Minnesota Housing provides access to safe, decent and affordable housing and builds stronger communities across the state. As the state’s housing finance agency, it offers funding solutions and services to help Minnesotans buy and fix up their homes and to stabilize neighborhoods, communities and families. It also supports the development and preservation of affordable rental housing through both an annual competitive financing process and long term asset manage­ment. It has pioneered a successful model for supportive housing that helps stabilize the lives of some of the state’s most vulnerable citizens. In 2018, Minnesota Housing invested over $1 billion in programs that helped 66,000+ households maintain a stable living environment.

Minnesota Housing has built a loan origination and servicing system on Salesforce.  Built on Sales Cloud and Community Cloud, a case management-style system gives Minnesota Housing a platform for processing funding requests, answering questions, closing on a loan, and distributing the financing to support the development of new affordable housing units or rehabilitation of existing units.   They went from a paper-based application process to a completely digital process.  

For our speaker, we have a member of the Minnesota Housing team who will speak to us about some of their work, and some of the awards they have applied for and received. Todd Sauder is a development team lead who is very active in our Twin Cities Architect Community.  

Note:    After our meeting, we will have the opportunity for extra networking!  
We hope you will be interested in gathering together at the Groveland Tap for a beverage or food and discuss the future Architecture plans...
