paragraph for this expanded drag area. A part of this study will be furnishing as part of the report detailed inventories of all such housing in and near the market area (including the full range of housing from independent to intensive assisted living); the analysis will include both subsidized and market rate housing, all fee structures, definition of services available, certification and licensure of all services provided, mix of current residents and all specialized programs. This will also include looking at the current mix of residents. This inventory will be limited by projects willing to share data. our typical experience is that nearly all projects will share data. This will be enhanced by a study being done by a public organization rather than a potentially competing agency. (4.3) Definition of styles of senior housing including description of housing type, type of resident attracted to such housing, fee structure, service structure, examples of successful (from both an occupancy, operational and financial perspective) of each type of housing. Based on these styles and existing housing stock in and near the market t area, refined demand for these projects will be completed. In the demand analysis, we will indicate optimal size for developments to be successful operationally. (4.4) All analysis will include projected fee structures for seniors based on both affordability and willingness of the senior market to access such housing types. In addition to `traditional" income data for seniors, other factors will be considered, including the value of homes occupied by seniors and potential income realized from the sale of the hone, when seniors are willing to spend principal from home sales versus only accessing the income realized from investment, etc. (4.1) We are suggesting that we complete the analysis defined above (through 4.4) based on available secondary data as explained, inventories completed and preliminary analysis done. After this analysis has been completed, we would then recommend conducting focus groups, which will include seniors, experts in the community and the Roseville senior Program Board. The focus groups will be structured so that persons can react to analysis that has been completed, assumptions used,-etc. The groups will call into question or confirm various points of view presented. In our experience this will provide much more specific and refined data than general inquiry sessions about what persons like, don't like, willingness to pay, etc. The fees quoted assume that we will have six such groups, with up to fifteen Orti0pants in each group. 2
