Cottonwood County splits $88,448 in Affordable Housing funds between Rebuilding Together Minnesota and UCAP
Summary
After a presentation from Rebuilding Together Minnesota representatives, the board voted to distribute 2024 Affordable Housing Aid of $88,448 equally between Rebuilding Together Minnesota and UCAP—$44,224 each.
Representatives from Rebuilding Together Minnesota asked the board to appropriate funds from the Statewide Affordable Housing Aid. The Cottonwood County Board approved distributing $88,448 in 2024 Affordable Housing Funds evenly between Rebuilding Together Minnesota and UCAP, with each organization receiving $44,224.
Why it matters: These funds support local affordable housing activities and community services; distributing the allocation affects local nonprofit capacity to deliver housing repairs or services.
At the April 15 meeting, Tom Pfannenstiel, Emily Ostercamp, Kimberly Peterson and Galen Kauffman presented on behalf of Rebuilding Together Minnesota and requested an appropriation. The board voted unanimously to split the 2024 funds 50/50 between Rebuilding Together Minnesota and UCAP, allocating $44,224 to each organization. The minutes record the motion and unanimous vote but do not include programmatic details about intended uses or grant conditions.
Next steps: The County will disburse funds to the two organizations; details on intended project uses were not recorded in the minutes and should be confirmed with county staff or the recipient organizations.
