of
pittsburgh.
E
A
F
Sure
I'm
originally
from
california.
I
worked
for
the
city
of
mountain
view
out
there
for
a
number
of
years
and
then
recently
moved
to
the
area,
I'm
happy
to
be
joining
the
hr
hra
team.
I've
been
really
impressed
with
the
team.
So
far
on
the
experience,
the
years
of
experience
that
the
whole
team
brings
to
the
table
so
excited
to
be
working
with
all
of
you
moving
forward.
A
A
A
G
Good
evening,
commission
president,
commissioner,
president
and
commissioners
as
part
of
our
normal
procurement
practice,
we
go
out
for
rfp
for
major
services
like
bond
attorneys.
So
we
did
go
out
for
an
rfp
this
spring
and
we
had
three
bidders
and,
through
the
criteria
that
we
utilized
kennedy
and
graven
continues
to
be
our
bond
attorney
and
we
are
asking
the
hra
board
if
they
would
approve
that
for
their
bond
attorney.
Also.
A
Hearing
no
questions.
Thank
you.
This
is
short
and
sweet.
Yes,
do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
professional
services
agreement
for
the
hra's
board,
consul
services
with
kennedy
and
graven
so
moved?
Second,
thank
you.
It's
been
moved
by
commissioner
hukim
with
a
second
by
commissioner
martin
to
approve
the
professional
services
agreement
for
the
hra's
bond
council
services
with
kennedy
engraven.
A
A
H
H
H
These
are
projects
that
have
either
recently
been
completed
in
the
last
two
years
or
they're
under
construction
or
they've
been
approved
for
future
construction
and,
if
you
add
up
everything
on
this
map,
you'll
see
that
there
are
24
projects
and
3410
units,
which
is
a
lot
of
units.
That's
not
normal.
H
H
H
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
first
projects
that
are
under
construction
right
now,
so
I
know
you're
familiar
with
a
lot
of
these
because
they've
been
hra,
assisted
and
one
of
those
hra
assisted
projects
is
that
80,
12
old
cedar
68
units
this
project
has
been
framed
up.
You
know
most
of
the
work
is
interior.
At
this
point,.
H
Then
we
have
the
air
apartments.
This
is
the
former
crown
plaza.
Hotel
has
been
converted
to
residential
terms
of
units
229
units,
it's
currently
in
progress,
and
something
unique
about
this
project
is
there's
a
lot
of
affordability,
but
no
public
assistance,
it's
all
non-assisted
development
and
really
the
the
way
they
were
able
to
do.
That
is
because
it
is
a
conversion
in
very
small
units,
they're
able
to
hit
a
pretty
high
level
of
affordability
without
any
public
assistance.
G
H
G
H
H
And
we
have
the
arter
apartments
just
across
the
street,
also
in
south
loop
on
american
boulevard,
far
eastern
portion
of
american
boulevard.
These
are
market
rate
apartments,
so
no
public
assistance
in
the
11
projects
we've
had
since
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance
was
adopted.
This
is
the
only
one
that
is
going
the
fee
in
lieu
route.
H
H
H
H
H
The
amira
senior
apartments
recently
opened.
This
is
on
american
boulevard
in
the
normandale
lake
district,
fully
market
rate
cherrywood
point
adjacent
to
amira,
fully
market
rate
is
open
as
well.
This
is
assisted
living
118
units,
blooming
meadows,
you're,
very
familiar
with
hra
assisted
172
units
in
the
southwest
district
friendship
village.
H
Founders
ridge
recently
opened
111
units
again.
Market
rate
is
senior
only
and
hra
assisted
district
departments
you're
very
familiar
with
248
units
in
the
pan-american
district,
hayden
grove,
a
senior
living
another
hra,
assisted
project,
166
units
senior
and
then
108
place
apartments
again.
Hra
assisted
42
units.
