in Duluth

In June 2020, non-profit and for-profit affordable housing developers will be responding to the State of Minnesota Housing Finance Agency's “Request for Proposals” for the Housing Tax Credit program, which provides financial assistance to build or renovate rental properties. To be an eligible applicant, developers proposing projects in Duluth must have the support of the City Council and Administration.
To allow for a thoughtful review process, developers must provide the City a summary description of their proposed project that includes the number and type of units and populations to be housed, funding sources and uses, and the self-scoring worksheet from the Minnesota Housing application.
This information must be submitted by April 17, 2020, 4:30 P.M.
Electronic submissions can be sent to planning@duluthmn.gov. Hard copies will not be accepted due to COVID-19 and the mandatory closure of public buildings in Duluth.
On May 11, 2020, the Duluth City Council will hold a Committee of the Whole to review proposals and interview applicants. Resolution(s) of support will be voted on at the City Council meeting held that evening.
