Minneapolis Housing Upgrades and Challenges | Minneapolis News

Minneapolis housing upgrades are rolling forward with major renovations approved for Snelling Manor and midrise buildings at 37th Street and Avenue, bringing new accessibility features and air conditioning — pending HUD approval for unit conversions. Heritage Park still faces hurdles with unlivable units despite $5 million in state funds unused. The Glendale Townhomes project, set to become the largest family housing rebuild in 30 years, will add 100 new units and prioritize current residents — construction likely starting late 2027 or 2028. Funding efforts are underway through tax credits with a $1 million start. Board meetings remain challenging to follow, with hearing issues noted and questions raised about accountability for large property owners. Overall inspection scores dipped slightly, though Glendale Community scored nearly perfect. Next meeting: July 22 at 1:30 PM. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
