Affordable Housing Incentive Program Open for Application
2025 Saint Paul 4d Affordable Housing Incentive Program Open for Application
The Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) has launched the 2025 application cycle for the Saint Paul 4d Affordable Housing Incentive Program.
The application deadline is 4 p.m. CST on Friday, December 20, 2024. Applications will not be accepted after this deadline.
In exchange for agreeing to rent and tenant income limits, enrollment in the 4d Program qualifies properties for the 4d tax classification, also known as Minnesota's Low Income Rental Classification (LIRC). Qualification for the 4d rate results in a property tax reduction tied to specific units enrolled in the program.
To receive this tax reduction, property owners must commit at least a 20% share of their property’s units to a 10-year period of rent limits and tenant income restrictions. Restrictions are tied to either 50% or 60% of the metropolitan Area Median Income (or “AMI”).
Additionally, per 2023 legislative updates to Minnesota state statute as indicated on Minnesota Housing’s website, property owners must use any and all property tax savings resulting from the 4d tax classification for eligible expenses such as:
- Property maintenance
- Property security
- Improvements to the property
- Increases to the property’s replacement reserve account

Unity Bridge Proposal
Unity Bridge Project Saint Paul
A proposal for a pedestrian bridge downtown Saint Paul, MN!
(updated 2023)
-
How a Pedestrian Bridge helps Harriet Island and Downtown Saint Paul to bring more people (young and old) with easier access to the Harriet Island side (including a playground, boating, and large open beautiful spaces).
-
Connect people to the river in a more consistent way, enhancing the access that people from a variety of backgrounds and cultures can have to the river (symbolically, culturally and economically)
-
A well and intentionally designed pedestrian bridge could be a great draw for people visiting Saint Paul, the West Side and downtown (as well as Xcel, River Center, ETC.
