[0:12] File, it's all the needs of order. It is the housing authority of the city and county of San Francisco, board of commissioner and regular meeting. It is Thursday, April 28, 2022. It is 4.08 p.m., and I'd like to start with a roll of commissioners. President Torres.
[0:34] Commissioner Mendo. Where is it? Commissioner Harris.
[0:41] Is it?
[0:45] Commissioner Kim. Here.
[0:47] Thank you, Mr. Chair.
[0:49] And, Mr. Vice.
[0:51] That's it.
[0:53] Thank you.
[0:55] I'm going to agenda 100 to three, which is the
[0:57] announcement of the round two's volume community.
[0:59] President Torres, do you could please?
[1:06] I'm sorry. Can you repeat that? I couldn't hear what you just said.
[1:11] Sure. It is, I don't know, but three.
[1:13] We want to do the announcement of the round two.
[1:16] Thank you, Ben.
[1:17] Thank you very much.
[1:19] The housing authority of the city and county of San Francisco
[1:22] So, acknowledges that we are on the unseated ancestral homeland of the Rheumatusha Lone,
[1:29] who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula.
[1:33] As the indigenous stewards of this land and in accordance with their traditions, the
[1:38] Rheumatusha Lone have never ceded, lost, nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers
[1:44] of this place, as well as for all peoples who reside on their traditional territory.
[1:50] as guests. We recognize that we benefit from living and working on their
[1:55] traditional homeland. We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the
[2:00] ancestors, elders, and relatives of the Ramatusha Lone community and by
[2:06] affirming their sovereign rights as first peoples.
[2:19] As far as we can go to item number 4 which will be approval of the minutes of our
[2:25] last meeting, which is a regular admission meeting of March 24, 2022. Was there any public comment?
[2:34] We're running the minutes from last meeting.
[2:44] The minutes. Present for us.
[2:50] I just need to double check. Was I present at that meeting or was that the meeting that I missed?
[2:56] That was the meeting that you were out before yet for clarification. So then I'm going to have to abstain.
[3:01] Okay.
[3:02] Sure.
[3:03] Commissioner Lindo.
[3:05] Do we make a motion to a couple of minutes?
[3:08] Motion to approve.
[3:10] Thank you.
[3:11] Yep.
[3:13] In a second.
[3:16] A second.
[3:19] Yeah, thank you for that.
[3:20] Mr. Lindo.
[3:21] And then we can start with you.
[3:22] We'll call both up.
[3:23] Commissioner Lindo.
[3:24] Yes.
[3:27] Mr. Harris.
[3:30] Yes.
[3:31] I.
[3:33] Commissioner M.
[3:34] Hi.
[3:37] Commissioner Pikes.
[3:39] Aye.
[3:47] I'm standing due to my absence from the meeting. I'm not allowed to vote on the minutes
[3:50] if I'm present at the meeting. Thank you.
[3:57] And agenda item number five today will be
[3:59] part of the chief executive officer's report. And we can go to agenda item number six, which
[4:04] is the president's report.
[4:08] If we could just make sure that we have the order of business,
[4:12] do we need to move this or make just make an administrative motion to the general
[4:16] communications are now part of the chief executive's report. So we don't have to keep jumping over
[4:22] on the agenda is that okay? President Torres, we will be having an item. We had actually planned
[4:29] to bring it this month. We will definitely bring it next month, just to update the agenda and we'll
[4:34] make sure you have it next month so that moving forward, there is no general communications. It's
[5:00] We will have it. We have a lot of agendas. I did say at many meetings ago, but we've had so many changes that we weren't sure if we were going to make additional changes. President Torres to the agenda. So I think now that things have come down and we've completed phase one and phase two. We have a better idea of where we sit with both the corporation and the commission. I don't know if our commissioners have come down, including myself, but I'm glad you've come down. Thank you.
[5:29] Just do we have any members of the public that are joining the meeting in person?
[5:50] I'm glad you made it. I'm just having a trying to have a sense of a number of people that are coming in to make sure that you have that level of access at our meetings at the same time that we're trying to do this hybrid work.
[6:03] So I hope this is working for you and it's not too inconvenient in the room. How does it? How does it feel in the room there? Is it okay?
[6:10] It feels it's nice. It's okay. I'm fine.
[6:15] I have to say, you know, a long time, President Torres.
[6:20] It would be good to see you.
[6:22] It would be good to, as well.
[6:26] Well, thank you.
[6:27] So no real updates right now, it's just, it's very nice to see this kind of hybrid work happening right now to make sure that we maintain this access behalf of the community to the rooms and to the meetings and just to remind everyone that it's as issues come up, please do let us know as commissioners or if there are items that you wish that we will be bringing up for review so we can discuss those perhaps in our general public comment section or rather hear them in the general public comment section.
[6:57] comments section. And then in addition we can discuss them at the end of public comment
[7:02] and or during final commissioner comments, which I think we're going to need to make
[7:10] use of here as item number 13 when those items come up. Beyond that, nothing else to report.
[7:17] Right now I do have a shameless plug for my formal role as a assessor which is
[7:24] a state planning program, free of state plans that I'm hoping black homeowners can take
[7:30] advantage of for those who either have market or below market rate units that they've
[7:36] acquired, or even small businesses, a state planning work that can save individuals thousands
[7:42] of dollars, through a partnership we're able to provide that free of cost or low cost depending
[7:48] on the income levels. Please do reach out to Hera housing economic rights advocates as they
[7:55] are our partner in doing that work. And then also in general was wonderful to be in Chinatown
[8:01] earlier today as more and more events for the public are taking place that our residents and
[8:07] neighbors continue to manage up. And I know that while I was not able to attend I heard very
[8:13] good things about the extravaganza and also some of the Easter events and holiday events
[8:19] it took place for public housing residents. So I just wanted to say thank you to the staff
[8:23] to the community leadership who made that possible and to the executive team. Thank you so much.
[8:37] Thank you, President Torres.
[8:41] We can go to you item 17, which is general public comment.
[8:45] And I just want to note that this portion of the agenda is not intended for debate or discussion
[8:49] with the commissioner's staff please simply state your business or the matter you wish the commissioner's
[8:55] staff to be aware of is not appropriate for commissioners to engage in debate or respond on
[9:00] issue not properly set in the publicly known as meeting agenda. If you have questions or if you
[9:04] would like to bring a matter of the commission's attention please contact the Department of Government Affairs
[9:09] and policy of the housing authority of the city and county of Stanford Cisco at sf h a public comment
[9:17] And that's our H&A.org, but that being said, is very general public comment.
[9:24] For me to base it, I see that your hand was out, so I'm going to let you in here.
[9:28] If
[10:01] Oh, no, I'm sorry with having technical difficulties. Just regard that. Oh, I see. Sorry about that. Okay. No public comment. Okay.
[10:12] Is there any general public comment besides that?
[10:20] Sounds good. And we can go on to item number eight today, which is the tenant representative of course. Is there any from CCSD or PhDA that would like to make a report to the board of commissioners?
[10:33] Is
[10:43] there?
[10:44] Yeah.
[10:45] Go ahead.
[10:45] Okay.
[10:46] Okay.
[10:46] All right.
[10:50] Yes.
[10:51] Specifically probably CCSQ or DHDA.
[10:54] Okay.
[10:55] No.
[11:04] There's a comment.
[11:05] Okay.
[11:06] Yeah.
[11:07] And then.
[11:07] So we can also go to public comment for the tenant representative reports.
[11:11] That
[11:19] sounds great.
[11:21] We can move on to the chief executive office report, which is item number nine.
