Council Member Pierina Ana Sanchez asks about the funding sources for emergency housing services, and AnnMarie Santiago provides information on the various funding streams.

  • Funding sources include federal funding through CDBG (Community Development Block Grant), city tax levy, and possibly city capital for repairs in one facility owned by HPD.
  • Santiago mentions that they have multiple funding sources but doesn't provide specific breakdowns.
  • The council member asks for clarification on the amount of federal funding and the number of facilities, particularly SROs.
  • HPD operates three family living centers and works with 14 privately-owned SRO properties.

What are the funding sources for emergency housing services?
AnnMarie Santiago

I believe we have a number of funding sources, We do receive some federal funding through CDBG, we receive some city tax levy as well for that and for that I think the one facility that we do own, we do receive some capital for repairs there.
