Warren Jones, Travaux’s Vice President of Construction, explained that Westlawn
Renaissance IV will be two 30 one-bedroom unit modular buildings across 64th Street
from the Silver Spring Neighborhood Center. It is expected that the closing on this 9%
tax credit deal with PNC will happen in October. The work will start with the foundation
next spring and it is scheduled to be occupied no later than December 31, 2022.
President Pérez and Fernando Aniban, HACM’s Chief Financial Officer, answered
Directors questions about the building’s targeted residents of youth aging out of foster
care. Directors suggested organizations to speak to which already provide supportive
services in the space.
Directors also had questions about the materials provided. A typo was noted on the
Construction Cost Estimate with the same building number appearing in both
buildings’ columns, which will be corrected.

5. T164 Report from the President
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
President Pérez noted the old adage that adversity doesn’t develop character, it
reveals it, and said that it was evident in Travaux’s progress forward in these times. He
is pleased with the work he is seeing in the offices and out in the field and that the
worksites have been kept in good shape.
President Pérez asked Warren Jones, Travaux’s Vice President of Construction, to
provide an update on current projects. Mr. Jones noted that Travaux received the first
permits for Westlawn Renaissance VI’s 138 units of townhomes and that the first
foundation was poured today.
President Pérez had Fernando Aniban, HACM’s Chief Financial Officer, speak about
recently engaging Baker Tilly for a review of Travaux’s financial processes, as Travaux
continues its development. The Director’s comments are also being incorporated. In
addition, HACM is currently working with the Bronner Group to develop a Business
Continuity & Comprehensive Disaster Plan that will touch on Travaux’s operations. Mr.
Aniban continued that HACM recently closed two tax credit deals: in March, Westlawn
Renaissance VI closed and Becher Court closed on June 30th. Westlawn
Renaissance IV is expected to close in October. President Pérez suggested sharing
the proposal the Bronner Group provided regarding the Business Continuity Plan to the
Directors.
President Pérez thanked the Directors for taking their time during the pandemic for the
Board Meetings, and for the depth and breadth of experience that they bring.
Director Wagner suggested that a list of the projects that are closed, underway,
upcoming, or under consideration be provided to the Board.
Adjournment
There being no further business, Director Bohl made a motion to adjourn the meeting
at 4:21 p.m. Commissioner Manzanet seconded the motion. There being no
