In 2014, the Minnesota Legislature provided $20 million in General Obligation Bonds to Minnesota Housing to be awarded to HRA/PHAs in order to address critical physical needs in existing public housing. GMHF and NAHRO hired Landon Group to provide technical assistance to Public Housing Authorities in preparing competitive funding applications.

Landon Group assisted 14 HRA/PHAs with application submission to Minnesota Housing. 11 of those 14 developments were funded, out of 46 total applicants.

These agencies provide critically needed housing to very low income individuals and households in their communities.
