RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF REAL

Resolution Book No.

Chairperson Harm suggested that determination of what is the best use of HRA
resources and investigation of the option of rehabilitating existing multi-family units for
elderly housing should be included in the proposal.
Commissioner Luettinger suggested that the resource information from a previous
senior housing study may be helpful but also questioned the need to look at the senior
housing market.
Tom Melchoir, Executive Director of Maxfield Research Group, stated that the
scope of the proposed analysis was twofold: 1) evaluate the current elderly housing
market and product types, and 2) provide guidelines for evaluating projects as they are
proposed to the HRA to determine if they meet the needs and the market.
Commissioner Susag stated that it appears that there is interest in a townhome
option and that this potential should be considered.
Commissioner Sandahl asked why it was proposed to only look at the seniors
market.
Executive Director Prosser that there is antidotal evidence that more seniors would
consider selling their single family home if they had better housing options to remain in the
community.
Executive Director Prosser reviewed HRA Letter No. 18 regarding the proposal
from Maxfield Research Group to provide an elderly housing needs analysis related to
short term and long term housing strategies.
