HCHA April 9, 2019 <br /> Gyotoku: Yes. We've hit our allocation, right now we're lease uprate is about <br /> 97% of our allocation which is really excellent in terms of HUD. We're trying to get <br /> more vouchers, we haven't had some...we...we applied for things like <br /> mainstream, which we got nine. We also applied for what we call VASH, <br /> Veterans Assisted Housing Vouchers which is about 25 vouchers...26 vouchers. <br /> So we continue to apply for these different types of housing vouchers...rental <br /> assisted programs and its basically coming from the same pot of monies but its <br /> very slow I would say from the decis...President administration, as far as housing <br /> assistance programs, even our HOME and CDBG funding is right now is very <br /> questionable what will get and hopefully we'll get at least what we got last year <br /> and that's been pretty much as far as the...the goal. <br /> Richards: Well I...I think the fact that your...have that program, the high <br /> percentage of utilization is testament to what you guys are doing so...GOOD, <br /> thank you so much for you guys putting forth and getting that done cause' I <br /> mean that does nothing but help us. Shifting gears a little bit Neil can you <br /> talk...you talked about the workforce...l'm try'na find my notes where I was <br /> keeping track of this stuff...the 1 million dollars, could you comment on that? <br /> Gyotoku: Its roughly two programs, about $600,000 for the adult and dislocated <br /> adults and another$350,000 for the youth program where we provide things like <br /> training for CDL or go to school or any type of certified nurses training classes so <br /> that these people can go out there and get jobs and we try to provide services <br /> to hook them up to the different companies that come into to us or that we <br /> know of looking for workers. <br /> Richards: Is any of that funding available for I...not really daycare but like, end <br /> of school day...does any of that funding go towards that, supporting any of <br /> those programs? <br /> Gyotoku: No its basically for the youth is for persons under...from the ages of 16 <br /> to 25 I believe. Mostly for, if they've had difficulty getting their GED, troubled <br /> youth, we'd try to work with them and try to provide them with the education <br /> and training so that they can go out and compete for the jobs available. <br /> Richards: Okay. And then coming back to what you're talking about the existing <br /> housing and running through it just rough calculations you mentioned our...our <br /> housing primarily projects on the eastside and not on the westside and we're to <br /> build more and you know district 9, my district, the Kamakoa Nui the current <br /> inventory of housing there and the potential buildout on that, what are those <br /> numbers? I realize catching you off the top of your head. <br /> Gyotoku: On the multi-family we have a ten acre parcel were looking at like 40- <br /> 60 units of multi-family rentals for employees. On the housing sales part we have <br /> Page 9 of 22 <br />
