Description
Minneapolis City Council Study Session
A
Good
morning,
everyone
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
today.
This
is
a
study
session
of
the
Minneapolis
City
Council
on
the
issue
of
housing.
Stability
study
sessions
are
a
chance
for
council
members
to
come
and
hear
from
our
staff
about
a
deep
dive
into
a
policy
issue.
That's
important
in
our
city,
and
we
all
know
that
the
issue
of
housing,
affordability
and
stability
in
our
neighborhood
is
a
huge
issue
for
many
of
our
constituents.
Today
we
have
a
lengthy
and
thorough
presentation
from
an
amazing
team
of
staff.
A
Who've
been
working
really
hard
over
the
past
many
years
on
a
number
of
issues
related
to
housing
stability.
We
have
so
much
to
cover
that
I.
Think
I
will
just
jump
right
in
with
that.
We
may
see
councilmembers
coming
and
going
as
their
schedule
allows
again.
This
is
a
special
meeting
of
the
City
Council.
It's
not
a
regularly
scheduled
committee
meeting
or
anything
so
I
know
this
is
something
that
is
really
important
to
all
of
my
colleagues.
Many
of
us
have
been
working
on
housing
issues
in
one
way
or
another
throughout
this
term.
A
B
Thank
you
so
I
will
be
presenting
today.
I'm
Andrea,
Brennan,
director
of
housing
policy
and
development
and
I
will
be
presenting
today,
along
with
my
colleagues,
Michael
Peterson
economic
research,
analyst
in
the
housing
division
of
C,
ped
and
Brian
Schaeffer
principle.
Project
coordinator
in
the
long-range
planning
division
of
C
ped
Michael
is
going
to
start
out
presenting
data
showing
Minneapolis
Housing
trends.
These
data
will
be
disaggregated
by
race
and
ethnicity,
and
these
data
will
show
residential
patterns
of
racial
and
ethnic
integration
and
segregation.
B
Brian
will
provide
information
on
the
history,
historical
narrative,
on
fair
housing
issues
and
present
data
on
the
city's
housing
supply.
I
will
present
information
about
a
recently
completed,
fair
housing
study,
and
this
fair
housing
study
will
identify
eight
fair
housing
issues
as
well
as
ten
goals
that
the
city
should
consider
in
addressing
these
issues.
B
We
have
about
an
hour's
worth
of
presentation,
content
here
on
which
should
leave
time
for
discussion
at
the
end,
we're
happy
to
take
questions
throughout
the
presentation,
but
there
are
ten
specific
goals
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
all
the
way
through.
So
at
some
point
we
may
need
to
speed
things
up.
B
Sorry,
here's
the
agenda,
but
I
just
explained
so
I,
Michael
and
and
Brian
and
I
are
presenting
here,
but
I
want
to
acknowledge
all
of
the
staff
that
have
provided
input
into
the
into
both
the
content
here
and
are
also
very
key
staff
in
the
work
that
we're
also
going
to
be
discussing
here.
So
I'm
not
going
to
list
all
of
their
names
here.
But
you
can,
you
can
see
them
and
there
will
also
be
a
here
or
there
here
and
will
be
available
as
a
resource
to
answer
questions
during
the
discussion
period.
B
I
would
also
like
to
acknowledge
that
Greg
Ross
executive
director
of
the
Minneapolis
Public
Housing
Authority
and
Kyle
Hanson,
director
of
the
Housing
Choice
Voucher
program,
are
here
as
well.
Mpha
is
a
key
partner.
They
they
provide
six
thousand
units
of
public
housing,
5,000
Housing,
Choice
vouchers
in
our
city
and
the
Fair
Housing
study
didn't
just
look
at
city
policies
around
fair
housing
issues.
It
also
looked
at
the
policies
of
public
housing
authorities
around
the
metropolitan
area,
including
n
PHAs.
B
So
before
we
jump
into
the
data,
we're
going
to
tell
you
the
trends
that
the
data
are
going
to
show
number
one,
we
are
growing
faster
than
we
have
since
1950.
So,
while
that
is
a
desirable
thing,
it
is
putting
tremendous
amount
of
pressure
on
housing.
Affordability
in
our
city
number
two,
our
population
of
color,
is
growing
faster
than
the
population
as
a
whole
and
three
for
a
growing
number
of
low-income
residents.
B
Incomes
are
not
keeping
pace
with
health
and
cost
increases,
and
this
is
especially
true
for
people
of
color,
for
we
are
now
a
majority
renter
population
in
the
city.
This
is
something
that
has
shifted
relatively
recently.
Our
population
is
now
mostly
renter.
Five,
we
have
less
affordable
housing
than
we
did
15
years
ago,
and
production
is
not
keeping
pace
with
loss.
B
Six
racial
disparities
persist
in
all
aspects
of
housing
and
finally,
there
are
Geographic
patterns
of
income
and
racial
disparities,
and
these
disparities
are
influenced
by
past
discriminatory
policy.
I
also
want
to
point
out
here
that
these
are
not
issues
that
Minneapolis
is
uniquely
facing.
These
are
regional
trends.
The
loss
of
affordability,
in
particular,
is
something
that
is
happening
on
a
regional
basis,
and
these
are
also
national
trends,
so
peer
cities
that
are
also
experiencing
economic
growth
are
experiencing
very,
very
similar
trends
to
what
we
are
here
in
Minneapolis.
C
C
Looking
at
our
population
by
race,
city's
population
of
color
has
grown
at
a
faster
rate
than
the
population
as
a
whole.
On
the
chart
here
you
can
see.
The
blue
line
represents
total
population
population
of
colors,
represented
by
the
Green
Line
in
1990,
around
2
and
10
residents
indicated
a
race
other
than
white,
not
Hispanic,
and
as
of
2010,
this
number
had
increased
at
4
and
10
and
is
projected
to
continue
to
grow.
C
C
Income
income
overall,
the
city
is
stable,
but
disparities
persist
underneath
the
citywide
figure
white
and
Asian
incomes
increased
since
2000,
while
black
and
American
Indian
households
side
decreases
in
household
income
over
that
same
time,
frame
now
to
the
frame.
Some
of
those
numbers
in
a
regional
context
mean
household
income
through
Minneapolis
is
around
$50,000,
which
is
about
60%
of
the
regional
median
income
measure.
C
So
now
we
take
all
that
home
ownership
data
and
roll
that
up
into
a
home
ownership
gap.
So
what
you
see
here
on
the
Left
Minneapolis
on
the
right,
the
Twin
Cities
Metro,
the
dark
blue
bar-
is
the
share
of
white
non-hispanic
household
to
own
their
home.
The
lighter
blue,
the
share
of
people
of
color
who
own
and
while
rates
of
ownership
for
both
are
higher.
At
the
regional
level,
the
gap
is
almost
identical:
36
30
%.
C
Looking
at
household
incomes
in
costs
for
renters
and
owners
owner
households
as
a
group
are
largely
better
off
than
they
were
in
2000
increased
incomes
in
stabilized
housing
costs
on
this
chart.
Here
owners
are
on
the
left.
The
blue
bar
represents
changes
in
income
since
2000
the
gray
represents
changes
in
housing
costs.
The
renter
picture
is
very
different
compared
with
those
who
are
renting
in
2000.
Today's
renters
face
reduced
incomes
at
increasing
rents,
11%
increase
in
housing
costs
and
a
14%
decrease
in
income.
C
So
that's
all
part
of
a
larger
trend
of
a
loss
of
affordability.
So
what
you
see
here
on
the
left
is
in
2000.
The
green
portion
represents
a
portion
of
the
city's
housing
stock
that
was
affordable
to
a
family
at
50%
of
area
median
income
for
reference
in
2015.
That
was
about
$45,000
for
a
family
of
four
fast
forward
a
decade
later
on
the
right,
an
estimated
thirty,
eight
percent
of
the
city's
housing
stock
is
affordable
at
that
50
percent
of
ami
level.
C
C
Looking
at
this,
you
may
want
to
kind
of
hang
your
hat
on
the
notion
that
we
have
a
high
share
of
affordability
relative
to
other
metro
communities,
but
just
as
a
reminder,
we're
going
to
add
nearly
twice
as
more
people
and
households
by
2040
than
any
other
community
in
the
metro.
So
we're
facing
very
different
conditions.
Then
the
other
communities
are
seeing
here.
C
E
Sorry
I
so
I'm
noticing
that
st.
Paul
has
I
mean
your
map.
Right
has
a
much
higher
percentage
of
housing
stock
that
remains
affordable,
and
can
you
just
talk
about
that?
A
little
bit?
Is
that
because
just
the
market
is
dictating
that
those
premises
mean
that's
what
that
means
is
that
the
market
is
just
different
in
Saint
Paul
versus
Minneapolis,
but
are
there
other
things
in
the
market
that
are
dictating
this
percent
of
share
affordable,
like
how
much
subsidy
or
other
things
that
are
going
into
production
or
preservation
of
units.
C
Chair
bedrick
helps
double
it.
I'd
like
to
dig
into
that
further
one
channel
is
with
this
data
in
particular,
is
that
at
relatively
low
levels
the
reliability
breaks
down.
These
are
certainly
estimates,
so
actually
the
difference
between
any
Appleton
st.
Paul
does
nearly
fall
into
that
sort
of
margin
of
error
range.
So
it's
difficult
to
dig
in
and
figure
out
what
the
differences
but
I'd
like
to
look
at
data
sort
of
additional
to
what
I
use
for
this
analysis
to
answer
those
questions,
but
not
prepared
that
today,
I
can
happy
to
follow
up.
F
Thank
you,
I
think
you
know
one
of
the
things
over
the
years:
st.
Paul's
values
a
home
in
st.
Paul.
That
would
be
a
you
know,
X
square
feet.
We've
always
heard
that
is
more
valuable
or
not
more
valuable
that
value
higher
than
the
same
home.
