OUR BILL IS ITEM NUMBER ONE. AB
FOUR EIGHTY BY THIS MEMBER CHIU
PLEASE PROCEED. GOOD AFTERNOON
COLLEAGUES MANAGER APPRECIATE
YOU AND YOUR STAFF
CONSIDERATION AND DELIBERATION
OVER AB FORTY ONE. OUR BILL
WILL INCREASE TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY BETWEEN POLICE
DEPARTMENTS AND LOCAL
COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. AS A
FORMER CRIMINAL PROSECUTOR I
KNOW AND BELIEVE THAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN CALIFORNIA OUR
FOUR PARTNERS AND PUBLIC
SAFETY. WE ALSO KNOW THAT THEY
ARE NOT MILITARY GENERALS AND
THAT THERE SHOULD BE POLICIES
THAT GOVERN THE WEAPONS AND
EQUIPMENT THAT THEY CARRY TO
REFLECT THAT REALITY.
CALIFORNIA'S LED THE NATION AND
HAVING PROCURED THE MOST
MILITARY WEAPONRY OF ANY STATE.
LAST SUMMER. OUR STATE SAW AN
ALARMING RANGE OF EQUIPMENT AND
ACTION WHEN POLICE SPRAY TEAR
GAS FOR MILITARY GRENADE
LAUNCHERS AT PEACEFUL
PROTESTERS. AND SHOT RUBBER
BULLETS AT UNARMED CITIZENS
FROM BEHIND ARMORED VEHICLES-
BEEN A NUMBER OF STUDIES THAT
HAVE SHOWN. THAT MORE MILITARY
EQUIPMENT AND LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT HAS INCREASED THE
RATE OF VIOLENT INCIDENTS
INCLUDING POLICE SHOOTINGS THAT
OCCUR IN THESE JURISDICTIONS.
THE DECISIONS OF HOW AND WHEN
TO DEPLOY THE SENSITIVE
EQUIPMENT WAS LEFT UP TO
INDIVIDUAL OFFICERS AT THE
SCENE THIS PAST YEAR. WITHOUT
UNIFORM PROTOCOL OR TRAINING.
WE KNOW THAT THIS WOULD BE
UNACCEPTABLE IN WAR ZONES LIKE
IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN. WHERE THIS
EQUIPMENT WAS DESIGNED TO BE
USED. AB FORTY ONE WOULD ALLOW
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. AGENCIES
TO WORK WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES
AND GOVERNING BOARDS TO DROP
APPROPRIATE MILITARY EQUIPMENT
USE AND IMPACT POLICIES THAT
CAN BE DELIBERATED AND APPROVED
IN A PUBLIC SETTING. THE PUBLIC
HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHEN AND
WHY LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
BELIEVETHAT THEY NEED TO USE
MILITARY CALIBER COMMITMENT
ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR POLICE ARE
USING PUBLIC DOLLARS TO
PURCHASE AND MAINTAIN ADEQUATE.
WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO TURN
OVER TOLD WITNESSES. GO AHEAD
WE HAVE. FIRST WITH THIS. HI
CAN YOU HEAR ME YES WE CAN.

PLANNED PURCHASES DURING THE
ANNUAL BUDGET REVIEW PROCESS.
THIS BILL SIMPLY REQUIRED
ADDITIONAL DETAIL ABOUT THE
EQUIPMENT SHOT AS WELL AS THE
USAGE POLICY BEFORE POLICE CAN
BRING THE MOST EXTREME WARLIKE
EQUIPMENT INTO OUR COMMUNITIES.
THIS IS A MINIMAL ASK OF OUR
PUBLIC SERVANTS. POLICE MAY
CLAIM THEY NEED THIS EQUIPMENT
WE ARE JUST SAYING THAT LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND THE PUBLIC
SHOULD HAVE A VOICE IN THE
PROCESS. AB FOUR EIGHT ONE IT
IS A COMMON SENSE SOLUTION TO
ADVANCE RACIAL JUSTICE REDUCE
POLICE VIOLENCE AND IN CERTAIN
BASIC TRANSPARENCY MEASURES.

