OCII reports Alice Griffith Phase 4 leased up; public-housing replacement and lottery units occupied
Summary
OCII staff reported that Phase 4 at Alice Griffith (31 units) was completed and leased: 19 public-housing replacement units and 11 lottery units (plus a manager unit), with outreach and DALIA application assistance highlighted; staff said many relocated households returned to new units.
At the Oct. 1 meeting the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure presented a marketing-outcomes report on Alice Griffith Phase 4.
Jeff White, OCII housing program manager, said Phase 4 contains 31 units: 19 public-housing replacement units intended for relocatees from Alice Griffith and 11 lottery units (one- and two-bedroom configurations) plus a manager’s unit. He reported the phase was completed late last year and leased up by June, and that outreach efforts produced COP applicants though some prospective COP holders fell out for a variety of reasons (including moving to other inclusionary units or being over-income for the available units).
White said four households occupied units under the displaced-holder preference and seven households filled remaining lottery preference spots tied to rent burden. He described casework and logistical support to help many former Alice residents return to replacement units and called the overall relocation and re-occupancy effort a notable success.
Commissioners asked follow-up questions about preference sequencing (rent burden and displaced-tenant preferences) and about outreach channels: staff said the DALIA applicant system had become the primary application platform and that OCII provides assistance for applicants intimidated by electronic systems. OCII committed to continuing outreach and reporting back with further outreach ideas in upcoming annual housing reports.
No action was required; the report was informational and commissioners thanked staff for the leasing results.
