Sir, we have a quorum.

Excellent.

First item on the agenda is approval of the minutes.

Are there any corrections to the minutes?

And can I get a motion and a second to approve?

Motion and second.

Motion and a second.

All in favor say aye.

Aye.

All opposed.

Motion carries.

Public comment, Madam Clerk.

Are there any citizens sign up to speak for public comment?

Excellent.

Before we get into the agenda, what we'll do is we'll have the staff present both one right after another and we'll entertain questions for both since they're pretty related.

And before we begin, I do want to give a shout out.

I have uh three interns joining us today.

If you all want to stand up in the back for our D4 interns, so I know we have a lot of interns over here at City Hall, and all the conference rooms are booked, and I'm glad they get to see their first PCDC meeting.

Uh, all of some good topics.

So with that, we'll begin on item number two.

Veronica's going to do the presentation.

Thank you.

There we go.

Good morning, I'm Veronica Garcia.

I'm the director for the neighborhood and housing services department.

Um, I'll acknowledge we also have a summer ambassador here in the audience.

Yay.

So lots of lots of future leaders in the room.

Uh well, it's a great topic to talk about our strategic housing implementation plan refresh.

For the past year, we've been engaging with the community in conversation about housing affordability through many channels.

Um, this summer we've had conversations about the Affordable Housing Bond as well as the SHIP Refresh and our federal funding grants.

We've had conversations this past winter with our special housing supply task force work, and we've had our ongoing public information campaign.

All of that is guiding two important efforts we are briefing you on today our strategic housing implementation plan refresh and our HUD Consolidated Plan.

Today I'm joined by our ship partners, including Opportunity Michael Reyes from Opportunity Home San Antonio and Pete Alanis with the San Antonio Housing Trust and uh Mark Carmona is also here with the housing services and strategy department, as well as our consultant David Schwartz.

Uh David has supported our work on the ship and the housing policy framework since 2017, working closely with our team and our stakeholders to develop these efforts.

This slide shows how our two planning efforts are working together as leaders on the planning community development committee.

You all are very familiar with the ship, but for community members who may not know, the ship is a plan to create and preserve over 28,000 homes through 2031.

The city, the county, opportunity home, and San Antonio Housing Trust are all partners in implementing this plan.

Council adopted the ship at the very end of 2022, which means we've just started the fifth year of implementation.

The SHIP helps guide our work across many funding sources, including the general fund, the affordable housing fund, and of course our federal head grants, and it's very important that we're ensuring that our planning efforts are fully aligned along the way.

From the beginning, the ship has been a living document.

Now at our halfway point implementation, the ship partners are using this moment to ensure our goals still align with community need and our existing resources.

This refresh effort is not a rewrite.

Instead, it's an opportunity to incorporate what we've learned from the special housing supply task force from community conversations, stakeholders, as well as homeless strategy strategy and services department's shelter and housing plan.

In 2020 and 2021, when we were drafting the ship and our current consolidated plan, we were facing significant supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic, as well as uncertain federal funding, and the housing bond was not yet established.

Four years later, we have experience navigating these issues and have learned a lot along the way.

As of March of 2026, so four and a half year point of the plan, we're at 41% of the way to our ship goal.

However, our goal is really several individual goals for renters and homeowners, including across production and preservation.

So while the overall goal is on track, we really get more of the story when we deep dive into some of the individual metrics.

This chart shows our progress across four categories.

And when we look at this, some trends become clear.