MAJOR PROJECT FOR OUR REGION
ACCORDING TO A DAM SAFETY
DIRECTIVE ISSUED BY THE FEDERAL
ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION
JUST LAST YEAR. THEY STATED
THAT THE SAFETY RISK AT THIS
PARTICULAR DAM ANDERSON DAM IS
UNACCEPTABLY HIGH. AUTHORIZING
THE USE FOR BEST VALUE
PROCUREMENT WILL ALLOW THE
SAFEST AND BEST OVERALL VALUE
FOR THE REMOVAL AND- AN EXPERT
REPLACEMENT OF THIS CRITICAL
WATER STORAGE PROJECT. SO I
JUST LISTEN ALSO ENSURES THEY
SKILLED AND TRAINED WORKFORCE

ASSEMBLY MEMBER CORK SILVA
WELCOME MISS KIRK SILVA.
GOOD
AFTERNOON GOOD AFTERNOON IT IS
CHILLY IN HERE JUST TRYING TO
KEEP EVERYBODY AWAKE HUH. ALL
RIGHT WELL GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE I AM PLEASED TO BE
HERE TO PRESENT AB THREE FORTY
FIVE MY ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT
BILL OR A DO YOU BILL ALL OUR
GRANNY FLAT BILL FOR THOSE WHO
USED TO CALL OF THAT. AB THREE
FORTY FIVE WOULD MAKE A MODEST
CHANGES TO A CURRENT LAW BY
REMOVING EXISTING BARRIERS FOR
NONPROFIT OF NONPROFIT
AFFORDABLE OWNERSHIP.
DEVELOPERS BUILDING HOMES FOR
VERY LOW AND EXTREMELY LOW
INCOME CALIFORNIANS. NOW LET ME
BE CLEAR. FIRST IT IS A CHOICE
FOR A PROPERTY OWNER TO BUILD A
DAY DO YOU. SECOND IT'S ANOTHER
CHOICE TO CONVEY OR TRANSFER
THAT EIGHTY YOU TO A NON PROFIT.
THIS MEASURE WOULD ALLOW THE
SEPARATE SALE OF AN EIGHTY YOU
IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES AS THE
DEFAULT IN CALIFORNIA RATHER
THAN REQUIRING LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS THE FIRST PASSED
ORDINANCES WHICH CAN BE AS WE
ALL KNOW VERY LENGTHY AND DRAWN
OUT PROCESSES. BY REMOVING THIS
REQUIREMENT AND ADDING LANGUAGE
CLARIFYING THE TENANT IN COMMON
AGREEMENT THIS MEASURE WILL
ALLOW NONPROFITS LIKE HABITAT
FOR HUMANITY TO EXPAND THE
REACH OFFERING ADDITIONAL
OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES. AND I
WANT TO EMPHASIZE HABITAT
HUMANITY AS I'VE WORKED
DIRECTLY WITH THEM AND FOR MANY
OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T WORKED WITH
THEM THEY REALLY LITERALLY GIVE
THE KEYS TO HOMEOWNERS UP WITH
A PARTNERSHIP PROJECTS. AS WE
KNOW ALL TOO WELL BEFORE THE
COVERT NINETEEN PANDEMIC OUR
STATE WAS FACING ONE OF THE
WORST HOUSING CRISIS IS. AND
CONTINUES TO NOTHING HAS
CHANGED SINCE THE PANDEMIC ONLY
THAT THE OUTCOMES ARE EVEN
WORSE WE KNOW THAT MANY
FAMILIES ARE AT THE RISK OF
LOSING HOMES BECAUSE OF THE
PANDEMIC BUT EVEN THOSE
FAMILIES BEFORE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO OWN A HOME IS VERY ELUSIVE
FOR SO MANY CALIFORNIANS. WITH
THAT ONE OF THE REASONS IS
SIMPLY HOUSING PRODUCTION. WE
KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY
ATTEMPTS TO BRING HOUSING
PRODUCTION BILLS TO OUR STATE
AND MANY HAVE BEEN BLOCKED OR
STOPPED. AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT
THAT'S ONE OF THE PRIMARY
REASONS FOR THE INCREASE COST.
MY DAUGHTER HERSELF JUST
PURCHASED A HOUSE. IN FULLER
TEN FOR ALL OVER THE MEDIUM
PRICE BECAUSE OF BIDDING WARS A
NINETEEN TWENTIES VERY SMALL
WITH ALMOST NO YARD HOME. AT A
VERY HIGH PRICE BECAUSE THERE'S
NOT VERY MANY HOMES AVAILABLE.
