A. Continuum of Care Updates
Liddy Bargar, HSC Director of Housing Initiatives staffs the Tompkins County (TC)
Continuum of Care (CoC). Nels Bohn, IURA Director of Community Development,
co-chairs the TC CoC with Cindy Wilcox, HSC Executive Director. She joined to
discuss developments in the CoC landscape following HUD’s policy changes.
1

[PAGE 3]
The TC CoC is a local community planning network of public, private, and non-
profit partners with the mission of making homelessness rare, brief, and one-
time in Tompkins County. CoCs exist across the nation to build and maintain
homeless response systems. CoCs collect data for reporting to HUD. Progress
toward CoC goals are called System Performance Measures (SPMs). Ms.
Bargar’s presentation included local SPMs. Her presentation deck is included at
the end of these Minutes.
Examples of local SPMs: Measure 1: Length of homelessness in TC has increased
20% since 2022 but has decreased 16% since 2023. Measure 5: First-time
homelessness has decreased 12% since 2022.
CoCs apply for funding from HUD by responding to its Notice of Funding
Opportunity(s) (NOFO). Each NOFO names the priorities for that funding cycle.
It is a competitive process. In 2024, Congress directed HUD to issue a NOFO that
would fund two years of programming because responding to the NOFO is a
large undertaking for CoCs. Awards for the 2024 NOFO competition were
announced with TC CoC doing very well in the 2024 NOFO-- all aspects of its
proposal(s) were funded. This achievement reflects the work being done in the
community.
In July 2025, HUD revoked the prior announcement and notified CoCs that a
different NOFO would be issued that reflected the current Administration’s
policies. The new NOFO, with new priorities and a new tiering system was
announced in November 2025. Only 30% of projects can be Permanent
Supportive Housing (PSH). In TC, 88% of the projects are PSH, a reduction of 53%
locally. Under new priorities, (older) models like transitional housing or support
services-only were what CoCs could apply for. Nonprofits and twenty-one
states’ attorneys general have undertaken lawsuits enjoining the NOFO
revocation/reissuance. Currently, the re-issued competition is paused while the
lawsuit is in progress. Locally, the Administration’s proposed changes to the
HUD NOFO would impact the following groups the most: current residents of
PSH; youth under age 25; people with disabilities; staff working in housing.
Baker asked (~21:50) how “disabilities” are being defined and how it affects
people, especially those under 25. Bargar responded that historically the
definition has included mental, behavioral (substance use disorder – SUD), and
physical disabilities, HIV+/AIDS, and some other conditions. One of the major
changes of the NOFO is how the definition of “disability” was changed – now
includes only people over 62 and not necessarily the above. Bargar’s
presentation includes a slide showing disability status of individuals in
emergency shelter—mental health disorders (35%) and SYD (22%) are the most
prevalent. Bargar also noted (~30:40) that data show when individuals
experienced repeated episodes of homelessness, the severity/number of their
2

[PAGE 4]
disabilities increased. Developmental disabilities are likely to be
underreported—there is an opportunity here to do better. Baker concurred that
early diagnosis is key. If a disability is not noticed early, it is harder (and less
likely) to be diagnosed and treated later. Services, where they exist, are hard to
get (even with diagnosis). Poor outcomes for the individual, such as eventual
homelessness beginning in youth, are not unlikely.
[According to CoC analysis, HUD’s proposed changes would result in 60 lost PSH
beds at such sites as Chartwell, Magnolia House, Amici House, SJCS permanent
housing, and others.]
B. Adjustments to 2025 Project #15 “Work Preserve: Job Readiness” (~58.25)
Mendizabal shared updated information from Historic Ithaca (HI) about its Work
Preserve (WP): Job Readiness program. HI asked for and received an extension
in submitting its Commitment paperwork [see below for background on what
Commitment Materials are] for accepting 2025 CDBG funding for its Readiness
program while its Board and Executive Director worked through details. It was
received on December31, 2025.
Background: What Commitment Materials (paperwork) Are: A letter to
AAP grantee saying that IURA has committed x amount of funding, and
asking the grantee to confirm that it wants the funding and agrees to
serve the number of beneficiaries they have indicated (along with brief
project description). The letter requests a variety of other pieces of
information essential for creating the contract: a resolution from the
grantee’s board accepting the information (to confirm the board is aware
of the commitment), documentation of insurance coverage, an updated
project budget (“Uses & Sources”), contact information who the grantee
wants to review the contract, and some other things. Some of the items
are relatively easy for the grantee to send, others may be more difficult.
For example, the grantee’s board may not meet monthly. If they don’t,
the grantee may need more time for the resolution. IURA needs the
materials back within about 45-60 days in order to develop contract.
The 2025 HI Work Preserve applications (Job Placement, now cancelled, and Job
Readiness) were prepared by HI Staff that are no longer with the agency.
Executive Director Zach Lifton submitted a new program summary along with
“right-sized” program outline to serve up to 15 students annually with job
readiness only. However, with the reprogrammed funds from last month [$3,00
for HI WP: Job Readiness], the beneficiary number will need to be 15 at
minimum.
3

