Summary of Proceedings

Housing & Redevelopment Authority Meeting - February 11, 2026

The Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) Board of Commissioners met on February 11, 2026, at 2:00 PM in Council Chambers, City Hall. Vice-Chair Jost called the meeting to order and adjourned at 2:02 PM. Chair Johnson was excused, and Commissioner Kim was absent. The single agenda item was a resolution to extend funding reservations for Saint Paul projects applying for Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) grants.

Discussion Items

  • Resolution 26-252: Interim Executive Director Melanie McMahon explained that the HRA had previously authorized funding reservations for projects seeking MHFA's 2025 consolidated RFP in June 2025. These reservations help projects earn commitment points in the RFP process. MHFA is now accepting applications for round two of the same 2025 consolidated RFP, so the resolution confirms that reservations for projects from the first round remain effective for the second round.

Key Outcomes

  • Resolution 26-252 was adopted unanimously (5-0) with Commissioners Noecker, Yang, Bowie, Jost, and Coleman voting in favor. Commissioners Johnson and Kim were absent.
