What is Streams?

Streams is a searchable database of publicly-funded (subsidized) rental housing in Minnesota. The intent is to maintain an unduplicated list of properties (and units), where a property will include all known associated addresses.

How current is Streams?

Streams currently includes all properties with a first finance closing through the end of 2024.

What types of housing programs are covered in Streams?

Streams aims to include any rental housing with a long-term rent restriction (or direct rent subsidy) that makes it affordable for those earning 80% or less of the area median income (AMI). This includes Public Housing, Project-Based Section 8, LIHTC (tax credit) properties, and many other programs funded at the state or local level. Streams does not specifically include emergency shelters or transitional housing.
