Summary Background:
At its meeting in October 2020, the Enterprise Community Partners project team presented the City Council findings from the first phase to develop Hyattsville’s Housing Action Agenda and synthesized community input from recent plans and studies, which identified priorities among stakeholders engaged in those efforts. The City Council then prioritized four housing needs that will serve as the focal point for its Housing Action Agenda:
1. Rental Assistance for low-income households (11)
2. Clear, consistent regulatory environment (7)
3. Property tax burden on homeowners (6)
4. Gap in homeownership rates by race and ethnicity (6)
For the follow-up workshop to be conducted during the November 16 Council meeting, the City Council will be asked to reflect on the following questions for each of the four housing needs selected:
• In ten years, how would we know that the City of Hyattsville was successful in addressing this need?
o What will you achieve? How will you know when success has been achieved?
o What are the expectations?
o What knowledge, skills, or ability are needed to achieve this strategic priority? What resources are available? Are there any constraints?
o How does this priority relate to the City's broader vision? the County's broader vision?
o When would this strategic priority be accomplished? What milestones would show progress towards its achievement?
Next Steps:
Phase II Workshop is scheduled for December 21, 2020.
