RESOLUTION ADOPTED AUTHORIZING ST. LOUIS PARK HOUSING AUTHORITY TO ADMINISTER
RENTAL ASSISTANCE IN CITY Executive Director Hughes explained that the
Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) recently awarded the City of St. Louis
Park's request for rental assistance for family stabilization purposes. The
program will provide rental assistance for 25 low and moderate income
families, provided they participate in the Employment Action Center's case
management, vocational counseling, and ,job placement programs in order to help
them achieve self-sufficiency. MHFA's approval of this funding request was
based upon the presumption that up to one-third of the assisted families may
reside outside of St. Louis Park. The cities of Golden Valley, Plymouth,
Minnetonka, Hopkins, as well as Edina, have been asked to participate in the
program. If Council chooses to participate, the City of St. Louis Park would
provide all administrative services relative to the placement of a family. The
City of Edina would incur no expenses in connection with this program.
After a brief discussion, Member Smith introduced the following resolution and
moved its approval:
