The Multifamily Consolidated RFP is a competitive funding round, offered once per year, where Minnesota Housing consolidates and coordinates multiple multifamily housing funding resources into one application process. It deploys significant capital funds and is the primary mechanism that Minnesota Housing uses to award and allocate federal and state resources. In accordance with Minnesota Housing’s Qualified Allocation Plan (QAP), the emphasis is on serving under-resourced communities, long-term affordability, developing and preserving sustainable buildings, and participation in the development process by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color-owned or Women-owned businesses.
