Bills or Communications – None

 

Report of the Executive Director: Mr. Sternberg referred the Board to the Housing Monthly Activity & Status Report and noted the net gain of 15 new vouchers placed. Ms. Danforth, Housing Services Director, elaborated that there was a total of approximately 91 vouchers out and that it was incredible to get this meager number in place. Tabor has placed just one family because of the shortage of available low income housing for larger families. The fact that it is a “Landlord’s Market” drives rents even higher. Mr. Brazina answered questions on the issue of raising payment standards.

 

The Financial Report for the month of September was approved on a motion by Mr. Shultz, second by Ms. Fletcher, and unanimously accepted.
