Who can apply

This program serves low-income families and individuals who meet HUD income limits for the Minnesota area (generally at or below 50% of area median income; many buildings prioritize 30%).

How to apply

1. Call the building at 612-870-4493 12/99 (managed by Property Solutions & Services Inc) and ask whether the waiting list is open and how to get an application.
2. Most buildings keep their own waiting list — this is separate from the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) Section 8 voucher list.
3. Submit proof of income, ID for every household member, and Social Security numbers where available.
4. When your name comes up, the management office verifies eligibility and offers a unit.

Your rights

Minneapolis city ordinance (adopted 2017) prohibits source-of-income discrimination, upheld by the Minnesota Supreme Court in Fletcher Properties, Inc. v. City of Minneapolis (2020); the ordinance includes an undue-hardship exception. Minnesota has no statewide source-of-income protection, so this right comes from city law and applies within Minneapolis
