The Anti-Displacement Community Prosperity Program (ACPP) Board invites you to informational sessions to learn about a funding opportunity

The Anti-Displacement Community Prosperity Program (ACPP) board is seeking applications that promote community prosperity and prevent displacement along the Blue Line Extension Corridor.

The METRO Blue Line Extension Project will extend the existing Blue Line from Target Field Station, connecting downtown Minneapolis to the communities of North Minneapolis, Robbinsdale, Crystal and Brooklyn Park.

The state Legislature awarded $10 million to fund the ACPP with the goal of preserving and enhancing community vitality by ensuring people in the corridor today are the ones to benefit from this important infrastructure investment.

The request for proposals (RFP) is intended to support those impacted by the Blue Line in the following areas:

  • Housing stabilization
  • Small/micro business support
  • Real estate development
  • Workforce development

Informational sessions

  • Pre-RFP release webinar: 9:30 a.m.-11 a.m. Thursday, June 26
    Join the webinar

  • Community meetings:
    • Details coming soon for community meetings in Minneapolis and Brooklyn Park

Important RFP dates

  • Solicitation for Expenditures application opens: TBD July 2025
  • Applications due: Approximately two months after the RFP release
  • Awards: Late 2025/early 2026

Who can apply

Applicants must be one of the following:

  • A commercial entity (such as a for-profit real estate developer).
  • A nonprofit.
  • A government applicant must have a community-based organization as a co-applicant.

Matching funds

For every dollar requested from the ACPP Board through this Solicitation, the applicant must secure an equal amount of funds from nonstate sources (“matching funds”) as required by the ACPP Board and the enabling legislation. Matching funds do not need to be secured at the time of application, but if selected by the ACPP Board, the applicant must demonstrate they have secured matching funds prior to execution of any contract.
