Minneapolis is bringing back rooming houses to ease the city s housing shortage problems and help stabilize people who are homeless or on the brink of it.
The City Council last week approved a new ordinance that will make it legal to build single-room dwellings with shared bathrooms and kitchens.
Council Members Cam Gordon, Lisa Goodman and Jeremy Schroeder crafted the ordinance to give low-income people a housing option that they say will address a gap in the city s affordable housing.
Minneapolis officials say single-room dwellings will help end homelessness

Minneapolis dropping duplicate effort to replace police June 30, 2021 at 6:10 pm
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Three Minneapolis City Council members who were trying to advance a proposal to replace the police force with a new agency are dropping that effort after a similar citizen-led approach made it onto the November ballot.
Council members Steve Fletcher, Phillipe Cunningham and Jeremy Schroeder formally withdrew the proposal they drafted, citing possible confusion for voters between their ballot question and a similar proposal put forth by Yes 4 Minneapolis, a coalition of local groups, the Star Tribune reported.
The council version was withdrawn during a Wednesday committee meeting, and the full council will vote on the withdrawal Friday.
