With equitable community development, communities have the resources they need to thrive, and community members have the power to uniquely grow their community in the way that works best for them. Minnesota Housing recognizes that some communities have been subject to disinvestment. These communities may be predominantly comprised of people of color, rural communities, and/or communities with low incomes and low wealth. They have been harmed by policies, practices and market forces that have taken wealth from these communities or created barriers that have disproportionately prevented them from having access to financial resources. Equitably investing in these communities, building their capacity and sharing power not only repairs past harms, but also better positions communities to address their housing needs moving forward.
