Humphrey Institute News on-the-go

Humphrey Institute alum Karl Batalden helps the City of Woodbury launch a special section on its website dedicated to housing issues.

Batalden, who holds a master’s degree in urban planning from the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, said he is also in the midst of promoting the city’s new home loan programs, which will be available to eligible homeowners beginning Jan. 1. Two of the programs are home improvement oriented. The Woodbury Home Improvement Fund and the Woodbury Goes Green Loan program will allow qualified homeowners to enter into a loan to aid in improvements to their homes at a low interest rate.
