A Planning Commission Resolution recommending adoption of the plan is also enclosed. ihis plan demonstrates ►vith the list on page 3 the wide uariety of progras� efforts which`the City-:s supporting to meet the housing needs i�entified. It ��so indicates a very m�dest goal of 300 units of federal rental sub- sidy far lcwer income households over a 3-�ear period. This represents -r. less than 30°� of the rate at which housing assistance ��as be�ing provided in St. Paul over the severai year�s prior to the cut-back in housing programs by the present administration. The plan states that these goals will be revised when conclusions are reached in Washington on n�w housing resources to be r�ade available. This plan reflects the goals and policies arrived at in the Loa�er Income Housing Strategy adopted by the Council ir 1982. This plan is our fulfillment of the requirements for a Housing Assistance �'lan in our application for Community Development Block Gran funds. I recomrnend its adoption by the Council .

First, the plan will include ' an assessment of the need for housing assistance among Saint Paul households. Secondly, it will set forth a series of objectives and policies intended to inform the expenditure of federal, state and local housing assis- ' tance funds. For the City of Saint Paul, the purposes of the federally 1 mandated HAP are consistent with those of - " • the Lower Income Housing Strategy developed by the Saint Paul Planning Commission and adopted by the City Council ' on July 12, 1982. Intended as a three year plan to guide City housing-related activity through 1984, the Lower Income Housing Strategy includes many of the elements required of the HAP.

Condition 1 : Sound. Adequately maintained requiring � no, or very itt e, restoration. . Condition 2: Needing Minor Repair. Requiring repairs I to surfaces of the structural elements, usually painting of window frames, eaves and porches. , . Condition 3: Needing Major Repair. Often requiring roof replacement and painting of eaves, walls, window frames and porches; having deterioration of some structural elements. � � . Condition 4: Dilapidated. Damaged, rotted or missing structural elements, having extensive deterioration. , For the purposes of this plan, those units classified as Condition 1 are defined as "standard units" with the , remaining units considered "substandard". Those which are described as needing minor or major repair, however, are considered "suitable for rehabilitation". � .02 LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS An assessment •f the num�er •f h�useholds needing rental EXPECTED TO RESIDE assistance should include those which can be expected ! IN SAINT PAUL to move into the area. HUD guidelines suggest that an estimate of the number who can be "expected to reside" in the area should be based on levels of current employment, � planned employment and anticipated in-migration of elderly persons. For Saint Paul, it is expected that there will be little, if any, increase in the number of people , needing rental assistance resulting from in-migration. As a central city, the conditions in Saint Paul differ from those of other municipalities within the metropolitan , area. There is a well established trend of out-migration from the central city which seems almost independent � of the presence of employment opportunities in the City. , Relatively free transportation access to the City enables people to exercise their choice to live in the suburban area while working in the city. Specifically, the three , components affecting future population may be described as follows: � 4 ' , � . ' , . � Current Employment: Employment data for Saint Paul indi- , cate the number of jobs in the City has, at best, stayed about even over the past three years. While new jobs have been created, they tend only to balance losses exper- ienced over the same time period. � • A thou h efforts are bein made Planned Employment. 1 g 9 by the Department of Planning and Economic Development � and the Port Authority to attract new labor intensive business and industry, it is unlikely that any increase in the number of jobs will reverse a well established � pattern of out-migration of working age adults from the central city. Because of the accessibility of the city from surrounding suburbs, people can work in the city � and still exercise the choice to live in the suburbs. There is no reason to expect a dramatic reversal in that trend. I Elderly: Once again those elderly persons who might be expected to need rental assistance over the next three years generally already live in the City. Indeed, the � number of people over the age of 60 declined over the past decade, indicating little, if any, in-migration. The increased need which is expected to confront the , City is likely to come from present residents who are or will be unemployed or who face other difficulties in a time of general economic distress and reductions 1 in resources available for their assistance: � 2.03 IMPACT OF CONVERSION Although it can be expected there will be some conversion OF RENTAL HOUSING TO of rental housing, the rate of conversion has slowed OWNERSHIP STATUS dramatically in recent years. From a third quarter 1980 ' high of 125 units converted, the third guarter of 1982 saw the conversion of 5 units: There are several possible explanations for this change. � (1) Change in City Policy: In August 1981, the City established a policy that it would no longer provide , rehabilitation or mortgage assistance for the conver- sion of rental units unless the units have been vacant for at least five years or are owner-occupied 2, 3 or 4 unit rental buildings. Many of the conversions ' done between 1979 and 1981 were done with financing assistance from the City's below market interest rate programs. ' 5 � � � ' . ' 3 ' . 