Good afternoon. My name is Cam Oyen and I coordinate data requests for Minnesota Housing’s Multifamily Division in accordance with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, Chapter 13.
This will acknowledge receipt of your data request. Staff are working on identifying and assembling the requested materials. For ordinary public government data, the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act references providing requested materials “…as soon as reasonably possible…” as opposed to some specific timeframe. Only requests for data about the person making the request are subject to a ten-day deadline. Rest assured we are working on satisfying this request as soon as we reasonably can in light of other work, including other data requests we received before this one.
If you have questions, please email me directly. Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for this update!

Good afternoon. Please accept my apologies for the length of time it has taken to get the requested data to you.
You will note that there is an Excel spreadsheet with the list you requested. There is also a .pdf showing contact information for the Minnesota Housing Tax Credit “suballocators.” In Minnesota, there are certain more local government entities that also allocate tax credits. To obtain similar information from those localities, you will need to contact the suballocators directly.
If you have any questions, please contact me via email. Thank you.
