HCHA meeting September 7, 2021 <br />as I said just continue to message folks on that website: hawaiicountyerap.org, <br />there's a documents checklist and if you folks, if you're doing anything, <br />messaging out to your constituents, I would really encourage them, first get your <br />documents together and that list is provided on the website there under <br />Documents, the Documents Checklist prior to applying and that will help them <br />streamline a bit. <br />Kimball: Thank you, that's very, very helpful cause we do get a lot of questions <br />about what documentation is needed. The other question I had was, at this <br />point, roughly 25% has been disbursed, is that amount calculated across that <br />whole 15 month timeframe, I'm wondering about the longevity of this program <br />which the remaining funds available, how many more families do you think we <br />can add on to this program? <br />Gilbreth: Yeah, that's another good question. So actually these funds that <br />we're referencing here today are those that have been spent since end of April <br />so this was under a separate pot of funds from the rent and mortgage <br />assistance program where we disbursed I think around 11 million, and so with <br />this, our projection show that by end of September we should have committed <br />close to six million dollars, that would help about 900 households roughly 2500 <br />residents. There's a second traunch of funds, I think which Sharon pointed too, <br />and so those funds will actually carry us through to June 30, 2022 and our <br />assumption is is that by the end, by that point, our projection show about 1800 <br />households will be served under this program, roughly we could be looking at <br />close to 5000 residents stably housed as a result, those are just based on <br />projections and what we are finding is there's folks that are applying now that <br />didn't get anything as far back as March 2020 and so we're seeing larger <br />amounts of disbursements come out and possibly fewer families but that's where <br />our numbers point too right now. <br />Kimball: Great, thank you so much so that, thorough response and everything <br />you and your partners are doing to help house, keep our families housed, I yield <br />Chair. <br />Kierkiewicz: Thank you. Jeff, I had a question, I'm on your website right now <br />and maybe it's just me but I'm not able to access the data maps regarding <br />applications received and where funds have been awarded. I just wanted to <br />flag that it said I needed to either request access or it didn't exist but I'm really <br />curious about that data, you know a number, there's so many (inaudible) <br />around the island particularly in Puna and Ka`u and so I was curious around how <br />many applications you have been seeing from those regions and how many <br />pay outs are actually happening, you talk about wanting to make sure the most <br />vulnerable are getting this support, so I'm just curious where are you getting the <br />Page 24 of 34 <br />
