The Corridor Housing Initiative in Brief
Aims:
The Corridor Housing Initiative is a proactive planning process to create viable development projects, through activities such as the block exercise, that include affordable housing options along corridors that meet city goals and neighborhood interests.
Results:
The project has won the American Planning Association (APA) National Planning Excellence Award for a Grassroots Initiative in 2007, the 2006 Innovations in Minnesota Government Award, a Special Community Initiative Award from the Minnesota Chapter of the APA in 2005, and was a finalist in the Innovations in American Government Awards, also in 2005.
Several housing developments are planned or under construction in the corridors.
