Joan Bulfer, Health Specialist, City of Bloomington

connection between health and housing in Richfield.
o Quantitative data for Richfield which was largely county based
o Qualitative data from focus groups and individual interviews
o There are lots of tradeoffs for housing issues
o Dental health is a common problem for renters nationally and we saw that in Richfield.
It’s a common trade off, forgoing dental care to pay rent.
o Parents had a lot of concern about keeping their kids in the same school.
- Recommendations

3. Housing Panel (80 min)
Moderator: Maria Regan Gonzalez, Mayor, City of Richfield
Julie Urban, Housing Manager, City of Richfield
Eric Johnson, Community Development Director, City of Bloomington
Stephanie Hawkinson, Affordable Housing Manager, City of Edina
- Stephanie
o Between 2008-2015, no new affordable housing built in Edina.
o Edina developed a policy for a fee in lieu of development for affordable housing, which
is $100,000. It now includes the fair house language and expanded the affordable
housing language to 20 years for projects.
o It is not an affordable housing policy, it affect new multifamily construction.
o Focus is on preserving what we have and protecting tenants.
o Mortgage assistance program (second mortgages)
o 4D program for supporting energy efficiency and struggling to get any interest.
o Just did their first NOAH rehab, with AEON.
1,400 market rate, 109 are affordable.
o Two new entirely affordable housing projects in the works.
- Eric
o Bloomington is at ground zero on this issue.
o NOAH workgroup since 2016
Three short term ordinances
• 90-day tenant protection
• Fair housing
• Opportunity housing ordinance
o Did analysis and outreach
Nexus study
Review best practices
Focused conversation
o Focus is on ensuing we have development and ensuring it is
affordable for 60% of AMI.
o This is a ground breaking ordinance that will transform
Bloomington.
• Walked through an example of how development tools can be used to
add value to the project.
• Ordinance will be effective Sep 1, 2019.
- Julie
o HRA was formed in 1974
They locally controlled and administered the affordable housing
Created chart on what we do on housing
• Four themes
o Health housing conditions
o Health neighborhoods
o Stable housing
o Affordable housing
Blue is resources the city has
Red are challenges
Green are opportunities
• Looking at process for energy efficiency
• Have limited funding for rehabilitation.
• Mention of the hoarding issue in the community
• Money is always a gap
• Shortage of larger family rental units (most are 1 br)
• Very low vacancy rate and the lack of affordable housing elsewhere is
putting additional pressure on market.
• Gap between costs and affordable units keeps increasing.
• Working on rephrasing how we work on this to not use stigmatized
language. What does it mean to call Richfield home.
o Questions:
Its it legal to charge for remediation of rental housing based on HEDA
• A – call homeline and they can answer it.
Can we change the name for affordable housing
• What about healthy housing
• Huge challenge for individuals who cant work and need housing
• Huge challenge for individuals working multiple jobs and still struggle
with affordability.
• We struggle to talk about housing in economic sense – if you think
about the massive cost of housing, when your cost burdened your not
contributing to the economy. In one example the low income housing
had more impact than the developer.
IT was unusual to see the board of health in the opportunity housing ordinance
conversation.
• It was a logical jump. They were already focused on it and knowing they
could have input on it and improve health was a good thing to do.
Would it be valuable to approach this regionally.
• There would be value in combining resources.
• The suburbs have not be building affordable housing.
• We need to change the way to do this, since we haven’t change the way
we build affordable housing.
• We need to keep local control but find a balance.
• The met council has made goals for each communities for affordable
housing. So we each have some responsibility.
• We do share a lot on how to do things.
Eric described the new funding opportunity, with below market returns to
address affordable.
