About This Program in Minnesota

In Minneapolis, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in an MPHA building or with a voucher used in private housing.

How to Apply in Minnesota

Apply through MPHA at mphaonline.org when waitlists are open. Minneapolis prohibits source-of-income discrimination under a 2017 city ordinance upheld by the Minnesota Supreme Court in 2020, so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher or advertise "no Section 8" — though the ordinance has an undue-hardship exception and Minnesota has no statewide protection. Applications are free.
