Mr. Hawks 17 00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:53,940 were good afternoon city council staff and river siders my name is dan hawks 18 00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:57,410 were they were within the cowboy street in riverside and I'm here to 19 00:02:57,410 --> 00:03:03,830 talk about the city's progress or lack there of toward the regional housing 20 00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:10,489 needs assessment goals which should be up on the screen effort that be put up but 21 00:03:10,489 --> 00:03:17,163 that could. Yes there we go thank you mom. These are were presented to the council in 22 00:03:17,163 --> 00:03:23,169 march of this year and this summarizes their progress from twenty twenty one on 23 00:03:23,169 --> 00:03:27,907 the goals set forth here are to be achieved by twenty twenty nine and as you will 24 00:03:27,907 --> 00:03:35,781 see we have a lot of work to do in riverside. Indeed in the very low income category 25 00:03:35,781 --> 00:03:45,381 we have achieved only forty seven completed units out of a goal of four thousand eight 26 00:03:45,592 --> 00:03:48,528 hundred and sixty one that is less than one percent of the goal that we have 27 00:03:48,528 --> 00:03:56,680 obtained with only four years remaining. So we have a lot of work to do in regards to 28 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:01,273 very low the same is true of low income where we are only at nine point three percent 29 00:04:01,273 --> 00:04:06,479 of the goal with two hundred and eighty four units then that moderate we've achieved 30 00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:14,687 two hundred and fifty nine or eight point two percent of the goal home. However above 31 00:04:14,687 --> 00:04:19,491 moderate we have achieved three thousand twenty three units or almost forty one 32 00:04:19,491 --> 00:04:27,891 percent of the goal. So right now we're failing to produce affordable housing better 33 00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:35,834 producing a lot of above moderate income. It's very disconcerting for me because 34 00:04:37,643 --> 00:04:39,378 the very low income population that's really targeted at our home with 35 00:04:39,378 --> 00:04:44,250 individuals and riverside has been static. If not increasing in homelessness 36 00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:50,990 over this period because we happen to create haven't developed a very low income 37 00:04:50,990 --> 00:04:57,597 category. In addition we have seniors who have no place to downsize to when our city 38 00:04:57,597 --> 00:05:03,202 further we have you see our graduating students who are here who want to stay in 39 00:05:03,202 --> 00:05:08,407 riverside but they can't find housing in riverside that is affordable. I know that we're 40 00:05:08,407 --> 00:05:13,479 working hard on economic development but we need to have housing for those new 41 00:05:13,479 --> 00:05:18,417 jobs that we produce them people want to live in the city they won one to work 42 00:05:18,417 --> 00:05:23,623 better for them better for us it's better for our environment to have them 43 00:05:23,623 --> 00:05:29,561 housed within our community so this is a um something I thought was important for 44 00:05:29,561 --> 00:05:36,569 everybody to see a review before we had the discussion about the higher housing 45 00:05:36,569 --> 00:05:42,775 pipeline today and um we have our work cut out for us thank you thank you mr. Hawkes 46 00:05:42,775 --> 00:05:51,775 worth looking to see how many other comments for general come in the chambers that 47 00:05:53,585 --> 00:05:58,391 there's any on line and the mind kate we're going to go in close apple comment and 48 00:05:58,391 --> 00:06:03,620 come back to the chambers for discussion calendar and the first item we have is 49 00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:07,332 housing authority project updates and also also put up the comment line for that 50 00:06:07,332 --> 00:06:15,132 after five minute presentation and we have agra pina that afternoon we are 51 00:06:19,299 --> 00:06:22,770 very good afternoon members of the committee staff and the I'm so glad people are 52 00:06:22,770 --> 00:06:29,176 here to hear about all the wonderful things we are doing here in the city of 53 00:06:29,176 --> 00:06:33,981 riverside. As of today we have three hundred and thirty six affordable housing units 54 00:06:33,981 --> 00:06:40,587 in the pipeline that includes seventeen density bonus law units and ten california 55 00:06:40,587 --> 00:06:44,580 housing crisis act units and we have an additional twenty four permanent supportive 56 00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:50,196 housing units and forty one transitional housing units in various stages in 57 00:06:50,196 --> 00:06:54,335 the pipeline for a total of four hundred and one units so we expect to have about 58 00:06:54,335 --> 00:07:00,207 ninety of those online by the end of this year with a further forty nine in twenty 59 00:07:00,207 --> 00:07:08,349 twenty seven. I am hoping that one hundred and fifteen that I have listed them for 60 00:07:08,349 --> 00:07:12,860 it with twenty twenty eight will come in line by the end of twenty twenty seven 61 00:07:12,860 --> 00:07:20,160 fingers crossed