As a 501(c)(3) entity, it focuses on connecting individuals and communities with information intended to resolve affordable housing issues, aiming to ensure access to housing that costs no more than 30-40% of a family’s annual income. The organization serves a broad audience seeking safe, affordable housing beyond traditional public housing, addressing the informational needs of renters and households navigating housing options. With a mission centered on information access, HousingLink provides data-driven resources and analysis to support housing stability. Its activities include producing targeted updates and briefs, such as regular housing briefs for the Minneapolis and St. Paul area, and collaborating on programs that expand rental housing information and access.

A notable recent development is the expansion of statewide coverage through a new funding arrangement, reflecting its ongoing growth in information services for affordable housing.
