Housing authorities will combine resources and regulatory flexibility to increase housing choice for low-income renters

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has approved a first-in-the-nation partnership between Minnesota’s largest public housing authorities: the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) and Metropolitan Council Housing and Redevelopment Authority (Metro HRA).

In forming the nation’s first Regional Moving to Work agency, the two housing authorities will combine efforts to make it easier for families with housing vouchers to move where they wish across the metro area, including to neighborhoods they feel offer the best chance for economic success.
