Workforce Housing
SE MN Together encourages regional collaboration to address the issues surrounding workforce shortage, one of which is housing. The Housing Action team works to develop commitment and capacity for communities to address their specific needs related to housing including but not limited to affordable housing, housing inventory, single family and multi-family housing, and rehabilitation.
The team works to support this capacity building through housing summits, convenings, toolkits, State, Federal, local and other resources along with sharing resources from and with other housing partnerships and advocates working to find solutions to workforce housing issues and toward workforce housing solutions across the region and specific to the needs of each community.
