Matching the message to the ear that hears it.

Minnesota's affordable housing crisis touches everyone. Those who are fortunate enough to have stable, affordable housing come in contact everyday with people - daycare providers, teachers, mechanics - who need an affordable place to live. Minnesota Housing Partnership has communicated these messages through research, fact sheets, and advertisements.
