February 7, 2011 <br />Ms. Karen Skepper <br />Community Development Manager <br />Anoka County HRA <br />2100 3rd Avenue <br />Anoka, MN 55303 <br />Dear Ms. Skepper: <br />Attached is the study Comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment for Anoka County, Minnesota <br />conducted by Maxfield Research Inc. The study projects housing demand in Anoka County <br />from 2010 to 2020 and provides recommendations on the amount and types of housing that could <br />be built to satisfy demand from current and future residents. <br />The Comprehensive Housing Needs Assessment finds that household growth and changes in <br />demographic characteristics and housing preferences will create demand for over 22,500 housing <br />units in Anoka County from 2010 to 2030. Included in this total is demand for 18,165 general <br />occupancy units and 4,405 senior housing units. The general occupancy demand includes <br />demand for 14,805 ownership units and 3,360 rental units. This includes demand for about <br />2,200 rental units from low- and moderate -income households. Assistance by the Anoka County <br />HRA and other government agencies may be necessary to ensure that the housing needs of these <br />lower and moderate income households is provided. Detailed information regarding housing <br />demand by community and recommended housing types can be found in the Conclusions and <br />Recommendations section at the end of the report. <br />We have enjoyed completing this assessment and are available should you have any further <br />questions or require additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />MAXFIELD RESEARCH INC. <br />Jay Thompson <br />Vice President <br />Attachment <br />612-338-0012 (fax) 612-904-7979 <br />615 First Avenue NE, Suite 500, Minneapolis, MN 55413 <br />www.maxfieldresearch.com <br />
