All right, everybody still doing? Okay. My name is Bethany. I work for Smith group as an urban designer and Community Engagement Specialist, so I've had the honor of working closely with summer to help coordinate the activities today. But like Julie mentioned, I'm going to give a brief overview of the data side to the research. So we've taken all of the feedback that we've received to date that Julie highlighted, and we're also pairing that with data sources and research that help validate those experiences, that help explain specific points that we should be digging into, and so a little bit about that something that many of you are probably familiar with. Our homes in Detroit are aging. Over 80% of homes in the city are over 65 years old. And so what this means is that maintenance costs are higher, energy bills are higher. And so automatically, because our homes are older, because they're harder to maintain, it also means they're more expensive to the families who are living here in the city, which leads me to that housing cost is a burden. Nearly 40% of Detroit families are experiencing cost burden. And so when we say cost burden, what we mean is that 30% of your income is going towards paying for your housing. So that means that that's a significant portion of your income that could be going towards programs for your kiddos, groceries, to put on the table, all sorts of other things. But you have this significant burden with cost of housing. In addition to that, for our low income residents, specifically, they're paying nearly a third of their income just on energy bills, which is crazy. We've got a chart that kind of explains some of that, in comparison to some of the cities in our region. But all of this also plays into how housing quality becomes a concern. So Detroit is filled with incredibly beautiful homes, but oftentimes are experiencing problems like electrical issues and heating problems and plumbing failures and again, all of this is kind of compounding itself into that housing burden. Vacancy also continues to remain high. About 23% of Detroit homes are currently sitting vacant. But we understand that across the city that vacancy is happening at different rates. So some neighborhoods might be really dense and have houses lining down the streets, and in other neighborhoods you might see a lot of vacancy, a lot of scattered, empty lots that haven't been revitalized into something else. And as a result of the fact that that pattern of vacancy is really scattered. It can oftentimes mean that neighborhood revitalization can become really challenging, because it feels like a really big problem to tackle. But Detroiters housing needs are also changing. So we've got a lot of Detroit households that are getting smaller. We've also got women leaving nearly half of our Detroit households, they're also led by single women, which means that they don't have a spouse or a partner present in that family. The city is getting older, so a good chunk of households do have someone in them that is over 65 years old, or also, we've got about 13,000 seniors who are living alone in the city, and then again, your household is also having children, so demographics of those houses are changing, which means that what the houses look like may not support what those families need. All right. So what all this means is that we're experiencing what we would call a housing mismatch. Okay, so, like I said, houses are predominantly older, and what we need is to upgrade those homes so that they're able to function efficiently, but also preserve them so that their historic, historic significance can remain for generations to come. Our larger households households or houses are designed for traditional families or bigger households. And so we're needing to find ways where we can also infuse into our neighborhood smaller units, whether they're owner or rental, for our smaller families and single households. We've got limited accessibility that isn't helping our aging population. We've got to present those high energy costs, and so finding ways that we can lower that burden on families. Provide energy efficiency in our housing units, so cost burden is reduced. And lastly, lastly, we see that lack of density when you experience so much vacancy. What that means also outside the housing neighborhoods conversation is that the businesses can't be as supported. All of the services can feel a bit disconnected because they were meant for much larger populations. And so finding a way that, if we concentrate how we do things, infuse more people into our neighborhoods, that that means we can also get the support for some of those amenities and resources that people across the city are asking for that was a lot to throw at you. We also, in addition to the boards along the wall that have the vision and value statements in this corner back here and also out in the hallway, we've got all of this information summarized there as well for you to read through. And let us know if these are challenges that you're experiencing or if there are challenges that maybe aren't reflected in this please let us know. We've also highlighted how these challenges intersect with some of our other conversations. So we recognize that today we're here to talk about housing and neighborhoods, but that we have conversations happening for jobs and economy and open space and environment, and none of the challenges are exclusive to their topic, but instead are crossing all of these things. So feel free to step over there also to see the illustration of how those two things come together. So what did all of this mean in the context for why all of you are in the room today, we've just highlighted a series of challenges that we've looked at, whether you voice them in engagement, or whether it's something that we've uncovered through research. We know what some of the opportunities are to begin to look at, how do we create sustainable development, recognizing their market struggles to make that happen. How do we repopulate some of our neighborhoods to get support back into our businesses and get families into much needed affordable housing? And so our mission, specifically when it comes to housing neighborhoods in this process is to co create this land use strategy with all of us in the room and for people who are going to participate in later sessions to really begin to identify different goals and strategies that can start to tackle, how do we stabilize our neighborhoods? How do we make them more affordable and livable, to the residents who are there now and also the residents who may come in the future. And how do we make sure that we're enhancing our neighborhood qualities in everything that we do? There's so much to celebrate in the city. We want to just continue to elevate those things. And so what that means for today, you all are experts on your neighborhood. You're experts on your daily experiences, whether it's working for a nonprofit in the city, whether it's your lived experience living in one of Detroit's neighborhoods, you all are the experts, and so we need your help identifying what the future policies and goals should be that begin to support all of your visions and aspirations. And so we've got a handful of possibilities here today. A but we want to understand, are these the tools that plan Detroit needs to use in order to meet your needs? Are there other tools that we can consider? How might this work in one neighborhood versus another? Where should we be prioritizing things so that what we get started on with day one of plan Detroit is this, but we might wait a couple of years to do the next thing and then identifying what needs to happen for all of this to work well. So ultimately, when this process is complete, we are not just writing a bunch of words in a document. It's going to sit on a shelf somewhere, but we actually want to get strategies and actions that the city can use to move forward with all of these visions and ideas, and so this is where we're going to move into the discussion piece of this section. We've got about an hour and 10 minutes, so take as much time as you all need to work through the content on the table. You'll notice there's a series of possibility parts these guys, they might look a little bit like the note taking sheet that you used in school to help if you had an open book test, we understand there's a lot of information on these. You got a stack of them at your table, your facilitator will help walk you through these. These are just a starting point. These are just ideas for today. They're conversation starters. We have not written plan Detroit. I want to make that very clear. We have not written as planned. Through all of our research and all of our engagement, so far, we've come up with some potentials that are here to help us have the conversation today, that are tested and tried, approaches that have worked in other places. But if these are not things that support what your needs are for your neighborhood, you also have a series of blank cards on your table that you can use to help illustrate. Did we miss something? Are there pieces that we need to add in that aren't reflected on these cards? You do only have a few minutes to talk about each of these things, so it feels like a lot of information. There's also an overview sheet on your table for each of you that you can use to help read through some of that content as well. It matches. Thank you. Everything on card. Okay, so we've got two activities for this, the first part of it, the first 50 minutes. So we've got almost an hour to work through all of the possibility cards, have a discussion, let us know, are these things working? Would they work in your neighborhood? Do you have concerns about some of the approaches that are sitting on the table? And then again, share your own ideas if you think there's something missing from what's been put forward today. And then after that, we're going to get into an exercise, and we're going to vote on prioritization. So what are the things that we really love, and what do we think would work in some neighborhoods, but maybe not all of them? What are things that just wouldn't work in Detroit at all that we can set aside? And then what are the new ideas that you would like to add?
