OFSAH advocates for a constitutional amendment to create sustainable affordable housing in MN

10/28/2026

What is the Our Future Starts at Home Constitutional Amendment for Housing? It is a ballot measure that would create reliable, long-term funding to help more Minnesotans find and keep a home they can afford. It would dedicate approximately $450M a year to housing for 25 years.

Have other states created dedicated housing funding? Yes. In 2022, Colorado voters approved Proposition 123, which dedicates state income tax revenue to affordable
housing programs.

10/22/2026

We are fighting to make sure our families and future generations of Minnesotans can live and thrive here. Dedicated revenue opens tremendous possibilities for Minnesotans from Warroad to Caledonia.

We were excited to see many of you in Duluth at the Annual Minnesota Coalition for Homeless Conference! We were honored to share our vision for a constitutional amendment for housing. Incremental legislative funding isn't enough to solve Minnesota's housing crisis.

Why a constitutional amendment? For decades, MN has underinvested in homes-with too many MN families left without a safe home. The amendment will generate dedicated funding for housing, much like we dedicate funding for education or infrastructure.

10/13/2026

We are creating a powerful and activated statewide housing movement that is led by frontline leaders and grassroots groups who understand how essential housing is to making Minnesota a fair, affordable and prosperous place to live.

10/10/2026

This campaign is shaped by the values needed to address our problematic housing system: sustainability, equity, resilience, uplifting rural voices, and accessibility.

10/07/2026

Our proposed constitutional amendment will make sure that hard working Minnesotans – from teachers and nurses to firefighters and waitresses – can afford to live in the communities they’re serving.

10/04/2026

How is a constitutional amendment different from regular state housing funding?

The Our Future Starts at Home constitutional amendment would provide dedicated housing funding every year for 25 years. Funding approved through the regular state budget must be decided by the Legislature and governor each budget cycle.

10/01/2026

Has Minnesota done anything like the Our Future Starts at Home constitutional amendment before?

Yes! In 2008, MN voters approved the Legacy Amendment to the MN Constitution, which dedicated funding outdoor heritage, clean water, parks and trails, and arts and cultural heritage.
