Affordable Housing Program – New Construction and Rehab
About the Program
The Affordable Housing Program partners with the MN Dept. of Corrections to create quality affordable housing in West Central MN for families at or below 115% of the state median income.
A variety of floor plans are available depending on your family’s needs. Homes can be modified for handicapped accessibility upon request.
Homes are built by a 30 year veteran carpenter, minimum security inmates and local subcontractors. Homes are high quality, durable, energy efficient and require minimal maintenance. Homes are inspected by a state licensed building inspector to ensure codes are met and/or surpassed.
We currently build in Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail, Pope and Stevens counties.
If you are interested in building where we don’t have access to lots, our housing staff can work with private buyers, cities or EDA to attempt to acquire one to meet your needs.
Eligibility Information
Households must be able to be approved for a traditional mortgage from a mortgage lender. Please contact our department staff for additional eligibility information and income limits.
