Strategic Need:

Reduce involuntary displacement in rental housing for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities

The City of Minneapolis relies on rental property owners to provide safe, stable housing for more than half of its

  • residents. Through our rental licensing

authority, the City has a unique relationship with rental property

  • wners that can be more effectively

leveraged in upstream activities to ensure racially and ethnically diverse residents who rent their homes are equitably supported in meeting their needs for safe, affordable and accessible housing.

PROBLEM OVERVIEW

  • BIPOC communities experience higher

eviction rates.

  • Evidence suggests BIPOC communities

also experience involuntary rental displacement outside of eviction process.

  • Poorly maintained units affect housing

stability for BIPOC residents which can lead to increased displacement. METRICS OF URGENCY

  • Count/percent of Tier 2 and 3 units located

in 55411, 55412 and 55404 that improve their Tier assignment

  • Number of service requests made to

Regulatory Services by residents in 55411, 55412 and 55404

  • Number of Tier 2 and 3 property owners

that attend the rental property owners management course

HOUSING

KEY LAGGING INDICATOR

  • Count and percent of eviction filings

and judgements

  • Count and percent of Notices to

Vacate or other communication directing residents to move

  • Frequency of move/relocation and

whether the move is voluntary or involuntary VITAL FEW PROJECTS

  • Develop the institutional capacity to better

leverage the relationship the City has with rental property owners to minimize involuntary displacement. GOAL Residents renting in zip codes 55411, 55412, and 55404 reside in safe, habitable, affordable, secure/stable, and respectful homes until they choose to leave.

Strategic Need:

Increase the number

  • f Minneapolis‐based

businesses owned by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; and increase businesses with BIPOC ownership that are still in business after 5 years.

BIPOC business ownership is an important strategy for increasing community and household wealth, and contributes to overall economic

  • growth. Despite increases in new BIPOC

businesses over time, racial gaps in business ownership, revenues, and employment persist. Reducing these gaps requires targeted support for both new businesses creation and retention

  • f existing BIPOC businesses.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

PROBLEM OVERVIEW

  • The City of Minneapolis has a range of

supportive programs available to BIPOC businesses, and while the City collects information about program participation, including demographics, current data collection, tracking, and evaluation practices limit our knowledge of how well these programs work for BIPOC businesses. METRICS OF URGENCY

  • Count/percent and reason for all business-related

contacts with City or our intermediaries, by business owner race/ethnicity

  • Count/percent of issues solved, and how solved, by

business owner race/ethnicity

  • Relationship management indicators, by business
  • wner race/ethnicity Database entries of

BIPOC-owned businesses

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

KEY LAGGING INDICATOR

  • Annual Number/percent of

Minneapolis-based businesses that interact with the City started, by

  • wner race/ethnicity
  • Number/percent of

Minneapolis-based businesses that interact with the City still in business, by owner race/ethnicity VITAL FEW PROJECTS

  • Strengthen the role and reputation of the Small

Business Team as a trusted first step for emerging, new, and existing BIPOC businesses.

  • Improve City’s ability to track and solve

issues/pain points for BIPOC businesses.

  • Improve the City’s ability to track outcomes of
  • ur BIPOC business engagement.
  • Increase proactive, intentional outreach to

BIPOC businesses.

GOAL

BIPOC businesses that directly and indirectly interact with the City meet or exceed national average survival rate benchmarks.

Strategic Need:

Increase the number

  • f Black, Indigenous,

and People of Color ages 10 to 24 years living in higher violence areas of Minneapolis who participate in high quality youth development programs.

High quality youth development programs

  • ffer protective social opportunities for

young people at risk of involvement with

  • violence. Since 2003, funding for youth

programs has been diminishing across

  • Minnesota. The City is responsible for public

safety of all residents, including social and community protections. An absence of quality, sustainable, and culturally responsive programming may contribute to an overreliance on enforcement as the primary method of ensuring public safety. Youth development programs that provide key protective factors that buffer against violence must be a part of the City’s public safety approach.

PUBLIC SAFETY

slide-15
SLIDE 15

15

PROBLEM OVERVIEW

  • The presence of protective factors can

lead to substantial reductions in involvement with violence, even for young people who have significant risk factors for involvement with violence present.

  • There has been a $24 million gap in

youth program investment over the last 20+ years.

METRICS OF URGENCY

  • Number/percent of high-quality, culturally

responsive youth development programs serving Black, Indigenous, and People of Color ages 10 to 24 in higher violence areas in Minneapolis

  • Number/percent of participants in each high-

quality, culturally responsive youth development programs

PUBLIC SAFETY

KEY LAGGING INDICATOR

  • Number of Black, Indigenous, and People
  • f Color ages 10 to 24 living in higher

violence areas who are participating in high-quality, culturally responsive youth development programs

  • Amount of funding allocated to high-

quality youth development programs in high violence areas of Minneapolis compared to the need

VITAL FEW PROJECTS

  • Establish a permanent, stable source of funds

for supporting establishment, maintenance, and delivery of high-quality, culturally responsive youth development programs.

  • Implement a system for monitoring and

reporting the existence of, and participation in, programs in Minneapolis, by neighborhood.

GOAL

A decrease in the number/percent of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color ages 10 to 24 living in higher violence areas who are reported as victims

  • r perpetrators of violence.

Strategic Need:

Improve the use of racially disaggregated data for decision‐ making in the legislative process

In the legislative process, standing committees play a critical role in exercising primary oversight of specific areas of municipal policy. Committees deliberate and recommend ordinances which regulate persons or property and usually relates to matters of a general and permanent

  • nature. Racially disaggregated in the

legislative process increases the effectiveness of this decision-making in advancing the City’s racial equity priority.

Strategic Need:

Increase the percent count of, and spend with, racially and ethnically diverse for profit suppliers across all departments

Racially and ethnically diverse businesses help drive the city’s economic growth. Diversifying our government’s vendor base increases

  • ur access to high-quality products

and services, supports competitive pricing, and ensures we are doing our fair share in supporting important sources of income and jobs in racially and ethnically diverse communities.