WITH THAT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS
BILL WILL ADD TO OUR STOCK OF
HOUSING IT WILL ADD FOR THOSE
INDIVIDUALS PROPERTY OWNERS
THAT CHOOSE AN OPTION FOR
SOMEBODY TO LIVE ON THEIR
PROPERTY AND FOR THEM TO CONVEY
THAT TO NONPROFIT AFTER CHOICE
WITH ME TODAY I HAVE. TWO
WITNESSES. AND THE HERE TO
SHARE INFORMATION IS DEBBIE.
RKL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY. MODERATOR
WE WILL TAKE THE BOTH THE
WITNESSES DEBBIE AND SUSAN MAN
THAT. YES YOUR LINE IS OPEN.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS MY NAME IS DEBBIE OUR
ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WITH
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY CALIFORNIA
AND I'M REPRESENTING THE VIEWS
OF HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
AFFILIATES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA WE'RE PROUD TO
SPONSOR AB THREE FORTY FIVE AND
STAND ALONGSIDE ASSEMBLYMEMBER
SHARON QUIRK SILVA INCREASE THE
SUPPLY OF AFFORDABLE OWNER
OCCUPIED UNITS. AND MANY OF YOU
KNOW HABITAT IS AN AFFORDABLE
HOME DEVELOPER AND LENDER FOR
LOW INCOME FAMILIES AND
HOUSEHOLDS WE SERVE OUR LOW
INCOME WORKING FAMILIES AND
OVER TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO ACCESS AFFORDABLE
HOMEOWNERSHIP THROUGH HABITAT.
pHOMEOWNERS ARE HOUSEHOLDS OF
COLOR AND OVER 15% INCLUDE AT
THAT CAN FAMILY MEMBER I REALLY
WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS
LEGISLATION DOES NOT CHANGE THE
EXISTING HOME DEVELOPMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS. HABITAT AND
ANY OTHER NONPROFIT BUILDERS
WOULD STILL NEED TO FOLLOW THE
SAME THE MIDDLE PROCESS WITH AN
APPLICATION THE REVIEW AND THE
APPROVAL REQUIRED BY LOCAL
PLANNING AND BUILDING
DEPARTMENT WHAT THE LEGISLATION
REALLY DOES IS IT SERVES TO
REMOVE THE EXTRA BURDEN OF
REQUIRING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
ADOPT A SEPARATE ORDINANCE
WHICH IS A DETERRENT FOR
DEVELOPERS WE HAVE HABITAT
AFFILIATE TO INQUIRED ABOUT.
BUILDING MORE ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS FOR LOW INCOME
OWNERSHIP AND BEING ABLE TO
EXPAND OF LAND USE WHICH IS ONE
OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE ASPECTS
OF ANY DEVELOPMENT BUT THEY'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXTRA TIME
AND EFFORT THAT IT WOULD TAKE
TO WORK WITH CITIES TO ADOPT
BEFORE EVEN STARTING. A PROJECT
APPROVAL PROCESS. INCREASE
AFFORDABLE PRODUCTION ESSENTIAL
FOR CAL. REMOVING BARRIERS LOST
MAINTAINING LOCAL APPROVAL
PROCESS EASIER WOULD SAVE
NONPROFIT AFFORDABLE DEVELOPERS
LIKE HABITAT VALUABLE TIME AND
MONEY. AND THAT LEGISLATION
WOULD ALLOW EIGHTY YOU
DEVELOPMENTS THAT ARE APPROVED
TO BE SOLD FIVE RIGHT RATHER
THAN REQUIRING THE
EXTRAVAGANCE. BY REMOVING OF
THE ORDINANCE MORE AFFORDABLE
UNITS WILL BE BUILT AND SOLD TO
LOW INCOME BUYERS AND OFTEN
FIRST TIME HOME BUYERS OF COLOR
THIS WOULD ALLOW. US ALL TO
HELP CLOSE THE RACIAL GAP IN
HOMEOWNERSHIP. ADDITIONALLY AS
MENTIONED THE BILL PROVIDES
CLARITY IN THE LAW BY
DESCRIBING THE REQUIREMENTS FOR
THE TENANT IN COMMON AGREEMENT
NEEDING AND NEEDED UNDER THIS
PROVISION. IT WOULD EASE THE
BARRIERS TO DEVELOPMENT AND
INCREASE THE OPPORTUNITY. TO
YOU- YOU. MAKE BETTER USE LAND
AND- THE NUMBER LOW INCOME
HOMEOWNER. JUST AS A QUICK
SUCCESS STORY TO ILLUSTRATE WE
WERE ABLE TO APPLY THAT EIGHTY
LEGISLATION IN. BUTTE COUNTY
AND THEY WERE ABLE TO ACQUIRE
THREE PARCELS THAT THEY WERE
GOING TO SERVE THREE HOMEOWNERS
AND NAME. AND TO THE
LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED
THEY WERE ABLE TO TURN THAT
INTO SERVING SIX NEW HOMEOWNERS
