Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) achieved a major construction milestone in its nation-leading Family Housing Expansion Project (FHEP), setting the final of the 126 Minnesota-made modules that comprise the 16-building project. Modular construction allows for work at multiple sites simultaneously, so while the last site began joining the modules together, earlier sites are in the final stages of completion.
Building 84 new, deeply affordable family homes in 16 “missing middle” apartment buildings across Minneapolis, FHEP is MPHA’s largest new construction project in more than two decades. The project includes 26 two-bedroom and 58 three-bedroom homes assembled in small buildings containing four or six units. All units will be available to households at or below 30% of the area median income (AMI) and include 16 units accessible to residents with disabilities, as well as 17 units for high-priority homeless households with services funded through Hennepin County’s Coordinated Entry program. Most sites are located near transit, green space and trail systems and include access to employment opportunities, schools and commercial areas.