2 h n e in General Economic Conditions: Hi her OCags 9 interest rates and general economic instability have ' made the conversion of rental property for sale a greater economic risk. (3) Few Available Buildings: National data indicate , that the prime candidates for conversions are large multi-unit buildings requiring minimal rehabilitation or renovation. That has, indeed been the pattern ' in the suburban comnunities of the Twin Cities metro- politan area. Saint Paul has very few such buildings. The pattern in Saint Paul has been the conversion , of small historic buildings which have required sig- nificant investments in rehabilitation. Before 1981, that rehabilitation was often publicly assisted. ' With City assistance no longer' available and the absence of many large rental buildings, it is not expected that the rate of conversion will increase again. , For further discussion on the impact of conversions and City policies governing the conversion process, see the � Lower Income Nousing Strategy, pp. 30-32. 2.04 SPECIAL HOUSING NEEDS Minority Households ( The Metropolitan Council estimates that there are over 3,300 lower income minority households in Saint Paul which are inadequately housed. This represents just , over one-third of the City's minority households. Although exact figures are not available, it is estimated that almost half (42%) of these households are non-Hispanic � Blacks, while about 25% are Nispanics and 17� are American Indians, Asians or Pacific Islanders. The greatest increase can be attributed to the arrival of Southeast Asian refugees who make up about 16� of the total number of minority , households with housing needs. Not only are most of these households renters, as 87X 1 of them are, but the majority of them are families with children. Indeed, almost 43% of the total minority popwla- � tion in the City is under 18 - a percentage which can ' be expected to increase when one isolates the proportion of minority households which are lower income. , • , 6 � , � , ' ' . Therefore, it can be generalized that the minority housing need is concentrated in the rental housing market among � - families with children. This only underscores the need to conserve existing rental housing and provide to the extent possible, additional rental housing for small ' and large families. Sinqle Parent Households , In 1980, there were 8,795 households with children headed by a single parent. Over 87� of them were headed by women. Metropolitan Council estimates indicate that about half of those households headed by single parents , had incomes below 80% of the area median and all but about 6% of those lived in rental housing. Like minority households, it can be argued that lower income single � parent households are particularly vulnerable to shifts in the rental housing market (e.g., higher rents, lower vacancy rates, displacement) . It might be anticipated that with increasing vacancy rates and a decline in the ' rate of conversions of rental units to owner occupancy, some of the stress on this population group will be reduced. At the same time, however, it is expected that single � parent households will be particularly affected by reductions in traditional federal rental assistance, increasing the need for local government action to increase the ' supply of affordable rental housing. Handicapped Housing Need , Statistical data which provides an accurate indication of handicapped housinq needs in St. Paul is� not available. • It has been estimated that individuals with some mobility . impairment represent 9.8% of the metropolitan area popu- , lation. If this holds true for the city of St. Paul , it is an indication that there could be as many as 25,000 households where some mobility impairment is involved. ' Market experience with barrier-free units that have been made available to date provides the best indication of demand for housing design to meet this particular need. I When the 103-unit Lewis Park Housing Development for handicapped households opened in 15�80, initial occupants had to be chosen from a list of 600 qualified households ' interested in the units. While demand remains adequate to keep the units in this structure filled, it has not continued at the same high level . There are presently , approximately "40 households waiting for units at this facility. Most of these are elderly individuals. , � , � � ' 3 � . - . � , . . � The newest high-rise structures in the public inventory, Seal Street, and Hamline, contain a total of 35 barrier- free units. Of these 33 are presently occupied