Board reallocates HUD/HomeARP funds to a 31‑unit supportive housing project in Brooklyn Center
Summary
The board approved reallocating HomeARP funds to New Generations LLC for the Community Corner project, a 31‑unit supportive housing development in Brooklyn Center, preserving federal ARP housing dollars for homelessness response.
Hennepin County’s Housing and Economic Development staff asked the board to reallocate previously allocated HomeARP funds to preserve and advance a 31‑unit supportive housing project in Brooklyn Center.
Omar Martinez explained that the county’s original HomeARP allocation (approved 2022) had funded two completed projects and one project that was terminated. The board approved reassigning the available funds to New Generations LLC for the Community Corner project, which will provide supportive units for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
The motion to reallocate funding was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff said the award would be subject to final underwriting and usual closing conditions. The action seeks to preserve HomeARP investments and accelerate a project with supportive services in place.
Ending: staff said they will return with contract documents and closing details for administrative review before funds are disbursed.
