To (re)enroll you must adopt new affordable and life -cycle housing goals for the 2021-2030 decade by November 15, 2020, particularly if your city wishes to apply for LCA grants in 2021. Communities that do not adopt new housing goals by November 15, 2020, can adopt them by November 15 of any given year to be eligible for funding for the following year. Affordable and Life -cycle Housing Goals While enrollment can occur annually, to be consistent with other Council housing policies and measures, housing goals are determined by a methodology consistent across communities and cover the 10-year planning cycle. Council staff has been conducting outreach on the best way to determine 2021-2030 affordable and life -cycle housing goals in a variety of ways since December of 2019, which is summarized in a presentation provided at the May 4 Communities Development Committee meeting. The table below summarizes your community's 2021-2030 affordable and life -cycle housing goals. Attached you will find a detailed summary of the methodology used, including a comparison to how 2011-2020 goals were calculated. Table 1. City of Ramsey 2011-2020 and 2021-2030 Affordable and Life -cycle Housing Goals Decade Affordable Housing Goal Life -cycle Housing Goal 2011-2020 434-669 665-2,430 2021-2030 274-499 963 What's next? As mentioned earlier, communities that wish to enroll or re -enroll in LCA for the 2021-2030 decade need to adopt, by resolution, the affordable and lifecycle housing goals from the Table 1 by November 15, 2020. Attached is a template resolution for adopting your goals and stating the community's desire to participate in LCA. Again, you can opt to participate at any time, but must adopt your housing goals by November 15 of any given year to be able to apply for funds in the following year. No later than January 15, 2021 the Council will hold a public hearing and adopt participating communities' goals to formalize (re)enrollment. If you are undecided about enrolling or re -enrolling, or wish to speak with staff about how goals
