# October 13, 2026 Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting

At the October 13, 2026 Bloomington Housing and Redevelopment Authority meeting, commissioners approved consent items that included resolutions supporting a Metropolitan Council Livable Communities Demonstration Account grant application and final agreements for the Southview Estates rehabilitation project. They also approved the 2027 Housing Choice Voucher annual and administrative plans for submission to HUD by a 7–0 vote. The HRA authorized an agreement with NEO Partners Inc. for emerging-developer training and technical assistance, supported by Metropolitan Council grant funds; the discussion referenced approximately $50,000 for the work, with the amount of follow-up support potentially varying. The agreement was approved by motion, though the transcript does not clearly capture the vote count.

The HRA discussed, but did not approve, additional funding for the Heights condominium garage rehabilitation. The project’s revised cost projection was about $3.5 million, with a projected shortfall of $697,221.98; staff proposed Local Affordable Housing Aid support as a zero-interest forgivable loan, subject to conditions including an updated reserve study and adequate HOA fees. Commissioners raised concerns about cost documentation, oversight, and the loan terms, and tabled the request to obtain further information. The original financing included nearly $1 million in City general-obligation bonds and $1.8 million in HRA interfund loans; no vote authorizing the additional funding was taken.
