The Council will retain a professional property management company to provide day to day property management services. Additionally, Council staff will provide professional asset management to ensure all units are managed and maintained according to Council standards and are long-tenn community and neighborhood assets. What are the Council's property management standards?? In addition to providing quality affordable rental housing, the Council wants to ensure that its housing is a strong asset to communities. It is our goal that neighbors and other community members cannot ascertain by either the maintenance of the housing, nor by the behavior of residents, that the home is affordable rental housing. Rather, we will ensure that it is another spoke in the wheel of quality stable housing that helps provide a quality, stable community. We will be responsive and responsible to our residents and communities in ensuring that this goal is continually realized. Who will live in the FAHP Units? Up to' 30% of all F AHP units in each municipality may be leased based upon local preferences. To that end the Council will notify f~lieson the waiting lists maintained by the Council for Roseville.

Since the acquisition and operation of the FAHP units will be funded by fedetalfunds made..: available under the Hollman consent decree, 70% of the units will be made available to Minneapolis families whose rental units were demolished under the consent decree or otherwise . are affected by the consent decree. If the Council is not able to lease available F AHP units to Minneapolis families within 30 days, the Council may lease F AHP units to eligible families living in Roseville.
