What this means
The committee reviewed homelessness and housing items and approved several measures that affect how the City manages housing programs and tenant-termination reporting. One item approved requires landlords to file written notices of tenancy termination with the City, which means the City will receive formal records when tenancies end. The committee also moved forward funding and oversight items: it closed out four Project Homekey projects that used federal CARES Act block grant money and accepted a grant to support a low-income homeownership assistance program. An update on Time Limited Subsidies was presented but no decision was made.
