Six were regular meetings and three were special Competitive Process-related meetings. One funding cycle was conducted in the spring. The Commission held three evening meetings during the spring cycle to discuss the merits of the housing and human service grant proposals, and to determine funding recommendations to Council. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, several meetings were cancelled or postponed, and the Commission was unable to meet directly with the Affordable Housing Board. During the regular meetings, the Commission reviewed the funding process and discussed the status of some grantees. Learning Series presentations were hosted in 2020 and included visits from City staff regarding the City’s affordable housing priorities and the new Housing Strategic Plan, as well as a presentation from the Director of the Poudre School District Department of Language, Culture and Equity. Some Commission members also participated in the ‘Reimagining Boards & Commissions’ spring meeting hosted by the City Manager’s Office. The Commission provided recommendations to City Council as to the allocation of the City’s FY20 CDBG and HOME entitlement grants, CDBG and HOME program income, AHF, HSP and KFCG funds. Funding requests were greater than available dollars so not all proposals submitted were funded.
