Estimates show #Minnesota is short 100,000 housing units for low-income populations. To help meet demand, some poverty-fighting offices are playing a role in getting more projects off the ground. The housing estimate is from the National Low Income Housing Coalition. Jennifer Larson, executive director of Three Rivers Community Action in southeastern Minnesota, said their needs assessments consistently have housing at the top of the list. Her staff has teamed up with the city of Northfield and other partners on a new set of townhomes. With many people still priced out of the rental market, she pointed out the project aims to give low-to-moderate income applicants a much-needed option. "This project really is meant to provide more family units that have price points -- rent levels -- that people can afford," Larson explained. Larson added the 32 new townhomes were not just built with availability in mind. They were designed for ideal family livability, including being near parks and schools. She emphasized the housing industry and other stakeholders need to act with more urgency to spur additional development with demand showing no signs of slowing down. Temporary housing is also getting priority. In northeastern Minnesota, the Arrowhead Economic Opportunity Agency has refurbished a memory care facility to serve as a homeless shelter. Lori Schultz, executive director of the Minnesota Community Action Partnership, said additional state and federal funding would advance more much-needed developments. "We've definitely moved the needle in this state," Schultz asserted. "Securing funding for new housing, but there are so many regions that continue to be unfunded."
