ADVOCACY IN ACTION

Finishing the Year Strong This year has provided a big leap forward in the discussion of expanding homeownership opportunities for more Minnesotans. The issues are complicated and interconnected, but throughout the summer we saw the evolution of press coverage of housing issues and the introduction of a comprehensive housing affordability initiative. This collection of proposals will be the basis for the housing debate for the rest of 2021 and the coming year. As this proceeds, the Lead Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule for remodeling projects continues to be debated and a legal challenge on the overcharging of building permits moves ahead. As always, Housing First Minnesota’s work is driven by the dedication and expertise from our committee and task force volunteers and our professional staff. We thank all of them and look forward to finishing the year strong! Onward, Follow @HFMNAdvocacy on Twitter for the latest housing industry updates
