PRIORITIES & ACCOMPLISHMENTS

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

I campaigned on the premise that housing is a right and the promise of working toward ensuring that every Minneapolis resident has access to safe, stable, and affordable housing throughout the city.

When our administration took office, Minneapolis had lost 10,000 units of affordable housing over the prior 10 years and had no clear action plan for redressing the intentional segregation and racial injustices promoted by more than a century of our city’s housing policies.

My administration’s affordable housing agenda has focused on 4 pillars:

  1. Production of new affordable housing units
  2. Presentation of existing affordable housing units
  3. Protection of renters’ rights
  4. Creating more pathways and opportunities for affordable homeownership

Some of our administration’s top achievements include:

  • Investing record amounts of city funding--over $100 million across four budgets--in affordable housing, in addition to prioritizing state and federal dollars for housing.
  • Increasing the Affordable Housing Trust Fund by more than $40 million over the past three and half years to provide gap financing for the production and preservation of affordable rental housing for households earning less than 50% of area median income, with priority financing for affordable rental units for households earning less than 30% of area median income.
  • Allocating $3.5 million to provide emergency funding for Minneapolis renters amid the economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Launching the city’s 4d Program which has already helped to preserve thousands of affordable rental units across Minneapolis by assisting apartment building owners to obtain property tax reductions in exchange for maintaining 20% or more of their units as affordable.
    • Our 4d program is the first in the state to create energy efficiency and renewable energy incentives, making it a model that is now being adopted in other cities across the country. These incentives both lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce utility costs to renters.
  • Investing $3.3 million of pilot funding to develop the city’s flagship Stable Homes, Stable Schools initiative, a collaborative effort by the City of Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA), Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS), and Hennepin County Health and Human Services to connect families of MPS students at risk of or experiencing homelessness with funding and permanent resources and supports necessary to maintain stable housing.
    • Stable Homes, Stable Schools has prevented homelessness or stabilized housing for more than 2,500 MPS students from close to 900 families as of November 2020. Because of its overwhelming success, the 2021 budget allocates $2.2 million of ongoing funding to make the initiative a permanent city program.

Creating the More Representation Minneapolis initiative which provides funding to LegalAid and the Volunteer Lawyers Network to provide direct, pro-bono representation for Minneapolis renters facing eviction or seeking to enforce their legal rights against landlords.

  • Creating the More Representation Minneapolis initiative which provides funding to LegalAid and the Volunteer Lawyers Network to provide direct, pro-bono representation for Minneapolis renters facing eviction or seeking to enforce their legal rights against landlords.
  • Allocating over $4 million in city funding for the Minneapolis Homes program that facilitates and provides financial assistance for redevelopment of the more than 450 city-owned vacant building properties into affordable units and provides new opportunities and pathways for homeownership and generational wealth-building in BIPOC communities.
  • Investing $2.3 million to fund energy efficiency improvements for the city’s biggest public housing renovation project in history, the deeply affordable Elliot Twins Apartments, that will reduce energy costs by 35% (savings that MPHA can reinvest back into creating and preserving more affordable housing).

ECONOMIC INCLUSION

I believe that economic growth is only a measure of success when it creates opportunities and prosperity that reach Minneapolis residents in every corner of the city, especially those that face the greatest barriers. My administration’s commitment to economic inclusion has centered Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and immigrants as partners and decision-makers for charting their communities’ economic future.

Minneapolis faces a pivotal opportunity as we re-emerge from the challenges beset upon cities across the country by the coronavirus and a legacy of systemic racism. Our administration will continue to stay focused on policies that expand opportunity to everyone in the city, but especially to those who have been historically disenfranchised.

Some of our administration’s top achievements include:

  • Incorporating clear and firm goals, strategies, and evaluation metrics in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan for measurably advancing racially equitable economic growth and opportunities through City policies and investments.
    • Our work on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan earned commendation from the Center for Economic Inclusion.
  • Creating the Commercial Property Development Fund that invests over $7 million to provide small businesses and developers with patient debt capital to support the acquisition or completion of commercial real estate in portions of Minneapolis that have experienced historic disinvestment and are vulnerable to displacement.
  • Designating six cultural districts (W. Broadway Avenue, Central Avenue, Cedar-Riverside, Franklin Avenue, E. Lake Street, and 38th Street) selected in consultation with community groups that will receive funding for lighting improvements, street cleaning, building facade improvements, and other commercial revitalization projects, especially in racially segregated areas with concentrated poverty.

