Right Now, Families Need Your Support More Than Ever
Since 1989, NeDA has been transforming communities from the ground up, helping families of color across Minnesota achieve financial stability and the dream of homeownership—especially those historically blocked by systemic barriers.
Rising housing costs, reduced public funding, and limited access to credit are creating unprecedented challenges for the families we serve. Your support is urgently needed to help more families move from instability to long-term economic security.
Why Your Gift Matters Right Now
159 families became first-time homeowners in the last 3.5 years—90% with down payment assistance
2,170 households received one-on-one counseling, 655 attended group education
75+ Somali children rely on our daycare while parents pursue jobs and economic opportunity
Credit-builder loans, home repair assistance, and financial coaching are in higher demand than ever
Without donor support today, these families risk being left behind.
The Need Is Real: Your Partnership at Work
In the past three and a half years, your generosity helped NeDA:
- Counsel 2,170 households individually, 655 via group education
- Enabled 159 first-time homebuyers, 90% of whom received down payment assistance.
- Generated $42.2 million in community investment, strengthening neighborhoods and narrowing the racial homeownership gap
- Maintained 204 affordable rental units, including 57 senior units.
- Deliver 500+ credit-builder loans with a 0.01% default rate.
This is what equitable impact looks like—because donors like you make it possible.
