<strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Humanity</strong><br />

Annual Report 2007 – <strong>2008</strong>


Dear Friends,<br />

Th is year has brought about some dramatic changes in our country. We can’t think<br />

of a time in recent history where the need <strong>for</strong> safe, decent and aff ordable homes has<br />

ever been more acute — where the importance of stable housing <strong>for</strong> family success<br />

has ever been as clear.<br />

While <strong>Habitat</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Humanity</strong> remains committed to building in the urban core, we also<br />

built <strong>Habitat</strong> homes <strong>for</strong> the very fi rst time in four more cities in the region. In all, 40<br />

partner cities have now welcomed <strong>Habitat</strong> families to their neighborhoods. A Brush<br />

with Kindness served more families than ever be<strong>for</strong>e, and our Mortgage Foreclosure<br />

Prevention Program counseled more than 700 Minneapolis families who are struggling<br />

to keep their homes. And, we accomplished this with your help while having to quickly<br />

adapt to the changing market around us. Our very endurance is a testimony to our<br />

innovation and your partnership.<br />

As you read the stories of hope in this report, you will be struck by the perseverance<br />

not only of the families we serve, but of our volunteers and donors who have given so<br />

generously to <strong>Habitat</strong> this past year. Greatness is rarely measured from a particular<br />

moment in time, but rather the sum of our actions over the many days of our lives.<br />

So many individuals have contributed their hearts and hands to the families we<br />

serve — your lives truly refl ect “greatness” beyond measure.<br />

Each and every one of you have contributed to our work so that together we can<br />

eliminate poverty housing from the <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> and make decent, aff ordable shelter<br />

<strong>for</strong> all people a matter of conscience. Th ank you <strong>for</strong> building a tangible legacy <strong>for</strong> our<br />

community.<br />

Gratefully,<br />

Susan Haigh, President<br />

Mark Lee, Chair of the Board of Directors


<strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong>’s Mission<br />

To eliminate poverty housing from the <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> and to make decent, af<strong>for</strong>dable<br />

shelter <strong>for</strong> all people a matter of conscience.<br />

Our Vision <strong>for</strong> the Future<br />

We see a <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> region where hard-working families can own homes in healthy<br />

neighborhoods with access to jobs, transportation, and quality schools. We will help<br />

make decent, af<strong>for</strong>dable housing a matter of our collective character — by continuing<br />

to build and preserve homes, by supporting families and by engaging the community<br />

in our mission.<br />

The Values that Guide Us<br />

Faith in Action<br />

We are called by our faith in God to serve families in need with generosity, humility<br />

and love. We welcome people of all faith backgrounds and beliefs to join us in our<br />

common goal of eliminating poverty housing.<br />

Hope<br />

We provide hope and opportunity <strong>for</strong> hard working families who seek a safe, welcoming<br />

home as a foundation <strong>for</strong> a life of well-being. We provide hope and opportunity <strong>for</strong> all<br />

who seek to generously share their resources to build a just and equitable world.<br />

Community<br />

We bring people from all walks of life together in partnership to build decent, af<strong>for</strong>dable<br />

housing, create community and trans<strong>for</strong>m lives.<br />

Integrity<br />

We honor our commitments, and we act with fairness, honesty and respect in all of our<br />

relationships and in our stewardship of the resources entrusted to us.<br />

Perseverance<br />

We continually strive <strong>for</strong> excellence and innovation to create a positive, enduring<br />

impact in all that we do.<br />

A typical <strong>Habitat</strong> home is 1,400 square feet with three bedrooms.<br />

{ 2 } { 3 }<br />

We serve families that<br />

earn less than 50% of<br />

the Area Median Income<br />

(AMI). For a family of<br />

four the AMI <strong>for</strong> <strong>2008</strong><br />

was $80,900.


