Housing Replacement Program Properties

The Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) created the Housing Replacement Program in 1995 for the purpose of removing older, substandard housing and replacing it with new housing. The program was re-established by the Minnesota Legislature in 2010. The goals of the program are to:

1. Help eliminate blight.
2. Preserve and expand the City's tax base.
3. Encourage neighborhood revitalization through re-investment.

All the properties purchased by the HRA for the Housing Replacement Program are acquired on a voluntary basis directly from the owner (either an individual or bank). In some cases, properties are also acquired through tax forfeiture. Once acquired, the structures are demolished and the lots are then sold on a first-come, first-serve basis.

How to Reserve a Lot

There are two options for reserving a HRA lot through the Housing Replacement Program:

1. A home builder may reserve a site and then find a buyer.
2. An individual may reserve a site and then find a builder.

To reserve a lot, you need to fill out a Lot Reservation Agreement (found in the Housing Replacement Program Guide(PDF, 216KB) ) and pay a reservation fee of $1,000.00. The fee will be applied to the purchase price of the property.