but I don't want to jinx it by putting in that category just yet. I ate 62 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:26,701 last time we have been asked to break down the units in the pipeline by the income 63 00:07:26,701 --> 00:07:32,573 limit. So just to give you an idea of what we're looking at the units currently in 64 00:07:32,573 --> 00:07:37,977 the pipeline hundred and thirteen are for people who are thirty percent of 65 00:07:37,977 --> 00:07:41,480 the area median income or below one hundred and fifty seven four people at fifty 66 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:47,720 percent. Am I and a hundred and thirty one at eighty percent. Now the people that 67 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:53,527 one hundred and thirty one count is for a max of eighty percent. Some of those units 68 00:07:53,527 --> 00:08:00,134 might shake out to be thirty or fifty percent as we progress in the process as of 69 00:08:00,134 --> 00:08:07,700 right now they will be no more than eighty percent of the area median income 70 00:08:07,700 --> 00:08:10,744 mulberry gardens. This project you probably are seeing it go up right off 71 00:08:10,744 --> 00:08:20,344 the ninety one the scene year phase is very close to completion and expected to be 72 00:08:20,487 --> 00:08:26,894 fully on line by fall of this year and they are starting to accept applications so we 73 00:08:26,894 --> 00:08:30,897 have a meeting this week to make sure that we have all of our unit makes is correct 74 00:08:30,897 --> 00:08:35,502 that we are making sure that everybody who lives there qualifies for all of 75 00:08:35,502 --> 00:08:40,640 the units based on all of their funding levels that we have and so we will be 76 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:46,579 hearing about that soon some of the units that will be read reserved for people who 77 00:08:46,579 --> 00:08:51,919 are referred to our homeless prevention programs. So we as we get closer I will let 78 00:08:51,919 --> 00:08:57,524 everyone know what the processes for the open units for seniors and then a 79 00:08:57,524 --> 00:09:02,929 brown that same time next year we expect of the family units coming online that 80 00:09:02,929 --> 00:09:08,100 the hundred and fifty units and again as we get closer I will let everyone know what 81 00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:14,674 the processes for applying for those family and its fourteenth straight to 82 00:09:14,674 --> 00:09:20,347 the project is still in design review with path of life ministries. We are still 83 00:09:20,347 --> 00:09:24,751 working with them to determine what their budget is and if any of our funding 84 00:09:24,751 --> 00:09:32,626 sources will work for them the duplex at twenty three forty eight university. This 85 00:09:32,626 --> 00:09:38,632 was meant to be on the april seven city council agenda. I too didn't award a bid to 86 00:09:38,632 --> 00:09:43,837 demolish the building. It was pulled from the consent calendar time so we will be 87 00:09:43,837 --> 00:09:48,708 reworking of that stuff reporter and bring it back am I for council approval as 88 00:09:48,708 --> 00:09:55,650 soon as possible. The idea is that we're going to demolish this duplex and that needs 89 00:09:55,650 --> 00:10:00,119 its foundation interior exterior walls and roof to be replaced. So we're just going 90 00:10:00,119 --> 00:10:05,125 to demolish the whole thing and build from scratch and we're looking at working with 91 00:10:05,125 --> 00:10:11,665 planning to put on additional units patterson senior housing at this project is 92 00:10:11,665 --> 00:10:19,139 new to this presentation this will be at nineteen seventy patterson st. It has 93 00:10:19,139 --> 00:10:23,276 been entitled it is through the retirement housing foundation so this will be 94 00:10:23,276 --> 00:10:29,820 senior housing are looking at about sixty four units. We don't know the final unit mix 95 00:10:29,820 --> 00:10:35,422 yet I'm so right now I am counting these all as eighty percent units as they apply 96 00:10:35,422 --> 00:10:43,896 for more funding we will get a better idea of what qualifications will be for 97 00:10:43,896 --> 00:10:50,236 those seniors. Great minds at twenty eighty two mission and we are still working with 98 00:10:50,236 --> 00:10:55,842 the developer to finalize their pro forma. We want to make sure that this project 99 00:10:55,842 --> 00:11:01,115 is fully feasible for the full fifty five years so that we can enter into a 100 00:11:01,115 --> 00:11:08,188 disposition and development agreement with them and we can get going and phs has 101 00:11:08,188 --> 00:11:15,462 also submitted a proposal for infill home ownership projects. So these will be 102 00:11:15,462 --> 00:11:21,735 most likely pre manufactured housing that will be built on infill sites throughout 103 00:11:21,735 --> 00:11:26,940 the city and these will be for home ownership. They have done similar projects 104 00:11:26,940 --> 00:11:30,410 throughout the inland empire so we're very excited to get some more homeownership 105 00:11:30,410 --> 00:11:40,410 opportunities here in the city this is the place at u m place this is going to be 106 00:11:40,486 --> 00:11:45,426 our transitional housing in partnership with riverside university health systems.