C
H
H
H
Recently,
city
adopted
a
moratorium,
made
some
changes
in
in
the
zoning
standards,
so
we've
not
seen
any
additional
self
storage
since
then,
and
then,
most
recently,
auto
dealers
we've
had
a
lot
of
auto
dealer
activity
and
I'll
highlight
a
few
of
those
you
can
see.
Most
of
the
projects
are
concentrated
along
494
or
lindale
avenue,
and
I
would
note,
too,
that
we've
lost
projects
recently
due
to
high
construction
costs.
H
The
third
level
will
be
the
corporate
offices
for
wallser
and
and
the
dealership
will
be
on
the
levels
one
and
two
fire
station.
Four
is
under
construction,
they're
working
on
the
foundation.
Now
it's
at
84th
street,
in
irwin,
hyatt
house,
hotel,
extended
stay
hotel
remains
under
construction
at
old,
shakopee,
road
and
86th
street,
and
then
the
bcs4
building
that
we
talked
about
will
include
a
grocer
at
the
ground
level.
H
I
think
it's
about
14
000
square
foot
grocer,
which
would
be
a
great
addition
to
the
south
loop
district
and
then
verizon
is
underway
with
their
14
000
square
foot.
Expansion
in
the
western
industrial
area,
sick
is
nearing
completion
on
their
first
phase.
This
this
shows
all
four
phases
first
phase
here
is:
is
nearing
completion.
G
H
D
H
Yeah,
chair
lewis,
commissioner
martin,
we
don't
have
a
a
good
estimate.
It's
definitely
been
a
very
prolonged
construction
process
with
the
impacts
on
the
hotel
industry,
it
impacted
their
funding
levels
and
they
had
to
kind
of
slow
down
on
construction.
But
we
are
seeing,
you
know
very
slow
progress
there,
but
I
can't
I
can't
give
you
a
date
for
certain
just.
A
H
I
There
we
go
so
the
report
structure,
we
broke
it
down
into
these
sections
that
are
focused
on
demographics,
existing
housing
stock.
What
is
the
affordability
of
that
housing
stock
and
how
are
we
addressing
affordability
with
our
programs
and
then
it
jumps
into
a
little
bit
of
what
glenn
was
talking
about
with
new
development
and
then
just
a
little
preview
of
what's
next
in
our
work
plan
for
the
year,
so
I'll
review
demographics
with
you.
I
So
as
you,
you
may
know,
bloomington
continues
to
grow.
You
can
see
here
that
we
had
a
little
bit
of
a
drop
going
from
1990
to
2000
to
2010
our
population
shrunk
a
little
bit,
and
that
was
largely
due
to
our
average
household
size
was
shrinking.
We
had
kids
leaving,
and
you
have
now
have
two
people
where
three
people
were
living,
so
you
can
see
where
our
households
kind
of
grew,
but
this
year
in
2020,
now
with
the
decennial
census,
we've
shown
that
our
how
average
household
size
is
kind
of
flatlined.
I
When
we
updated
our
comprehensive
plan,
which
we
update
on
a
10-year
cycle,
we
were
really
focused
on
three
development
areas:
our
normandale
lake
district,
our
pan-american
district
and
the
south
loop
district.
Someone
read
there
and
what
ended
up
happening
in
that
decade
was
that's.
Where
we
saw
growth,
you
can
see
15
and
16
percent
growth
in
these
census
tracts.
You
could
see
20
percent
growth
in
the
pan-american
and
30
growth
in
population,
so
it
really
kind
of
what
we
had
put
in
the
comp
plan
really
reflected
in
that
population
change.
I
Although
we
have
seen
growth
throughout
the
city
and
now
in
the
last
comprehensive
plan,
which
is
now
five
years
now
goes
quickly,
but
we
talked
about
also
leveraging
our
our
high
frequency
transit.
So
we
have
the
orange
line
that
now
has
opened.
So
we
have
our
station
area
plan
in
98th
street
area
that
we're
looking
to
concentrate.
We
have
since
done
the
lindell
retrofit
plan.
