2 MINNESOTA Baseline Housing Measures Introduction In 2007, The McKnight Foundation and HousingLink started collaboration on the Minnesota Baseline Housing Measures report. The intent of the report was to track activity, through a series of specific measurements, within the community in Minnesota. Benchmarks were identified to trace developments in the field and further policy discussion on system trends and performance, with an end-goal to most efficiently meet the need for and ultimately align efforts toward The McKnight Foundation s housing vision to increase family stability and link families to greater opportunity in our communities. The McKnight Foundation works toward the following housing objectives: To increase public acceptance of and support for high-quality as a community asset. To promote innovation and quality design beneficial for people, communities, and the environment. To accelerate the pace of production, preservation, and permanency of affordable housing. To advance regional housing strategies through high-capacity development entities that expand housing choice while creating healthier local housing markets. In the years following the Great Recession, the industry in Minnesota has responded to numerous threats, from the foreclosure crisis to falling federal spending 1 on housing and the growing ranks of the homeless 2. It is now challenged to adapt to a new context, a new normal, that is only now becoming apparent. Amid economic turmoil and socioeconomic shifts, the political and systems contexts have changed for the field. Minnesota has one of the most sophisticated systems in the country, and must now use its tremendous capacity to adapt to new realities not maintain the status quo. A future with less funding With the exception of the Recovery Act year of 2009, the federal government s annual spending on housing in Minnesota has dropped each year since 2008, with an actual FY 2012 total of $241 million coming in 56% below the FY 2008 total of $568 million 3. Operating in the congressional climate that brought about the Budget Control Act of 2011 and 2013 s budget sequestration suggests an austerity trend that is not likely to reverse in the near future. Major federal block grants for housing are down significantly from the early 2000s 4, and with them a lot of flexibility local agencies had previously for addressing needs at a community level. The state housing finance agency, Minnesota Housing, manages funding differently than the federal government and is not as trapped in parallel political stalemates. It cannot cover the Minnesota Baseline Housing Measures Introduction - October 2013 page 1 of 4

3 shortfall of past federal resources, but its role as chief funding disbursement source for everything from tax credits to family homeless prevention gives it capacity to identify needs closer to home and to deliver programs accordingly. State funding for housing and homeless services has returned to pre-recession levels after a $33 million biannual increase 5 during the last legislative session. In addition, the state benefited from a $35 million bonding bill during the 2012 legislative session, thanks in large part to a strong bi-partisan support and the work of the Homes For All coalition of metro area community partners. The percentage of cost-burdened households (those which spend more than 30% of their income on housing) has increased from 47% of Twin Cities metro households in 2007 to 51% in At the same time, changes in the market have created more rental demand, less ownership opportunity, and greater development pressure in the urban core. The increased pressure suggests an even greater expansion of cost-burdened households. The demand for transit-rich places has also increased as low-income households grapple with housing plus transportation (H+T) 6 costs that have reached all-time highs, often exceeding 60% of their income. For low- and moderate-income families, investment in efficient, transit-oriented rental housing is critical specifically, housing through which families gain access to a rich array of opportunities that contribute to housing stability and allow H+T budgets to go farther. This ties to an underlying, but infrequently discussed, emerging household income trend. Over time housing plus transportation costs have continued to rise, while incomes in the lower and middle income brackets have remained stagnant 7. This is particular troubling when disparities in income and employment are layered on top of this trend. In 2011, the unemployment rate for Black or African American residents in Minnesota was over three times that of White, non- Hispanic Minnesotans 8. Of course, this reality impacts homeownership opportunities as well. Minnesota, which has traditionally had one of the highest homeownership rates in the country, dropped by 4.3 percent from 2006 to During that same period, the homeownership gap between white and emerging market (e.g. non-white) households widened from 33% to 39% 10. These structural changes result from a combination of factors, ranging from families losing homes due to foreclosure to tightening credit markets creating barriers to homeownership or new, prospective first-time homeowners choosing to rent instead. Demographic and Market Realities In addition to shifting economic and political realities shaping the marketplace, the demographics and demand for housing types, location, and tenure are also changing challenging many baseline assumptions that drove past development. Consider: 28% of U.S. households now consist of a single person, the highest level in history 11. Retiring seniors, often downsizing as they consider the disposition of their homes, are increasingly recognizing a need for transit accessibility and walkable communities 12.

