3 Building 8 Building 8 has no grounding in any of the existing electrical wiring. This created a condition in which we needed to remove all drywall and go down to existing framing. This means we are needing to bring the entire building up to code regarding not only the wiring, but also insulation, fire drafting, and drywall. The rough plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are nearly finished in this building, with a goal to have the building ready for insulation and drywall this week. Building 3 This building has the asbestos and demo finished. We have also finished the underground plumbing. The underground plumbing trenches have been filled in and the HVAC and plumbing rough are complete. The electrical rough in has started, with the intent to get an inspection and start insulation next week. Building 2 This building has had the asbestos and demo work done and the underground plumbing work is done. HVAC rough are underway with the electrical rough starting next week. Building 1 This building has the asbestos and demo work done and the underground plumbing is underway. Providence Walkway Apartments We submitted an application for 9% Low-Income Housing Tax Credits to the Missouri Housing Development Commission on March 13, 2018 to renovate the Providence Walkway Apartments. The MHDC has issued a Qualified Allocation Plan that only includes federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) funding. This will result in fewer units of affordable housing build across the state and make the application process much more competitive. The MHDC finally met on Friday, October 5, 2018 and adopted the staff recommendations for funding. Unfortunately our application for the Providence Walkway Apartments was not funded. We will be reexamining the project and be prepared to resubmit and application for low-income housing tax credits during the next funding round which will probably be in the fall of We have also submitted an application to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines for funding for the Providence Walkway Apartments through their Affordable Housing Program. Applications were due May 31, 2018 with awards announced in December An application to the City of Columbia for $100,000 in HOME Rental Production funding was submitted in April The Community Development Commission recommended full funding of our application. The City Council approved the commission s recommendation. The funds will be available in the summer of East Park Avenue Apartments and the Fisher Walkway Apartments As a result of Congress approving an increase the cap on the number of RAD units nationwide from 185,000 to 225,000, the CHA was issued a multiphase RAD award for our remaining 120 public housing units to be renovated. This includes our Providence Walkway Apartments (50 units), East Park Avenue Apartments (40 units), and Fisher Walkway Apartments (30 units). The multiphase award was issued on April 26, The award reserves RAD conversion authority for these final 120 units of public housing. 3

4 We have initiated a strategic planning process for the renovation or redevelopment of the East Park Avenue and Fisher Walkway Apartments. This will be an on-going planning process during 2018 and 2019 and will involve community input at some point in the process. This strategic planning process will also include discussions with other property owners, strategic community partners, and governmental agencies. 4

10 Recent rain has caused some site erosion and blockage of site drains. EM Harris will install silt fence and bales as indicated in the Civil drawings to prevent further stormwater pollution. Review of existing roof connectors between buildings determined that some locations should be removed as indicated on the drawings. For Building 14, it was determined that the existing roof connector should remain, as it was covering a new patio. Other locations may not be advisable to remain. This will be discussed more in depth at the next meeting. Building 14 - Exterior Building 14 - D Unit Exterior Building 14 - D Unit Front Deck Building 14 - C Unit 10
