In August 2017, the City of Lakes Community Land Trust (CLCLT) acquired 210 West 46th Street. The foreclosed property had been vacant for several months; however, the CLCLT saw the opportunity to create, in partnership with Kingfield Neighborhood Association, a long-term affordable home in the southwest area of Minneapolis, which is increasingly difficult to achieve. Through the CLCLT, the home will be sold to an owner-occupant earning 80% or less of Area Median Income and will remain affordable long-term through the community land trust resale process.
Please join us at the open house on Thursday, January 23 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Tuesday January 21, 4-6 PM at 4100 Harriet, Judson Memorial Baptist Church

Kingfield Neighborhood Association has been working to create a Diversity and Inclusion Statement to guide our work and assure that we are reaching out and welcoming every member of our community. The draft statement is printed here and we welcome your comments. We will use your feedback to revise the draft and present and vote on it on March 18th. Please submit your comments here: bit.ly/KFNADiversityStatement
The Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA) is committed to being an equitable and inclusive organization that reflects the diversity and many identities in our neighborhood. We are stronger as an organization when we have a broad vision that includes diverse voices, ways of knowing, and ways of doing. We are committed to taking action to realize this vision. KFNA specifically seeks to foster the leadership and participation of people who neighborhood organizations have historically underinvested in. This includes people who rent, and people who identify as BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color), LGBTQ+, youth, and seniors.
