Attachment A Roseville Affordable Housing Metropolitan Council Ownership and Rent Affordability Limits 2011 The Council’s definition of “affordable housing” represents the upper limit of monthly rents and home-purchase prices for housing referred to in Framework policy as affordable to low- and moderate-income families. These income limits for determining affordability have been a part of the foundation for goals negotiations and monitoring of goals progress with Livable Communities Act (LCA) participating cities since 1995, and have been the basis for counting all new affordable units in the housing stock, i.e., all new publicly-assisted and market rate units affordable to low-and-moderate income households. For units constructed in 2011 and beyond, the Council is using a consistent income limit of what a family of four with an income at or below 60 percent of area median income (AMI) can afford to pay in monthly housing costs for either rental housing or mortgage costs (including principal, interest, property taxes and homes insurance). Area Median Income for a family of four for 2011 in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area is $82,700. The median income for 60% of the area median income is $49,600 and the median income for 30% or the area median income is $24,800. This yields an affordable purchase price of $160,250 and $72,800 respectively for 2011. Affordable Rents are defined below for the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area.
