Winthrop & Weinstine, along with Baker Tilly and Minnesota Housing, are excited to welcome you to the Affordable Housing Summit on June 4, 2026. The conference is the region’s premier event focused on the development and financing of affordable housing. Now, more than ever, our community needs to gather influential voices to help our local economy advance affordable housing projects. The Affordable Housing Collaborative is a not-for-profit organization that hosts the Affordable Housing Summit (the Summit), held annually in Minneapolis.
This full-day, in-person event brings together state and local governments, developers, not-for profits, and housing advocates to discuss industry trends and legislatives changes and to create opportunities for open conversation and collaboration. Join us and network with your colleagues in the affordable housing community and leave the Summit with a better understanding of development and financing issues and options for your next project. The day will include dynamic keynote speakers, smaller group break-out sessions, and extended breaks for one-on-one meetings, as well as breakfast, lunch, and a networking and cocktail reception to conclude the day.

- Keynote Speaker: Renee M. Willis, NLIHC
