morning.

Kate Conley, Architects FORA 0:00
Don, I think you're set to kick us off.

Carol Corr 0:00
Hello.

[email protected] 0:06
OK.

Well, good morning, everyone.

I'm had been in traffic and I'm not stable but.

It's as exciting to be able to to, you know, have an opportunity to work in the Nieestrim community.

You know, I've been affiliated with with.

South Richmond for quite a while even worked with I was the executive director of Neighborhood Housing Services.

That used to be in that area and been there long enough to.

Remember the first start of the nerve program in that area where we went through a number of renditions and working with the community to come up with different ideas on what we needed to do.

And this group that we're working with now, we've worked with Eden House on a number of different projects that we collaborated on.

In throughout the Richmond and North Richmond communities and so.

We just want to reemphasize that you know our organizations CCC locally is, you know, really.

A.

A community driven organization.

And so we.

We really interact on a larger scale.

It's not just projects to us, it's community to us.

And so we focus not only just on our specific projects, but on the whole Community's goals and plans of what it wants, what it needs to do to improve the Community as a whole.

And and that's why we call CCC is called Comprehensive Community Development Corporation.

So we have several different types of programs that we do, including.

Home ownership. We have some programs that are statewide, which is.

We received a $200 million grant from the state to operate a statewide program that works with underserved communities to have access to clean car vehicles.

Not to mention the work that we've been doing in North Richmond, going beyond just housing, but having commercial and health care associated with our developments.

So anyway, thank you.

And then I'm gonna.

Turn her back over to the next presenter for us.

Dixie Baus 2:42
Joanna and Carol.

Would like to introduce yourself.

Joanna Griffith 2:49
Sure, Joanna Griffith, assistant director of real estate development.

Been with Chdc for over 30 years.

I'm a long time Richmond resident.

Actually I've been.

In South Richmond for over 50 years, so I've seen the growth not just in South Richmond or North Richmond, but within the city as a whole. You know, growing up and going to school.

And Richmond.

So I will turn it over to Carol.

Carol Corr 3:24
Good morning.

I'm Gerald Corma, project manager for chtc. I've been with chcc this time around for

almost a year and my prior life architect worked for Kaiser Permanente as a healthcare architect and 30 years ago, just as Joanna was coming to Chdc, I was leaving. So this is my second.

Time around I I love this organization.

And work that we do.

And with that, I will turn it to Dixie Eden.

Dixie Baus 3:58
Hi, good morning, everyone.

I'm Dixie Luribaus, director of real estate development for Eaton Housing.

Eaton Housing is a 57 year old nonprofit affordable housing developer, owner, property manager and registered resident service provider in Hayward.

And we're also a very long time partner of CHDC and a wonderful organization and many collaborations we've done over the years.

So we're very, very happy.

To be here.

Thank you for the opportunity to present again.

To you, and I'd like to turn it over to fora who will introduce themselves and then dive right into the presentation.

Kate Conley, Architects FORA 4:34
Yeah. Sounds like it's in buildings.

Thanks Dixie.

I am Kate Conley.

I am a principal at architects for a we are a 100% women owned firm specializing in the design of multifamily affordable housing. We have over 2700 homes in our portfolio that we've built in the Bay Area and beyond, and our practice has an over. 40 year Legacy in the Bay Area.

So we maintain really deep commitments to equity, sustainability and advocacy in this community.

To touch on some of the details of this housing development that we're proposing for you today, these homes are for families.

It's our intent to begin the phases with replacing 100 existing public housing homes and to do this, we're providing 111 more new dwellings in a mix of 1-2 and three bedroom units, plus an on site managers unit that is with 80 parking SP.

In an efficient garage for about an 89% parking.

Ratio, we're installing EV charging stations and spacious secured bike facilities and our landscape design features low water, drought tolerant planting and the new building will also have a solar ready infrastructure. The on site amenities that will support these future residents include a resident resource networking center, an out.

Play area for younger children and a technology suite as well as exercise facilities.

A community meeting space and of course, outdoor gardening to promote healthy.

Living something that was really important to the Chdc team as well. So we love to support healthy living where we can.

In terms of contacts, we always like to start by acknowledging the historic, contemporary and Community context of the land on which this project site is located.

