Meet the Team Turning a Minneapolis Superfund Site into an Urban Farm | Eater
"This 9.4-acre, 212-unit HUD-subsidized housing complex, founded in 1973, is the country’s only Native American-preference Section 8 community and home to nearly 1,000 residents representing 38 tribal affiliations. It provides support services aimed at eliminating systemic barriers for Indigenous residents but sits in a heavily industrialized area plagued by legacy contamination and high rates of asthma, heart disease, and other pollution-related illnesses. Shorter life expectancy and repeated losses of young people to health conditions linked to environmental exposure have driven deep community organizing and a push for healthier, more equitable opportunities." - Kate Nelson
Its pretty quiet but still has a its up& downs ! I guess its different for everyone. Nice that they have pow wows there to attend for special holidays or anything positive for the community!

This is the only Native American preferred housing in the whole Twin Cities area.. I love the fact that we are all Native American or most and that there is so much to do for our children to involve our culture.. I'm sure some of us grew up not knowing our culture or the history behind our people and I love that they have that and the involvement of community has for our children

Parking lots are dirty, mud instead of grass,needles laying on the ground.
Urine stains on the sidewalk. Bad management. Residents are cordial.

Where did the grass and flowers go?? The management company also manages elders lodge. Many aggressive management policies that the board is in support of, and they need the management fees to enforce these management company policies. Do they align with native housing policies. Does the board want native housing still?