[11:25] and we didn't want to have CTO tiny letters use reports to be after item number nine A and
[11:34] nine B. As long as there's a consensus from the board to do so.
[11:42] Can you show the agenda
[11:43] again so we can see it on the screen? Yes.
[11:49] And I see that's not listed. It is not the notice
[11:51] of agenda. Sorry, President Torres, but the chief executive officer board is broken down
[11:56] to 2022, 23-annual plan, type of one or plan update and the financial part.
[12:03] And so we're asking for this to keep your time ready as you report out to go after that one or plan update.
[12:11] So I'm sorry, Ben, and I'm having trouble hearing you.
[12:16] You want nine to go after what?
[12:21] So if I may, currently the chief executive officer's report is agenda item number nine.
[12:27] and there's A, which is the annual plan update,
[12:31] B, the high performer plan update,
[12:33] and C, the finance report.
[12:35] We'd like the chief executive officer
[12:37] to actually give her report
[12:38] after the individual staff reports.
[12:41] So we would start with 9A 2022, 2023 annual plan.
[12:46] Right, yeah, let's do that.
[12:47] Okay,
[12:50] great.
[12:51] So Bennett, if you don't mind putting up
[12:53] the annual plan, PowerPoint, that would be great.
[12:58] And so commissioners, we are beginning the annual plan process that I think almost all the commissioners are familiar with at this point.
[13:05] It's an annual process by which the housing authority is required to provide an update to HUD on where we are with our goals, but also where we plan to go in the next year.
[13:17] and so let me just jump in my own. Okay, next slide, please.
[13:27] So what is the public housing agency plan?
[13:30] It's a comprehensive guide to public housing agency policies, programs, operations and strategies
[13:35] for meeting both the local housing needs and the local housing goals. Next slide, please.
[13:44] The involvement is
[13:45] really largely community and stakeholder involvement. The program participants include our public housing
[13:50] jurisdiction-wide councils, who we've been in touch with already, and housing choice voucher
[13:55] participants due to the conversions that we've had. The housing choice voucher participants
[14:00] now meet with the public housing jurisdiction-wide council. We started doing this about two years ago
[14:05] because most of the public housing residents will fall under the administrative plan and we felt
[14:11] that it was important that they have a say in the policies that will be impacting them as well.
[14:15] I'm community stakeholders include but are not limited to community advocates, city departments and community based organizations.
[14:23] Next slide please.
[14:29] The benefits of the annual plan process is that ensures resident needs are being addressed and become more involved in the issues that directly impact them.
[14:37] It provides the authority and opportunity to prioritize resident suggestions regarding the physical condition of developments, physical or management improvements that can be made and needed.
[14:47] and residents' health efficiency needs within capital improvement activities as well as
[14:51] supportive services for residents.
[14:53] It also provides our community stakeholders a voice in the process and that voice is
[14:58] very impactful.
[15:00] The commission will be at the commission meeting on May 26, 2022 at 4 p.m. We also have a meeting with the residents. And then we also have a meeting with the partners that we have that are both coming up next week. And we're in the process of scheduling a meeting with the developers as well with our developer partners. Next slide, please.
[15:22] So the annual plan consists of the actual document that is the annual plan, the admissions and continued occupancy policy.
[15:29] any policy changes to the ACOP, the changes to the administrative plan, which governs the HCV or Section 8, any capital fund documents that have to be submitted to HUD, any resident advisory board comments, and then there are a number of required forms that also must be submitted, one of which I should mention is signed by the city to say that our plan is in adherence and is essentially falls into the overall plan of the city that's called the consolidated plan.
[15:59] next slide please.
[16:04] So this is changes and we're bringing to you during the comment period I think
[16:08] traditionally we tend to bring them at the last meeting before they do so we're we are bringing
[16:14] them to you earlier this year we you'll hear these comments today and then you'll also hear from us
[16:21] at the committee meeting next month and then follow it up by the commission meeting with the goal being
[16:26] that you provide feedback as we move forward so that we have a final product when we come back to the
[16:31] commission a month. Note that tonight we're sharing with you what exactly is out for the public
[16:36] to comment on. And these are the suggested changes that the housing authority has at this time
[16:41] that obviously are subject to change as we continue through the 45-day comment period.
[16:46] So the first suggested change is section 4-3-C-2-B which is tenant-based HCB targeted funding and
[16:52] definitions. These are referred to as limited preferences and just as a reminder to the
[16:59] commissioners, those who were here and were not, these were created in response to really
[17:04] a recommendation that was provided at one point from HUD because we were underutilized
[17:09] many years ago in the HDD program. At this point, we still have a number of wait lists
[17:15] that we are trying to exhaust. Some of these have actually already been issued and we are
[17:22] just looking at all of our preference categories to try to determine how we can really streamline
[17:27] and effectuate our processes.
[17:29] So this is one of the recommended suggestions
[17:32] would be to remove the limited preferences,
[17:35] and then continue on and really try to focus
[17:38] on our existing wait lists that we have,
[17:41] as opposed to referrals that are coming in
[17:44] where wait lists may not exist.
[17:46] Next slide, please.
[17:51] This particular slide is 4-3-C-2,
[17:54] Rad Site-Based Waiting List.
[17:56] The only change that we're proposing
[17:57] is what you see in the bottom, which is bolded and underlined, and it was a clarification
[18:03] that was recommended by our MoCD partners earlier in the year, which was just to clarify
[18:09] that we're talking about mixed families that are currently residing at non-rad units
[18:14] at HopeSF sites. As a reminder, one of the reasons that we have talked about this particular
[18:20] policy is because we know that when public housing residents convert to HCV, if they're
[18:28] mixed families, their rents are actually at the contracted rent, I should say, is actually
[18:33] lower in a rad unit than it is in a PBV unit. Their rent may not change, but if at some point
[18:39] they get some market value, then the contract rent amount does matter. And so this is a change
[18:43] that would continue to protect our mixed families from increasing rent prices.
[18:48] Next slide please.
[18:51] This is Section 432D, and this is for the HOPESF sites.
[18:56] This is another proposition that was brought to us by our MACD partners, and it was to ensure
[19:01] that the families with the right of return expanded preference received the 15 points, and
[19:08] this would be added on to each of the preferences under HOPESF.
[19:12] Next slide please.
[19:12] This is, it's a bit four, four one, four, exhibit four in general are all the definitions
[19:21] of the preferences, and these are listed in alphabetical order.
[19:26] The only change that is recommended here again in partnership with our city agency is to
[19:31] add what you see on the bottom right-hand corner, and that's the bolded and underlined words
[19:37] that say and referred by the mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development, and really
[20:00] Board of Supervisors legislation and similar to the certificate of preferences that are provided by the mayor's office, they would also be the ones referring this particular preference to those families with a right of return. Next slide, please.
[20:16] Section 4-3-C2-D, this is a PBV site-based waiting list. This is a conversation that we have continuously had for quite some time with our partners at Dr. Davis. There is a commitment to ensure that those families who have
[20:32] been who have certificate of preferences in particularly who have been displaced by
[20:39] the film or redevelopments or baby redevelopments continue to have an opportunity to live at
[20:45] the Dr. Davis Center. So this particular opportunity would allow up to 30 applicants to continue
[20:52] to be referred by the Dr. Davis Center for units in the Dr. Davis Center. This is largely because
[21:00] the individuals have been difficult to, as I understand it, they've been difficult to actually
[21:06] locate and then by the time all the paperwork is garnered, the opportunity may have been passed
[21:11] that. And so we want to ensure that that opportunity continues before we move on to the next group
[21:16] on the list. Next slide, please. Linda, before you go to that, can you go two slides back?
