At the Family Housing Fund, we believe building a better Minnesota starts from the ground up- it starts with a place to call home. And it requires all of us, working together, to build a strong housing system that supports access to decent, affordable housing for everyone. When families have a decent, affordable place to call home, they have opportunities to build their own success stories and contribute to their communities. Established in 1980, the Family Housing Fund supports the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, the Metropolitan Council, and Minnesota Housing in their efforts to meet the region’s affordable housing needs. Originally created by The McKnight Foundation and the cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, the Fund serves the entire Twin Cities seven-county metropolitan area. We work in a field with many peers, allies, and collaborative partners. We believe Family Housing Fund is different in three specific ways: 1) Big picture: our breadth in perspective and relationships throughout the Twin Cities region gives us an unmatched view of the housing system. 2) Bold influence: We use flexible organizational resrouces to convert new ideas into solutions that benefit families by identifying and exploring emerging issues, piloting market interventions, and embedding interventions for systems change. 3) Balanced perspective: We support all types of affordable housing and value everyone working on housing solutions. Our knowledge of housing-related markets and public policies lead to authentic and practical relationships. Our Goals: 1) Increase Supply- preserve and produce more units more cost effectively. 2) Expand Opportunities- ensure low- and moderate-income families have greater access to opportunities to live in healthy, affordable homes. 3) Activate Champions- establish a bench of housing champions to take coordinated actions toward housing solutions.
