Minnesota Gov. Pawlenty Proposes $400M Housing Plan

ST. PAUL-The plan for the homeless would provide 4,000 housing units that would include $20 million in state bonds this year.

ST. PAUL-Gov. Tim Pawlenty has proposed a seven-year, $400-million plan to house 4,000 homeless families through new construction and subsidized rents and to provide essential services to the chronically homeless.

“I am committed to helping Minnesota’s long-term homeless become more successful and self-sufficient,” said Pawlenty recently after touring the Jackson Street Village supportive housing development, a location that serves homeless families.

Jackson Street Village is a 24-unit community for families who have experienced problems with chemical dependency or homelessness and have all agreed to live sober with the help of support services onsite. The facility is owned by RS Eden. Management and support services are provided by the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation.
