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.
