Monday night, the Metropolitan Council will hold a public hearing about affordable housing. It's part of a contentious process, held once a decade, in which affordable housing is allocated across the region.

Some argue the Met Council targets too much affordable housing in areas that already have a lot. This, critics say, intensifies geographic concentrations of poverty and racial segregation.
