Interoffice Memo To: Michael Gerber, President and CEO From: Catherine Crago, Strategic Initiatives and Resource Development Sylvia Blanco, Executive Vice President Subject: Austin Pathways Report for July, 2018 Date: August 7, 2018 On July 13, 36 HACA residents were awarded Austin Pathways HACA Scholarships totaling $60,100 thanks to generous donations of the community, corporate sponsors, and with support from Southwest Housing Compliance Corporation and Austin Affordable Housing Corporation. Thanks to the City of Austin PC Community Loan program and the efforts of Austin Community College IT intern team members, HACA Scholars were provided with refurbished laptops to use during the school year. HUD officials joined the event as special guests. The event was held at the Asian American Resource Center. HACA Scholars were the focal point of a VIP Reception preceding the ceremony -- public and local non-profit leaders and corporate sponsors enjoyed getting to know HACA scholars studying
nursing, biomedical, civil and electrical engineering, agriculture, theater, occupational therapy, social work, and business. Here, representatives from several corporate sponsors
chat with our VIP’s - HACA Scholars. HACA President & CEO Mike Gerber welcomed scholars and their families, while representatives from annual title sponsor Capstone Title congratulated scholars. City of Austin Digital Inclusion program manager John Speirs read the Mayor’s Proclamation.

Award-winning musician Saul Paul inspired as he performed, then shared about his journey to UT Austin on a full scholarship. After two semesters he flunked out, went to streets and ultimately the State Penitentiary for two years. Saul Paul was readmitted to UT Austin, where he graduated at the top of his class in 2002. HACA Scholar Keynote Sayuri Byrd, mother of two boys and with a daughter on the way, shared about the challenges she’d overcome to achieve her educational goals. Sayuri’s motto is, “Keep Calm, God has your back. Sayuri, who plans to start an event planning business when she graduates, believes that life is a canvas. “Create your own masterpiece and create something great,” she says. Byrd, who was featured in a CBS Making a Difference episode July 6, studies business at Huston-Tilottson.
Above, right to left, a HACA Scholar receives her scholarship award from HACA EVP Sylvia Blanco and HACA Board Commissioner Tyra Duncan-Hall. Just over one-half of Scholars attend Austin Community College; almost 50 percent attend universities, including: University of Texas at Austin, Huston-Tilottson, National American University, Sam Houston, Texas A&M, Texas State University, Southwestern University, University of Texas El Paso, University of Texas San Antonio and Western Governors University. HACA Residents Keep City Labs Up and Running. On July 31 four HACA residents completed hourly rate contract assignments with the City of Austin Community Technology Centers. HACA Lab Monitors earned $500-1,100 helping City of Austin computer lab users and performing IT work, including reimaging computers for City of Austin labs at the DeWitty Center. Austin Community College intern team members provided coaching and support to the Lab Monitors, who exceeded customer expectations.

“I’m really shy. Now that I’ve been an Apprentice, I’m more open. I sit down with people, I open up to make them comfortable. This program has done a lot for me. I was so isolated. Now I’m involved in the community. Being in the computer lab… clients need attention, you have to be open to explain to them how to work with computers. HACA has helped me a lot. I even had the confidence to speak at City Hall.” - HACA Lab Apprentice
Also at the end of the month 12 HACA Lab Apprentices completed their assignments working in HACA computer labs. Several Apprentices are pursuing IT-related career opportunities. In July, the team attended weekly professional development workshops, culminating in a four-hour training at Microsoft. In August, the group will produce a report highlighting their professional and personal achievements serving HACA residents, and providing recommendations for future program work. IT Intern Team Brings Digital Opportunity Home. HACA’s Work Study Internship with Austin Community College has enabled 60+ Information Technology students to serve in 70+ positions since Summer, 2016.

Summary Need
Replicability
Innovation
Change can be scary, but it is sometimes necessary for innovation. Signi�cant physical housing improvements can call for residents to temporarily relocate. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) allows housing authorities to modernize aging properties, resulting in improved resident quality of life.
The Housing Authority of the City of Austin (HACA) created a Resident Protection Team (RPT) to help mitigate residents’ uneasiness during RAD. The RPT’s mission is to ease challenges presented when moving, promote community engagement, and develop external partnerships to help HACA better serve residents. As a result, residents are engaged and feel empowered as HACA proceeds with RAD.
Utility transfer fees waived by RPT member, Austin Energy.$230
of RAD residents have signed new required leases and initial certi�cations at lease signing parties.
HACA saved money by relocating families to temporary housing at other HACA properties instead of hotels.
Residents now have the opportunity to live in a modern-ized home, many with washer/dryers, dishwashers, and garbage disposals. All HACA remodels have central air.Residents accessibility needs, changes in family size, support networks, and relationships with long-term neighbors were all taken into account when temporarily relocating residents.
100%
Over 50 residents successfully lobbied Texas’ HFA to award tax credits in support of RAD.
Children did not have to change schools due to RAD relocation. School District, RPT member transfered kids to their schools.
50
The objective of the RPT is to advocate for HACA families during the complex RAD process and to ensure all resident individual needs are well understood and met. The RPT develops and implements a holistic plan that fosters open communication between HACA sta� and residents, and ensures all residents return to their original property. Relocation of households also provides an opportunity for services to be established in homes that previously lacked them. The RPT is also responsible for empowering and engaging residents throughout RAD.
Designating one person within the organization to manage the RPT has proven to be an essential component building trust and keeping clients’ best interest in the center of all RAD decisions. However, not every public housing agency must hire a new person to �ll this role. RPT duties may be added to an existing community development position, such as a FSS or ROSS specialist.
HACA also plans to diversify �nancial resources by engaging support from corporations, foundations and governmental entities by sharing the bene�t of this type of program. Sustainability of the program is also strengthened by external partners (e.g., Communities In Schools, Meals on Wheels, AISD, City of Austin, Boys & Girls Clubs, Integral Care) who are part of the RPT and have a shared mission to serve and improve the lives of low-income residents and strengthen self-su�ciency to combat poverty. Partners meet at least monthly to brainstorm and o�er solutions.
RPT is unique because residents and sta� are encouraged to ask hard questions about RAD. HACA contracted with a local, well-known advocate for low-income persons’ rights. This Community Advocate operates with autonomy and receives a stipend to challenge HACA policies when RAD is not resident friendly. Other unique aspects include hiring a full-time Resident Protection Project Manager and ensuring resident supportive services are available and e�ective during RAD implementation.

