Introducing The Aragon—A celebration of Beacon's newest development
2024-08-01 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Chicago)
Join us on Thursday, August 1, at 7 p.m. as we celebrate the launch of The Aragon—a new development we’re proposing for St. Paul’s Conway neighborhood.

Currently, we envision The Aragon as providing around 50 affordable apartments with onsite supportive services. These services will help residents with everything from improving their mental health to finding gainful employment and much more.

As with all Beacon developments, the success of The Aragon’s development is contingent on the energy and support of community members like you.

So, join us to discover the details behind this unique development and learn how you can help make it a reality.

Rent is Due: Day of Action - 8/7/24
2024-08-07 08:30 - 09:00
As we work towards our vision for “all people to have a home,” we know that at the beginning of every month, over 200,000 households pay too much rent. Housing insecurity jeopardizes the health of individuals and families, drives the growing numbers of people experiencing homelessness, and increases the racial disparities already present.
We gather the first Wednesday of every month as Beacon advocates to change this reality. We are working to create rental assistance for all through Bring it Home, Minnesota, create new policies to make more deeply affordable supportive housing available, and other policies so all people have a home. During our 30-minute virtual meeting, you will hear updates on Bring it Home, Minnesota, and our other campaigns, hear from special guests or elected officials, and be given concrete actions to do.
Our goal is an efficient, clear meeting once a month for you to feel connected to the work and able to take impactful action. We have been holding this meeting successfully since June of 2020, and for these three years, people joining together to take action once a month have made a difference.
A Zoom meeting with Closed Captioning is available. Please register below to receive the link to join.
