Focus on the People and Places Most Impacted by Housing Instability
Some communities of shared identities, experiences or geographies disproportionately face housing instability and experience disparities in access and outcomes. These communities are our priority because the current market is not working for them, and they are experiencing barriers in accessing and navigating affordable housing.
We must create a system that uniquely supports the whole person and the full range of their connections to family, friends, jobs, school, places of worship, services, resources, amenities and the community. People are inherently rooted in where they live, and together, they build a community of belonging and well-being.
This is the backbone of thriving communities. We must take responsibility to both repair past harms and include people that face housing instability and barriers in the creation of a better system. We must also shift the balance of power to those most impacted by housing instability since they are directly experiencing the harm. In addition, we must look to invest in communities in Greater Minnesota, where market challenges are impacting housing outcomes and the local economy.
