the

HRA

Meeting
I

like
to

Redevelopment
Authority
in
and
for
the
city
of
Bloomington
I
opposed

The
motion
passes
five
to
zero.
A
B
You
chair,
huhim,
excuse
me
Erica,
Coleman,
HR
administrator,
so
what
we
have
before
you
this
evening
is
the
proposed
2023,
cdbg
budget
or
Community
Development
block
grant.
We
would
be
looking
for
approval
of
the
proposed
2023
cdbg
annual
action
plan
and
budget
to
recommend
approval
to
city
council,
and
so
the
city
of
Bloomington
became
a
Community
Development
block
grant
or
cdbg
entitlement
community
in
1988..
B
B
Each
year
the
city
receives
cdbg
allocation
from
HUD
and
is
approved
by
the
HRA
board
and
city
council
through
the
cdbg
mutual
agreement.
The
city,
the
city,
administers
this
grant
through
the
HRA.
The
grant
is
used
for
a
variety
of
activities
each
year.
The
activities
are
selected
by
the
HRA
board
and
city
council
through
an
annual
budget
process
for
the
program.
That's
the
process
we
have
begun
here.
B
The
planned
activities
serve
many
low
and
moderate
income
households
and
overall,
at
least
80
percent
of
the
grant,
will
be
expended
on
activities
for
lower
moderate
income
households
in
Bloomington
using
the
citizen
participation
process.
The
draft
plan
is
currently
available
for
a
30-day
public
review
and
comment
period,
which
is
from
March
23rd
through
April
22nd.
B
B
E
A
A
A
So
it's
not
just
limited,
as
it
has
been
in
past
years,
so
I
see
it
being
the
availability
being
throughout
the
city
of
Bloomington
for
many
different
resources
and
I
just
want
to
commend
City
staff
and
administrator
Coleman
for
your
work
on
this
and
and
in
creating
this
plan.
So
thank
you
with
that.
A
A
B
Thank
you,
chair
huhim.
So
in
2021
the
HRA
board
approved
a
three-year
strategic
plan
that
does
sunset
this
year.
Staff
in
the
HRA
board
will
discuss
we'll,
discuss
the
information
and
the
formation
of
that
plan.
The
work
items
completed
and
the
2023
approved
work
plan
as
a
strategic
plan
is
ending
this
year
and
the
HRA
moves
under
the
Bloomington
tomorrow,
together
strategic
plan
and
so
I
do
have
a
presentation
for
you
here,
foreign
so
just
to
ground
us.
B
And
so
this
is
the
lens
in
which
all
of
our
work
is
done
and
the
parameters
in
which
we
do
that
work
in
the
city
of
Bloomington,
so
I
just
wanted
to
provide
just
a
little
bit
of
information
that
about
the
work
that's
been
done.
So
in
2017
there
was
a
comprehensive
housing
analysis
study
that
was
completed
by
an
outside
consultant.
It
was
Maxfield.
B
Now
then,
in
2018,
the
90-day
tenant
protection
ordinance
was
passed
as
well
as
the
Minnesota
Governor's
housing
task
force
up
more
places
to
call
home
report
was
released
around
the
state
of
housing
in
Minnesota
and
what
kind
of
things
can
be
done
to
allow
for
more
housing,
affordability
in
2019,
the
opportunity
housing
ordinance
was
adopted
by
the
city
council
and
our
comprehensive
plan
was
adopted
on
August
5th
2019..
This
is
a
a
plan
that
is
required
by
the
Metropolitan
Council.
B
B
You
also
had
a
new
administrator
start
in
2020
and
we
did
have
to
focus
more
efforts
on
housing
stabilization
around
things
that
were
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic.
They
were
not
caused
by
it,
but
they
were
exacerbated
by
the
pandemic
in
2021
was
when
the
HRA
board
and
staff
moved
together
to
provide
the
three-year
strategic
plan
so
2021-2023
and
the
HRA
housing
report
was
released,
and
this
was
the
first
time
a
housing
report
was
released
in
quite
a
few
years.
B
B
B
There
were
three
sub-strategies
to
this
strategy
and
underneath
each
of
these
bullet
points
is
the
work
that
has
been
done,
so
this
is
taking
our
2021
2022
and
the
work
from
2020
that
was
identified
in
our
annual
housing
report
and
just
high
level
highlighting
how
that
work
achieved.