Homeownership Program<br />

Diversity is not often a term you hear associated with housing, but that’s exactly the<br />

word to describe <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong>’s housing portfolio. In addition to the range<br />

of multifamily building styles the affiliate has tackled over the years, our in-house<br />

design team has developed over 30 spin-offs from their original five basic single<br />

family house designs.<br />

The flexibility and innovation of our build team has enabled us to help more <strong>Twin</strong><br />

<strong>Cities</strong> communities offer a range of housing options. With the variety of designs, we<br />

can cater our homebuilding to fit the unique needs of a given community. Yet, while<br />

<strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> houses are indistinguishable from the neighboring homes on the<br />

outside, the inside of the homes remain modest to reflect our approach of building<br />

simple, decent and af<strong>for</strong>dable homes.<br />

Despite the simplicity of design, <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> has remained committed to using<br />

quality building materials that are sustainable and durable, and has continued to make<br />

strides in our af<strong>for</strong>dable green building ef<strong>for</strong>ts.<br />

We are building a<br />

tangible legacy <strong>for</strong> the<br />

community<br />

This past year, <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> dedicated<br />

homes in the cities of Anoka, Bayport, Chaska,<br />

Chanhassen, Hastings, Minneapolis, Plymouth,<br />

Ramsey, St. Paul, St. Paul Park and Woodbury,<br />

half of which were in fast-growing communities<br />

where we have built <strong>for</strong> the first time.<br />

In addition, in response to the <strong>for</strong>eclosure crisis, <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> has developed a<br />

<strong>for</strong>eclosure remediation strategy. <strong>Habitat</strong> anticipates purchasing several properties in the<br />

core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as inner ring suburbs in the coming year.<br />

The organization continues to build in many cities throughout the region, but ultimately<br />

the focus remains on where the need <strong>for</strong> af<strong>for</strong>dable housing is greatest. We understand<br />

that we are building a tangible legacy <strong>for</strong> the community.<br />

{ 4 } { 5 }<br />

Children with stable housing are more likely to stay in school longer.<br />

<strong>Habitat</strong> homes are not only<br />

beautiful on their own, but blend<br />

into the surrounding community.<br />

Education <strong>for</strong> homeowners<br />

includes instruction in<br />

home maintenance, and in<br />

being a good neighbor.


Homeowner Story: Ron and Tari<br />

Ron awoke to the smell of smoke but didn’t think much of it. Then came the fire alarm;<br />

there was Ron all alone with nowhere to go. Relegated to a wheelchair and living on the<br />

third floor of his apartment building, there was no elevator to bring him to safety.<br />

“I thought to myself there is no way I’m making it out of here on my own power,” said<br />

Ron. “Thankfully, the firemen were able to pound my door down. Then they wrapped<br />

me in sheets and carried me down the stairs.”<br />

Ron no longer deals<br />

with elevators or stairs<br />

and there are ramps<br />

leading to the front and<br />

back doors.<br />

Scared of living alone after the fire, Ron, his girlfriend<br />

Tari, and her teenage daughter Tamme looked <strong>for</strong><br />

apartments where they could live together. Finding<br />

an af<strong>for</strong>dable place that was accessible <strong>for</strong> Ron’s<br />

wheelchair and large enough to accommodate their<br />

family of three was impossible. So they kept their<br />

separate apartments, hoping that one day they could<br />

af<strong>for</strong>d a place <strong>for</strong> their family to call home.<br />

One day while reading Access Press, Ron came across an article portraying the need <strong>for</strong><br />

af<strong>for</strong>dable housing <strong>for</strong> disabled people. <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Humanity</strong> was holding<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mational meetings to get people with disabilities involved with the program.<br />

Ron and Tari braved a snowstorm, driving from Plymouth to attend a meeting in<br />

Minneapolis. That very night they began the application process and took their first<br />

steps towards owning their own home.<br />

“It wasn’t more than a couple months after the meeting that we received the call telling<br />

us we had been selected <strong>for</strong> a home in Plymouth,” says Ron. “I was so thrilled to be a<br />

homeowner in the city I’ve lived in <strong>for</strong> the past 15 years.”<br />

<strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong>’s construction staff tailored a home <strong>for</strong> Ron’s special needs.<br />

Cupboards with shelves that slide out, lowered light switches, and specially positioned<br />

windows to help regulate Ron’s delicate body temperature, were a couple of the<br />

provisions made. Ron no longer deals with elevators or stairs and there are ramps<br />

leading to the front and back doors. As <strong>for</strong> Tari, she enjoys being able to come back<br />

with groceries <strong>for</strong> the week, walk a couple steps, and be inside her home.<br />

When it came time <strong>for</strong> the family to put in their allotted sweat equity hours neither<br />

