FAMILY HOUSING FUND

Activate more housing champions - the fund increases public will for housing solutions by supporting advocacy efforts, producing and publishing research, and elevating housing success stories through its strategic communications. The fund also strengthens the local ecosystem of housing organizations and resources by providing support to community-based partner organizations. In 2024, the fund published four reports of research and key learnings and hosted four virtual events with the public to share housing learnings.

Increase supply-this program area aims to increase housing choice and affordability by expanding new approaches to housing development and preservation in the twin cities region. The fund informs local policy throughout the region to preserve and produce housing, while also exploring and supporting new tools for expanding the supply of quality, affordable homes. In 2024, the fund helped convene a coalition of nonprofit housing providers to explore current threats facing the affordable housing sector and identify and amplify potential solutions for bringing the sector back to health.
