10 Feb. 2026 Craig Freeman, Director of Development Affordable Housing in Minnesota – Busting Homelessness Myths Feb. 10, 2026 7:00 a.m. When people talk about affordable housing or homelessness there is often an image in their head. It could be the person with a sign on the street corner. Perhaps someone huddled in a seat on the light rail. Or maybe it’s a rundown apartment building. Each of these images is accurate for some part of the housing crisis in Minnesota, but how representative are they of the whole? For that matter, what even is the crisis? Join us to learn more about the importance of creating more safe, stable housing, how someone loses the housing they have, and what it takes to get it back.
