7.LexHAB Proposal – Possibility of a Housing Trust – Ms. Weiss explained that LexHAB Chair Bill Hayes had called her to suggest the idea of LexHAB receiving funding from the CPC without detailing specific projects. The Committee discussed this issue, and it was agreed that what Mr. Hayes was suggesting was a Housing Trust, where CPA funds would be regularly dedicated to the Trust, but not for a specific purpose. Members understood the interest in such a Trust, but noted that there are other competing housing groups, such as the Housing Authority, and questioned whether it would be fair to establish a housing trust for only one group. Mr. Hayes will be invited to discuss the idea with the CPC at a later meeting, and Ms. Rice will send her research on Lincoln’s Housing Trust to the Committee. 8.Needs Assessment Report –Ms. Manz noted that the Committee is required to update the Needs Assessment Report. She requested that each member of the Committee review it before the next meeting. It was decided that Ms. Manz would update the report first, primarily the introductory sections, after which she would request Committee members to update their sections and submit their proposed changes to Ms. Rice, who will coordinate the second editing phase. 9.Next Meeting - The next meeting was set for Wednesday, September 29, 2010 at 2:30 PM in Room 207 of the Town Office Building.
