Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota

Together, We Can create generational impact

At Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota, we have a vision of a world where everyone has a safe, stable, and affordable place to live.

In order to live out our vision, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, community and hope.

Through advocacy, collaboration, and leadership, Habitat Minnesota advances the work of Minnesota’s 25 Habitat for Humanity affiliates to create and preserve affordable homeownership in their local communities.

Habitat Minnesota advances affordable homeownership across Minnesota through our work in four areas:

• Public policy and advocacy work to increase funding for and decrease barriers to affordable homeownership opportunities
• Training and technical assistance for Habitat staff who “wear many hats” in their roles
• Fundraising and lending programs to fuel the work of Habitat in communities statewide
• Disaster response and recovery support as Habitat staff stabilize their organizations and local communities through tumultuous times

To learn more about the progress Habitat Minnesota made in these areas last year, take a look at our most recent annual report here.

After Habitat homeowners move into a safe, stable, and affordable home, many more opportunities open up for their families. They might have the space to grow their family or adopt pets, they might go back to school or pursue a new career, and nearly all have more opportunities to spend time as a family and pursue shared hobbies.

“Since moving into our Habitat house almost ten years ago… I have since had another child, so now I have a two-year-old and also a fifteen-year-old who is a sophomore in high school. I’ve seen my 15 year old grow up in this house but now I will also see my two year old grow up in this house, and that’s really, really special and an amazing thing for me as a mom.

Some of the little things that we’ve noticed after buying and moving into our Habitat home were just the safe and secure feeling that you have when you finally know that something is yours. And you don’t have to worry about neighbors or anything like that, and it’s just so peaceful and calming. And I think that’s been the biggest little thing since moving into our home.”
