TO: Anne Hurlfurt, Executive Director
eHousingFROM: Edward Goldsmith, HRA SupervisorSUBJECT: Conversion of Tenant Based Section Choice Vouchers to Project Based
Section 8 Vouchers for the Proposed Stone Creek Village Development
Last fall, Dominium Development submitted applications to the Minnesota Housing Financc
Agency (MHFA) and Hennepin County for assistance to develop the Stone Creek Village rental
development at the northeast quadrant of State Highway 55 and Medicine Lake Drive West in
Plymouth. The proposal included the development of approximately 140 mixed -income rental
apartments. A minimum of 30 (21%) of the apartments were to be affordable rentals. Hennepin
County's Affordable Housing Incentive Fund Review Committee ranked this development second
uniong 46 proposals received front throughout all of Hennepin County, including the City of
Minneapolis. In spite of this high ranking, the proposal was not able to obtain an allocation of
Low-income Housing Tax Credits from the MHFA. Due to the limited amount of Tax Credits
available and the highly competitive nature of proposals received from throughout the state, the
Stone Creek Village proposal was not selected for funding by the MHFA.
The deadline for application for -the next allocation of Tax Credits is February I". Dominium
Development is considering submitting a revised application to the MHFA, if they can make
significant enhancements to the application to improve its chance of being funded. They have
determined that they can improve the competitiveness of their proposal by restructuring the
developers fees charged to the project and obtaining an allocation of "Project Based Section 8
Vouchers".
HUD regulations allow Section 8 housing agencies to convert up to 201/6 of their "Tenant Based
Section 8 Vouchers" to "Project Based Vouchers". "Project Based Vouchers" operate the same as
Tenant Based Vouchers" except that they arc assigned to a specific housing development, rather
than to individual program participants. Persons receiving "Project Based Vouchers" come from
the housing agency's waiting list, and must pass the devclopmcnt's standard tenant screening
procedures, the same as for "Tenant Based Vouchers". However, when the participant moves from
the development, the Voucher stays there and cannot be used by the participant at another location.
The Voucher is then offered to another applicant from the agency's waiting list.
The Metro HRA has allocated up to 700 of its Section 8 Vouchers for conversion to "Project
Based Vouchers" in communities where it operates. Although the Metro HRA does not operate in
Plymouth, l have been discussing with Metro HRA staff the possibility of extending the allocation
of their "Project Based Vouchers" to Plymouth developments. Since this would be a major change
in policy for the Metro HRA, we would not be able to obtain an allocation for the Stone Creek
Development proposal in time for the February 1" application deadline.
With a total allocation of 120 "Tenant Based Vouchers" the Plymouth HRA could convert up to 24
of its Vouchers to "Project Based Vouchers". We anticipate that the Stone Creek Village
Development would require up to 6 to 12 "Project Based Vouchers" to obtain sufficient points to
qualify for an allocation of Tax Credits that could be worth as much as $2.4 million in assistance
to the development. Although it still may be possible to obtain Metro HRA "Project Based
Vouchers" after the February I" deadline, Dominium Development will need a commitment from
the Plymouth HRA to provide these Vouchers, if Metro HRA Vouchers are not made available.
Given the significant amount of Tax Credit assistance that can be available by allocating a small
number of"Project Based Units" to the Stone Creek Development proposal. the HRA should make
a commitment to provide such units.
1 recommend that the Plymouth HRA authorize its Executive Director to negotiate and enter
Into a letter of intent to develop a cooperation agreement with Dominium Development for
the use of Project Based Section 8 Vouchers in conjunction with an application to the
Minnesota Housing Finaare Agency (MHFA) for an allocation or Low -Income Housing Tax
Credits for the Stone Creek Village Development proposal in accordance with applicable
regulations of the MHFA and the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
HUD).

