2116 Nicollet Focus Group Application
Whittier Alliance owns a currently vacant lot at 2116 Nicollet Ave. We have entered a partnership agreement with Alliance Housing where Alliance Housing plans to build 53 units of deeply affordable housing on the lot, plus ground floor office space for Whittier Alliance and Alliance Housing, as well as a community event space.
The project is currently awaiting final notifications on funding, and we expect to hear by the end of this year if the project will be fully funded. If the project is fully funded, construction will begin in 2026.
We would like to have a group of 10-12 community members available to provide feedback as we move through these processes. This is an application to be part of that focus group. If selected, you will not be required to attend ever feedback session, but we hope to have at least six focus group members at each feedback session.
Focus group members will be paid $50 for each focus group session that they attend. Focus group sessions will typically last 1.5 hours and be held in person at the Whittier Alliance office (10 E 25th St). Focus group session timing will be determined by availability polls to the focus group members selected.
