Who We Are

Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity engages a broad network of supporters and community members to create, preserve, and promote affordable homeownership in the seven-country metro area of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Twin Cities Habitat is the largest affordable homeownership builder in the seven-county metro area and is an innovative leader across Habitat for Humanity’s global network.

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.
