<span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">For over 30 years, MHP has been providing direct technical assistance to communities across the state. MHP’s Community Assistance team strives to support housing policies and programs that increase housing variety
and open communities to all people, particularly those of diverse racial and economic backgrounds. Creating meaningful change requires thoughtful engagement in communities, while building common ground to help clear the way for more equitable housing options.
To help move our work forward, the Community Assistance team is scheduling eight virtual listening sessions. We invite you to join us to share your insights, challenges, and ideas, which will help us build a robust understanding of your local housing landscape
and assist your region moving forward.</span></p>
