Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing -
MICAH lives out the prophetic vision that calls us "to do justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God".

📣 This powerful crew hit the doors in manufactured home parks across the Iron Range this week! We talked with residents about the Manufactured Housing Bill of Rights and why we need the to act now.
