• 2024 Candidate Questionnaire on Housing Issues: Do the candidates understand or address the need for increased access to affordable homes for families in your community? To help all voters answer that question, Habitat Minnesota has partnered with MHP on a housing questionnaire for all Minnesota state legislature candidates. We’ll be sharing the housing survey with candidates. We need your help sharing and encouraging the candidates in your districts to complete the survey! Find all the resources you need to share the survey and read candidate responses here: 2024 Candidate Questionnaire on Housing
