Housing Needs and Opportunities in North Dakota

November 6 @ 10:00 am – 3:00 pm CST

State outline of North Dakota over a new housing development.

Households in cities and towns across our region are struggling with increased housing costs and other housing-market-related concerns. How can state and local governments support housing production and affordability within their jurisdictions, especially in smaller cities and rural areas?

On November 6, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis will host an event featuring housing experts from around the country discussing successful strategies for supporting housing production in smaller cities and rural areas. A panel of experts from North Dakota will describe their efforts to address housing challenges in their communities, and Minneapolis Fed researchers will share data on housing market trends across the state.

The event will be hosted in person at the Bismarck Event Center and livestreamed. We hope you’ll join us for this timely conversation.
