Housing

 

Renters

We're currently fundraising for the Renter Support Fund, providing direct financial assistance to renters.  Read more here.

We can also refer folks to partners who assist renters in legal matters, tenant organizing, and those looking to access transitional housing.

 

Homeowners

We maintain a list of organizations that provide financial assistance for down payments, emergency home repairs, and general home improvements.  We also know of resources for seniors and persons with disabilities who need help with home maintenance.

  

Business Support

 

We maintain a list of organizations that can help businesses in a variety of ways.  We regularly update businesses, who opt-in, about funding and other resources.  If you have a promotion or information you’d like to share, we can generally post it on our social media channels.  If you’d like to receive updates from us, please contact Hannah at hannah@ppna.org.

Neighborhood Development

 

Concerns about a pending development.

PPNA may be able to develop and submit a public comment on a development depending on the project.  If you reach out to us with your concerns we’ll update you on what we know, and any current plans or viewpoints we have.

 

In many cases, Developers seeking variances, permits, etc are required to contact the neighborhood association and notify us of their plans.  There are also other notification requirements for area residents that come into play that vary by project.  We publish these notifications on our blog and release them in our monthly Civic Round-Up (when applicable).  

 

In other cases, specifically, where there are no variances, etc. required, PPNA is not notified of developments and there isn’t a viable course of action to take to influence or otherwise change the course of a project.  We’re certainly still here to listen to your concerns and brainstorm with you about how to address them.

 

Planning to develop property in the neighborhood.

Please reach out to us at info@ppna.org.  We’re excited to hear more about your project and talk through ways we can share information about your plans with the community, and gain insight around their preferences and priorities.

While there are no rules against parking on Minneapolis streets in general, there are several regulations put forth by the city that can be found here.
