Request for public records made to City of Malden by Malden NewsNetwork.

Agency
City of Malden
Summary
Unredacted records (see Request # 2022-0100), signed on or about 5/19/22 and held by the City of Malden, and released recently by the LEGAL DEPARTMENT reveal details of an agreement, known to Mayor Christenson and Alex Pratt, related to MVRCS. This request seeks records which have not yet been provided. Specifically, please provide “[a]ny records citing sources of funds, such as account names or numbers, for any financial assistance contributed by the City of Malden to the consummation and terms of these agreements.” This would include Malden CARES, the Malden Eviction Prevention Program, or any form of Federal, State, local, private or other grant or source of funds. The newly unredacted documents now confirm: “The Owner [ ie. MVRCS] agrees to accept a payment for six months’ worth of rent … from the Malden Eviction Prevention Program on behalf of the Tenant …” Thus, this request seeks related records to said payment. Please provide all records related to this acceptance of payment. This should include any records or communication, authorization, approval, review, request for funds, funding account names or numbers, sources of said fund (e.g. federal, state, local, grant, private sources) rental assistance qualifying guidelines etc.) pertaining to funds promised, paid, withdrawn or otherwise discussed with MVRCS related to the Malden Eviction Prevention Program. Finally, related and possibly already included, please provide any records created, sent, or received (e.g. meeting schedules, recaps, minutes, eligibility guidelines or guidance, documents, email, text, notes, forms, applications, term sheets, including online submissions) related to this unredacted language - including drafts accepted or recommended by the City, n which MVRCS “agrees to provide documents required to receive rental assistance payments …”. Thank you. Please find attached documents pertaining to the Malden Eviction Prevention Program that was managed by Housing Families Inc and funded by a $250,000 allocation from the City's Community Development Block Grant.
