Summary
The council approved Resolution 3-2-2026-1 to accept a Minnesota Housing Tier II grant totaling $150,000, designate authorized signatories and contract with HRDC to administer homeowner gap assistance and rehab projects, with staff to provide eligibility details when the program begins.
The Mahnomen City Council voted to accept a Minnesota Housing Tier II Housing Grant and to designate authorized signatories to execute grant documents. The resolution authorizes acceptance of grant funds totaling $150,000 and delegates signatory authority to City Administrator Taylor Guenther, Assistant Administrator Judy Berger, Mayor Curtis Uran and Vice Mayor LuAnn Durant.
According to the packet, the Tier II grant contains two components: a homeowner gap-assistance program and a homeowner and rental rehabilitation program offering up to $15,000 per unit for up to five units. The city intends to contract with the Headwaters Regional Development Commission (HRDC) or HRDC-partnered providers to administer program tasks such as eligibility screening, disbursements and reporting. More detailed eligibility criteria will be released when the program launches.
