Antidisplacement Community Prosperity Program (“ACPP”) Board

Purpose statement: To implement the Antidisplacement Community Prosperity Program (ACPP), which was created by the Minnesota Legislature alongside leadership from impacted communities to preserve and enhance affordable housing, provide small business support, support job training and placement, enhance economic vitality, and benefit the people and sense of community along the selected and former alignments of the BLE transit corridor, consistent with the recommendations of the Anti-Displacement Work Group (ADWG). The community-led ACPP board includes residents and business owners, people with lived experience of displacement, and people from the nonprofit and philanthropic communities and local government agencies. Empowered by the Legislature to govern the ACPP, the initial members of the board are the members of the ADWG as specified in the CURA report.

Program and Funding committee of the ACPP Board

Purpose statement: To develop a fund distribution approach, application process, and materials aimed at resourcing powerful anti-displacement strategies within impacted communities along the Blue Line Extension alignment. The approach shall build upon the values of inclusion, equity and transformational change centering communities most impacted. The approach shall be informed by the subject matter expertise, strategy, coordination, and program delivery of Hennepin County and other relevant government agencies along the corridor, as well as by community, philanthropic, nonprofit, and private organizations.