[PAGE 5]
Graham noted the new program description still includes exposure to jobs in the
field. How that looks now would be a good question to ask if they bring forward
a 2026 application, Mendizabal noted.
HI has recently formed a partnership with New Roots in addition to working with
BOCES, which helps them reach youth, albeit – as noted by Committee
Members—both of those educational institutions serve young people who are
not necessarily City Residents. Williams and Baker wondered how HI would
reach City residents. Mendizabal indicated this needs to be underlined. They
are required to serve a majority – 51% -- City residents and they need to be LMI.
C. Update – Common Council Legislative Policies
Included in the packet was a summary of the Common Council committee
structure, as they exist now—these do not include the new Council members
yet. This is for informational purposes only, showing the areas community
development that Council is involved in—apart from IURA, but of potential
interest to this Committee.
De Aragon noted that the County’s structured approach to including department
heads in meetings of committees of the County Legislature – there was
alignment between a department’s funded activities and the committees they
reported to— which he found very effective. Mendizabal said there were
similarities and differences in the City’s version. Yes, there are Common
Councilmember liaisons to agencies/departments like IURA. On the staff side,
staff members must bring forward information to the Council if there is an
advisory committee for the topic being discussed. The City’s process does not
seem as structured as the County’s, de Aragon observed. Baker said she’s
experienced a lack of communication between departments, particularly relating
to actions/activities planned by one that affects the other. Graham noted that
NIC could invite the new Common Council liaison to IURA to the NIC meeting to
discuss ideas for improving communication.
VI. Other Business
A. IURA Grants Summary
The November 2025 grants summary was included in the packet and Mendizabal
provided the much-needed larger format version at Committee member places.
She said that going forward she would provide hard copies of the meeting
agenda and the large grant summary for everyone and asked that Committee
Members let her know if they want anything else printed for them to refer to.
Mendizabal reached out to projects that are moving slower, as part of
spenddown vigilance. FLRU reports being on schedule for expenditure of their
2024 funding; Mendizabal informed them they are free to voucher more often.
INHS Homeowner Rehab has been able to do two emergency boiler

[PAGE 6]
replacements this winter so far and has a third project in the pipeline—they are
doing a lot to try to close out their project. BHU may have a voucher underway;
BHU and The Village [fiscal sponsor] may have had a disconnect but the first
reimbursement was accomplished. Mendizabal didn’t hear back from DICC
about the status of the ADA doors, which is unusual. Work Preserve has been
covered in prior discussion.
After last night’s public hearing on the matter, Common Council adopted the
Substantial Amendments put forward in November 2025 for SSCC Fire Panel,
Cass Park, and INHS 215 Cleveland Ave, so Mendizabal will inform those
grantees.
[Discussed under Staff Report but relevant in this section.] The Cecil A. Malone
project is complete but has not submitted its voucher yet. They’ve conferred
with Bohn about cost documentation. Bohn is also in touch regularly with
Shared Kitchen Ithaca (SKI).
B. Staff Report
Mendizabal reported briefly on the following:
City Planner Sam Quinn-Jacobs has been working on a publicly available
dashboard that will show units of housing and affordable housing. Longtime
desire of both staff and residents!
IURA Accountant, Kim Cook, is taking a job at the County. IURA is seeking a
replacement.

