Draft Draft Draft <br /> 7/29/2010 <br /> CITY OF CENTERVILLE <br /> Affordable Housing Action Plan <br /> Livable Communities Act <br /> Affordability is an important part of establishing life -cycle housing. In 1995 <br /> prior to the local comprehensive plan updates prepared for the period of 1998 <br /> and 2008 the Metropolitan Council created the Livable Communities Act <br /> (LCA). The goal of this program was to stimulate construction of affordable <br /> housing within the seven - county metropolitan region. Metro area communities <br /> were asked to participate voluntarily and Centerville has been a participant <br /> since its inception. Once they choose to participate, communities negotiate <br /> life -cycle housing goals with the Metropolitan Council. Various grant <br /> programs were established to assist local government in meeting their goals. <br /> Centerville's goals for the period of 1996 -2010 are shown in Table 27. <br /> Table 27 - Livable Communities Act Goal Distribution <br /> Years <br /> 1996 -2000 2001 -2005 2006 -2010 <br /> Multiple Family /Affordable 60/7 70/7 60/7 <br /> Senior Housing /Affordable 16/16 0/0 14/14 <br /> Single Family /Affordable 125/45 125/30 125/22 <br /> Additional Non - Single Family 30 30 20 <br /> Source: City of Centerville <br /> Housing Action Plan <br /> Since 1996, 47 affordable rental units and 130 owner - occupied homes have <br /> been constructed in Centerville. Rental units are affordable to households <br /> earning 50% or less of the regional median income. Owner - occupied units are <br /> affordable to households earning 80% or less of the regional median income. <br /> These rates match the Metropolitan Council's definition of affordability, <br /> which stipulate that units are affordable if a household does not spend more <br /> than 30 percent of its income on housing expenses. The Twin Cities <br /> metropolitan area median income is $54,304. 80 percent of this amount is <br /> $43,443 is, which translates into a $201,800 owner - occupied home. <br /> 2020 LCA Goals <br /> As mentioned above the benchmark and goals expire in 2010. As part of the <br /> 2030 Regional Development Framework, the Metropolitan Council estimates <br /> that approximately 50,000 additional affordable housing units will be needed <br /> in the region during the planning period of 2011 -2020. The Metropolitan <br /> Council will be working with communities to g <br /> adopt new agreements in 2011 <br /> for the next ten year cycle. In order to do this the Metropolitan Council <br /> conducted the study "Determining Affordable Housing Need in the Twin Cities <br /> 2011- 2020 ". With this new plan the Metropolitan Council has changed their <br /> definition of affordable housing from of 80% of area median income to 60% of <br /> area median income. The study then described an allocation method to all <br /> communities within the region based on the following four criteria: <br />