CAN FIVE OF THEM HAD BEEN
DISPLACED BY THE CAMP WILD
FIRES. IF THIS DEAL LEGISLATION
AB THREE FORTY FIVE WITH IN
PLACE THEY WOULD HAVE SAVED
SIGNIFICANT TIME AND MONEY AND
BEEN ABLE TO SERVICE HOMEOWNERS
QUICKER. AB EIGHT THREE FORTY
FIVE WILL HELP INCREASE THE
SUPPLY OF AFFORDABLE HOME TO
HELP CLOSE THE OWNERSHIP GAP
ACROSS RACE AND ETHNICITY AND
HELP REDUCE THE COST. MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY CALIFORNIA IS GRATEFUL
FOR THE TREMENDOUS
CONSIDERATION OF THIS IMPORTANT
DEL AND WE ARE CAN HIDE. THE
KEY THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. ANOTHER WAY IN. SUPPORT.

LAW WHICH MANDATES EIGHTY YOU'D
BE ALLOWED STATEWIDE- BUT IT IT
AND IT STILL ALLOWED LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS SHOULD THEY
CHOOSE TO PASS CODE NINJAS. ON
EIGHTY LEGISLATION- TO PROCEED
WITH THAT PROCESS- WE FIND THIS
PIECE OF LEGISLATION WOULD BE
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AND ARE
VERY GRATEFUL TO THE ASSEMBLY
WOMAN'S A LEADERSHIP ON THIS
ISSUE BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE THAT
INCREASED ALL MONISHA FOR LOW
INCOME INDIVIDUALS AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR- PRIMARILY
AND HISTORICALLY EXCLUSIVE
COMMUNITIES THAT AFRICAN
GENERATIONAL WEALTH BUILDING
OPPORTUNITIES AND ECONOMIC
STABILITY TO THOSE THAT HAVE
FREQUENTLY BEEN
DISENFRANCHISED- FROM
OWNERSHIP. SO WE ARE GRATEFUL
FOR HER- LEADERSHIP TODAY I'M
OFTEN HERE FOR ANY TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AND SHOULD THERE BE

NONE- MODERATOR IF YOU'D LIKE

ON BEHALF THE HOUSING ACTION
COALITION IN SUPPORT OF AB
THREE FOUR FIVE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU AND WE HAVE NO
FURTHER OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT
IN Q. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MODERATE OR
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE
COMMITTEE. UGH QUESTION FROM
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BAR HARBOR.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING FOR THIS
LEGISLATION I WAS WONDERING-
SINCE THE LAURA FRIEDMAN BILL
CREATED THIS WHEN TO AFFECTED
JANUARY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY AND
THEN WE'VE BEEN IN A PANDEMIC-
I'M NOT SURE. THERE'S EVIDENCE
OUT THERE THAT SHOWS THAT
CITIES ARE PURPOSELY
OBSTRUCTING THE ORDINANCE I'VE
BEEN I WAS ON THE AND SENATE
CITY COUNCIL EIGHTY YEARS ARE
HIGHLY- ACCEPTABLE FORM OF
HOUSING IN MY CITY BUT I
BELIEVE VERY STRONGLY IN THE
NEED FOR LOCAL CONTROL AND
PASSING AN ORDINANCE. THAT
ALLOWS THIS TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT
IS NOT ONEROUS OR DIFFICULT AND
SO I THINK IT'S PREMATURE TO
SAY THAT WE HAVE TO DO BY RIGHT
AND WE HAVE TO FORCE ALL CITIES
TO DO THIS. BECAUSE IT DOES GET
RID OF SINGLE FAMILY ZONING AND
IT DOES GIVE A TURN CONVEYANCER
NONPROFIT AND THEY'RE GOOD
NONPROFITS LIKE HABITAT FOR
HUMANITY WHICH I HAVE BUILT
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY HOUSES
WHEN I WAS A BERKELEY. IT'S A
GREAT ORGANIZATION BUT IF IT'S
ANY NONPROFIT SO THERE ARE SOME
BAD ACTORS OUT THERE SO I THINK
IT'S PREMATURE TO SAY WE NEED
TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE BY RIGHT
THAT IT'S NOT WORKING I THINK
THAT THERE'S EVIDENCE AFTER THE
PANDEMIC THAT IS NOT WORKING. I
THINK THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE
TO BRING BACK THEN BUT TO SAY
WE'RE GONNA DO IT BY RIGHT AND
WE TAKE FOR AWAY SINGLE FAMILY
ZONING AND PLACES WHERE EIGHTY
WAS ARE CURRENTLY ACCEPTABLE
MAKING IT PERHAPS NOT
ACCEPTABLE IN OTHER PLACES- IS
NOT THE WAY TO INCREASE.
