Native American Community Clinic housing and health campus set to open in September
South Minneapolis project will combine affordable housing, medical care and behavioral health services along the American Indian Cultural Corridor
The Native American Community Clinic announced this week that its new health clinic and affordable housing development in south Minneapolis is expected to open in September. According to MPR News, the $55 million project includes the 83-unit Wihinaphe Apartments above a 30,000-square-foot health center along the American Indian Cultural Corridor. Partners involved in the project include the city of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Wellington Management and UnitedHealth Group.
According to MPR News, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said the city contributed funding through the Affordable Housing Trust Fund, housing revenue bonds and Great Street Grants. Hennepin County Commissioner Angela Conley said combining housing with health care services could help support mental health, sobriety and overall well-being. Dr. Antony Stately, president and executive officer of the Native American Community Clinic, said the campus was designed as an Indigenous-centered healing space featuring artwork by Native artist Marlena Myles.
