The St. Paul Public Housing Agency broke ground with Ramsey County officials Thursday on a project to build 11 new deeply affordable homes as part of a $4.8 million effort expected to be completed by the fall of 2026.

The project, funded by the county and the SPPHA, includes seven townhomes at McDonough Homes and four townhomes at Dunedin Terrace. The homes will be affordable for families earning less than 30% of the area median income.

The agency operates publicly-owned properties and administers housing choice vouchers in St. Paul. McDonough Homes includes 592 apartments originally constructed in 1952, with additions made as recently as 2016. Dunedin Terrace Family Development includes 88 apartments originally constructed in 1966, with renovations made in 1992 and 1999.