I
She
talked
about
crane,
two
dense
neighborhoods
along
glendale
and
there's
other
opportunities
to
take
advantage
of
the
d-line
bus,
rapid
transit
that
might
come
in
the
so
there
might
be
other
opportunities
for
growth
and
infill
development
as
well
beyond.
Just
the
development
districts
that
we
focus
on,
and
so
bloomington
is
interesting
in
that
we're
both
getting
older,
our
population
over
65
has
grown,
but
we're
also
getting
younger
a
population
under
18
has
grown.
I
I
We're
also
changing
in
our
racial
and
ethnic
makeup,
and
this
has
been
pretty
consistent
over
the
last
20
30
years,
we've
seen
about
a
ten
percent
change
in
our
bypoc
population,
our
black
indigenous
people
of
color,
so
we're
right
about
32
of
our
population
is
bypack
and
those
have
different
implications
on
how
we're
running
programs,
how
we're
looking
at
making
sure
we
have
the
adequate
housing
stock.
So
an
interesting
factoid
is
that
our
buy
households
are
larger.
I
They
have
on
average
3.7
people
per
household,
so
they're
they're
largely
comprised
of
families
as
our
non-white
or
non-hispanic
white
population
is
2.1
people
per
household.
So
that's
one
and
a
half
people
difference
so
as
we're
looking
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
adequate
units
and
movement
in
the
market.
I
It's
something
to
consider
and
we
looked
at
where
population
growth
was
occurring
just
in
general,
but
we
can
see.
Our
population
is
growing
everywhere
in
blue.
You
can
see
growth,
you
know
400
500
people
and
most
of
the
census
tract.
So
it's
not
one
part
of
the
city
where
we're
seeing
that
growth.
It's
throughout
the
city
that
we're
seeing
that
growth.
I
An
interesting
thing
as
we're
talking
about
household
size,
is
looking
at
our
renters
versus
owners
that
households
with
children,
because
that's
when
you
think
of
larger
households,
typically
have
children
and
it's
actually
pretty
equal
between
our
renter
and
our
owner
occupied
housing
units
they're
both
about
25
of
the
households,
have
children.
So
when
we
typically
think
owner,
we
think
single
family.
We
think
family
right,
but
in
all
actuality,
our
brenter
households,
which
we
typically
think
multi-family
they're
occupied
with
the
same
amount
of
children
and
families
as
well.
I
I
So,
looking
at
our
existing
housing
stock,
we
have
about
forty
thousand
units
in
bloomington
about
fifty
three
percent
and
just
over
fifty
percent
is
that
single-family
housing
stock?
That's
where
we
saw
a
lot
of
where
bloomington
grew
up
right
in
single
family
homes
and
now
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
that
development
in
multi-family
because
we're
a
built
out
city
and
you
have
your
opportunities
in
those
denser
nodes.
I
So
we
have
about
13
000
multi-family
units,
our
condos
town
homes
and
co-ops.
They
only
make
up
about
15
16
and
it
there's
interesting.
We
don't
see
a
lot
of
condo
development.
It
is
renter
multi-family
that
we
see
there's
laws
that
have
made
it
more
difficult
for
condos
to
be
developed
that
there's
a
lot
more
risk
for
those
developers.
So
it's
really
I've
seen
one
statistic:
that's
a
30
to
one
ratio
and
multi-family
to
condos
being
built.
I
I
I
And
in
2008,
when
we
had
the
the
housing
bubble,
we
saw
a
real
kind
of
sharp
increase
in
single-family
homes
that
we
were
being
rented.
So
a
lot
of
foreclosures
that
were
happening
and
people
saw
it
as
an
opportunity
to
buy
a
unit
or
a
house
at
you,
know
in
a
foreclosure
and
start
renting
it,
and
you
can
see
we
kind
of
just
continued
to
grow
until
about
2016,
where
our
single
family
homes,
rental,
license
kind
of
flattened
out
here
about
thirteen
fourteen
hundred
single
family
homes
are
now
rentals.
I
So
again
when
you're
thinking
about
family
size.
That
maybe
that's
that's
a
good
thing
that
there
are
these
larger
units
for
rental.
