Central Corridor Housing: Minneapolis U of M segment

1. Development along the Minneapolis U of M Segment

The Central Corridor Funders Collaborative has provided funding to LISC to develop recommendations for affordable housing along the Corridor. A work group representative of the full range of interests will be convened to discuss the goals for, and challenges of, affordable housing and to develop an agreed upon set of actions for reaching these goals.

All of the work done to date by various agencies will be used to ground the discussion. But we also know that our collective interests in what should happen in these neighborhoods can sometimes conflict.

A thoughtful discussion of the future of affordable housing along the corridor must be mindful of all of the different views and interests. To that end, LISC requests that you please share yours via the attached survey. Please be as honest and frank as possible—all answers will be anonymous.

Thank you so much in advance.
