Late in 2020, we launched a collaborative effort to help BIPOC households become owner-occupants of 2-4 unit homes as a means to reduce our region's racial disparities in wealth. Our early successes are summarized in this report: fhfund.org/report/buildin #BuildEquityMSP

Homelessness is not inevitable–it is the result of choices and policies we make as a country, as a community, and as individuals. In 2022, there's more homeless people in the US than during the Great Depression. MN needs to invest in affordable housing now. #InvestinHome #MNLeg

Housing is a social justice issue. The 2018 Wilder survey found that BIPOC & LGBTQ youth are especially overrepresented in MN's homeless population. We need #Bonds4Housing so ALL Minnesotans have access to affordable housing. #Homes4AllMN #mnleg

Housing changed everything for Eric:“Being [in my own housing] has really given me purpose. I see good things in my future. The future’s looking great for me.” Eric lived on the streets for 5 years trying to hold down a job before entering Avivo Village. #mnleg #Homes4AllMN

It's hard to afford housing on fixed incomes or working minimum wage jobs. Housing costs should be 30% of income and many pay much more than that. Let's ensure all Minnesotans can afford housing. Make investments in affordable housing and universal vouchers! #mnleg #Homes4AllMN

Rising housing costs are forcing our neighbors into homelessness—UHW's work is more critical now than ever.

Our innovation would increase access to liquidity for Black homeowners to preserve and grow the value of their homes. We intend to make structural change by helping embed a new mortgage product into the private market. #EconomicArchitecture

. @SahliEllen of @FHFund’s structural innovation (re)designs the market by changing the basis for issuing mortgages through new product features and also by changing the focus of credit worthiness from assets to liquidity.
