Minnesota Legislative leaders from the House, and Senate will soon begin negotiating with the Governor to set a universal budget target. This will determine how many resources are dedicated to housing in the final state budget.

 Ask Governor Walz to support the House Budget of $75 million for housing, with $30 million for FHPAP, and $100 million in Housing Infrastructure Bonds. 

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

Hello, My name is [__name__] and I live/work at [___address & city___]. Please support the House’s budget for housing of $75 million, including $30 million for the Family Homeless Prevention Assistance Program, and $100 million in Housing Infrastructure Bonds. Our families are facing hard times financially, and paying the rent or mortgage, including utilities, is the biggest cost for household budgets. Our Minnesota families and neighbors need help with housing more than ever
