Background: Homeownership strengthens our communities and provides stability for families. A recent survey showed that 84 percent of Minnesotans believe that owning a home is central to the American dream. We must take a hard look at the cost divers that are having a serious impact on housing affordability.
BATC-Housing First Minnesota is the leading voice of home builders and remodelers and all who are dedicated to building safe, durable homes at a price Minnesotans can afford. BATC-Housing First Minnesota represents more than 1,200 builders, remodelers, developers and industry suppliers throughout the state.