4 The current generation of young adults, Generation Y, is creating huge market demand for urban and transportation-rich locations, and not ownership but rental housing to fit their lifestyles, with 77 percent planning to live in an urban core 13. Minnesota s immigrant population, with larger families than its U.S.-born population 14 and increasingly with suburban residency 15, requires housing with more bedrooms and in closer proximity to education, community, and amenities to meet cultural needs. Twin Cities suburbanization of poverty is occurring such that, for the first time, more people are living below the poverty line in the suburbs than in the central cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul 16. These are not small trends but generational shifts that diverge from longtime housing models and assumptions, established for a different time. Meeting market demand while addressing these shifts will require innovation in design, placemaking strategies, and very creative use of existing spaces to accommodate the new realities. Lowering the Cost to Develop Affordable Housing The National Housing Trust estimates that the practice of preservation results in a 40% savings per unit, as compared to producing new units 17. A HousingLink analysis of total development cost in Minnesota Housing s projects in 2010 corroborated that figure, finding a per-unit savings of 42%. Yet the percentage of preserved units as a percentage of overall development is stagnant, even trending slightly downward in the Twin Cities metro. Why? Certainly, very low rental vacancy rates have driven developers to build new units to add to the base. But within the affordable end of the market, there is a great and imminent need to preserve affordable contracts where they currently exist. Minnesota s data-tracking systems continue to align behind providing a reliable, targeted approach to preservation. Indeed, HousingLink s Streams database indicates that 650 properties, comprising 18,757 units, hold affordability contracts expiring by the end of Within the context of our emerging transit network and other place-based conditions that make for strong and viable housing markets, preservation targets can and should be identified and made priorities for investment. The Minnesota Preservation Plus Initiative, a multi-agency endeavor funded by the MacArthur Foundation, has a 10-year goal to preserve 18,000 units, both subsidized and unsubsidized 19. The key is to find a balance between those units for which preservation costs are highest but for which affordability commitments are the longest (generally federally subsidized housing), and those which require little-to-no direct cost of intervention but for which affordability remains subject to volatile market forces (affordable unsubsidized). 20 In addition, there may be opportunities yet to lower the per-unit cost of new affordable rental housing development which is likely to continue in the transit corridors at various stages of conception and development over the coming decades. This cost was estimated to be $200,000 per unit in We should also consider opportunities to explore repurposing existing structures to add to the housing base, rather than building new. And perhaps it is time to consider alternative manufactured products for affordable rental housing, or other means of public-private partnership to achieve an economy of scale that eludes individual developments.

5 Creative Alternatives and Leverage of Private Capital The road to meeting our community s needs cannot be navigated with strictly traditional investment approaches. With federal housing contracts expiring while funding for new units is being cut, this is the time to zero in on maximizing the benefits of shelter in combination with other aligned resources that lead to greater self-sufficiency and family stability. Cost-effective investments can provide long-term benefits and build bridges for more families to live in affordable, healthy, and sustainable housing markets. We believe Minnesota has the best system in the country, with a rare level of stable, longtime partnerships among engaged, creative, and capable entities throughout governmental and nonprofit sectors. For future success, these committed partners will need to adapt and innovate in a shifting field, reaching beyond the status quo. 1 McKnight Foundation, 2012 Housing Measures Report, Federal Funding Fact Sheet. 2 Homelessness in Minnesota is at an all-time high, Wilder Research, 2012 Minnesota Homeless Study Initial findings: Characteristics and trends, April McKnight Foundation, 2012 Housing Measures Report, Federal Funding Fact Sheet. 4 Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, Proposal to Greatly Expand Moving to Work Initiative Risks Deep Cuts in Housing Assistance Over Time, January This includes $25.4 million for MN Housing and $8 million for the Department of Human Services. 6 The H+T Affordability Index is a tool created by the Center for Neighborhood Technology that measures the true affordability of housing based on its location. 7 Household incomes increases from for the lowest two income quintiles are below two percent, according to The US Census Bureau data analyzed by the Brookings Institute s Tax Policy Center, accessed at in August MN Department of Employment and Economic Development, How Does MN Employment Compare?, Employment Review Magazine, October US Census American Community Survey. 10 McKnight Foundation, 2012 Housing Measures Report, Emerging Market Homeownership Initiative Fact Sheet. 11 US Census Data analyzed by CNN Money, Solo nation: American consumers stay single, Eric Klineberg, accessed at in August percent of seniors report a lack of accessible public transportation and one in four give their communities a grade of D or F for failing to offer important amenities within walking distance, according to the AARP Policy Institute in Preserving Affordability and Access in Livable Communities: Subsidized Housing Opportunities Near Transit and the 50+ Population, September RCLCO, Market Forces Shaping Reston s Future: The Economics of Sustainable Placemaking presentation, June Average 2010 household size was 3.26 for MN s foreign-born population, and 2.42 for native-born population, according to US Census and ACS data analyzed by the Migration Policy Institute and retrieved from the MPI Data Hub at in August, % of the Twin Cities Metro s foreign-born population lived in suburbs in 2010, as opposed to only 53% in 2000, according to HousingLink analysis of US Census data. 16 Metropolitan Policy Program at Brookings, The Suburbanization of Poverty: Trends in Metropolitan America 2000 to 2008, January National Housing Trust, Affordable Housing Preservation FAQs ( accessed June HousingLink, Streams ( accessed August Note that there may be other rental restrictions that remain in force within those same properties. 19 Greater Minnesota Housing Fund, Minnesota Preservation Plus ( accessed August Minnesota Urban Land Institute, The Space Between: Realities and Possibilities in Preserving Unsubsidized Affordable Housing, Housing Preservation Project, Gazing Over the Horizon: Preserving Federally-Subsidized Rental Housing, Minnesota Baseline Housing Measures Introduction - October 2013 page 4 of 4
