Right now, leaders in the House and Senate and Governor Walz are negotiating joint budget targets. It’s not too late to influence Minnesota’s FY26-27 budget. The stakes are high, and state housing investments are more important than ever. President Trump just released his “Skinny Budget” last week. The proposed cuts to HUD would have devastating impact on Minnesota families. We need state leaders to prioritize housing. The Minnesota House’s initial budget proposal invests $75M in one-time appropriations and $100M in Housing Infrastructure Bonds. We need leaders to support the House’s position. 

Governor Walz’s Telephone Number: 651-201-3400

My name is [name] and I live [address]. Support $75M in appropriations to housing and $100M in Housing Infrastructure Bonds.  Safe, stable, affordable homes are the foundation of a thriving state. Minnesota does poorly when Minnesotans don’t have homes that they can afford. 

Thank you,
