2:16:44Thank you. I'm

2:16:44Michael Raposa. I'm the CEO with Vincentian Housing Corporation. Uh-huh. Uh 384 15th Street, St. Pete.

2:16:52Michael, I your company does a phenomenal job. It's a phenomenal project that's going on. I just want to ask a question. I uh at my Rotary Club this past week we had a presentation done by one of you gentlemen did a phenomenal job, told us a great story and really got everybody energized about how great this project is. I just want to ask one question if it's done or it's not. I didn't even ask because just didn't ask the question, but I'll ask you. When you're picking your residents and I know you're a regional group Are you gonna focus on Pasco residents first or is it just to first come, first serve,

2:17:22however it goes?

2:17:23So fair housing standard does not allow us to do any type of regional criteria. It's there's an application process. Now we advertise it here locally. Yeah. Um and then of course when the applications are made they have to meet the criteria and then we have to qualify them in the order that we're there. tell you in the other 60 units that are co would be co-located on this might would be project or were all none of them came from any other place to live there. Okay. They were all local. And

2:17:53all of the neighbors have since applied to live on the the units that are already developed because they're beautiful.

2:18:00Yes

2:18:00and you're doing a phenomenal job so that's um the only um thing that if I could I the numbers that the staff Had I'm not quite certain because the county had recommended to us, your staff had recommended to us that we really try to focus on one ones, one one bedroom, one baths, and and primarily for homeless individuals. And I think the one one reconfiguration might get us to thirty-four, thirty-six or something like that. It's not a major substance, but um we are we are uh we have received the first piece of the puzzle. funded

2:18:31to do one bedroom, one bath 'cause that's your that's the demand right now.

2:18:36Uh we need and we need them desperately. So glad to see these coming up.

2:18:39Yeah, Madam Chairman Mari since we need to receive a big presentation and I was never um updated on this or briefed on it, I'm gonna make an assumption from what I'm hearing is that this isn't our normal

2:18:52No.

2:18:53Multifamily apartment complex. Is it is this like one story affordable housing in a inside of a

2:18:57neighborhood? So this would be exactly like Ozinum Village Phase Three, which is the right-of-way. So uh on the back piece of the property it looks from the outside looking in, it looks very much like a residence in by Marriott. It's a three story building um with the amenities on the first floor. There's amenities in the center of each floor and then there's apartments on each floor with an elevator connecting each floor.

2:19:21This is an extension of the current project that's already there.

2:19:25That's correct. So Florida housing is adding a base. That's correct. Okay.

2:19:29That'd be good to give a tour.

2:19:31We would we would love to give tours. I'd love to give tours.

2:19:35Yeah, I I I've not I didn't make it when you had one, so I'd I'd love to come to the right-of-way.

2:19:39So this is revitalization for that area.

2:19:42This is helping our homeless population.