DATE: January L2. 2001 for Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of January 18, 2001
TO: Ann urlburt. Executive Director
FROM: Melissa Carnicell I A Specialist through Edward Goldsmith." I11tA Supervisor
SUBJECT: Public Hearing and Adoption of Public Ilousing Agency Annual flan and Opening of the
Agency's Section 8 Waiting List
Prior to each fiscal year, we are required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
to adopt and submit an update to our Public Housing Agency (PHA) Annual Plan. The IIIIA Annual. Plan
advises HUD and the public of our current strategies for the Section (t Voucher Program.
If approved by the Board the attached PHA AnnLal Plan Update for 2001 ail make a number of changes
to our Section 8 program. The first is the chang; in the start date for our fiscal year from July 1 to
January I. This is based upon prior HUD approval to change our Section 8 fiscal year to correspond to
the Agency's fiscal year in order to com, ty with new HUD year-end reporting requirements. The second
is the change in our allocation from 72 general purpose Vouchers. 15 general purpose Certificates and 30
Mainstream special purpose Vouchers to 112 general purpose Vouchers and 30 Mainstream special
purpose Vouchers. The Mainstream Voe-kers are utilized exclusively for disabled program participants.
This change is necessary because of I -IUD's consolidation of the old Certificate and Voucher Rental
Assistance Programs into the new Housing Choice Voucher Program and the award of 25 new Vouches s
to the HRA. This gives the HRA a total allocation of 142 Vouchers. In •addition, we also administet 156
Vouchers that have been transferred into Plymouth from other jurisdictions. In total we currently
administer 275 leased Section 8 Vouchers.
Proposed policy changes include a modification in the definition of the "graduate of a self-sufficiency
program" to limit this preference to someone who has graduated from a self-sufficiency program within
12 months of selection from the program waiting list. A second proposed policy change includes a
review of the HUD approved fair market rents set at the 5e percentile of area rents when reviewing and
establishing the payment standards for a participant's rental. This is a recent change (effective December
I, 2000) made by HUD for a limited number of metropolitan service areas (MSA) including the
Minneapolis -St. Paul MSA. Previously, fair market rents were set at the 40P percentile of area rents.
This will allow us to approve higher private rents where appropriate.
Another new feature is the definition of "substantial deviation" from our Five -Year PHA Plan and
lbstantial amendment or modification" to the PHA Annual Plan. These definitions determine when the
HRA needs to hold a public hearing and obtain HUD approval before implementation of plan
amendments or modifications. Substantial deviation will be defined as any change to the HRA's mission
and/or the addition or deletion of HRA goals as stated in the Plan. Substantial amendment or
modification is defined as changes to rent or admission policies or organization of the waiting list: or
J changes to the Section 8 Administrative Plan.
Prior to submission of this updated Annual Plan to HUD, a public hearing must be held, members of a
resident advisory board must have the opportunity to review and comment upon the Plans, and the FIRA
Board of Commissioners must approve the Plan. As required. a forty-five day notice was published in
the Plymouth Sun -Sailor for the public hearing to be held January 18.21x11 and the Plan was submitted to
the members of the [IRA's Section 8 Resident Advisory Board for review and comment. A copy of the
transmittal letter to the Advisory Board is attached. No comments were received from the Resident
Advisory Board Members.
Upon adoption of the updated PHA Annual Plan, staff will begin the process of accepting application
requests for the Section 8 Voucher program starting on January 29ih and ending on January 31, 2001.
This is the first time in three years the waiting list has been opened. We anticipate that the number of
applications received will result in a new waiting list that will last for another 3 years. Attached is a copy
of the notice sent to local and minority media, rental communities, social service agencies, local housing
authorities. and local employers announcing the acceptance of application requests and describing the
application process.
1 recommend that after holding the scheduledpublic hearing and considering any public
comments, the HRA Board of Commissioners adopt the attached resolution approving the Public
Housing Agency Annual Plan for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2001, in accordance with
applicable HUD regulations.

At PHA option, provide a brief overview of die infmmstion in the Annual Plan
This 2001 Annual Plan updates the objectives and policies of the Plymouth Housing & Redevelopment
Authority (HRA). The Plymouth HRA serves approximately 260 very -low income families through its
administration of the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. In addition to providing rental assistance to
qualified households, Plymouth HRA also of ers.a voluntary family self-sufficiency program to Section 8
participants.