You
know
typically
in
Minneapolis,
which
is
it
have
some
effect.
Can
you
go
back
a
couple
of
slides
to
this
affordability,
home
ownership
versus
rental?
Yes,.
F
C
F
C
F
It
I
mean
it
looks
like
yes,
oh
it's
in
that
great
housing.
You
know,
values
for
single-family
are
or
you
know,
a
home.
Ownership
are
more
affordable
than
rental,
but
people
lived
through
a
long
period
where
their
houses
were
under
water,
and
you
know
we
had
probably
almost
ten
years
of
values
where
people
lost
at
least
a
third
of
their
property
values
and
I.
C
For
instance,
if
there's
an
owner
who
owns
a
home
in
2000
and
I
purchased
that
seven
years
later,
the
conditions
under
which
I
purchase
it
are
different,
but
we
did
see
and
I
use
the
word
stabilized
housing
cost
for
Owen
is
here
because
around
the
recession
there
was
an
increase
in
housing
costs
for
owners.
You
saw
that
somewhat
masked
by
the
time
frame,
but
again
by
the
time
we
get
to
2014
all
that
is
basically
back
to
where
we
were
in
2000
yeah.
C
C
I,
don't
like
to
move
to
talk
about
Cosford
and
households
and
sort
of
who
experiences
it
likely
familiar
to
many
people
in
the
room,
but
Cockburn
household
is
one
spending.
30
percent
or
more
of
a
household
income
on
housing
and
severely
cost
burden
are
those
spending
50
percent
or
more?
Nearly
half
of
Minneapolis
renters
are
cost
burdened,
and
the
majority
of
those
cost
burdened
are
severely
comforted
spending,
50
percent
of
their
income
and
more
on
housing.
C
Additionally,
renters
represent
three
out
of
four
cost
burdened
household
and
severely
prospered
and
households
in
the
city
understand
rien
mentioned
this
is
not
happening
in
Minneapolis
in
isolation.
I
looked
at
at
inter
paired
for
a
swag
year,
but
I
looked
at
our
metro
and
compared
it
to
11,
tear
metros
out
of
similar
sort
of
in
size
and
a
few
other
factors.
C
Well,
I
mean
income
for
those
metros
varies
widely
san
francisco's
over
a
hundred
thousand
place
like
a
niche
is
more
like
sixty
thousand
the
percentage
of
renter's
that
are
caused
burden
did
not
go
anywhere
outside
of
45
to
50
percent.
This
is
happening
very
similarly
in
other
metros,
regardless
of
sort
of
the
income
distribution.
C
So
moving
into
sort
of
who's,
more
prospered
with
in
that
contracted,
number
you're,
looking
at
sort
of
household
types
by
tenure,
owner,
rent
or
status.
So
you
see,
the
green
bar
here
represents
owners
within
the
family
type
or
the
household
size
excuse
me,
and
the
blue
bar
represents
renters.
Small
and
elderly
families
are
the
least
likely
to
be
cost
burdened
and
ownership
reduces
Cosford
and
for
all
household
types,
with
the
exception
of
elderly
people
not
living
with
a
relative.
C
I'm,
looking
at
herded
by
race,
homeownership
reduces
the
likelihood
of
prosper
for
most
groups.
This
is
a
common
trend,
but
disparities
remain.
Forty-Five
percent
of
blacks
owners
are
cost
per
degree,
which
is
27
percent
of
white
owners
should
know
for
American,
Indian
households,
one
and
two
are
conferred,
and
regardless
of
owner
renter
status,.
A
That
combines
to
mean
that
we're
seeing
significant
displacement
in
these
neighborhoods,
where
we're
seeing
high
concentrations
of
property
sales
because
again
said
more
simply.
The
renter's
who
are
living
in
these
buildings
already
can
barely
make
ends
meet
and
they're,
not
able
to
even
sustain
a
10
percent.
Rent
increase,
much
less
a
100
percent
or
doubling
of
their
rent.
So
I
just
want
to
kind
of
underscore
that
trend
that
we're,
seeing
that
the
data
I
think
is
showing
councilmember
Glidden.
E
Thanks
just
on
this
map
again
I
was
curious
if
we
know
any
information
about
those
property
owners
that
did
sell
their
properties.
I
know
that
I've
heard
in
other
presentations,
I
think
from
the
assessor's
office,
and
maybe
this
was
also
in
the
Minnesota
Housing
Partnership
report.
I
can't
remember.
F
E
C
Trubiner
calculated,
that
is
absolutely
an
aspect
of
the
NHP
report.
I
don't
want
to
don't
misspeak,
but
it's
totally
a
part
of
it
and
we
could
pull
it
up
and
I
could
follow
up
on
that.
I
want
to
misrepresent
someone
else's
research
on
that
front,
but
that's
absolutely
an
aspect
of
something
they
found
and
explored
in
the
report.
E
Question
was
what
do
we
know
about?
Why
there's
anything
that
we
know
about
why
these
sales
are
happening
or
Canada.
The
points
that
are
you
know
just
just
so
that
helps
us
understand
and
are
there
other
alternatives
for
purchasing
the
properties
once
they
come
available
and
kind
of
how
that
works.
That's
room
kind
of
go
on
with
that
right.
C
C
E
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
This
cannot
possibly
be
totally
accurate
because
I've
worked
on
two
projects
that
were
sold
in
my
ward
that
are
not
on
this
map.
So
this
probably
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
in
terms
of
what
we
know
about,
which
is
why
advance
notice
is
so
important.
I
mean
here,
we
don't
I,
don't
see
the
Alden
on
here
as
an
example
or
1515,
both
of
which
sold
this
year.
So
I
think,
there's
probably
more
that
we're
unaware
of.
C
Dekker
councilmember
Goodman
I
also
point
out
that
Dave
relied
on
sort
of
a
proprietary
data
set
that
I
haven't,
had
the
opportunity
to
dig
into
and
when
the
nice
thing
about
publicly
available
data
sets
that
I
relied
on
for
most
this
presentation,
as
we
kind
of
get
regular
updates
to
it.
We
know
where
it
comes
from
and
it's
hard
to
sort
out
if
things
kind
of
fall
through
the
cracks
or
not.
The
observation.
C
So
I'd
like
to
speak
to
a
geographic
component
of
Cosford
and
some
of
the
other
trends
we
talked
about
so
first
just
a
note
on
areas
of
concentrated
poverty.
This
map
represents
the
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
in
the
Metro
there
112
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
most
of
which
are
in
Minneapolis
and
st.
Paul.
Here's
that
same
map
from
Minneapolis.
C
Half
of
the
tracks
in
census,
tracts-
excuse
me
in
Minneapolis
are
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
and
a
driving
factor
here
is
that
difference
between
the
city
and
Metro
income
on
the
map
here.
Attracts
shaded
in
orange
is
an
area
of
concentrated
poverty,
and
an
orange
with
an
orange
outline
represents
a
very
concentrated
poverty,
where
the
population
is
also
at
least
50%.
C
People
of
color,
so
I
brought
those
up
only
to
introduce
this,
which
is
sort
of
Cosford
and
a
lot
of
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
which
looking
at
here
on
the
Left
we
have
renters
on
the
right.
You
have
homeowners,
and
the
takeaway
here
is
that
constant
increases
for
both
renters
and
homeowners
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
and
increase
it
even
further
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
50%
minority.
C
So
the
folks,
over
here
at
the
University
of
Minnesota,
took
this
notion
of
cost
burden
and
used
to
analyze
where,
in
Minneapolis,
a
typical
renter
households
headed
by
different
racial
groups,
could
live
without
being
cost
burdened.
The
first
row
of
maps
show
compares
the
median
income
values
to
median
rents
in
2000,
and
the
bottom
row
shows
that
same
information
for
2014
to
look
at
sort
of
the
first
column
there
in
2,000
areas
where
the
typical
black
household
could
afford
median
of
rent
were
scarce.
They
were
concentrated
mostly
in
Philips
and
North,
but
by
2014.
C
C
Finally,
the
second
column
of
maps.
There
shows
the
same
information
for
white
non-hispanic
household.
What's
of
note
years
that
this
effect
is
not
isolated
household
of
color
portions
of
south
and
southwest
we're
not
affordable
or
a
typical
white
family
in
2014,
but
it's
clear
from
these
masks.
These
households
still
do
have
the
most
housing
choice
other
than
your
racial
group.
Here.
E
Thanks,
madam
chair
I,
mean
I
just
wanted
a
pause
on
this,
because
I
think
this
is
some
of
the
most
dramatic
information
it
just
sort
of
lays
the
context
of
the
importance
of
the
solutions
that
need
to
continue
to
be
developed
to
work
on
affordability
of
housing.
I
actually
had
another
early
version
of
this
information
presented
a
few
months
ago
in
a
in
a
constituent
meeting.
E
I
do
a
regular
constituent
meeting,
and
so
we
can
early
version
of
this
presented
and
to
be
able
to
look
at
this
map
and
and
essentially
say
there
are
no
properties
in
the
entire
city
of
Minneapolis
that
are
affordable
to
the
black
families,
with
an
average
income
of
you
know
whatever
for
their
average
income
and
then
going
to
down
the
line
for
the
Hispanic
or
Latino
families.
And
then
are
we
a
city
that
essentially
is
only
affordable
to
white
families.
So
so
I
just
wanted
to
pause,
and
just
say
this
is
hugely
impactful
information.
E
It
was
a
new
way
to
see
the
information
that
I
think
we
had
seen
in
that
kind
of
big
picture
way.
Kind
of
hearing
these
big-picture
statistic,
but
to
kind
of
see
this
in
the
in
the
in
the
maps
over
a
period
of
time,
I
think
really,
at
least
for
me
and
others
that
I
know
had
seen
this
information
prior
to
today.
E
C
Share
vendor
comes
up
with
good
analysis.
