Friends –
Thank you for the calls you have made this legislative session to ensure the Homes for All agenda made it into conference committees! We would not have gotten to this place without your advocacy.
As legislative session moves forward, we gear up for our bills to go through conference committee. The senate and house will vote on the proposed budgets, and lastly, it will be sent to the Governor’s office. The Governor will approve or veto the proposal. Here’s where we need your help!
We need 100+ calls, emails, letters and/or personal meetings to current leadership to make it easy for them to say yes to Homes for All!
Please contact:
- The Health and Human Services (HHS) Conference Committee members (listed out in the script and below) and ask that they advocate for programs that strengthen Minnesota’s Housing Continuum
- Programs include: Emergency Services program, Transitional Housing Program, the Long-Term Homeless Support Services Fund, and Housing with Supports for Adults with Serious Mental Illness
- The leadership to develop a bonding bill that includes $100 million dollars for building and preserving affordable housing
HHS Conference Committee members:
- Senator Benson (31)
- Senator Abeler (35)
- Senator Housley (39)
- Senator Utke (02)

- Rep. Dean (38B)
- Rep. Albright (55B)
- Rep. Kiel (01B)

After contacting these lawmakers in leadership, please let Matt know!