Allocating a $2.5 million initial investment to establish a city fund that provides no-interest loans for business owners in racially segregated areas with concentrated poverty to purchase the commercial properties they currently lease, helping to ensure that they are able to be the beneficiaries of, rather than displaced by, increases to property values.

  • Launching the Minneapolis Forward Community Now Coalition, a united effort between the City and community partners to chart the path for rebuilding a stronger, equitable, inclusive, and resilient Minneapolis in the aftermath of COVID-19 and the civil unrest resulting from the police killing of George Floyd.
    • Coalition leaders include representatives from the Lake Street Council, West Broadway Business and Area Coalition, Latino Economic Development Center, African American Leadership Forum, Black Women’s Wealth Alliance, Hmong American Partnership, Minnesota Trans Health Coalition, Native American Community Development Institute, and other groups
    • Allocating $1.2 million in city funding to the Rebuild Resilient initiative that will provide up to $40,000 to over 200 BIPOC- and immigrant-owned small businesses that are rebuilding after suffering damage during last year’s civil unrest to pay for installation of solar panels and energy efficiency improvements.
    • Installations funded through Rebuild Resilient will be installed trainees from the Minnesota Career Center and Summit Academy OIC in North Minneapolis, providing hands-on job training for a rapidly growing industry
    • By partnering with Xcel Energy, CenterPoint Energy, and others, Rebuild Resilient will generate $15 million in matching investments for energy efficiency improvements in impacted BIPOC communities.
  • Establishing the Minneapolis African American Commission on Economic Inclusion comprised of Black community and business leaders to provide guidance and direction to the Mayor’s office and city leadership on economic inclusion, opportunity creation, and implementation of specific solutions for redressing economic harm to Black communities.

PUBLIC & COMMUNITY SAFETY

Our administration has consistently supported a both-and approach to community-led public safety solutions beyond traditional policing, as well as working alongside Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) leadership to build a better and more accountable department.

From dramatically increasing body camera compliance to overhauling the use of force policy, our administration has issued extensive reforms to the department that enhance transparency and accountability and prioritize community relations. Since taking office, we have diligently pursued deep structural change within the department, maintaining a focus on the persistent work of changing department culture.

Some of our administration’s top achievements include:

  • Implementing a first-in-the-nation ban on so-called warrior-style training for officers both on and off duty.
  • Implementing updates to the city’s body camera policy, including disciplinary measures for noncompliance, that have improved compliance from less than 55% at the time I took office to over 90%.
    • More recently, we further strengthened the policy by prohibiting MPD officers involved in critical incidents from reviewing body camera footage prior to completing their initial police reports and prohibiting officers from deactivating their body cameras to privately converse while they are responding to a call
  • Issuing new MPD policy to incorporate a victim-centered and trauma-informed approach to sexual assault responses and investigations that prioritizes the victim’s safety, privacy, well-being, and rights.
  • Banning the use of no-knock warrants in the city of Minneapolis.

Overhauling the MPD’s use of force policy to restrict use of force as much as can be allowed by state law, as well as expanding the definition of use of force to include (though not limited to) the improper unholstering of weapon and contact, direct or indirect, that causes pain, injury, or the restriction of movement.

  • Changing MPD’s force reporting policy to require that officers report in detail how and why force was used, as well as any attempts they made at de-escalation before applying force.
  • Allocating $2.5 million of ongoing funding to the Office of Violence Prevention to create the MinneapUS Strategic Outreach initiative, where trusted community members work together on neighborhood teams to serve as outreach workers. These team members identify potentially violent situations and use non-physical conflict resolution, mediation, and interruption techniques to de-escalate conflict. Additionally, outreach workers help community members connect to services that can assist with housing, medical and mental health support, and employment, creating a pathway to peaceful and more prosperous communities.
  • Expanding use of the Mental Health Co-responder Unit that deploys mental health professionals to respond to police calls involving individuals who are or may be experiencing a mental health crisis to ensure they are treated with compassion and dignity and provided help to receive necessary care and services.

CLIMATE, ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT

Our administration recognizes that climate change is an intersectional issue. It affects every portion of our population, though, more importantly, it often impacts our BIPOC communities the most. Minneapolis’ most underserved communities bear the legacy of decisions made without their input and consequently are now among the most impacted by pollution. Our administration recognizes that justice must also mean climate justice, and our plans have targeted key investments into those communities, as well as the city broadly.