Comment
that
this
you
know
the
most
recent
analysis.
We
have
here's
to
2014
we're
now
2017
these
data
gets
dusty
before
we
even
get
to
look
at
them,
much
less,
since
the
analysis
was
done,
and
so,
if
you
look
at
how
rapidly
this
changed,
that's
not
hard
to
imagine
what
we
might
be
looking
like
once
we
get
newer
data
that
represents
where
we
are
now.
C
Additional
element
here
is
sort
of
the
universe
of
legally
binding,
affordable
units.
So
what
you're
looking
at
here
is
a
map
in
which
each
dot
represents
an
address
with
a
legally
binding,
affordable
unit
or
units
overlaid
on
that
ACP
map.
I
showed
you
earlier
so
there's
this
map
and
here's
that
same.
E
C
F
C
Chair
butter
helps
President
Johnson.
This
is
the
source
of
this.
Data
is
housing
link
and
they
do
try
great
resource
for
us,
which
is
sort
of
combining
any
time
there's
a
result
of
a
affordable
unit
from
state
level
involvement,
county
involvement,
city
involvement.
They
try
to
match
all
that
data
together,
which
is
something
that
doesn't
happen
often
times.
C
It's
so
we
have
data
at
the
address
level
where
we
can
say
yes,
an
affordable
units
there
or
affordable
units,
it's
difficult
to
say
at
that
address
how
many
and
at
what
level,
at
a
higher
level,
at
sort
of
the
project
level.
If
you
will
we're
able
to
speak
to
how
many
units
and
at
what
level,
so
we're
somewhat
limited
on
the
data
in
terms
of
what
we
can
say
at
this
level,
but
I
want
to
just
throw
these
on
a
map
to
describe
that.
C
F
E
You
know
that
that's
a
good
point,
although
I
will
say
that
so
there's
of
course,
two
ways
that
I
understand
that
I'm
no
expert
on
describing
us,
but
with
the
there's,
a
place
based
section,
8
vouchers,
and
maybe
that
is
something
that
could
or
should
be
reflected
in
the
math.
But
then
there
is
essentially
the
voucher
program
which
doesn't,
in
the
end
effect,
is
the
property
itself
affordable.
E
It
just
says
that
you
can
take
your
voucher
and
utilize
that
to
to
to
try
to
try
to
with
that
voucher,
make
that
market
rent
more
affordable
to
you.
If
you
qualify
for
that
voucher,
so
in
the
and
I
think
it
doesn't
belong
on
the
map
that
it
belongs
on.
Maybe
something
else
where
we
could
map
and
kind
of
say
how
are
people
trying
to
utilize.
D
C
Bender,
that's
one
challenge
of
the
data
that
I
would
love
to
actually
further
work
with
housing
link
to
refine.
It's
actually
specifically
called
out
in
the
AI
that
we
work
with
them.
On
this
data
set
they're
able
to
sort
of
estimate
an
estimated
first
date
of
expiration,
the
challenge
being
a
number
of
funding
sources
could
go
into
creating
an
affordable
unit.
It's
not
always
clear,
based
on
what
they're
able
to
compile
what
that
is.
So
we
have
a
rough
estimate
of
where
we
might
first
cross
that
threshold,
but
it's
not
really
something.
C
C
One
final
thing
want
to
call
out:
is
the
Minneapolis
innovation
teams
work
analyzing
evictions
in
court
data,
two
major
findings
from
their
initial
analysis.
That
I
know
is
ongoing
and
probably
has
had
much
more
to
say
on
this
topic,
but
two
major
findings
were
a
majority
of
the
eviction.
The
vast
majority,
where
the
result
of
non-payment
of
rent
and
the
sort
of
sample
of
cases
they've
looked
at
about
two
months
in
two
thousand
dollars,
stand
between
tenants
and
addictions.
C
So
when
you
look
at
this
map
that
shows
you
know
asking
made
nearly
half
of
renter
households
in
these
two
North
Minneapolis
zip
codes
experienced
an
addiction
filing
the
past
three
years
and
compare
that
map
to
some
of
the
other
maps.
I've
shown
you
with
cost
burden
incomes.
Things
like
that,
a
good
takeaway
here,
it's
it's
likely
that
we're
dealing
with
people
who
are
not
just
trying
to
avoid
paying
their
rent.
A
If
you
have
a
addiction
filing
on
your
record,
and
so
now,
we've
created
a
situation
where
a
very
large
percentage
of
our
population
in
our
neighborhoods
in
North
Minneapolis
are
really
at
risk
for
not
being
able
to
find
housing
in
the
future
and
the
castle
president,
maybe
want
to
make
a
comment
or
question
about
that.
Yeah.
F
Thank
you,
ma'am
cheering.
Your
point
is
really
very
poignant
and
yeah
I.
Think
part
of
this-
and
this
was
a
stunning
number
to
me
to
when
I
first
heard
this
that
we
have
part
of
the
problem
is
we
have
landlords
that
this
is
their
business
practice
that
they
and
the
innovation
team
has
done
work
to
show
that
these
numbers
are
created
by,
in
many
cases,
a
relatively
small
number
of
landlords,
and
so
I
mean
for
us.
It's
a
real
lesson
as
a
city
about
our
regulatory
authority.
C
H
Vendor
councilmembers
I'm
quickly,
just
going
to
go,
spend
some
time
talking
about
a
brief
overview
of
the
discriminatory
housing
policies
that
have
existed
and
their
influence
on
the
city's
development
patterns,
and
then
it's
a
quick
follow
up
in
that
conversation
about
our
housing
supply.
I
think
Michael
is
giving
you
a
really
great
understanding
of
what
people
are
currently
experiencing,
and
maybe
what
they've
experienced
in
did
not
to
pass
a
decent
third
bar
past,
but
to
kind
of
think
about
that.
H
A
little
longer
distance
is
really
the
last
impacts
of
this
discriminatory
housing
policies
that
that
have
in
a
place,
and
we
have
a
long
history
of
these
policies
that
they've
shaped
out
theories
of
opportunity
and
shaped
where
and
how
our
city
is
developed.
Some
of
these
are
much
more
overt.
These
are
the
racially
restrictive
covenants
that
exist.
Don't
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
work.
Some
of
these
are
a
little
less
overt
more
about
just
the
bigger
way
of
that.
H
H
H
Bender
Council,
America
and
think
Erica
mark
Lydon.
Thank
you
again
so
there
they
looked
at
about
so
far
as
of
March
about
twenty
percent
of
the
city
in
that
process.
Them
on
that
map,
you
see,
there's
blue
in
the
red.
Those
are
both
the
areas
they
looked
at.
Anything
doesn't
have
bluing
right
wounds;
they
haven't
looked
at
it
yet
so
they're
still
about
four-fifths
of
the
city
that
hasn't
been
examined.
They
found
4,500
racial,
restrictive
covenants.
That
was
our
read
on
this
map
and
you
can
see
where
those
are
across
the
city.
E
Thanks,
well
maybe
I'll
just
add
this
and
now
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
you
know.
So
this
is
a
really
interesting
project.
That
is
that
it's
happening.
The
mapping
prejudice
project,
which
you
can
google
and
I
just
say
that,
because
their
intent
is
to
map
the
entire
city
and
any
resident
can
go
on
their
website
and
it
is
very
easy
to
volunteer
to
help.
Do
the
work
to
be
able
to
cover
the
entire
city.
E
H
Better
counselor
Glidden
thank
you
for
adding
that
in
it.
I
really
appreciate
that
I
think.
It
should
also
note
that
during
this
time,
the
city
is
developing
itself
and
we
have
a
pattern
of
single-family
homes
and
a
lot
of
that
subdivision
also
included
minimum
cost
for
that
home
to
be
constructed.
So
the
homes
going
to
be.
H
What
you
see
on
the
screen
is
the
Hulk
map.
These
are
the
federal
home
moment,
owned
Loan
Corporation,
Maps
user
created
in
the
1930s
and
five
and
you
3l
at
1940.
The
color
is
meaning
being
C
and
D,
which
are
yellow
and
red.
Are
the
areas
were
they
really
advise
against
investments
and
underwriting
loans,
and
in
areas
of
a
and
E,
were
better
areas
where
they
were
felt
that
those
real
cave
to
underwrite
loans?
Again?
H
Member
mention
wouldn't
mention
all
these
practices
that
have
led
to
the
development
patterns
we
have
today,
and
especially
the
patterns
of
where
populations
and
demographics
are
so
together.
All
these
different
housing
policies
became
ensconced
in
our
development
patterns,
whether
they
be
implied
through
certain
types
of
underwriting
which
allowed
us
to
have
different
types
of
subdivisions
in
growth,
or
also
had
just
how
areas
opportunities
are
allowed
and
where
we've
maybe
had
couldn't
get
loans.
H
Purse
areas-
and
we
might
have
seen
changes
in
that
housing
stock
so
trying
to
take
in
that
lens
and
moving
that
towards
a
little
bit
of
a.
What
does
it
look
like
today
and
how
does
it
manifest
itself
is
starting
to
talk
about
how
our
distribution
of
our
city
looks
like?
Where
can
you
live
in
a
multi-family
unit
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
today,
and
this
map
demonstrates
all
the
units
that
you
could
that
are
available
on
in
the
city?
Many
optional
units
exist
better
greater
than
three
units.
H
H
But
how
are
we
moving
that
development
pattern
forward
is
this
is
a
current
map
of
the
zoning
that
would
allow
for
a
three
or
larger
through
your
unit
or
more
building
being
built
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
So
all
they
reason
think
are
areas
that
we'd
allow
those
three
units
so
they're
kind
of.
If
you
just
cycle
back
through-
and
you
can
kind
of
just
see,
there's
an
overlap
of
all
those
as
they
come
through.
E
You
know
I
have
a
another
question
on,
but
maybe
I'll
just
wait
to
the
enterprise,
it's
more
on
the
the
tenant
end
of
thing.
