The following items were considered/identified as part of the assessment: - Dedicated support of rental units owned and operated by the HRA (currently the 13 Public Housing units and the addition of Dalton within the next 6 – 9 months) is needed; currently the Housing Program Supervisor is managing the Public Housing program. - The HRA’s HUD HCV budget is currently maximized so no additional vouchers can be issued. However, additional State funded vouchers will be available in early 2025 (approximately 15 vouchers) and there is the ability to pursue additional targeted HUD vouchers for foster youth, veterans, persons without a home, and others. Additional vouchers will put the current Housing Assistance Coordinator at workload capacity. - Currently, the Housing Assistance Coordinator has started processing downpayment assistance applications in addition to managing the voucher program; there has been an uptick in program inquiries and applications. - There is also a desire to shift the administration of the Single-Family Tax Rebate Program; currently it is managed by the CDA Project Manager. If the program ends at the end of this calendar year as currently slated, there would still be seven years of program work involved. There is also potential for the HRA to become a lender for the Minnesota Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program and Emergency & Accessibility Loan Program (RLP/ELP). The programs assist low-income homeowners in financing home improvements that directly affect the safety, habitability, energy efficiency or accessibility of their homes. Based on these needs, staff is recommending the hiring of a second Housing Assistance Coordinator. With the end of the contract construction specialist contract in April, there is ample budget to fund this position for the duration of this year. An additional amount would need to be included in future budget years, which is estimated at around $10,000 - $15,000 annually. Staff has reviewed the proposed position with HR representatives. If supported by the HRA Board, the position would be included on the County Board committee agenda on June 25 for direction.

The structure was torn down and the site was readied for redevelopment. A private citizen offered to purchase the property for $7,500 but eventually backed out. At this time, there is not an imminent plan for redevelopment. The CDA will be obtaining realtor services to sell lots in Pinewood Estates as well as the three homes that will be constructed using Impact Funds. The current assessed land value is $6,400. Because the HRA does not have a redevelopment plan for this parcel in place and the timing of the realtor services needed by the CDA, it is the recommendation of staff that the HRA attempts to sell this property to an income qualifying buyer, utilizing the same realtor that the CDA retains. If the property fails to sell within a specified timeline, the HRA will then proceed with redevelopment.
