<br /> <br />Councilmember Allen explained he was really pleased to hear that the County would be focusing on affordable <br />housing as this would greatly benefit cities. <br /> <br />Mr. Holdhusen discussed the great work being done by the Housing For All Initiative. He noted that <br />homelessness in Ramsey County had grown by 10% since 2007. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dunsworth thanked the County for providing this valuable information to the Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Allen commented the supply of low income housing units was too low at this time and <br />without these units available, more and more people were becoming homeless. He asked if the County had <br />funds available to assist with safety initiatives in multi-family housing units. Ms. Collins reported CDBG <br />funds could be used to assist with this. <br /> <br />Mayor Johnson reported the City recently approved a housing project that would have 358 affordable units at <br />60% AMI with 204 units being senior and 154 units for workforce housing. She stated she was proud of the <br />fact this development was being constructed in New Brighton. <br /> <br /> <br />Worksession adjourned at 6:08 pm <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Terri Spangrud <br />City Clerk <br />