So
we
had
this
one
slide.
That
was
about
the
very
important
and
dramatic
report
done
by
our
city
staff
on
evictions,
but
I,
don't
know
that
we
have
a
good
set
of
information,
so
I
just
want
to
throw
us
out
there
on
kind
of
what
happens
at
the
front
end
of
when
people
are
trying
to
read
a
property,
so
I
know
there
have
been
some
slices
of
that
information.
E
I've
heard
of
a
of
a
resident
told
me
her
story
and
she
was
not
selected
for
an
apartment,
even
but
because
she
didn't
have
a
credit
rating
at
800
in
the
800
so,
and
so
anyway.
I,
just
I,
don't
know
if
there's
a
question
for
you
or
Andrea,
but
have
we
done
that?
Look
at
some
of
these
other
issues
that
are
essentially
the
barriers
to
getting
even
into
a
property
if
you
are
so
lucky
to
find
one
that
is
affordable
to
you,.
A
H
You
for
that
I'm
going
to
switch
gears
slightly
not
incredibly
far,
but
just
looking
at
the
housing
units
and
location,
so
kind
of
taking
a
different
look
at
the
city
based
on
what
kind
of
units
we
have.
So
where
are
one
bedrooms,
two
bedrooms,
three
bedrooms
and
four
bedrooms
within
the
city,
but
this
is
all
based
on
our
assessor
data.
H
Just
to
be
clear-
and
just
this
gives
you
a
breakdown-
I
know
the
map
is
hard
to
read,
we're
going
to
go
through
it
and
segment
so
to
look
at
it
from
a
studio
perspective.
This
is
where
the
studios
exists
in
the
city
Minneapolis,
based
on
our
Assessor
information,
and
it's
not
a
surprise
and
Mosul's
and
multi-family
housing.
I
think
the
77
in
single-family
housing
might
be
some
data
anomalies
and
maybe
just
some
odd
housing
types
as
we
move
forward.
H
As
you
move
forward
into
one
bedrooms,
you
can
kind
of
see
a
larger
distribution
of
1-bedroom
units
across
the
city.
You
can
still
see
that
multifamily
really
is
the
predominant
place
for
where
we
have
more
1-bedroom
units,
but
you
can
also
see
areas
of
the
city
where
we
don't
really
have
opportunity
for
those
smaller
units
being
one
and
two
bedrooms,
especially
some
of
those
other
areas
are
highlighted
previously.
There's
you
can
start
to
see
some
gaps.
H
H
One
of
the
important
things
we
start
talking
about
is
again
this
distribution
of
housing.
It's
in
different
parts
of
the
areas
so
again,
1
&,
2,
bedrooms,
kind
of
representing
ideas
for
smaller,
smaller
households,
individual
households
and
those
opportunities
of
people,
maybe
age
in
their
community
and
downsize,
and
also
opportunities
for
just
affordability,
perhaps
in
different
living
arrangements.
As
you
move
into
this
larger,
is
you
kind
of
see
that
all
the
time
to
start
the
switch?
This
is
again
probably
not
a
surprise
that
we
have
a
lot.
H
Many
more
larger
units
and
three
bedroom
and
four-bedroom
units
in
single-family
homes,
and
we
do
in
multi-family,
and
you
can
see
that
distribution
throughout
the
city
downtown.
You
can
see
the
some
of
the
buildings
with
three
and
four-bedroom
units,
including
the
townhomes
up
there
on
the
river
in
the
North
Loop.
One
of
the
key
things
that
we've
been
taught
that
have
been
talked
about.
H
A
lot
is
having
larger
bedrooms
that
are
larger
unit
sizes
and
more
bedrooms
for
multi-generational
living
and
just
larger
families,
and
where
we
have
those
opportunities-
and
it
should
be
noted
looking
at
the
data
is
that
40%
of
our.
So
we
have
about
12,000
three
or
four
bedroom
multifamily
units
and
forty
percent
of
those
forty
percent
about
12,000,
roughly
about
almost
five
4,500
are
in
duplexes,
so
the
majority
or
good
portion,
the
largest
portion
of
our
three
and
four
bedroom
and
rental
families
are
actually
or
in
rental,
property
and
multi-family.
H
Property
are
in
duplexes
and
triplexes
are
just
duplexes.
Excuse
me,
which
just
gives
an
idea
of
what
kind.
Maybe
the
importance
of
that
type
of
housing
stock
for
multi-generational
families
and
larger
families,
at
least.
So
we
have
today
not
necessarily
going
forward
so
with
that
I
can
kind
of
in
my
part.
So
if
there's
any
questions
for
me,
I'm
happy
to
answer
those
otherwise
we'll
bring
them
dry
up
and
move
forward.
Mr.
H
A
With
the
color
so
we're
at
a
point
in
the
presentation
where
we're
going
to
shift
gears
from
a
presentation
of
data
and
analysis
to
more
of
solutions
and
proposals
that
staff
has
been
working
on,
I
wanted
to
just
pause,
since
we
do
write
in
to
get
on
track
that
we
think
we're
doing
well
for
time.
I
wanted
to
introduce
myself
I'm
Lisa
bender
I'm,
chairing
this
meeting,
which
we
organized
closely
together
with
councilmember
Goodman.
A
The
two
of
us
chair,
the
committee's
that
see
a
lot
of
the
housing
work,
the
community
development
and
regulatory
service
committee
that
she
chairs
on
the
zoning
and
planning
committee
which
I
chair
with
a
lot
of
support
from
council.
Vice
president
who's
in
charge
of
study
sessions,
councilmember,
Glidden
and
I
wanted
to
know.
We
have
here
today,
council,
member
condo
council,
president
Johnson
councilmember
Quincy
comes
over
fry
and
councilmember
Palmisano
and
again
I
know
many
of
our
colleagues
who
were
able
to
make
it
are
deeply
involved
in
this
work
and
really
interested
in
it.
A
I
wanted
to
summarize
this
a
couple
of
things
that
came
up,
which
were
questions
for
further
development.
Looking
at
affordability
and
reasons
for
the
affordability,
differences
between
Minneapolis
and
the
surrounding
communities,
including
st.
Paul,
we
talked
about
looking
more
deeply
into
the
homeownership
impacts
of
the
foreclosure
crisis
or
the
long-term
impacts
of
that.
We
talked
about
wanting
to
have
more
information
about.
A
Why
we're
seeing
so
many
more
national
buyers
buying
up
multifamily
properties
in
the
city,
and
there
was
some
good
comments
and
questions
about
access
and
barriers
to
housing
that
are
captured
in
our
data
and
I.
Also
just
wanted
to
say
that
all
of
us,
as
council
members
hear
stories
from
our
constituents
and
that
piece
that
human
piece
of
house,
the
housing.
What
I
would
say
is
a
mounting
housing
crisis
in
many
of
our
neighborhoods
in
the
city
is
really
I,
think
captured
in
some
part
by
the
data.
A
But
we
know
that
those
day
to
day
stories
of
our
constituents
go
much
deeper
and
that
the
data
is
just
one
piece
of
the
way
that
we
can
understand.
The
stories
of
the
people
who
are
trying
to
find
housing
is
seeing
their
housing
in
their
communities
so
pause
and
receive
any.
My
colleagues
have
any
comments
or
questions
on
the
a
portion
before
we
switch
over
to
the
recommendation.
B
Great
thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
the
council,
so
we
thought
it
was
very
important
to
present
the
context
within
which
the
city
is
obligated
to
to
address
fair
housing
issues.
If
there
are
fair
housing
issues,
the
city
is
obligated
to
do
what
it
can
to
try
to
eliminate
them
and
to
that
end,
the
city,
in
collaboration
with
other
jurisdictions
in
the
regional
in
the
region,
commissioned
a
fair
housing
study
from
mosaic
Community
Planning
group.
It's
a
group
that
is
based
in
Atlanta.
B
This
work,
as
I
mentioned,
was
commissioned
as
a
region,
it's
a
regional
analysis
and
it
was
commissioned
by
the
Fair
Housing
implementation,
council
or
the
sick.
This
group
is
made
out
of
made
up
of
county
and
city
governments
in
the
metropolitan
area.
It
includes
the
seven
Metro
counties
as
well
as
the
cities
that
you
see
listed
here.
A
regional
analysis
of
impediments
was
prepared
in
2014.
B
It
is
required
by
HUD
to
be
done
every
five
years,
but
this
analysis
became
the
subject
of
a
complaint
to
HUD,
alleging
that
the
analysis
and
its
findings
were
deficient
to
resolve
the
complaint.
Minneapolis
and
st.
Paul
entered
into
a
voluntary
compliance
agreement
with
HUD
and
the
complaintants
agreeing
to
update
the
study.
The
addendum
builds
off
of
the
2014
agenda
or
analysis
and
specifically
looks
at
issues
of
race
and
ethnicity,
segregation
and
integration.
B
Elements
of
the
analysis
are
listed
here.
Most
of
these
analyses
we
covered
separately
through
Brian
and
and
my
close
presentations,
so
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
them
here.
What
I'm
going
to
focus
on
are
the
elements
that
weren't
covered
previously,
and
that
includes
zoning
code,
reviews
and
low
income,
housing
tax
credit
policies.
B
B
Implications
of
this
work
is
that
the
city
is
is
obligated
to
take
meaningful
action
to
overcome
the
impediments
that
are
identified,
and
this
involves
the
typical
housing
finance
community
development
tools
that
we
have
employing
them
to
this
end,
but
also
involve
citywide
coordination
related
to
comprehensive
planning
planning,
zoning
city
investments,
basically
any
and
all
policies
that
could
have
an
impact
on
unfair
housing
choice.
In
addition
to
citywide
collaboration
requires
a
significant
in
use
because
it's
happening
already,
but
continued
and
expanded
coordination
with
other
agencies,
including
Minneapolis
public
housing
authority.
