Call to Order Chair Graham called the meeting to order at 8:30 am. II. Changes/Additions to Agenda Chair Graham acknowledged the guests and added the following items to the Agenda; V. INHS Update – Location of Scattered Site Phase 2 New Construction and VI. Tompkins County Housing Grant - Discussion III. Public Comment None IV. Review of Minutes – Minutes for March 9, 2018 and March 16, 2018. Mendizabal noted that the bolding in the Draft Minutes would be removed for the final version. Halpert moved. Farrell seconded. Carried 4-0. V. INHS Update – Location of Scattered Site Phase 2 New Construction Lynn Truame, Senior Real Estate Developer at INHS, attended to update the Committee on INHS’s “Scattered Site Phase 2 – New Construction” proposal for 2018 Action Plan funding. The site in Census Tract 1 that the proposal refers to is the Salvation Army building at 150 N. Albany Street, Ithaca, NY. This site was previously unnamed due to the Salvation Army’s internal governance and approval process timeline. Truame stated that INHS would act as the developer and property manager of the site, while the Salvation Army would be the service provider. Farrell asked what “service provider” means in this case. Truame responded that the initiative is coming from the Salvation Army’s Syracuse office. That Salvation Army site has more robust  services (funding sources available for homeless housing projects), and that is the model the Salvation Army would be implementing in its Ithaca location, along with continuing the services they currently provide here. The current building would be demolished to make was for new construction. The first floor of the new building would house the current services and offices, an include an expanded food pantry and other enhancements. Approximately 40 units of housing would be built atop the offices. The actual number of housing units will fluctuate until the design is finalized. Approximately 20% of the units would be designated for homeless housing. The site of the Salvation Army includes two different zones, so the building is anticipated to rise to 5 stories on the Albany Street side and 4 stories on the Seneca Street side. Estimated time to build is 12-14 months. Graham asked if a waiver could be granted since the site involves two zones, and discussion ensued. More questions were asked about the type of housing to be provided, for example, was it intended for Single Room Occupancy. No, Truame said, the units are designed as apartments, primarily 1-bedrooms, but some 2- and 3-bedrooms, as well. The Advocacy Center is one of the agencies that INHS with whom INHS is conferring. Farrell asked if it would be permanent housing. Truame responded, yes, permanent housing affordable to people at 50-60% AMI, as well as some units available at 30% AMI. As far as services to be provided, the application the Salvation Army submitted for 2018 Action Plan funding is separate from INHS’s application. Truame indicated that Linda Wright, from the Syracuse Salvation Army office, is that organization’s point person on this project. INHS would do income certification and select tenants, be responsible for maintenance and property management. VI. Tompkins County Housing Grant - Discussion Graham introduced Tierra Labrada, Tompkins County Continuum of Care (CoC) Coordinator, to the Committee. The CoC, a HUD initiative, is a local planning body comprised of public, private and non-profit agencies working collaboratively to end homelessness. Labrada explained that the Tompkins County Legislature granted CoC $50,000 for 3 years designated to fund new and innovative projects to either provide housing for people who are homeless or prevent homelessness. The CoC administers the Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process. Last year, funding was awarded to Catholic Charities’ Bridging the Gap program, the Advocacy Center for emergency services, and plumbing at OAR’s Endeavor House. When designing the NOFA, the CoC decided not to allow the same program to apply two years in a row, though the same applicant may apply for a different program. Discussion ensued over the CoC’s decision not to fund the same project in two successive years. Farrell commented that the IURA grapples with how best to support program sthat 2  apply for ongoing funding. Labrada noted that the idea was to fund different projects in order to gather data to see what works. “The County really wants to designate funding for homelessness. We do not have a lot of capacity in the community to develop new projects,” she said. Whether as a result of the NOFA’s prohibition on funding the same project in successive years, or for other reasons, this year’s NOFA elicited a small number of applications. The NOFA was reopened. Mendizabal noted that she reached out to organizations that might be a good match for the NOFA (whether or not they had applied for IURA funding) to encourage them to apply. IURA’s RFP for 2018 Action Plan funding was concurrent with the CoC’s NOFA. The Committee reviewed applications received for projects that proposed housing or prevention of homelessness, to see if any of the NOFA’s aims might be met be met by one or more of them. VII. 2018 HUD Entitlement Grant Program 1. Action Item: Resolution to Designate Finger Lakes ReUse as a CBDO Mendizabal reported that FL ReUse pointed out the format of the columns on the Board Certification form was unclear and that IURA Contracts Monitor Charles Pyott updated the form. FL ReUse updated its submission using the corrected forms. Mendizabal reviewed the application and prepared a memo recommending FL ReUse for designation as a Community- Based Development Organization. Moved by Manos. Seconded by Halpert. 2018 IURA Designation of Finger Lakes ReUse, Inc. as a Community-Based Development Organization WHEREAS, the Board of Finger Lakes ReUse, Inc., (Finger Lakes ReUse) seeks designation by the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency (IURA) as a Community-Based Development Organization (CBDO), and Carried 4-0. 