In these two related cases, the Court by written order on December 23, 2025,
required Defendants to “inform recipients” within fourteen days of the order “of
any steps they must take in order for eligible renewals” under the FY2024-2025
HUD Continuum of Care Notice of Funding Opportunity “to be processed” and to
“promptly file a notice confirming such communications were made.” Order at 3,

anticipate revisions to that plan based on these conferrals. The parties have also
conferred regarding the substance of the forthcoming notice to recipients, and
Defendants will share a draft of that notice with Plaintiffs by noon today. To allow
Plaintiffs time to review that draft and for the parties to further confer over the
content and form of that notice, if necessary, the parties request that the Court
extend the time to inform recipients of the steps they must take for eligible
renewals to be processed to January 8, 2026. Good cause exists because such an

Ithaca, NY 14850
RE: Renewal of CHDO Certification
Dear Anisa,
Please find enclosed the application for renewal of the CHDO certification for Ithaca
Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. (INHS).
INHS is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to expanding housing opportunities for low- and
moderate-income residents of Cayuga, Chemung, Cortland, Schuyler, Seneca, Tioga, and
Tompkins Counties. It seeks to foster communities that embrace diversity, equity, and
sustainability in ways that produce lasting outcomes.
The organization has not changed its by-laws, IRS status, or Articles of Incorporation, and
therefore did not include them with the supporting documents.
If you have any questions about the application or require additional information, please contact
me directly.
Sincerely,
Lynn C. Truame
Director of Real Estate Development

Re: CHDO as a CBDO – INHS Designation
Date: February 9, 2026
I. CHDO Checklist
The Checklist below indicates the documentation that INHS has provided to evidence its
ability to act as a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO).
IURA Staff reviewed the documents and has determined they meet CHDO Standards.
1

[PAGE 40]
(continued on next page)

[PAGE 41]

[PAGE 42]
II. CHDO Board Composition Requirements
CHDO designation requires 33% of the applicant organization’s board members to meet one
of three qualifying criteria (discussed in depth in Section III, below). INHS’s amended by-
laws (2021) state that its Board is to be comprised of up to 15 members. There are
currently 11 INHS Board Members. For the purposes of calculation, we divide 100% by the
existing number of board members (11). Each member constitutes 9% of the Board.
To meet the 33% threshold of CHDO-qualified board members, INHS needs at least four (4)
members to be able to self-certify in one of the three CHDO board composition categories.
Seven (7) of INHS’s Board Members were identified as qualified in one of the categories. Of
the number, all seven (7) live in Ithaca/Tompkins County. IURA Staff verified that five (5) of
the INHS Board Members live in an LMI neighborhood inside of the City. (See further
explanation in Section III). These members constitute 45% of the board, exceeding the 33%
test. Another member who lives outside of Ithaca but inside of Tompkins County, meets
the “other Low-Income Community Resident” threshold. (The seventh member no longer
lives in an LMI neighborhood, according to HUD data). With six members qualifying, 54% of
the INHS Board qualifies.
III. CDBO vs. CHDO Board Composition Requirements
A. HUD’s Board Composition requirements for Community-Based Development
Organizations (CBDOs) and Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs)
are similar but not the same. Both types of designation require that the organization
serve an LMI community (-ies). Both require organizations to demonstrate that a
certain portion of their board has personal or professional ties to the community being
served-- for a CBDO, at least 51% of board members must qualify under the self-
certification standards whereas for a CHDO, at least 33% is required. The self-
certification criteria for the two designations have key differences, which are
summarized in the chart below.
CBDO Board Composition CHDO Board Composition
A - LMI Resident of Service Area [Individual] A - Resident of LMI1 Neighborhood2
B - Business Owner/Sr. Officer of Institution in B - Other Low-Income Community Member
Service Area
C - Representative of an LMI Neighborhood Org C - Elected3 Rep of LMI Neighborhood Assn
[requires election]
1 Note that in this category, the board member themself is not required to be LMI, only to reside in a majority-LMI
neighborhood.
2 If the CHDO serves a rural area, the “neighborhood” could be outside PJ or Tompkins County. The application needs to be
sure to obtain the Income Limits documentation appropriate each certifying board member’s residential neighborhood.
4

[PAGE 43]
B. Another difference between the two designations is that the service area for a CBDO is
generally contained within the Participating Jurisdiction, while HUD guidelines allow for
CHDOs to have a broader reach, especially if the CHDO serves a rural area. Therefore, a
rural CHDO may draw board members from a multi-county service area.
Under the HOME program, for urban areas, the term "community" is defined as one
or several neighborhoods, a city, county, or metropolitan area. For rural areas, "community"
is defined as one or several neighborhoods, a town, village, county, or multi-county area (but
not the whole state).
- CPD Notice 97-11: Guidance on CHDOs under the HOME Program (supersedes CPD Notice 94-02)
C. These factors have an implication for the IURA CHDO/CBDO Review Process.
1. IURA has had a practice of certifying our CHDO specifically for the PJ’s service area (City
of Ithaca).
2. IURA will continue to attempt to reach the certification threshold by analyzing the
qualifying criteria of board members whose self-certification involves Ithaca (the PJ).
a. If the threshold for certification is not met after analyzing Ithaca-centered board
members, qualifications of board members living outside the PJ will be analyzed.
b. The complexity of documenting and qualifying board members outside of the PJ
(and, next level, Tompkins County) contributes to IURA’s rationale for this
method.
i. Income Qualification: The City of Ithaca’s HUD Income Limits = Tompkins
County’s Income Limits (they are the same). INHS has board members
living outside of Tompkins County. They will need to provide proof they
qualify in their appropriate City/County.
ii. Link to HUD Income Limits:
https://www.huduser.gov/portal/datasets/il.html
iii. LMI Neighborhoods: Similarly, board members seeking to qualify as a
Resident of an LMI neighborhood will need to provide proof to us via
HUD census or HUD’s Low- and Moderate-Income Area Data Mapping
Application.
iv. Link to LMI Area Mapping Application4:

3 CHDO’s “elected” representative is higher bar that the CBDO standard, which does not specify that the representative be
elected.
HUD indicates there was an October 18, 2024 update to this map which uses 2026-2020 data.

[PAGE 44]
IV. Substantial Similarity: A Regulatory Pathway for Certifying a CHDO as a CBDO
A. 24 CFR 570.204 – Special Activities by Community-Based Development Organizations
(CBDOs) paragraph (c)(1) describes the general process by which community organizations
may be designated a CBDO, a process familiar to IURA’s Neighborhood Investment
Committee and Board.
B. Paragraph (c)(2) and (3) describe other pathways for designation as a CBDO. These
paragraphs are included below, with emphasis added to facilitate discussion.
(2) A CBDO that does not meet the criteria in paragraph (c)(1) of this section may
also qualify as an eligible entity under this section if it meets one of the following
requirements:
(i) Is an entity organized pursuant to section 301(d) of the Small Business
Investment Act of 1958 (15 U.S.C. 681(d)), including those which are profit
making; or
(ii) Is an SBA approved Section 501 State Development Company or Section 502
Local Development Company, or an SBA Certified Section 503 Company under
the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended; or
(iii) Is a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO) under 24 CFR
92.2, designated as a CHDO by the HOME Investment Partnerships program
participating jurisdiction, with a geographic area of operation of no more than
one neighborhood, and has received HOME funds under 24 CFR 92.300 or is
expected to receive HOME funds as described in and documented in accordance
with 24 CFR 92.300(e).
(3) A CBDO that does not qualify under paragraph (c)(1) or (2) of this section
may also be determined to qualify as an eligible entity under this section if
the recipient demonstrates to the satisfaction of HUD, through the provision of
information regarding the organization's charter and by-laws, that the
organization is sufficiently similar in purpose, function, and scope to those
entities qualifying under paragraph (c)(1) or (2) of this section.
[60 FR 1944, Jan. 5, 1995, as amended at 71 FR 30035, May 24, 2006; 81 FR 92636, Dec.
20, 2016]
C. IURA Staff have analyzed INHS’ application and documentation and have determined that
INHS does qualify as a CHDO. However, INHS’s service area is now larger than that
described at (c)(2)(iii).
a. INHS was founded in Ithaca and has served Ithaca as a CHDO since Ithaca was
designated an Entitlement Community in 2004.
b. INHS previously qualified as a CBDO.
c. IURA Staff have determined that through review of its charter and by-laws that it is
sufficiently similar in purpose, function, and scope to a CBDO.

[PAGE 45]
d. IURA Staff has provided the above information to HUD for input since 2023.