But
it's
an
interesting
thing
that
we'll
see
as
this
value
sharply
increased
in
the
last
two
years.
Will
this
affect
rentals?
We've
known
that
we've
seen
a
lot
of
turnover
in
the
rental
licensing,
but
it
seems
to
be
that
everyone
that
we
lose.
We
get
a
new
one
coming
in,
so
we're
not
entirely
sure
where
this
trend
is
going
or
if
it
will
continue
to
kind
of
remain
stable.
I
And
then
looking
at
affordability
of
of
rent
renter
households,
so
you
can
see
down
here.
We
were
talking
earlier
in
the
previous
presentation
about
our
income
vans
or
30
50
60
area,
median
income,
and
these
are
kind
of
the
rents
that
would
be
affordable
based
on
the
bed
number
of
bedrooms
per
unit
for
your
monthly
rent,
and
I
put
that
up
there
just
to
compare
to
what
is
kind
of
our
average
rent
so
now
we're
entering
in
2022.
I
should
kind
of
point
out:
these
are
all
from
last
year's
report.
I
E
I
But
another
interesting
fact
is
that
last
year
our
vacancy
rate
was
about
2.3
percent,
so
it
was
really
kind
of
a
tight
market
and
now
we're
at
a
healthy
6.1
percent,
so
be
interesting,
as
even
more
units
come
on.
Where
that
will
land
six
percent
is,
is
good,
there's
movement
in
the
market,
if
you
think
about
it
with
in
how
we
look
at
unemployment,
if
we
have
too
low
of
unemployment,
that
means
there's
too
many
jobs.
I
If
we
have
too
high
of
unemployment
means,
we
have
a
labor
shortage,
so
you
want
to
have
that
ability
to
have
some
movement,
but
not
too
much
so.
Six
percent
is
usually
considered
about
healthy
and
so
it'll
be
interesting
as
we
get
more
units
if
they
will
fill
up
quickly
and
how
that
will
be
reflected
in
rent
moving
forward.
I
I
So
typically,
it's
because
of
the
age
of
the
unit,
their
class
c
properties,
usually
they're,
built
in
70s,
so
they're
they've
been
around
a
while
and
and
we
don't
want
to
lose
them
because
if
they
get
converted
all
of
a
sudden
now
rent
goes
way
up.
We,
we
don't
have
a
unit
for
an
affordable
unit
for
someone
to
move
into
so
they're
an
important
part
of
the
housing
market
to
kind
of
make
sure
that
we
retain
and
aren't
displacing
people
who
need
that.
And
so
in
this
case
we
use
costar.
I
It's
a
proprietary
database.
The
co-star
actually
owns
apartments.com,
so
they
collect
most
information
about
rent.
They
tend
to
miss
some
of
the
smaller
mon
operations
that
might
not
use
their
service
to
kind
of
list
their
their
available
units.
But
so
that's
why
you
see
a
little
asterisk
here.
We
don't
quite
have
all
the
units
captured
out
there,
but
it's
a
pretty
close
summary
and
our
total
noah
percentage
is
about
a
little
under
half
of
our
units.
This
is
an
interesting
thing
that
we
found
out
tracking.
I
This
is
now
our
we're
in
our
second
third
year
of
tracking
now
and
about
15
of
our
units,
or
so
are
within
5
of
kind
of
the
60
ami
rents.
So,
as
you
can
imagine,
if
we
increase
by
50
a
month
or
decrease
by
50
a
month,
we
can
jump
15.
You
know
seven
percent
in
one
direction
or
seven
percent
in
the
other
direction.
I
So
you
might
see
a
20
difference
between
january
of
one
year
and
june
of
you
know
the
same
year,
just
on
a
small
amount
of
shift,
so
we're
tracking
over
time
and
it
it
seems
to
hover
about
that
40
45
percent
and
we'll
continue
to
see
where
that
trend
line
is,
and
it
can
vary
by
the
unit
type,
especially
when
you
think
student
studios
and
three
bedrooms.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
studios
and
we
don't
our
efficiencies
and
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
three
bedrooms.
