This is the first time I have seen this request. I just checked out the MPIA inbox and this was not in the inbox so I don't know where the first request was sent. I will respond and start working on the request.

Dear Ms. Ilano:
Please be advised that I have been assigned to review your request for documents made to the Housing Authority of Baltimore City (HABC) pursuant to Maryland Public Information Act (MPIA).
You have requested information regarding the relocation of residents of East Baltimore by the East Baltimore Development Inc. along with any and all documents between HABC and the East Baltimore Development pertaining to the relocation. What is your time frame for these documents?
You have also requested documents from meetings sponsored by Baltimore City Staff and Urban Design Associates in July and October, 2001. HABC is not a Baltimore City agency. You need to contact the Baltimore City agency that sponsored those 3 meetings in 2001 for those documents.
You have requested documents from the Housing and Relocation Committee, including the Policy Subcommittee for 2006-2007 related to the East Baltimore Development Master Plan. I am not certain what Committee you are referring to, but you would have to contact that Committee for those documents.
HABC owns and operates public housing. When you provide the time frame, I will research your request to determine if any public housing residents were relocated by East Baltimore Development in that time frame. If so, I will search for the documents requested.
HABC does charge for MPIA requests. If there are available documents, I will email you an estimated cost for your request.
If you have questions, kindly contact me.
This is not a denial of your request.
Sincerely,
Gregory Rothwell

Dear Gregory,
Thank you for following up on my request. Below I have tried to clarify your questions.
With regards to the information about the relocation of residents in East Baltimore by EBDI, the time frame I am interested in is 2001-2015. I would appreciate documents, names, addresses, etc of residents who were moved from public housing in East Baltimore to new public housing.
During this time frame, I am also interested in documentation you may have related to the occupancy of public housing units in East Baltimore (e.g. Ashland Commons). In particular, I am interested in the number of units per year that housed low income residents.
Thank you very much for your time and effort spent into looking into this matter. Please send me an estimated cost for the requested documents.
Best,
Lauren

To give you an update, I am still working on your request for documents pertaining to public housing residents who were relocated in East Baltimore from 2001 to 2015 to new public housing units by East Baltimore Development Inc. At this time, I have not located any documents but I still have not reviewed all possible documents yet. My research so far indicates Baltimore City, not HABC, was involved in the relocation. HABC is not a Baltimore City agency. Ashland Commons is not a public housing development and HABC does not have any public housing residents in that apartment complex.
If you have any additional information or questions, kindly contact me.

Hi Gregory,
Thanks you for your update and the time you are spending searching for documents related to public housing resident relocation in East Baltimore from 2001 to 2015. You mentioned that your "research so far indicates Baltimore City, not HABC, was involved in the relocation" and I am wondering if you can please clarify which Baltimore City agencies or offices you are referring to.
Thanks,
Lauren
From: The Housing Authority Of Baltimore City
The agency mentioned is Baltimore City Department of Planning and I would suggest you send your request to that agency.
