RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO PARTICIPATE
HOME SHARE PILOT PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Older Adult Home -Share Task Force was established in
October 1984 to study the need for a home -share housing program;
WHEREAS, the study area included the jurisdictions of the White
Bear Lake, Roseville and North St. Paul -Maplewood -Oakdale school
districts;
WHEREAS, the task force membership is multijurisdictional,
including but not limited to representatives of city government,
school districts, managers of seniors residences, senior health care
providers and senior counseling services from within the study area;
WHEREAS, in January, 1985, the Maplewood City Council authorized
$1297 for a needs assessment of which $1249 was expended;

participate in a home -share program as an alternative to having to
move from their homes;
WHEREAS, no program currently exists that can serve the estimated
demand in the study area;
WHEREAS, a three-year pilot expansion of Lutheran Social
Services' Share -A -Home program would be the most cost-effective means

from January 1, 1986 to December 31, 1986 would be $11,397.00;
