The Minutes were approved. It was MOVED by Dave Paulson, SECONDED by Joy Pugh and CARRIED to approve the January 26th Minutes.
Disclosure of Any Conflict of Interest Matters: None.
For Information and Discussion:
1. CEO Search Process
Karen thanked the search committee and reported that 52 applications total were received for the CEO position. The committee met last week and chose 5 applicants to interview. Interviews are being planned for April with a hopeful decision by May.
2. Review of January Financials
Dave went over the balance sheet – as of Feb. 28th, $19 million in assets. Total liability is $2.6 million. Nothing much has changed since last time. PHA and Alliance management have recorded $1.4 million in revenue, around $50K over in terms of the income that has come in. As far as expenses, we are $131,000 over and most of that is attributable to the DHCD Home loan expenses. This year the flow through is a bit higher than budgeted $165,780 in expenses and revenue compared to year to date budget of $62,500. Bill explained further that a portion of the $131K overage related to professional costs associated with Woods Edge that will be coming back to us by the end of April. The rest of it ($37K), relates to Friendship Court consultants costs, carried over into this year but is offset by revenue recorded this year. VHDA grant is also needing to come in and this will be offset. Once you add that up, it’s really more like a difference of $2K on the expense side. The net income looks like $80,000 short of our income projection but we will be receiving the Jessie Ball Dupont monies of $46,500 soon along with the items discussed above causing our difference is closer to $7,500 in the positive. Net operating cash flow is closer to $200,000. When Woods Edge closes, we are looking at roughly $600,000 that will hit in the current fiscal year (around June with HUD loan). Surplus cash can be taken out only a few times a year, so closer to July that money will be available. Bill has made a schedule for FY17-18 that will be looked at more in April and ready for the May 15th Executive Committee meeting.
3. Friendship Court Update
Karen thanked board members who were able to be a part of the discussion with finance consultant Marc Norman last week. Beth and Claudette are participating in several conferences in DC – one of the presentations is called “Making Mixed-Income Work”. There was a community dinner recently held on February 16th and on the 23rd there was a regular Advisory Committee meeting. February 8th there was a meeting at Legal Aid to help further the discussion on the redevelopment. There will be more meetings with the Residents Association and Legal Aid. On March 20th, representatives from our partners NHT, Scott Kline and Kevin White, came down and spent some time with us to talk about Friendship Court and their interest in staying involved. Beth is working with Timmons and City staff on site infrastructure planning. Claudette and the Youth Leadership Team have been working together with Barbara Brown Wilson’s UVA class on some quick win improvements to the community. They have also been talking to the management about things like the basketball courts and how to make that better. Barbara hopes to get the kids to the board at some point to share some of their ideas on the redevelopment. Zafar Khan also helped with some resident engagement during a recent meeting with some new residents to encourage the positive changes. The next community-wide meeting is May 11th.
It was noted that Karen Barnes no longer lives at Friendship Court, so the Board should consider a current resident replacement.
4. Woods Edge Update
Woods Edge has 97 units of existing senior housing and will become ours by the end of April. We are recruiting for another property manager so that we can take care of this property. This will bring our portfolio up to 9 properties and around 350 individual units.
A question around what we are doing in Fluvanna, Nelson and Louisa Counties came up. We are pursuing a project with Fluvanna County. We expect to look for more opportunities once we have a new CEO in place.
5. Board Committee Updates
Frank commented that he wanted to see if perhaps an executive committee might be able to fold into a finance committee so as not to over-commit anyone. Steve sees a reason for all three committees (Executive, Finance and Governance) and appreciates how lean they currently are. Joy would like Barbara to replace her on the Governance Committee. Barbara asked if we need a Friendship Court Committee as a separate committee at this point; it was noted the Board decided on the Friendship Court Advisory Committee structure and the Board as a committee of the whole. In terms of Philanthropy Committee, there are still questions about who we are becoming philanthropically - the new CEO can help direct this. Vice-President may not need to be on all of the committees, therefore the bylaws should be amended. Move that Staff amend the ByLaws – Steve made a motion that we amend the ByLaws, Sateyendra Huja seconded, and CARRIED to amend the bylaws for May meeting.
Marjorie does coaching for other realtors every Thursday from 4-5PM and therefore can never come to the board meetings. The idea of changing the days of our board meetings was discussed.
6. Spark Mill Development (Fundraising) Report and Plans
Karen mentioned we have about 10 hours left to work with them that could be used for philanthropy Board training and assistance with hiring a development director. This is on hold until the new CEO is hired.
7. New Business
There are lots of great classes happening and new homeowner stories on our blog and our feature on Cville Inside-Out feature is happening tonight. Carlton Views is having an open house on 4/4. IMPACT is a faith-based group in the area and one of their focus areas is senior housing. They are convening later in April if anyone wants to know more about that.
Oliver mentioned that there have been several form-based code forums that are portraying this as a new form of gentrification. The city sponsored forums have been much better representations of what this means. Form-based code in and of itself is not a form of gentrification and it will be important to understand the difference. Our interest is in affordable housing, and this needs to be put more on the city as we continued with the redevelopment of Friendship Court. Beth agreed to serve on the stakeholder group who is meeting to organize these meetings. We hope to stay on the forefront of the form-based code for the sake of our Friendship Court residents. Barbara mentioned that she has a colleague reaching out to Legal Aid to see if she can provide assistance on these topics. She also mentioned that the county is also going through some of the same policy issues with form- based code.
