                 Agency


Agenda Item:  HUD Supportive Housing Grant
Chairman Kay asked C-L-M Community Action Agency officials to review issues related to the supportive
housing grant.  Michelle LaJoie explained that the public notice originally made for the Eastern Upper 
Peninsula Veteran Center Foundation, Inc. had to be resubmitted.  Officials from the Michigan State Housing
Development Authority (MSHDA) required a new notice showing Chippewa County as the sponsoring
government agency.  Ms. LaJoie conducted a conference call during the meeting in which state officials
confirmed the notice requirement. It was also confirmed that the change would have no fiscal impact on the
County or the grant.

It was moved by Commissioner Dale, supported by Commissioner Hopper, to recommend approval of 
the amended notice of intent to request a release of funds for the Eastern Upper Peninsula Veteran
Center Foundation, Inc., and to list Chippewa County as the sponsoring government agency.  On a
voice vote, the motion was CARRIED.

Adjourn
Chairman Kay declared the meeting adjourned at 10:25 a.m.
