GMHF President & CEO Andrea Brennan said the legislation is a critical step forward in addressing Minnesota’s housing shortage, especially in rural communities.

Minnesota Women's Press interviewed housing experts, including GMHF's Irene Ruiz-Briseño, to learn about the challenges these innovators are tackling to address the state's housing issues.

This significant investment will power a new dedicated Revolving Loan Fund designed to finance a range of homeownership activities, especially in Greater Minnesota and Tribal communities.

These grants to housing organizations will help further advance our mission and support the development and preservation of quality affordable housing statewide.

This funding gives us more capacity to act as a strategic partner for affordable housing creation and preservation throughout the state, with a focus on greater Minnesota communities.
MPR News highlighted the $1 million grant from the Blandin Foundation to support GMHF's capacity building and spur development of more than 400 affordable housing units.

Brennan takes over from founder Warren Hanson and brings vast housing experience and a commitment to achieving impactful outcomes through strong partnerships and creative solutions.

During Warren Hanson's tenure, GMHF provided nearly $1 billion in financing and mobilized another $3.1 billion in investments to support more than 20,000 affordable homes across Minnesota.

GMHF was recognized for the NOAH Impact Fund, a social impact capital structured fund that provides equity financing to preserve unsubsidized, affordable rental housing in Minnesota.

This book, written by the GMHF team, showcases outstanding developments by some of the most innovative developers of affordable housing across the state of Minnesota.
