Housing is a vexing topic for city leaders. The reality is that a shortage of housing exists in our nation and our region. Increasing the supply of affordable housing is even more challenging. Housing is expensive and in short supply.
The Twin Cities Housing Alliance is a trusted resource and an ally of city leaders and housing advocates who are working to tackle the housing conundrum in the Twin Cities Region.
