SUBJECT: Council Work Session on Affordable Housing
DATE: April 30, 2003
The purpose of this working paper is to propose a schedule for a Council Work Session to discuss affordable housing, non-profit organizations and the allocation of federal funds.
During a discussion of goals for 2003 at a Work Session on January 17, 2003, the Council discussed scheduling a work session to discuss a variety of housing related issues. Scheduling this work session in the second quarter of 2003 was approved as a 2003 Council Goal on February 24, 2003.
The Council identified the following issues for discussion at a Work Session:
1. Allocation of Community Development and HOME Program funds;
2. Improving the capacity for non-profit organizations; and
3. Building the most housing for the funds available.
On January 17, 2003, a Council member suggested scheduling this discussion on a budget work session date.
We presented potential dates to the Council at a Work Session on April 2, 2003, and were asked to identify new dates in June for consideration.
