pursue the first one as we

729
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,200
mentioned is affordable housing

730
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,080
so

731
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,480
uh the goal is to build units of

732
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:13,440
affordable housing to increase housing to repair existing

733
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,640
owner-occupied single-family houses

734
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,760
especially for persons on fixed income

735
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,080
who can't do it themselves

736
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,360
uh we look at acquiring and

737
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,679
rehabilitating vacant properties for for

738
00:32:27,679 --> 00:32:29,840
home buying or sale

739
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,320
and then during the period the city

740
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,760
wants to look at the possibility of

741
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,679
doing a feasibility study on developing

742
00:32:39,679 --> 00:32:41,279
a land bank

743
00:32:41,279 --> 00:32:43,679
and what a land bank is for those of you

744
00:32:43,679 --> 00:32:46,960
who may not be be aware is in setting up

745
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,640
an entity

746
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:53,200
that will acquire and hold properties

747
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,320
to ensure that they are not

748
00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,039
taken off by investors

749
00:32:59,039 --> 00:33:02,720
and to maintain them and then at some

750
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,559
point in time

751
00:33:04,559 --> 00:33:05,519
um

752
00:33:05,519 --> 00:33:09,440
use them for redevelop them for

753
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:10,559
housing

754
00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:13,559
or even in some cases use them for

755
00:33:13,559 --> 00:33:15,919
recreational um

756
00:33:15,919 --> 00:33:20,880
community gardens recreational space and so on

757
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:24,559
and so in here we have the you know what

758
00:33:24,559 --> 00:33:26,880
the strategies will be

759
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,919
we'll have partner in terms of local and

760
00:33:29,919 --> 00:33:32,080
national developers

761
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,919
community-based development

762
00:33:33,919 --> 00:33:35,720
organizations

763
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,640
beneficials will be home owners

764
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,760
um special needs population will be

765
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,760
working with the public housing

766
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,200
authority

767
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:51,840
um and the outcomes will be concentrating poverty

768
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,840
increase affordable home ownership

769
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,919
increase financial opportunities for

770
00:33:59,919 --> 00:34:03,120
residents of the nrc

771
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,000
attracting additional funding to the

772
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,600
community

773
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,200
um and

774
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,399
improving the the affordable housing

775
00:34:12,399 --> 00:34:13,839
stock

776
00:34:13,839 --> 00:34:17,440
so what do you like about these

777
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,399
strategies and you know what would be

778
00:34:20,399 --> 00:34:23,599
cons any concerns for you or what would

779
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:26,800
you want to change or add to to this let

780
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,040
me just pause how many times give you an

781
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,679
opportunity to

782
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:32,720
um

783
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:39,669
comment or ask questions

784
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:49,349
make sure you're on youtube

785
00:34:49,359 --> 00:34:53,829
anybody had any questions or comments

786
00:34:53,839 --> 00:34:56,079
my comment is about the land bank i

787
00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:58,560
think that is um key to

788
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:00,800
the affordable housing development so it

789
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:05,430
was good to hear that

790
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,280
what sorry could you repeat that i

791
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,720
didn't quite catch

792
00:35:10,720 --> 00:35:17,430
what you were saying

793
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:23,030
i think you all knew it's still nothing

794
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,400
i was excited

795
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,160
good to hear about the land

796
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:36,150
okay

797
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,200
so in terms of economic development the

798
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,560
goal is to create or retain jobs

799
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,640
through financial assistance to small

800
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,760
businesses or micro enterprises

801
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,040
and by micro enterprises we mean um

802
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,560
small businesses that uh have

803
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,640
um no more than five employees of which

804
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,119
one of the employees is the owner

805
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:02,560
themselves

806
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:06,880
um we want to try to develop workforce

807
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,960
development services and training

808
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,440
funding work workforce development

809
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:18,069
agencies to um

810
00:36:18,079 --> 00:36:21,359
to serve on the nrc

811
00:36:21,359 --> 00:36:22,240
um

812
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:25,680
as you can see some of the partners they

813
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,839
there is going to be

814
00:36:27,839 --> 00:36:32,710
um the construction of

815
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:34,000
houses

816
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:40,400
by the the redevelopment corp um

817
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,640
china i believe habitat mentioned that

818
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,440
they might do some development here the

819
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,359
housing authority will be doing

820
00:36:47,359 --> 00:36:49,760
development so you will have a lot of

821
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,880
new residents to the community

