Previous Consideration: <br />This position was part of the county's legislative agenda last year. During that time, local housing agencies <br />have continued collaborations with Minnesota Housing and members of relevant legislative committees <br />to determine an appropriate path forward. All agencies remain in agreement that the issue of affordable <br />senior housing is unlikely to be resolved without some kind of further action on the part of the state. <br />No Action: <br />The CDA could still act within its autonomous status, but would prefer to do so with the support of the <br />County Board. <br />Financial Implication: <br />Projects are still likely to require local investment as a component of securing assistance from the state. <br />To that extent, local governments may have to issue general obligation bonds or other public financing <br />tools in support of any senior housing projects that are pursued. <br />Contact Person: <br />Barbara Dacy, Executive Director <br />Washington County Community Development Agency <br />651-458-6556 <br />barbarad@washinp,toncountvcda.org <br />32 <br />
