ULI Minnesota and the Regional Council of Mayors Housing Initiative - Importance of Connecting Data with Housing Tools & Strategies Friday, February 19, 2010 12:00 – 1:30pm L-110 Honeywell Auditorium, Carlson School of Management 321 19th Avenue S, Minneapolis, MN 55455 (West Bank Campus) Directions and Parking: http://www1.umn.edu/twincities/maps/CarlSMgmt/ Presenting Speakers: Cathy Bennett, ULI MN/RCM Housing Initiative, Bennett Community Consulting John Carpenter, Excensus LLC The ULI MN/RCM Housing Initiative includes the Opportunity City Program which is a comprehensive, centralized, sustainable, learning community that provides support and resources to local municipal officials who seek a full range of housing choices including a diverse mix of housing types, sizes and prices. Detailed community change data, provided by Excensus, LLC, was a key component of the ULI MN/RCM Opportunity Cities Program made possible with financial support from the Family Housing Fund and Metropolitan Council. The data provided insight into residential profiles and housing types, and information regarding who is moving to and from the community. The information helped in the assessment of future development opportunity and reinvestment. The data, along with the Opportunity City Housing Audit, helped cities evaluate the outcomes related to specific performance of their programs and strategies. In every city, elected leaders and staff were energized by the data and how it informed their programs and policies. They were able to understand the importance of the data as an analysis tool for revising land use policies and making choices about development proposals related to providing new housing options to assessing transportation and employment needs.
