Public comments may be submitted orally or in writing to the CDA through February 26, 2012. Approval of the amendment, subject to consideration of public comments, will be on the agenda of the Dakota County Board of Commissioners meeting to be held at the Dakota County Government Center, third floor, 1590 Highway 55, Hastings, MN 55033 on February 28 at 9 a.m.
Beginning Tuesday, January 17, 2012 and until further notice, the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) will be accepting preference only applications for the Grande Market Place Project Based Voucher (PBV) waiting list. Preference applicants are those who live, work, are hired to work or go to school full-time in Dakota County. Applications will not be accepted from non-preference applicants.
Grande Market Place, located in Burnsville’s Heart of the City, has 23 two-bedroom subsidized units for low-income families who are current recipients of MFIP or who have received MFIP within the last 24 months. Participants of the PBV program pay 30% of their income towards their rent and the CDA pays the difference through federally obligated dollars.
Applicants must qualify for a two-bedroom unit (based on household size and composition) and have incomes below 50% of area median income adjusted for household size (ex. $41,950 for a family of four).
Applications must be filled out in person at the Dakota County CDA’s office located at 1228 Town Centre Drive, Eagan, Minnesota. Applicants must provide a photo ID for proof of identity and proof that they live, work or go to school full-time in Dakota County. Examples of proof of ties include: current lease, a current utility bill (gas, electric, water/sewer, trash removal), school transcript or note from employer on company letterhead (employer must be located in Dakota County).
Applications are available Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The CDA is also open until 7 p.m. the third Wednesday of the month to accommodate those who are unable to apply during regular business hours.
Eligible applicants will be placed on the Grande Market Place waiting list according to the date and time of application. For directions to the CDA’s office, call (651) 675-4440 or visit www.dakotacda.org. Questions? Call 651-675-4400.
