The Council's Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Metro HRA, administers the federal Housing Choice Voucher program and related programs on behalf of nearly 100 suburban and rural communities throughout Anoka, Carver, and most of suburban Hennepin and Ramsey Counties.
Metro HRA provides affordable housing for more than 6,800 seniors, families, and people with disabilities. All of Metro HRA's federally subsidized housing vouchers are in use and helping low-income families pay rent.
