Building forward with intentionality
Build Forward Together is Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity’s strategic plan and comprehensive campaign designed to expand homeownership opportunities, advance racial equity, and engage the community to strengthen our foundation.
As an organization, we are building forward with intentionality – centering our work around those most historically impacted by housing discrimination, redlining, racial covenants, and systemic racial housing practices. When we build forward together, we work to create a community where every family has access to the transformational power of home.

Serving Those Who Served
