American population, its the majority of our people stay in Public Housing and thats a known fact. Were talking about the history in which we have gone through. Now i see the mayor has reached over to a supervisor to ask for sb 1404. Look that up.

Package is really impressive so i suggest you might go take a tour of that project because it might give you some ideas on how the private sector can work with the Public Sector and put such a project together. Thank you. Are there any other members of the public whod like to provide Public Comment at this time . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I want to thank both miss hayward and miss foster for coming here today and providing the update. This hearing was held primarily as i said because the civil grand jury made a recommendation. We, at this time, president tang, id like to table this hearing. However, this does not preclude us from having future hearings about housing and specific relevant things that are important to moving this plan of 30,000 new and rehabbed units forward for our city, so thank you again, and is there a motion to table this hearing . I also through the chair just wanted to acknowledge the work from mo hcd staff. I know our office has been working very clo
Amazing partnership. The property is well maintained and i think something similar can be done for west side courts. Were looking at rehab, which will force us to wait another 15 years when the property really needs to be torn down and rehabbed now. Its one of the oldest, along with holly court, Public Housing developments in our city and those are two that should be completely redone. I have a list of the challenges. I know this is a new responsibility of the Mayors Office of housing and you all have stepped up to the plate including looking at ways to increase your capacity in looking at the portfolio to move this schedule forward, but i want to think about creative ways, Public Private partnerships and things we can do in order to develop new Revenue Streams that could successfully support not only the rehabbing or the rebuild of these developments, but the long term stability of maintaining these developments into the future. So thank you. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. Thank you bot
Hud for example, hud requires that our coops maintain at a certain level and when those maintenance needs are not met then hud find them in default, we run into some difficulties and the city gets involved to try to resolve those particular issues, but eventually it costs the city money. I know thats part of the mayors portfolio, but as well build null it is important that we make sure that there is some clear maintenance component thats a part of maintaining these properties so we build them and because we know were going to just like a house or places where we are building other properties theyre maintained. Theres usually an hoa and money invested in maintenance so were not experiencing some of the situations that we are experiencing now with some of our dilapidated units and some of our Public Housing developments. I think its important as we build new and as we look at ways to be creative that we think about long term maintenance because that will save us more money in the long ru
