A public comment period is now open for a report to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development with a public hearing Aug. 20.
The Minneapolis Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report reviews how the City used its HUD entitlement grant funds. These funds support the City’s housing and community development strategies for residents with low and moderate incomes. The City will submit the final report to HUD at the end of August.
Programs, projects and strategies supported by these funds helped with the following goals:
- Provide decent affordable housing.
- Develop housing and services for people experiencing homelessness.
- Provide special needs housing.
- Expand economic opportunities.
- Improve neighborhood conditions.
Discover how over $18 million in funding was put to use in our community. What are your thoughts on how funds were used? Are there strategies in support of the above goals the City should consider as it develops its budget later this fall?
