Give to the Max to Expand Affordable Homeownership

Written by Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity | 9:14 PM on November 3, 2025

It’s Give to the Max season, Minnesota’s great give-together! On November 20, 2025, generous donors like you all across Minnesota will give to nonprofits they care about. It has become Minnesota's most generous day of the year. At Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, we're getting started early. Now through November 20, your gifts will be matched dollar for dollar thanks to Daniel Kuhl and Tien Cai, and an Anonymous Family Foundation.

So please don't wait—send your gift right now!

Work Continues at The Heights

This year, life feels uncertain for many of us, and owning a home feels more out of reach than ever. But it doesn't have to. Twin Cities Habitat is building 147 affordable homes at our largest-ever development: The Heights on St. Paul's Greater East Side. We kicked off construction last fall, and now, just one year later, the first Habitat families are preparing to move in. They will be celebrating the new year in homes they own!

We’ve made incredible progress at The Heights, but there’s still more to build. It's our largest and more ambitious project ever. Over the next several years, we’ll continue building toward our goal of 147 affordable homes in this vibrant, diverse neighborhood. Your support today will help more families move in, plant roots, and build generational stability.

Imagine this thriving St. Paul community 20 or 30 years from now with hundreds of kids and grandkids growing up, graduating, and celebrating life’s milestones in the homes you helped build. It’s an inspiring vision, made possible with your support.

Expand Affordable Housing Opportunities

Home prices continue to remain out of reach for too many hardworking Minnesotans. Too many people are stuck paying too much for rent. Affordable homeownership is needed now more than ever. Together, we're building forward together; we're taking steps to ensure every family has a chance to thrive.

The best time to give to Twin Cities Habitat is now, because your gift by November 20, 2025, will be matched dollar for dollar for Give to the Max.

Other Ways to Help

You can show support Twin Cities Habitat in a variety of ways this Give to the Max season. Whether you make a donation or spread the word, your help is needed.

This is your chance to be part of something big. Really big. Because Habitat is just one piece of the puzzle. In total, there will be 1,000 housing units and 1,000 living-wage jobs at The Heights. With your support, we'll keep building community and hope at this East Side community. Will you join us?

Dream big and send your most generous gift today.