Those are I 155 00:16:44,943 --> 00:16:50,415 would expect are following the housing first philosophy which is in the city's own 156 00:16:50,415 --> 00:16:56,555 housing element it is also required by law all by the state to receive funding 157 00:16:56,555 --> 00:17:06,310 from senate bill thirteen eighty housing first is a lot of the land in california and 158 00:17:06,310 --> 00:17:09,701 we have to abide by that if we won state funding for any of our housing projects that 159 00:17:09,701 --> 00:17:15,106 required within states tat toot. Unfortunately there's been discussion on the city 160 00:17:15,106 --> 00:17:20,846 council that housing first is not effective. That is not what experts have found it is 161 00:17:20,846 --> 00:17:27,318 not what finland socal housing collective as found after extensive amount of 162 00:17:27,318 --> 00:17:32,257 research into the topic into all of the research done on it. We found that there are 163 00:17:32,257 --> 00:17:38,530 seventy eight eighty six percent success rate in housing first housing first 164 00:17:38,530 --> 00:17:44,200 realize basically back on a theory that was proposed and has been taught in psychology 165 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:49,273 since the nineteen forties and that's mad flows hierarchy of needs. People 166 00:17:49,273 --> 00:17:54,813 need to address their physiological conditions first air food water shelter 167 00:17:54,813 --> 00:18:01,687 clothing reproductions sleep the basics so people need to be hours before they can move 168 00:18:01,687 --> 00:18:08,760 on. Safety comes next and within safety is but without housing without shelter 169 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:14,566 without the safety of a secure environment people can't move on or move forward 170 00:18:14,566 --> 00:18:21,640 with their lives that is what housing first provides provides a safe environment 171 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:30,400 for people the address their physical mental emotional and in some cased and substance 172 00:18:30,465 --> 00:18:37,538 abuse needs but they need to have a safe secure environment to do that.

So the first one our intention 307 00:30:10,178 --> 00:30:14,516 was to increase the number of social work interns by fifteen percent annually. We 308 00:30:14,516 --> 00:30:22,791 want to adjust that to change the goal to be an annual from an annual metric to a three 309 00:30:22,791 --> 00:30:26,527 year metric increase in the skills to reduce retiree traumatized confidence and 310 00:30:26,527 --> 00:30:30,999 job satisfaction among the peace that team the pan steam and outreach workers by 311 00:30:30,999 --> 00:30:35,736 forty five percent and only willing to modify that objective to change the focus 312 00:30:35,736 --> 00:30:40,750 on job satisfaction and create a survey to track those actual results related 313 00:30:40,750 --> 00:30:46,893 to jobs job satisfaction the goal to refer ninety six individuals to physical and 314 00:30:46,893 --> 00:30:52,298 behavioral health resources annually wanted to modify that to edit data field to 315 00:30:52,298 --> 00:30:58,104 arc gis rgs twenty three survey for about rp center axis enter team members use 316 00:30:58,104 --> 00:31:04,243 and partnering agencies so we are actually tracking what that's behavioral health 317 00:31:04,243 --> 00:31:08,647 resources was the evil resources are if we approach allow low level metrics to 318 00:31:08,647 --> 00:31:12,385 identify with those resources are. It allows us to better identify what we should be 319 00:31:12,385 --> 00:31:19,590 bringing into the city of riverside to benefit the and finally modifying the gall to 320 00:31:19,590 --> 00:31:24,263 refer fifteen individuals annually to the home court program annually to modify 321 00:31:24,263 --> 00:31:30,603 again our metric that we measure that with with our joyous twenty three survey 322 00:31:30,603 --> 00:31:35,809 that we use on the field and inside there's one more and then in modifying the goal to 323 00:31:35,809 --> 00:31:39,479 increase the number of people who successfully replace to from street outreach by 324 00:31:39,479 --> 00:31:46,553 twenty five percent annually to really identify not to say who is engaging on the street 325 00:31:46,553 --> 00:31:49,823 but to him to provide the level of metric as to who we are placing and both 326 00:31:49,823 --> 00:31:57,230 shelter and treatment programs. Goal number three I'm sorry other areas of 327 00:31:58,300 --> 00:32:02,168 improvement I were looking toward modifying for goal number two were items that we 328 00:32:02,168 --> 00:32:09,309 have not had the objective on really focused on the metric that was used as the platform 329 00:32:09,309 --> 00:32:14,914 of our statistics so we really lean upon the point in time count and the goals that 330 00:32:14,914 --> 00:32:20,720 were identified in the homeless homelessness action plan focused on and 331 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,659 lean upon the point in time count and there's the annual reference to the home a point 332 00:32:25,659 --> 00:32:29,996 in time count. However that count is not done annually the county intends to change 333 00:32:29,996 --> 00:32:32,666 it to be every two years every year depending on what's going on some of them 334 00:32:32,666 --> 00:32:36,536 I have to do with health reasons some of them I have to do with just the metrics 335 00:32:36,536 --> 00:32:41,207 of the hole so we want to modify our goals that are associated with an annual 336 00:32:41,207 --> 00:32:46,280 representation of the point in time count to align them with the riverside point in 337 00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,949 time keepers like any point in time count and whatever that is of its annual if it's 338 00:32:49,949 --> 00:32:55,288 every two years that's what it would align with and to increase when we referred to 339 00:32:55,288 --> 00:32:58,624 originally to increase the number of people except services from the piece that 340 00:32:58,624 --> 00:33:04,300 and street nurses by twenty five percent annually we want to turn move the street nurse 341 00:33:04,300 --> 00:33:09,436 segment of that gore because they measure about again separately.

