The Minnesota Legislature formed a bipartisan Commission on Housing Affordability in 2019. The Commission will look at new and existing policies to find opportunities to spur innovation, encourage transparency, and improve the homeownership equity gap. The Minnesota Senate also took an important step forward when it formed the Select Committee on Homeownership Affordability and Availability. Both forums seek to create the opportunity for broad-based and coordinated housing policy discussions that address the challenges of housing issues spread across multiple legislative committees.
