This is a recommended grant for $750,000 of Community Development Block Grant funding that was selected through a competitive request for grant proposals in spring of 2025 for purchase of a building that True North Recovery is proposing to use as a base for operations in Anchorage. It took until April 2026 for them to actually identify the specific building that they were proposing to, to acquire for the services that they were proposing. And so that was when this kind of became a topic of conversation over a specific proposal that will require Assembly approval to move forward. Next slide, please. So this is the location.
