3. Housing <br />Since the City has virtually no private vacant land available for the development of new <br />housing, it will emphasize the maintenance of the existing housing stock and encourage <br />the construction of additional housing in the Larpenteur Corridor if opportunities for <br />redevelopment arise. If that occurs, the City will make every effort to satisfy unmet needs <br />for affordable housing. Measures that maybe considered include: <br />1. Provision that at least 10 percent ofmulti-family rental projects be affordable <br />housing, if housing assistance is available. <br />2. Continuation of support for Section 8 rental assistance vouchers for low and <br />modest income residents. <br />To encourage home ownership and rehabilitate affordable housing, the City will also <br />1. Implement some form of licensing and safety inspection program for rentals in <br />single-family homes, duplexes and triplexes. <br />2. Participate as appropriate in Federal and State housing programs as may be made <br />available <br />3. Seek partnerships with non-profit community land trust organizations that <br />promote affordable home-ownership and rehabilitation of housing. <br />• <br />4. Continue to participate in partnerships with non-profit community organizations <br />which provide home maintenance and rehabilitation resources to both home- • <br />owners and owners of rental residential properties. <br />• <br />Falcon Heights Comprehensive Plan Draft January, 2008 Page IV - 14 <br />Part IV: Parks, Community, Economic Development, Implementation, Appendices <br />
