Urge your Senators to invest in homeownership!

The Senate is currently considering the budget reconciliation bill and is expected to make revisions. This is an opportunity for us to call on Senators to support solutions that will address the lack of affordable homeownership supply in our state and country. To keep up with the demand for affordable housing in our communities, we need Congress to prioritize funding and tax policies that help spur development and make homeownership accessible for all.

Specifically, we are asking Senators to:

Support the New Markets Tax Credit Extension Act of 2025 that would make NMTC permanent. New Market Tax Credits are an important resource that incentivizes development in low-income neighborhoods using tax credits, and is currently set to expire in 2025.
Support the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act (NHIA), which would provide a federal tax credit to build and rehabilitate homes for low- and moderate-income homeowners, helping mobilize and incentivize investment into distressed neighborhoods.
Support robust funding in fiscal year 2026 for critical housing programs that support homeownership:
- HOME Investment Partnerships Program
- Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG)
- AmeriCorps
- The Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) Fund

Subject: Prioritize Homeownership in the Budget

Message:

As your constituent and a supporter of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, I urge you to prioritize policies during the budget process that support investments for affordable homeownership. The preservation of these resources is essential to ensuring families across Minnesota can thrive, especially in the midst of an affordable housing shortage. Safe, decent and affordable homes provide the physical foundation for success in nearly every aspect of our lives. Homes are essential to our health, our ability to learn as children, our ability to prosper as adults, and our ability to age with dignity. The US is facing a record shortage of starter homes, making the dream of homeownership out of reach for many hard-working families. In Minnesota, more than 1 in 4 people pay more than they can afford for housing. We need federal investments to address the shortage of supply and keep up with the needs of our communities, and this reconciliation package is an opportunity to do so. To accomplish this goal, I strongly encourage you to support the following priorities: 1.	Support tax provisions that support homeownership activities, specifically: - Cosponsor the bipartisan New Markets Tax Credit Extension Act of 2025 (S.479) that would make NMTC permanent. - Cosponsor the bipartisan Neighborhood Homes Investment Act (S.1686), legislation that would revitalize distressed neighborhoods by using federal tax credits to mobilize investment to build and rehabilitate homes for low- and moderate-income homeowners. - Ensure these provisions are included in any tax package. 2.	Support robust funding in fiscal year 2026 for critical housing programs that support homeownership activities. These include programs such as: - HOME Investment Partnerships Program, and Community Development Block Grant Program - The Community Development Financial Institution Fund - AmeriCorps Thank you for your support and partnership in ensuring everyone has a chance to unlock homeownership.
