As we approach 2024, a huge thank you to all of our partners for everything we accomplished this past year—$2B in funding for housing plus $9.9M in tax credits available to Minnesota taxpayers, in addition to MHP’s data-based research publications, and our community development work providing technical assistance to communities in every corner of the state and beyond.
As Governor Walz said last night, it truly takes a village. To achieve our ambitious goals for 2024, MHP has raised more than $2 million for our fiscal year that began on October 1, and we’re looking to the community to secure an additional $900,000 for the coming year. This is what it takes to accomplish all that we do, and we’re confident that with the support of our partners, we can achieve our goals to advance affordable housing in Minnesota and beyond.