[21:22] Yes, I'm going to ask Bennett because he's manning.
[21:25] No, sorry, one more forward.
[21:28] Okay.
[21:28] So in this one, when you added and referred,
[21:32] can you just explain again?
[21:34] Do you mean or referred?
[21:37] Because else qualified and referred.
[21:40] Means there are two steps when it used to be one.
[21:44] Is that the intention or is?
[21:46] Can you just talk a little bit more about?
[21:49] Yeah, for the.
[21:50] Yeah, great question actually.
[21:52] So for the individual, it's still one step.
[21:55] it's just that the one step is they're going to the mayor's office of housing and community development
[22:00] for the preference. And so the difference is this clarifies that most CD is actually the one that
[22:05] issues that certificate of preference or actually refers the individual. So those, they won't be
[22:12] coming to us for that certificate of preference.
[22:16] Does that help?
[22:21] Go ahead. It helps in that. It explains
[22:23] it. It's all about the rollout and not having people think, okay, it's here. Now I'm going to get
[22:28] bounced over here so there's another process that I have to now do.
[22:34] Correct. That's what we're trying to avoid.
[22:40] Okay. So I think we're on slide 21. Okay. Okay. Great.
[22:47] So the all HOPESF sites on offsite preferences. We were proposing to remove
[22:53] the site base waiting list and add developments that the authority has
[22:58] approved for HOPESF residents. But I will say I think in the in the in the
[23:02] interest of transparency. This is likely going to be removed. We just had a pretty long conversation
[23:07] with some of our partners around just the real on the ground operational reasons to keep these
[23:15] preferences within each one of the PVV groups and Kendra Crawford and myself were on and we talked
[23:21] through this. So we want to share this because we want to be transparent that this was on the April
[23:26] for lists that, you know, invited public comments. But with that said, we do see some value
[23:32] in keeping some of these preferences, and this particular slide will likely completely
[23:37] be removed by next month.
[23:39] So just a quick thing, just in terms of understanding this, maybe it's because I'm involved in contract
[23:44] negotiations with the city and all this redlining of things, just trying to understand this.
[23:48] So red is current language, bold and underline is new language.
[23:56] If it's like this, it's existing language.
[23:59] So in this particular slide, I know you're saying that will probably change,
[24:04] but for this existing slide is the proposed language strikeout of all of this?
[24:11] Yeah, we would just be, we would just be ensuring that everything that is,
[24:17] Yes, so let me go back. So if it's in bread, that's the current language or that's a comment. So in this case, we're saying that we're going to remove all sites that do not have site based waiting list and add developments that the authority has approved for hope best of residents.
[24:30] So it's either going to be the actual language or what the proposed action is.
[25:00] Consistency and understanding and transparency. It might be helpful if you had a little, like, if you had a little table at the bottom of red means this, bold, underlying means this, right? Like, if it's like, if it's just regular text, it just means it's existing. Or if you're going to strike, if you, if you propose to delete, you strike it out. And then there's just a little like legend at the bottom, because it's hard. I think it just helps to understand each slide. And since I'm on a roll on comment.
[25:29] the other part that I would sort of ask also thinking about this in terms of just sort of
[25:36] for not everyone will have the benefit of hearing the presentation and having you go through it
[25:42] and as I was going through it it's all it would also be helpful for me if I understood
[25:47] it very briefly right the why behind this like why are you doing this so you might have
[25:54] current language proposed but but why and then the potential impact. Who is it going to benefit?
[26:01] Who may it not benefit? I think just putting each slide, having that information on the slide,
[26:08] I think is helpful to understand this and it's also sort of increasing openness and transparency
[26:15] about it because not everyone will know why why are we proposing the change.
[26:22] I think that I think it's important to sort of put that on there clearly as well and not just do it in a presentation, but actually have it have it outlined.
[26:33] Okay, I think that's fair and we do I will say in the actual on the website, it's actually I think more clear because it's a spreadsheet that says proposed and new so you can clearly see the difference.
[26:44] It's just okay too much to place here, but I will definitely make it more clear when we bring it back to committee next month.
[26:51] Great. I mean, I think it's good to have proposed in that, but also the why the explanation
[26:55] I think is also helpful. And just one last thing. So if you are talking about it's on
[27:00] the website, I did just, and I had mentioned this before and I still don't know the why on
[27:06] my end, but if you are talking about having things put on the the website, at least on the
[27:13] commission information, if I'm on a PC, I can access the documents, the new site and the
[27:19] packet in the agenda. If I'm on my Mac, I actually cannot access the commission documents.
[27:26] And so, depending on the, and I tried Apple Chrome and Apple Safari, and I can't get,
[27:35] I can't access the documents through that operating system. So, if we're expecting,
[27:42] expecting that we're putting things on a site, and that people can look at them, we might want
[27:47] to just just check and I'm totally fine with using no actually if you
[27:51] Luana and it's not everyone else but I did try to do a couple different things
[27:55] to see if it was something on my end that was that was like glitching but you know
[28:03] I this is the first I've heard so let me talk to our IT director Luna and see
[28:08] what it might be I have a Mac at home and I'll all suggest it on myself thank you
[28:14] Thanks for bringing that's our attention. And I don't think it'll be your last comments,
[28:17] so don't worry about that. Don't worry about your comments.
[28:22] We can go to the next slide, please
[28:24] be in it.
[28:30] So periodic payments, this actually comes of a California Supreme Court case that came out
[28:39] fairly recently, wherein there was a question around whether individuals who received
[28:46] IHS payments to take care of their developmentally disabled family members should be exempted from their that income should be exempted from their annual recertification rent calculation and we believe that it should we have been in discussions with head for quite some time around this and so at this point we want to actually propose policy that clarifies for staff what will be required in that particular instance.
[29:10] And so that in this particular case what you're seeing here is an addition of the really the requirements which would be a verification of the developmental disability from a doctor, the Golden Gate Regional Center.
[29:23] Any third party that exclusively serves clientele with development disabilities or documentation for school children in K through 12.
[29:32] And that could be anything like from an IEP to any other kind of documentation from the school district.
[29:38] We believe it'll make it easier for staff to understand what to request and it's also
[29:42] easier for the individual to be very clear on what it is that they need to provide.
[29:48] Next slide, please.
[29:49] See you right.
[29:50] It wasn't my last comment.
[29:51] Going back, when you say doctor, do you mean a healthcare provider or do you mean literally
[29:57] an MD?
[29:58] Could it be an NP?
[30:00] So, but if you say the Golden Gate Regional Center, is it anyone who works for the Golden Gate Regional Center, regardless of if they're an MD? Yes, because that is their area specialization.
[30:24] Should we move on or do you have a follow up questions on that one?
[30:29] Okay. And we, and just to be clear, I'm sure can we do have the discretion. So if you'd like to see that expanded, just, we can, we can do so. I think it's worth exploring.
[30:40] because I think it's it's unnecessarily limiting when other areas are more
[30:46] expansive and I think we should be open open to having someone who is
[30:52] licensed credential to be able to make that assessment and not limit it to
[30:56] just an MD necessarily. Okay we'll definitely do that before the next meeting.
[31:01] Thank you. This next item is a recommendation that came from our internal staff
[31:10] And this particular, this particular when I am going to read because this is a shift for us.
[31:18] And what it would right now, there's nothing like this in our policy.
[31:21] So it would be in the specifically around the owner landlord section.
[31:26] And it would say that at the conclusion of each quarter of the calendar year, March, June, September, November,
[31:32] the authority would initiate a review of the housing assistance payments for the largest TBV property owners.