OMB Approval No: 25770226
From: 03/31/2002
Printed on: 12/27/009:59 AM
AThe City of Plymouth continues to experience a shortage of affordable housing for all eligible populations. The
O ;vacancy rate among all rental units in the City of Plymouth is 1.53 p-ment and the gross rents continue to
increase at an average rate of 4.7 percent each year. The Section 8 Voucher program has continued to work with
landlord recruitment and retention and during 2000, 87 percent of families issued vouchers found housing in the
City of Plymouth.
The local policies and efforts have made the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program a success in the City
of Plymouth. The Plymouth HRA will continue to use admission policies that target the very needy, by
providing equal opportunity assistance in low -poverty and economically viable areas and by proactive
communication of program changes and valuable services.
1. Summary of Policy or Program Chances for the Upcoming Year
In this section, briefly describe changes in policies or programs discussed in last yeses PHA Plan that are ant coveted in other sectionsof this
Update.
Two significant program changes will be made to the Annual Plan. The first is a change in our fiscal year from
July 1 to January 1. This has been requested by the Plymouth HRA and approved by HUD to reconcile
differences between the HRA's fiscal year and the Section 8 program's fiscal year. The second program cWD ;;
is a change to the breakout of voucher and certificate units under PHA Management. The 15 certificates
managed by the Plymouth HRA as noted in the 2000 Annual Plan have since been changed over to vouchers.
The HRA was also been awardei 25 Fair Share Vouchers effective September 1, 2000. This changes the
number of units served as 112 Section 8 Vouchers and 30 Special Purpose Section 8 Vouchers for the
ainstream Voucher program. I
Two policy changes will be made to the Annual Plan as well. The first policy change is that the local preference
given for self-sufficiency program involvement will be better defined in our Administrative Plan as those
families who are active participants in a self-sufficiency program or who have graduated from such program
within 12 months of being selected from the waiting, list". The current definition does not define how long the
preference would be extended to graduates of a self-sufficiency program. The second policy change is the
inclusion of increased fair market rents based on the S& percentile rent, as per the interim rule effective
December 1, 2000 as published in the Federal Register on October 2, 2000, when determining the payment
standards.

SUBJECT: Revision to t Propo Public Housing Agency Annual Plan
After distribution of the proposed Public Housing Agency Annual Plan to the HRA Board, the US
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) published revisions to their Section 8 Voucher
Project -Based Assistance (PBA) program. In order for the HRA to take advantage of this program, it
must incorporate a written policy in its Section 8 Voucher Program Administrative Plan and a
consistency statement in its PHA Annual Plan. Staff sees a potential for this program to assist in meeting
the Section 8 program, HRA. and City goals to maximize resources in support of affordable housing.
The PBA program allows the HRA to convert up to 20 percent of its Section 8 voucher funding from
tea:mt4mW assistance to rental asaistance available only for specific units or projects. For our current
allocation of 120 vouchers this would be a maximum of 24 PBA units. HUD allows the PBA program to
be used on new construction, rehabilitated units, and, more recently, on existing units. Staff believes that
the best use of this program would be for new construction and rehabilitated units where the project's
involvement in the PBA program would help to leverage funding forr affordable housing from other
sources.
Adoption of a PBA policy will give the HRA Board flexibility to choose to use the PBA program for
projects in the future. Before implementing this program the HRA would also have to amend its Five -
Year Agency Plan and the Section 8 Voucher Program Administrative Plan. Individual rn!%posals would
be fully :-_viewed by the HRA Board before any PBA would be provided for specific developments. The
program's availability could be very advantagec•is in mating the HRA's goals of creating more
affordable housing as well as encouraging and supporting developers to build affordable housing in the
City of Plymouth.
I recommend that after holding the scheduled public hesuft and considering any pubile
comments, the BRA Board of Commissioners substitate the attached revised Small PHA Phm
Update for the one distributed with rho or%ftW hoard report and adopt the resolution approving
this revised varston as the Pablic Housing Agony Amend Plan for the fiscal year beginning
Jamuary 1, 2001, In accordance with applicable BUD regalatlons.

