As the syndicator, Minnesota Equity Fund placed $3.3 million in 4 percent low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity into a multi-investor fund operated by Cinnaire.

Higher Ground now provides shelter to more than 450 people, and includes 232 semi-private bunks and 165 single room occupancy units of permanent housing for formerly homeless individuals.

The total cost includes $15.5 million in low income housing tax credits issued by the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency through a partnership with the Minnesota Equity Fund and with Cinnaire.

The plan for this project came out of the 18-month Housing Institute co-hosted by the Greater Minnesota Housing Fund and the Minnesota Housing Partnership.
