No matter what part of Minnesota you’re from, having a safe, stable place to come home to is the foundation for our wellbeing. But Minnesota is facing a housing crisis that is making it harder for people -- many struggling to make ends meet -- find and afford a safe place of their own. It's time to take care of all of us; together we can ensure everyone, regardless of zip code, has a place to live our lives and care for our families. 

Minnesota Housing Partnership (MHP) and Homes for All MN have invited candidates for the Minnesota House of Representatives and the Minnesota State Senate to complete a 2020 Candidate Questionnaire on Housing Issues. The questionnaire covers issues from health and housing, to the impacts of coronavirus, to racial disparities in homeownership, and more. View the full questionnaire and the responses as they come in over the next few weeks by following this link.
