Update: MPHA rejects to hold community meetings and extend the comment period for their 2021 MTW Annual Plan!

Dear Allies: On Wednesday, August 26, after a disastrous public hearing by MPHA on their 2021 MTW Annual Plan, DG&PHC sent MPHA an email asking them to let us know if they will extend the public comment period and hold community meetings to explain this plan to public housing residents and to the concerned public to ask questions about the large scale RAD privatization plans they are proposing in this plan. We asked them to please reply back by Thursday, August27. As usual, MPHA decided to ignore public housing residents and chose not to reply back to our email.Prior to the public hearing, similar to our request Prospect Park Association ( PPA) sent MPHA this letter, https://tinyurl.com/PPA-Ltr-to-MPHA-MTW-2021, requesting to hold community meetings, translate the document in relevant languages, and extend the comment period. On August 27, MPHA decided to reply back to PPA rejecting the request: Link –> https://tinyurl.com/MPHA-rejects-comment-extension. Minneapolis residents are witnessing MPHA a public agency funded by HUD, State of Minnesota, and the City of Minneapolis that has gone rogue, and doing their best to silence public housing residents. The City of Minneapolis has oversight and legal charter of accountability over MPHA that is not being implemented. The City of Minneapolis is witnessing a Mayor, City Council, State, and Congress elected officials that deliberately chose not to hold MPHA accountable.
