About GUS JOHNSON PLAZA
GUS JOHNSON PLAZA is a HUD-assisted rental property in Mankato, Minnesota. According to HUD's Multifamily Properties (Assisted) dataset, the building has 108 total units, of which 108 receive federal rental assistance under Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance and HFDA/8 SR.

A significant share of residents — about 82% — are people with disabilities, suggesting this property is structured around accessibility and supportive services.
