Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative

Housing development: beacon is among the leading developers of deeply affordable, supportive housing in the twin cities metro area. Beacon's unique collaborative model activates the energy, resources and leadership of congregations to create housing. We leverage private contributions to secure additional public funding and capital commitments and have developed over 800 homes at 26 properties to date. Beacon has over 200 homes in various stages of development at seven locations across the twin cities metro.

Policy: when all people have access to stable housing, our communities are stronger and healthier. As a collaborative of congregations beacon works for transform public policy so that all people have a home. We galvanize individual advocates, faith communities and peer organizations towards policy solutions at the local and state level to unlock more resources for supportive housing. Beacon advocates have been the catalyst to big policy victories like passing a metro wide sales tax for housing, creating the new state rental assistance program, bring it home, minnesota, and expanding local investments for supportive housing in hennepin county and the city of minneapolis.
