Cities <br />applied for a block of funding and are responsible for determining eligibility of applicants and <br />administration of funds. <br />SAINT ANTHONY PROGRAM CRITERIA <br />The City’s application was submitted to MCES on November 20, 2025. Staff were notified on December <br />15, 2025 that St. Anthony was awarded $38,000 for the 2026 program year. The MCES program <br />guidelines are attached to this memo for reference. <br />The City will use the following criteria for the 2026 program year: <br />City will accept applications online starting on April 1. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling, <br />first-come first-served basis until all funds are allocated. <br />Property must be owner-occupied and not used for rental purposes. <br />Prioritize applications meeting equity criteria (income verified with 2025 Federal tax return). <br />Grant awards may be 50% of eligible costs up to $5,000. For private property owners meeting <br />their municipality’s equity criterion, the grant award may increase up to $10,000. <br />To include an equity criterion component for the program, staff used the FY2025 income limits summary <br />utilized by the Metropolitan Council, which are based on the Federal Housing of Urban Development <br />(HUD) limits.