Ron nor Tari could participate as construction volunteers. Tari, recovering from major<br />

back surgery, spent her volunteer time doing data entry and mass mailings. Ron, on<br />

the other hand, put his photography talents to use by taking hundreds of snapshots<br />

of <strong>Habitat</strong> volunteers. Through the volunteer process both Ron and Tari developed<br />

lasting relationships with <strong>Habitat</strong> staff that they will never <strong>for</strong>get.<br />

“Whether it was the site supervisors, AmeriCorps members or office staff,” Ron said.<br />

“It’s been an absolute joy getting to know everyone we have come in contact with<br />

through this program.”<br />

{ 6 } { 7 }<br />

Ron and Tari enjoy time spent in their kitchen, which BOTH can use.<br />

Special features included ramps,<br />

paddle-style light switches,<br />

pull-out (and pull-down) drawers<br />

at chair-accessible height, and<br />

roll-in shower.


A Brush with Kindness Program<br />

Whether it’s installing a railing <strong>for</strong> an ailing senior citizen or providing painting<br />

renovations <strong>for</strong> a family whose money is going to medical bills, <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong>’s<br />

A Brush with Kindness program has been a blessing to those in need. “Many of these<br />

homeowners have owned their residence <strong>for</strong> decades, and have worked hard to maintain<br />

them,” said Pat Lund, Program Manager.<br />

As one or two<br />

homes on a block<br />

are fixed up, other<br />

neighbors tend to<br />

follow suit and<br />

community pride<br />

blossoms.<br />

At the same time that they experience life challenges<br />

like aging, disability, death of a spouse, or divorce, they<br />

also face challenges keeping up with repairs to their<br />

home. For the first time, they may find themselves in<br />

the awkward and sometimes embarrassing position of<br />

asking <strong>for</strong> help. A Brush with Kindness is a program<br />

that connects people and restores homes through<br />

simple acts of assistance so that homeowners can once<br />

again live in a safe and decent home.<br />

In the past year terrible economic conditions have<br />

elevated the importance of A Brush with Kindness <strong>for</strong><br />

low-income people in need. Un<strong>for</strong>tunately, the resources to help these homeowners<br />

have not kept up with the ever increasing need. To better respond to the need, A<br />

Brush with Kindness focused on using more volunteers in the spring season, finding<br />

skilled volunteer crews to concentrate on the more difficult projects and expanding<br />

the number of projects <strong>for</strong> seniors. This past year A Brush with Kindness worked with<br />

over 2,000 on-site volunteers, 121 volunteer groups and served 100 families helping to<br />

rebuild dozens of city neighborhoods.<br />

A Brush with Kindness has made a deliberate ef<strong>for</strong>t to take on projects in neighborhoods<br />

where <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> homes are being built. Run-down homes that need some<br />

attention are being brought back to life, so they can once again provide a warm and<br />

secure home <strong>for</strong> a low income family. “It’s exciting to see how the program has a ripple<br />

effect on the surrounding neighborhoods where we work,” said Lund. “As one or two<br />

homes on a block are fixed up, other neighbors tend to follow suit and community<br />

pride blossoms.”<br />

Work on 100 ABWK homes was completed this year.<br />

2,000 volunteers<br />

in 121 groups<br />

made it happen!<br />

Homeowner Story: Trish Lynne and family<br />

For homeowner Trish Lynne a citation from the city couldn’t have come at a worse<br />

time. Working two jobs, enrolled in nursing school and being the single mother of four<br />

left her virtually no time to prep and paint the exterior of her home. “I was planning<br />

to paint the house all along,” she said. “I just didn’t think I’d be under the gun like this<br />

to get it done.”<br />

Facing the possible loss of her home and steep fines Trish sought help from family<br />

and friends. Her father even took vacation time, traveling from Michigan to lend a<br />

hand. The group that assembled began to scrape and sand the flaky, rotting paint that<br />

had covered the home <strong>for</strong> years. “The help was great at first and I appreciated it whole<br />

heartedly,” she said. “However it was difficult <strong>for</strong> people to come back every weekend<br />

while keeping up with their own lives.”<br />

Knowing that my family<br />

will be together in this<br />

home <strong>for</strong> some time,<br />

I feel whole again.<br />

Months passed, her helpers came and went and<br />

Trish was left with half a house painted and a<br />

rapidly approaching deadline. Looking <strong>for</strong> some<br />

help she applied <strong>for</strong> a loan but was later rejected.<br />

Trish then asked <strong>for</strong> and was granted a continuance<br />

from the city. Running out of options she turned<br />

to <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong>’s A Brush with Kindness<br />

