People should own homes, not big corporations. As a member of the Housing Committee, Matt has helped lead the charge to ban corporations from buying up large numbers of single-family homes, which crowd out families and drive up prices. Matt will keep working to get this legislation passed once and for all.

Out-of-state private equity firms are buying up manufactured home parks, including here in Blaine and Lexington, and jacking up the rents. Matt has authored and is working to pass the Manufactured Home Park Resident Bill of Rights. It will prohibit unreasonable rent increases, make it easier for residents to buy their park, and add new tools to enforce existing resident protections.

It takes too long to navigate the permit process for building homes in Minnesota. As a result, many builders choose to go to other states. Matt will cut unnecessary red tape so homes get built in Minnesota instead. Matt will also make it easier to complete the process to qualify for assistance to buy your first home.
