FHA requests $96,000 CHAMP admin exemption to support lease‑up staffing
Summary
The board voted to request a $96,000 CHAMP administrative budget exemption to fund additional staff for lease‑up activities tied to Wallace Tower nearing completion; the board recorded a unanimous vote to submit the request.
Commissioner David Basilio moved and Commissioner Heidi Bogner seconded a motion to request $96,000 in funds as a CHAMP administrative budget exemption; the board voted unanimously to submit the request. The transcript records that the state encouraged FHA to apply and that approval by the state is not guaranteed.
Executive Director Douglas M. Bushman framed the request as support for staffing needed to aid lease‑up efforts associated with Wallace Tower’s near completion. Board members noted that additional staffing was intended to accelerate lease-up and improve resident services; the motion authorizes FHA to pursue the exemption but does not guarantee receipt of the funds.
The board also reviewed related staffing and vacancy strategies and discussed veterans’ housing initiatives and potential revitalization of the Green Acres property as workforce housing. The transcript notes interest in a project labor agreement with the local carpenters union as part of workforce planning.