by ' � households with a mobility-impaired member. The Public Housing Agency indicates that demand for these units has been very weak. There is no waiting list. Much of the time it has been very difficult to fill the units with , households that need barrier-free space. A single-family house in the Highland Park area, a part of the Public Housing Agenc,y's scattered site inventory has been re- ' habilitated to provide a barrier-free unit. This unit was on the market for nearly six months before a qualified household was found. A similar single-family house on ' the East Side was finally rented to a non-handicapped household because there was no demand for the barrier- free space from a qualified handicapped household. ' The Division of Housing and Building Code Enforcement indicates that they have frequent complaints from builders who have been required to meet state requirements � for the inclusion of barrier-free units in newly constructed multi-family buildings. They indicate that there is no market for the units. , The experience of the Lewis Park development indicates that there is continuing need for units , and it may be the supportive community that this all-handicapped ' building provides that makes these units a litt}e different in the market from some of the others available. A 36-unit Section 202-funded handicapped development currently ' planned for a Railroad Island site will meet more of this need. Beyond this, it is apparent that market demand for barrier free units is not very strong. The City will � continue to monitor this need and 4�i11 support construction o- additional assisted barrier free units only where a particular need can be clearly identified. , , ' , . 8 , ' , � . . _ ' 3.0 THREE YEAR GOAL � , 3.01 GOALS FOR RENT L In a ocating renta ass�stance among e er y and fami y ASSISTANCE TO ELDERLY • households there traditionally has been a tendency to provide AND FAMILY HOUSEHOLDS more elderly housing than would seem justified by the ' percentage of total need represented by elderly households. It was in response to this trend that the Metropolitan ' Council included in its Areawide Housing Opportunity , Plan the requirement that communities use at least 60% of their housing subsidy for families. In Saint Paul , small and large families account for about , 65% of the total need for rental subsidy. The need felt by large families, in particular, however, is greater than their proportion of the population might suggest ' inasmuch as there are very few large rental units available and affordable to lower income households. While public housing waiting lists continue to grow for family units, ' vacancy problems exist in some elderly housing developments. For thesereasons the City intends to devote about 20% of k� � �` � any rental subsidies to large families while reducing the , resources available to elderly households to about 11% of the total . ' 3.02 DISPLACEMENT It is expected that there will be little, if any dis- . placement, caused by government action in the coming three years. There are three activities which may cause , displacement. . Construction of I-35E: There is one owner occupied ' structure yet to be acquired to allow for construction of the roadway. The household is eligible for reloca- - tion assistance. . ' . Rental Rehabilitation Program: Though it is not presently anticipated, there may be as many as 30 households displaced in the Rental Rehabilitation ' Program recently launched by the Housing Division. The division has secured Section 8 certificates to be used in the event that displacement is unavoidable. , . Neiqhborhood Partnership Program: A flexibly designed program, NPP is intended to be used for various neigh- borhood activities. Among those activities may be , the acquisition of properties for demolition or rehabilitation. Judging from the Identified Treatment Area (ITA) Program which was similarly conceived, , and resulted in very few acquisitions, it seems unlikely that there will be more than scattered displacement. Because NPP is funded in part with CDBG funds, displaced ' residents are eligible for relocation assistance. ' � 9 � , s � �ne n 3.� IM�LEME T TI N F THE a��r new Nr��ram in�tiatives exNecte t� e Sai t THREE YEAR GOALS Paul 's housing effort include: � (1) The Rental Rehabilitation�Loan Pro ram is designed to provi e pu ic an private funds for rehabilitation ' loans at an annual effective interest rate approximately one-half of the conventional rate as an incentive for owners to upgrade existing rental housing in Saint Paul . , Units rehabilitated under the program must be main- tained as rental units for at least eight years or ' � the outstanding period of the public financing, which- ever period is qreater. At least 51% of the initial occupants of any project must be lower income and ' the owner must tender at least a one-year lease to each initial tenant. (2) The Multi-Family Rental Housinq Development Program tis intende to provide "individualized" financing in the context of a comprehensive financing program for the new construction, rehabilitation or acquisition/ , rehabilitation of rental housing. In exchange for specially tailored financing for each project by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, the owner commits to: (1 ) maintain all units as rental , and , (2) maintain at least 20% of the units for occupancy by lower income households (15% of the units in projects ' located in target areas) for at least the qualified project period. � ' ' � , . 