Specific strategies for Emerging Suburban Edge communities and Diversified Rural communities can <br />be found on Hugo's Community Page in the Local Plann1w. Handbook. <br />Forecasts <br />The Council uses the forecasts developed as part of Thrive to plan for regional systems. Communities <br />should base their planning work on these forecasts. Given the nature of long-range forecasts and the <br />planning timeline undertaken by most communities, the Council will maintain on-going dialogue with <br />communities to consider any changes in growth trends or community expectations about growth that <br />may have an impact on regional systems. <br />The Thrive forecasts for population, households, and employment for your community. are <br />2010 (actual <br />2014 (est.) <br />2020 <br />2030 <br />20440 <br />Population I 13,332 <br />14,201 <br />16,900 <br />22,800 <br />29,000 I <br />Households 4,990 <br />5,308 <br />6,700 <br />9,200 <br />11,900 <br />Employment 1,973 <br />2,692 <br />3,000 <br />3,500 <br />4,000 j <br />Housing Policy <br />The Council adopted the Housing Policy Plan on December 10, 2014, and amended the plan on July 8, <br />2015. The purpose of the plan is to provide leadership and guidance on regional housing needs and <br />challenges and to support Thrive MSP 2040. The Housing Policy Plan provides an integrated policy <br />framework to address housing challenges greater than any one city or county can tackle alone. <br />Consistent with state statute (Minn. Stat. 473.859, subd. 2(c) and subd. 4), communities must include a <br />housing element and implementation program in their local comprehensive plans that address existing <br />and projected housing needs. <br />The Council has also determined the regional need for low and moderate income housing for the <br />decade of 2021-2030 (see Part III and Appendix B in the Housing Policy Pian). <br />Hugo's share of the region's need for low and moderate income housing is 834 new units affordable to <br />households earning 80% of area median income (AMI) or below. Of these new units, the need is for <br />444 affordable to households earning at or below 30% of AMI, 342 affordable to households earning <br />31 % to 50% of AMI, and 48 affordable to households earning 51 % to 80% of AMI. <br />Affordable Housing Need Allocation for Hugo <br />At or below 30% AMI I 444 <br />31 to 50% AMI 342 <br />51 to 80% AMI 48 <br />Total Units 834 <br />Specific requirements for the housing element and housing implementation programs of local <br />comprehensive plans can be found in the Local Planning Handbook. <br />Page - 4 1 2015 SYSTEM STATEMENT — HUGO INTRODUCTION <br />