So collectively 360 00:34:47,933 --> 00:34:52,273 as a department we're working with the marketing and communications team to update 361 00:34:52,273 --> 00:34:55,942 our website and make sure that we're sharing all the success stories because 362 00:34:55,942 --> 00:35:00,790 these resources in these programs are utilized. We want to make sure that that 363 00:35:00,790 --> 00:35:07,421 information gets out for all the folks that were able to re housed every home and keep 364 00:35:07,421 --> 00:35:12,260 in their homes number for increased availability and effectiveness of emergency 365 00:35:12,260 --> 00:35:15,561 shelter one goal that was achieved was to increase the number of emergency 366 00:35:15,561 --> 00:35:20,166 shelter beds for twenty five percent in twenty twenty three. This is subject to 367 00:35:20,166 --> 00:35:23,969 funding say wanted to make sure that was identified and the committee is going to 368 00:35:23,969 --> 00:35:27,390 review the school's funding is needed to stand up additional shelter beds and 369 00:35:27,390 --> 00:35:33,313 cover ongoing operational costs so it's not just ending up the emergency shelter it's 370 00:35:33,313 --> 00:35:37,518 a continuation of the funding for the shelter shelters and increase the number of people 371 00:35:37,518 --> 00:35:43,256 exiting emergency shelter to housing by ten percent annually cause that we have 372 00:35:43,256 --> 00:35:47,327 not achieved are still working on again and related to the point in time counter 373 00:35:47,327 --> 00:35:52,999 to decrease the numbers of un sheltered individuals by ten percent annually increase by 374 00:35:52,999 --> 00:35:57,471 one point five percent in twenty twenty three to the number two from six 375 00:35:57,471 --> 00:36:02,275 hundred and five to six hundred and fourteen twenty twenty five again providing 376 00:36:02,275 --> 00:36:06,880 the level of metrics that allow us to align the point in time count with our 377 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,951 metrics that were providing for success as it relates to his goals and then increase 378 00:36:11,951 --> 00:36:15,555 the number of people accepting shelter from the seating asian team an 379 00:36:15,555 --> 00:36:18,759 outreach team with twenty five percent. Really the challenge we have but 380 00:36:18,759 --> 00:36:25,231 this is ensuring that their data that we are collecting doesn't that allows us to and 381 00:36:25,231 --> 00:36:29,501 duplicate numbers so when we're engaging with the same individual on a regular basis 382 00:36:29,501 --> 00:36:34,907 does that count as one engagement or does that count is five engagements so really 383 00:36:34,907 --> 00:36:40,246 being able to look at the point not a point in time count. Look at our various 384 00:36:40,246 --> 00:36:43,649 data from the survey one two three and determine if it's the same individual or 385 00:36:43,649 --> 00:36:50,249 encountering or a different individual goal number five expand awareness of 386 00:36:50,665 --> 00:36:55,804 the areas of improvement that we anticipate making as that we had an annual increase 387 00:36:55,804 --> 00:36:59,700 the goal of making an annual increase of three on cause related to host activity by 388 00:36:59,700 --> 00:37:03,145 decreasing it by ten twenty five percent thereby decreasing nine on one calls 389 00:37:03,145 --> 00:37:10,352 related to homelessness. One of the things that we noticed too is that we needed to get 390 00:37:10,352 --> 00:37:15,290 data. There was a gap in the data that was provided to our department and were 391 00:37:15,290 --> 00:37:19,761 requesting that the fire department provide monthly reports to hhs that 392 00:37:19,761 --> 00:37:23,965 identifies the high frequency of users of services so again if you have the same 393 00:37:23,965 --> 00:37:28,637 occurrence of an individual that's out on the streets that needs medical services 394 00:37:28,637 --> 00:37:33,242 what are the services are needed where that reoccurring problem happening and how can 395 00:37:33,242 --> 00:37:39,114 we infuse existing resources to assist in that matter and the goal to decrease by fifty 396 00:37:39,114 --> 00:37:44,385 percent. The traffic to the office of homelessness solutions web page annually 397 00:37:44,385 --> 00:37:47,589 with the evolution of our department and the structure of our department we are 398 00:37:47,589 --> 00:37:53,610 working with marketing again to scrub the web page to make sure that we are providing 399 00:37:53,610 --> 00:38:01,937 resources that the will use and reference on a regular basis. Goal number six corny 400 00:38:01,937 --> 00:38:07,409 corny regional infrastructure we have attended twenty five continued care and committee 401 00:38:07,409 --> 00:38:10,780 meetings in you and advocated for the increase of shelter beds mental health programs 402 00:38:10,780 --> 00:38:15,284 and affordable housing based on gap analysis and increase the number of emergency 