HOUSING STUFF AND I'LL BE
OPPOSING THE BILL. THANK YOU DE
ASK ME QUESTION AND THE
QUESTION WAS HAVE WE SEEN ANY
EVIDENCE- RELATED TO. ONEROUS
OBJECTIONS TO EIGHTY USE I
WOULD FIRSTHAND SAY I'VE NOT
SEEN ONEROUS OBJECTIONS BUT
WHAT I WOULD SAY AT THE FOR
EVEN THE CURRENT PROJECT.
PROCESSES WITH THE LEGISLATION
THAT WE HAVE PASSED IN LAST
HANDFUL OF YEARS. THE LAST TWO
YEARS SPECIFICALLY. THEY STILL
ARE VERY UNCLEAR ON SOME OF THE
LANGUAGE WHICH WE ACTUALLY HAD
ADDITIONAL PIECES OF
LEGISLATION. BUT DECIDED NOT TO
MOVE FORWARD ON THOSE- BY
MYSELF HAVE LOOKED INTO NAY D.
YOU ON OUR OWN PROPERTY. AND AS
MUCH WORK AS WE'VE DONE IN THE
STATE THERE STILL ARE CITIES
AND IT IS CITY BY CITY I KNOW
IN YOUR AREA. THEY ARE MUCH
SWIFTER AS YOU ALL EVEN HAVE A
SHELF READY PLANS WHICH- WE
WOULD LIKE TO GET TO THAT. BUT
IT DEPENDS ON THE CITY. BUT AS
FAR AS THE BY RIGHT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT AUTHORIZING. BUT
IT STILL REMAINS WITH THE
SELLER IN NO WAY ARE WE
SUGGESTING THAT THE CITY COME
IN. TO EACH DEVELOPMENT OR
SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND SAY YOU
HAVE TO BUILD A NAY D. YOU. OR
YOU MAY NOT ONLY HAVE TO BUILD
A DO YOU. BUT IN ADDITION YOU
HAVE TO CONVEY THAT TO. A NON
PROFIT SO THIS IS AN EXTRA TOOL
IN THE TOOL KIT. AND THE MAIN
REASON THAT WE'RE FOCUSED ON
DOING THIS IS TO MOVE FORWARD
WITH THOSE THAT CHOOSE TO BE
ABLE TO. REDUCE THE LENGTH OF
TIME THAT IT'S TAKING TO BE
READY TO I MEAN WE CAN'T HAVE
EACH CITY AS WAS NOTED- LOOK AT
THE END OF. AND VOTE ON AN
ORDINANCE OR NOT. AND WE KNOW
THAT THOSE CAN TAKE YEARS AND
SOMETIMES A NEVER HAD.
SERIOUSLY IF THEY CANNOT BUT-
EACH CITY IS DIFFERENT BUT THAT
THAT'S OUR FOCUS ON THAT.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BLOOM. THANK
YOU FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
FORWARD- I- WANT TO MAKE
CERTAIN THAT- AND I APPRECIATE
THE INTERCHANGE BETWEEN TWO IN
MY COLLEAGUES I WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT- THE- THAT. THAT WE
UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS BILL IS
ACTUALLY DOING BECAUSE I DON'T
UNDERSTAND THIS IS A BILL THAT
AFFECTS SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE
ZONING. BOB WHAT IT DOES ALL
THAT THAT THAT WE HAVE A THIS
IS A VERY CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC
BECAUSE WE HAVE OTHER.
LEGISLATION PENDING IN THE
LEGISLATURE THAT ALLOWS FOR.