This land was and continues to be of significance to the Aloni tribe and of course, Richmond was a hub of shipyard and automotive manufacturing industry activity as well.

These industries attracted workers.

Is making the city a destination during the Great Migration and into World War 2.

The contemporary context also include the natural beauty and abundance of Richmond's Redwood trees, waterways, and of course, the San Francisco Bay, as well as the human made heritage of CDC's significant portfolio of housing developments in the city.

This site also sits on a demographic inflection point between predominantly white, black, and Hispanic population centers.

And we would of course be remiss to present a design that didn't reflect.

The spirit and vibrancy of this mix of cultures as well, Joanna.

Joanna Griffith 7:11
So our primary goal with our.

Tenant relocation is we wanna minimize the disruption to the residents of Nashville village as much as possible.

We will be bringing on a relocation consultant and we will schedule several meetings with the tenant in the relocation consultant, just so tended to understand what the relocation process will be.

So we'll start with a few meetings early on and then future meetings.

In the future.

Our plan features direct interaction with the residents.

We want to first address phasing of the renovation of the existing units.

With an analysis of current occupancy.

The combined.

High number of vacant units and blocks.

AB and C we've calculated with the help of the Richmond Housing Authority as being 22 because we would like to relocate tenants on site as much as possible.

So we will be looking to use those units as.

Temporary hotel units.

At the time of creating our proposal for Block D.

D Our proposal Block D had the fewest occupied units and seemed like a natural place to start.

The redevelopment since.

We'll only be able to develop one block at a time, so we figured we would start with Block D.

This would allow us to relocate all residents without the use of any external relocation.

Which you know.

When you move in, people too far away from.

Their primary residence, it it can be a.

Disruptive.

Next slide please.

Prior to the redevelopment of Block D, tenants of the 15 occupied Block D units would be relocated to the vacant units in blocks AB and C.

Once we vacated and relocated all of the tenants out of Block D.

Development of the new construction.

Can proceed while this request for proposals included this block. 1st we would propose the future redevelopment of blocks AB and C as well to proceed in later phases in a similar manner.

Kate Conley, Architects FORA 10:01
Thanks for yeah, thanks for walking us through the relocation plan, Joanna.

Joanna Griffith 10:01
Back to UK.

Kate Conley, Architects FORA 10:05
I'm gonna talk about what's going there instead.

So our fit study for Block D focused on rightsizing the number of units on the site, while debulking the mass of the building toward the site edges. So the center volume is a four Storey building in the middle of the site that steps down to three storeys toward.
15th St. and 16th Streets.

The two smaller flanking buildings along Florida Ave. and Main Ave. are also three Storey flats just to break the mass of this larger building.

Down to the scale of the surrounding residential context.

And then in this view from Eastern Village Block C, you can see the step down areas as well.

If you wouldn't mind switching to the next slide, Dixie, the total new building area between the three buildings is just shy of 160,000 square feet.

And you can see the the density is 52 dwelling units per acre.

If we go to the next slide, the ground floor of the new building.

Will feature some ground level dwelling units, which we find are often preferred by residents with mobility impairments.

There's also an 80 space parking garage and some common areas on the ground floor, including the community meeting room.

The remainder of the dwelling units are on the upper floors with some smaller support spaces, shown here in pink throughout the buildings.

And lastly, a key part of our proposal and the way we practice design with all of our nonprofit developer partners. If you want to go to the next slide, Dixie.

Is with the robust community engagement process.

Joanna touched on this a little bit with her comments about having a relocation consultant and lots of meetings with the residents to walk them through this process in a really thoughtful and intentional way. We understand that this Community has endured multiple iterations of design solutions for knee STR.

Village. We are not the team. The first team to talk about this project.

And so our community engagement plan will be carefully crafted to gather that hyper local.

Local knowledge and understand the shared community values about this property and about this neighborhood from the current residents and from community

members. While of course balancing a concern about engagement fatigue from a community that has already contributed so much. So we employ A5 part community engagement process.

That utilizes research listening sessions design, Co creation with the Community accountability share US and design and construction updates to bring our work in alignment.

With community members and current residents throughout the entire development process.

Don, I don't know if you want to close us off, but that's the the end of our formal presentation.

[email protected] 12:51
Yeah. So.

Happy again to be able to present to you and looking forward to, you know, working in, in, in South Richmond, again in this beautiful project that we're putting together and look forward and and welcome your questions starting now. Thank you.

