Hennepin County issued the following announcement on Nov. 2.
Hennepin County has decided not to proceed with the purchase of the Extended Stay America hotel in Bloomington. Due to timing constraints associated with CARES Act funding and the complexity of a deal of this size, Hennepin County has determined the allocated resources would be more impactful if used in other ways to protect and support residents during the pandemic.
As we have since the beginning of the pandemic, Hennepin County remains committed to providing protective housing and safe alternative accommodations for people experiencing homelessness who are at high-risk of dangerous complications from COVID-19.
