MPHA FORTY-FOUR PROPERTY DIRECTORY CARDS — MPHA's current directory https://mphaonline.org/properties/ has 44 cards: 42 addressed high-rise buildings, one 184-townhome Glendale development and one citywide scattered-site group. Repeated campus names with different numbered towers are distinct building cards; Glendale and scattered-site homes are unpinned groups. Unit totals describe portfolios or buildings, not vacancies. Reviewed September 29, 2026. MPHA leasing office 612-342-1475; https://mphaonline.org/mpha-housing/ (reviewed September 29, 2026). Site property managers handle residents, not leasing or applications; their numbers below are for on-site questions, not a way to join a waitlist. MPHA says incomes must be at or below 80% of area median income and that applicants undergo criminal-history screening; it explicitly says that simply having a criminal history does not disqualify a person. This is not a guarantee for any specific conviction or property: request the current written policy https://mphaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2026-Statement-of-Policies.pdf. Seniors age 62+ apply in person at MPHA, 1001 Washington Avenue North, on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday, 8:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m. (https://mphaonline.org/mpha-housing/housing-for-seniors/).

The family-housing waitlist is currently CLOSED (https://mphaonline.org/mpha-housing/housing-for-families/); its RentCafé instructions apply to people with existing applications or a future reopening, not a current opportunity to join. MPHA's office is an application site, not a residence. A property card, unit count or application page is not evidence of a vacant unit or a property-specific screening decision.

Screening practices and applicable requirements can vary by property and location. Ask the property about its current written criteria before applying, and consult a qualified local housing or legal resource if you have questions about your rights. Approval is never guaranteed.

Are there apartments in Minneapolis that don't run background checks?

Screening practices vary. Ask each housing provider directly whether it conducts background checks and what criteria it uses. Listings on this page show reported screening information and are labeled with their verification status; reported details should be confirmed with the property.

Should I disclose my record before applying in Minneapolis?

Consider asking the property about its screening process and application requirements before paying any fees or submitting an application. Requirements differ, so confirm details directly with the housing provider.

How current is the screening information for Minneapolis?

Where available, each record shows its verification status and the date it was last verified. Information may be reported or unverified and policies can change, so confirm details directly with the property before applying. If you spot outdated information, please let us know.
