Neighbors Helping Neighbors Crisis Rent Relief

As a Minnesota community we witnessed and responded to ICE brutalizing our neighbors for months. Though the surge has ended, the devastating impact lives on. People are slowly returning to work, businesses are opening — but an unprecedented housing crisis looms as families have lost wage earners, lost their jobs and built up debt. You have a remarkable opportunity to help.

Please make a tax-deductible contribution to help keep our vulnerable neighbors in their homes! All funds will be directed to Neighbors Helping Neighbors, a mutual aid network connecting Twin Cities communities to families most in need. NHN is supported by the Family Housing Fund, acting as a fiscal sponsor.

The Power of Your Donation

Right now, your contribution goes a long way. A major infusion of resources over the next 60 days is critical to stabilizing immigrant families and preventing mass evictions:

• Gifts of $25, $50, or $100 are incredibly valuable. If you can give more — we will put every dollar to work. Every gift moves a family closer to staying housed.

• Please share this message with your friends and within your networks.

Your donations will be used to help NHN:

• Deliver $150,000 weekly through our rent relief fund

• Distribute donations over $150,000 via grants to rent relief partners with 501(c)(3) sponsorship

Housing Crisis — By the Numbers

The economic toll of this crisis is staggering. Tens of thousands have missed months of paychecks to stay home and stay safe. Wage earners have been abducted, detained, and some deported. Numbers report:

- 67,000 people — 20% of its population — need assistance

- $16 million in back rent in Minneapolis

- $27 and $50 million in back rent statewide

- 59–118% increase in helping calls for housing and rental assistance

Mutual Aid to the Rescue

Thankfully, communities are standing together to profound effect. That’s why we are proudly partnering with Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN). NHN has become the single, streamlined destination for donors who want to reach all coalitions. To date, NHN has enlisted more than 2,500 volunteers and distributed over $1.6M in direct rent relief to affected families.