I
And
then
what
would
an
affordable
home
ownership?
Look
like
for
sixty
percent
ami
hud
would
have
that
at
316
000
for
last
year,
which
was
actually
pretty
close
to
what
our
our
median
home
value
was
assessed
at.
So
it
matches
fairly
close
with
bloomington
and
understanding
that
we
have
a
wide
range
of
housing
available
from
million-dollar
homes
to
smaller
starter
homes,
and
these
are
kind
of
the
assumptions
they
use
to
get
to
that
316..
I
I
That's
a
huge
discrepancy
right,
and
so
this
is
where
our
our
programs
and
our
first
time
homebuyer
programs
are
important
and
how
we
can
find
ways
to
increase
that
ownership
is
important
because
we
know
there
there
are
all
sorts
of
benefits
with
ownership,
it's
not
a
silver
bullet,
but
there
are
opportunities
that
are.
There
are
benefits
to
homeownership
and
thinking
about
generational
wealth,
building.
I
Another
aspect
to
affordability
is
unemployment
and
your
income,
so
besides
rent
and
how
much
it
costs
to
rent
a
home.
Do
you
have
an
income
to
match
that
so
bloomington
really
kind
of
follows
the
metro
pretty
closely.
This
is
our
unemployment
rate
with
the
yellow
lines,
henneman
county,
the
green
lines,
the
metro
region,
we're
really
close
in
the
pandemic.
We
jumped
a
little
bit
higher
than
the
metro,
but
it
seems
to
be
that
we've
recovered
and
we're
really
close.
I
3.9
percent,
which
again
that's
a
pretty
healthy
rate
for
unemployment
and
we'll
be
hopefully
can
keep
that
up
in
our
top
industries.
The
people
who
live
in
bloomington
they
work
in
50
of
our
population
works
in
these
top
10
industries,
so
health
care
is
the
largest
health
care
and
social
assistance
by
far
followed
by
retail
trade,
professional
services
manufacturing
food
service,
education,
administrative
support,
waste
management.
So
it's
an
interesting
name.
I
And
then
how
does
that
reflect
in
our
median
income?
Then?
Well
in
2000
we
used
to
be
a
little
bit
higher
than
the
metro
and
in
2010
we
fell
behind
a
little
bit
behind
henneman
county
in
the
region,
but
as
we've
grown
in
2020,
we
seem
to
be
kind
of
that
same
amount
a
little
bit
lower.
So
it
seems
to
be
tracking
with
the
metro
rather
than
lagging
behind.
I
And
so
you
have
your
income,
you
have
how
much
it
costs
and
then
really
what,
when
the
rubber
hits
the
road
it's,
how
much
are
you
percentage
of
your
income?
Are
you
paying
for
housing
and,
if
you're,
paying
more
than
30
of
your
income
for
housing,
you're
considered
housing,
cost
burden
you're
burdened
by
how
much
is
going
into
your
your
rent
or
your
mortgage
and
all
the
associated
living
costs?
I
I
You
50
left
for
your
transportation
for
food
for
health
care.
It
goes
quickly,
and
so,
when
we're
tracking
that
median
value
of
our
single
family
homes,
we
it's
kind
of
lagging
data
here
with
our
housing
cost
burden,
will
be
interesting
to
see
what,
if
any,
impact
that
that
increase
will
have
will
incomes
rise
appropriately?
I
You
know
it's
one
of
those
things
that
will
continue
to
monitor
and
track
and
make
sure
you
know
we
we
see
the
need
already
for
our
rental
households,
and
so
it's
our
programs
are
hopefully
making
some
inroads
in
that
the
good
thing
with
our
ownership,
though,
as
of
now,
we
haven't
seen
any
issues
with
that
rising
cost.
We
haven't
seen
foreclosure,
so
we
haven't
had
to
worry
too
much
about
doing
foreclosure
assistance
because
we
just
aren't
seeing
a
ton
of
them.
