MHP’s Housing Continuum

At East Metro Civic Alliance (EMCA), we recognize that safe, stable, and affordable housing is at the heart of building strong and equitable communities. From ending homelessness to expanding rental opportunities to promoting sustainable homeownership, creating and maintaining affordable homes requires collaborative work across the entire housing spectrum.

That’s why we uplift tools like MHP’s Housing Continuum, which visually illustrates the range of housing needs in our state, along with the strategies and institutions working to meet them. This continuum helps communities, policymakers, and advocates understand where gaps exist and where investments are most needed.

For EMCA, the continuum is more than a framework — it’s a call to action. Whether addressing immediate shelter needs, advancing equitable rental options, or supporting pathways to homeownership, we are committed to ensuring that East Metro residents have access to housing opportunities that reflect dignity, stability, and long-term growth.