Our
strategic,
our
strategic
plan,
priorities,
excuse
me,
and
so
in
advancing
housing
and
economic
priorities
with
regional
state
and
National
policy
makers.
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
we
do
have
legislative
priorities
for
the
city
that
we
do
support.
B
B
We
did
pass
special
Tiff
legislation,
so
this
was
around
700
American
to
allow
for
a
pathway
for
redevelopment
that
the
Port
Authority
is
leading
that
process.
Currently,
that's
a
city-owned
lot
at
700
American.
We
are
part
of
the
Regional
Housing
policy
working
group
and
this
comes
into
play
with
not
just
being
Bloomington
by
itself.
But
what
does
it
look
like
for
regionally
for
this?
Seven
County
region
this
metro
area
for
constituents
and
for
our
citizens
to
be
able
to
navigate
and
access
what
they
need
towards
housing,
affordability.
B
We
are
a
part
of
the
regional
down
payment
assistance,
best
practices
group.
This
group
actually
is
being
led
by
Minnesota
homeownership
Center
Minnesota,
homeownership
Center
did
present
to
the
HRA
board
and
the
city
council
back
in
2021
to
help
inform
our
down
payment
assistance
program
that
we
do
have
right
now
and
then,
first
generation
home
buyer
down
payment
assistance.
B
The
city
of
Bloomington
is
a
support
organization
on
that
legislation
that
is
currently
at
the
Capitol
moving
through,
with
the
request
for
specific
down
payment
assistance
for
first
generation
home
buyers,
build
strategic
Partnerships
within
the
economic
ecosystem.
I
provided
just
a
little
bit
of
a
snapshot
of
a
picture
of
what
the
economic
ecosystem
is
just
to
show
that
housing
and
accommodations
is
only
one
piece,
as
we
all
know
that
we
live
that,
but
being
able
to
see
a
visual
around
that
and
I
just
want
to
call
out
the
Bloomington
housing
action
team.
B
B
But
these
meetings
are
moving
from
meeting
during
the
day
to
meeting
in
the
evening
to
making
sure
that
we
are
accessible
for
our
partners
and
stakeholders
that
also
participate
in
that
group
and
then
the
homeownership
Opportunity
Alliance,
which
is
by
the
Minnesota
homeownership
Center
and
Wells
Fargo.
That
is
a
public-private
partnership
around
best
practices
to
accessible
housing.
B
This
is
the
project
where
we
did
discharge
a
racially
restrictive
covenant,
language
on
the
HRA
owned
property
that
we
had
here
in
Bloomington
next
is
engagement,
transparency,
so
increasing
awareness
in
community
stakeholder
and
internal
and
external
partner
engagement
I
want
to
highlight
that
we
did
adapt.
Our
approach
by
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
was
the
HRA
board
meetings
were
not
always
available
and
streamed,
and
now
they're
available
on
the
city's
YouTube
channel
regularly
to
be
viewed.
We
did
work,
we
do
work
with
office
of
racial
Equity,
inclusion
and
belonging.
B
We
have
culturally
specific
marketing
of
resources
and
engagement,
and
then
we
did
have
an
eviction
prevention
Clinic.
We
had
a
Housing
Resource
Fair.
We
are
part
of
the
neighborhood
watch
event
that
just
happened
with
the
Bloomington
Police,
so
this
is
just
showing
that
we're
engaging
and
collaborating
more
through
a
lens
of
equity
and
racial
Equity,
but
also
just
as
being
Bloomington,
together
right
and
then.
Lastly,
in
exploring
agile
methods
of
collaboration
communication,
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
highlight
is
Service
Coordination
and
referrals.
B
Bridging
is
one
of
the
non-profits
that
we
have
supported
with
administrative
support,
but
we
were
not
a
referring
agency
as
the
HRA
and
we
are
in
the
process
of
becoming
a
referring
agency.
As
the
HRA
and
then
bridge
to
benefits
is
through
Minnesota
Children's
defense
fund.
They
actually
have
a
online
tool
called
Bridge
the
benefits,
and
so
it
is
a
tool
that
anybody
can
go
on
there
and
fill
out
the
information
without
putting
in
their
personal
information
but
find
out
what
other
things
are
they
eligible
for?
