Please use this survey tool to provide updates and new policies for your jurisdiction.

Throughout the seven-county Twin Cities region, jurisdictions are advancing housing agendas to meet the needs of the communities they serve. Local governments have an important role to play in promoting the optimal use of public resources, processes, and powers to support affordable homes, policies, and investments that benefit the whole community.
The Twin Cities Housing Policy Finder tracks local housing affordability, preservation, and protection policies throughout the region. 
FHFund developed the housing policy tool in partnership with Bennett Community Consulting and Visible City and does not represent an endorsement of any policy or ordinance displayed. Information in the Housing Policy Finder is based on voluntary survey responses from participating local jurisdictions.