[31:37] A quarterly programmatic and HAP analysis report will be provided to the owner that
[31:42] includes a summary of each owner, property manager's utilization rates, payment records,
[31:47] and any hold or abatement that were put in place during the quarter.
[31:51] The review will provide the owner, property manager, and opportunity to enter any missing
[31:55] payment requests for the quarter.
[31:57] Each report will include a deadline to notify the authority of any discrepancies on the
[32:01] report.
[32:02] Upon conclusion of the deadline, the authority will schedule a meeting with the owner, property
[32:06] manager within 30 calendar days to discuss and finalize the contents of the report,
[32:11] concluding with the confirmatory letter wherein both parties agree that the content of the report
[32:15] is true and correct. The confirmatory letter must be signed in return to the authority within
[32:20] seven calendar days of the meeting. The confirmatory letter confirms that both parties agree to closing
[32:26] payments for the quarter report reviewed. If the authority does not receive a signed confirmatory
[32:30] letter and owner has failed to request an extension before the deadline provided by the authority,
[32:35] The authority will close the quarterly review and it will be implied that the owner intended
[32:40] to is in agreement with the content.
[32:42] Failure to respond or participate in the process where the proper parties have been
[32:46] notified will waive any claims to unpaid half for the period covered by the report.
[32:52] And so the solution or the problem that is trying to be resolved here is that after a certain
[32:56] period of time the housing authority cannot recoup funds from HUD.
[32:59] and sometimes we receive these requests incredibly late and so the housing authority ends up having to pay those out of different funds and they're not reimbursed by that.
[33:10] And so we want to be clear with our partners that there's a process, there's a policy in place and implement that policy so that it can get on everybody's budget schedules and everybody's financing schedules as well.
[33:36] I'm sorry, Commissioner Lindo. I didn't hear the beginning of your question.
[33:41] The issue of a property on filing and it's such a late time, is that something because the base draft the ball because the housing authority dropped the ball.
[33:48] So it could and mom and you can feel free to jump in, but as I understand it, it could
[33:53] be both.
[33:54] But this is really providing everyone an opportunity to get on the same page without
[33:58] delaying it to the point where we can't get a reimbursement for that.
[34:04] Thank you.
[34:05] Thank you.
[34:11] Okay.
[34:12] If there's no questions, we'll move on to the next slide.
[34:17] This is a repayment policy, family debts to the housing authority.
[34:22] So the, this, the current language is that where families are unable to repeat debt within
[34:27] than 30 days the housing authority offers
[34:29] to enter into a repayment agreement.
[34:31] If the family refuses to repay the debt
[34:33] and does not enter into a repayment agreement,
[34:36] the PHA essential terminate assistance
[34:38] in accordance with the policies in chapter 12,
[35:00] Outside of this, that's the current policy language is where you have individuals that have moved out of the program. And now they're trying to get into other housing. And so we have had instances where individuals will request confirmation of a repayment agreement. Most of the time that repayment agreement may not exist, but they're not able to get into the new location unless they have a clear debt, right, a clear debt with a housing authority. And so depending on the housing authority, some may request that the
[35:29] full debt be paid, some may request evidence
[35:32] that there's a good faith effort,
[35:33] which is essentially the repayment agreement.
[35:36] So the housing authority is proposing
[35:37] that individuals applying to other PHA programs
[35:40] that are requesting evidence of good standing
[35:43] for a program outside of the housing authority,
[35:46] who are no longer participants in the public housing program
[35:49] or HCV program, but maintain a debt with the housing authority,
[35:53] pay their full debt prior to receiving a letter
[35:55] of zero debt from the authority.
[35:57] In the past, these have been reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
[36:01] There are a few of them, but what I will say is that where we've entered into repayment
[36:05] agreements, we have not continued receiving payments after the individual gets into
[36:10] the new housing program.
[36:12] And so, this is a suggestion.
[36:15] We are open to feedback, and we do have a meeting with our community partners next week,
[36:19] where I do believe this is going to be one of the topics that we discuss.
[36:22] If
[36:26] there's no questions, we can move on to the next slide.
[36:32] The next slide is really just cleanup in just for transparency sake.
[36:36] We didn't have to put this here, but it's that the current language refers to a section
[36:40] in the admin plan and that particular section actually doesn't refer to what it says it's
[36:46] going to refer to.
[36:48] So it's just removing it for cleanup purposes.
[36:50] There's no substantive change otherwise.
[36:52] And then the next slide is just informing everyone that they can contact me with any questions.
[37:01] We do have just for the commissioners' knowledge, we have a meeting with our legal aid partners
[37:06] on Wednesday.
[37:07] We have a meeting with our larger stakeholder partners that includes legal aid but also
[37:12] service providers at the end of next week.
[37:15] We have a meeting with our jurisdiction-wide council later next week as well.
[37:20] And the only meeting that we're we have yet to schedule that I'm working on as we speak is the a partner with a meeting with the developers, which we thought of I thought of inviting them actually with the partners, but I do think that given the change in chapter 13 it would probably be beneficial to have a meeting just with our developer and property management partner separately.
[37:41] Any questions.
[37:42] Thank
[37:45] you very much, Linda.
[37:49] Maybe it's just for a separate conversation, but I am interested in just better understanding
[37:56] the implications around some of the wait list.
[38:01] Recommendations, it doesn't need to be immediate, but just as we move forward into the coming
[38:05] weeks, as we near the next kind of like midway points on the 45-day comment period.
[38:12] Yes, no problem.
[38:14] Right.
[38:14] Thank you.
[38:20] Any other questions from commissioners?
[38:27] So then we can move on to 9B, the high performer plan update.
[38:34] The commissioners will remember that the Housing Authority received a default letter in March
[38:40] of 2019, and that particular default letter required the Housing Authority to contract out
[38:46] both its HCB program, which it did in 2019, and then its public housing program, which is
[38:53] completed this year and the delay was due to obviously the COVID-19 international pandemic.
[39:00] Part of the agreement with HUD was also entering into what's called a high performer plan
[39:05] wherein the housing authority determines with HUD and with the city what some of the actions that
[39:12] we wanted to take and needed to take would be to get into a high performer status as an agency.
[39:18] Next slide, please. Within the high-performer plan goals, there's also a subsection which we call the corrective action plan, and that is less for HUD, more for the housing authority as a guide to how we're going to implement those high-performer plan goals.
[39:34] Both plans with the housing authority we've tried to merge together just for purposes of internally for keeping the timeline straight.
[40:00] We have been in the last couple of years and we do believe that we are on track to have completed all of the deliverables by December of 2022. Next slide, please.
[40:14] So this is the actual document that you're looking at. I won't go into every single item, but we, in this particular slide, just a high level. We did place all of the items that have been closed out as of today.
[40:29] We have a spreadsheet that we keep with HUD, essentially, there's a target accomplishment
[40:34] date that everybody agrees to.
[40:36] There's the date that HUD receives the deliverable, which they normally fill in.
[40:40] And then there's the actual date that HUD closes the deliverable out, which is normally provided
[40:45] to us through a separate communication.
[40:49] So you can see that under the financial management, HCV, repositioning, asset management, strategic
[40:56] of plans. As of, you know, today we've closed out about half of our items. Next slide, please.
[41:08] These are the items that we have remaining. I'm actually in communication with HUD just
[41:13] confirming that we, I believe that 1.1 and 1.2 are actually closed out. And this isn't,
[41:19] this is just providing an updated two-year cap on all actions necessary to be a highly
[41:23] functional agency and report implementation progress quarterly to the board and then
[41:28] a board and had approved corrective action plan. Outside of those two, everything
[41:33] starting with 1.3 and on is outstanding. The next deliverable that we're going to have
[41:40] is in June and it's a completion of a strategic plan. After that, you'll see a number of close
[41:47] Those out dates that are in September, our finance team is working diligently to ensure
[41:51] that we do close out of those as well.