Some of our administration’s top achievements include:

  • Launching our city’s 4d program (see above under “Affordable Housing”), the first in the state to create energy efficiency and renewable energy incentives, making it a model that is now being adopted in other cities across the country. These incentives both lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduce utility costs to renters.
  • Investing $2.3 million to fund energy efficiency improvements for the city’s biggest public housing renovation project in history (see above under “Affordable Housing”)
  • Allocating $1.2 million in city funding to the Rebuild Resilient initiative that will provide up to $40,000 to over 200 BIPOC- and immigrant-owned small businesses that are rebuilding after suffering damage during last year’s civil unrest to pay for installation of solar panels and energy efficiency improvements.
    • Installations funded through Rebuild Resilient will be installed trainees from the Minnesota Career Center and Summit Academy OIC in North Minneapolis, providing hands-on job training for a rapidly growing industry
    • By partnering with Xcel Energy, CenterPoint Energy, and others, Rebuild Resilient will generate $15 million in matching investments for energy efficiency improvements in impacted BIPOC communities.
  • Establishing goals for transitioning Minneapolis to 100% renewable electricity for municipal operations and buildings by 2022 and citywide by 2030.
  • Serving on the Steering Committee of Climate Mayors, a network of U.S. mayors leading on local climate action and advocating for federal policies and investments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Increasing the city’s ongoing funding for sustainability and climate work to over $3 million per year.
  • Allocating over $1 million to expand and improve our city’s energy programs based on recommendations from the resident-led Energy Vision Advisory Committee.
  • Piloting and subsequently funding a permanent, full-time Energy and Climate Regulatory Policy Coordinator position focused on implementing policies to advance the city’s Climate Action Plan goals and, being the first city in the state to have a representative advocating for city climate goals before the Public Utilities Commission.
  • Initiating the creation of the Climate Action and Racial Equity Fund by partnering with the McKnight and Minneapolis Foundations to provide grants to local, community-led organizations, groups, and projects that meaningfully and simultaneously advance the goals of the Minneapolis Climate Action Plan and the Minneapolis Strategic Racial Equity Plan.
    • Initiating the creation of the Climate Action and Racial Equity Fund by partnering with the McKnight and Minneapolis Foundations to provide grants to local, community-led organizations, groups, and projects that meaningfully and simultaneously advance the goals of the Minneapolis Climate Action Plan and the Minneapolis Strategic Racial Equity Plan.
      • The Lake Street Council and the West Bank Business Association for a plan to make businesses less dependent on automobile traffic, thereby decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. This money will help support businesses as they adapt to changes in transit patterns and ensure that decisions about carbon-free transportation options are guided by those who have the most knowledge of the local conditions.
      • Dream of Wild Health to support programming around Indigenous plants and seeds. This funding supports the organization of the Upper Midwest Indigenous Seed Network, a database that catalogs information about Indigenous seeds from across the region, empowering local planters with information about plants made to exhibit the greatest resiliency in our region.
      • Black Visions Collective to increase the number of Black leaders in our region who are fighting for climate equity. Black Visions Collective aims to expand to the base of people fighting for equitable climate policies, among those who are most affected.
      • Community Members for Environmental Justice to support a project that will bring neighbors together around emergency preparedness planning in North Minneapolis.
      • MN Renewables Now to support an effort to offer rooftop solar systems on properties around the Northside of Minneapolis.
      • Native Sun, a native-led organization that encourages energy efficiency, renewable energy, and an equitable energy transition that includes awareness, workforce investments, and demonstration. This initiative funds a Fellowship to move the work forward.
      • Pillsbury United Communities for urban agriculture investments that support efforts to cultivate under-utilized urban plots in an effort to grow healthy, local foods. Going on its fifth season, the program’s regenerative practices focus on rehabilitating land in Minneapolis’s Green Zone neighborhoods, decreasing the impact of climate change on BIPOC communities.
      • Project Sweetie Pie for its Northside Safety N.E.T. (Neighborhoods Empowering Teens) program. This collaboration will train youth of color, ages 16-24, in North Minneapolis, and those involved will learn about the relationship between environmental justice, urban agriculture, community service, and more.
      • Sabathani Community Center to support an energy conservation and solar planning project. This project marks the start of a partnership with the Center for Energy and the Environment, and it will allow Sabathani to begin planning for a revisioning and redesign of its outdated and energy-inefficient systems.
    • Grantees are selected by a committee of community members from Minneapolis’ North and Southside Green Zones and the Minneapolis Racial Equity Community Advisory Committee and representatives from the City and partner foundations
  • Launching the city’s mobility hub pilot program to increase residents’ access to convenient low- or no-carbon transportation options, including transit and shared bicycles and scooters, especially at the first and last miles. The pilot program is one of ten community-based projects awarded funding this year through the National Association of City Transportation Officials’ (NACTO) Streets for Pandemic Response and Recovery programs to support the work of five partner community organizations to identify and model ways in which mobility hubs can be used as neighborhood-level infrastructure to address the changing needs of low-income communities impacted most disproportionately by COVID-19 and civil unrest.
  • Increasing funding for the Green Cost Share program which provides matching funds for energy efficiency, solar, and pollution reduction improvements to industrial, commercial, and multi- and single-family properties, with priority given to buildings in Green Zones. The program leverages utility incentives to significantly buy down the cost of these improvements.
  • Updating the city’s Green Fleet policy and investing in the ongoing electrification of the city’s vehicle fleet in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Adopting our city’s nation-leading 2040 Comprehensive Plan that will significantly increase the energy efficiency of new and existing buildings; accelerate investment and use of renewable energy in buildings and transportation; establish more sustainable land-use and transportation patterns that discourage single-occupancy vehicle use and promote pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and other no- or low-carbon mobility options; and more.
  • Completing the city’s 10 Year Transportation Action Plan that sets forth over 350 strategies and actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve street use and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists, and advance transportation equity. The plan sets a goal of having 60% of trips made by walking, biking, or transit by 2030.
  • Investing in the continued development of the city’s All Ages and Abilities Network of bikeways, expanding the implementation of bus-only lanes, and updating the City’s Complete Streets policy to include green infrastructure and micromobility.

