Housing First Minnesota Foundation

Community build projects-housing for heroes the Foundation funded four community build projects with build partner lennar for the Minnesota assistance council for veterans (macv) to serve as supportive Housing for veterans and their families experiencing homelessness. These new construction four-bedroom homes located in north minneapolis will provide Housing for approximately 40 veterans on an annual basis. Each project includes an accessory dwelling unit to provide added Housing flexibility and maximize use of the lot. Macv owns these properties and provides veterans with case management, employment and legal services to help them regain confidence and self-sufficiency. These projects provided an additional 10,000 square feet of supportive Housing in the community. With participation of build and trade partners and funding from the Foundation of $500k macv significantly expanded Housing capacity for a fraction of the cost.
