HousingLink’s Online Directory is designed to help people seeking housing to identify affordable properties that are most likely to meet their needs. In contrast, the primary focus of the Inventory is to provide a comprehensive count of assisted units in the region. How current is the information? The initial information was collected from public officials at city, county, regional and state agencies throughout the metropolitan area during 2002 through 2007 (Quarter 4). In addition, each property detail includes a last updated date in the Identification Information section. How is The Inventory funded? The Inventory is funded by members of the Interagency Stabilization Group, including the Family Housing Fund, Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Agency (CPED), Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, Ramsey County, and the City of Saint Paul. Who else is involved? The Interagency Stabilization Group (ISG) is a multi-jurisdictional group of housing funders that includes representatives from the following agencies:
