• With hiring of Managing Director of the Trust being delayed for funding, emphasis is being placed on training and development of Owner Services Specialist to provide strong administrative support, along with Executive Director and Finance Manager at Voice as fiscal agent. He is someone with lived experience in homelessness, who is mastering research on database and mapping, that is key to future community/member outreach efforts, attending meetings of local/citywide allies and ecosystem service providers, and is learning the issues of asset managers, property managers and resident services providers -- whose focus is on preservation and innovative strategies, like CLTs. • By-Law changes to governance and other provisions discussed at prior meetings were updated by our outside TA Providers at the University of Chicago, Department of Law, Housing Initiatives Transactional Clinic, and we were provided guidance (11/21) on notices and voting procedures to fill current and anticipated vacancies at the next planned meeting (January 2025)

• Con aproximadamente 80% de fondos de subvenciones municipales comprometidos aún pendientes, y la necesidad de reunirse con funcionarios del DPD sobre los desafíos de los vales para organizaciones emergentes (no proyectos de adquisición y desarrollo), la organización ha ajustado las expectativas de avances en los beneficios para los miembros, excepto en el área de alivio de impuestos a la propiedad, donde la organización ha avanzado en la capacitación de los propietarios, ha demostrado cómo las apelaciones pueden producir mejores resultados con las apelaciones de costos sociales y, de hecho, obtuvo la aprobación para el estado exento de impuestos sobre las propiedades programadas para el Fideicomiso, que se está realizando gradualmente hasta fin de año con certificaciones y reembolsos.

• As reported in September, Voice decided to seek an alternative lender or CDFI to be fiscal sponsor of the Dovie Thurman Affordable Housing Trust and three pilot properties slated for it. With that has come delays to the Education, Outreach & Marketing efforts – raising awareness of this kind of CLT strategy and pitching the prospect of membership to affordable housing owners. Fortunately, this adjustment and plans to develop RFP for potential new sponsors coincided with onset of technical assistance from Ownership Initiatives, with exchanges of calls, correspondence and marketing documents leading up to COLT Activation Plan Presentations December 4th. • Redrafting of TA Provider “Activation Plan” presentation material began in November, and the outline and contents for this both mirrored and informed drafting of RFP planned for late December

La disminución de la financiación de las subvenciones de la Ciudad de Chicago ha limitado nuestra capacidad interna para avanzar en los objetivos del Dovie Trust con la rapidez prevista, pero esto se debe únicamente a la falta de tiempo y de ingresos. Sin embargo, se avanza mes a mes y hemos alcanzado la mayoría de nuestros objetivos realistas, considerando esta limitación. La nueva e inesperada estrategia para identificar un prestamista, una CDFI o un patrocinador fiscal para el Trust se considera menos una barrera o limitación para el progreso, y más una oportunidad para conseguir un socio institucional que pueda fortalecer la capacidad organizativa en el futuro.

• As referenced earlier, the TA offered via Ownership Initiatives has been well-timed to support development of RFP materials in recruitment of institutional sponsor and prepare materials that can be used for multiple audiences for 2025 Outreach, Education & Marketing.
