GroundBreak Coalition’s Path on Rental Housing
A key area where we have more work to do, as a Coalition and as a state, is in addressing the affordable housing crisis. Where we live determines everything, and stable housing underpins every other wealth-building activity. However, for too many MSP residents, particularly families earning less than 40% of area median income (AMI), there is an acute shortage of rental housing that is affordable. Identifying long-term and permanent breakthroughs in this area is critical for our region and for GroundBreak’s vision of a future where every resident, no matter their race or background, has the opportunity to build wealth and achieve their aspirations in MSP.
