City welcomes new HRA Administrator

Sarah Abe, Bloomington’s newest Housing and Redevelopment Authority Administrator, started in September.

Abe holds two master’s degrees, one in social work from the University of Minnesota and one in public policy from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Her last position was with the city of Brooklyn Park where she was senior project manager.

Along with coordinating and administering HRA programs and activities, Abe facilitates the development and implementation of policies and action plans and manages the HRA budget. Her team also advocates for solutions on critical housing issues.

“I’m looking forward to serving the community and enhancing housing opportunity in Bloomington,” Abe said. “Along with the HRA team, I am excited to address the challenges and opportunities of preserving and promoting affordable housing.”
