Company Description
Little Earth is 9.4 acre, 212-unit Housing and Urban Development (HUD) subsidized housing complex located in the urban industrial core of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Little Earth was founded in 1973 and remains the only American Indian/Native preference project-based Section 8 rental assistance community in the United States.
The Little Earth community has become a model for organizing on a variety of environmental and social justice issues, as well as a model of self-determination for all Native peoples. Although originally intended to be temporary housing, Little Earth residents prefer to live close to or in the community due to the communities’ cultural identity and the need for cultural preservation.
