Funding Home: Hennepin Commissioner Conversation

April 27, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Often the most important things are the most difficult. Funding homes for people at the lowest incomes is one of those very important things. And because what we do takes all kinds of funding, it is also one of the most difficult.

Hennepin County is a primary funding source for creating homes for families. In May, the county commissioners will vote on which homes get built, for whom and when.

Despite our many conversations with county commissioners, roadblocks to funding homes (this year) like Emerson Village and Vista 44 remain. Few commitments have been made. And although the county says they share our priority to support those at the lowest income, the funding allocated to homes for those families hasn’t actually been prioritized.

Be part of one or all of the three meetings with county commissioners in April as we invite them to join us in prioritizing funding homes for those that struggle the most finding a safe, stable place to live.

This event will feature West Hennepin congregations and leaders, and District 6 Commissioner Chris LaTondresse and District 7 Commissioner Kevin Anderson.
