**🎙️** Q-Point Podcast | Mike Myatt — Part One
“There’s Gonna Be Consequences for That”
Myatt On Illegal Drug Use at Yellen Pines.
Mike Myatt, CEO of Bangor Housing, joined Q-Point to discuss the organization’s public housing, voucher and resident-support programs, along with the growing demand for affordable family and senior housing.
The conversation centered on Yellen Pines, a proposed 30-unit supportive housing development for people experiencing chronic homelessness. Myatt addressed the project’s $11.2 million total cost, including more than $7 million for construction, its funding structure and Bangor Housing’s pledge not to seek city funding for operating or service expenses. He also explained how prospective residents will be evaluated through a coordinated-entry process.
Myatt discussed Preble Street’s planned 24-hour on-site staffing and Bangor Housing’s responsibility for voucher screening, leases, property management and evictions. He also addressed illegal drug use, property damage and other lease violations while pointing to results from Logan Place showing fewer police calls, jail stays and emergency-service costs.
