Doubling Down on the Housing Affordability Institute
As Minnesota’s housing affordability and inventory challenges have worsened in the past four years, the need for a quality housing policy discussion is greater than ever before. To meet the moment, the Housing Affordability Institute will be redoubling its efforts.
In 2018, Housing First Minnesota founded Housing Affordability Institute, a housing policy think tank, to help in educating others in how government policies can have an adverse impact on our industry here in Minnesota. Its first research effort, Priced Out, led to the creation of the Legislative Commission on Housing Affordability in 2019. Housing Affordability Institute’s work on building permit fee research has been the subject of legislative hearings and generated immense interest from the media. Both papers published by the Institute have been instrumental in charting the course of the housing policy discussion in Minnesota in the past three years. “Housing Affordability Institute has had an important role in allowing Housing First Minnesota to elevate housing as a top issue in Minnesota,” said James Julkowski, 2022 Housing First Minnesota board chair. “We’re excited about the Institute taking on a more proactive role in the housing policy space.” Check out Housing Affordability Institute’s new website and look for new research and content coming soon.
