Check out this opportunity to help shape antidisplacement efforts along the Blue Line Extension (BLE) corridor. Blue Line Coalition partners and supporters are encouraged to apply, and spread the word about this opportunity.

The Anti-displacement Community Prosperity Program (ACPP) Board is developing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to distribute $10 Million in funds appropriated by the Legislature to mitigate displacement caused by the Blue Line Extension. The Board seeks RFP review panelists to review proposals against evaluation criteria established by the Board.

Get involved

• Ideal review panelists include residents and business owners in the BLE corridor, including those with expertise in real estate development or financing, housing, small business supports, and workforce.
• The time commitment is approximately 10-15 hours beginning Summer 2025, and compensation is available in the form of a $50 prepaid debit card for each day of service.
• In the event a panelist applies for ACPP funding or is involved with an organization that applies, the panelist will be ineligible to participate in the review of that application.

Contact Eric Gustafson, eric.gustafson@hennepin.us to learn more or apply to the review panel.
