Livable Communities grants
The Metropolitan Council offers grants for some real estate projects. The grant program gives people more options for housing and jobs.
About
The Metropolitan Council funds the Livable Communities program.
Each year, the City chooses projects through our sponsorship application process. Then we apply for Livable Communities grants on behalf of the selected projects.
The program funds projects that support the Metropolitan Council’s goals.
