The United Nations has designated today as World Habitat Day 2013, to bring awareness to the dire need for quality affordable housing worldwide. You can do your part as a Twin Cities Habitat supporter by signing a petition telling Minnesota decision-makers how important affordable housing is to you.

Quality affordable housing benefits all of us. It is the foundation of stable families and strong communities – improving education, the economy, health, transportation, and the environment.

Housing solutions happen when we work together – non-profits, government agencies, businesses, congregations and individual citizens all have a role to play. Here are some great ways to get involved and stay informed:

Spread the word about affordable housing and share our Pledge to End Poverty Housing with your social networks:
