Governor Dayton announced his appointment to the position of Minnesota Housing Finance Agency (MHFA) Commissioner, Mary Tingerthal, today.

BAM is intrigued by the Governor's choice and his quote, "Her [Tingerthal's] leadership will propel the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency back into its traditional role as not only our state's premier public housing finance institution, but also a national leader in helping lower- and middle-class families afford to buy homes and stay in them."

The prospect of a traditional agency aiding both middle-income in addition to lower-income families with housing is an exciting change. BAM will seek out the new commissioner and hope to have a meeting with her shortly.
