In regards to the communication from Councilwoman George concerning the demolition and <br /> rebuild of homes, there were no updates on this item at that time and Councilwoman George <br /> pledged to make herself available for an upcoming committee meeting where we can take a look <br /> at that issue and we look forward to that conversation. <br /> The bulk of the time spent that evening was on a communication from Councilmember Litten <br /> regarding affordable housing. <br /> 1 noted that in light of Councilman Litten's communication, the Housing Committee received a <br /> report from the administration back in March 2019 in regards to the City's affordable housing <br /> strategy at that time. There were 7 action steps identified in that presentation. The update for that <br /> strategy has been made available for the community as well as to all members of Council. The <br /> action steps are: <br /> • Launch rental restoration program preserving affordability <br /> • Gap financing for rental development projects <br /> • Non-Profit partnerships <br /> • Home ownership opportunities for low and mod income households <br /> • New affordable home construction <br /> • Connecting property owners to resources and incentives <br /> • Outreach &Advocacy to HUD by Administration and City Council <br /> We did deliberate a bit on each of these specific components and appreciated the updates. We <br /> identified next steps for the administration and appreciated the back and forth conversation <br /> between the administration and members of the committee. We concluded our work that evening <br /> at 7:00 p.m. and adjourned. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Anderson, seconded By President O'Leary to to receive and file <br /> the report. <br /> All members voting yea.
