Source summary
HUD’s Office for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity has notified the City of Minneapolis that it will investigate the city’s housing plans for possible violations of the Fair Housing Act and Title VI. HUD officials, including Secretary Scott Turner and Assistant Secretary Craig Trainor, accused Minneapolis and Minnesota leaders of prioritizing housing by race and national origin and cited parts of the Minneapolis 2040 plan and the city’s Strategic and Racial Equity Action Plan as examples. HUD provided a link to the full notification letter and said it will thoroughly investigate the alleged discrimination.

The Minneapolis 2040 comprehensive plan’s Policy 43 on Housing Displacement explicitly includes an action step to “expand programs that support existing homeowners in affording and maintaining their home, with a focus on people of color, indigenous people, and vulnerable populations, such as low-income households, the elderly, and people with disabilities.” The policy is framed as a formal commitment the City “will seek to accomplish,” making it reasonable to describe this as the city vowing to focus on people of color and Indigenous people when expanding homeowner support programs. The wording in the claim closely tracks the language in the official policy.

Verdict: True, because the city’s official Minneapolis 2040 policy explicitly commits to expanding homeowner support programs with a focus on people of color and Indigenous people, matching the substance and wording of the statement.
