Housing Research Questions
Duluth is a city of distinct neighborhoods that provide housing for today’s
residents. But what about the housing needs of the city’s residents in 2035?
New Development
1. Are there housing types that are missing or in short supply in the Duluth
market?
2. What kinds of housing should be planned for individuals and families moving
here?
3. Where should/could we target new developments, particularly in light of
people saying they want convenient access to amenities (neighborhood
businesses, transit, parks, jobs, etc.)?
4. A “no build” (or urban growth) boundary would limit infrastructure extensions
and preserve open space at the periphery of the city; would this limit future
success?
5. When redevelopment occurs, is resiliency to withstand natural disasters such
as the 2012 flood being taken into consideration? How do we define
resiliency and how far do we want to take it?
6. Where should new subsidized housing units be located?
7. Are there areas of the City where mixed use housing and commercial
buildings make sense?
8. What incentives are most effective to encourage construction of new
housing?
9. Design standards could be adopted to ensure new multi-family housing
projects are attractive; what are the cost implications?
Existing Development
1. How many owner-occupied homes are in need of major repairs? How many
rental properties?
2. Can older homes be modernized to fit today’s preferred lifestyle with open
concept, multiple bathrooms, home offices, etc.?
3. What best practices are most effective to increase energy efficiency in older
houses?
4. Is the City’s rental licensing program ensuring apartments are safe for
tenants? Could / should there be additional standards required? How do we
define "safe?" Do we care about exterior maintenance / neighborhood issues?
5. What new or revised incentives could the City use to encourage needed
housing rehab?
6. Are there new or different approaches the City could use to address blighted,
vacant housing that negatively impacts neighborhoods?
Housing Fairness & Equity
1. How can we ensure there are enough quality housing options available for all
households, at all income levels?
2. How do we encourage a variety of housing options in every neighborhood
throughout the City?
3. What steps can we take to eliminate housing discrimination and ensure Fair
Housing for all our citizens? What is missing from State/Federal law?
4. Many families and individuals of modest means have difficulty finding
adequate affordable housing, what can be done to change that?
5. How should people who need assistance with daily living tasks be provided
with housing?
6. Are there appropriate housing options for Seniors that address issues of
aging while allowing them to live in their preferred neighborhood?
7. Should new housing developments include universal design features?
8. At this point in time, how many new affordable housing units are needed?
What type? Number of units?
9. Is the city's existing affordable housing fully occupied and well maintained?
What is the total dollar value of the maintenance backlog? Are there tenants
living in public housing inappropriately, or who may have a higher income
potential?