B
What
else
is
in
their
Community
to
assist
with
them?
I
do
want
to
highlight
that
we
are
engaging
with
employee
resource
groups
and
Community
groups
and
other
government
entities
to
get
more
feedback
and
more
information,
but
also
that
we're
not
doing
this
alone.
We
are
working
together
in
a
lot
of
these
initiatives
for
people
to
call
Bloomington,
home
housing
creation,
preservation
and
Rehabilitation.
B
There's
a
lot
that
we
do
here.
But
what
I
want
to
call
out
is
the
coordination
and
the
collaboration
that
it
takes
for
us
to
to
carry
our
work
forward
and
so
under
enhanced
offerings
and
sources
for
rehabilitation
and
renewal.
I
just
want
to
highlight
environmental
health
are
a
brush
with
kindness
program
that
we
help
support
those
that
need
additional
help
through
Habitat
for
Humanity
that
came
straight
from
environmental
health.
B
Environmental
health
staff
do
are
the
code
enforcement
housing
code
enforcement
staff
and
they
were
coming
across
residents
that
just
needed
more
help,
and
they
did
not
have
the
tools
as
the
regulatory
body
to
be
able
to
provide
those
tools,
and
they
brought
this
information
to
the
HRA
and
they
said:
can
we
do
this?
Can
we
look
at
a
pilot
program
to
partner
to
provide
these
types
of
forgivable
loans
for
households
that
qualify
where
we
don't
have
to
continue
to
write
violations
or
assess
them?
B
That's
how
we
got
a
brush
with
kindness
and
then
our
help
loan.
That
also
was
environmental
health
saying
this
is
a
great
product.
But
can
you
look
at
it
a
little
bit
differently?
Can
we
make
referrals
and
that's
how
we
got
to
the
revisions
of
the
help
loan
planning,
the
accessory
dwelling
unit,
missing
middle
single
fam,
single
and
two
family
zoning
standards?
That
planning
is
coming
from
with
Planning
and
Zoning.
B
That
is
to
help
us
do
our
work
as
the
HRA
when
we
are
looking
at
housing
creation,
when
we
are
looking
at
promoting
development
and
Redevelopment
and
renewal,
that
is
us
working
with
planning
of
them.
Making
those
recommendations
and
ordinance
changes
in
our
amendments
building
and
inspections
actually
worked
with
us
to
put
together
an
HRA
permit.
An
HRA
permit
is
one
that,
when
people
are
using
the
home
improvement
loan
program,
instead
of
them
having
to
have
different
inspection
inspectors
come
out
and
whether
the
in
the
work
required
pull
the
permit
or
not.
B
The
4D
program
that
we
hear
about
which
has
to
do
with
a
smaller
properties
that
are
affordable
what
we
would
call
naturally
acquired
affordable
housing
and
it's
a
it's
a
4D
classification.
It's
a
tax
classification.
It's
completely
through
our
assessing
division.
That
is
not
the
HRA
necessarily
doing
that
on
our
own
or
leading
that
by
any
means,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
what
I
went
through
very
quickly.
Outside
of
sustainability
is
the
other
divisions
in
community
development
in
which
we
are
a
part
of
I,
can't
skip
over
our
Port
Authority.
B
Lastly,
homes
Within
Reach
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
they
have
done
five
properties
between
2021
and
2023,
with
the
funding
that
we
have
provided.
We
provide
funding
through
cdbg
every
year
for
them
to
acquire
and
rehabilitate
at
least
two
houses
in
Bloomington,
and
so
they
acquire
the
homes
they
rehabilitate
them,
and
then
they
sell
them
to
an
income.
Qualified
family
and
the
homes
remain
in
the
the
land
remains
in
the
land,
trust.
B
So
this
graphic
is
actually
a
graphic.
That
is
one
example
of
missing
middle
housing
and
I
decided
to
give
a
graphic
because
we
we
mentioned
missing
middle
housing,
but
a
lot
of
people
are
like
what
is
that
and,
as
you
can
see,
this
graphic
shows
accessory
dwelling
units
single
family
units,
duplexes,
triplexes,
Courtyard,
Apartments
and
whatnot.
I
will
be
clear
that
a
triplex
in
the
city
of
Bloomington
is
a
multi-family
unit.