822
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,720
um they

823
00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:55,920
block

824
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,870
um

825
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,400
the

826
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,920
block

827
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,640
company will be expanding so there'll be

828
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,440
opportunities for jobs here there is a

829
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,720
new

830
00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:12,320
um some new businesses coming in in

831
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,400
bessemer in general and even outside of

832
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,280
besanosimo where there may be

833
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:21,440
opportunities for nrc residents to

834
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,359
access jobs um through that so

835
00:37:25,359 --> 00:37:32,640
um this is an opportunity to assist um when the the construction

836
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,119
of housing is going to happen

837
00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:38,079
um on all levels including the housing

838
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:40,320
authority there may be

839
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,079
opportunities for construction jobs

840
00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:46,880
during the construction and i believe

841
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,920
the construction of the

842
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,079
authority units will probably occur over

843
00:37:52,079 --> 00:37:54,079
the next five years so there will be

844
00:37:54,079 --> 00:37:56,560
opportunities for residents to be able

845
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,240
to benefit from jobs as well as

846
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:01,359
um

847
00:38:01,359 --> 00:38:04,560
you know subcontracts for construction

848
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:05,839
trades

849
00:38:05,839 --> 00:38:07,440
on those projects

850
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:08,480
any

851
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,720
anything you

852
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:12,640
what do you like about the strategies

853
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,119
anything you change anything you want to

854
00:38:15,119 --> 00:38:16,640
add to

855
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:17,359
the

856
00:38:17,359 --> 00:38:19,440
of things you think anything you think

857
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:34,630
we might be missing here

858
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,599
so the the third strategy bucket that

859
00:38:37,599 --> 00:38:41,200
we're looking at is to his neighborhood

860
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,200
improvements we want to reduce crime in

861
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,040
the neighborhood

862
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:48,000
um

863
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,119
you know

864
00:38:49,119 --> 00:38:51,680
look at some ideas around maybe crime

865
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:55,760
watch or neighborhood associations

866
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,359
in the area

867
00:38:57,359 --> 00:38:59,599
um we want to look at demolition of

868
00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:02,880
unsafe structures increasing code

869
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,640
enforcement

870
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,320
um beautifying some of the public spaces

871
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,320
um within

872
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:15,280
the nrsa creating community gardens

873
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,240
pocket parks doing some tree planting

874
00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:20,240
neighborhood signs

875
00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:22,880
and then also with all of that activity

876
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:24,160
happening

877
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:28,480
with housing being developed

878
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:29,520
um

879
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,680
job creation and so on there's going to

880
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,200
be the need for public services

881
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,160
to be able to

882
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,599
support

883
00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:43,119
those activities as well

884
00:39:43,119 --> 00:39:50,320
so anything here that you would like to change or add or

885
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,400
any comments on what you like about

886
00:39:52,400 --> 00:40:03,470
these strategies

887
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:10,870
[Music]

888
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:15,119
okay so in terms of implementing the

889
00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:16,800
strategies

890
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,599
um and as i as we mentioned before you

891
00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:21,920
have an opportunity during the comment

892
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:23,200
period

893
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,560
and when the nrsa application goes to

894
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,079
the city council you will have

895
00:40:28,079 --> 00:40:30,640
opportunities here to commence and in

896
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,359
your written comments which will be

897
00:40:33,359 --> 00:40:36,480
included as attached to the plan

898
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,160
as a part of this so in terms of how do

899
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,560
we implement this the idea is to look at

900
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,440
whether an implementing agency

901
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,920
or look at a work group so i think at

902
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:54,560
this point we are considering a a

903
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,440
an implementation work group

904
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,520
being spearheaded by

905
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,030
um

906
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,440
korean and his staff

907
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,040
and um

908
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,079
made up of some of the stakeholders the

909
00:41:10,079 --> 00:41:11,920
non-profits

910
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,510
um the

911
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,640
any for-profit entity any community

912
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,119
leaders churches

913
00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:22,720
um other non

914
00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:23,920
other

915
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,359
related non-profit organizations um

916
00:41:27,359 --> 00:41:29,839
businesses

917
00:41:29,839 --> 00:41:33,119
lenders having a committed committee

918
00:41:33,119 --> 00:41:37,119
that will assist the city in terms of

919
00:41:37,119 --> 00:41:39,599
implementation and getting the world out

920
00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:43,520
and marketing the nrc

