Twin Cities low income housing for mothers saved from bankruptcy, state looks for funding
Description
A more than 40-year-old housing program for mothers with low income is back up and running after it was saved from bankruptcy. A nonprofit developer called Trellis bought the property this fall.
This week, the state plans to secure $8 million in funding to keep the property and its programs afloat. Now almost 60 mothers and their children — many of whom have said the development was a safe place to recover from abuse or addiction — will remain in place and start receiving supportive programming.
Corinne Martin has been living at the development in St. Louis Park. She joins Minnesota Now to talk about her experience.
Jennifer Ho is the commissioner of Minnesota Housing, she also joins the program to talk about the request to the state.
