Falcon Heights only requires licensing of structures with four or less units. Cities, generally, are not participating in programs that link individuals and families with affordable housing needs with availability in their communities. Lauderdale and Roseville have participated in the Met Council’s Livable Communities Program. Roseville has also worked with Corridors of Opportunity. Projecting Affordable Housing Needs The cities in the Roseville Area League are just beginning to update their comprehensive plans as required by the Metropolitan Council in 2018. When surveyed, they frequently did not have facts and figures readily available. To assist communities in assessing their comprehensive plans, the Metropolitan Council forecasts population and job growth. It also projects regional household growth and determines each community’s share of the regional need for housing. The figures below are based on a total regional need of 37,900 Affordable Housing units for the years 2021-2030. The numbers indicate how many units the Met Council has determined each community needs to add.