The City of Plymouth contimaes to experience a shortage of affordable housing for all eligible populations. The
vacancy rate among all rental units in the City of Plymouth is 1.53 percent and the gross rents continue to
increase at an average rate of 4.7 percent each year. The Section 8 Voucher program has continued to work with
landlord recruitment ar.1 retention and during 2000.87 percent of families issued vouchers found housing in the
City of Plymouth.
The local policies and efforts have made the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program a success in the City
of Plymouth. The Plymouth HRA will continue to use admission policies that te.get the very needy, by
providing equal opportunity assistance in low -poverty and economically viable areas and by proactive
communication of program changes and valuable services.
1. Summary of Policy or Proeram Changes for the Upcoming Yesr
in this action, briery describe changes in policies or phopm disawed in his yeses PHA Plan !rut are not covered in older sections of this
Update.
Two significant program changes will be made to the Annual Plan. The fust is a change in our fiscal year from
July 1 to January 1. This has been requested by the Plymouth HRA and approved by HUD to reconcile
differences between the HRA's fiscal year and the Section 8 program's fiscal year. no second program change
is a change to the breakout of voucher and certificate units under PHA Management. The 15 certificates
managed by the Plymouth HRA as noted in the 2000 Annual Plan have since been changed over to vouchers.
The HRA was also been awarded 25 Fair Share Vouchers effective September 1, 2000. This changes the
number of units served as 112 Section 8 Vouchers and 30 Special Purpose Section 8 Vouchers for the
Mainstream Voucher program.
Three policy changes will be made to the Annual Plan as well. The first policy change is that the local
preference given for self-sufficiency program involvement will be better defined in our Administrative Plan as
those "families who are active participants in a self-sufficiency program or who have graduated from such
program within 12 months of being selected from the waiting list". The current definition does not define how
long the preference would be extended to graduates of a self-sufficiency program. The second policy change is
the inclusion of increased fair market rents based on the SO percentile rent, as per %he interim rule effective
December 1, 2000 as published m the Federal Register on October 2, 2000, when determining the payment
standards. The third change will be the addition to the Administrative Plan of a policy guiding the use of
Section 8 Vouchers for project based assistance. See Attachment D for a statement of consistency with the PHA

Attachment _&_: Project -Based Assistance Plan Consistency Statement
with PHA Plan
The Plymouth HRA anticipates the potential use of the project -based assistance (PBA)
program. The HRA will encourage the use of the PBA program with newly constricted
and rehabilitated units where the assistance would leverage or supplement other funding
for affordable units. The HRA projects using no more than 20 percent of its voucher
funding allocation for the PBA program. The PBA program would be available for
approved housing developments at various locations in the City of Plymouth.
This use of the PBA program rb insistent with the PHA Plan. Use of the PBA program
will meet the HRA's strategic goal of increasing the availability of decr at, safe, and
affordable housing. The HRA will use the PBA program as a strategy :o maximizethe
number of affordable units available with current resources and to target available
assistance to specific family types, where appropriate.

SUBJECT: Application for Additional Section 8 Vouchers
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently announced funding
available under the Section 8 Tcnant-Based Assistance Program to support additional Section 8
vouchers. In response, HRA staff has researched the need for such funding in Plymouth and has
begun preparing an application for additional vouchers.
R9 This new voucher funding is a state -based competitive application. The Plymouth HRA can
apply for a maximum of 35 additional vouchers. Staff believes this to be a manageable number
of vouchers to be added to the HRA's program. In 2000, Plymouth was awarded 25 new
vouchers under the same funding competition. This is an excellent opportunity for Plymouth to
increase its allocation of Section 8 vouchers as the more competitive larger housing authorities
are ineligible to apply at this time and it is expected that it may become more difficult to obtain
additional allocations in the future.
The rental communities in Plymouth have shown their ability to absorb additional Section 8
vouchers. Over the past four years, the number of participating households has grown 50
percent. As of January 2001, there are 275 participating households residing in Plymouth; of
these 120 are funded from the Plymouth HRA's Section 8 allocation and 155 are funded by other
Section 8 ag^ncies whose clients have transferred their vouchers to Plymouth.
1 recommend that the Board adopt the attached resolution directing staff to apply for HUD funding
for the Section 8 Voucher program.

