“With this legislation, we have an incredible opportunity to make a difference for Minnesota and for communities across the nation who desperately need affordable housing,” said Anne Mavity, Executive Director. “It’s crucial we speak up now and show our strong support for this bill.”
According to the ACTION Campaign, both the House and Senate bills increase the Housing Credit allocation authority by 50 percent. In addition, the bills establish a minimum 4 percent Housing Credit rate, which would allow additional affordable homes to be constructed nationwide. The bills include more than two dozen other provisions that improve policy supporting affordable housing production and preservation.
Minnesota is one of the top 10 states impacted by this legislation.