[REDACTED], 13:14
[REDACTED], do you guys have any questions?
And if you don't, I have a couple questions from one of our selection committee members that it looks like weren't answered during the presentation.

[REDACTED], 13:25
I do not at the moment.

[REDACTED], 13:26
OK.

[REDACTED], 13:28
I will.

I do, but I will wait for those two questions.

[REDACTED], 13:31
Sure. So I'll go first.

His first question was with recent discussions regarding budget cuts.

How do you impact these changes impact or how do you anticipate these changes impacting the NEWSTROM project?

Dixie Baus 13:49
Joanna, would you like me to take that or?

Joanna Griffith 13:54
Yeah, go for it.

Dixie Baus 13:54
Don. OK, well.

There's no.

There's no secret that it's a little bit unpredictable right now.

And and it the financing environment is is extremely unpredictable in so many different levels.

The.

We do see some impact on our existing projects that are in closing right now.

The the good news is, is that this team, this collective team, has worked together for so long.

That we are able to absorb and mitigate some of those rapid changes that happened during the bidding process.

I can.

I can tell you that when we underwrite a project.

We look at it collectively, not as if we're building today, but what could things look like in the next three to five years.

Which makes it Uber tricky, because honestly, the next 5 to 10 minutes is a little bit uncertain at times.

So we understand and recognize the challenges that are out there right now and what we will do is remain as nimble as this team has been in the past.

But also very transparent and honest with you all about the challenges and the nuances that we're seeing out there.

So that as a team, we can collectively talk about the challenges and how we overcome them together.

[REDACTED], 15:32

Perfect. And then their second question is how do you?
How do you address potential nimb yism concerns from existing residents and from people located around the neighborhood?

Kate Conley, Architects FORA 15:48
Do you want to take the Sunday?
Do you want to take it, John?

Dixie Baus 15:51
At Joanne Hardaway.

Joanna Griffith 15:51
Sure.

Kate Conley, Architects FORA 15:53
Please.

Joanna Griffith 15:54
So so again, I'm a long time Richmond resident.

Chdc is a community based development organization located in North Richmond and we have close ties to pretty much all the communities within Richmond.

We've attended previous Community, well, partnered and participated in previous.

Outreaches efforts.

To the Nestrum village community.

And so, you know, in our approach to community, working with the Community, we we listen and and we take into account what the, what the Community says they want to see within their neighborhoods.

And you know, although sometimes we can't address every wish because sometimes those wish lists are big, expensive and long.

We do work with them to come to a compromise that that everyone can live with.

Yeah, Chdc has been beat up a number of times in in Community meetings, but we have tough skin and and you know at the end of the day, we want to be a good neighbor and a partner to any community that we work in.

Donald Gilmore 17:20

Yeah, we work with the, you know, neighborhood councils and we have in, in instances we have more specific town hall meetings to go over and just talk through any issues.

We haven't had that problem in Richmond. You know, we've and I think it's because our our community engagement in how we outline the benefits of what we're doing in the Community and how that is actually improving the community.

And allowing access to folks who haven't been able to, you know, have decent homes or the opportunity to even just stay in, you know, the South Richmond area in Richmond in general, so.

That's what we look to, to work through and at the same time, you know, extending the different services exposure to services that they might not have had before.

Joanna Griffith 18:17
And the other thing we don't we try.

We don't over promise and over commit.

You know, if we can't do something, you know, we want to be up front with, with the community as well as our stakeholders.

[REDACTED], 18:33
Perfect.
[REDACTED],, whenever you're setting could go ahead.

[REDACTED], 18:38
And thank you all for the presentation.

So I have right now two questions.

The first one is with regards to the relocation.

I saw that.

You all would use the vacant units and the other blocks to temporarily house people from Block D.

How are you going to?
Address the units that need renovation in those.

Vacant for those vacant units because my understanding is some might be vacant for various reasons.

The units might be vacant for various reasons, maybe because there's a lot of work that needs to go into them.

Joanna Griffith 19:11
Thank you.

[REDACTED], 19:14
So how do you all plan to work with RHA on making sure those vacant units are ready for someone to move into?

Joanna Griffith 19:23
Yeah, so, so we would work with the Richmond Housing Authority and we would go out with our architects and do an assessment of the units and and identify which ones could be.

