Background and Demographics of Somalis in Minneapolis 7 4. Provider Interviews 18 5. Community Organizations 23 6. Recommendations 26 1. Introduction Somali immigrants face many obstacles when finding housing that suits their needs and more can be done to improve their housing conditions and options. Minnesota is home to the largest Somali population in the United States and most of them live in the Minneapolis area. As a matter of fact, more than half of the Somalis coming to the United States settle in Minnesota with the majority of these living in the Twin Cities. Of these immigrants, many are refugees that came from horrific conditions living in refugee camps due to an unstable central government in Somalia. Since 1991, Somalia has been split into four separate areas and political persecution a constant fear of many Somalis. Many Somalis have died due to the ongoing conflict between political beliefs and many survivors have fled to refugee camps where they live in poor conditions waiting and hoping that the government will eventually stabilize.

  • What Affordable Housing Programs and Initiatives
    WHAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES DOES THE DISTRICT OFFER? DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: • Inclusionary Zoning Affordable Housing Program (IZ) sets aside a percentage of affordable rental or for-sale units in new residential development projects of 10 or more units as well as rehabilitation projects that are expanding an existing building by 50 percent or more. Households interested in purchasing or leasing an IZ home must take the IZ orientation class with one of DHCD partner community-based organizations and complete the online registration form. For more information, please visit the following link: www.dhcd.dc.gov/service/inclusionary-zoning-affordable-housing-program • The Housing Production Trust Fund (HPTF) is a special revenue fund administered by the Department of Housing and Community Development. The HPTF provides funding for the production and preservation of homes that are affordable to low-income households in the District in a wide variety of ways. The primary use of the fund is as “gap financing” that enables housing projects to have sufficient financing to provide affordable housing. The fund also provides other forms of assistance including: - pre-development loans to assist nonprofit housing developers in getting low income housing projects funded; - financing for site acquisition to provide locations to build affordable housing; - funding for the rehabilitation of single family homes. Since 2001, the HPTF has helped produce over 9,000 affordable homes for low income District residents. For more information, please visit the following link: https://dhcd.dc.gov/page/housing-production-trust-fund • The Home Purchase Assistance Program (HPAP) provides interest-free loans and closing cost assistance to qualified applicants to purchase single-family houses, condominiums, or cooperative units.

  • Selling Public Housing: What Can Residents Do?
    ing fact sheet #17 public housing fact sheet #17 public housing fact sheet #17 public housing fact sheet #17 public housing fact public housing fact sheet #17: Selling Public Housing: What Can Residents Do? questions answered in this fact sheet: • When can a housing authority sell a public housing project? • What happens to residents and what are their rights? important terms: • disposition: the process of selling a public housing development to another owner. Once sold, the housing will no longer be a public housing development. • HUD: The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development, the agency that oversees all housing authorities. It also gives housing authorities permission to sell off public housing. • PHA Plan: The annual Plan, written by your housing authority, that talks about what will happen in the coming year. If the housing authority wants to sell a public housing development, it has to put it into the Plan. 1. WHEN CAN A HOUSING AUTHORITY SELL PUBLIC HOUSING? A housing authority is allowed to sell a public housing development. It can sell part of the development or the whole development. It can do this when: • the neighborhood is harmful to residents or makes it hard to manage the development • selling the development will allow the housing authority to buy, build, or renovate other affordable housing • there is another good reason Before selling, the housing authority has to get permission from HUD. It has to fill out an application and send it into HUD. HUD then reviews the application and says yes or no. The application is called a “disposition application”.
