The Minneapolis 2040 plan document contains language promising to prioritize housing resources for areas described as cultural districts populated by people of color, Indigenous people, and/or immigrants.
The Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan includes Policy 34, "Cultural Districts," which explicitly states that the city will "strengthen neighborhoods by prioritizing and accelerating economic development, public transit, and affordable housing policies, practices, and resources" in certain areas. The same policy further notes that "current City policies, resources, and departmental work will be prioritized" to achieve racially equitable outcomes including "stable housing" within these districts.
The plan also defines a Cultural District as "a contiguous area with a rich sense of cultural and/or linguistic identity rooted in communities significantly populated by people of color, Indigenous people, and/or immigrants." This matches the statement’s description of cultural districts as areas significantly populated by people of color, Indigenous people, and/or immigrants. Based on these provisions, the statement accurately summarizes both the prioritization of housing-related resources and the demographic definition of cultural districts in the Minneapolis 2040 plan.
Verdict: True, because the Minneapolis 2040 plan expressly commits to prioritizing affordable housing resources in designated Cultural Districts and defines those districts using the demographic language cited in the claim.
