According to Ron Clark Construction & Design spokesperson Mike Roebuck, units planned for Pillsbury Commons do not qualify as subsidized or Section 8 housing, as each tenant would pay the full amount of their rent. As part of the Minnesota Housing and Finance Agency (MHFA) program which Ron Clark Construction expects will finance much of the project, rents at Pillsbury Commons would be 50 percent of the MHFA published rates for Hennepin County. Residents will need to meet minimum and maximum income levels to qualify; currently a family of four could have an income level of no more than $49,620. I'm not sure about the availability of units for undocumented immigrants -- I simply don't know what kind of paperwork would need to be provided in order for residents to qualify for the MHFA guidelines, or whether such documentation would be prohibitive for undocumented immigrants interested in renting there.
