It's been moved and seconded to amend Attachment one by substituting it for version two. Customer Mosqueda Please feel free to address the substitute version. Thank you very much, Madam President. Council colleagues. Digital Recall. Last Monday, we held a public hearing on the bill. A draft of this plan, based on our best estimates for how much funding we would receive in the 2020 adopted budget was heard in the Finance and Neighborhoods Committee in December of 2019. The amended version in front of you now reflects that we received notice of the actual grant amounts, so council has put forward the adopted version for your consideration. This includes the final plan for submittal to the Federal Housing and Urban Development, or HUD Department. One small technical piece that is included in this amended version is that the plan that was originally transmitted has been updated by the executive. We have the proposed substitute in front of us for consideration, which reflects the latest information on the grants and the projects they support. This plan includes $25 million worth of funds to support people in Seattle, including 3.4 million to provide emergency shelter operations and case management to move people into permanent housing. 7.8 million to provide housing for persons living with AIDS and their families. 1 million to improve fire safety and the housing authority. And 6.4 million for affordable housing preservation and deployment. 2.8 million for small business stabilization. While most of these funds were included in the 2020 budget, this plan reflects that we've received more grant funding than expected . These funds were added to the Affordable Housing Program and the Small Business Stabilization Program Stabilization Fund. I appreciate the Council's participation in the public hearing last week, and the amended version in front of you reflects these changes that I just described. Okay. Thank you so much. Councilmember Mesquite. It looks like we have a question or comment from considerable, please. Thank you. A comment. I just really want to extend my thanks to the bill's sponsor, Catherine Mosqueda, as well as the Office of Housing for including additional funds, $1.8 million in funds for capital financing related to the rehabilitation of 34 units of affordable rental housing for low income households in the neighborhood. This is housing that is owned and operated by DDA, and that's a neighborhood development association.