SUBJECT: Targeted Marketing Program for Elmhurst and Elmhurst Gateway Study Areas
As a result of the information presented on the Elmhurst study areas at the November 16' HRA
meeting, the Board directed stats to develop a targeted program to promote Housing Rehabilitation
programs in the study areas. 1 have developed the following recommendations to target such
programs:
1. Develop and mail a survey to all residents in the study areas to determine interest in housing rehab
programs, income eligibility, demographic data, and obtain additional information on housing
conditions. Individual survey responses would be kept strictly confidential in order to encourage
a strong response tiom residents. Information obtained from the survey will be extremely useful
for grant applications and for specific targeting of programs. The survey process can also raise
awareness of available programs.
2. Immediately target the properties identified as being in "below average condition" by enclosing
the HRA Rehab program brochure and application with the survey. Staff will take appropriate
action based on the eligibility of interested households. Follow-up letters and personal contact as
appropriate will be used to target the homes in below average condition that do not return surveys
or applications.
3. Staff will follow-up on completed surveys and calls for additional information from residents with
appropriate actions, such as mailing HRA and/or MHFA brochures and applications to interested
households.
4. Survey data will be compiled to determine the interest and need for additional resources. This
data will be important in applying for additional funding from agencies such as the Minnesota
Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) and Metropolitan Council.
S. The targeted rehab program can be promoted on Cable 12, in the City newsletter, and local
newspapers as necessary.
6. Staff will update the HRA Board on progress of the targeted program.
I recommend that the HRA Board discuss the program outlined above and authorize staff to
begla implementation of this program for the Elmhurst and Elmhurst Gateway
Neighborhoods.

SUBJECT: Update on Village at Bassett Creek Townhome Purchase
At the November 16'" HRA Board meeting, the Board authorized HRA staff to negotiate the purchase of
a townhome in the Village at Bassett Creek. Staff negotiated a purchase price of $122,873 with the
seller, based on the formula in the resale restrictions. The price was $2,027 less than the maximum
amount authorized by the Board.
Due to the desire of the seller for a quick closing, the townhome was purchased on December 18'". The
final cost of the townhome, with closing costs, was $123,037.86. The HRA will be responsible for
carrying costs such as Homeowners Association dues and utilities unti! the home is sold. We have
started marketing the home through area non-profit agencies, local papers, and through calls for our
First Time Homebuyer Program.
The home will be resold for $125,000 and will have resale restrictions to maintain its affordability. An
application process was developed :o determine who would be eligible to purchase the home.
Applicants must be an income qualified first time homebuyer who currently lives or works in Plymouth.
They must also successfully complete First Time Homebuyers classes and be able to secure a first
mortgage from an approved lender for a sufncicm amount to purchase the home. Eligible applicants
may use assistance from the Plymouth First Time Homebuyer program to assist in the purchase of the
home.
Current maximum household income to purchase the home is the same as under the FTHB program:
1 person household maximum is $35,150 3 person household maximum is $45,200
2 person -household maximum is $40,150 4 person household maximum is $50,200
In addition preference points will be given to applicants meeting the following criteria:
Curently Lives in Plymouth I point
Currently Works in Plymouth: I point
Has dependent children living with them 1 point
If more than one application with a score of three is received by February 2e, a lottery will determine
who will be offered the But chance to purchase the home. Alternates will also be selected in the event
the first applicant selected is not able to purchase the home. We expect to be able to resell the property
by the end of March.
I recommend that the HRA Board authorize staff to continue as outlined above for the ale of this
property. Staff will update the Board on the status of the project before the resale of the
property.