It
is
it's
not
a
single
family
or
two
family.
B
B
So
not
only
did
we
have
down
payment
assistance
that
we
have
launched
as
a
pilot
program
to
inform
a
permanent
down
payment
assistance
program,
but
we
also
made
it
zero
percent
interest,
and
so
that
again
is
through
that
lens
of
equity
and
inclusion
of
strengthening
racial
equity
and
looking
at
our
values
and
saying
when
we're
doing
something,
are
we
looking
at
all
the
components
of
it?
We
offer
our
journey
to
home
ownership
and
home
stretch
courses.
We
have
approval
for
the
housing
Choice
voucher,
homeownership
program,
so
we
are
still
moving
through
the
process.
B
This
is
where
someone
who
is
on
the
housing,
Choice
Voucher
Program,
using
that
voucher
for
rent,
can
work
towards
self-sufficiency
through
education
and
purchase
a
home
on
their
own
and
still
use
that
housing
Choice
voucher
if
needed,
for
their
mortgage.
So
that's
creating
that
pathway
to
affordable
home
ownership.
B
We
also
increase
support
and
Service
delivery
with
underserved
populations.
We
have
our
whole
homelessness
response
and
Prevention
Services
that
was
funded
and
approved
by
the
city
council.
Through
American
Rescue
plan
act
dollars.
We
have
a
partnership
with
Bloomington
Public
Schools
for
emergency
re-housing,
and
then
we
have
our
foreclosure
prevention,
assistance
and
counseling
services,
where
we
partner
with
Minnesota
ownership
Center
for
Bloomington
residents
to
receive
their
assistance
and
or
counseling
to
help
preserve
them
in
their
home.
If
they're
hitting
a
hard
time
through
the
covid-19
pandemic,.
B
The
last
strategy
was
operational
efficiency,
and
this
is
prioritization
of
resources
and
process
Improvement
for
future
success.
So
here
is
where
the
HRA
assessment,
which
became
the
HRA
Port
Authority
assessment,
came
out
of.
We
were
looking
to
enhance
our
organizational
and
governance
structure
for
high
quality
service
delivery.
We
are
integrating
technology,
we
have
a
customer
experience,
survey
that
we
released
and
launched
and
it's
still
open.
B
We
just
we
keep
that
going
where
anyone
that
is
had
interactions
with
the
HRA
or
our
programs
can
take
that
survey
and
give
us
feedback,
and
so
that's
a
part
of
our
continuous
Improvement
and
then
in
terms
of
our
create
team
cohesion.
We
had
our
first
ever
HRA
board
and
Planning
Commission
meeting
back
in
2021.
B
That
was
the
first
time
we
hadn't
had
a
concurrent
meeting
like
that
and
as
I
just
noted
earlier,
all
the
different
items
with
planning
was
really
neat
and
very
important
to
be
able
to
have
those
discussions,
those
open
discussions
in
a
concurrent
meeting
and
then,
lastly,
strengthen
financials
and
operating
policies.
We
did
a
lot
of
operational
policy.
B
Streamlining
the
board
had
did
approve
quite
a
few
updates
to
different
policies,
but
then
we're
looking
at
our
data
retention
with
our
integrated
technology
and
then
coordination
of
resources
to
support
the
work
focus,
and
so
that
is
working
with
different
divisions,
departments,
but
also
our
community
stakeholders
and
so
moving
forward
2023.
The
work
plan
that
you
have
approved
for
2023
does
focus
on
our
housing,
Continuum
and
or
ecosystem.
Those
words
are
somewhat
interchangeable,
and
so
the
five
areas
that
were
in
the
2023
work
plan
that
was
approved
were
operational.
B
Housing,
stability,
homeownership,
Pathways,
housing,
preservation,
housing
creation,
we'll
probably
never
move
away
from
that,
because
that
embodies
the
housing
Continuum
in
those
five
topical
areas
for
our
organization
and
so
in.
Looking
at
the
housing
Continuum
I
wanted
to
show
that,
even
though
it
appears
as
a
straight
line,
it's
not
anyone
can
end
up
at
any
point
in
this
Continuum
at
any
point
in
their
life
or
go
back
to
it,
and
so
it's
it's
these
different
components.
