CHECKLIST FOR MEASURING PERFORMANCE 3 <br /> • publications, and we interviewed several housing organizations in Minnesota. In <br /> the following checklist,we converted the performance measures to"yes or no" <br /> questions to make it easier for cities to conduct a self-assessment. The measures <br /> are presented in an order that corresponds with the best practices recommended in <br /> Chapter 2. <br /> The following checklist is by no means exhaustive. Cities could track many other <br /> measures to evaluate their housing programs. Cities may choose to supplement <br /> the measures listed here with additional measures related to their own specific <br /> objectives. Even though each measure appears below only once, some measures <br /> may apply to more than one practice. For example,tracking the number of code <br /> violations voluntarily resolved as a percentage of all identified code violations <br /> applies to administering both local housing-related codes and the State Building <br /> Code. <br /> Checklist of Performance Measures <br /> Determine housing needs (p. 31 in Chapter 2) <br /> The following performance measures pertain to the best practices for identifying <br /> housing needs: collecting and analyzing information in the context of long-range <br /> planning and strategic thinking. <br /> Yes No <br /> A.
