June 23, 2026 Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting

The City of Bloomington Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) held a meeting on June 23, 2026, focusing on several key housing development and funding initiatives. The board discussed the Adora Apartments affordable housing project, including a request for up to $300,000 in HRA loan assistance and tax increment financing totaling approximately $900,000 over 26 years. The project aims to provide 52 deeply affordable units with support from local Bloomington-based developers and contractors. The HRA voted to approve a resolution supporting financial assistance and authorized staff to negotiate related agreements. Additionally, the board approved a down payment assistance agreement with Habitat for Humanity, formalizing funding and reporting requirements for the program using Local Affordable Housing Aid (LAHA) funds. The meeting also covered options for the 2720 West 108th Street property, weighing demolition versus costly rehabilitation, with staff recommending demolition and future redevelopment. Updates on other affordable housing projects, emergency rental assistance contracts, and legislative developments related to housing were provided. The board discussed developer training programs and emerging developer recruitment to support future affordable housing projects.
