Affordable housing funding for Decker 2 and Mission Heights

Duluth needs over 2,000 affordable units by 2030, and these two projects are the city's shot at millions in state Minnesota Housing dollars this year. The council will formally weigh in May 26 with support resolutions and $400,000 each in future HUD funds.
