Community Initiatives Programs
Minnesota Housing connects our investments in homeownership to the larger goal of fostering strong communities. We build connections and partnerships with the communities, organizations, and agencies that are working on critical homeownership housing issues across the state.
We are working to do our part to ensure that everyone, regardless of where they live, has access to the essential ingredients for economic and social success: affordable homeownership housing, transportation choices, good schools, strong social networks, and access to healthy places.
Minnesota Housing’s Community Initiatives programs provide funding to assist cities, counties, tribal nations, developers, non-profits, and other organizations across Minnesota with their homeownership housing needs, including:
- New construction of homes
- Acquisition, rehabilitation, resale of homes
- Owner-occupied rehabilitation
- Construction loans
- Homeownership education, counseling, and coaching
- Manufactured home community redevelopment
