Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the proper city officials to execute an agreement with the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Duluth (HRA) to share the cost of a senior housing developer position and to coordinate housing development services. The senior housing developer position will be funded 50 percent by HRA and 50 percent by the city. In 2019, the City of Duluth entered into a similar contract with the HRA to share the cost of a senior housing developer position. That contract has since expired. This contract is intended to continue the cost sharing agreement between the City and the HRA for a term of two years and may be extended for up to two additional two-year terms. This agreement reaffirms each party’s commitment to coordinating efforts related to housing development in Duluth.
