that the impediments listed were not in order of importance. Audrey also informed the AHAB that the <br />initial draft of the Housing Strategic Plan is purposed for the end of January. <br />Audrey informed the AHAB that the department would receive HOME Program funding similar <br />to the amount that was received last year, instead of the expected cut that was previously mentioned. <br />Audrey informed the AHAB that outside agency funding applications are due on the 25th of January and <br />that the County Manager was contemplating how the recommendation process would be handled this <br />year and that the AHAB would know as soon as possible if they would be reviewing and scoring the <br />applications this year. The AHAB members requested that a list of county owned land and information <br />about the HCV Homeownership Program. Audrey explained that the list of county owned land would <br />be included in the Housing Strategic Plan and that a copy of the HCV Homeownership Program packet <br />would be provided via email. <br />Other Business <br />Audrey suggested that the AHAB consider creating subcommittees. Audrey explained that each <br />subcommittee would be responsible for a specific facet of affordable housing and report back to the <br />AHAB. She further explained that this would allow members to attend multiple events pertaining to <br />affordable housing. An example topic that a submit committee would be responsible for bringing to the <br />AHAB, would be if a non - profit is selling a property that was currently on the HCV program. What <br />steps could be taken to ensure that it remains on the HCV program and or that a low income family is <br />given priority. Audrey informed the AHAB that she would ask the new Homelessness Program <br />Coordinator to come to an AHAB meeting as a guest speaker and share what the Partnership does. <br />Audrey tasked the AHAB with deciding which places they would like to be included on a bus tour. Also <br />the AHAB agreed that they would attend the BOOC work session on February 9th 2016, in lieu of their <br />regular meeting because the dates and times overlap. <br />There being no further business Arthur motioned to adjourn and Brika seconded the motion and <br />the meeting was adjourned at 7:42.pm. <br />Respectfully Submitted: <br />Crystal B. Coble, Administrative Assistant <br />Audrey Spencer - Horsley, Director <br />Housing, Human Rights and Community Development Department <br />
