boxes are available at multiple locations across town, and the survey was also sent out
with the Columbia Housing Authority’s most recent newsletter. There is also a Spanish
version of the survey available.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
FY 2022 Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report (CAPER): Deaver
presented information from the CAPER and spoke to the status of subrecipients’ funding
expenditures. Unexpended funds from past funding years will be reallocated in the
upcoming funding round; the application process for the reallocated funds will run
simultaneously with the process for FY24 funds. The commission discussed goals met
and exceeded in the CAPER. Shaw requested information about what codes were issued
by code enforcement using HUD funds during this CAPER reporting period. Jefferson
requested information about what HUD classifies as Extremely Low Income.
FY 2023 Annual Action Plan: Deaver shared that HUD has released the funding amounts
for FY 2023. At the next meeting, HCDC will review the Annual Action Plan that allocates
FY 2023 funds to subrecipients.
VIII. GENERAL COMMENTS BY PUBLIC, MEMBERS AND STAFF
Randy Cole of the Columbia Housing Authority (CHA) talked about their Kinney Point
project. The commission inquired about various CHA policies.
Deaver shared that Michelle Lambert has resigned from HCDC due to moving out of the
City.
Teddy introduced Luca Mollel, who is doing a fellowship with the City Manager’s Office
and will be researching information about housing programs.
Jefferson inquired as to why Rainbow House withdrew from their funding agreement.
Amelunke shared that they did not want to sign a Deed of Trust and Promissory Note as
required by HUD. Those documents are required so that if the property is sold to a
for-profit organization, it ensures the HUD funding is recaptured. He also noted that this
can create issues with organizations who rent their space applying for HUD funds, since
the property owner must sign those documents.
Deaver shared that the March 8th Pre-Application workshop had approximately 18
attendees, and that all of the information from that workshop is available on the City’s
website. Rose requested the sign-in sheet for the workshop be sent to HCDC. Deaver
shared that staff can send that but to note that not everyone interested in applying may
have attended the workshop.