Renovated to allow.

Occupancy and and the cost of those renovations would be captured within the overall construction.

Budget. And so those units would be rehabbed first.

In order to allow us to temporarily relocate tenants into those units.

Carol Corr 20:09
And and that's something that cstc does quite often.

We have quite a few.

Units that we have, our buildings that we have renovated, you know, go through the whole assessment process bringing a whole team of experienced architects to and and engineers to look at what we need, whether it's just you know, room layouts but also the electrical, plumbing, things like that.

HVAC.

So we we make sure that we are.

We have experience to do that.

We know how to get that mobilized and move forward.

[REDACTED], 20:45
Thank you.

And just curious, is there a backup plan if you couldn't get the number of units that you wanted to or didn't pencil out on site, what's the backup plan if you needed to move people somewhere else? What would that look like?

Joanna Griffith 20:59
Sure. So that at that point we work with our relocation consultant and part of their contract is to not only work with us, to relocate people on site, but if there's a need for off site relocation.

Our relocation consultant.

Would be tasked to identify.

Units and we.

Try to keep keep it as close to their primary residence as we can.

That's not always possible, but but that's that's our goal too, you know, because we understand families.

You know, they have their children in school and the schools are are near their primary residence.

Some of them work close to home and so you know as we.

Stated in our presentation, we want to make we we try not to.

To disrupt the the tenants lives too much.

Donald Gilmore 22:04
Yeah. And it's and we're flexible too, like they might want to stay with, you know, their mom or other family members. And we provide, you know, resources to those family members that are doing that as well.

So we we try to adapt to what's best for the individual as much as we can.

[REDACTED], 22:26
Thank you.

And then on your in your presentation, you had the slide where it showed the support spaces in pink.

Can you speak more about what you're providing in those support spaces? And then I wanted to understand more about what other supportive services.

Are envisioned for the site.

Dixie Baus 22:54
You need me to bring that slide back up or can you speak to those?

Kate Conley, Architects FORA 22:58

I have this.

I have this video notes, yeah.

So in terms of on site resources for residents, we have a resident resource networking center that's planned as well as a technology suite where folks can come and use computers.

We also tend to combine that with a library space, especially in family developments, tends to just sort of become a tech lounge.

We call it and then of course, the Community gathering space, the Community room, and we like to locate all of these features on the ground floor as much as possible.

A so that it's not just, you know, a blank parking garage facade along those St. frontages, but also to really activate that street frontage and have eyes on the street.

So it's kind of this mutually beneficial interaction between the streetscapes and the building itself.

Dixie Baus 23:45
In terms of the.

Kate Conley, Architects FORA 23:45
And I'm sorry the second part of your question, it was the on site services, Dixie.

Yeah, go for it.

Dixie Baus 23:49
Yeah. In terms of the on site services, Chdc and Eden as a team, both recognize that in.

Bringing additional resources to our families helps them in so many different ways in terms of their educational outcomes, their future employment outcomes, the children's development or interest in STEM programs.

With sciences and arts and technology, all of that comes from our vast experience in really understanding what our residents want, what will help them in the best case possible, but also not duplicating efforts that are already in the Community. And Joanna can certainly speak to services that they.

Also bring to the sites just being chdc in the neighborhood.

Donald Gilmore 24:50
Yeah. We have a number of services in that.

Joanna Griffith 24:51
Yes. Yeah, I was gonna say that.

Donald Gilmore 24:53
We do. Yeah, with our. You know, we have clean cars for all drive that we do statewide. We had a $200 million grant that we have been awarded through the state to implement.

Joanna Griffith 24:55
Go ahead.

Donald Gilmore 25:07
An underserved communities that don't have access to those type of vehicles with down payment assistance and and non predatory lending.

We have our financial capabilities that we bring to the table for folks to.

You know, learn those financial skills and then, you know, there's graduation process from Renner to ownership.

We have those down payment assistance programs as well as some affordable creative financing.

So I mean cscc is comprehensive.

We were bringing all those resources to the Community and there's there's a lot more that we do. Small business lending not too long ago we took over the city's EDA program.

And we started.

Lending to folks in the community.

So entrepreneurship, you know, we have springboards to folks to have access to capital as well.

