Hennepin County to speed house demolitions

The homes that will finally be demolished have been standing burnt out for two
or more years with hole in the roof and Henry Reimer has probably not seen a
one of them. Those of us whom have had to live with them have given up on
reporting the number of times they have been open to trespass because it just
costs us more and there is no one to pay the bill except us currently paying
our taxes. Since the city doesn't have money for demolition they have been just
left standing. If there was anything of reclaimable value it has been long
since stolen and sold to either the scrap yard or the salvage and antique
dealers.

The article mentions:
"Most of the Minneapolis properties that are boarded and vacant will not be
demolished but will be rehabbed, said Henry Reimer, the city's inspection
services director."
Of the buildings that are set for demolition, can any of the remaining
building materials be reused/recycled/reclaimed or are these homes a total
loss?
How can communities be a part of the rehabbing process? How can we encourage
the city/county to focus on creating more sustainable and affordable homes?
