Homes for Our Neighbors - What if we treated housing like a human right?

In 2020, Olmsted County was forecast to need 18,000 additional units of housing by 2030. With higher growth due to Mayo Clinic’s expansion, the need will be even greater.
Olmsted County is a leader in Minnesota for its commitment to locally-owned and -controlled housing.
On June 13, come learn more about how Olmsted County is leading, and call on our county commissioners and local partners to dream even bigger to address our community’s urgent need for affordable, healthy, and climate-friendly homes.

Investing in Community: Equitable Planning and Design Strategies in the Twin Cities and Beyond
-
As Rochester continues to grow, how can equitable design and planning strategies
be utilized to help communities realize the benefits of improvements that are
happening in their communities? This presentation will speak to anti-displacement
strategies being utilized in the Rondo neighborhood of St. Paul, MN, through the
Reconnect Rondo initiative; equitable engagement strategies in Rochester and El
Paso, and the way that culture and context can shape park design in Denton, TX. The
presentation is intended to start a conversation about how Rochester can learn from
these projects and other initiatives to achieve equitable and restorative development.
