Executive Summary Roseville's multifamily housing and diversity are community assets. The mixture of the age, type, condition, cost, and use of the multifamily housing is unique and serves a wide range of residents. This multi-family study was initiated for the City through the Housing & Redevelopment Authority and the Planning Commission in 2003. The study process included gathering information on the characteristics of the buildings and, more importantly, the people who live in our multifamily buildings. This data collection has produced a wealth of information which can be used together with the City's single family housing characteristics to create a broad and deep view of the City's housing and population trends. The purpose of this study was to: • Understand the current quality and quantity of multi-family housing units within the City of Roseville. Understand the current Roseville multi-family demographics and identify target households for turnover and retention. • Understand where Roseville's renter population comes from and where it moves to. Understand the relations between household type, age, size, income and the multi-family quality of life for the residents. • Correlate the household needs (by household type) with those of the adjoining neighborhoods. • Develop a booklet or inventory of the multi-family demographics within the City by Census Block or Insight Block that can used as an annual benchmark to evaluate housing trends. As a relatively small community of 35,000 people Roseville is fortunate to have some of the best data collection and mapping techniques available. This provides the Council, HRA and commissions, as well as the staff, with excellent information to help make informed decisions regarding programs, changes in land use and use of existing and new city services from fire and police protection and to recreationalprogramming. In addition, the information can be used by prospective homeowners, renters and investors to more fully understand the complexion of an area with in Roseville. The data was collected primarily through a contract with John Carpenter of Excensus. His main objective was to gather demographic data relating to Roseville's Multi Family housing stock in 2003,with the assistance from the Community Development � staff. The following activities helped John and staff compile the information: • Using the City of Roseville building data base compatible with �IS ARCVIEW map formats, and working with the City �'rIS Coordinator, staff developed a booklet inventory of the multi-family proj ects and units within the City by Census Block or Insight Block that can used as a benchmark and be updated annually.
