Hennepin County administers Housing Choice Vouchers through the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, Metro HRA, and several suburban PHAs. Wait lists are long but state source-of-income protection means landlords may not refuse vouchers categorically.
Voucher administration in Hennepin County splits among Minneapolis Public Housing Authority for the city, Metro HRA for several suburbs, and individual housing authorities in Bloomington, Plymouth, and Richfield. Voucher holders search for any qualifying unit; landlords must accept HQS inspections and execute the HUD HAP contract. Statewide source-of-income protection (Minn. Stat. 363A.09) bars blanket refusal. Payment standards vary by zip code and are updated annually. Tenants typically pay 30% of adjusted income; voucher covers the rest up to the payment standard.
Refusal to rent to voucher holders triggers MDHR complaints with potential damages and penalties. HAP contract violations can lead to PHA termination of the property's voucher eligibility.
