Housing for GLBT Elders in Minneapolis

Spirit on Lake is on its way! In an email to supporters on Friday, PRG—along with partners Spirit of the Lakes Church and Everwood Development—announced an anticipated summer 2012 groundbreaking to build 46 one- and two-bedroom apartments to serve aging GLBT community members. From the letter:

In November, Minnesota Housing followed the City of Minneapolis’ lead and committed significant project funding. While there are dollars that still need to be committed, we’re feeling confident enough to plan a June 2012 ground breaking.

Spirit on Lake will serve individuals earning less than $28,950/year and households earning less than $33,100/year (2 persons). The 46 one- and two-bedroom apartments will be ready for rental and occupancy in the spring of 2013.

Developed to address the unique needs of the LGBT aging population, the units are open to all.

Spirit of the Lakes Church, who developed the concept and remains an active participant in the development of this important project, will not occupy the first floor space as originally envisioned, but we hope to announce a new and exciting tenant for the space in the very near future.
