As a <br />result, it is both politically and structurallyfinanciallychallenging to leverage SAC to promote affordable <br />housing. Through itsoutreach andengagement, and policy developmenton the 2040 Water <br />Resources Policy Plan, to be adopted in 2015, the Council will determine if there is a viable opportunity <br />to promote affordable housing production through its handling of SAC. The 2040 Water Resources <br />Policy Planwill conclude this conversation that began in the development of this HousingPolicy Plan; <br />any proposal that is subsequently adopted in the 2040 Water Resources Policy Planwill be included in <br />a future amendment to this Housing Policy Plan. <br />Page - 8|METROPOLITAN COUNCIL <br /> <br />
