3.B. Approve Home Ownership Program for Equity (HOPE) Request for Qualifications 2023-2024.
Prepared By
Cherie Shoquist, Housing and Economic Development Manager
Myles Campbell, Planner
Summary
The Home Ownership Program for Equity (HOPE) program purpose is to provide affordable, owner-
occupied, single-family housing in Golden Valley. The program priority is for proposals from
organizations that have demonstrated success in building relationships of trust with Black, Indigenous
and people of color and in serving first generation homebuyers. HOPE also prioritizes homebuyers
with incomes at 60%-80% of Area Median Income. The land write down on City owned vacant lots
leverages additional resources to deepen the affordability of the homes.
Staff has identified the next four properties on the City property inventory as available land suitable
for development of affordable homeownership under the Public Land Disposition Policy. These are
City owned turn back properties or Minnesota Department of Transportation Properties conveyed to
the City in 2017.
Properties for consideration of affordable single family home development:
1611 Lilac Drive North
1211 Lilac Drive North
1121 Lilac Drive North
504 Lilac Drive North
Timeline
To achieve a level of affordability 60%- 80% of Area Median Income, leveraged resources from
Hennepin County, Metropolitan Council and/or Minnesota Housing will be needed. The timeline for
HOPE 2023-2024 anticipates HRA approval of the release of the Request for Qualified Developers in
December, the Request for Qualifications to be released in January, and HRA approval of qualified
developers in March 2023 in advance of the Minnesota Housing Request for Proposals release in April.
This timeline prepares for construction beginning in the spring of 2024, funding contingent.
Background

and Redevelopment Authority received and filed the City property inventory and recommendations on

homeownership. The properties the HRA identified to move forward with single family or duplex
development are: 2415 Douglas Drive, 1605 Douglas Drive, 208 Meander Road, and 4707 Circle Down.
On June 21, 2022 the HRA approved the Home Ownership Program for Equity (HOPE) Program

Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity as a qualified developer for 1605 Douglas Drive and Greater

Home Ownership Program for Equity
Request for Qualifications 2023-2024
Purpose: Provide affordable, owner-occupied, single family housing in Golden Valley.
The City of Golden Valley plans to make up to 15 publicly owned properties available
primarily for affordable single family or duplex development in the next few years. At
least one property is suitable for townhome development.
Priority: Proposals from organizations that have demonstrated success in building
relationships of trust with Black, Indigenous and people of color and in serving first
generation homebuyers.The City of Golden Valley strongly supports the development
of affordable housing in our city, throughout the Metro Area, and across the State.
Given existing racial disparities in housing, providing both affordable rental and
homeownership opportunity is not only vital to providing all individuals and families
with housing choice, but also with access to stable housing that impacts their health,
education, employment, and ability to build wealth. The suburban metro will benefit
from the economic impact of providing the necessary supply of affordable housing in
each of our communities and by providing affordable housing for all Black, Indigenous,
people of color, and lower income members of our communities.
Golden Valley will provide a land write down to achieve the following goals: reduce
racial disparity in homeownership, build wealth, provide long term affordability, and
support Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (owned, operated, employed, contracted,
subcontracted).

in-Taxation process.

impacts and includes programming to advance affordable housing goals.