after reading a success story in her neighborhood<br />

newsletter. Within weeks Trish was back on ladders<br />

painting trim, this time with the help of <strong>Habitat</strong><br />

staff and volunteers who supplied the resources to get the job done.<br />

“After not getting approved <strong>for</strong> a loan I lost all hope that the improvements would ever<br />

be made,” Trish said. “I can’t thank <strong>Habitat</strong> enough <strong>for</strong> establishing this program that<br />

keeps families in their home.”<br />

Currently Trish lives with her fiancé Don and his child in the same home that caused<br />

so much trouble <strong>for</strong> so long. The couple’s first date came after a long day of painting <strong>for</strong><br />

Trish. “I remember having paint still caked on my fingernails and then explaining to<br />

him the mess I was going through,” she says. With five kids in the house going to three<br />

different schools Trish is thankful to no longer be single parenting. “With Don moving<br />

in and knowing that my family will be together in this home <strong>for</strong> some time, I feel whole<br />

again,” she says. “I make it a point to tell other low-income families struggling to hold<br />

onto their house about what A Brush with Kindness has done <strong>for</strong> me.”<br />

Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention<br />

After a hard day’s work on the job or in school — or in times of illness, discom<strong>for</strong>t or<br />

turmoil — nothing beats the experience of coming home. This past year has reflected<br />

just how fragile the com<strong>for</strong>ts and stability of home are, as our nation continued to<br />

experience the subprime mortgage meltdown.<br />

Hope arrives in many <strong>for</strong>ms. For residents of Minneapolis, hope comes from a familiar<br />

name in the housing world.<br />

Things are slowly<br />

changing <strong>for</strong> the better.<br />

<strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Humanity</strong>’s Mortgage Foreclosure<br />

Prevention Program has been on the front lines of the<br />

housing crisis, led by veteran <strong>for</strong>eclosure prevention<br />

expert Cheryl Peterson, who manages the program.<br />

<strong>Habitat</strong>’s <strong>for</strong>eclosure prevention counselors bring hope<br />

to the families that desperately need to secure that sacred<br />

place they call home.<br />

Make no mistake — the program’s model carries the same “bootstraps” approach that<br />

is characteristic of <strong>Habitat</strong>’s other programming. Homeowners must also be open to<br />

straight talk, honest feedback, and lifestyle changes that will help them get current on<br />

their mortgage payments.<br />

“We facilitate the process, negotiate with lenders and do our part to help them resolve<br />

bad mortgage arrangements. But ultimately, the homeowner has to be an active<br />

participant in the process,” said Peterson.<br />

In the past year, the Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention Program has seen an explosion<br />

of growth as it doubled in size and staff. After more than 15 years serving residents of<br />

South and Southeast Minneapolis, the program was asked to assume coverage of North<br />

and Northeast Minneapolis during the worst mortgage <strong>for</strong>eclosure crisis in history.<br />

Being in the unique vantage point of serving homeowners in the urban core, Peterson<br />

has seen lending mortgage trends swing from one end of the spectrum to the other.<br />

“The bad news is that subprime trends happened in the urban core first. But the good<br />

news is that the urban core also saw the first trends of mortgage lenders who were open<br />

to working with homeowners at risk of <strong>for</strong>eclosure,” said Peterson.<br />

Loan modifications are one trend in the mortgage industry that Peterson loves to see.<br />

Kwame, Tessa, Hassan, Cheryl, Matt and Aleisha<br />

Superheroes to over 700<br />

Minneapolis homeowners<br />

Over $546,145.00 in deliquent<br />

payments modified!<br />

“They are a sign that things are slowly changing <strong>for</strong> the better,” she said.<br />

As the pace of <strong>for</strong>eclosures in the urban core starts to slow, <strong>Habitat</strong>’s Mortgage<br />

Foreclosure Prevention Program is developing ways to increase the breadth and depth<br />

of its services to include financial literacy, homebuyer workshops, and more.<br />

