Communities are at the heart of Hennepin County's Housing, Community Works and Transit Department.  Our work focuses on investing local, regional, county, state and federal resources in partnership with public and private partners to achieve housing, transportation and transit community improvement goals.

The vision of Hennepin County is a vibrant community with a diverse, growing economy where all people enjoy safe and affordable housing and have access to jobs, community services and neighborhood amenities supported by transportation choices.

Our mission is to build and strengthen communities by developing quality, affordable housing and creating healthy-built environments that provide transportation choices and community connections, attract investment and create jobs.