B
These
different
symptoms
or
factors
that
definitely
impact
somebody
being
able
to
stay
in
their
home,
obtain
stable
homes
or
be
able
to
purchase
a
home.
So
I
just
wanted
to
show
this,
because
all
of
these
things
as
I
went
through
high
level
of
those
slides
we're
doing
every
last
one
of
these.
Somehow
we
are
involved
in
doing
every
last.
One
of
these
found
Services
faced
eviction,
increased
income
stability
and
mind
you.
B
Increased
income
doesn't
necessarily
mean
that
we're
increasing
people's
income,
but
if
their
income
is
increased
or
if
they
completed
an
education,
then
they
fall
within
certain
brackets
of
whether
community
housing,
affordable
rental,
affordable
home
ownership
or
even
Market
Value
Rental.
So
somehow
our
programs
policies,
Services
coordination
and
referrals
touch
on
every
last.
One
of
these
topics
along
the
housing
continuum
for
our
Bloomington
residents
current
past
and
future.
B
B
This
was
the
document
that
they
came
out
with
because
it
takes
all
of
these
different
actors,
tools,
plans,
initiatives
to
reach
the
final
product,
and
so
in
the
blue.
Those
are
the
big
external
forces
at
the
top
of
the
screen
political,
economic
infrastructure,
social
Innovation.
We
do
Place
some
roles
in
there,
you'll
see
words
like
zoning
or
restrictive
land
use.
Those
things
do
impact
housing.
B
B
Incomes
haven't
kept
up,
there's
different
factors,
whether
you're,
renting
or
you're,
owning
whether
you're,
trying
to
rent
or
you're
trying
to
own
or
whether
you
are
trying
to
just
maintain
those
current
conditions,
truly
impact
that,
but
then
we
get
down
to
actors
in
the
gold,
color
and
tools
in
the
purple,
and
this
is
where
the
HRA
does
do
quite
a
bit
of
its
work:
we're
not
necessarily
regulatory,
but
we
answer
to
regulatory,
whether
it
is
federal
state
Regional.
Where
does
our
funding
come
from
Financial
again?
Where
does
our
funding
come
from?
B
But
then
in
the
purple
with
tools,
ownership,
rental,
construction,
financing,
supportive
supporting
service
funding?
We
literally
have
a
role
in
every
last
one
of
those
in
Bloomington
every
last
one,
and
then
under
that
you'll
see,
is
the
kind
of
reddish
orangish
color
plans,
projects
and
initiatives.
This
is
our
building
and
inspections,
our
zoning
and
planning.
This
is
our
environmental
health,
but
then
it's
also
our
office
of
racial
Equity,
inclusion
and
belonging,
and
it
is
also
our
community
outreach
and
engagement.
B
What
are
those
numbers
for
a
family
of
four
eighty
percent
Ami
is:
is
around
ninety
thousand
dollars
a
little
bit
over
and
for
a
family
of
four
sixty
percent
area.
Median
income
is
around
like
seventy
thousand
dollars,
sixty
seventy
thousand
dollars,
but
when
we
are
focused
on
deeper
affordability,
when
we're
focused
on
that
50,
30
or
below,
that
is
where
we
are
looking
at
different
options
and
opportunities
to
provide
for
decent,
dignified,
stable
housing
for
those
that
are
living
in
Bloomington
or
would
like
to
live
in
Bloomington.
B
And
that's
where
we
really
look
to
our
partners,
not
only
in
the
city
for
the
different
levers
that
can
be
pulled.
Zoning
planning,
environmental
health
code
enforcement,
Building
Inspections,
which
also
enforce
the
State
Building
Code,
but
then
also
we're
looking
at
our
non-profit
Partners
Habitat
for
Humanity
and
the
West
Hennepin,
affordable
housing,
Land
Trust,
who
focus
on
50
Area,
median
income
borrowers
and
below.
That
is
how
we
get
our
work
done,
and
that
is
how
we
do
it.
B
So
this
slide
is
online
and
if
anybody
would
like
to
just
take
time
to
look
at
it,
you
can
but
also
on
our
HRA
resources
webpage.
The
link
to
the
Minnesota
Governor's
housing
task
force.
Web
page
and
report
is
there.
So
you
have
more
information
to
kind
of
dig
through
this
tons
of
information.