[41:55] Those include the IPA audit with no repeat findings, public housing quick ratio greater
[42:00] than one, public housing less expendable, net assets ratio, the men are greater than one,
[42:06] public housing debt service coverage ratio greater than one, AP score less than 1.5, adjusted
[42:13] administrative fee equity, also 930-2022, and then months of operating reserves at least
[42:19] four months, also 930-2022.
[42:23] The asset management portion, the next item in September, is developing and maintaining
[42:28] the portfolio inventory report of all SFAJ properties, including but not limited to public housing,
[42:33] HOPE-SF, HOPE-6, Rad properties, PBV and other groundless properties, also in progress.
[42:39] After September of the next due date, you'll see are all in December.
[42:44] And the majority of these are essentially completing out these tasks.
[42:47] So you'll see under the corrective action plan section 1.3, it's a completion of all tasks
[42:53] in the cap for corrective action plan.
[42:56] You'll see in financial management unfunded pension and OPEB costs that the housing authority
[43:01] completes a plan to address the $37 million of unfunded legacy costs that will remain post-conversion
[43:08] of SFHA's public housing assets.
[43:12] And then you'll see going to repositioning the sections 4.1
[43:16] through 4.6 are removing all of the public housing units
[43:22] in Sunnydale and Petro from the public housing subsidy program.
[43:27] 4.7 quarterly repositioning report of all non repositioned
[43:32] page assets.
[43:33] And then 4.8 you have all public housing units removed
[43:36] from inventory in the pick system except for North Beach and Plaza, which would be the only two sites
[43:42] that will still have some remaining public housing units. And then very lastly, under asset management,
[43:47] section 5.3, the housing authority would have demonstrated to HUD that it can provide safe,
[43:52] decent housing and perform asset management duties independently and effectively for all properties,
[43:59] such that SFHA will have a global approach to asset management that uses industry standard asset
[44:04] and management technologies and techniques.
[44:08] So that's a very high level view of where we are
[44:11] with our high performer plan.
[44:13] We will be bringing this back to you quarterly
[44:15] throughout the rest of the year,
[44:17] but we felt was important that year
[44:18] where we've completed our tasks and then where we are now.
[44:25] Any questions on the high performer plan
[44:28] or the high performer agreement?
[44:32] Based on our conversations with HUD, where do they feel that we are right now in terms of our progress or the stat that they're their perceptions of our progress right now with the plan.
[44:47] On the high performer plan in particular or overall.
[44:51] Just overall in terms of some of the general comments that you've been in your check-ins with what are they telling us.
[44:58] So we have a monthly check-in with head-
[45:00] We need to ensure that, you know, I'm trying to think of how to phrase it, but there are definitely some areas where we need to progress. And I think some of those areas include, you know, maybe more efficiency around our intake. They were really impressed recently at our certification rates on the HCV side. They're much higher than they had been in a couple of months.
[45:30] But it really just depends, I think, on the program and the particular issue.
[45:34] But overall, I mean, we have been complemented repeatedly on the improvement.
[45:40] And our director, CEO, let us you may have more to add to that.
[45:55] Thank you, President Torres, for that question.
[45:57] I would fully agree with Ms. Mason on her recap of our experience thus far with HUD.
[46:07] I think one of the things that Linda did make a comment on are some of our processes as it relates to our housing choice voucher program intake and so forth and on.
[46:20] But I think it's not a secret. We are working with our contractors. We are depending on our contractors and those processes.
[46:28] and we as an agency continue to partner with our contractors to really work on certain
[46:38] areas within the program so that they become strengthened and we become more effective
[46:45] and efficient in our entire program.
[46:54] And I think one of the places that we really have made major progress and I always like
[47:02] to go back to that area because it is really the foundation of the health of an organization
[47:08] is the great strides that RCFO and his team has made from a financial perspective has made such
[47:17] a major difference in our organization, the function of our organization, and where we are headed
[47:25] as an organization. And so in order to continue to make strong strides in this trajectory to
[47:33] being a high performing agency, we really have to make sure that our financial
[47:39] acumen of that organization remains strong and continues to move forward. And we see that evidence
[47:46] in our last single audit report. And so I'm hopeful as we come up to the end of our next audit
[47:55] which will be soon, we will see that continued improvement not only on the financial side,
[48:01] but in some of the areas in our program. So thank you for that question.
[48:08] I'm sorry. Just in terms of the when
[48:18] the commission is hearing our general reports on a monthly
[48:27] basis.
[48:30] Do you feel that there is any additional alignment or real alignment that should be happening
[48:35] on what's being communicated to us within that timeline of meetings that can help you or help us
[48:44] gain a better understanding of where we are accelerating among those high-performer plan priorities?
[48:52] or do we feel as an authority right now that those high performer requirements that are seeking to be met are very specific to while not minimizing them, checking the boxes as we're moving forward.
[49:09] I just want to make sure that we don't lose sight of the timeline in which we need to complete the plan, the goals we have in which to do so.
[49:18] and then also, as you were saying, the necessary sustained actions needed to ensure that the level of performance,
[50:00] As for us as a commission, how what we're hearing on a monthly basis is directly in line with those ultimate highest level goals. Sure. Thank you for that question. So one of the things that we could do that might be really helpful for our board for you all. And I think. And thank you for the question and helping us to think through this. I think we are interested in doing the day-to-day work.
[50:29] and together making sure that we are checking the necessary boxes and so forth and on.
[50:34] And so what might be helpful for you to understand that we hear are the boxes that we need to check.
[50:40] And here is how we're meeting them as an example on a month to month basis or every other month depending on what the schedule is.
[50:49] We're talking about our financial position. And so what we could do is say.
[50:54] Number 3.32 in the high-performer plan requires this, all the financial points that are in our high-performer plan and connected to that presentation.
[51:08] So then it would be an indication to you, the board, that oh, we are meeting. The agency is on track.
[51:17] there is no risk and we are meeting that requirement.
[51:23] So we could literally take each one of those requirements
[51:27] in our high performer plan and connect them to our presentations,
[51:32] which I think would be more meaningful than going through line by line,
[51:38] each of the requirements by HUD of us in a high performer plan,
[51:45] if that would be helpful.
[51:48] I don't think it needs to be an either or.
[51:51] I think it's both and does the situation.
[51:54] What just came up for me right now is that, obviously,
[51:59] you and the team have been doing such a great job
[52:01] of getting us on a path towards normalcy.
[52:05] I don't mean that in terms of moving backwards
[52:07] just in terms of we're not in crisis in the same way
[52:11] that the authority for many of us
[52:12] who've been on this commission for many years.
[52:14] have seen in terms of crisis management, fiscal despair, that we have been in, but rather
[52:24] we're in a more managed place today, when the high-performer plan is brought to us,
[52:30] the first things that are brought back to me are we are still an agency in reform, and
[52:36] that there are very particular elements that we remain focused on to fully reform the
[52:42] agency, which are separate apart from any of the other exceptional actions or restructurings
[52:48] that we want to engage in that will allow us to better serve that will allow the success of
[52:57] the agency to continue while also allow us to better serve the public. I'm just trying to make
[53:03] sense of how do we keep ourselves, we are a combination of old timers and new timers on the commission
[53:11] and what comes up for me with this is that it's another way for us to anchor ourselves in.