2. Action Item: Resolution to Designate GIAC as a CBDO Mendizabal reported that GIAC amended its by-laws last year to minimum of 9 board members from the previous 11. This is helpful in meeting threshold. Mendizabal reviewed the application and prepared a memo recommending GIAC for re-designation as a Community-Based Development Organization. Moved by Manos. Seconded by Farrell. 2018 IURA Designation of Greater Ithaca Activities Center, Inc. as a Community-Based Development Organization 3 WHEREAS, the Board of Greater Ithaca Activities Center, Inc., (GIAC) seeks designation by the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency (IURA) as a Community-Based Development Organization (CBDO), and WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca has designated the IURA to administer the City’s HUD Entitlement Program that oversees Community Development Block Grant funds awarded to the City, and WHEREAS, an eligible category of CDBG activities is a “Special Activity by CBDO”, that offers certain advantages, such as exemption from the 15% expenditure cap otherwise applicable to public service activities, authorization to carry out new housing construction (normally prohibited with CDBG funds), and discretion to allow income generated by a CDBG-funded activity to not be considered CDBG program income, and WHEREAS, the following four tests established at CFR Title 24 §570.204 must be met to qualify under a category of “Special Activity by CBDOs”: 1. The entity qualifies as a CBDO, including the 51% board membership test; 2. The CBDO will undertake an eligible project; 3. That the CBDO will carry out the funded activity directly or with an entity other than the grantee; 4. That the CBDO will not carry out a prohibited activity, and WHEREAS, a CBDO must maintain at least 51% of its governing body’s membership to be made up of any combination of the following: • Low- and moderate income residents of its area of operation • Owners or senior officers of private establishments and other institutions located in its area of operation • Representatives of low- and moderate-income neighborhood organizations located in its area of operation, and WHEREAS, a CBDO must have as its primary purpose the improvement of the physical, economic, or social environment of its geographic area of operation, with a particular emphasis on the needs of low- and moderate-income persons, and WHEREAS, the project undertaken by the CBDO must qualify as one or more of the following project types: • neighborhood revitalization; • community economic development; • energy conservation project; and 4 WHEREAS, at its April 13, 2018, meeting, the Neighborhood Investment Committee evaluated GIAC, Inc. CBDO application and recommended the following; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that the IURA determines that GIAC, Inc. meets the requirements for eligibility as a CBDO, and that the Hospitality Employment Training Project (HETP) qualifies as an eligible CBDO activity, and be it further RESOLVED, that the IURA hereby designates GIAC, Inc. as a Community-Based Development Organization (CBDO) and its Hospitality Employment Training Project (HETP) eligible for CDBG funding under the category of “Special Activities by CBDOs”. Carried 4-0. 3. Action Item: Resolution to Designate INHS as a CHDO The Board Certification chart was discussed. According to the information available to IURA, Census Tract 7, where one of the Board Members lives, is 50.99% LMI, not the required 51%. However, using another HUD designation, Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs) the neighborhood qualifies. This may be a moot point, as the INHS Board is still 58% residents of LMI neighborhoods without the Board Member in question. Mendizabal recommends INHS for re- designation as a Community Housing Development Organization. Moved by Farrell. Seconded by Halpert. 2018 Designation of INHS as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) WHEREAS, the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency (IURA) has been designated by the City of Ithaca as the Lead Agency to develop, administer and implement the HUD Entitlement grant program, including funds received through the Home Investment Partnerships (HOME) program, and WHEREAS, grant recipients under the HOME program are termed Participating Jurisdictions (PJs), and WHEREAS, PJs must reserve not less than 15% of their HOME allocation for investment in housing to be developed, sponsored, or owned by Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), and WHEREAS, each PJ must identify annually CHDOs that are capable of carrying out projects to address priority housing needs identified in the Consolidated Plan, and WHEREAS, a CHDO is a specific type of community-based nonprofit organization as defined in 24 CFR §92.2, and WHEREAS, a PJ may use HOME funds to provide special assistance to CHDOs, including: • Project pre-development loans; 5  • Operating assistance; • Use of HOME project proceeds; • Capacity-building assistance; and WHEREAS, on March 12, 2018, Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. (INHS) submitted materials documenting their qualification and requested renewal of their designation as a CHDO by the IURA, and WHEREAS, at its April 13, 2018 meeting, the Neighborhood Investment Committee of the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency compared submitted materials against CHDO criteria and recommends the following; now, therefore be it RESOLVED, that the IURA, acting in its capacity as the Lead Agency for the Participating Jurisdiction of the City of Ithaca, hereby renews its designation of Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. as a CHDO for the 2018 Action Plan.