I
G
I
It
to
be
nothing,
but
you
know
they're
when
we're
prioritizing.
So
looking
at
the
programs
that
we
provide
so
hra
administers
housing
choice,
vouchers,
their
section
8
program,
it's
one
of
the
larger
programs
they
have
650
households
were
served
in
the
last
year.
529
are
tenant-based
vouchers,
whereas
111
are
portability
vouchers.
Those
are
people
moving
into
bloomington
that
are
served
by
other.
They
had
vouchers,
28
project-based
vouchers,
those
kind
of
run
with
the
units
that
are
created.
I
It's
the
project
that
it's
based
on
then
we've
issued
36
new
vouchers
in
the
last
year
and
then
some
interesting
new
vouchers
that
were
available,
foster
youth
for
independence.
We've
received
10
vouchers,
so
those
are
at
risk.
Youth
to
make
prevent
homelessness,
essentially
give
them
a
voucher
and
then
similarly,
there's
veterans,
affair,
support,
housing
or
vash
is
the
acronym
that
are
targeted
toward
veterans.
I
Then
over
another
190
households
were
served
through
our
house:
housing
stability,
emergency
housing
and
rental
utility
assistance.
Some
interesting
information
about
that
eighty-two
percent
were
bypack
and
a
hundred
percent
of
participants
were
extremely
low
income
or
low
income.
So
that's
making
fifty
percent
area
median
income
or
less.
I
We
also
started
to
do
homeless
outreach
with
saint
stephen's
human
services.
They
were
making
sure
they
were
going
out
and
working
with
the
city
working
with
our
police
department,
working
with
our
social
workers,
working
with
public
health,
environmental
health
to
make
sure
that
they're
doing
outright,
reaching
and
dressing
issues
where
people
didn't
have
adequate
housing
that
they
were
living
in
spots
that
weren't
fit
for
human
habitation.
So
they
engaged
with
38
individuals
and
we're
serving
53.
I
I
Then
there
are
other
programs
that
we
focus
on
ownership
so
that
really
focused
on
housing,
stability
and
getting
people
into
housing,
then
ownership.
We
focus,
we
provide
the
rental
homes
for
future
home
buyers.
This
is
a
unique
program
where
we
have
21
properties
that
we
manage
and
families
live
there
and
part
of
what
they
pay.
I
believe,
goes
into
an
escrow
account
and
then
they
can
use
that
money
when
they
leave
the
program
to
purchase
a
home.
So
part
of
that
is
basically
saving
for
that
down
payment.
I
We
also
contracted
with
the
minnesota
home
ownership
center
and
they
provide
a
wide
range
of
services,
but
they
do
homebuyer
education
courses.
They
served
44
houses
for
us
homeownership,
advising
services
where
they
serve
32
households.
They
do
financial
wellness
advising
with
22
households
and
then
some
of
that
foreclosure
prevention
service,
that
nine
households.
So
hopefully
that's
part
of
why
our
foreclosures
are
lower
and
stabilized
and
not
increasing,
but
also
we
provide
a
home
improvement
loan
program.
So
many
people
might
have
heard
of
this,
but
we
provide
over
630
000
in
loans
last
year
alone.
I
We
administer
the
help
program.
I
like
that
acronym
housing
environmental
loan
program
and
then
there's
also
a
brush
with
kindness
program
that
we
partner
with
habitat
for
humanity.
Then
there
we
also
have
our
housing
improvement
area,
which
we
just
recently
revised
and
adopted
the
policy,
and
I
think
we
had
an
applicant.
I
And
so
I
won't
go
too
much
into
new
development.
I
think
glenn
thoroughly
went
through
that,
but
this
gives
you
kind
of
where
we're
at
with
housing
production,
and
you
can
see
that
affordable
component
really
not
much
there
before
2019
and
2019
is
when
we
adopted
that
opportunity
housing
ordinance
and
have
a
requirement
for
nine
percent
of
the
units
to
be
have
an
affordability
component.
