The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority is a public housing authority (PHA) serving the city of Minneapolis.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] It is the largest provider of affordable housing in Minnesota.[9] It was established with its current name in 1986.[10][11] It is one of 39 Moving to Work (MTW) housing authorities funded by the department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
It owns public housing, and has a housing choice voucher program.
Its executive director is Abdi Warsame.[12]
In 2022, the MPHA managed housing including 15 single-family homes, 217 townhouse units, and 4,821 high-rise apartment units, housing about 5,000 households in total.[13] For more information, see this list of developments.
In 2022, the MPHA spent $45 million on MTW housing choice voucher rent subsidies and averaged 4,212 housing choice vouchers under lease per month, and spent $17.8 million on non-MTW vouchers and averaged 1,598 under lease each month.[13]
In 2022, the MPHA had total revenue of $151.6 million from tenant rental income, HUD, the city of Minneapolis, and other government grants. It had total assets (including housing) of $292 million[13]
In 1995, the NAACP successfully sued several agencies including the MPHA, showing that these agencies had worked to ``concentrate" people of color in the city's poorest areas.[14]
In 2019, a fire in an MPHA housing complex left 5 people dead.[15]
