Dedicated to the professional support of new housing developers from rural communities and Native Nations

MHP’s Emerging Developer Initiative (EDI), a state and privately-funded Initiative, was created to support the emergence and professional development of new housing developers from rural communities throughout Minnesota. The EDI is dedicated to the success of entrepreneurs in the housing development industry, through education, mentorship, peer to peer learning and more.

This free training series increases the knowledge and skills of new, emerging housing developers in rural areas. The curriculum is open to ALL who are interested in learning about housing development at all
experience levels.

Interested in Joining Us?

MHP is bringing the Emerging Developer Initiative to Southwest MN this summer! Join us for a 6 month training track followed by 6 months of hands-on learning alongside a developer! Together, we can help increase local housing supply and support individual and community wealth building!