Happy New Year.... Remember the start of last year, with all of the Y2K
information? Then who r,ill ever forget the election of all time elections.
The year 2000 will never be forgotten.
As I was looking for some inspiration to write my article, I sat down by the
fireplace and looked through the photo albums of past events in the
building. 1 think it is the first time I looked through each album. The.
pictures of the ground breaking, progress of the building, move-in's,
parties, etc. are absolutely wonderful. It brought back a lot. of memories
of the friends we have met here and how fortunate I am to work here and
you are to live here. I look forward to sharing the new year with each and
everyone of you. May this new year be filled with good health, good
friends and wonderful memories. HAPPY NEW YEARM!

cards, calls, etc. during Dennis illness and death. They were
honestly great strengths that have enabled me to go on. Your
thoughtfulness and generosity is much appreciated and I am

caring people who live in our building community. I've said this
before, "The True Spirit of the Christmas Season" is something
that we at Plymouth Towne Square are blessed with, all year
long. The true caring and sharing of each others joys. -and
sorrows is overwhelming. We are truly blessed

THEPRICELESS GIFT OF CHRISTMAS
Now Christmas is a season for joy Or some expensive luxury you've
and merrymaking, wanted very much...
A time for gifts and presents, for
giving and for taking...
A festive, friendly happy times
when everyone is gay -
But have we ever really felt the
greatness of the day...
For through the centuries the world
has wandered far away
From the beauty and the meaning
of the Holy Christmas Day...
For Christmas is a heavenly gift that
only God can give,
It's ours just for the asking, for as
long as we shall live...
It can't be bought or bartered, it
can't be won or sold,
It doesn't cost a penny and it's
worth far more than gold.
It isn't bright and gleaming for
eager eyes to see,
It can't be %%Tapped in tinsel or
placed beneath a tree...
It isn't soft and shimmering fo
reaching hands to touch,
For the priceless Gift of Christmas
is meant just for the heart
And we receive it only when we
become a part
Of the kingdom and the glory which
is ours to freely take,
For God sent the Holy Christ Child
at Christmas for our sake,
So man might come to know Him
and feel His Presence near
And see the many miracles
performed while He was here...
And this priceless Gift of Christmas
is within the reach of all,
The rich, the poor, the young and
old the greatest and the small...
So take His Priceless Gift of Love,
reach out and you receive,
And the only payment that God ask
is just that your believe!
Hanukkah is one of the most widely celebrated Jewish holidays possibly becauseofitstraditionofgiftgiving.
Hanukkah commemorates a struggle for religious freedom. The Macabees who
lived in Israel successfully fought against the Syrian/Greek army. They were able torecaptureJerusalemandrededicatetheTemple.
Hanukkah begins on the twenty-fifth day of the Hebrew month of kislev, which
usually occurs during the month of December. This year, Hanukkah begins on the
evening of December 215'
Why is Hanukkah celebrated for eight days? When the Macabees recaptured the
Temple, they needed to repurify it because it had been desecrated. When they were readytolighttheholylamps, they only found enough oil for twenty-four hours. A miracle
occurred, and the oil lasted a full eight days! The word Hanukkah means "dedication"
or "rededication."
Hanukkah is celebrated in homes, schools and synagogues. Each night of the
eight-day festival, Jews lightcandles in a Hanukiyah, a Hanukkah menorah that has nine
branches. (One branch is higher than the other for the shamash or servant candle which
is used to light the others.) Other traditiors include eating foods fried in oil (especially
potato latkes), story telling, playing dreidel, singing, giving of gelt (chocolate candy coinswrappedinfoil) and gift giving.
Dear Residents,
Thank you all for your encouraging words during the absence of MelodyandTom. I truly appreciate your concerns and your support.
May you and your families have a most blessed Holiday Season.
Merry Christmas,
