EMCA Survey

Participate in the East Metro Civic Alliance’s Survey￼

<h2>Why a Multicultural Center in Minnesota?</h2>
<p>The east metro has seen an explosion of diverse populations, particularly outside the urban core. A new Multicultural Center would foster positive community relations and dismantle common misunderstandings. The new Center would fill a gap in the area for a welcoming, flexible, iconic meeting space that would foster dialogue between different cultures and build community.</p>
<p>Minnesota has a long history of leading the conversation on human rights, inclusion and equal rights. This facility would recognize the long legacy of advocates in Minnesota and inspire civic engagement of users to further this important work.</p>

<h2>Why Section 3?</h2>
<p>The purpose of the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Section 3 program is to provide economic and employment opportunities to low-income individuals. Specifically, Section 3 requires recipients of certain forms of HUD funding to provide job training, employment, and contracting opportunities to low- and very low-income residents and eligible businesses.</p>
<p>East Metro Civic Alliance is working to ensure Section 3 hiring and contracting obligations are being met to grow economic opportunities to eligible residents and local businesses</p>
