HCHA meeting September 7, 2021 <br />Kunz: It's a HUD calculation and unfortunately I don't have any control of it but <br />the one thing I can tell you is that the only performance measure is that we <br />spend this money and so I just heard an update from my staff that we've now <br />exhausted the wait list which means we can go out again but we need to keep <br />the money spent so that monies don't get taken away from us but it's based on <br />a calculation and I don't what it is off the top of my head but it is HUD driven. <br />Kanealii-Kleinfelder: Okay, does anyone on your staff know what that is without <br />getting too, one of those basic perimeters that guide. <br />Moore: I don't have an answer for what determines our baseline amount but I <br />will say that we also have the opportunity to apply for other specialty vouchers, <br />for veterans, for non -elderly disabled, for foster youth, so HUD has started issuing <br />or making available these special purpose vouchers and so it's, we apply for <br />those whenever we can and it's renewed annually also so for instance we <br />started with 25 VA we're now up to 60 and we applied again this year so we're <br />waiting for the determination on the amount of vouchers and allocation for <br />funding that we'll get from that. <br />Kanealii-Kleinfelder: Is it population based, is it just County specific. <br />Kunz: I would expect that might be but we could ask. <br />Moore: Yeah, I'll ask. I don't know if it's based on the census, I can't remember <br />off the top of my head. <br />Kanealii-Kleinfelder: Would be good to know. I think I've asked this before but I <br />can't remember, the answer is not there so I'll ask it again but I think if we're real <br />clear on that maybe the Council can help push that data out and get that out <br />when it's time to ask for more funding or whatever that may be. Thank you, I <br />yield, Chair. <br />Kunz: Okay, will do. <br />Kierkiewicz: Thank you. Administrator, just a couple more questions for you and <br />Des. I'm just wondering if I can get a little more details around the incentive <br />programs for landlords, what sort of tactics are you employing to build up that <br />base, what's worked so far and what else are you looking to get creative with <br />experiment with. <br />Kunz: Des, I'm going to let you take that. <br />Moore: We have to beef up, I'll be honest, we have to beef up our marketing <br />right now, we do want to, there's talk about doing some type of social media <br />Page 13 of 34 <br />
