Item City of Maplewood Housing Policy Implementation: Distressed Housing Rehabilitation(Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2022) Eldridge, Krystin; Weidensee, Marah; Logsden, Libby; Foley, LucasThis project was completed as part of a partnership between the City of Maplewood and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (https://rcp.umn.edu/). The goal of this project was to identify best practices to create a program that offers affordable, owner-occupied, single-family homes. City of Maplewood project lead Jeff Thomson collaborated with a team of students in Dr. Anthony Damiano’s course PA 5261 to research case studies of distressed housing rehabilitation program models, racial equity concerns and opportunities, and possible financing mechanisms. A final student report and PowerPoint presentation slides from the project are available.Item Recommendations for a Proposed Hennepin County Guaranteed Basic Income Pilot Program(2022-07) Foley, Lucas; Krengel, Shonni; Rutzick, Shelby; Waller, CalvinThis paper provides foundational information and background research on guaranteed basic income (GBI) programs to inform Hennepin County on their proposed pilot GBI program. Guaranteed income follows a targeted approach to address income inequality through providing cash payments directly to individuals (Newark Movement for Economic Equity, 2022). The payment is unconditional, meaning there are no strings attached and there are no work requirements. Before launching a pilot program, Hennepin County has prioritized advancing racial equity and minimizing benefit cliffs. Benefit cliffs are especially important to Hennepin County because additional monthly income could impact enrollment and benefit amounts that households may currently receive from social benefit programs.
