MANKATO — A land trust concept that's been successful elsewhere in Minnesota and across the country is being brought to Mankato, with the aim of allowing more people to afford buying an existing or newly built home. The Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership Community Land Trust has funding to allow 13 homebuyers to purchase homes. 'We help people who never thought they could be homeowners become one,' said Jen Theneman, of the Housing Partnership. The partnership has used the land trust concept in Worthington and Willmar.
