REQUEST FOR HRA ACTION <br />Date: 7-20-10 <br />Item No: 9 a. <br />Staff Approval: Agenda Section <br /> <br />Action Items <br />Item Description: Family Affordable Housing Program Amendment (HF0098) <br />Background <br />In 2000, the Metropolitan Council (Council) established its Family Affordable Housing Program <br />(FAHP). The City of Roseville voluntarily agreed in May 2001 to participate in the FAHP <br />initiative through a Cooperation Agreement (Attachment A). The Council now owns and <br />operates 15 FAHP units in the City of Roseville. The units were initially developed as scattered <br />site federal Public Housing Units and remain as such today. The Council has chosen to convert <br />these Public Housing units to Section 8 Project-Based Vouchers through the U.S. Department of <br />Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Voluntary Conversion regulations. The income <br />generated as a result of the conversion will allow the Council to help ensure the FAHP units <br />remain as available affordable housing and remain assets in your community. <br />The Council would like to amend the Cooperation Agreement (Attachment B) with the City to <br />reflect the conversion from public housing to Section 8. There are no other changes to the <br />agreement. In addition, the agreement has been sent to the City Attorney for review and <br />comment. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends that the RHRA recommend to the Roseville City Council to adopt the <br />Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement for the Metropolitan Council Family Affordable <br />Housing Program. <br />HRA Action <br />Motion to recommend that the Roseville City Council adopt the Amendment to the Cooperative <br />Agreement for the Metropolitan Council Family Affordable Housing Program. <br />Attachment A: Cooperative Agreement <br />Attachment B: Amendment to Cooperative Agreement <br />Prepared by: Jeanne Kelsey (651-792-7086) <br />FAHP Amendment (07-20-10) -Page 1 of 1 <br /> <br />