921
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,000
that is the the

922
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:50,079
strategy in terms of of uh

923
00:41:50,079 --> 00:41:52,720
implementing the the activities in the

924
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:55,920
nrc the idea as well is to continue

925
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,240
during the five years if there are new

926
00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:01,680
any new partners that may be recruited

927
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,920
and would want to work with the city in

928
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:08,069
terms of providing um

929
00:42:08,079 --> 00:42:10,720
social services or

930
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:16,590
being developers within the nrc

931
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,480
[Music]

932
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,000
these are some of the planned

933
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:21,520
investments

934
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,040
that um this is just a few of them

935
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,000
um

936
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:26,960
in

937
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:31,440
within the nrsa and within bessemer

938
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,720
for which the nrc may be able to benefit

939
00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:36,000
from

940
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,960
the economic economic opportunities

941
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:40,640
coming from

942
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,960
these investments

943
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,359
and again as i mentioned there may be

944
00:42:45,359 --> 00:42:47,839
the need for more social services if

945
00:42:47,839 --> 00:42:48,960
you're having

946
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,680
increased number of houses for sale

947
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,040
there's a need for home buyer counseling

948
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,520
workforce development training for new

949
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,359
jobs financial education for family

950
00:43:01,359 --> 00:43:03,680
in common wealth building trying to

951
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:06,079
improve you know do budgeting some of

952
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:07,839
those activities

953
00:43:07,839 --> 00:43:10,880
creating community gardens and

954
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,680
community safety programs

955
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,760
that um

956
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,800
to promote more cohesion in the

957
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:23,670
community and

958
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,079
make sure that the community the stories

959
00:43:26,079 --> 00:43:28,400
the the the

960
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,280
positive stories are told about the

961
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:39,349
impact of the analysis

962
00:43:39,359 --> 00:43:41,920
um so for the nrsa in terms of

963
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,640
performance performance measures we'll

964
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,440
have to identify how many hoses where

965
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,480
you're projecting to to to build

966
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,800
policies and procedures will need to be

967
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,280
developed to track performance there

968
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,520
will need to be monitoring

969
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,760
um data collection

970
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,319
again as i mentioned we have ongoing

971
00:44:02,319 --> 00:44:05,040
community input and reporting on the

972
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,160
progress of the nrc

973
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,800
um i'm getting public comments from you

974
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:14,079
as the whole things are progressing

975
00:44:14,079 --> 00:44:17,680
so let me um pause at this point again

976
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,540
and ask if there are any

977
00:44:19,540 --> 00:44:21,040
[Music]

978
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,920
questions or concerns

979
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:24,960
or

980
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:45,109
any suggestions

981
00:44:45,119 --> 00:44:47,920
and we encourage you to check because we

982
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:49,680
will provide this powerpoint

983
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,319
presentation on the city's website you

984
00:44:52,319 --> 00:44:55,440
can click on the the

985
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,520
link here and it will take you to the

986
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,520
community development department's

987
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:14,309
website where there's more information

988
00:45:14,319 --> 00:45:16,480
my name is nancy i have a couple of

989
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,400
questions if i may yes go ahead

990
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:21,920
okay um

991
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,640
looking at the um

992
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:26,880
the boundaries that you have i just want

993
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:28,560
to regress just a little bit to be sure

994
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,520
that i fully understand the 35th street

995
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,560
north to the north these are areas of

996
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,599
lands that are already owned

997
00:45:37,599 --> 00:45:38,400
by

998
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,240
the federal government or housing

999
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:42,079
authority or what have you

1000
00:45:42,079 --> 00:45:44,400
those are places where you are planning

1001
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,160
to

1002
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,079
build the affordable housing am i

1003
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:51,829
correct

1004
00:45:51,839 --> 00:45:52,800
um

1005
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:58,800
taurian could you respond to that in the context

1006
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:00,960
of the bonuses

1007
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,480
yeah

1008
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:04,800
should i go to the map

1009
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,160
yeah if you don't mind go back to the

1010
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:08,000
maps up

1011
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,359
so

1012
00:46:09,359 --> 00:46:10,960
it's actually

1013
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:12,880
the housing authority

1014
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,400
that actually had some building plans

1015
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,560
and placements right

1016
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,400
and it's part of the reason why we

1017
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,720
included this area

1018
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:25,359
in the nrsa is because they've had some