[53:17] The policy decisions that we're considering into what end as we finish our reform efforts and then begin this next chapter, which has already begun.
[53:27] Certainly. And bear point, we can make a connection to, I think it's important to make the connection to the reporting that we do.
[53:36] And another thing that we could do on a quarterly basis is pop up the high
[53:44] performer plan and walk you through it in a more comprehensive way. But I think
[53:51] from my perspective, it is important to connect to the day-to-day work that's
[53:55] going on in our report. I think it makes it real. And then on a quarterly basis or if
[54:04] like more often than pop up the actual entire document and walk through it and say,
[54:10] oh, we've met here, we've talked to you about it, numerous occasions, we've done this, we've
[54:16] done that, so forth and here's what's outstanding of the 12 actions required three-year outstanding,
[54:24] standing, we remain on target.
[54:27] Or, go ahead.
[54:29] Yeah.
[54:30] No, and then once we have a clear understanding
[54:34] of what that portfolio is
[54:35] that we're tracking along those lines,
[54:38] what are some of the more innovative pathways
[55:00] For this commission to frame its mind around, um, voucher expedition, um, uh, clear goals that
[55:08] are value based around, um, why we're updating the annual plan in specific ways that are connected
[55:14] to our strategic goals. Um, just so that once again, the commission can be in a place of how
[55:20] we can best focus ourselves, um, as part of our monthly responsibilities with you. Of through
[55:25] our lens is asking those questions of beyond just looking at an annual plan and some of the
[55:32] more intricate line item questions that we have, but how is that ultimately serving our
[55:37] strategic goal? I just found this very helpful to remind me of that anchoring opportunity.
[55:47] I don't know how other commissioners feel or it just can often feel that there's basic
[55:53] basic questions around budgeting, around financing,
[55:55] around success of the program, rent collection, et cetera.
[55:59] Some more engaged community engagement aspects.
[56:03] Obviously, we've been more concerned about
[56:05] how residents have been taken care of
[56:07] through the very specific frame of the pandemic.
[56:10] And now that we're moving through that
[56:11] into a more endemic phase,
[56:13] I think it would be good just to remind ourselves
[56:15] of what is it that we truly want to be paying close attention to
[56:20] for the benefit of the authority.
[56:21] In addition to those smaller but no less important focused items of community engagement events that are happening a connection with our residents connection with our contractors, etc. But but again, these are just my.
[56:35] These are just my responses.
[56:38] Thank you.
[56:38] president for this. Yeah, I don't think you.
[56:51] Moving on.
[56:56] So we could go to the next step before
[56:59] for public housing. We'll go through triple back with CEO time about as you to view her to
[57:05] take advantage of options report.
[57:09] Whatever the whatever the best flow is for you all is fine by me
[57:14] is as long as it's fine with other commissions. Let's just continue on and then I'll be last. It'll
[57:20] We'll be fine. Thank you for that offer.
[57:24] Great.
[57:25] The audit for is going to be presented today by Roy Lowe.
[57:36] Well, thank you everyone. I hope everyone can hear me clearly.
[57:40] After all, no, right now I think it's a good evening commissioners.
[57:45] My name is Roy Lowe, budget analyst for housing authority
[57:48] of the city of San Francisco.
[57:50] Today we'll be presenting our financials for the six months and did much.
[57:54] the first 2022. You know, one comment prior to going into these financials as we've hit the
[58:02] halfway point, our discussion will more focus on our yielding projection and how that compares
[58:09] to the approved budget as opposed to just what the historical values are presented by the
[58:24] housing for the first six months of this year 2022 provided an income of $656,000.
[58:34] Global revenues on a year-to-date basis came in at $7.1 million, and that's likely below
[58:41] our year-to-date budget of $7.8 million by $736,000. Two factors contributed to this negative
[58:50] the variance, kind of revenues came in grow where we have budgeting, and we anticipate
[58:57] that between now and year end, that negative variance will probably grow as some of the
[59:05] closures of the public housing, probably wasn't captured in the approved budget, so that's
[59:13] by the approved budget will be higher than what we are
[59:16] suggesting on your end basis.
[59:19] Similar with the operating subsidy that's from HUD,
[59:24] you can see that year-to-day revenues
[59:28] from I've came at $4.4 million for better year-to-day
[59:31] by $5.1 million.
[59:33] And we know this negative variance has been growing.
[59:36] We don't have all the information currently,
[59:40] but we've taken a look at the trend and to be conservative, we've forecasted that by year
[59:49] and year expecting to see probably a $2 million shortfall for just total revenues on a year-to-day
[59:56] patients. We know the 2.1 million that we have in there.
[1:00:00] I know that's a lot going on with revenues. Let me just pause that quickly to see if there are any questions on those.
[1:00:11] If not, I'll continue with throw operating expenses. Throw operating expenses for public housing on a year-to-date basis for $6.4 million.
[1:00:22] That's below a year-to-date budget, $8.6 million. The positive variance of $2.2 million is really refreshing off the throw compensation expenses.
[1:00:33] for a prep personnel. If we recall, we were talking about we fastifying a lot of the expenses,
[1:00:42] and now that we read fast by them through the appropriate places, or appropriate answer,
[1:00:47] if you will, we see a positive variance of about $2 million in that fine item.
[1:00:54] Offsetting that positive
[1:00:55] The variance is the U30 insurance expense, which we protect that our expenses for utilities
[1:01:04] is running a little bit higher than where we have budgeted and so we will expect to see
[1:01:11] a negative variance in that front end, a negative variance going from the current 100 in 2000.
[1:01:19] Offsetting that negative variance will be matured and protected services, we think by your
[1:01:24] and we'll continue to see a positive variance on that line.
[1:01:32] Any questions for Father Towson?
[1:01:36] None for me.
[1:01:37] Any questions from the listeners?
[1:01:41] OK.
[1:01:43] We'll move to Housing Toys voucher.
[1:01:46] On HCD for the HCD fund on a year-to-date basis,
[1:01:52] we provide a reduced net income of 989,000 total revenues
[1:01:58] on a year-to-date basis for HCD
[1:02:00] We came in at $11.5 million ahead of our year-to-date budget of $32 million.
[1:02:10] First, contributing to that, actually, $10,000 of operations is the set of the agency subsidy
[1:02:19] from our debt.
[1:02:20] This month, we saw almost a million dollars ahead of what we had budgeted.
[1:02:25] And keep in mind, this was more of a crew up that we've seen from previous months.
[1:02:32] If you recall earlier in the year, we had a large negative variance in this fine item.
[1:02:38] And, you know, as we go throughout the year, we would know these variances.
[1:02:44] Only because we know that by year end, a year in projection, like they have in previous years,
[1:02:49] we'll line up with the approved idea of 60.3 months.
[1:02:53] On the other revenues line item, that the reduction is really the
[1:03:00] quote in revenues as we discussed before, we're soft charging
[1:03:04] assisted agencies as people tend to quote in and out of San Francisco, but that
[1:03:10] negative variance will be offset by the positive quote in extensive that is part
[1:03:17] of the administrative estimates of ionized hydrogen.
[1:03:21] Other than that, total operating expenses for HCD was $10.5 million on a utility basis.
[1:03:30] That is lower than what we had budgeted up $11.1 million, again producing positive variance
[1:03:38] of $699,000.
[1:03:41] The HCD was also pretty clean, so unless there's a particular ionized, and anybody wants
[1:03:46] to be dealt for the interview, you can move on to the next one.
[1:03:55] Commissioners?
[1:03:56] Commissioners?
[1:03:57] Okay.
[1:04:03] And then for the Central Office Office Center, CSCC produced a net income of $774,000.
