Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity is excited to announce a new partnership with Two Harbors Investment Corp. The Minnetonka-based real estate investment firm is a contributing sponsor to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity’s Mississippi Dunes Townhomes in Cottage Grove. Along with community volunteers and faith based partners, corporate partners like Two Harbors Investment Corp. will help Habitat build four homes each year over the next three years at the site.
“We are pleased to form this partnership with the Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity,” said Thomas Siering, Two Harbors’ President and Chief Executive Officer. “This is a great way for us to strengthen the local community by helping provide affordable housing to families in need.”
Mihret Wolde and Alemayehu Kulbado are just one of the dozen families that will eventually reside in the Mississippi Dunes Townhomes. Mihret and Alemayehu both moved to Minnesota from Ethiopia. The couple and their two children look forward to having enough space for everyone and the privacy that comes along with owning a home. After buying their house, the couple plans to continue their children’s education, find better jobs, and improve their way of life.
Corporate sponsors like Two Harbors Investment Corp. are essential in ensuring Twin Cities Habitat can fulfill the promise of its mission to eliminate poverty housing in the Twin Cities. Corporate sponsors have access to a number of sponsorship benefits including media recognition, site signage, and invitations to Twin Cities Habitat special events like our annual Hard Hat and Black Tie Gala.
