Lawmakers at the state capitol are writing legislation RIGHT NOW that will have a huge impact on statewide investments in affordable housing. We have just HOURS to influence critical tax bills — and your voice matters!
As we speak, the tax committees are writing their omnibus bills and there’s a narrow window of time to influence the House and Senate. As they juggle competing priorities with limited resources, lawmakers need to hear your support for the Minnesota Housing Tax Credit Contribution Fund (H.F. 4072 S. Anderson | S.F. 3301 Nelson).
Please take just a few minutes to call the Governor and legislative leaders below, especially Chairs Davids and Chamberlain, who will play a pivotal role ensuring the tax credit is included in the omnibus bills. Use the scripts below when you call and leave a voicemail, if necessary.