Thank You Housing Authority of The City of Austin!
Before my internship at HACA, I did not fully understand the value and impact that HACA has on its residents, employees, and the Austin community. I am so thankful that I got to learn more about the Housing Authority of the City of Austin, and what it would be like to work at a nonprofit.
I have gotten to experience what it would be like to work in an in-house agency, and through that I have gotten to dip into in various marketing, design, and photography duties.
I learned how to write for a specific audience, and saw how blogs are written and published. Through this I believe that I will come out of my internship as a much better writer! I also was given the opportunity to practice and expand my Adobe After Effects skills by creating HCV Section 8 videos for the waitlist social media campaign.
I have truly looked forward to the days I came into work, and I am so happy that I was given the opportunity to be Beth’s communications intern!
Thank You HACA!

Community Development Report for July 2018
Featuring: Grants
* Community Development reports will now feature one program area per month (youth, workforce development, health and wellness and grants). This will be on a repeating cycle so that each program area is reported on once per quarter/ four times annually. Due to varying partner reporting and contract dates, some data may reflect services provided during the previous month or two months prior. This report
provides information on services delivered May, June and July 2018 (as noted). Grants Management update: The HACA Grants Manager resigned at the beginning of 2018. HACA has secured Independent Contractor and former Grants Manager, Justin Breaux of Wordvine Consulting to assist with grant activities while a search is conducted for a new Grant Manager. Justin recently renewed the City Wide Advisory Boards SAM registration and assisted with the Mainstream Voucher grant application in addition to the activities described below: Awarded Grants The Texas Department of Family Services, Prevention and Intervention Program awarded HACA $102,000 to deliver its i-DADS program over a 16-month period, beginning May 1, 2018. i-DADS aims to provide tools for good parenting and mentorship to fathers who may have been absent from the lives of their children living in HACA communities. i-DADS classes focus on healthy relationships, learning how to manage anger, identifying and making positive choices, developing self-esteem and confidence, and being a good role model for children among other topics. The Texas DFPS Prevention and Early Intervention Program responsibilities include:
• Developing services with Texas communities to prevent child abuse and neglect, juvenile delinquency, runaway youth, and truancy.
• Developing and efficiently managing the delivery of these services. • Monitoring contract performance to make sure services are delivered.
Under this new funding agreement, the i-DADS program will report outcomes to the state regarding the education of fathers through the implementation of the 24/7 Dads curriculum and the safety of their children living at HACA properties. Overall the goal is to serve 45 fathers during fiscal year 2018 (partial year) and 75 fathers during fiscal year 2019. HACA will also pilot child-watch services during FY 2018 to see if this will increase program accessibility for single fathers. Texas Capital Bank awarded Austin Pathways $10,000 to provide financial literacy training and education to HACA clients participating Jobs Plus and/or receiving scholarship assistance. Pending Grants HACA collaborated with Dell Medical School, Austin Public Health Department and People Community Clinics to submit a grant application for The Center for Disease Control’s Reach grant. This grant is to provide health and wellness interventions to address the health needs of under-served minority residents. HACA submitted its Plus 1 Program application to the Austin Energy on August 3rd. The Plus 1 Program offers eligible HACA clients -- including the disabled/elderly and FSS, ROSS, and Jobs Plus participants -- direct utility assistance. Declined Grants HACA participated in the Community Thrives Challenge, which was a national competition hosted by the Rockefeller and Chan Zuckerberg Foundations. Austin Pathways proposed expanding Jobs Plus Program to seven additional properties. In Process: HACA is working on a grant application to the Anderson Foundation for a second year of funding to support a “floating” service coordinator to work with senior and disabled residents living at HACA family properties.

Homeownership
Downpayment Assistance Program: AAHC has a total of 105 homeowners assisted through this program (two through Equity CLT). We are working with one client purchasing a new construction home the second quarter of 2018. Phone calls have picked up with interest in the program. Currently we are marketing the program in direct mailings to Public Housing tenants and through the ROSS and Section 8 and Public Housing FSS Coordinators.
Six-Star Program: We currently have one resident at Sterling Village Apartments and three residents in Lexington Hills. These were over income families in the first phase of RAD. We are working on an exception to move one additional over-income resident into Sweetwater. We moved one resident into Leisure Time Village that is relocating in connection with RAD. We continue to work with Public Housing to place their over-income residents that are part of the RAD program. We have had additional interest, but no additional applications have met the requirements of the program.
Financial Literacy: We continue to work with Frameworks CDC to offer Pre-purchase Homebuyer Education classes. There has been an increase in participation in the Pre-purchase Homebuyer Education classes. Classes are filling two months in advance. We are currently partnering with Foundation Communities, Frameworks CDC, Cornerstone Financial, FLCCT and Habitat for Humanity to provide credit counseling where needed.
Community Land Trust: Our second CLT home sold in July 2016, to a family at Booker T. Washington. We will look into increasing our inventory at this point.
