Today’s conversation is centered around the First-Generation Down Payment Assistance Program and First Generation Homebuyer Programs in Minnesota, aimed at helping buyers achieve homeownership.

In this episode, we sit down with Christina T. Akinola from MN Housing and Tiffany Phillips from Bell Bank to discuss the importance of these programs in addressing housing justice and equity, particularly for marginalized communities.

Together, we highlight the long-term wealth benefits of homeownership and the need for collaboration between industry professionals to address affordability, financial stability, and access to credit.
