About Us
Since 1995, the Housing First Minnesota Foundation has operated as the charitable arm of Housing First Minnesota, an association of builders, remodelers, suppliers, and trade partners throughout the state. The Housing First Minnesota Foundation is a nonprofit 501c(3) organization composed of supporters who contribute and volunteer their expertise and time to end homelessness. The Foundation is the HomeAid Minnesota affiliate of HomeAid America, a leading national nonprofit provider of housing and resources for people experiencing homelessness, operating through a network of 19 chapters in 13 states.
Building Futures Through Housing
The Housing First Minnesota Foundation partners with local organizations and association builders, remodelers, suppliers, and volunteers to build and remodel transitional housing in the Twin Cities area. Stable and quality housing not only helps our individuals, families, veterans, and communities, but provides a much-needed base for further economic growth within the Twin Cities area.