403 00:38:15,284 --> 00:38:19,622 shelter bus driver's account of a ten percent by twenty twenty for one of the goals 404 00:38:19,622 --> 00:38:26,228 that we need to work on or that we want to modify is the maintaining of fifty cold 405 00:38:26,228 --> 00:38:30,165 weather shelter bed program annually and the reason for this the move by the one of 406 00:38:30,165 --> 00:38:35,103 her move this gore modify the school was that it's recommended that riverside 407 00:38:35,103 --> 00:38:40,108 county find another location to it within the county to stand at this program because 408 00:38:40,108 --> 00:38:45,315 riverside has really toed the line for this program for a number of years and as you 409 00:38:45,315 --> 00:38:50,319 already know riverside is a resource for a lot of other regional me. Countywide 410 00:38:50,319 --> 00:38:56,525 programs so we wanted to share the opportunity with another city to provide 411 00:38:56,525 --> 00:39:00,797 the level of service the recommendations of this time is that the city county 412 00:39:00,797 --> 00:39:05,201 committee receiving father presentation on the homeless action plan update and 413 00:39:05,201 --> 00:39:08,537 provide any feedback on recommended changes including the following replacing any 414 00:39:08,537 --> 00:39:13,700 references office homeless solutions with the housing is ours as department change 415 00:39:13,700 --> 00:39:17,412 the reporting period because the reporting period as it stands on the report at this 416 00:39:17,412 --> 00:39:24,860 time is october through september so modify in alignment with our fiscal 417 00:39:24,860 --> 00:39:27,756 year from july one to june thirtieth and with that the department like to 418 00:39:27,756 --> 00:39:32,360 provide the committee with an annual update in september of every year and specifically 419 00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:37,499 as a release the affordable housing space remove seventy three eighty two and seventy 420 00:39:37,499 --> 00:39:41,704 three eighty four garden street from the housing first plan cites as entropy 421 00:39:41,704 --> 00:39:48,304 mentioned those are being presented as affordable housing city as home 422 00:39:48,578 --> 00:39:55,778 ownership properties through habitat for humanity and with that chair seventeen second 423 00:39:55,918 --> 00:40:00,189 clip my presentation.

I want to 435 00:40:59,247 --> 00:41:07,470 highlight how much this department is under resource and underfunded the fact that 436 00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:15,997 this um that our goal toward decreasing homelessness has not been met is not at all a 437 00:41:15,997 --> 00:41:20,535 reflection of the hard work the partnership for the understanding of 438 00:41:20,535 --> 00:41:26,875 the challenge. It is quite literally a reflection of the diocese and their lack of 439 00:41:26,875 --> 00:41:33,148 understanding of the complex levels of support that truly addressing homelessness 440 00:41:33,148 --> 00:41:38,687 require and so as committee members who I believe are committed to ensuring that 441 00:41:38,687 --> 00:41:45,160 every riverside or has a home I'm going to encourage you to dig deep to work harder to be 442 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:51,366 more creative in more innovative to think about what it means for us to truly 443 00:41:51,366 --> 00:41:57,772 as ex city make a commitment to every riverside are to be able to sleep indoors and 444 00:41:57,772 --> 00:42:04,780 that is going to take a multi pronged multi disciplinary million if not billion dollar 445 00:42:04,780 --> 00:42:10,519 support in order to make sure every single riverside or has a place to call home. That is 446 00:42:10,519 --> 00:42:15,591 something we can achieve if we work together right. I work on it every single day 447 00:42:15,591 --> 00:42:22,791 and partner with these amazing folks along with hundreds of other nonprofit 448 00:42:23,398 --> 00:42:29,400 and faith based organizations this is something we need to believe is possible if we 449 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:36,411 lead with our heart first and we engage in every possible opportunity we cannot afford 450 00:42:36,411 --> 00:42:44,211 to miss a single opportunity of any type of shelter housing affordability for 451 00:42:44,753 --> 00:42:48,956 homeownership. We have to double down on our commitment and it's got to start with 452 00:42:48,956 --> 00:42:54,962 the leadership in this room and so I encourage you to reach out to organizations 453 00:42:54,962 --> 00:42:59,576 like myself that work on this challenge every single day pressed to think about how 454 00:42:59,576 --> 00:43:07,376 to build a better stronger more empathetic and more powerful riverside a strong 455 00:43:07,782 --> 00:43:14,856 riverside the riverside where everyone is guaranteed home this is an economic impact 456 00:43:14,856 --> 00:43:21,930 to each and everyone of us.

