Efforts to prevent displacement
Resources
Renters
Most Minneapolis residents rent their home. We make the rental process fairer and help residents stay in their home.
Affordable housing
We help build and maintain affordable rental housing. This makes it more likely that people with lower incomes can stay in areas that are changing fast.

- Support for people who build low-cost housing
- Resources for developers
- Support for people who build low-cost housing and want to buy City land

Business owners
We provide money and training to help businesses start, grow, and improve their space.

Homeownership
Owning a home enables people to stay in place. It can also allow people to build wealth for future generations.
Jobs
To stay in their neighborhood, people need jobs and businesses need workers. The City has programs that helps both.

- Help finding jobs in high-demand fields

- Help for businesses looking for workers
- Apprenticeship opportunities

Health
Displacement can lead to health problems. Health problems can also lead to displacement. Keeping people healthy is one way to prevent displacement.
Culture
Moving people out can hurt community ties and traditions. We support cultural areas and public art.
