Here is a letter to HUD from Mayor Jacob Frey and Council Member Lisa Bender, explicitly supporting MPHA’s plan to demolish and dispose of over 730 single-family homes (scattered sites). This support will change Minneapolis’s landscape dramatically, decreasing the amount of public housing in the city and bettering the city only for rich and white people. The change will modify Minneapolis’s demographics by displacing over 730 households, which encompasses, according to MPHA, over 5000 people majority Black, Black Immigrants/Muslims and families with children. Redevelopments under section 18 will cause an increase in rent prices for the city, and the resulting displacement will result in homelessness, disrupt communities, and change Minneapolis as we currently know it. Hold Jacob Fry and Council Member Lisa Bender accountable, as their leadership will displace thousands and entire communities, and “improve” Minneapolis only for the elite.

MPHA Director of Policy and External Affairs Jeff Horwich literally wrote the letter that Mayor Frey and CM Bender signed and sent to HUD.
