EVERYONE DESERVES A PLACE TO CALL HOME
Minnesota’s residential builders, remodelers, and suppliers believe that housing is everything. We are so proud of our industry and its philanthropic commitment to the association’s nonprofit charitable arm, the Housing First Minnesota Foundation.
The Housing First Minnesota Foundation is a mission-driven organization focused on partnerships that lead community build projects for vulnerable individuals, families, and veterans who are at risk of or experiencing homelessness. Our community build projects are a unique, collaborative model connecting builders, remodelers, and their trade partners in the building industry with nonprofit organizations needing new or renovated housing solutions.
The housing shortage in the Twin Cities metro has led to skyrocketing rent and home prices, leaving many low-income families and individuals unable to afford permanent housing. According to the Minnesota Homelessness Management Information System’s Point-in-Time count, nearly 5,000 individuals are experiencing homelessness, including 250 veterans, within the seven-county metro, 56% of whom cite difficulty finding affordable housing as a primary contributing factor.
THANK YOU
Partial proceeds from the Artisan Home Tour help support the Housing First Minnesota Foundation. Several projects are underway right now to help individuals experiencing homelessness rebuild their lives through housing.
