Thank you for everything you make possible. Thank you for
the work you help us plan for, complete and celebrate.
THANK YOU for being a leader to provide this life-changing
foundation for families with Rice County Habitat for Humanity.
Rice County is the third most expensive place to live in Minnesota.
Why is this important?
When families are denied the personal and economic stability
that safe and affordable housing provides, they are forced to
make impossible choices. Safe home, nutritious food, health
care, access to good schools, reliable transportation… which
would you choose?
Housing instability — including frequent moves, overcrowding,
and the threat of eviction or foreclosure — creates stress,
depression and hopelessness for far too many families. Adults
living in housing that they struggle to afford often describe
themselves as less healthy, and the well-being and
development of millions of children is compromised by living in
insecure housing.
A decent and affordable place to live helps families by freeing
them from such physical and mental hardships and placing
them on a path of new opportunity and increased confidence
and self-reliance. A family’s partnership with Habitat means
they have a stable place to live and to spend time together. An
affordable mortgage means they have a chance to create
savings and invest in their education. A decent roof over their
heads establishes home as a place that protects — instead of
endangering — their health.
Habitat works with families to help them acquire the access,
skills and financial education necessary for them to be
successful homeowners. By partnering with us, families seize
the opportunity and possibility that decent, affordable housing
represents. Through shelter, we empower.
2022 Plans
We are building five new homes in Faribault! Specific lots
aren’t picked yet but look what we’ve done so far!
And we are excited to launch the Aging in Place program! We
were delighted to receive a $50,000 Live Well at Home grant
from the Department of Human Services. This will buy a
vehicle and subsidize projects.
What is a Summit?
Four times a year we’ll gather together for a meal and a program.
The program may be about budget preparation, doing some
visioning together, celebrating together, etc.
Location:
All meetings and Summits take place at Cornerstone Community
Church, 1313 South Division Street, Northfield, MN 55057.
We are hoping to meet in person!
But stay tuned!