So we're, like I said, we're excited to bring this kind of stuff to the community, although it's in North Richmond, we do outreach, but it's nothing like having a presence in the local community, which we will be having.

Joanna Griffith 26:13
And I just wanna add you know.

And and crafting our services.

Will also.

Get input from the community to see what type of services they would like to see in the community.

Carol Corr 26:28
And I just want to add to that, you know, for some of our residents in our other properties, our, our, our housing, you know sometimes we need to work with DHAVHHP or no place like home and IDD programs.

So we have a wide range.

You know, we have people who have been formerly homeless or at risk of homeless all the way to what Don was talking about getting people ready and.

On their on their way to become homeless.

[REDACTED], 27:03
Thank you.

You mentioned not wanting to like duplicate services in in spaces. If you, I don't know if you all are aware, but the Martin Luther King Junior Center in the area was torn down many years ago, and we still have a commitment to the Community to rebuild it it.

Really important and many years ago.

It was discussed that.

Instead of having.

A large kind of Community Center space at the, you know, let me let me shift time asking this question.

What are your thoughts or what are your plans for community space on site? Like a Community Center or some sort of space on site? And how would you want to work with the city on figuring out if there's a possibility for shared space with the new MLK commun?
Center, which we really do plan to build.

Just what are your thoughts around not having?
You know the same large community space on in the Eastern Village site, knowing that a Community Center is coming up.

Are there any?
Thoughts around that?
How can we work together?

What are your plans for Community Center space on site? Anything like that?

Dixie Baus 28:22
I think this is the I'll start and then I know Joanna has a deep, deep vision as well as dawn on this, but on the subsequent blocks there is such a tremendous opportunity.

To preserve a few of the existing structures, not only just to pay.

A.

You know, respect to what has been in the neighborhood for so many years, but also to adaptively reuse those spaces to create that Community Center that you're talking about on site within the the heart of this new redevelop neighborhood.

So we would hope to identify.

Which is the most optimal phase in the next iteration of the block? Bucks to have that Community Center created with the city, with the Housing Authority to bring it to the neighbors in the neighborhood as soon as possible.

Joanne, I know you had some other visions as well.

Joanna Griffith 29:31
Well, I just wanna say, you know, I've been in the the community for over 50 years, so I remember Martin Luther King Center. Summers get the free lunch programs that the summer program, the after school programs. And those are some of the services that we, you know offer.

At some of our at most of our family buildings right now.

The family buildings that we have now, we offer those same.

Similar programs.

Probably not on the scale of the the former Martin Luther King.

Community Center, but.

Yeah, I think it would be good for us to to work with the city and see how we could work with the city to enhance the programs that they're planning for the the newly developed Martin Luther King Center.

So yeah, I would you know.

I'm I'm happy all inside at the opportunity to be able to be a part of that because that's, you know, I grew up there and I remember actually my sister used to be a counselor there for the the summer programs so, so very familiar with the Martin, the.

Former Martin Luther King, Center and looking forward to being working with the city on the on the newly constructed building.

Donald Gilmore 30:59
Yeah, I can remember playing basketball there long time ago.

Joanna Griffith 31:04
Thanks.

Donald Gilmore 31:04
When it was there, but you know, it's ironic that you that you mentioned this because we're in our proposal that we did in the North Richmond unincorporated area for the Los Deltas site that went away. One of the things we did we we looked at the studies that.

Were done.

And what the people were asking, what they needed and and that.

Was, you know, a very comprehensive Community Center that offered the opportunity to.

Expose to different things that they weren't getting there by not having these programs or these opportunities to to to participate.

That you don't have access to because you're not there.

You're not.

It's not right there in your community.

I know we got pal and some other things there, but it's nothing like having a a real functioning.

Community Center right there in your backyard.

And so we, I appreciate what we're trying to do and and we are in lockstep with whatever we can do to help make that happen.

[REDACTED], 32:13
Thank you.

That concludes my questions.

[REDACTED], 32:17
[REDACTED],, do you have any questions?

[REDACTED], 32:21
No.

[REDACTED], 32:23
I'm gonna pre emptively ask one 'cause I know it's come up in the past before.

I saw the proposal was for 111 units, one of the main things for the essentially the first phase of the project is for the 100 replacement units for those extra 11 units.

