Broad Eligibility
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations, local units of government, Tribal Nations and Tribally Designated Housing Entities. Eligible Minnesota residential properties must have been built before 1978 and meet program household-income requirements. Multifamily rental properties require at least 50% of tenant households to be at or below 60% of area median income. School districts can qualify as local units of government, but the funded property must satisfy the residential-property rules.
Atlas Analysis
Closed 2026 Minnesota housing grant. Minnesota Housing states that the program supported eligible residential work for nonprofits and local governments. The 2026 application period closed September 30, 2026.
Minnesota Housing’s 2026 Lead Safe Homes Grants Program provides a one-time pool of up to $4 million for lead risk assessment and remediation in eligible Minnesota residential properties built before 1978. Applications are due September 30, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Central Time.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, local units of government, Tribal Nations and Tribally Designated Housing Entities. A school district can qualify as a local unit of government, but this is a residential lead-hazard program rather than a school-building remediation grant. Eligible uses include licensed lead risk assessments and approved lead-hazard remediation; administration, education and outreach are limited to 10% of the award. Minnesota Housing states there is no minimum or maximum request amount. No mandatory applicant match or cost-share requirement was found in the controlling application instructions.
Atlas scores this opportunity 87/100 for public-health and housing impact. N9+ Fit is 0/100 and QC Healthcare Fit is 0/100 because the funded scope is residential lead assessment/remediation rather than remote clinical examination, telehealth or healthcare-service delivery. Dr. Miltie, LLC is not an eligible direct applicant because the eligible applicant classes do not include for-profit vendors.
