Council reports highlight housing supports: HASU units and $1.2M grant for self-help builds
Summary
Councilmembers reported homelessness-service updates: Hasu will bring two 2-bedroom cottage units in June and July (transcript reported rent), the organization finalized a $1,200,000 grant to support self-help housing builds, and agencies are recruiting waiting-list applicants.
Council members gave updates on local housing and homelessness efforts during reports on May 26.
Caitlin told colleagues that Hasu has two two-bedroom cottage units arriving in June and July and is recruiting for waiting lists; she also noted a free homeless dental clinic scheduled June 12. Miles reported that Hasu finalized a $1,200,000 grant to support additional self-help building projects and said wait list counts vary (one meeting snapshot showed 56 households, typically in the twenties).
Councilmembers agreed to continue coordinating with partner organizations and to present more formal data on wait lists and housing availability at a future meeting. Staff did not provide detailed eligibility criteria or an exact rental figure beyond the amounts stated during the meeting; the transcript recorded a rental amount that may warrant verification.
