Opportunities to Engage

As the state's housing finance agency, we know housing is an essential part of a community. Housing impacts Minnesotans of all backgrounds in all corners of the state. It touches all areas of life including education, health, jobs and more.

Our work spans a broad range of activities to meet a variety of housing needs from building homeownership pathways to supporting housing stability to funding the development and preservation of housing.

Minnesota Housing often has opportunities for members of the public to provide comment on Agency draft plans and attend public hearings. 

The State of Minnesota’s 2024 Housing and Community Development Action Plan is available for public review and comment. This plan reflects year three of the state’s 2022-2026 Consolidated Plan. 

Comments on the draft Action Plan will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. on May 22.

Written comments can be submitted to Natasha Kukowski by:

Learn about the public hearing to gather input on housing and community development needs, as well as how federal funding should be allocated in the state.  

We are often out and about in communities around the state. We also occasionally cohost community housing forums around the state. Check our events calendar for upcoming events in your region.
