Funding Availability for Consolidated Request for Proposals (RFP)

Minnesota Housing and Funding Partners Announce Funding Availability

Application materials, instructions and information on technical assistance are now available for the following RFPs:

Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals to generate housing related economic activity and address affordable housing needs to the maximum extent and as quickly as possible. 

There is a preference for transit-oriented development for all proposals, which specifically refers to proposals near services, light rail, or main bus arterial routes.  Proposals will be carefully reviewed for cost containment given overall economic circumstances. Proposals that are development ready, stimulate job growth and leverage federal fiscal stimulus funding will be given priority. Attention will also be given to proposals that address foreclosure.

Current Funding Round Priorities
In addition to the strategic priorities outlined above, Minnesota Housing has determined the following additional priorities under this funding round:

Foreclosure remediation
Economic integration
Transit-oriented development
Development-ready proposals that stimulate job growth


Guidance Data for Applications
Minnesota Housing is providing community profiles to help target housing resources to areas of greatest need and impact. The agency will refine this information and analyses over the next few years so that future proposals can be ranked to more effectively align funding decisions with the agency’s mission and strategic priorities. However, while these improvements are being made, Minnesota Housing strongly encourages applicants to use the current information to strengthen their proposals and resource targeting.

Spring 2010 Community Profiles
The community profiles in the link above are a discussion draft. Minnesota Housing would appreciate your comments about the data and analysis.
