It aligns with our policies.

And we are talking not only about failing to approve it, but denying it.

And I'll repeat what I just said before.

I think a denial is a rare outcome for us.

If you look back over the history of council votes, it is very uncommon that we actually actively deny.

It's a slap.

It would be sufficient if there isn't enough support for this to pass to just let it not pass and express the lack of support from council that way.

Denial is kind of an act of hostility.

I don't see a foundation for that given the engagement by True Homes and the church.

So on this occasion, I can't agree with the district grant and I will be supporting the petition.

Mr. Graham, I'll get back to you.

So Mayfield has not spoken yet, I think.

Thank you, Mr. Driggs.

So as was noted, I have had the opportunity to lead our faith and housing initiative.

Not only lead it, honestly work with staff, and we built it.

from the ground up and identify what it would look like.

I think there's a part of this conversation that I don't want, that I know I don't want to get lost.

And that is just because you can doesn't mean it's always in the right location.

So we have churches throughout this city and our religious community has been wonderful supporters.

They were doing this work long before we identified the initiative and the policy language to help move us forward.