10 ' ' � . , ' ' . (3) Using CDBG and local capital improvement funds, the City has developed a program which will enable neigh- , borhoods to design and implement programs to meet their individual needs. Under the Neighborhood Partnership Program, neighborhoods will submit com- ' petitive applications for funding in which they will be asked to identify needs, activities to meet those needs and local private investments which will match public investments. ' The programs designed by neighborhoods may or may not directly address housing needs though it is ' anticipated that several neighborhoods will develop home improvement or rehabilitation loan and grant programs. In any case, all kinds of activities which ' strengthen neighborhood confidence (e.g. , crime prevention, street lighting, comnercial rehabilitation) can be argued to have a positive impact on private ' investment decisions. (4) Under the provisions of the Family Housing Fund (Phase II), the City will assist in the construction and ' mortgage financing of new owner-occupied housing. Emphasizing energy efficient, shared wall construction, the program will encourage the development of housing ' for mature households with the expectation that large family housing presently occupied by smaller households will be returned to the market. ' (5) For very low income home owners, the Deferred Payment . Loan Program and Ener Incentive Pro ram also a . deferred payment program have been developed as ' a means of protecting the City's housing stock from substantial deterioration. � (6) The number of households which can expect rental assistance is highly dependent on the nature and size of any federal program which might be designed to replace the present Section 8 program. Until , such a program is operational it is unrealistic for the City to establish more than very modest goals. � There is a possibility that some 30-50 Section 8 certificates may be available to the City under the provisions of the continuing resolution passed by ' the Congress in December 1982 which called for the redistribution of unused certificates. ' 11 ' � . • - � , � � The Cit also ho es to secure an allocation under y P the Section 202 program to provide financing and ' the necessary rental assistance for the development of 40-50 units of elderly housing. While the goal of 300 additional households to receive , rental assistance is modest, it seems realistic given the current projections for federal assistance. The City is willing, however, to accept assistance , for additional units if such funding should become available. Should a new rental assistance program be developed and funded at a level hiqher than that ' currently anticipated, ,these �oals will be revised. ' There are numerous other projects �f varying sizes which can be expected to yield new or improved housing over the next three years. Increasingly, with the loss of direct federal assistance to lower income households, , the City is concentrating on providing some appropriate level of assistance to developers, landlords or homeowners to enable them to provide the necessary housing. ' � , ' ' , � ' • 12 ' ' � ` _ . 4.0 ANNUAL GOAL , ' Li t d in Part IV are all the ro rams desi ned to facilitate , s e p g g the City's meeting its annual goals for 1983-84. With , few exceptions, these are ongoing programs or programs in the final stages of development. , .O1 GUIDELINES FOR Most of the rehabilitation programs administered by the REHABILITATION PROGRAMS City have guidelines requiring that all loan or deferred loan recipients have incomes below 8�of the area median. ' Indeed, the Deferred Payment Loan Program and the Energy Incentive Program are restricted to homeowners with incomes below 50% of inedian. , The Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program and the Energy UDAG for rental rehabilitation differ from the other � programs in that they require that only 51� of the assisted units be rented to lower income households. The one program in which there are no firm structural ' requirements that more than half of the resources be devoted to lower income households is the CDBG funded Neighborhood Partnership Program. Program guidelines, ' however, tend to encourage neighborhoods to design projects which will benefit lower income households. In the com- petitive application process, projects directed toward lower income residents are more highly rated than those ! which are not. Applications from areas with lower median incomes require lower private funding matches than those from higher income areas. CDBG funding, in any case, � may only be used in census tracts where the median income is below 80% of the area median. � In sum, established guidelines guarantee that well over half of the units projected to be rehabilitated under various programs administered by the City will benefit lower income households.
