Your community's commitment and involvement has contributed to the region's overall economic competitiveness and its tangible progress in providing affordable and life-cycle housing for metro area residents. Looking ahead to 2000,the Metropolitan Council seeks your community's renewed participation and continued cooperation in Livable Communities efforts. As part of the LCA legislation,the Council annually notifies each community of its "Affordable and Life-cycle Housing Opporiunities Amount (ALHOA)". The ALHOA is derived from the formula prescribed in law including market value,tax capacity and tax rates by the county assessor. It is an amount of local expenditure to support or assist the development of affordable and life-cycle housing or maintain and preserve such housing. T'he enclosed ALHOA is the amount of local expenditure expected of the community during 2000. , Communities have some flexibility in determining which local expenditures fulfill the ALHOA contribution. Examples include local dollars contributed to housing assistance,development or rehabilitarion efforts,local housing inspection and code enforcement,or local taxes to support a local or county HRA. Incentives for your community's renewed participation include access to nearly$15 million for housing development,clean-up of polluted sites for business and housing development,and mixed-use and mixed-income development. Also,your community's ALHOA expenditure will be reported in the Council's Annual Housing Report Card required by the LCA. Your community's intent to participate in the 2000 LCA Local Housing Incentives Program is needed by Nov. 15. To help you in verifying your community's continued participation,a model resolution is enclosed. Planning assistance for staff or information presentations for elected officials are available by contacting your sector representative(see below). Questions about the ALHOA can be referred to Guy Peterson at 651/602-1418. We look forward to continuing our mutual commihnent to affordable and life-cycle housing. Thank you for your consideration.
