Minneapolis Public Housing in Crisis

Minneapolis public housing at Heritage Park is crumbling—boarded windows, collapsing balconies, mold-ridden units, and nearly 200 uninhabitable homes. Councilmember Pearll Warren exposed the neglect, calling it intentional, while residents like Eddie Robinson, stuck in a two-year legal battle for a flooded unit, describe living conditions that are unsafe and degrading. The Minneapolis NAACP is demanding the ousting of MPHA exec Abdi Warsame and an independent investigation, accusing the authority of systemic failure. MPHA pushes back, claiming they’ve invested millions and now work with a court-appointed receiver to fix units, citing 165 new furnaces installed since December—but critics say the damage is too deep and too long-standing to ignore.
