    1. ITEM 2004-09 Application for HUD Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency Program
      Ms. Elverum provided an overview of this item, involving a resolution of support for an application to the Department of Housing & Urban Development's ROSS Program. This is a joint application with Vail Place to provide supportive services to the residents of Dow Towers. The funding would be for a three-year period and take the place of Hennepin County funding, which is being cut.
        The Commissioners voiced concern about what may happen if we do not receive the funding and suggested that a work session be scheduled on this topic.
        Commissioner Brausen moved, Commissioner Johnson seconded, to adopt Resolution 421, supporting submission to HUD of a joint application with Vail Place for funding under the Resident Opportunity and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) Program. The motion was approved unanimously.
  6. Adjournment
    Commissioner Brausen moved, Commissioner Johnson seconded, to adjourn the meeting. The motion was approved unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 7:30 pm.
