During the 2025 legislative session, Neighbors for More Neighbors worked closely with other members of the Yes to Homes! coalition to advocate for policies that allowed for more abundant housing to be built across the state of Minnesota.
While the outcomes of the legislative session were not what we had hoped to see, we were able to build power and are prepared to continue to advocate next session for meaningful reforms.
Read the session recap here.