I first I just wanna mention. No offense to the apartment I know they put 462 00:43:56,498 --> 00:44:01,170 a lot of work into this and I truly appreciate everything that you've done but we 463 00:44:01,170 --> 00:44:07,575 should be focusing on goals as numbers and percentages when you use add data fields 464 00:44:07,575 --> 00:44:12,380 as a goal that's just a strategy or action to get the information needed. I 465 00:44:12,380 --> 00:44:18,186 want to hear that nine ninety six people got house I want to hear we have a ten percent 466 00:44:18,186 --> 00:44:25,728 increase and from this to this I appreciate that the problems with the number 467 00:44:25,728 --> 00:44:30,650 of outreach when they're out there you're going to be talking to them more than one 468 00:44:30,650 --> 00:44:37,672 time the entire issue with being homeless while there's a multitude of reasons 469 00:44:37,672 --> 00:44:41,476 they're homeless. They're going to need assistance whether it be buyer coming 470 00:44:41,476 --> 00:44:46,281 out because they've had heat stroke or there may be in just a too much of some 471 00:44:46,281 --> 00:44:54,556 substance or they were caught urinating in or or or or all of this outreach would be 472 00:44:54,556 --> 00:45:02,163 decreased if we had places for them to live. We cannot move people from home less to 473 00:45:02,163 --> 00:45:07,368 what affordable housing it's not the same thing if we truly want to do something 474 00:45:07,368 --> 00:45:13,709 about the homeless people in our community we have to have housing for them and that is 475 00:45:13,709 --> 00:45:17,513 permanent supported housing we can't just put them in some shelter and not give 476 00:45:17,513 --> 00:45:25,788 them the assistance they need the whole purpose so I don't get back into that again 477 00:45:25,788 --> 00:45:31,193 community outreach. It doesn't help us when four of the city council members are 478 00:45:31,193 --> 00:45:36,131 telling their constituents in newsletters and in forums that they are against 479 00:45:36,131 --> 00:45:40,201 permanent supportive housing I'm looking at you councilman rubble art even if 480 00:45:40,201 --> 00:45:46,809 you're not looking at me. We have to be in sync with what we're saying we have to be 481 00:45:46,809 --> 00:45:50,680 making true outreach on this we could have said we increase the number of people 482 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:56,819 we moved from homeless to housing. Had we accepted the university terrace homes 483 00:45:56,819 --> 00:46:00,557 money. How is this any different than the permanent supportive housing coming 484 00:46:00,557 --> 00:46:04,492 down the line are you going to be against that too or will it not matter because 485 00:46:04,492 --> 00:46:11,966 it's not next to a friend's business.

Just a quick note to what I 506 00:47:56,405 --> 00:48:01,409 discussed earlier we discussed a lot about affordable housing but most 507 00:48:01,409 --> 00:48:06,348 people don't understand what those levels are so very low income is under thirty nine 508 00:48:06,348 --> 00:48:14,748 thousand dollars low income is under sixty three thousand dollars in so um moderate 509 00:48:15,490 --> 00:48:21,429 income is eighty seven thousand so above moderate is our poor people making more 510 00:48:21,429 --> 00:48:26,168 than eighty seven thousand dollars the year. There you see the gap that we have 511 00:48:26,168 --> 00:48:33,775 which reflects the lack of progress that we're having on homelessness here in 512 00:48:33,775 --> 00:48:39,470 riverside. While we look at a neighbor the city of redlands home authorized and have put 513 00:48:39,470 --> 00:48:45,253 on has created a hundred unit permanent supportive housing project during the sense that 514 00:48:45,253 --> 00:48:51,993 it opened in the last two years two years in a row each year they decried home with 515 00:48:51,993 --> 00:49:00,993 us by thirty percent each year if that happened in riverside we would have three 516 00:49:01,203 --> 00:49:07,800 hundred less people almost fifty percent reduction in the number in riverside. Yet 517 00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:12,819 we're turning down projects that would remove people from our street it would have 518 00:49:12,819 --> 00:49:18,758 taken ninety four individuals from our street and place them in permanent supportive 519 00:49:18,758 --> 00:49:23,963 housing reducing the numbers by one third of those on the waiting list which is 520 00:49:23,963 --> 00:49:29,836 about two hundred and fifty two according to michelle davis right now on board 521 00:49:29,836 --> 00:49:37,310 seeking housing. These are home with individuals who are seeking housing right now 522 00:49:37,310 --> 00:49:42,383 the other issue are like