What Does the Data Tell Us?
Since first collecting this data during the 2020 RFP, nearly half (48%) or more of the annual selected applicants for owner-occupied housing developments were owned or run by a woman or a person who is Indigenous, Black or of color. This included 22 of the 30 selected developments during the 2024 RFP.

Why Does It Matter?
Increasing the number of businesses owned or run by a woman or someone who is Indigenous, Black, or a person of color in housing developments ensures that a diverse range of companies and organizations benefit from the housing economy that Minnesota Housing helps finance.

What is Measured?
Applicants to Minnesota Housing’s Consolidated Request for Proposal (RFP) for owner-occupied housing receive points in the selection process if the organization is owned or run by a woman or someone who is Indigenous, Black or a person of color. This metric captures the number and share of selected developments that received points for this criterion.
Applicants for owner-occupied development funding include cities, Tribal Nations, Tribal housing corporations, developers, nonprofit organizations and school districts or charter schools.
