Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity strives to both change the systems that lead to poverty housing and build communities where everyone can afford to live. To that end we work to educate policy makers and change public opinion about affordable housing. There are many ways for you to get involved!

Legislative Ambassadors will have the latest information on housing issues around the globe, be included in a closed discussion group to share information, and have priority registration to attend  monthly Habitat events. Learn more here. 

Take Action Now!

This year is a bonding year! One of the ways we can put money back into affordable housing is to push for bonding for housing. Governor Dayton has already requested that $32 million be put towards affordable housing and we are pushing for $40 million.
