The Housing Plan, a chapter of the Saint Paul Comprehensive Plan (2008-2018), calls for the preparation of an annual Housing Action Plan. The last Housing Action Plan adopted by the City was in 2005; Housing Action Plans were not developed and adopted in 2006-2009 because the City was updating its broader policy framework and long-term housing goals in its Comprehensive Plan.

The purpose of this Housing Action Plan 2010-2013 is to:

  • Report on the market context of City/HRA housing activities in 2010;
  • Outline the implementation actions to be undertaken, including specific targets to be met over the course of the 2010-2013 time period in furtherance of the broader strategies and policies outlined in the Housing Plan and the Livable Communities Act;
  • Foster coordination between the Housing and ISP/NSP Teams of the City’s Department of Planning and Economic Development (PED), and between PED, the City’s Department of Safety and Inspections (DSI), and other housing organization partners.

A three-year planning period is used for housing activities to be implemented (2010-2013). The principal reason for this is that February 2013 is the deadline for having Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP2) funds committed. The Housing Action Plan was developed by the Housing Steering Committee during June-October 2010, and adopted by the City Council on November 24, 2010.