B
B
What
is
affirmative
lis
furthering
fair
housing?
The
definition
here
is
listed
in
green,
that
is
the
HUD
definition,
and
what
it
means
is
that
the
city
is
obligated
to
take
actions
that
do
a
number
of
things.
One
address
disparities
in
housing
need
and
access
to
opportunities
that
the
actions
replace
that
really
promote
integrated
and
balanced
living
patterns,
actions
that
improve
access
to
opportunity,
particularly
for
households,
residents
living
in
areas
of
poverty
and
one
of
the
majority
of
households,
are
people
of
color
and
the
foster
and
maintain
compliance
with
civil
rights
and
fair
housing
law.
B
B
The
city
received
a
medium
risk
score,
which
means
that
the
city
could
improve
in
this
area
to
more
proactively
support,
fair
housing
issues
in
the
areas
of
inclusionary
zoning
incentives
and
the
city
was
recognized
for
having
a
density
bonus.
But
the
study
also
recognized
that
the
density
bonus
is
not
well
is
not
utilized
very
often
and
could
be
that
the
city
should
consider
improving
it.
The
the
medium
risk
score
was
also
connected
to
the
recommendation
that
the
city
could
promote
longer
term
affordability
in
connection
with
affordable
housing.
B
B
Another
aspect
of
this
analysis
was
to
look
at
the
regional
distribution
of
tax
credit
developments,
so
these
are
this
map
shows
the
distribution
of
affordable
housing
units
in
all
of
the
properties
developed
or
preserved,
with
low-income
housing,
tax
credits
since
1987
by
census
tract.
It
also
shows
in
the
shading,
the
distribution
of
all
rental
housing
and
in
the
pink
areas,
shows
the
ACP
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
where
50%
of
the
households
of
people's
color.
Over
the
last
30
years,
the
tax
credit
developments
have
been
developed
in
all
seven
in
the
metropolitan
area.
B
B
This
slide
shows
the
distribution
of
tax
credit
developments
in
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
Most
units
are
in
or
around
the
downtown
neighborhoods
of
Marcy
homes,
Cedar
Riverside,
Seward,
Elliot,
Park,
Loring,
Park,
downtown
West,
and
this
grouping
mirrors
the
overall
distribution
of
rental
housing.
In
these
areas
there
are
some
neighborhoods,
such
as
kool
Moe,
West
Calhoun,
echo
Carrig
that
have
higher
shares
of
rental
housing,
but
few
tax
credit
units,
and
then
there
are
fewer
tax
credit
units
in
most
north
and
south
neighborhoods,
because
there's
less
multi-family
housing
overall.
B
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
point
out
in
this
slide,
it's
a
little
bit
difficult
to
read,
but
then
the
green
dots
show
the
9%
tax
credit
developments
and
there's
a
it's
important
to
distinguish
between
9%
tax
credits
and
4%
tax
credits.
9%
tax
credits
are
allocated
on
an
annual
basis
through
a
highly
competitive
RFP
process,
and
the
selection
criteria
that
the
city
sets
forth
is
very
important
and
influential
in
determining
where
tax
credit
developments
are
located.
B
B
All
of
the
elements
we've
previously
discussed
and
the
data
resulted
in
some
fair
housing
issues
that
were
identified
by
the
consultants
and,
in
addition
to
what
we
presented,
there
was
also
a
community
engagement
component
to
this
work.
There
were
17
community-based
organizations
that
provided
input.
They
did
outreach
through
their
networks.
They
worked
with
diverse
cultural
constituencies
about
800
estimated
800
residents
regionally
have
input
into
this
work.
B
68%
of
them
were
renters
and
about
half
of
them
had
incomes
under
$25,000
a
year.
So
the
issues
that
were
identified
there
are
eight
of
them
one.
There
is
a
need
for
expanded
distribution
of
affordable
housing
across
the
region
to
regulation
policies,
funding,
availability,
matters
in
terms
of
where
affordable
housing
gets
developed.
Three
access
to
housing
is
reduced
for
racial.
Some
racial
and
ethnic
groups
for
fair
housing
enforcement
and
education
is
a
continued
need.
B
B
Six
residential
patterns
reflect
segregation
and
differing
access
to
opportunity
factors
by
race
and
ethnicity.
Seven
areas
of
concentrated
poverty
require
coordinated
place-based,
investments
to
increase
opportunities
for
residents
and
eight
to
gentrification
and
displacement,
causes
a
loss
of
affordability
and
is
a
fair
housing
issue.
B
The
the
study
recommends
both
the
study,
as
well
as
the
HUD
regulation.
They
recommend
and
direct
a
balanced
approach
to
fair
housing.
What
does
a
balanced
approach
mean?
It
means
that
the
priority
for
new
construction
of
affordable
housing
should
be
in
areas
with
access
to
opportunity
and
that
opportunity
is
defined
by
the
communities
that
by
each
community
and
different
communities
have
different
definition
for
what
what
opportunity
means
priority
for
preservation
and
new
construction
should
be
where
gentrification
is
believed
to
be
occurring.
B
New
construction
of
affordable
housing
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
particularly
where
50%
of
the
residents
are
people
of
color,
should
be
considered
as
part
of
a
comprehensive
community
investment
strategy
to
address
targeting
needs
and
targeted
means
again
means
needs
that
have
been
identified
by
the
community
enforcement
of
fair
housing
laws
and
effort
to
prevent
housing.
Discrimination
are
are
key,
are
critical
to
this
work.
B
B
The
city
is
not
required,
and
this
is
very
clearly
stated
and
HUDs
letter
to
us.
The
city
is
not
required
to
adopt
any
of
the
specific
recommendations.
The
city
is
required
to
examine
its
land,
use,
zoning
policies,
tests,
credit
and
other
programs.
In
light
of
the
findings
here
and
to
take
what
action
we
deem
appropriate
to
make
sure
that
our
policies
are
firmly
for
their
fair
housing,
and
this
doesn't
just
apply
to
us.
It
applies
to
all
of
the
sake.
Participants,
Kepler,.
A
E
Thanks
manager-
and
that
was
the
manager
so
make
sure
I'm
kind
of
getting
clear
for
myself
and
just
to
kind
of
understand
what's
on
here
is
so
the
recommendations
and
the
goals
listed.
They
were
developed
as
part
of
this
process
that
included
the
community
organizational
members
or
whatever,
as
applying
to
the
entire
region.
E
Am
I
right
and
were
there
any
recommendations
that
were
identified
as
more
or
less
applicable
to
different
cities
or
counties
that
participated
so
I
just
I
say
that
it's
not
to
say
that
maybe
Minneapolis,
even
though
we
don't
quote,
have
to
do
all
these
recommendations.
Maybe
every
single
one
of
them
is
one
that
we
need
to
implement
or
figure
out
how
that
goes.
But
certainly
we
are
a
different
community
than
say
the
city
of
st.
Louis
Park
or
whatever
it
is,
and
so
we're
there
any.
B
Chair
van
der
council,
vice
president
Glidden,
absolutely
yes,
the
recommendations
are,
there
are
some
recommendations
that
are
general
and
apply
to
everybody.
There
are
some
that
are
very
specific
to
individual
cities,
counties
or
public
housing
authorities.
There
are
some
that
are
specific
to
being
addressed
as
a
region
and
some
that
can
be
addressed
individually
as
in
individual
jurisdiction.
So,
yes,
so.
E
E
B
I
can
refer
you
to
the
analysis,
the
addendum
actually,
which
is
located,
there's
a
link
that
we'll
get
to
in
a
minute,
but
the
it
actually
includes
the
individual
assessment
of
the
22
zoning
ordinances
that
they
reviewed.
So
that's
in
the
appendix,
so
anyone
can
go
on
Ramsey
County
website
and
look
look
up
and
see
specifically
what
those
recommendations
were
and.
E
Again,
I'm
sorry
to
kind
of
keep
droning
on
here,
but
I.
Just
you
don't
want
to
fit
that
with.
You
know
the
fact
that
you
had
as
this
statistic
in
there
that
was
it
cities
in
many
of
us,
a
Paul
hosts.
Forty
percent
of
the
rental
community
in
the
entire
region
did
I
read
that
right,
even
okay,
and
and
yet,
when
you
were
giving
us
the
trend,
information
for
the
for
the
region.
It
talks
about
you
know
kind
of
the
national
trend.
Is
that
we're
seeing
more
renters
than
homeowners
and
so
forth.
E
B
The
rest
of
this
presentation,
I'm
going
to
spend
walking
through
these
ten,
these
ten
goals
and
talking
about
the
work
that's
currently
underway
to
address
these
goals
and
the
recommendations
I'm,
also
going
to
highlight
some
of
the
recommendations
where
it's
work
that
we
could
choose
to
to
add
on
to
our
list.
I
really
think
it's
important
here
to
point
out
that
of
these
54
recommendations,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
is
actively
working
on
the
vast
majority
of
them
either
actively
working
on,
or
has
already
done.
A
lot
of
the
recommendations
that
are
here.
B
B
They've
made
significant
progress
so
far
and
another
another
thing
that
I
wanted
to
point
out
is
is
our
ability
to
strategically
acquire
affordable
housing
sites
such
as
the
site
at
54th
and
riverview
Road
in
in
south
Minneapolis,
the
city
acquired
the
site
partners
with
mPHA
to
develop
additional
public
housing
or
large
families
that
are
currently
experiencing
homelessness.
So
that's
another
example
of
how
we
can
help
improve
opportunities
for
mobility
within
our
own
jurisdiction.
A
I'll
just
quickly
first
I
wanted
to
note.
We
have
ten
of
these
and
about
40
minutes
left
I.
Think
in
order
to
make
sure
we
have
both
time
to
hear
them
all
and
robust
conversation
from
council
members,
I
think
I'll.
