Message-ID: <8CD343C1F5327C2-6A8-17850@webmail-d073.sysops.aol.com> As discussed at Tuesday meeting, here is a draft of the notice of interest (opened below and attached) we agreed to make to gauge future rental needs for our upcoming meeting with MaineHousing. Please let me know ASAP if this needs changes. I will wait until Sat. to hear back and then we can get it out to the folks we listed and others after that. Also voted at the meeting was to pay the registration fee for 2 YRHCorp members to attend the Maine Housing Conference on Oct. 25. Let me know if interested. Thanks, Mark Year Round Housing Corporation Town of Long Island Wharf Street - Box 263 Long Island, Maine 04050 Mark Greene, Trustee, President Leah Doughty, Secretary Tammy Hohn, Trustee, Vice-President Stephen Train, Treasurer Amy Tierney, Trustee Ruth Peterson, Registered Agent Mary McAleney, Trustee Samuel Whitener, Selectman Trustee Notice of interest in future Rental Housing We are in the initial process of a grant application to build two rental homes that would be available for long term stable rental (with a potential of ownership if interested). Maximum monthly rent for an energy efficient new home would be a maximum of $850/month but could be lower depending on many loan and construction variables as yet unknown. Your name is on a list of current or past Long Island residents who either rent here now or might reside here again if suitable housing were available. While there appears to be sufficient demand initially to utilize these homes, the YRHCorp. needs to gauge as best as possible the future interest should vacancies occur. We understand that it is difficult for most folks to anticipate such needs with an unknown time factor, but if your housing needs might include staying on or retuning to Long Island based on such availability, we hope you will register with us at this time. I(We) the undersigned wish to make known our interest in future rental housing as may become available through the Year Round Housing Corp. This “Notice of Interest” registration in no way obligates me (us) to any contract at this time, but merely allows the Year Round Housing Corp. to be aware of my (our) potential interest in this housing program.

It went well. Thank you to Mary McAleney, Mary Terry, and Liza Flemming Ives for their time and interest. Meeting with MaineHousing – Long Island Grant Last Wednesday, Oct. 20, we met with MaineHousing in Augusta to further explore applying for the grant to build two rental houses on Long Island. Attending were Mary McAleney and Mark Greene of the YRHCorp. with Mary Terry of the Island Institute and Liza Fleming Ives of the Genesis Foundation. We met with Dan Brennan, Director of Development; Norm Fecteau, a Construction Analyst; and Don McGuilvery, a Construction Services Manager. They were interested in who we were (YRHCorp), how and why we came to be, the make up of our community, what and how we perceived our housing needs to be, what we had in mind for building, etc. The meeting was one of which I would characterize as them trying to better understand what we needed and offering their expertise to help us get there. Liza Fleming Ives and Mary Terry characterized it as a meeting that went well, as they have been to these meetings with other interested Island groups for comparison. The next steps that need to be tackled are to better and more precisely decide what we want for houses (stick or modular; size and design, etc) get plans for them, and solicit bids. We can then better fine tune our budget needs and line up the additional monies needed by loan. MaineHousing said that they were a good source of loan monies. I would suggest that you bring more specific ideas and plans to our next meeting and let us try to get to a point quickly where we can solicit the bids and get ready to apply for the grant. I think we also need to clearly define who is going to be applying for these homes so that those folks can be active in the decision making process and that we are (within the guidelines and conditions developed earlier by the YRHCorp.) able to consider the specific needs and desires of those applicants. I would tentatively suggest a next meeting date of Tuesday, Nov. 9. Let me know if this is good.

Some are already in rentals on Long Island, but not necessarily guaranteed long term (privately owned) or are in houses that may be for sale. Others are Long Islanders who are living off island but might live on island if suitable and affordable rental situations were available. Others commute to Long Island to work and, although we do not know what people might want, might live here if housing were available and suitable. I am asking (as we agreed at the last YRHCorp Meeting) that you contact the folks on this list that you know and have contact with and see if they have any future interest and if so, would they fill out a “Notice of Interest” for our files and planning purposes. This obviously has no obligation attached. As you contact these folks (and any others you may think of), maybe shoot me an e-mail so I can check off the list and we can figure at our next meeting how to catch up with those that have been missed. ( Let me know if you can think of a better way to do this!) I have attached the “Notice of Intent” form (so you can forward to others) and opened it below in case you cannot open it. This form should be mailed or e-mailed back to me so we have a real record. Verbal “I’m interested” is not sufficient. Future Potential Rentors: (In no particular order) Maxine Harmon and John Clarke Jeff and Donna Doughty Leah Doughty and Mike Maloney Tommy and Tammy Hohn Sam and April Whitener Brandon Geistert Lorrinda Valls Mary Nanos Richard Clarke Timmy Clarke Buoy Whitener Alex Anderson Luke Parker Missy and Cade Brown Please add others…….
