SCNA Monthly Board of Directors Meeting Thursday 2/21

2/18/2019

0 Comments

 
The Southern Crossing Neighborhood Association's monthly Board of Directors meeting will be this Thursday, February 21 from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M.
 
This meeting will be held upstairs at Market of Choice, 115 NW Sisemore St, Bend.

The primary purpose of this meeting will be to transition from the previous Board of Directors to the new Board, elected during the Annual General Membership Meeting held on 2/7/19.

The New Board of Directors (BOD) are:
Chair: Rose Blackburn
Vice-chair/Land Use Coordinator: Deby DeWeese
Secretary: None elected on 2/7. Currently vacant.
Treasurer: Aaron Jones.
Outreach & Communications Coordinator: None elected on 2/7. Currently vacant.
Event Coordinator: Valerie Pharr. 
Program Coordinator: Keith Pharr. 



Additionally 4 individuals were elected to serve as Members-at-Large (MAL):
Karen Bergsvik, Marjorie Meret-Carmen, Kent Pressman and Keith Scott. 
(Member(s)-at-Large do not have a specific list of duties. Rather they serve the board's strategic needs as determined by the Chair at any given time. Members-at-Large may have various projects--short or long-term--during their elected term. Any SCNA member is eligible to become a Member-at-Large. MALs do not have voting rights at Board of Director meetings.)

A note from your new Chair:
I look forward to serving the community of Southern Crossing and working with this amazing group of community members who are as dedicated as I am to maintaining the Bend way of life and enhancing livability in this neighborhood. I would also like to thank Jake Slodki and Jim Larson who are stepping down from the board this year for all the hard work they have put in serving this NA. I especially want to thank Valerie K. Pharr who has successfully chaired this association for the last two years and served as Communications/Outreach & Events Coordinator. Her desire to serve this community is obvious and highly commendable as Valerie is staying on as Events Coordinator. She is also SCNA’s liaison on the Neighborhood Leadership Alliance committee. Thank you, Valerie.
 
I look forward to meeting many of you over this next year at meetings and out about in the neighborhood.
 
Sincerely,

City of Bend Hosting Affordable Housing Open House

2/18/2019

0 Comments

 
The City of Bend is hosting an affordable housing open house from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019, in Council Chambers at City Hall (710 NW Wall St., Bend, OR).

The open house will provide information about the Consolidated Plan, the City’s five-year plan outlining funding priorities for affordable housing and community development programs. It provides community members the opportunity to give input on housing and community development needs and priorities. 

Input from the open house will help prioritize needs and be incorporated into a draft Consolidated Plan that will be discussed at the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee meetings in March and April of 2019. The final draft is expected to be recommended to City Council with a public hearing in May of 2019.

Developing a Consolidated Plan is a six-month process. It includes a survey, public engagement opportunities at Affordable Housing Advisory Committee meetings and community open houses. 

Developing a Consolidated Plan is required by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and regulations under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The plan establishes goals and funding parameters for the Community Development Block Grant program over a five-year timeframe.
​
Affordable housing was identified as a top concern for Bend residents in a statistically valid community survey conducted this fall. Increasing affordable housing options is a goal of the City Council and will likely continue to be a top priority for Council in the 2019-2021 biennium.