Let
staff
pretty-like
give
your
presentation
of
each
slide
and
then
pay
questions
on
each
one.
So,
council,
president,
has
a
question
on
that
last
slide.
Just.
F
B
Chair
bender,
council,
President,
Johnson,
I
I
believe
I'm,
not
yes.
The
short
answer
is
yes:
okay
is
the
location
of
section
8,
Housing,
Choice,
Voucher
participants
and
their
choices
and
whether
or
not
there
are
limitations
on
those
worth
part
of
this
report,
and
so
these
recommendations
to
obey
ban
that
reserve.
Thank
you
so.
A
B
I,
the
city,
so
the
housing,
division
and
cpad
and
regulatory
services
has
been
working
with
mPHA.
The
city
has
authorized
funding
to
support
a
landlord
incentive
funds
that
could
provide
support
financial
support
for
landlords
that
are
choosing
to
rent
to
section
8
housing
choice,
voucher
holders
and
that
financial
support
could
come
in
the
form
of
in
the
event
that
there's
any
damage
to
a
unit.
That's
not
covered
by
a
security
deposit,
potentially
a
first-time
rent.
You
know
renting
to
a
first-time
voter,
older
incentive
and
then
some
potential
financial
assistance
if
there's
any
rent
loss.
B
The
recommendations
here
again
there
are
multiple
recommendations,
but
to
summarize
to
research
and
evaluate
policy
initiatives
aimed
at
maintaining
tenant,
occupancy
and
affordability
and
to
develop
policy
and
tools
to
preserve
and
rehab
existing
housing.
I
will
spend
a
little
bit
more
time
on
this
one
than
the
others
just
because
there's
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
work.
That
is
happening
right
now
in
this
area
that
the
city
is
engaged
in
as
possible.
Earlier
the
city
innovation
team
has
been
very
involved
in
research.
B
Around
issues
of
evictions,
we've
been
working
with
partnering
with
the
family,
housing
fund
and
others
regulatory
services
group
to
look
at
whether
or
not
there's
any
intersection
between
high
number
high
filers
of
eviction
and
tier
3
property
owners
properties
that
may
have
physical
conditions
and
looking
to
see
if
there's,
if
there's,
if
there
could
be
expanded
use
of
tenant
remedies
actions.
These
are.
This
is
all
work.
That's
that's
currently
underway.
B
B
The
a
couple
of
things
that
we've
moved
forward
and
requested
in
the
2018
budget.
One
is
additional
funding
to
support
the
acquisition
and
funding,
or
these
naturally
occurring
properties
that
are
at
risk
of
being
sold
and
that
need
immediate
repairs
and
then
also
a
funding
proposal
in
the
budget
to
continue
to
support
important
work
like
a
tenant
hotline
to
get
information
about
in
referrals
about
rights,
their
tenant
rights,
as
well
as
to
fund
some
additional
legal
services
to
help
tenant
and
tenant,
enforce
those
rights.
B
Goal
number
three:
increased
access
to
home
ownership.
There
are
recommendations
here
specifically
to
address
the
disparity
rate
between
white
and
people
of
households
in
homeownership,
again,
there's
a
the
skin
amount
of
work
that
is
underway
here
at
the
city,
both
that
we're
working
on,
as
well
as
through
our
participation
in
the
homeownership
opportunity
in
Minneapolis,
which
is
a
regional
effort
chaired
with
by
Minnesota
homeownership
center
in
Minnesota
housing
and
involving
private
industry.
B
The
city,
the
city
also
has
identified
downpayment
assistance,
as
well
as
grants
that
help
support
community-based
organizations
that
do
capacity-building,
financial
counseling
and
homeownership
readiness
with
low-income
residents
and
residents
of
color.
The
and
the
city
has
expanded
its
support
for
Community,
Land,
Trust
and
other
long-term
affordability
models
and
has
also
committed
funds
in
the
2017
budget
to
help
support
additional
development
of
affordable
homes
on
on
infill
Lots.
B
So
I
continued
work
that
we're
doing
here
in
improving
the
disparity
rate
in
homeownership
work.
To
do
that's
work
that
the
the
study
recommended
includes
just
you
know,
continuing
to
look
at
innovative
models
such
as
leased
purchase
and
considering
two
additional
homeownership
options,
including
long-term
affordability,
goal
number
four
to
expand,
affordable
housing
funding,
and
this
this
recommendation
is
a
specific
really
to
local
local
jurisdictions,
using
local
funding
to
support
affordable
housing,
as
well
as
state
resources
to
fund,
affordable
housing
and
identifying
new
tools
that
currently
don't
exist.
B
So
the
recommendation
is
to
use
something
other
than
federal
funds,
and-
and
that
is
not
something
that
that
all
jurisdictions
around
the
metropolitan
area
do
the
city,
as
you
all
know,
has
long
supported
the
use
of
local
funding
for
affordable
housing
in
the
2017
budget.
There's
12
million
of
local
local
city
discretionary
dollars
that
have
been
budgeted
to
affordable
housing
work.
B
Work
to
do
that
was
mentioned
in
the
report
is
to
support
a
campaign
strategy
to
again
identify
new
sources
of
funds
for
new
dedicated
sources
of
funds
for
affordable
housing
and
specific
to
several
of
us
to
develop
long
term
affordability,
models
for
homeownership
goal,
number
five,
improved,
fair
and
affordable
housing
planning.
A
serious
and
sustained
effort
to
expand,
fair
and
affordable
housing
requires
ongoing
planning
research
and
capacity
building.
The
recommendation
here
is
to
help
develop
this
capacity
at
the
local
level
through
technical
assistance
plan,
review,
training,
etc.
B
B
B
This
recommend
this
goal
has
the
specific
recommendations
around
employing
and
modifying
zoning
code
and
regulatory
tools
to
reduce
impediments
to
affordable
housing
development.
This
the
work
that
a
lot
of
the
recommendations
here
are
these
dis
falls
into
the
category
of
recommendations
that
we've
already
adopted.
So
all
of
these
are
recommendations
to
a
lot
of
other
jurisdictions
in
the
metro
area
that
haven't
yet
adopted
these
things
and
the
50
minneapolis
has.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
the
first
couple
items
and
one
of
them
is
support,
appropriate
density,
and
that
especially
applies
to
space.
That
is
not
presently
used
or
is
underutilized,
and
noting
that
this
is
is
a
plan
to
combat
the
affordable
housing
crisis
that
we
presently
have.
B
B
It's
much
lower,
it's
1%
for
affordable
units,
so
there
is
a
shortage.
There's
there's
more
demand
for
rental
units
and
there
is
supply
right
now
so
that
that
puts
you,
know,
pressure
on
rent
and
and
creates
shortages
for
people
that
need
affordable
housing.
So
you
know,
adding
more
housing
to
the
housing
stock
is
something
that
can
alleviate
that.
Some
of
that
pressure
we're
growing.
You
saw
the
slides
about
the
population
growth,
so
we're
growing
and
we
need
additional
units
in
order
to
support
that
growth.
I
think.
B
Work
to
do
here
that
was
identified.
One
specific
to
Minneapolis
is
to
reconfigure
the
density
bonus,
strengthen
inclusionary
housing
policy
to
look
at
ways
to
better
promote
mixed
income,
housing
through
planning
zoning
approval
and
other
incentives,
consider
the
impact
of
of
design
and
building
material
requirements
on
affordable
housing
goals
and
consider
streamlining
administrative
processes,
goal
number
seven
institute
effective
and
meaningful
community
engagement.
Two
recommendation
here
to
allocate
resources
to
fund
effective
and
culturally
appropriate
community
engagement
around
housing
issues.
B
The
city
funded
a
large
portion
of
the
community
engagement
that
happened
through
this.
This
analysis
of
impediments
addendum
and
through
the
Minneapolis
2040
comprehensive
planning,
update
process.
The
city
has
developed
a
suite
of
engagement
methods
and
activated
them
to
to
expand
a
meaningful
dialogue
with
communities
of
color,
most
impacted
in
low-income
households,
most
impacted
by
by
these
issues.
B
There
is
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
underway
at
the
city
of
Minneapolis
in
this
area,
so
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
much
detail
here
other
than
to
list
off.
We
have
promise
zone
activities
establish
green
zones.
We
have
a
lot
of
targeted
employment
training
focus.
We
have
targeted
resources
on
specifically
to
areas
that
we
think
need
more
investment
listed
here.
B
We
have
the
near
North
strategic
framework,
green
homes,
north
great
streets
programs,
all
of
which
are
heavily
targeted
toward
areas
that
need
community
revitalization.
So
work
to
do
here
recommended
is
to
continue
to
use
data
and
resource
research
to
inform
policy
and
investment
and
expand
partnerships
within
community
and
organizations.
Goal
number
nine
support.
Multicultural
housing
needs
recommendation
to
work
with
existing
ethnic
and
cultural
organizations
to
reach
and
interact
with
ethnic
and
cultural
diversity
equate
work
underway
here.
B
This
is
references
stuff
like
the
ATU
ordinance,
duplex
minimum
lot
size,
funding
policy
and
selection
points
for
both
rental
and
homeownership
projects
serving
large
multi-generational
families.
Work
to
do
here
continue
to
work
in
partnership
and
disseminate
fair
housing,
information
and
resources.
B
Finally,
goal
number
10
support
residents,
fair
housing
rights
recommendations
here
involves
work
to
prevent
housing
discrimination
by
supporting
assisting
organizations
that
provide
fair
housing,
education
and
enforcement,
strengthen
affirmative
marketing
requirements
and
mitigate
displacement
that
may
occur
as
a
result
of
code
enforcement,
some
work
underway
here
or
the
to
2018
budget
proposal.
There
is
a
request
from
regulatory
services
to
hire
two
new
housing
inspection
staff
to
work
with
tenants
on
habitability
and
safety
concerns.
