(District 1)
Okay. Item 18. I know that staff is asked to do a brief staff report at a meeting. I am. Sorry. I'm sorry. Item 18 is a report from Development Services. Recommendation to adopt resolutions authorizing the submissions of an application to the California State Department of Housing and Community Development for up to 17.7 million in loan and grant funds available through the Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities Program, District one. Anybody. Mr. Mayor. Members of the City Council. Thank you for indulging me in this staff report. In essence, this is a really good thing. And I do want to recognize century housing that has been sitting in the audience all night. This is for a proposed project at the corner of Anaheim and Long Beach Boulevard and would represent the second phase of a major senior development project. Century is proposing a two building project that would include 121 senior housing units and 39 units for transitional veterans. Again, at the intersection of Long Beach Boulevard and Anaheim. The city's housing Long Beach Community Investment Company awarded century housing a grant or a loan in the amount of $12 million back in the fall. And the planning commission entitled This Project just in April of this Year Century is applying for cap and trade funds through the state . It requires city participation and a joint application, and that's what this staff report requests. I'm available to answer any questions as is representatives from Century Housing and Brian Deandra. I do want to again state in summary that this is an excellent project and we do ask for your support. Thank you. Thank you. There's a motion in a second. Is there any public comment on this item? I do. Signal. Okay. Councilman Gonzales. Thank you, Mr. Mayor. I just want to say thank you very much for staying committed to this, because I know this has been a real hole in the major corridor that is Anaheim and Long Beach Boulevard and Century Housing. I know we've talked and you all come up with such an amazing development and plans and I'm very excited and thrilled that we're able to offer this to many seniors, as well as veterans as we've talked about homelessness, as we've talked about very low income demographics. I think this is just perfect for that area, especially with the synergy. Michelle Melina's moved in and we have next door the wonderful metta project that you're also involved with. So thank you again for all the work and we look forward to it. Please cast your vote. Motion carries. Thank you. And extended please, I believe is 2018. We did 19. I don't think we did 21. 2020. I'm sorry. 20, 21, 22, 23, 23.