Events and activity following the death of George Floyd

See also: Events following the death of George Floyd and responses in select cities from May 29-31, 2020

Frey was mayor of Minneapolis during the weekend of May 29-31, 2020, when events and activity took place in cities across the U.S. following the death of George Floyd. Events in the Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, area began on Tuesday, May 26, the day after George Floyd's death.[9] On May 28, Gov. Tim Walz (D) activated and deployed the Minnesota National Guard to the cities at the request of Mayor Jacob Frey (D).[10] That night, people occupied and set fire to the Third Precinct police department building in Minneapolis.[11] On May 29, Frey and St. Paul Mayor Melvin Carter III (D) instituted curfews in the cities.[12]

On May 27, Frey said that the officer involved in Floyd's death, Derek Chauvin, should be arrested, saying, "I've wrestled with ... one fundamental question: Why is the man who killed George Floyd not in jail?"[13] On May 29, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman (U) announced murder and manslaughter charges and Chauvin was arrested.[14]

On May 26, 2020, the Federal Bureau of Investigation opened an investigation into the events surrounding Floyd's death.[21] On May 28, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota announced that a joint investigation with the FBI and the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division was underway.[22]

On June 2, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights filed charges of race-based discrimination against the Minnesota Police Department as a result of Floyd's treatment. The charges called for "an investigation into whether the respondent’s training, policies, procedures, practices, including but not limited to use of force protocols, and any corresponding implementation, amounts to unlawful race-based policing, which deprives people of color, particularly Black community members, of their civil rights under the Minnesota Human Rights Act."[23] Frey responded to the announcement in a statement saying, "For our city to begin healing, we need to deliver justice for George Floyd and his family and enact deep, meaningful policing reforms. For years in Minneapolis, police chiefs and elected officials committed to change have been thwarted by police union protections and laws that severely limit accountability among police departments. I welcome today's announcement because breaking through those persistent barriers, shifting the culture of policing, and addressing systemic racism will require all of us working hand- in-hand."[24]

Several days later, on June 5, Frey signed a temporary restraining order that prohibited the Minneapolis Police Department from using chokeholds and required officers to report incidents in which they witness excessive use of force. In response to calls from citizens to dismantle the institution, Frey said, "I'll work relentlessly with [Minneapolis Police] Chief [Medaria] Arradondo and alongside community toward deep, structural reform and addressing systemic racism in police culture. And we're ready to dig in and enact more community-led, public safety strategies on behalf of our city. But I do not support abolishing the Minneapolis Police Department."[25] To learn more about policy changes in response to the killing of George Floyd, click here.
