Ensure that lawmakers in Minnesota's political parties make safe, affordable homes for all a priority by submitting a caucus resolution. Parties vote on submitted resolutions, and if a resolution is passed, the party considers it for incorporation into their legislative platform.
Submitting a resolution is simple, and it's a key step in advancing Homes for All's legislative agenda for 2020 and beyond, helping to ensure that all Minnesotans have a safe and affordable place to call home.