[1:04:13] For revenue of $7.00 on a year-to-date basis was a head budget of $5.1 million.
[1:04:21] by roughly about $1.9 million or $2 million.
[1:04:25] Again, we talked about the high-true up,
[1:04:28] which we saw the positive variance,
[1:04:30] and as a result, you're seeing the reflection
[1:04:33] and the increasing management revenue,
[1:04:36] which is simply a percentage of what we receive from high.
[1:04:39] The other revenue component is the other revenue component
[1:04:47] of $1.6 million on a year-to-date basis.
[1:04:49] is really a fraction of the ground restraints that we got from our
[1:04:56] beliefs, from our not-beach properties.
[1:04:58] please.
[1:04:59] I'll be back.
[1:05:00] It's not an on-year-to-date basis. It's really a reflection of the groundless payments that we got from our, I believe it's from our not-weeked properties. We got groundless payments and we got the surplus cash from the not-weeked properties. It also includes the unrestricted portion of the right payments for the other of the United States.
[1:05:26] We're talking operating expenses for CSTC on a year-to-date basis.
[1:05:29] was $6.2 million, slightly over the head of our year-to-date budget of $5.3 million by about
[1:05:38] 900,000. To the factors in this, one, we're still pending the re-class, the benefit portion
[1:05:46] of total compensation for five people, and we're also pending the re-classification of workers
[1:05:54] calm that is including the insurance line item. I think once those re-classes
[1:06:00] take place and we're currently in the process of doing the re-class. Once those
[1:06:06] re-classes are accomplished, you'll see the negative varying strength from
[1:06:10] from any currently out.
[1:06:16] Any questions for COCC?
[1:06:24] None for me.
[1:06:27] Okay and then the last
[1:06:31] slide. I spoke to you soon. Can you go a little bit deeper into the pending benefits reclass
[1:06:43] from total comp?
[1:06:46] Yeah, I think so when the happening it goes back to public housing where we took a
[1:07:04] it up and reclassing those people out of 100 and out of these ends into the appropriate
[1:07:10] places. What we have to, what we also have to manually do was reclass the benefits for
[1:07:17] those personnel. And so while we got the salary and rates is done, we're still waiting
[1:07:23] to complete the benefit portion of that.
[1:07:28] As we wait to see the benefit component finalized, are we going to see total expenses once again continue to increase based on those reclassifications?
[1:07:41] No, I think you'll see them decrease, right, because we're talking about the benefits portion actually to move out of 100 out of CSCC.
[1:07:51] Right now we're having a lot of expenses and then you'll see that it moved out, including
[1:07:55] our workers' comp, which is why you see new 30 million children's numbers, a negative
[1:08:00] value.
[1:08:03] Negative, very, so good.
[1:08:05] Thank you.
[1:08:11] Next slide, Ben.
[1:08:16] And this is really just a consolidation of all the various ends that are part of the San Francisco
[1:08:20] Housing Authority.
[1:08:22] The variants are many of these, we've already spoken about in the previous slide.
[1:08:26] So I don't know if anybody has questions on this slide.
[1:08:36] If not, I'll turn that over to Mama.
[1:08:40] Great.
[1:08:41] Thank you.
[1:08:42] Thank you, Roy.
[1:08:45] Good afternoon, commissioners.
[1:08:48] I'll make a quick presentation on the shortfall to your tool.
[1:08:54] So we are still waiting on the kind of year funding
[1:08:58] better so we still don't know how much we are the budget 34 this time the year 2022 but we do know
[1:09:05] based on the expert the trend we have currently the monthly trend we are projecting total expense for
[1:09:12] the year 335 335 335 million 9000 and based on the two year tool the projection we see on the
[1:09:25] to your tool, we expect a user this year.
[1:09:29] So not shortfall, we're still gonna have some excess reserve
[1:09:32] that we can use to issue more voucher.
[1:09:35] And so we are working with, currently,
[1:09:38] meaning monthly just to discuss our missing plan,
[1:10:00] And still avoid going back to shortfall in the coming years. So hoping this month we'll get the funding letter. So we'll also get that funding letter. We'll let it will know the exact supports amount we have this year. So as a minor last year, we had a surplus of 25 minutes. So reason that supports were able to issue some voucher. We pulled some name from the waiting list and we issued around 200 voucher last year.
[1:10:29] So this year, we have a detailed plan.
[1:10:34] We've been working on that plan.
[1:10:36] So we're just waiting for the final budget from HUD.
[1:10:40] And then we'll be able to share the team.
[1:10:44] For the monthly expense, this for April, we spent 27.7 million.
[1:10:49] So in line with the funding, we received from HUD.
[1:10:51] So had provided 27.5 million.
[1:10:56] actually. So if you look at the bottom of this table, he shows that excess cash we have on hands because last year, we received more funding than the actual expense that we have on 4.5 million deserve that we have.
[1:11:10] And that's something that had to manage and basically we may see in the coming month, less funding coming monthly just to preserve this is.
[1:11:19] So it's realistic to catch. We cannot use it for any other purpose than the hop payment. So it's a classic track by heart.
[1:11:30] Next slide, please.
[1:11:34] Oh, that's it. Actually, yeah, this is some explanation. Any question on that to you to have none
[1:11:47] for me, none for me.
[1:11:53] Thank you very much.
[1:11:54] Oh, I actually, it's rare that I see something, a word like seams, there's usually something
[1:12:02] more definitive from the finance team. Can you expand on that for me?
[1:12:10] So we see that we are spending less than what we see from HUD. So we know based on the tool,
[1:12:16] we have the two-year tools that basically the tool developed by HUD that we're currently
[1:12:21] use any PSU we can use to really project your expense and project any surplus or shortfall.
[1:12:28] So we know like based on the trend last year, last year we had a surplus and based on the time
[1:12:33] you see on expense and the version that had this using the inflation rate that had this plan to
[1:12:40] apply this year, we're going to have a surplus. And based on our conversation we've heard,
[1:12:45] but they also are projecting itself as this year.
[1:12:49] And they really want to,
[1:12:50] they are currently emphasizing the leasing plan
[1:12:53] because they know we do have the room
[1:12:55] for additional voucher.
[1:12:59] So we just don't know the exact number yet,
[1:13:01] but we know for sure,
[1:13:02] we know everything is pointing towards the sub-lux.
[1:13:09] When will the seams move to firmly be,
[1:13:13] we are putting the housing authority in a position,
[1:13:15] although housing authority is in that position
[1:13:18] to begin building consistent currently reserves.
[1:13:21] Last year received a funding letter around this time.
[1:13:26] It was on April, so we did the next few weeks
[1:13:31] we should get the final letter funding letter.
[1:13:37] Okay, once we have that funding letter,
[1:13:38] we should know exactly, exactly number.
[1:13:42] So is this language seems to be strategic in raising our expectations knowing that most likely it will be delivered and then you can change the line.
[1:13:52] Just just to be cross over to you right now.
[1:13:57] All education that you're going to be in the surface position.
[1:14:01] That's great.
[1:14:02] Thank you.
[1:14:03] Of course, President Torres, you have to use appropriate language for something we have
[1:14:10] not yet realized.
[1:14:14] Thank you.
[1:14:19] Thank you.
[1:14:25] Thank you.
[1:14:25] Thank you.
[1:14:25] Any other questions?
[1:14:26] To the finalist for?
[1:14:30] Nothing else for me.
[1:14:31] Anything else from other commissioners?
[1:14:35] Okay.
[1:14:39] Thank you.
