Affordable Units are Available at Doyle

Doyle is the first purpose-built, student-housing apartment community property within the surrounding neighborhoods of the University of Minnesota to be guided by the Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive
Plan.

Within the Comprehensive Plan is an Inclusionary Zoning (IZ) provision to provide a percentage of bedrooms within Doyle to be available at an affordable rate. The rate is determined by the City of Minneapolis on an annual basis.

17 bedrooms have been designated at Doyle as affordable.

Who is eligible to apply at Doyle?

Full-time college students who are Pell Grant recipients.

How does this impact collegiate students?

“For Units being counted and leased on a per bedroom basis in student-eligible housing projects, the rent limit will be set to 60% of the maximum rent for an efficiency Unit at the 60% [Area Median Income] AMI limit. The utility allowance for IZ Units being counted and leased on a per bedroom basis in student-eligible housing projects shall be calculated at 60% of the utility allowance for an efficiency Unit.”

[City of Minneapolis Inclusionary Zoning Compliance Manual, Section 4, Sub section 4.1 ‘Determining Rents’. September 28, 2021. Page 13.]

How does a collegiate student demonstrate eligibility?

“Students who are eligible for the Federal Pell Grant shall be eligible for IZ Units or bedrooms in Student Eligible Housing, as defined in the Unified Housing Policy. Applicants for IZ Units or bedrooms in Student-Eligible projects who use the Pell Grant eligibility criteria will have their eligibility verified by CPED staff by reviewing documentation of Pell eligibility from FAFSA or the educational institution where a student is enrolled.”

“For the purposes of assessing Design/Unit Comparability Standards for Student Eligible Housing projects in which leases for Units with multiple bedrooms are signed for individual bedrooms rather than on a per Unit basis...”
