Every North Dakotan deserves access to stable and affordable housing.

Housing affordability is one of the biggest challenges facing many individuals and families across our state. Addressing this issue requires collaboration between state and local leaders, home builders, housing organizations, businesses, nonprofit organizations, and other housing partners to identify solutions that meet North Dakota's growing housing needs.

I support efforts to:

• Partner with local home builders, housing organizations, and housing professionals to expand affordable housing opportunities.

• Encourage responsible residential development that supports sustainable growth.

• Expand pathways to homeownership for first-time homebuyers and working families.

• Expand housing options for renters, seniors, veterans, and individuals with disabilities.

• Promote workforce housing initiatives that help employers attract and retain employees.

• Encourage collaboration among public and private partners to address housing needs across North Dakota.

Affordable housing strengthens our economy, supports a growing workforce, and helps ensure North Dakota remains a place where individuals and families can build a bright future.