Meeting was adjourned at 6:07 PM.

Veronica Mallory and Her Son Daniel Use VIDA Funds to Help Get Him through College
Veronica Mallory was falling on hard financial times when she heard about the VIDA program. At first, Veronica thought it was a program exclusively to help people with down payment assistance when purchasing a home. Veronica wondered if VIDA assistance could help her with the financial burden of sending her son through college. Her son Daniel, or De as she calls him, was a student at Bridgewater College and about to start his sophomore year. Regretting not going to college herself, Veronica made it a priority for her son. In the summer of 2015 Veronica had no idea how she was going to be able to pay for her son to return to college for his sophomore year.
Veronica decided to pursue finding out more about the VIDA program from Piedmont Housing Alliance. She learned that VIDA funds can be used for a variety of means: to help small businesses further their endeavors, down payment assistance for homebuyers as well as for tuition and school costs for parents and students. After qualifying and subsequently taking the necessary classes required, she was on her way to establishing savings and receiving matching funds. At the time, by saving $2,000 she was able to receive $4,000 to use toward De’s tuition and books. Then, by the following year, De, who had been working a summer job to help pay for his tuition, decided to also enroll in the program. He met the criteria and was also approved. By then, the program guidelines had changed and he only had to save $500 in order to receive the $4,000 match. In the end, both Veronica and De were able to receive $4,000 each, totaling $8,000 to put towards De’s college tuition.
Veronica encourages anyone with a need that qualifies to pursue the VIDA program. Without it, she says they would not have been able afford all four years of college for De. “It was a really easy program to go through and Shelley was a huge help anytime I had a question,” said Veronica. “This program was such a blessing to us.”
De plans to graduate this May with a degree in Health and Exercise Science and has already applied to five different graduate schools with the hope of becoming a professional trainer.
Happy graduation, De! Rob Puie and Family Find Their Ideal Home in Crozet
Rob Puie and his wife Emilia moved to Crozet two and a half years ago from Queens, NY. Emilia said living there got to be harder and harder with two small, growing children. They were getting frustrated with the traffic, difficult parking, and high cost of living in New York. The couple settled on Central Virginia after getting to know some people from the community and realizing it would be a good investment in their future.
At first, Rob and Emilia rented in Crozet, but as their family started to grow, they realized that they were going to need more space. Rob, a PE teacher at Clark Elementary School, began to inquire about becoming a homeowner. He found out about Piedmont Housing Alliance’s homebuyer education, counseling, and resources from others in the community. In May, Rob started working with housing counselor Virginia Leary to become mortgage-ready and explore down payment loan options. Rob and Virginia worked together for many months, during which he completed the necessary classes and paperwork to prepare for home ownership and take advantage of down payment assistance loan funds.
It was important for the family to have more space as well as equity in a home after renting for most of their lives. Rob and Emilia wanted to stay close to the home they were renting in Crozet, where they had started building a community in a place that was not too far from Charlottesville where Rob works. They quickly found the house on Hilltop Street that they loved, but at the time, it was above their price range. After several more months of home searching, they came back to the place on Hilltop, as the price had dropped, and they were finally able to make an offer.
Rob said Piedmont Housing Alliance was able to offer them a step-by-step guide on what to anticipate with the process of homebuying. “It was a good overall experience and the classes were quite helpful too,” Rob said.
When asked what she might tell other potential homebuyers, Emilia suggested, “You just have to be patient. Don’t feel like you have to jump on the first thing you see out there, but have an idea of what you want.”
The Puies closed on their Crozet home in January and are expecting their 4th child later this year. Congratulations!
Charlottesville Resident George Johnson Purchases His First Home in Charlottesville
George Johnson understands the importance of housing for a strong foundation and the availability of future opportunities. George’s work experience at Virginia Supportive Housing underscores that importance for him on a personal level. That is why, after renting most of his adult life, he decided it was time to purchase his own home. George wanted something he could feel comfortable in and eventually pass onto his daughter. After talking with his uncle, George decided he’d like to buy the home where he spent much of his childhood – his grandmother’s house. He started working on his own to make his dream of homeownership come true, but at a friend’s recommendation, George reached out to Piedmont Housing Alliance for assistance.
George started working with housing counselor Virginia Leary in July. After completing the first time homebuyer class and talking about ways to receive help through Piedmont Housing Alliance, he was encouraged to keep pursuing his dream. In just a few months, George was able to reduce his debt and improve his credit score. By the fall, George received down payment assistance through Piedmont Housing Alliance, funded by the Charlottesville Affordable Housing Fund. He was able to close on his home on Page Street by December. After a month in his new home, George said, “It’s just an unbelievable feeling. It’s wonderful!”
George wants other potential homebuyers to know that it’s not an easy process, but he said, “Just stick with it, have faith and it will all work out.” He also said that going through housing and financial counseling did a lot more for him than enable him to buy a home. It helped him learn a new way of life that has created a sustainable future for him and his family. Congratulations, George!
