Additional funding for 47 Douglas Street rehabilitation
An 1883 house the HRA has owned since 2010 — saved from demolition twice by neighbors — is finally close to a rebirth. Historic Saint Paul will rehab it into a two-bedroom home sold to a buyer at or below 80% of area median income, with up to $5,000 in down payment assistance tied to five years of owner occupancy. The board votes on the final subsidy August 5.