I
And
then
here's
a
map-
this
is
pulled
from
interactive
map,
that
the
public
can
access
where
they
can.
Click
on
these
points
and
kind
of
pull
up
more
information
about
the
different
developments
and
it
pulls
up
what
that
affordability
component
is
so
glenn
was
talking
about
his
cheat
sheet
and
this
is
kind
of
what
it
looks
like,
but
we
can
track
against
our
met
council
affordability
goals.
I
I
But
you
can
see
that
in
that
60
area
meeting
income,
I
think
we
question
was
asked:
where
were
we
at
with
that?
444
units
have
either
opened
or
under
construction
or
approved?
In
fact,
we've
had
over
200
actually
open,
which
is
well
above
our
goal
for
the
60
ami
units.
Now
we're
making
progress
on
that
50
on
where
we
are
with
open
under
construction,
are
approved,
we're
making
progress,
but
at
that
30
percent
very
extremely
low
income.
I
I
So
just
some
pictures
I
went
out
and
took
here's
hayden
grove
that
you
saw
under
the
district
apartments.
This
is
in
our
pen.
American
district
hayden
grove
is
on
portland
avenue
near
the
the
library
yeah
penn
american,
with
the
district
department,
not
the
district
departments,
district
departments,
the
air
apartments.
This
was
on
their
website,
so
I
just
thought
it
kind
of
looked
cool
a
little
more
interesting
than
just
the
hotel
outside.
I
But
this
is
what
the
units
actually
look
like
with
the
conversion
and
then
lindale
flats,
this
opened
at
90th
and
lindale,
and
so
I
can
jump
into
what's
next,
so
we're
looking
at
single
resident
occupancy
standards
looking
at
so
units
that
maybe
don't
have
a
bathroom
or
maybe
they
have
a
bathroom
but
don't
have
a
kitchen.
They
have
more
shared
facilities
to
make
it
more
affordable
because
they're
smaller
kind
of
micro
units
and
what
would
that
look
like
in
bloomington?
Is
that
something
we
should
or
could
explore
it's
kind
of
just
a
research
project.
I
That's
on
our
list.
Hennepin
county
they're
really
pushing
for
this
because
they
find
that
in
their
shelters,
I'm
forgetting
the
exact
statistic,
but
something
like
70
or
80
percent
of
people
who
who
are
accessing
their
emergency
shelters
have
income.
They
have
a
job,
they
just
don't
have
a
place
to
live.
So
if
we
need
those
deeply
affordable,
those
30
or
lower
units,
there
might
be
some
opportunity
with
a
single
residency
occupancy.
I
We
have.
We
were
talking
about
8
200,
humboldt
going
through
penn
town
homes
and
solo
apartments.
Those
were
all
proof
projects
that
we're
hoping
we'll
move
forward
and
then
our
home
buyer
mortgage
assistance
program,
which
I
believe
we're
using
arp
funds
to
do,
and
this
gets
to
kind
of
that,
maybe
that
ownership
gap-
maybe
we
can
addre
make
inroads
in
that
with
this
program.
I
A
J
Madam
chair,
just
one
thing
that
when
we
were
kind
of
going
over
like
with
the
noaa
properties,
did
we
have
we
talked
or
has
there
been
talk
about?
Maybe
doing
some
incentives
for
those
properties
to
kind
of
keep
them
from
maybe
falling
under
that?
You
know
redevelopment
or
anything
like
that,
just
kind
of
because
I
do
know
the
value
of
those.
I
Yeah
and
as
you
recall,
with
the
blooming
meadows,
that
was
a
property
that
we
were
able
to
intervene
at.
They
are
able
to
access
some
incentives
of
the
opportunity,
housing
ordinance
if
they're
able
to
preserve
some
units
and
but
yeah.
I
think
it
really
becomes
a
funding
stream
issue
and
it's
they're
expensive
and
it
goes
quickly
and
they're
private
brokers
that
flip
them
so
or
you
know
we
might
not
even
hear
of
a
sale.
So
it's
hard
to
get
in
on
the
front
end,
but
yeah.
