Minnesota Housing was a premier sponsor of the 2023 Twin Cities Diversity Homeownership Fair, which took place on Saturday, May 20. WCCO's event coverage highlights the importance of collaboration between government agencies and real estate professionals to close the homeownership disparity gap.
Guest speakers included Lieutenant Governor Flannigan, Minnesota Housing Commissioner Ho, Department of Commerce Commissioner Arnold, Minnesota Housing Assistant Commissioner Schuchman, Brooklyn Center Mayor April Graves, and Department of Revenue Assistant Commissioner Sarah Bronson, who all expressed their deep commitment to promoting homeownership across the state.
