Apply NOW to be added to MPHA's housing voucher waitlist! The waiting list will close for new applications at 11:59pm on Thursday, October 15, 2026.

MPHA is accepting applications for the new Minnesota Housing-funded housing voucher program waitlist, Bring it Home (BIH). To apply to be added to MPHA’s BIH waitlist, interested households must apply on MPHA’s online portal at portal.mphaonline.org.

To be eligible for the BIH program, applicants must live in Minnesota, pay more than 30 percent of their household income towards rent, and not currently be served by a federally funded Section 8 program. Additionally, applicants must be willing to live in Minneapolis, as MPHA’s BIH vouchers cannot be used elsewhere. Households currently experiencing homelessness and/or housing instability are eligible to apply.

To apply, log in to your MPHA’s online portal account to access the application. To make an account:
1. Visit this link: https://portal.mphaonline.org/

Shout-out to Hailey Torborg at CenterPoint for prioritizing our neighborhood and providing these detailed weekly updates. This level of ongoing, neighborhood-specific information hasn’t typically been provided to communities during past projects, and it has made a huge difference in helping residents, businesses, an emergency services know what to expect and plan ahead.

WEEKLY UPDATE — MINNEAPOLIS 2026/114824793

Inspector: Austin Mueller
Foreman: Troy Prow

Construction:

Crews will begin main installation work on Queen Ave N between 4th Ave N and S Frontage Rd.

There will be a full road closure on 4th Ave N between Queen Ave N and Penn Ave N, while continuing to maintain access for local residents.

Once work on Queen Ave N is complete, crews will begin main installations on 5th Ave N between Oliver Ln and Sheridan Ave N.
