Affordable Housing Workshop

Hennepin County recently approved a new strategy to increase availability of supportive housing that combines social services with long-term stable housing for households with extremely-low incomes. Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority Chair Irene Fernando will host a related discussion and workshop around the local housing landscape and the county's current and future housing activities.A brief presentation by county housing staff will be followed by breakout discussions facilitated by community and industry leaders. The goal of these discussions will be to provide guidance and feedback to county leaders to support successful implementation of our new supportive housing funding strategy.

Background

Hennepin County and the Hennepin County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) guides investment of more than $130 million each year towards safe, stable housing for residents.

In March 2019, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners, acting as the Housing and Redevelopment Authority, voted to approve new guidelines and criteria for funding supportive affordable housing development projects.

This new strategy aims to fill a critical gap in affordable housing by creating up to 1,000 new units of long-term supportive housing by 2030. Capital funding for this and other affordable housing strategies is considered each year by the HRA Board of Commissioners as part of the regular budgeting process.

Location: Mill City Museum, 704 S 2nd Street

Voices of the River Performance

Join Relay of Voices for an evening of storytelling and movement exploring voices of the Mississippi River region. During 2019, Relay of Voices will spend four months traveling from the headwaters of the Mississippi River to Louisiana, collecting stories of everyday life on the river in more than 100 communities. At the Mill City Museum stop, Victoria Bradford Styrbicki, organizer of Relay of Voices, will connect Minneapolis voices with those of 18 other towns and cities she has visited traveling through Minnesota from the river's source at Lake Itasca. Listen to stories that answer the question, "Why do you make this place home?" and participate by sharing your own answer to the question.

About Relay of Voices
Relay of Voices is a research expedition traveling down the Mississippi River Trail with the goal of gathering “voices” from the landscape and individual residents of the river region. The effort is shaped by a theory of “movement research,” which uses the body as the empathetic center for listening and understanding, and it seeks to learn about how people live with water and the natural resources that surround it.

The work is spearheaded by artist and athlete Victoria Bradford Styrbicki in partnership with research institute the Water Institute of the Gulf, the Great River Road, the Mississippi River Network, and the Louisiana Seafood Promotions & Marketing Board.
