CAHAB - 6 years Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: I am applying for the vacant position on the Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board for a citizen interested in special needs housing. I currently serve as chair of the Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board and have been on the Board since 2014. During that time I have gained significant insight into the requirements and challenges of special needs housing. Additionally, for the past several years I have coordinated the preparation and serving of breakfast for the homeless during the Warming Center season which has given me the opportunity to interact with this population and gain some insight into the physical, social and mental health needs and challenges faced by this group. Serving on the Housing Working Group that developed the Bozeman Community Housing Action Plan afforded me the opportunity to explore and contribute to strategies targeted at addressing policies related to some of the facets of the special needs population of Bozeman. For the past 7 years I have served on the Greater Gallatin Homeless Action Coalition (GGHAC) which works to coordinate resources and programs for the special needs community in the Gallatin Valley. I am currently serving on the board of Family Promise, another local organization which provides services to homeless families in Bozeman, including those with special needs, and have been a volunteer with Family Promise for many years. Understanding that there is no solution to homelessness, my interest lies in the opportunity to make progress by providing additional avenues to address the issues surrounding homelessness. 328 References: Please provide name, phone, and email contact information for two references.

(○) No Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: After living and working seasonally for over eight years, I was interested in finding a community where I could feel at home and invest in my future. Bozeman seemed like a great fit for me, so I moved here to live full time in 2017. After taking the First Time Home Buyers course with the HRDC last year, I have been looking for a home to purchase and have experienced some of the challenges that exist for someone who is in the low-moderate income category. This valley offers an ideal mix of recreation, arts, and culture but I believe that intentional development in affordable housing is critical to preserve and grow a vibrant and diverse community. I want to serve the Bozeman community by being a voice on the Community Affordable Housing Advisory Board and bring opportunity to more people that live, work, and thrive here. Throughout my professional life I have worked collaboratively with coworkers to solve problems, refine systems, and educate others in a variety of fields from outdoor education, team management, and curriculum development. I am excited to bring a mature and respectful communication style that is grounded in listening and inclusion to this position. I am reliable, articulate, responsive, and have a passion for serving others. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

I have served on a curriculum advisory board for the 4J school district in Eugene, Oregon. I have served on a sustainability advisory board in Nevada City, CA. I served in both positions for approximately one year. Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: Practicing as an architect, I have extensive experience designing a variety of affordable and workforce housing projects across the United States. I am currently designing a workforce housing condominium project in Bozeman called Bozeman Cohousing. I have worked on projects in other high-value markets such as the Bay Area. In addition to experience with conventional subsidized affordable housing, I have extensive experience with the design and development of cohousing communities, which are facilitatively designed with and developed by the future residents. These communities incorporate affordability and income diversity in both the initial sale price as well as programs for those living in them. For the seat on the board reserved for members of the design and construction industry, I can bring the perspective of someone who has struggled to create subsidized affordable housing as well as unsubsidized workforce housing under the current Bozeman regulatory framework. Lastly, earlier in my life I was a beneficiary of Boulder, CO's affordable housing program, where I lived in a community housing cooperative that was permitted and funded in party by city affordable housing dollars. While living there I was able to transition from a subsidized product to an at-large dwelling in the same community as the program facilitated my personal economic development. 340 References: Please provide name, phone, and email contact information for two references.

(○) No Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: I am qualified and interested in serving as the Construction Industry Representative for the CAHAB due to my unique position as a prefabricated housing builder targeted solely at producing affordable housing for members of our community. Our venture was founded out of frustration with a lack of tangible solutions to the affordable housing shortage, and the construction boom going on in the City of Bozeman ignoring the housing needs of those that live and work here. I feel that we are well positioned to represent the construction industry as I have previous relationships with subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers in the Gallatin Valley, and I am interested in taking a unique approach to solving some of the supply shortage of housing in our area. As someone who has worked for varying general contractors for the last 8 years in both residential and commercial construction, I feel that I am well suited to provide insight as to the current hurdles and pitfalls in affordable housing, as well as help target contacts within the industry to alleviate these challenges. My interest, through Foothold, is using non-traditional offsite construction methods to help online housing faster, and get more people in and around the City of Bozeman into housing.

Fort Collins, CO. 2 years Please explain your relevant qualifications, interests and experiences: My name is Brian Rasch. I have been in the construction industry for 5+ years. I graduated from architecture school in the fall of 2014. As a young professional who has lived and worked in areas heavily gentrified, I have experience living in affordable living, as well as seeing the challenges within the construction industry to keep up with the demand. In 2017, I was invited to the Board Bank Program put on by United Way. The Board Bank Program actively recruits and trains community professionals to become valuable board members. Upon graduating this program, I served on the Larimer County Parks for two years in Fort Collins, working on master planning, before moving to Bozeman. My daily work does not consist of affordable living projects. I see being apart of this committee as an opportunity to be a part of the change I think is necessary to maintain a diverse and strong community in Bozeman. Up until the pandemic, I had the opportunity of studying affordable living in New Zealand and their attempts to keep their native populations by investing in designing affordable living for their future. I would like the opportunity to be a part of this committee to learn from other community members and bring sound construction knowledge to apply tactics that I learned both abroad and living in the Rocky Mountain West.
