|
 The US Department of Housing and Urban Development has announced the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, using federal money to help deal with foreclosed and vacant housing. The City of Saint Paul has received more than $4 million and could apply for additional resources to help purchase and rehabilitate housing in our area. Greater Frogtown staff are working closely with the city staff to get these funds working right away, and we hope to have identified specific vacant homes very soon. Your ideas and input are welcome, please contact us with your thoughts.

Art Rolnick luncheon spurs new action
|
|
|
Greater Frogtown is pleased to thank the over 150 supporters that attended our luncheon at Travelers headquarters in Saint Paul on September 25. We had a great welcome from Councilmember Melvin Carter, a terrific presentation from Frogtown resident Seitu Jones, and an inspiring talk from Art Rolnick of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank on the impacts of investment in our children.
Many of the attendees asked for additional information regarding Mr. Rolnick's research on early childhood education, and are planning new steps to get early childhood scholarships into the hands of more families in our area. You can read more about the return on investment in Frogtown neighborhood kids at the Minneapolis Federal Reserve.