As Peterson puts it, “Each <strong>for</strong>eclosure we help prevent is energizing. There’s nothing<br />

quite like empowering someone to save their home.”<br />

Homeowner Story: Molly<br />

Months of searching <strong>for</strong> a home had worn Molly down. Each house she and her husband<br />

visited told its own story; too costly, unsafe neighborhood, run-down, no park nearby.<br />

“Then we found this absolute gem of a place in South Minneapolis,” exclaimed Molly.<br />

The couple closed on the property in December of 2005.<br />

Un<strong>for</strong>tunately within a few months of the purchase Molly and her husband divorced,<br />

leaving her with full responsibility <strong>for</strong> the mortgage. It didn’t take long <strong>for</strong> the luster of<br />

being a homeowner to wear off.<br />

Searching <strong>for</strong> answers she sought out a friend who worked in banking. With his assistance<br />

she was able to negotiate a new mortgage with fixed payments <strong>for</strong> the next three years.<br />

Our program provided<br />

the first steps toward<br />

her living a healthier life<br />

But nothing could have prepared Molly <strong>for</strong> what<br />

the next few weeks would bring. Within just four<br />

days she signed her final divorce papers and was<br />

diagnosed with breast cancer. For the first time<br />

in Molly’s life she was <strong>for</strong>ced to lean on others <strong>for</strong><br />

support. Recovering from a double-mastectomy, she<br />

moved back home with her parents and was out of<br />

work <strong>for</strong> months.<br />

Even as she coped with these un<strong>for</strong>tunate conditions, Molly reached out to her mortgage<br />

company to be sure they were aware of her situation. Despite these attempts her calls<br />

were seldom returned.<br />

“No one would talk to me. I couldn’t get a consistent person, let alone consistent<br />

answers,” said Molly. “I returned to work as soon as I could and made a double-payment<br />

in December so that I wouldn’t be more than three months behind on my mortgage<br />

and move into <strong>for</strong>eclosure. “<br />

With her options limited, a delinquency letter from the mortgage company proved to<br />

be pivotal. The letter described <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong>’s Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention<br />

Program which offers free counseling to those in need. Molly made the call immediately<br />

and a counselor was assigned to her. That’s when Molly started to notice a change.<br />

“The counselors were able to talk with people at [the mortgage company] that I couldn’t<br />

get through to, and they were able to get answers I never could,” said Molly. “Having<br />

someone to advocate on my behalf with the mortgage company and to navigate me<br />

through the process is what made all the difference. It’s what kept me in my home.”<br />

With her counselor’s help Molly was able to modify her loan this past Spring, bringing<br />

her primary mortgage to five percent. Program Manager Cheryl Petersen saw first<br />

hand the struggle Molly had to endure and was impressed with her commitment to<br />

being a part of the solution.<br />

“Our success is directly linked to how hard homeowners are willing to work to save<br />

their homes,” said Cheryl. “By helping Molly regain control of her mortgage, our<br />

program provided the first steps toward her living a healthier life.<br />

{ 14 } { 15 }<br />

business.


Housing Matters! Program<br />

This past year, <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> launched Housing Matters!, an educational program<br />

designed to engage volunteers, supporters and the general public in exploring what it will<br />

take to create a <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> region where everyone has a decent, af<strong>for</strong>dable place to live.<br />

“The need <strong>for</strong> af<strong>for</strong>dable housing is enormous and far greater than we at <strong>Habitat</strong> can<br />

address alone,” said Susan Haigh, President of <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Humanity</strong>. “Our<br />

advocacy work and awareness campaign have to be about more than <strong>Habitat</strong> homes and<br />

home ownership. We are one vital part of a larger housing continuum, but our region<br />

also needs more emergency shelter beds, rental housing, and af<strong>for</strong>dable homeownership<br />

<strong>for</strong> working families. <strong>Habitat</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Humanity</strong> supporters can help influence the public<br />

will to make a greater investment in these needed housing solutions, too.”<br />

Little by little, each step<br />

we take can add up to an<br />

enormous impact.<br />

As a part of Housing Matters! <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong><br />

added a new feature to the construction volunteer<br />

experience last Spring called Build. Think. Act!,<br />

where volunteers participate in small group<br />

discussions to get them thinking and talking<br />

with each other about housing and a variety of<br />

community solutions.<br />

Activities address five key housing questions: Who can’t af<strong>for</strong>d housing at current<br />

prices? Why is it important that everyone in our community has a decent af<strong>for</strong>dable<br />

place to call home? What does the solution look like? Where is af<strong>for</strong>dable housing<br />

needed and what factors determine where it can be created? How do we make sure<br />

everyone has access to decent housing that is af<strong>for</strong>dable?<br />

Once the final curriculum was in place, the true test was taking it to long term <strong>Habitat</strong><br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>Humanity</strong> supporters. John Winters heads up 3M C.A.R.E.S., a year-round regular<br />

volunteer crew of retired 3M engineers that’s worked with <strong>Habitat</strong> since the early 90’s.<br />

