2 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Doug Taylor, Chair Wendy Connor, Vice Chair Roger Chapin Bill Dymond Jessica Burns Terry Delahunty Commissioner Ted Edwards Thomas C. Chatmon Jr., Executive Director of the Downtown Development Board/Community Redevelopment Agency DATE: March 29, 2016 SUBJECT: Agenda items to be considered at the Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Meeting for Wednesday, March 29, Approval of Minutes: Staff will be available to answer any questions prior to Board consideration of approving the minutes of the February 24, 2016 Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board Meeting. Public Comment: Parramore Update: Walter Hawkins, Director of Urban Development Executive Director s Report: Thomas C. Chatmon Jr., Executive Director New Business: a. Amendment One to Downtown Relocation Assistance Program Agreement Thomas C. Chatmon Jr., Executive Director The CRA recently approved the Downtown Relocation Assistance Program Policies and Procedures and the Downtown Relocation Assistance Program Implementation Agreement with Homeless Services Network of Central Florida, Inc. The Program and implementing Agreement both contemplate a program to assist chronically homeless within the Downtown Area in obtaining permanent supportive housing. In beginning to implement the Program and in identifying persons to place in permanent supportive housing, it has become evident that the current definition in the Policies and Procedures limits our ability to house the most vulnerable individuals who have been identified within the CRA. The amendment to the Policies and Procedures and Agreement refines the definition of chronically homeless to better meet the CRA s goals with the Program and the needs of our community.

3 Staff requests that the CRA Advisory Board recommend to the CRA that it approve Amendment One to Downtown Relocation Assistance Program Implementation Agreement, subject to review and approval of the City Attorney s Office, and the changes in Section II of the Policies and Procedures related to eligibility. Date of Next Meeting: The next CRA Advisory Board meeting will be held April 27, 2016 at 3:00 pm in the Sustainability Conference Room. Adjournment