1019
00:46:25,359 --> 00:46:26,720
plans to do some new housing

1020
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:30,400
construction within the general air

1021
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,880
and uh it's a way to show

1022
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,240
different

1023
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:36,960
uh i guess an expansion of the

1024
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,040
affordable housing options within the

1025
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:40,560
nrsa

1026
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,920
and that we're bringing

1027
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,839
as many resources into the areas we can

1028
00:46:47,839 --> 00:46:48,880
and

1029
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,480
i know the housing authority has talked

1030
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:54,560
about doing uh maybe some new units

1031
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,960
at southside homes i know

1032
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,880
and they also had a proposal on the uh

1033
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,160
that was presented to the federal

1034
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:03,839
government for some more housing but in

1035
00:47:03,839 --> 00:47:05,200
addition to that i know they've

1036
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:06,800
mentioned the possibility of working

1037
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:08,240
with others in terms of doing some

1038
00:47:08,240 --> 00:47:10,880
scattered site housing if there are some

1039
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,119
vacant lots around the city where they

1040
00:47:13,119 --> 00:47:16,160
can have new homes be built

1041
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:17,760
okay

1042
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,720
so would those homes uh

1043
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:23,200
terrain would those homes uh be similar

1044
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:25,760
to the ones that are already there

1045
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,880
to the left or would they be more along

1046
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,319
the line of the

1047
00:47:30,319 --> 00:47:33,680
habitat uh homes

1048
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,480
are we talking to single family homes

1049
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,480
yes a single family homes or the um

1050
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:42,640
the ones that are across dartmouth

1051
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,440
avenue there to what probably about 36th

1052
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,440
street i guess

1053
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,119
the bigger houses from what i saw and

1054
00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:52,880
what i've seen

1055
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,200
with respect to what they're proposing

1056
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,200
they don't look like what's already

1057
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,079
there

1058
00:47:58,079 --> 00:47:59,680
um

1059
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:00,559
yeah

1060
00:48:00,559 --> 00:48:02,640
they would look similar to maybe some

1061
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,240
projects you've seen in some other

1062
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:05,680
cities where some of the housing

1063
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,000
authorities have gone in and renovated

1064
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:08,800
uh

1065
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,359
some of their house units and done that

1066
00:48:11,359 --> 00:48:14,000
in terms of any single family units i

1067
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:16,240
don't think we've gotten as far as what

1068
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:18,800
habitat did over on seventh avenue but i

1069
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,880
know what's said with habitat and

1070
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,800
melanie you may be able to chime in over

1071
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,599
on seven but they try to match what they

1072
00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:26,400
build

1073
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,240
and they do this everywhere

1074
00:48:28,240 --> 00:48:30,480
so that it flows with what's already in

1075
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,640
the community

1076
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,440
okay okay thank you

1077
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:40,549
all right

1078
00:48:40,559 --> 00:48:44,470
now did you want to time in

1079
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,400
no i'm sorry answer the question the way

1080
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:54,470
i would have

1081
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:55,680
no

1082
00:48:55,680 --> 00:49:06,950
i think that's all i have

1083
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:07,760
so

1084
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,190

1085
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,520

1086
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,079
as i said you know we leave up the link

1087
00:49:16,079 --> 00:49:20,079
until next week on tuesday

1088
00:49:20,079 --> 00:49:21,200
um

1089
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,240
we are planning to complete the draft

1090
00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:27,119
and rsa application by

1091
00:49:27,119 --> 00:49:28,079
um

1092
00:49:28,079 --> 00:49:33,119
june 15th um and then we put it out for

1093
00:49:33,119 --> 00:49:37,119
public comment um for 15 days

1094
00:49:37,119 --> 00:49:41,119
um to the the end of june

1095
00:49:41,119 --> 00:49:42,720
and um

1096
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:45,960
it will be um

1097
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,359
incorporated with the the city's um

1098
00:49:49,359 --> 00:49:51,520
annual action plan

1099
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,920
and an amendment to the consolidated

1100
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:55,359
plan and

1101
00:49:55,359 --> 00:49:59,280
the idea is to submit this to heart

1102
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,440
by um

1103
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,440
by july 15

1104
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,640
and you know we're estimating that cod

1105
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,040
may take

1106
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,720
three months or so to

1107
00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:14,240
approve this

1108
00:50:14,240 --> 00:50:17,280
and then we will be moving into

1109
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:30,150
implementation

1110
00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:36,480
