Affordable Housing

 

Housing is a human right.

Stable, affordable housing is harder to come by for our community and we must focus our energy on investing in affordable housing that serves families in our city. Expanding the number of affordable housing units available is critical to addressing the current crisis. 

We need to preserve the current stock of affordable housing options while also partnering with the City of Saint Paul and Ramsey County to identify new projects that can and will include housing that serves all income levels in our community. 

We must look for proactive ways to collaborate with developers to ensure affordable housing is created in all areas of our community. 

 As your legislator, I will:

  • Demand that state bonding dollars increase the amount we invest in housing across the state

  • Work with renters to ensure they are treated fairly by landlords and that protections already in law are enforced

  • Create more public-private partnerships to ensure our community can bring more affordable housing online with the new rent control measures in place in Saint Paul
