Biographical History
Under the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966, Minneapolis was chosen in November 1967 as one of sixty-three cities nationwide to participate in the federally sponsored Demonstration Cities (Model Cities) Program. The program's goal was to implement a total attack approach on the social, economic, and physical problems of a specific area of the city. With funding from the Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD), The Minneapolis Model City Program concentrated its efforts in a mixed racial area south of the central business district that suffered from high unemployment, crime, poverty, and housing and educational deficiencies. The program worked with the community to improve the areas of manpower and job development, economic and business development, transportation, communication, housing, environmental protection, recreation and culture, health, education, social services, and crime and delinquency. Funding for the program was abolished in 1975.
