Since 2019, at least two-thirds of all multifamily developments funded by Minnesota Housing have incorporated enhanced sustainability design and received additional selection points. In 2024, 15 of the 21 selected developments, or 71%, received additional points.

Minnesota’s climate has changed and will continue to change, affecting the well-being of our communities. Housing development and rehabilitation are significant contributors to energy and material waste and drivers in the use of hazardous materials. Minnesota Housing incentivizes multifamily developers to incorporate additional sustainability features into project design as part of its Multifamily Consolidated Request for Proposal.

Applicants to Minnesota Housing’s Multifamily Consolidated Request for Proposal receive points that influence funding selections if their projects incorporate additional sustainability features into project design. This metric captures the number and share of selected projects that received additional selection points.
