Minnesota Housing Partnership - Housing Institute

body

Minnesota Housing Partnership (MHP) is launching a unique initiative to increase the supply of housing in the southwestern region of Minnesota:  MHP’s 10th Housing Institute in Southwest Minnesota.  In many rural communities, there’s a significant gap between the supply of affordable housing and the number of people who need it. MHP’s Housing Institute closes that gap through customized curriculum, guided collaboration, and capacity building for a variety of community stakeholders.  Established in 2010, the Housing Institute brings together housing leaders and stakeholders to share their experiences, learn best practices, and develop creative solutions for bringing quality affordable housing to their communities.

 

MHP’s Housing Institute offers a 12+ month program with a unique opportunity to gain the expertise, tools, and connections needed to bring more housing to your community.  The Housing Institute plans to host six (6) 2-day workshop events from June 2025 to August 2026. Luverne has been invited to apply.  If we apply, a team from our community can benefit from a customized curriculum designed to expand your housing development knowledge, while collaborating with fellow housing leaders, funders, developers, and other valuable partners. If selected, our community will receive expert guidance from MHP’s experienced staff.
