The Family Affordability Summit centers on the growing financial challenges facing Minnesota families, with a strong emphasis on the rising cost of child care.
The summit brings together policymakers, community leaders, advocates, and families to examine how child care expenses—alongside housing, health care, education, and everyday living costs—impact family budgets and workforce participation. Discussions focus on practical solutions to make child care more accessible and affordable, support working parents, and strengthen early childhood systems.
Through collaboration and policy-focused dialogue, the summit aims to advance strategies that improve family financial stability and ensure Minnesota remains an affordable, family-friendly state.