to address is that we are under funding our home with efforts 523 00:49:42,383 --> 00:49:48,521 here and yet we have put on the ballot measure z measure z has no additional money 524 00:49:48,521 --> 00:49:55,195 coming for homeless services in the plan for the four forthcoming years. So even 525 00:49:55,195 --> 00:49:59,198 though it's listed as the beneficiary and it had received some funding from 526 00:49:59,198 --> 00:50:05,338 the original measure z it would receive no additional funding with the tax increase 527 00:50:05,338 --> 00:50:11,110 that to me is a major oversight. We have an affordable housing crisis in 528 00:50:11,110 --> 00:50:18,218 riverside. We have a home with crisis in riverside. We are leaving six hundred and 529 00:50:18,218 --> 00:50:24,910 twenty people on our street almost fifty percent of them want housing and we're 530 00:50:24,910 --> 00:50:30,163 failing to deliver to them we need to dedicate bonds we have the opportunity to 531 00:50:30,163 --> 00:50:38,304 secure twenty million in state bonds and we turned it away. So how are we going to 532 00:50:38,304 --> 00:50:42,375 build affordable housing if we're not tapping into state funding in the future is that 533 00:50:42,375 --> 00:50:47,775 going to be the responsibility of riverside taxpayers.

Brain in people and they 564 00:54:02,908 --> 00:54:07,448 stay inner city and purses are enough resources for them existing already and they 565 00:54:07,448 --> 00:54:11,917 end up in our city and I think our partners are all are not partners but our 566 00:54:11,917 --> 00:54:16,789 surrounding cities are neighbors are all too happy to just top up either prom 567 00:54:16,789 --> 00:54:21,394 anymore and it's you know the washer and dusky let it go and that kind of comes 568 00:54:21,394 --> 00:54:25,599 down to a mention about spreading out services have in other cities opportunities 569 00:54:25,599 --> 00:54:31,937 to house his services because we can't be relied upon for the entire county to house 570 00:54:31,937 --> 00:54:39,737 the publisher the county because we've historically been used that way and is 571 00:54:40,279 --> 00:54:42,281 kind of legitimate reasons for that you know the county see all of course you have 572 00:54:42,281 --> 00:54:47,153 more resources here in the county seat but until our partners you know this is say 573 00:54:47,153 --> 00:54:53,493 statewide are other states are you utilizing the state california's investment into 574 00:54:53,493 --> 00:55:01,293 housing and statewide we've seen billions of billions of dollars invested at our 575 00:55:01,300 --> 00:55:05,170 population continues to grow grow grow and it's and I think that is opportunity 576 00:55:05,170 --> 00:55:09,175 from other people who are just taken out of aberdeen is a son over there and this are 577 00:55:09,175 --> 00:55:16,785 probably more and so we really need to have kind of a more of a regional look at 578 00:55:16,785 --> 00:55:21,923 our own homes us because we do not have the resources again we say is underfunded 579 00:55:21,923 --> 00:55:25,661 a billion dollar investment seaver aside as I have a billion dollars to invest in 580 00:55:25,661 --> 00:55:30,650 this state funding national funding the way it works and goes to counties and then to 581 00:55:30,650 --> 00:55:35,603 us and we really liked our county partners into other cities are in our county to 582 00:55:35,603 --> 00:55:44,812 regionally look at this housing plan because we can't be in our own and so there's 583 00:55:44,812 --> 00:55:48,817 a lot want to go into but a scarf. Leave it there thank you thank you for 584 00:55:48,817 --> 00:55:51,620 the additional comments and I am but I would suggest don't think this is something we 585 00:55:51,620 --> 00:55:57,759 want to rush I do apologize for my conflict to having to buy certain time but what I 586 00:55:57,759 --> 00:56:00,896 would plan will work to do work with them michelle's work to set the agenda for 587 00:56:00,896 --> 00:56:05,340 future meetings is bring back some of these pieces I think a new engagement was a key 588 00:56:05,340 --> 00:56:10,380 when we heard from folks either jen or activities are again how we sold many 589 00:56:10,380 --> 00:56:13,708 breaking up the goals and we can have them and pair it with maybe a presentation 590 00:56:13,708 --> 00:56:17,646 from one of those partners that were working with a man committee can give more input 591 00:56:17,646 --> 00:56:23,585 out and hear more from community as we work to strengthen the action plan 592 00:56:23,585 --> 00:56:26,187 that could be a good approach to it. One thing I want to find is that we do we're 593 00:56:26,187 --> 00:56:31,593 eighty one of the goals and I don't know if it's intended this way but the review of 594 00:56:31,593 --> 00:56:35,630 the crime free multi housing program. We did repeal that and that was completed so I 595 00:56:35,630 --> 00:56:38,800 think that needs to be taken out or needs to be highlighted as I can 596 00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:43,738 accomplish item. It's kind of reading right now it says review so makes it sound like 597 00:56:43,738 --> 00:56:46,741 it's still intact. I don't know the intent is meant to be that re post review in 598 00:56:46,741 --> 00:56:50,780 terms of maybe more folks that have had a justice background are now house 599 00:56:50,780 --> 00:56:55,284 because of the repeal. I don't know if that's kind of the intent of it but just to 600 00:56:55,284 --> 00:57:00,155 find that that is still listed there on page sixteen of the report I believe it's 601 00:57:00,155 --> 00:57:06,828 page ten of technically the pdf but yet state speech check my progress from so 602 00:57:06,828 --> 00:57:11,633 just what they wanted to flag and I think the key page that really stands out for me hes 603 00:57:11,633 --> 00:57:16,370 only go to go for which is the increase availability effectiveness of emergency 604 00:57:16,370 --> 00:57:21,430 shelter and then you look at the general activities you know there's so much that is 605 00:57:21,430 --> 00:57:26,781 being invested. But those are still not enough beds that we know at the end of the day 606 00:57:26,781 --> 00:57:30,251 so where we are and then the transition from once you hit those days of how many 607 00:57:30,251 --> 00:57:35,924 days you could stay in those beds right continues to be that that gap and so I think 608 00:57:35,924 --> 00:57:41,329 for me really wanting to figure out in the action plan where that link is really 609 00:57:41,329 --> 00:57:46,534 being met to close now in terms of transition to other folks whether people like 610 00:57:46,534 --> 00:57:50,338 these lovely woman here who are providing in our community through other 611 00:57:50,338 --> 00:57:56,212 resources housing folks and even two and maybe in a broader conversation and I 612 00:57:56,212 --> 00:58:00,549 know this is an ever popular one but like what is it look like again for sober living 613 00:58:00,549 --> 00:58:05,354 homes and in the city or county's how many do we have or what our transitional 614 00:58:05,354 --> 00:58:11,426 spaces looking like and quite frankly I'm curious to know like where are we looking at 615 00:58:11,426 --> 00:58:16,297 an arena with the state's doing again county local governments in terms of how 616 00:58:16,297 --> 00:58:19,701 are we looking to actually partner with folks that are willing to make their homes 617 00:58:19,701 --> 00:58:25,106 become you know transitional spaces of living and is that something that we are all 618 00:58:25,106 --> 00:58:32,380 looking to continue to work on so just think there's layers we can always dive or 619 00:58:32,380 --> 00:58:35,917 deeper into just looking really quick when else. One thing I really want to flag 620 00:58:35,917 --> 00:58:40,321 cab because this comes up constantly for my commissioner of the deaf but 621 00:58:40,321 --> 00:58:43,992 in our action plan if we can have something come back for future again we have a 622 00:58:43,992 --> 00:58:48,130 discussion here which I've got we have helped member who has won the largest community 623 00:58:48,130 --> 00:58:50,999 in our community but one thing I hear from my commissioner is we need to 624 00:58:50,999 --> 00:58:55,470 have a more narrow conversation about housing are deaf community and that 625 00:58:55,470 --> 00:58:59,874 specifically that specific needs of types of housing but feeling left out of that 626 00:58:59,874 --> 00:59:05,546 dialogue and that has come a predominately so's maybe at a future date we could even 627 00:59:05,546 --> 00:59:11,190 have that be an item that we bring back and and this aspect grown seniors as well 628 00:59:11,190 --> 00:59:15,356 how are we continuing to fill that gap a need. I know I think there's always layers 629 00:59:15,356 --> 00:59:19,627 and I think a lot of the work we do here revolves around these discussions but happy 630 00:59:19,627 --> 00:59:23,432 to come bring again the action plan back maybe a couple years we could break 631 00:59:23,432 --> 00:59:28,502 up and then we can get some more feedback before we finalize it and make a 632 00:59:28,502 --> 00:59:34,709 recommendation to council for adoption but those would be my thoughts written thank you 633 00:59:34,709 --> 00:59:40,715 thank you and thank you everyone for being here today for free or feedback and 634 00:59:40,715 --> 00:59:49,457 input I appreciate it oh yes ok now we're going to close on this item moved to our 635 00:59:49,457 --> 00:59:57,532 legislative update a new chair.