[1:14:40] Now we can move back to the chief executive office of course which will be presented by CEO
[1:14:45] So time to let you and thank you for joining us here to get that slide up and for Joyce.
[1:14:53] Thank you.
[1:14:54] You
[1:15:00] In continued partnership with our developers at both Sunnydale and Petrero, my team and I continuously engage to adequately ensure community needs are met while these sites are in this exciting phase of redevelopment. Next month, the team will bring before our development finance and operations committee and then to this full board, the proposed ground lease for the future Sunnydale Center.
[1:15:31] The new community center, recreation center, and a joining outdoor spaces.
[1:15:36] are envisioned as part of the new Hope SF neighborhood and will reflect the richness of a
[1:15:44] racially and ethnically diverse mixed income community. The authority looks forward to seeing
[1:15:50] a community hub of this level that is targeted to be lead, gold, certified net zero already and
[1:15:56] moreover will provide 31,000 square feet of space for the entire community to enjoy. More to come
[1:16:03] next month on the Sunnydale Community Center.
[1:16:06] Next slide, please.
[1:16:09] For the past 16 months, we have specifically partnered
[1:16:11] with bridge to help address air quality concerns raised
[1:16:15] with construction at the portrayal annex terrace.
[1:16:19] The authority has reoccurring meetings with bridge
[1:16:22] about the infrastructure and relocation plan overall
[1:16:25] at the portrayal, including air monitoring
[1:16:27] during accelerated conversion construction work.
[1:16:30] Bridges working with two environment consultants of which we have met with them that help monitor air quality with three air monitoring stations installed at the base.
[1:16:42] Two site that monitor for naturally occurring at best is best and potential exceedants.
[1:16:49] The environmental consultants establish threshold limits and mitigation measures with the oversight agencies, the San Francisco Department of Public Health.
[1:16:58] that's responsible to protect and promote the health of all San Franciscans and the Bay Area Air
[1:17:04] Quality Management District which aims to create a healthy breeding environment for every Bay Area
[1:17:10] resident while protecting and improving public health, air quality and the global climate. These
[1:17:17] oversight agencies conduct field visits on a reoccurring basis to inspect monitoring devices and mitigation
[1:17:24] measures. Any exceedance are immediately reported to the contractors to help
[1:17:30] determine causation while mitigation measures can be implemented in the field. The
[1:17:35] monitors continue to provide readings after exceedance, have occurred and the
[1:17:39] success of the mitigation measure is gauged by readings, adjust it back to below
[1:17:44] threshold levels. Best practices that are used on our site for mitigation measures
[1:17:50] for exceedants include soil stabilizers, soil wetting, soil
[1:17:55] tarping, truck track out control, and cover truck
[1:17:58] halls. Most commonly, the most suitable mitigation is applying
[1:18:02] water to active to the active construction area when an
[1:18:06] exceedant has occurred. Overall, there have been very limited
[1:18:11] exceedants as compared to the previous phase at patrol and
[1:18:16] there was only one period that lasted a few weeks between the
[1:18:19] end of October 21 and beginning of December 21 in which several
[1:18:24] accidents occurred on a reoccurring basis, which our consultants believed was
[1:18:29] related to bad air quality in the Bay Area. With these measures, bridges in
[1:18:36] compliance and have been in compliance and remains to be in compliance with both
[1:18:40] the San Francisco Department of Public Health as well as the Bay Area air
[1:18:45] quality management district, reporting requirements, and has satisfied the agency's required mitigation
[1:18:52] measures for each exceedance. Air monitoring began in February 2021 for the phase two infrastructure
[1:19:01] work, and reports received from consultants are posted on the Re-Bill Petrero website on a weekly
[1:19:08] basis as well as regularly communicated to residents at the monthly Re-Bill Petrero community meeting.
[1:19:15] The authorities' commitment to serving our residents remains unwavering.
[1:19:22] Our staff continue as well as myself to attend community meetings, personally meet with residents,
[1:19:29] and respond to the needs of residents as they are brought to the authorities' attention.
[1:19:34] With our partners, including Bridge, we will maintain an open line of communication with our residents
[1:20:02] I'm sorry, for an accelerated conversion update, for our face to H-Q-S repairs, they have been completed. And all units passed our external H-Q-S inspection. As planned, this base closed on March 31st. Congratulations to Alicia, who is the lead on this project and her team.
[1:20:29] for ensuring that we are on track
[1:20:31] and that all of our work passed our external HQS inspections.
[1:20:36] The HQS repairs for phase three started in mid-February
[1:20:42] and currently Sunnyvale is at 90% completion
[1:20:46] while portrayal is at 75% completion.
[1:20:49] In addition to HQS repairs,
[1:20:52] household interviews for phase two
[1:20:54] and three are currently in progress
[1:20:56] while tenant notification of upcoming work for phase 4 has started.
[1:21:01] The authority will continue to provide regular accelerated conversion updates as we work through this transition period.
[1:21:08] This concludes my report for this month. Thank you again commissioners.
[1:21:16] Any questions?
[1:21:34] I would like to ask for any public comment regarding the chief executive officer report.
[1:21:41] I would also include the 2022-23 annual plan presentation.
[1:21:46] I have a formal plan update for the financial board, any public comment.
[1:21:58] Next will be the committee report.
[1:22:04] I'm sure Linda would like to speak on that for communicating from last week.
[1:22:11] Absolutely.
[1:22:11] So, Ms. Miller and I met on the 20th, went through the agenda, and we had one item that we sent to consent, which will be heard today regarding the rent,
[1:22:33] the rent that were established for 2022.
[1:22:40] I think one item on the agenda that we spoke about.
[1:22:42] Thank
[1:22:46] you, Commissioner Lendo.
[1:22:47] Is there any public comment regarding the committee report from the committee of April 20th?
[1:23:00] We go to agenda item number 11, which is a regular business consent items.
[1:23:06] We will consent item number one, which is the resolution approving and authorizing updated payment standards for the housing choice voucher and veterans affair.
[1:23:15] It's a heart of housing program of the housing authority of the city and county standards.
[1:23:19] It's just how about the May 1, 2022, and as Mr. Linda said, this is presented at committee last week.
[1:23:38] Is there any comment or commissioners before we go to public comment?
[1:23:50] That's from the public comment on it's been tied to number one.
[1:23:57] Do not see any so we can have a motion to approve.
[1:24:03] Almost into the second.
[1:24:09] Thank you.
[1:24:10] We will follow President Torres.
[1:24:13] A
[1:24:22] President Torres?
[1:24:25] Yes.
[1:24:26] Thank you.
[1:24:29] Yes.
[1:24:31] Mr. Harris.
[1:24:33] Who actually is.
[1:24:35] Excuse now, so what a commissioner can.
[1:24:38] Yes.
[1:24:40] And commissioner ice.
[1:24:42] Yes.
[1:24:44] Thank you.
[1:25:00] I don't mean that today, so we'll go to agenda item number 12, which is a regular action items, which today we do not have any. With that being said, is there any public comment regarding if I go action votes?
[1:25:16] Sounds great. I will go to item number 13, I'll say to Daniel, which is a commissioners comment report.
[1:25:25] Commissioners, anything else that we want to discuss or anything else that came up at today's meeting that we want additional clarification on for the future?
[1:25:33] anything forward thinking in terms of both the high
[1:25:42] performer plan,
[1:25:45] or otherwise. Okay,
[1:25:49] any other announcements from commissioners at all relating to your lives, anything like that?
[1:25:56] Has any pertinence to the authority? No?
[1:25:59] Okay, well, King, I want to thank you for sending me that news paper article.
[1:26:05] Thank you, welcome.
[1:26:15] Anything else?
