Achieving Our VlflON - HOUSING <br /> <br />Any residential community can only be as good as its housing stock. For this reason, <br />we addressed issues that are critical to maintaining quality housing in St. Louis Park: <br />how to provide a fair share of low-income housing while enhancing neighborhoods, <br />how to create more "move-up" housing, how to ensure safe and well-maintained <br />homes, and how to support quality multifamily housing. <br /> <br />Among our recommendations for preserving and improving St. Louis Park's housing <br />stock: <br /> · Limit additional low-income housing <br /> · Publicize existing housing-related services <br /> · Strengthen existing inspection, licensing and zoning <br /> · Encourage remodeling of homes and multifamily dwellings <br /> · Encourage maintenance of homes and muitifamily dwellings <br /> · Increase city rehabilitation loan funds <br /> · Pursue funding for first-time mortgage programs. <br /> <br />St. Louis Park has always been a leader in providing quality, affordable housing. These <br />recommendations will only enhance our community's "livability quotient" well into <br />the future. <br /> <br />Housing Task Force members: <br /> Sally Berdt <br /> Ardyce Eckdahl <br /> Wallace Eckdahl <br /> Judie Erickson <br /> Cynthia Guddai <br /> Bruce Larson <br /> Dudley Moyan <br /> John Palmatier <br /> Rick Person <br /> Tom Powers <br /> Sue Sanger, Chair <br /> Cindy $tromberg <br /> Lisa Thorson <br /> Jack Trump <br /> Tonya Walls <br /> <br />This is only a summary of the Housing Task Force Report for Vision St. Louis Park.