I
We
are
kind
of
working
at
how
we
preserve
that,
and
there
are
some
programs
that
we
are
exploring
to
maybe
further
incentivize
that
that
hopefully
kind
of
retain
those
units,
but
yeah
it's
a
tough
one
because
yeah
the
market,
we
hasn't
cooled
at
all
for
purchasing
and
flipping.
So
we
have
our
tenant
protection
ordinance
to
hopefully
kind
of
at
least
mitigate
when
that
does
happen,
mass
displacement
but
yeah,
hopefully,
maybe
erica-
has
more.
She
can
share.
E
On
that,
thank
you
mike.
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
we
do
participate
when
I
say
we
myself,
mike
in
a
noaa
working
group
as
it
was
cited
in
our
work
plan,
that's
more
of
a
regional
approach,
and
I
know
yesterday
evening
the
council
brought
up
about
bloomington
bearing
responsibility
or
bearing
everything.
This
one
is
more
of
a
regional
approach,
because
this
is
not
specific
to
bloomington.
However,
we
do
care,
we
are
at
the
table,
but
it's
something
that
we're
seeing
that
I
think
minnesota
housing.
A
C
You,
madam
chair,
to
that
point.
I
mean
it's
been
a
few
years
now,
but
there
was
that
noah.
Excuse
me
I
for
the
record.
I
took
a
coven
test
earlier
today
and
I
tested
negative.
I
think
it's
just
my
springtime
allergies,
but
it's
been
it's
been
a
few
years
now,
but
there
was
that
mike.
You
know
what
I'm
talking
about
the
the
matrix.
That's
the
word.
I
was
looking.
I
At
yes,
so
we
kind
of
strategies
yep
and
we
transitioned
that
to
our
bloomington
housing
action
team
and
we're
kind
of
continuing
to
meet
sporadically.
We
saw
with
pandemic.
It
was
much
harder
to
engage
with
virtual
meetings
and
kind
of
so
we're
trying
to
kind
of
come
up
with
a
schedule
to
re-engage
and
kind
of
some
of
these
issues
here
that
we'll
be
getting
into
throughout
the
year,
we'll
be
engaging
that
group
more
on,
because
what
ended
up
happening
was,
as
we
got
the
opportunity,
housing
orients
passed,
the
tenant
protection
ordinance.
I
I
C
And
I
I
raise
that
mostly
because
I
mean
obviously
like
I
said
it's
been
a
few
years,
but
I
I
think
there
are
probably
are
still
some
strategies
that
were
on
that
matrix
that
that
may
be
worth
looking
at
one
of
the
thoughts
that
I
had,
particularly
as
we've
talked
about
you
know.
On
the
city
council,
we've
talked
about
single-family
home
flippers
as
well.
C
But
the
right
of
first
refusal
is,
I
think,
probably
due
for
a
comeback
at
some
point
in
the
not
too
distant
future,
and
then
the
other
comment
I
just
I
just
wanted
to
make.
I
know
we
have
probably
just
gotten
so
used
to
the
numbers
now,
but
you
know
when
I
mean
when
you
see
all
the
numbers
with
the
affordable
housing
production
that
we've
done,
it
really
really
is
impressive
and
that
that
bar
graph
you
had
of
where
things
were
before
2019,
I
mean
it.
C
J
I
I
J
Really,
you
know
we
did
push
a
few
of
those
out,
and
so
I
think
this
is
a
way
to
kind
of
bring
some
of
that
back
the
ability
to
own
a
property,
even
though
you
may
not
own
the
land
that
it's
on
you
rent
the
land,
you
own
the
property,
but
you
have
that
community
around
you.

Sorry,
sorry-
and
I
I
maybe
should
have
asked
ms
coleman
if
she
was
going
to
bring

you
all
know
from
my

work
at
the
state
legislature
and
of
interest
and
note
to
this
body
is
that
the
legislation
that
the
city
of
bloomington
has
requested
regard
that
would
expand
the
the
hra
board.
