Here is a public endorsement by MPHA of Secretary Ben Carson’s plans to increase rents for low income people by 300 percent and to privatize and dismantle public housing.
Last week Mayor Jacob Frey publicly denounced these plans. Will MPHA and Ben Carson displace and evict thousands of low income people out of Minneapolis, or will Mayor Frey and the City Council stop these plans?
Mayor Frey: you know this is not about funds. MPHA is sitting on a 23 million surplus, and HUD just received a 42 percent funding increase for public housing
Just looking at the facts, you promised during your campaign that you would stop MPHA’s privatization plans. On the question of whether or not they privatize, the City has more local control over MPHA than HUD.
When will you stop MPHA?
