<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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Hard Hat & Black Tie Gala<br />
This past year’s Hard Hat & Black Tie Gala was the most successful fundraising event<br />
in <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Humanity</strong>’s history. The event saw record-setting attendance,<br />
and raised over $300,000 through corporate sponsorships, live and silent auctions, and<br />
generous donations from <strong>Habitat</strong> supporters. We are deeply grateful <strong>for</strong> the ef<strong>for</strong>ts of<br />
the <strong>Twin</strong> <strong>Cities</strong> <strong>Habitat</strong> Board of Directors and Hard Hat & Black Tie Committee in<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 />
