.�DA SECTION : drganizational Business 1 N�. c-i ITEN1 DES�RIPT;CN REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: `�-24-75 >TING DEPT./DiV.: Adm Hausing Program -- Special Meeting DEPT_HEAD APPROVAL. MGR. REVIEWED/RECOMMEA1pS: We have recently been advised that the HUD area office will start receiving applications for housing assistance projects commencing March 1, and through April 30. We have also been advised that a total of 2700 units have been allocated to the metro area. 0£ that total S00 will be designated for the Metro Council and the remai.ning {2200) will be designated for tihe local metro housing authorities. The HUD area office has indicated that priority rating will be given to applications for new construction units under the 220Q unit allocation. I� is anticigated that St. Paul and Minneapolis will be the principal competitors for these units. It is unknown at this time whether communities, such as Roseville, could realistically appiy for rent subsidy units under the 2200 unit allocation. We have been informally advised, by the Metro Council, that Roseville would have a high priority for receiving a part of the 500 unit a-location, if the City would jointly apply with the Metro Council. l3nder their present distribution foxmula, Roseville may be eligible for up to 72 rent subsidy units. In order to jointly apply, the City Council would need �a pass a resolution requesting the Metro Counci� to include Roseville's needs in their application. This resolution needs to be adopted no ia�er than Monday, March 3, because the Metro Council appli- 3tion will be submit�ed approximately March 5. There are a number of critical questions that are unanswered at this time concerning the above alterna�ive and other organization and application alternatives. It is anticipated that these questions along with other information requested by the City Council can be responded to by Thursday (February 27th). It is, therefoxe, recommended that a special meeting be set £or �ither Thursday, February 27, or Mond.ay, Maxch 3, to revzew the information and for the Council to take whatever apgropriate action based on the information reviewed.