Here
and
then,
lastly,
as
I
said,
we
are
part
of
Bloomington
tomorrow,
together
as
we
are
sunsetting,
our
2021-2023
strategic
plan
and
I
just
want
to
remind
that.
B
The
mission
statement
is
to
cultivate
and
enduring
and
remarkable
Community
where
people
want
to
be
and
to
cultivate
would
be
to
build,
preserve,
develop
and
redevelop
or
renew,
and
that
is
what
we
are
doing
here
and
so
with
that.
I
am
open
for
any
questions,
comments
or
discussion
about
all
the
work
here
that
we
do
in
the
HRA.
A
D
I'm
sure
I
would
just
like
to
say
I
appreciate
it
appreciated
it
being
so
comprehensive
and
so
complete
I
mean
it
covered.
Basically
everything
there
may
be
questions
but
I
like
the
fact
that
it
was
very
clear.
So
thank
you
because
I
know
it
probably
took
a
little
bit
of
work
for
this.
So
thank
you.
A
I
would
just
like
to
State
a
couple
things
that
kind
of
stuck
out
to
me
when
I
went
reviewed
it
and
then
going
through
it
with
the
slides,
was
you
know,
I
guess
seeing
how
all
the
Departments
within
the
city
work
together
to
create.
You
know
what
pretty
much
what
we
do
here,
how
we
all
have
to
work
together,
I
think
that
was
very
eye-opening.
I
think
that
clarification
is
really
important
not
only
to
our
board
but
I.
Think
to
Residents
I.
A
A
A
It
was
really
an
eye-opening
experience,
I
think
for
all
of
us
and
really
what
each
other
does
and
it
was
kind
of,
and
what
we
can
do
like
the
future
and-
and
you
know,
cluster
housing
and
all
these
things
that
came
up
in
these
conversations
I
mean
we
were
dreaming
big
and
we
were
allowed
to
and
and
I
appreciated
that
space
to
do
that.
So
I
just
want
to
kind
of
touch
on
those
couple
things
and
bring
them
forward
and
kind
of
note
them
that
you
know
I
think
this
is
really
important.
A
A
D
D
D
We
didn't
necessarily
understand
how
if
we
worked
together,
we
got
a
better
result
rather
than
you
know,
planning
was
over
here
and
we
were
over
there
and
we
worked
with
them
when
we
had
to
more
than
like,
while
we
were
trying
to
get
somewhere
so
I
love,
I,
love
that
this
now
is
showing
a
collaborative
thing
that
we
really
are
working
together,
that
it's
not
a
bunch
of
separate
City
departments.
It's
one
one
unit,
it's
one
Bloomington,
so
I
think
that's
great
yeah.
B
B
So
I
do
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
really
actually
mention
that
that,
as
departments
as
divisions,
we
have
all
worked
together.
That's
the
only
way
we've
been
able
to
get
things
done,
but
it
hasn't
been
brought
to
you
and
I
think
that's.
The
important
piece
is
to
bring
it
not
only
to
our
boards
and
commissions,
but
also
to
our
our
public,
our
residents
so
that
they
they
know
that
that
is
what's
happening.
A
And
any
other
comments,
questions
I
would
just
like
to
add
again
that
thank
you
for
this
time.
Thank
you
for
creating
this
I
know.
It
was
probably
quite
a
bit
of
work,
but
it
was
very
educational.
Something
I
will
be
resourcing
in
the
future,
because
there's
a
lot
to
dive
into
still
so
don't
be
afraid
if
you
get
an
email
from
me
here
and
there
with
questions
other
than
that,
if
there
are
no
other
comments
or
questions
regarding
that
item,
we
will
be
moving
on.
Yes,
commissioner,
Wooten.
Sorry.
C
Thanks
the
only
point
I
was
going
to
make
is:
is
I
hear
about
the
collaborative
efforts
of
of
our
city
government
departments,
which
I
you
can't
put
anything
like
this
together,
unless
you
actually
do
work
together
from
a
community
perspective,
a
person
who
actually
lives
in
the
community.
It
gives
me
great
hope,
and
also,
as
we
were
talking
about
earlier,
is
a
sidebar,
a
sense
of
rebuilding
community
in
that
old
antonym
of
it
takes
a
village.
