Minnesota Urban and Rural Homesteading (State Funded) Loan Program (MURL)

The Minnesota Urban and Rural Homesteading (State Funded) Program (MURL Program) provides homeownership opportunities to homebuyers who will assist in stabilizing declining neighborhoods. The MURL Program is designed to arrest or prevent the spread of blight through the preservation of existing, dilapidated single family housing by promoting a financing mechanism to acquire and rehabilitate such housing. Homes are sold to At-Risk homebuyers, who agree to follow a "good neighbor" policy, via an interest free Contract for Deed.

Note: As of December 1, 2008, Minnesota Housing will no longer accept applications for participation in the MURL (State Funded) Program.
