HousingLink Releases New Affordable Housing Search Tool

For people struggling to put a roof over their head, HousingLink introduces the newest way to find affordable housing in Minnesota – hList.

With hList, anyone with internet access can search for affordable rentals by location, rent amount and bedroom size. Key features include:

· Easy-to-sort, easy-to-print results
· Properties accepting subsidized housing, including Section 8
· Properties with accessible units
· Accounts for property owners/managers to easily manage their information
· Free access, 24/7

Before hList, HousingLink offered two ways to find affordable housing online: the Private Market Vacancy Report (PMVR) and Online Directory of Affordable Rental Housing. hList integrates the best of both resources to create a powerful and intuitive new search tool.

“We went to great lengths to gather feedback from our users to determine the design of the hList,” said Ben Van Hunnik, Marketing Manager with HousingLink.

“I met with renters, service providers and property owners to see what they wanted in a new search tool. Their feedback helped us develop an easier, more effective resource for people in need of affordable housing.”

HousingLink is an independent, nonprofit, non-government agency with a mission to connect people and communities to information that supports the resolution of their affordable housing issues.
