HOUSING FOR HOMELESS VETS

The Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV) and the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA) are expanding housing for homeless and at-risk veterans in the Twin Cities through the purchase of a 17-unit apartment building in the Powderhorn neighborhood (3057 14th Avenue South). Funding for this initiative was made possible through $5.41 million allocation in the 2022 Veterans Omnibus Bill. MACV acquired the Powderhorn property in July, and it is now open for move-in. MACV plans to primarily use these multi-family properties as long-term affordable housing in communities with shrinking affordability. MACV has also purchased St. Paul-area housing through the omnibus bill funding.