G
G
So
this
was
a
regional
analysis
of
impediments
I'm
one
and
we
are
a
city
that
has
leadership
that
is
completely
and
unequivocally
committed
to
doing
right
by
tenon,
producing,
affordable
housing,
maintaining
and
preserving
it,
and
looking
at
every
angle,
we
can
get
at
I'm
wondering
what
about
all
the
other
communities
that
participated
in
this
analysis
of
impediment.
I
mean
if
there's
one
thing
that
Myron
Orfield
got
right.
That
is
that
everybody
else
is
not
doing
their
part.
G
So
it
was
good
for
us
as
an
exercise
to
make
sure
we
were
on
track
and
that
we
were
doing
the
right
thing
and
being
a
leader
in
doing
the
right
thing,
and
we
certainly
have,
as
it
pertains
to
the
section
8
ordinance
and
the
advanced
notice
ordinance
and
our
look
into
expanding
tra
s
and
looking
at
just
cause
eviction.
But
is
anyone
doing
anything
else?
Are
other
cities
that
participated
in
this
regional
analysis
even
reviewing
this
with
their
elected
officials
and
stakeholders
and
I,
don't
mean
just
st.
G
Paul,
but
some
of
the
suburbs
are
doing
a
few
things
here
or
there
I
feel
like
we
got
dragged
into
this
as
a
result
of
us
doing
too
much
and
others
not
doing
enough.
And
now
what
we're
hearing
is
we're
doing
a
good
job.
There's
some
areas
for
us
to
improve,
but
we
want
to
do
that.
But
what
is
everybody
else
doing?
B
Sure
a
chair,
bender
comes
from
ever
goodman
I'll
speak
to
a
couple
of
points.
One
is
that
just
like
the
city
of
minneapolis
is
obligated
to
address
the
fair
housing
impediments
that
were
identified
in
this
analysis.
So
are
all
of
the
jurisdictions
that
receive
HUD
funding,
so
they
don't
have
to
take
like
we
don't
they
don't
have
to
adopt
any
of
the
specific
recommendations,
but
they
are
absolutely
obligated
to
proactively
try
to
address
these
barriers
and
to
demonstrate
and
document
that
they
are
doing
so
how
much
enforcement
there
will
be
from
HUD
on
that
issue.
B
I
can't
speak
to
on
the
issue
of
what
is
happening
around
the
metropolitan
area.
I
know
that
there
are
there's
a
lot
of
interest
on
that.
You
know
we've
been
trying
to
coordinate
with
and
make
sure
that
we're
tracking
what's
happening
in
some
other
cities.
There
are
other
cities
in
the
metro
area
that
are
interested
in
things
like
advance
notice
and
we've
been
trying
to
make
sure
that
we're
talking
to
them.
So
we
have
an
understanding
of
what
they're
doing
and
they
we.
G
So
now
not
anything
that
you
could
get
up
in
reports
as
we
pass
the
section
8
ordinance.
These
three
cities
are
also
doing
that
or
since
I
understand
that
there
are
some
cities
interested
in
working
with
us
on
advance
notice.
That's
great
I
love
that,
but
I
I
work
in
a
lot
of
multi
jurisdictional
ways
to
the
family
housing
fund
in
the
joint
Minneapolis,
st.
Paul,
Housing,
Finance
Board,
as
well
and
I'm.
Just
wondering.
Have
you
seen
any
other
presentations
on
the
analysis
to
fair
housing.
B
Share
bender
customer
Goodman,
there
are
some.
Yes,
there
is
some
reporting
back
happening.
The
60
restrictions
are
reporting
back
to
their
electives
as
their
governing
boards
in
various
ways
there
you
know
in
the
analysis
of
impediments,
there
were
best
practices
that
were
identified
in
other
cities
as
well.
There
are
other
cities
that
have
adopted
inclusionary
housing
policies
to
promote
more
mixed
income
housing.
There
are,
you
know
there
are
cities
and
counties
that
are
dedicating
local
resources
to
funding
affordable
housing.
So
those
are
the
types
of
things
that
were
specifically
called
out
as
being
positive
things.
B
A
Will
quickly
note
for
my
colleagues
and
folks
who
are
here
that
the
three
of
us
who
organized
the
session
today
have
distributed
a
fast
direction
to
try
to
capture
some
of
the
work
that
we've
heard
about
today
the
data
and
analysis,
but
then
really
the
recommendations
that
we
just
heard,
and
so
our
hope
is
to
vote
on
this
at
the
end
of
the
session
today.
So
I
don't
want
to
disrupt
the
conversation,
but
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
again.
For
my
colleagues,
this
is
directing
staff
to
continue
meeting.
A
That
includes
advance
notice,
work
on
flexibility
of
occupancy,
maximum
promotion
of
mixed
income,
housing,
a
lot
of
work
around
that
funding
strategies
and
preservation
of
existing
housing
work
with
ten
tenant
resource
groups,
including
legal
services,
and
getting
more
protections
to
renters
and
tenants
in
need
funding
for
housing,
inspection
staff
and
ongoing
work.
That's
part
of
our
comprehensive
plan
update
that
will
be
adopted
next
year
in
2018,
and
the
results
also
highlighted
and
asked
our
staff
to
look
more
deeply
into
some
new
areas
of
work
related
to
Just
Cause
eviction,
incentives
and
disincentives
that
reduce
evictions.
A
Those
could
be
financial
or
regulatory.
Looking
at
policies
like
a
first
right
of
refusal
to
building
sales
for
tenants,
stronger
enforcement
of
our
existing
tenant
protection
laws,
targeted
strategies
for
high
eviction
properties,
strengthened
conditions
for
rental
licensing
and
use
of
remedies
actions.
Again
much
of
this
was
captured
in
the
presentation
and
then
including
also
started.
The
strategy
were
pursuing
for
continuation
of
homeownership
rehabilitation
programs.
There's
been
some
change
in
that
or
staff
is
looking
at
ways
to
continue
that
work.
Financial
staff
support
that
continue.
A
This
work
with
our
partners
in
the
region
and
continued
analysis
of
the
issues
that
were
raised
in
this
particular
to
racial
and
ethnic
Sygic
segregation
in
our
city
and
looking
more
deeply
at
work
that
will
Center
the
work
of
housing,
disparities
between
white
households
and
houses
of
color
in
our
city.
So
that's
the
staff
direction
before
us.
I
could
see
a
couple
number
four
I
had
a
color
question
earlier.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
thank
you
for
the
staff
direction,
I'm
very
supportive,
and
thank
you
to
the
three
council
member
organizers
for
putting
this
on,
and
thank
you
to
staff.
This
is
an
extremely
comprehensive
analysis
here
and
it
touches
on
the
complexity
that
is
the
affordable
housing
crisis
and
the
complexity
that
is
there
housing
crisis
in
general.
So
three
items
like
I
kind
of
wanted
to
touch
on
the
first
was
was
funding,
no
matter
how
you
break
it
down.
D
A
lot
of
this
stuff
does
come
back
to
money
and
in
a
time
when
we're
losing
or
four
percent
nine
percent
low
income
tax
credits
from
the
state
were
potentially
losing
a
lot
of
the
CDBG
funding
from
the
federal
government.
I
do
think
that
the
city
is
going
to
have
to
step
up
to
be
more
than
just
a
final
gap-filler
I
mean
traditionally
speaking,
we've.
You
know
provided
$500,000
at
the
end
of
the
day,
once
all
of
the
other
funders
are
lined
up.
D
Maybe
we
provide
a
million
bucks
if
you're,
lucky
and
I
do
think
we're
going
to
need
to
do
significantly
more
than
that,
whether
that's
from
the
HRA
levy
or
that's
from
another
source
that
work
hopefully
committing
to
along
with
some
of
these
other
surrounding
jurisdictions.
It's
going
to
need
to
happen
because
these
funding
sources
are
drying
up
and
the
city.
If
we
really
do
value
it,
we're
going
to
need
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
in
a
bigger
way.
D
D
We
I
think
it
was
HUD
that
had
come
forward
with
several
recommendations
and
areas
where
they're
of
great
concern
the
highest
level
concern
that
they
had
in
terms
of
our
city
policy
was
our
maximum
occupancy
specifically
applying
to
families
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
believe
that
the
present
maximum
maximum
occupancy
is
three
non
blood
related
people.
Is
that
right?
So
it's
you
can't
have
any
more
than
three
people
that
are
not
built
here.
I
may.
B
D
So,
depending
on
the
makeup
of
the
housing
you
live
in,
you
cannot
have
more
than
either
three
or
five
people
that
are
unrelated
living
in
a
home
that
is
relatively
unique
to
our
city.
The
vast
majority
of
cities
throughout
the
country
have
done
away
with
this,
and-
and,
as
you
know,
this,
this
contributes
to
the
affordable,
affordable
housing
prices,
because
if
you
have
a
mansion
with
a
ton
of
rooms
in
it,
and
only
three
people
that
are
not
blood-related
can
live
there.
That
dramatically
increases
the
price.
Now,
that's
just
an
example.
D
In
addition
to
an
affordable
housing
crisis,
we
also
have
a
housing
crisis,
and
that
contributes
to
the
lack
of
affordability
in
our
city,
and
we
need
to
recognize
collectively
that
density
and
increasing
the
supply
and
stock
of
housing
in
our
city
does
aid
in
affordability,
especially
if
it's
on
underutilized
parcels.
You
know
we
talked
about
climate
change
a
lot
and
at
a
certain
point
you
generate.
You
have
a
consensus
where
99%
of
the
scientists
all
say
the
climate
change
is
happening
and
it's
due
to
man.
F
Think
mentor
and
I,
you
know,
I'm
listening
to
my
colleagues
and
I
I,
just
want
to
make
sure
that
whatever
we,
however
directionally
move
in,
we
don't
exacerbate
the
challenges
that
are
already
existing
in
neighborhoods
that
have
a
concentration
of
poverty
right
now
and
the
other
point
I
want
to
make.
