3.0 Discussion 3.1 Senior Housing Regeneration Program 3.1.1 The RHIZA did not allocate any funds in the 2008 budget for the SHRP program. Discussion with Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) has indicated that they will continue to offer the program to Roseville residents but may have to limit the number of homes they do in a year without RHRA involvement. GMHC does have one home that is listed at 1875 Dellwood Street and has been on the market since December 1, 2007. In addition one of the neighbors located at 1884 Dellwood Street has contacted GMHC to also participate in the SHRP program and will be coming on the market later this year. The RHRA has not contributed any financing for either of these homes. The SHRP program brochure is included in the RHRA packet. The brochure is stocked at the kiosk at City Hall. 3.1.2 Staff is recommending no change in the 2008 budget for funding of the SHRP program. 3.2 Multi-Family Rehab Program 3.2.1 The RHRA had a Multifamily Housing Report completed in October of 2004. The study findings where: • Approximately 9,000 Roseville residents live in some type of multifamily housing and over 70% of them pay rent. • Few than 350 new units of rental apartment have been built since 1990 and the majority of the rental units are 40 or more years old. (Based upon RHRA staff review this number may even be lower than what was in the report.) • The percentage of children living in Roseville's apartment is general between 6 and 7 percent of the apartment population. Person per household is about 1.34 person per household, which is quite close to the average housing density for all of the multifamily housing in the city. • The average age of householders in the apartment is 25-34 years old. The next largest group of householders is the 35-44 year old group. These two groups combined make up nearly 60 percent of the apartment householders. • The average age of the apartment dwellers is one generally associated with childrearing, yet the average number of person per household is quite low in the apartments. This indicates that many of the residents are single individuals. The size and layout of the apartments is important here as well; the majority of the apartments are one-bedroom (nearly 60 percent of all apartments in the city are one-bedroom) and nearly 40 percent of the apartments are two-bedroom units; the remaining slivers are efficiencies and three bedroom units or larger.
