Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 9 § 9.31
PROJECT BASED HOUSING VOUCHERS (PBV) (Bloomington Housing Opportunity and Preservation Ordinance)
Operative Text
The city, through its HRA, shall allocate project-based vouchers annually in support of the creation of opportunity housing units for households at or below the extremely low and very low median income limits at or below 50% of AMI. (Ord. 2019-16 , passed 2-25-2019)
Under Bloomington, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 9.31, the city's Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is required to set aside project-based housing vouchers on a yearly basis. These vouchers are specifically directed toward creating 'opportunity housing units' for households whose incomes fall at or below 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI), covering both extremely low- and very low-income thresholds. The provision establishes an ongoing municipal commitment to subsidized housing production rather than a one-time allocation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Developers and property owners pursuing project-based voucher (PBV) partnerships in Bloomington should be aware that § 9.31 obligates the city's HRA to make annual PBV allocations targeting opportunity housing units. Operators who structure their projects to serve households at or below 50% AMI are the intended beneficiaries of this allocation framework. Staying current with the HRA's annual allocation cycle and income-targeting requirements is a standard practice for operators seeking to participate in this program.

Section 9.31 of Bloomington's Code of Ordinances establishes a right, at the municipal level, for extremely low- and very low-income households to benefit from annually allocated project-based vouchers tied to opportunity housing units. Households at or below 50% AMI may be eligible for housing supported by these vouchers, and contacting the Bloomington HRA directly is a common way to learn about available units and application processes. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with local HRA programs can also help explain how project-based voucher housing differs from tenant-based assistance and what protections may apply.
