Ann Arbor DDA approves $25,000 grant to support 'The Road Home' documentary
Summary
The Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority on May 6 approved a $25,000 grant to the Ann Arbor Housing Development Corporation to support The Road Home, a documentary described as an effort to educate and build support for affordable housing projects; the vote was by voice and followed a prior review in committee and at the April work session.
The Ann Arbor Downtown Development Authority board on May 6 approved a $25,000 grant to the Ann Arbor Housing Development Corporation to support The Road Home, a documentary the board said is intended to educate the public, foster unity and build support for downtown affordable housing projects.
Board members moved and approved the resolution by voice vote after the item was introduced by the chair. The grant request was brought to the DDA executive committee on March 4 and reviewed at the DDA's April 15 work session, and the board packet notes Jennifer Hall was present for questions.
The board also viewed a brief video excerpt that staff said will be part of the film and highlights the DDA's role in downtown affordable housing. There was no extended discussion recorded in the meeting minutes before the resolution passed.
The board packet lists the grantee as the Ann Arbor Housing Development Corporation and describes the film as an educational and outreach project; the resolution does not place continuing program conditions on the funding beyond the grant award. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; approval was by voice vote.
Next steps: staff will record the grant in the DDA budget and publicly list the grant in upcoming financial reports.
