The selections provide capital funding for development and rehabilitation of 27 projects as well as funding for five programs serving persons with HIV/AIDS and operating subsidies for two developments.
The Greater Minnesota Housing Fund, Family Housing Fund and the Metropolitan Council will provide the balance of funds. Of the multifamily projects and programs, 21 are in the Twin Cities and 13 are in outstate Minnesota.