Is
you
know
when
you
talk
about
people
living
in
a
mansion?
It
isn't
going
to
be
the
mansion.
F
That's
going
to
have
more
than
three
unrelated
people,
it's
going
to
be
a
single
family
home
where
many
many
unrelated
people
live,
because
that's
where
the
need
is,
and
that's
where
the,
where
the
actual
units
are
available,
it's
not
going
to
be
the
mansion,
so
the
other
thing
I
want
to
point
out
too,
is
when
we
talk
about
putting
additional
resources,
city
resources
into
development
of
affordable
housing.
We
have
to
remember
that,
along
with
that
goes
increased
property
taxes
and
property
taxes.
F
Our
part
of
the
picture
that
make
our
city
perhaps
more
unaffordable
than
places
that
surround
us.
We
have
higher
taxes
than
communities
around
us
so
again.
This
is
this
is
a
regional
problem.
You
know
if
we're,
if
we're
putting
a
whole
bunch
of
city
dollars
in
a
brazed,
our
levy
3%,
it
impacts
people
who
can
least
afford
to
pay
that
extra
property
tax,
and
it
makes
us
again
off
kilter
with
communities
that
surround
us.
That
are,
some
of
my
colleagues
pointed
out
doing
nothing.
So
the
challenge
for
us
is
to
find
a
balance.
F
Stuns
me
that
we
have
public
schools
in
the
city
that
might
have
you
know
five
percent
of
kids
that
are
kids
of
color,
and
we
have
schools
that
are
95%
kids
of
color,
that's
obscene,
that's
obscene
and
we
tolerated,
and
we
you
know
ignore
it.
We
make
our
housing
choices
based
on
those
kinds
of
decisions,
and
it's
it's
hypocrisy.
In
many
many
cases
at
its
best,
so
let's
not
whatever
we
do,
let's
not
make
the
problem
worse.
F
E
Uh.Thanks
mentor
and
I
appreciate
this
was
a
huge
amount
of
work
by
staff.
I
mean
I,
don't
mean
you
have
been
doing
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
over
a
significant
amount
of
time,
but
just
to
be
able
to
collect
this
and
present
it
to
us.
So
we
can
be
able
to
kind
of
put
our
arms
around
what's
sort
of
the
body
of
work.
That's
been
happening.
I
really
appreciate.
E
I
also
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
that
this
list
of
work
underway
and
work
to
do
is
quite
extensive
and
I
will
say:
there's
probably
some
things
that
are
not
even
fully
baked
into
that
of
course,
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
examine
what's
the
resource
that
is
there
to
be
able
to
work
through
these
things.
Both
the
policy,
how
we
best
use
resources.
E
The
can
all
the
different
areas
of
work
and
so
I
think
that's
in
part,
going
to
be
a
budget
area
question,
but
also
just
how
is
the
work
shared
amongst
departments
I
think
some
of
the
work
there's
some
questions
about.
Where
does
the
work
lie?
I,
don't
want
to
lose
this
piece
that,
to
be
quite
blunt,
work
on
tenant
issues
has
not
been
a
has,
has
not
been
a
focus
of
the
city
for
a
long
time.
This
is
a
newer
area
of
work
and
shifting
of
how
we're
approaching
the
work
and
I
really
appreciate.
E
I
think
it
was
some
of
the
work
of
the
innovation
team
originally
being
invited
by
regulatory
services
to
partner
with
that
department
to
help
them
kind
of
re-evaluate.
What's
the
balancing
of
of
our
work
so
that
we
are
are
more
balanced
between
looking
at
what
are
the
issues
facing
tenants
as
opposed
to
issues
facing
property
owners
and
and
owners
of
property
around
multifamily
properties?
E
And
so
this
has
really
been
a
shifting
of
the
work,
including
adding
the
section
8,
anti-discrimination,
ordinance
and
so
I
think
we
need
to
continue
to
look
at
what
are
those
items
that
are
both
the
resource
items
and
the
policy
items
that
need
to
go
in
to
continue
to
balance.
How
are
we
working
on
behalf
of
all
the
different
stakeholders
in
the
city,
and
so
I
wanted
to
call
that
out.
E
I
do
think,
too,
that
there
are
going
to
be
very
significant
issues
around
resources,
how
much
resource?
How
were
you
able
to
increase
our
resource?
Frankly,
at
a
time
when
federal
resources
are
not
resources
that
we
can
depend
on
and
that
we're
continuing
to
look
at
what
will
happen
with
CDBG
funds
and
other
things
that
have
been
a
traditional
source
of
how
we
devote
resource
that
comes
to
the
city
to
housing,
including
primarily
new
new,
affordable
housing
production,
as
well
as
the
preservation?
So
so,
anyway,
great
report
I,
really
appreciate
the
work.
E
I
think
it
is
good
to
get
the
work
out
there
in
a
way
that
the
public
can
feel
can
access
the
work
more,
including
asked
questions
about.
Why
are
these
the
priorities
today?
Where
are
we
going,
and
things
like
that?
So
I
think
this
was
an
important
presentation
and
it's
really
part
of
a
continuation,
I,
think
of
stakeholder
work
and
continued
publicizing
of
where
we
act
and
where
should
we
be
going.
G
You,
madam
chair
I,
want
to
thank
you
and
councilmember
glidden's
for
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
trying
to
get
this
focused.
This
is
a
very
large
issue
and
the
more
people
involved
in
trying
to
create
policies
surrounding
it.
The
better
I
want
to
note
that
the
city
is
not
a
housing
developer.
That's
not
what
we
do.
Our
job
is
to
partner
with
all
the
people
who
are
providing
housing
around
our
community
does
owners
of
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing,
Community,
Development,
Corporation's,
neighborhood
organizations
working
on
these
kinds
of
things.
G
We
have
to
constantly
remind
ourselves
that
we're
very
one
one
very
small
piece
of
the
pie,
and
so
anytime,
we
tip
the
applecart
in
one
direction.
We're
going
to
have
an
unintended
consequence,
so
I
want
to
encourage
us
to
continue
to
hold
the
hands
of
those
that
work
with
us
very
tightly
and
not
determine
who
the
good
guys
and
bad
guys
are.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
work
on
behalf
of
people
who
live
in
our
city
and
when
they
are
unjustly
removed
from
their
housing
for
no
reason
other
than
its
being
purchased.
G
We
need
to
go
to
our
friends
at
home
line
or
the
housing
justice
center.
We
need
to
follow
up
with
our
partners
and
Community
Development
Corporation's,
who
helped
preserve
this
housing,
but
we
need
to
also
convince
those
that
own
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing
who
love
their
tenants,
that
there
are
other
ways
forward
other
than
marking
up
to
market
rate,
while
working
with
developers
to
continue
to
increase
the
supply.
We
have.
G
The
ability
is
government
to
tie
all
of
the
pieces
together
in
a
really
good
way
and
I
would
urge
us
not
to
point
fingers
at
who's
not
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
be
doing.
I
asked
a
bunch
of
rhetorical
questions
to
point
out
that
we're
doing
a
lot
and
I
won't
point
out
the
people
that
aren't
doing
their
share
because
in
our
community
I
think
a
lot
of
people
are
doing
a
lot
of
things.
Council
member
comes
with
President
Johnson
brought
up
the
property
tax
issue
here
here.
G
I
completely
agree
with
you:
it's
not
just
the
cost
of
adding
additional
design
elements
to
buildings.
That's
driving
up
the
cost.
It's
also
increasing
property
taxes
without
some
sort
of
exemption
for
affordable,
we're
just
going
to
see
rents
increase
based
on
things
we're
doing,
and
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
that.
G
A
You
so
just
any
other
comments,
just
in
closing
before
we
take
the
vote
on
the
staff
action,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
move
the
staff
direction
and
then
I
just
really
want
to
thank
staff.
So
much
again
for
your
work
in
condensing
years
worth
of
work
into
a
two
hour
presentation.
We
know
so
much
of
the
work
that
you're
doing
goes
well
beyond
the
slides
that
you
presented.
I
also
want
to
know
so
many
people
in
the
room
who
are
experts
and
bring
so
much
value
to
this
conversation.
A
And
if
you
don't
see
the
thing
that
you
think
is
what
we
really
need
to
be
doing
reflected
here
today
we
have
an
open
door
to
talking
and
working
with.
All
of
you
continuing
into
the
future.
You've
been
important
partners
in
the
past
and
we
need
to
work
together
going
forward.
I
feel
a
really
deep
sense
of
urgency
to
accelerate
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
on
housing
stability
in
our
community.
A
When
I
talk
to
my
colleagues
across
the
country,
I
see
so
many
cities
that
really
miss
the
window
of
opportunity
that
we
are
in
right
now
so
to
stabilize
housing.
In
our
community
in
a
meaningful
way
and
I
think
that
includes
resources.
I
really
appreciate.
Council
President
Johnson's
comments
about
the
balance
between
property
tax
increases
and
resources
for
housing.
In
my
word,
where
eighty
percent
of
people
are
renters,
they
don't
often
get
a
separate
check.
That's
their
property
tax
check,
but
it's
passed
on,
of
course,
to
all
residents
of
our
city.
A
And
as
we
hear
questions
from
Council
members
and
see
the
maps,
we
see
that
our
neighborhoods
across
the
city,
while
we're
all
facing
issues
of
housing
stability.
The
solutions
are
really
different
in
different
parts
of
the
city
and
my
hope
is
through
the
comprehensive
plan
that
will
adopt
next
year.
That
we'll
be
able
to
get
to
that
finer
grain
of
geographic
strategies.
That's
you
know:
how
are
we
working
to
stabilize
housing
in
these
different
parts
of
the
city
with
different
market
pressures
and
issues?
So
thank
you
again.