“Our volunteers initially said, ah, geez, we have to go to a lecture, or go to class,” said<br />

Winters. “But they really got into it. We know about building houses, but we didn’t<br />

really know about the need that exists in our community.”<br />

“The take home message <strong>for</strong> most of us was that there are many respectable occupations<br />

that cannot af<strong>for</strong>d a decent home,” said Winters. “When we were a young couple, my<br />

wife worked, but she didn’t have to in order to support the family. My income was<br />

sufficient. But that’s not the case today — <strong>for</strong> most families, there has to be a double<br />

income to af<strong>for</strong>d decent housing — and sometimes even that isn’t enough.”<br />

Volunteers use knot-tying as a metaphor <strong>for</strong><br />

how housing affects a community at every level.<br />

Housing Matters!<br />

was funded in part<br />

by a grant from the<br />

McKnight Foundation.<br />

Housing Matters! is part of a larger comprehensive communications and community<br />

relations ef<strong>for</strong>t. Issues-based newsletter stories, media relations and news coverage,<br />

government relations, coalition building and grassroots community outreach have<br />

all laid further groundwork <strong>for</strong> bringing housing issues front and center in the <strong>Twin</strong><br />

<strong>Cities</strong> community.<br />

“Influencing the public will doesn’t happen over night,” said Haigh. “But little by little,<br />

each step we take can add up to an enormous impact.”<br />

F inancials <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> engages over 20,000 volunteers each year..<br />

<strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> brings people together to create and preserve homeownership in<br />

our neighborhoods, to partner with hard-working, low-income families to be successful<br />

homeowners, and to inspire action that promotes af<strong>for</strong>dable housing <strong>for</strong> everyone in our<br />

community. The use of resources can be broken down into four areas:<br />

Creating Local and International Homeownership<br />

We build or renovate homes, utilizing volunteer labor, donated materials, and contributed<br />

funds. The homes are sold to pre-qualified, low-income families, who are selected based<br />

on their need, ability to repay the <strong>Habitat</strong> mortgage, and willingness to partner by<br />

helping to build their home and by learning how to be a successful homeowner. We also<br />

tithe a portion of our general donations to <strong>Habitat</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Humanity</strong> International <strong>for</strong> use<br />

in building homes outside the United States. We partnered with 50 <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> families<br />

and 50 families in other countries to build <strong>Habitat</strong> homes.<br />

Financing Homeownership<br />

Our homes are sold to qualified family partners at cost, with zero percent interest<br />

mortgages. Monthly mortgage payments collected by <strong>Twin</strong> Cites <strong>Habitat</strong> are added<br />

to the donation resources used <strong>for</strong> building additional homes <strong>for</strong> families in need.<br />

We serviced over 560 home mortgages in our portfolio.<br />

Preserving Homeownership<br />

We work with homeowners who need help staying in their home. Our A Brush With<br />

Kindness program uses volunteer labor to help low-income homeowners repair<br />

and maintain their homes. Our Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention program provides<br />

counseling services to any Minneapolis homeowner in danger of losing their home<br />

to <strong>for</strong>eclosure. We partnered with 100 low-income families to repair their homes and<br />

provided counseling to over 700 Minneapolis families at risk of <strong>for</strong>eclosure.<br />

Community Engagement<br />

Our Inspire Action initiative runs throughout the activities of the organization. The<br />

goals of this program include mobilizing volunteers, educating the public about housing<br />

issues, and advocating <strong>for</strong> public policy that supports af<strong>for</strong>dable housing <strong>for</strong> everyone in<br />

our community. We partnered with over 20,000 volunteers in support of our mission<br />

and we launched our Build. Think. Act! on-site educational program.<br />

<strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong><br />

families have six<br />

members in the<br />

household, on average.<br />
