What we do
Building homes, communities, and hope.
Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota is a state support organization for local Habitat offices around the state of Minnesota. We believe affordable housing plays a critical role in strong and stable communities.
History
In 1997, Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota was created as a financial intermediary for the local Habitat offices whose dedicated staff and volunteers were building and repairing homes across the state. Since then, Habitat Minnesota has grown to offer several other programs including training & technical assistance, public policy & advocacy, disaster recovery & response, and fundraising & lending.
Guiding Philosophy
Founded in Christian principles, centered in a radical effort to create and live out a vision for our world where everyone has a safe, stable and affordable place to live, Habitat Minnesota is committed to an intersectional approach to diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism.
We are on a journey with an intentional pursuit of equity in housing to create a world where there is no housing discrimination in our communities.
All people have a right to a safe, stable and affordable place to live, and we are working towards dismantling the systemic barriers to this goal for communities who have been historically marginalized and intentionally left behind.
Habitat Minnesota is an affordable homeownership leader bringing about systemic change and advancing our mission, so all people have a safe, stable, and affordable home.
