Mayor Tim Willson opened the meeting for the purpose of Informal Open Forum. Tykesha Crouch, 6825 Grimes Place N., stated her concern that Victoria Townhomes is trying to eliminate the Project Based Section 8 Program. She asked for the City Council's help to talk with the Townhome owners so they can retain affordable housing. Ms. Crouch provided the City with copies of correspondence relating to this issue. City Manager Curt Boganey stated the Townhome owner sent a letter in July of 2013 to residents explaining these plans; however,he does not recall the specifics of the owner's commitment to residents. That correspondence addressed Section 8 vouchers that would be available and what the owner was willing and able to do on behalf of the residents. The Council noted in this case, the best agency to assist is HOME Line. Mr. Boganey agreed HOME Line was the best resource to answer these types of questions and staff has been referring residents to that organization. Louis Logan, resident of Vitoria Townhomes, stated residents sent a letter to the Townhome's owner,but instead the property manager responded. He asked for the City Council's assistance. Eric Hauge, HOME Line Lead Tenant Organizer, stated they are working with Victoria Townhome residents to address their concerns. He noted that this housing has been in Brooklyn Center for a long time and a lot of government subsidies have been invested in this property. Mr. 06/09/14 -1- Hauge stated the long-term loss of this affordable housing is the larger concern so residents are asking for the City's assistance. Mayor Willson asked if this type of housing is lost through attrition when there is turnover of residents. Mr. Hauge stated there are 48 three-bedroom townhome units and explained the process that occurs when vouchers move out of the City or elsewhere and the impact on the number of available vouchers when federal funding is cut. The Council acknowledged this concern and asked questions of Mr. Hauge related to funding.