Is there some sort of plan to essentially set aside for formerly in a house or currently in house persons?

Dixie Baus 32:55
Joanna, you wanna take that one?

Joanna Griffith 32:57
Yeah. So so for chtc, you know, we know we can't solve the whole homeless crisis, but.

In all our developments, we designate a portion of the units for the young House, and so I don't see Neston village being any different.

We haven't.

Determined the percentage of the units that will be designated for the.

On house. But to answer your question, Gregory, yes, we are planning to have a portion of those units serve serve unhoused.

Donald Gilmore 33:38
Yeah, I think we've we've done the same thing on the legacy development that is going up right now on Fred Jackson way.

Joanna Griffith 33:46
Yes.

[REDACTED], 33:51
Alright, perfect.

And then same thing.

One more question 'cause I know it's come up in the past before.

Potential green building strategies.

Potential to move away from gas and kind of focus on electrification for the building or the potential to have electric car charges on site for people who do currently that they're potentially getting electric cars or solar implementation or other items like that.

Carol Corr 34:22
I'll start with yes, yes, yes and yes.

Kate Conley, Architects FORA 34:24
Yeah.

Dixie Baus 34:24
All right, Carol, you keep going.

Carol, would you like to start with that and I'm feeling.

Carol Corr 34:31
Yeah, we.

Yeah, I mean, we do have solar, solar ready.

We have, especially because we have our transportation program.

We are putting EV chargers in all of our buildings.

Electrification, yes we are.

We have moved away from gas already. All of our buildings that are in either still development or under construction are all electrified with, like I said, with no gas.

And now, yes, maybe Tate, you want to speak a little bit more to that?

Kate Conley, Architects FORA 35:04
Sure. Yeah, absolutely.

I would echo that most of this team's new project starts for several years now, have been all electric, and that's that's largely due to most Bay Area cities reach codes leading the way on that and most of our portfolio also features on site renewable energy, typically AP.

System on the rooftop and one of architects for us new projects with Eden is actually pursuing a lead zero net zero energy certification as well.

So we're pushing the envelope in terms of.

Affordable housing can be expected to do in terms of giving back to the grid, and I know Dixie Eden has so many green programs. If you want to touch on some of those as well.

Dixie Baus 35:45
Yeah, we do.

We we have an incredible sustainable division that does the analyzation once the building's in in service, right? Because there's always ways to optimize, even ongoing and and learn how you can design better for the next one. So projects that we just finished were already learning.

How to optimize the PV systems that go in?
Because they they tend to be not as efficient as as we want them to be, just from environmental factors that just can't be controlled.

But what we can do is we can take a look at that past and then realize what we can do.

And there's new incentives that come out all the time.

That is a neutral cost to our ongoing projects and so.

We strive and work continuously throughout the life of the project.

To continuously keep that up to date up to state-of-the-art energy goal in mind to reduce our footprint.

Donald Gilmore 36:56
Yeah. And also Carol mentioned the transportation program, which is, you know drive clean and you know we're the administrator of the state's grant program.

So folks are gonna have access to buying affordable clean cars and charging them up there right at their their house.

So we think that's a very good feature.

[REDACTED], 37:24
Perfect. Thank you, [REDACTED],
[REDACTED],, any further questions for me guys?

[REDACTED], 37:36
Thank you guys.

[REDACTED], 37:38
I don't either at the moment.

Thank you.

[REDACTED], 37:41
OK, perfect.

Thank you very much and I'm glad we got to do this again.

And if there's any other, Yep.

Joanna Griffith 37:48
Yes.

Donald Gilmore 37:50
Let me let me just can I close with one more thing though I I don't think it should be lost at.

[REDACTED], 37:54
Yep.

Donald Gilmore 37:57
The city of Richmond and some other folks, even in the county.

You guys birthed this organization to be doing what it's doing right now.

It it was.

The whole idea was a collective idea with the community to have.

A.

A community based organization that had capacity to address things in in their own backyard.

And that's who we are today. You guys have helped us build the capacity to now do what what you want us to do comprehensively and lending all our tools to everything in the Community.

So we are grateful for that happening and what has happened with the organization since then.

We just want to make sure we're able to be that partner that that you really plan for.

Your predecessors plan for in thinking ahead of what they would like to have.

To have an organization like us in your community and we're very excited about working in our backyard.