LOT SPLITS AND DUPLEXES TO BE
BUILT AND A DUPLEX IS NOT A
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE WHAT
THIS DOES IS IT ALLOWS. A LOT
SPLIT. AND FOR THERE TO BE TO
SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES. WHICH
TO MY MIND IS VERY DIFFERENT-
AND IS VERY COMPATIBLE WITH
THE- EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS
THAT THE LOTS WOULD BE SMALLER
AND IT INCREASES THE DENSITY OF
A- VERY. MARGINAL WAY I DON'T
SEE THIS. TAKING OVER ENTIRE
NEIGHBORHOODS OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT IS NOT INTENDED TO DO THAT
IT'S INTENDED TO PROVIDE-
NONPROFITS THAT- SERVE LOW
INCOME CONSTITUENCIES. AND AN
OPTION FOR CREATING SOME
ADDITIONAL AFFORDABILITY AND
CURRENTLY ON AFFORDABLE
NEIGHBORHOODS WHICH IS MOST
NEIGHBORHOODS- UNFORTUNATELY-
BUT I DO WANT TO UNDERSTAND A
LITTLE BIT BETTER- AND
STRUCTURALLY HOW THIS WORKS IS
THE- IS THE INTENT. HERE THAT.
NONPROFITS WILL PURCHASE AN
ENTIRE PROPERTY AND- AND THEN
DO A LOT SPLIT- OR IS THE
INTENT FOR THE NONPROFIT TO
WORK WITH AN EXISTING HOMEOWNER
TO DO A LOT SPLIT AND THEN. THE
LATTER THE LETTER AS FAR AS
WORKING WITH EXISTING HOMEOWNER
SITE GO AHEAD SO MY QUESTION IS
IN THAT SITUATION- HOW IS THE
VALUE OF THE- EIGHTY YOU PART
OF A OF THE LOT- HOW IS THAT
VALUE DETERMINED BECAUSE IF
IT'S BEING- IF IT'S BECOMING. A
GOT LOW INCOME HOUSING. IT
SEEMS TO ME THAT THE OWNER OF-
WHO'S SELLING OFF THE- THAT THE
SPLIT PART OF A LOT IS NOT
GOING TO RECEIVE FAIR MARKET I
DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DETERMINE
FOR MARKET VALUE I GUESS. I
THINK THAT. HOME OWNERS DON'T
GET SHORT CHANGED IN THE
PROCESS. RIGHT AND I THINK IT
IS THE CHOICE OF THE OWNER AND
THE SENSE THAT THEY WOULD
UNDERSTAND THAT THEY IN ESSENCE
ARE- WORKING WITH HABITAT WHICH
FOCUSES ON- INDIVIDUALS. WHO
ARE. IN THE- LOW TO VERY LOW.
INCOME BRACKET ã BRACKET AND
SO THIS WOULD BE AN COULD SEEN
BE SEEN AS A WAY TO HELP SAYS A
SUBSIDIZED. THIS PROPERTY SO
THAT SOMEBODY COULD GET INTO A
PIECE OF PROPERTY. THAT
WOULDN'T TYPICALLY BE ABLE TO-
THE HABITAT PROPERTIES. THAT
ARE NOT INVOLVED WITH THEY DO
USE AS YOU KNOW IN MANY CITIES.
IT'S USUALLY THE CITY AS A
PARTNER- THAT IS WORKING
TOGETHER WITH HABITAT AND MANY
pACTUALLY GIVEN AND THAT ALLOWS
THIS PARTNERSHIP TO TAKE PLACE-
BUT AS FAR AS THE TECHNICAL
DETAILS I DON'T HAVE THOSE WITH
ME. AND FRENEMY BUT THE ENTIRE
IDEA IS THAT YOU HAVE A LOT.
YOU'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH
HABITAT. TO GET IN. EXTREMELY
LOW TO LOW INCOME PERSON TO
TAKE THAT PROPERTY. AND TO
CONVEY IT THROUGH THE NONPROFIT
SO I'M SUFFICIENTLY SATISFIED
TO OF THAT THE BILL'S GOING IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF VOTE FOR
TODAY AND YOUR SPONSORS ARE
LISTENING AND KNOW HOW TO REACH
ME AND I. JUST ASKED THEM TO-
SET UP A MEETING WITH ME SO I
CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND AND-
PERHAPS EVEN HELP ACROSS SOME
OF THE LANGUAGE OF THE BILL.
THANK YOUNG ONE WHO'S BEEN
