Learn about the pro-housing movement and how you can make housing more affordable near you!
We are a group of volunteer housing advocates in Minnesota fighting to end the housing shortage in our community. We are frustrated by the tenant displacement, segregation, high rents and home prices, and long commutes that result from a lack of housing close to jobs, schools, and other community resources. We believe we can fix these problems and create a community with abundant, affordable homes for everyone.
The housing shortage is a result of harmful laws at all levels of government. Inclusive housing policies will help shrink the racial wealth gap, reduce displacement, reduce carbon emissions, and give more people access to jobs and high quality schools.
Change is possible when we advocate as a community. We bring together the voices who say YES to more housing in the Twin Cities region. Is that you? Join Twin Cities YIMBY and be part of the nationwide movement to end the housing shortage!

Make housing permits fast and fair, removing arbitrary barriers to both subsidized affordable and market rate housing.
