New documentary on affordable housing in the Twin Cities region to air on TPT

Date: Thursday, June 8, 2017

A new documentary about the state of affordable housing in the Twin Cities region will air on Twin Cities Public Television starting Sunday, June 11.

Sold Out: Affordable Housing at Risk looks at the constant threat to affordable housing from changing economic forces and urban development that break up vital communities. Low-income residents have fewer and fewer options, and local businesses and schools must deal with the impact of losing those families.

Minnesota Housing Partnership produced the documentary with financial support from the Metropolitan Council. Among the people interviewed in the film are Council Member Gary Cunningham and Council Regional Policy and Research Manager Libby Starling.
