This report commissioned by the Fair Housing Implementation Council (Twin Cities Metro Region) to examine the impediments or barriers to fair housing that affect protected classes within a geographic region. This involved a thorough examination of a variety of sources related to housing, affirmatively furthering fair housing, the fair housing delivery system and housing transactions, which affect people who are protected under fair housing law.
Sources for the report included census data; home mortgage industry data; federal, state and local housing complaint data; surveys of housing industry experts and stakeholders; and other housing information. It also included an active and involved public input and review process via direct contact with stakeholders, focus group sessions with housing experts, public forums to collect input from citizens, distribution of draft reports for citizen review and formal presentation of findings.

On September 26, 2008, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP), a $4 billion initiative aimed at providing emergency assistance to local agencies to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties.
Dakota County received a direct allocation of $2,765,991 through the program from HUD. The funding has been allocated to the Dakota County Community Development Agency (CDA) to administer on behalf of Dakota County. Additionally, the CDA was awarded an additional $1 million from a competitive grant application process from Minnesota Housing. This funding is targeted to a neighborhood in West St. Paul.
The CDA worked with Dakota County and local cities to receive feedback on how the new funding would be best implemented in communities to address the greatest needs in the county within the parameters specified by HUD. The following program proposal was submitted to HUD on December 1, 2008 and has been approved.
