The Twin Cities Daily Planet's series, The New Normal: Deciding Community Priorities in a Downsized Economy, tackles a different issue each month. In June we'll be talking about health care, and will ask people in the Twin Cities: "How can we ensure that all Minnesotans have access to good, affordable, dependable health care?"   

Come and chat with others over snacks, learn some basics about trends in health care coverage, and let us know how you think we should best expand coverage for all Minnesotans. Whether you're a health care provider, patient, work in the insurance industry, or a concerned citizen, we want to hear your thoughts on solutions for creating good health care coverage for all Minnesotans.

We'll be using research from the Wilder Foundation's MN Compass project and an article from the Twin Cities Daily Planet to get this interactive conversation going. By participating in this discussion, though, you'll provide the part that matters most. We'll report on these conversations in the TC Daily Planet, and will share the results with policy makers.

hud/section8 housing crisis

Submitted by norman wylie (not verified) on Fri, 2011-07-22 13:51.

with so many vacant properties in the metro area, can a program out of hud, or the banking community, or private org. or a non-profit, assist with home ownership?  At current interest rates, and the relatively low cost of liveable housing, it seems it would be better to assist in ownership,(where residents have a more clear stake in the property, as well as neighborhoods. Im looking for something to buy in St.Paul, or Mpls if I can work out some more details.  thanks norm
