More than 100,000 households across Minnesota — including seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and working families — rely on federal rental assistance to stay in their homes and connected to their communities.

Even a small reduction in funding could push thousands of Minnesotans out of their homes, stran local services, and increase costs for everyone.

With Congress set to debate housing funding in the coming weeks, it’s more important than ever to understand the vital role rental assistance plays in our state’s economic and community well-being.
