HCHA meeting <br />Kierkiewicz: First time since 2015? <br />April 6, 2021 <br />Moore: First time since 2015 to the general public. So, we opened it from March <br />15 through the end of April. It used to be shorter periods, but we opened it for <br />longer periods to give everyone a chance, the disabled, the elderly, more time <br />to get on, apply to be in the lottery. <br />Kierkiewicz: And then, is there any type of scoring criteria, I mean you <br />mentioned there being six thousand families initially, now there are a lot less folks <br />so just wondering if there's any initial screening criteria before they go to lottery. <br />Moore: No. <br />Kierkiewicz: No. And then, in your allocation of these vouchers, are you <br />identifying a certain percentage going to, say, individuals with disabilities or <br />veterans? <br />Moore: No. <br />Kierkiewicz: Ok, just depends on the available funding. <br />Moore: Yes. <br />Kierkiewicz: Alright. And how many years have we had two thousand sixty-five <br />vouchers available? <br />Moore: I want to say the last three years maybe. <br />Kierkiewicz: And prior to that? <br />Moore: It increased. It increases every so often, so I think in 2015 or 16 we might <br />have had like nineteen hundred and then it slowly increased, and it will keep <br />increasing every time we apply for targeted funds so like Foster Youth and <br />Mainstream, they're all targeted, separate pots of funds. <br />Kierkiewicz: I see, so, there are additional funding streams that we can go after <br />at the federal level. <br />Moore: And we do. <br />Kierkiewicz: Excellent. And I would image that with the census data that's <br />going to be coming out, it's very possible that we could get additional <br />allocation from HUD for these programs. <br />Page 5 of 15 <br />
