HRA says Minnesota Housing reviewed developer materials; prevailing‑wage calculations included
Summary
HRA staff said Minnesota Housing Finance Agency reviewed the developer's workbook and that prevailing‑wage requirements (Department of Labor and Industry) were included in the project's cost calculations.
A commissioner asked whether workforce housing program funds would trigger prevailing‑wage obligations. Executive Director Jeff reported that he and Minnesota Housing reviewed the developer’s workbook and did not find red flags in the initial review, and that staff ensured prevailing‑wage requirements were included in the calculations.
Jeff named the Department of Labor and Industry as the source for prevailing‑wage requirements and said a staff reviewer (Sarah) confirmed the workbook looked consistent with prior submissions. Commissioners accepted the initial review but left final compliance and verification steps to subsequent agency reviews and contracting stages.
