Committee explores staff housing options and RHP grant for former clinic site
Summary
Members discussed consolidating provider housing and applying for an RHP housing grant for the former clinic site on 11th Avenue; Wahl said previously missing the dedication change prevented applying last year and that the RHP deadline is in October.
A committee member asked where housing costs for traveling providers appear in the budget; Director Wahl said lease payments and some utility/janitorial charges capture housing expenses and that the current leased housing units are nearly maximized. Wahl said the clinic’s long-term solution should be owning housing to contain costs and make staff housing reliable.
Wahl and others discussed the 11th Avenue property (the former clinic site) and the need to remove a prior dedication so the site could be prioritized for clinic or public-safety housing. Wahl noted that because the dedication change did not happen in time last year, the clinic could not apply for an RHP housing grant; with the dedication proposed now and an October deadline, the committee expects to be able to apply this year. Wahl also said he did not see a current stated grant ceiling (it used to be $350,000 but that line was removed from current materials).
