| 0 | 2. | Communication | Report from the Secretary-Executive Director
Minutes note: Mr. Pérez discussed the following items and made note of particular areas of interest for the Board:
• An article from the Housing Affairs Letter entitled “Maryland Desegregation Plan Setback”
• An article from the Housing Affairs Letter entitled “Congress Isn’t Buying HUD Felon Policy”
• A report and dashboard from the Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation covering the Make Your Money Talk program for the second quarter of 2016
• Financial statements from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation for the HACM Endowment Fund and the Scattered Sites II Endowment Fund for the period January to June 2016
• A news release from HACM regarding the August 17, 2016 Contractor Fair. Mr. Pérez asked Evans Gant, HACM Section 3 Coordinator, to provide additional information about the event.
Mr. Pérez shared the day’s Daily Reporter with the Commissioners, which featured the article “Developer readies for Soldiers Home restoration project” on its front page. HACM is expected to be involved at the tail end of the redevelopment of the six historic buildings into veterans housing.
Mr. Pérez also passed around a thank you letter from the Milwaukee Christian Center for a donation made in the name of Commissioner Van Alstine, who recently retired from MCC.
Mr. Pérez invited Ken Barbeau, HACM Director of Community Programs and Services, to speak about recent efforts regarding youth immunizations at Westlawn.
Mr. Pérez next brought up Fernando Aniban, HACM Chief Financial Officer, to discuss a recent RFP for investors related to the Tax Credit award for Victory Manor.
Mr. Pérez reminded the Commissioners that the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials will be having their National Conference on October 14 through 16 in New Orleans and that it is a resource available to them.
Mr. Pérez thanked the Commissioners for taking time out for the August 31 Special Board Meeting. HACM is mindful of their time and tries to minimize those occasions.
Mr. Pérez noted that Our Journey Home, the film produced by the Housing Authority Insurance Group and narrated by musician Jewel, had a screening at the Oriental Theater on September 13th and included a screening of an earlier HAIG piece featuring Sayvon Friend, a HACM Student of the Year.
Chair Wagner remarked on the Endowment Funds and their continued strength, and the positive reaction of attendees of the Contractor Fair. Mr. Pérez said we stand upon the shoulders of the Commissioners.
Mr. Pérez closed by noting that the Greater Milwaukee Foundation held its Board Meeting outside of their facilities earlier this week – the first time it has done that in at least five years – and held it at Westlawn. HACM presented some of the efforts in the Choice Neighborhood area.
