SUMMARY:Lydia Expansion Grand Opening - 10/11/22
DESCRIPTION:In 2003\, Beacon’s very first development\, Lydia Apartments\, opened near the corner of Franklin and Lasalle in Minneapolis. The process to get to that moment was not easy. Plymouth Congregational Church found their Sunday morning services picketed for a year and Beacon won a lawsuit that went to the Minnesota Court of Appeals. More than 220 residents have lived at Lydia Apartments over the past years\, an important step in breaking the cycle of chronic homelessness. When we announced our plan to renovate and expand Lydia Apartments in 2016\, the neighborhood supported us because the well-maintained and well-managed Lydia Apartments had become an important part of the neighborhood.  \nJoin us on October 11th to celebrate the completion of that expansion to hear stories of lives touched through the homes at Lydia\, words from elected officials and Beacon’s President & CEO Lee Blons\, and a short tour of the expansion. At the time of this invite\, we have confirmed that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey\, Minnesota Housing Commissioner Jennifer Ho\, and Hennepin County Commissioner Marion Greene are planning to attend the event.  \nWe are grateful to Flannery Construction for sponsoring this event. Refreshments will be served.   \nLocation:\n1920 Lasalle Ave S\nMinneapolis\, MN 55403  \nEvent Details:\n12:00 – Gathering and refreshments\n12:15 – Program\nTours to follow the program  \nYour early RSVP is appreciated so we can plan for the number of guests that will join us.  \nRSVP using the form below:

SUMMARY:Rent is Due: Day of Action - 11/1/22
DESCRIPTION:Our vision is that all people have a home.

We cannot let this happen\, and home is the solution. \nWe need Bring it Home\, Minnesota\, a rent support program that will allow all low-income Minnesotans the security and reassurance of home. \nOn Tuesday\, November 1\, join us on Zoom at 8:30 a.m. for a thirty-minute update meeting\, where we will learn more about the growing crisis\, and reflect on how to take action together. This meeting will have Closed Captions available. \nPlease register below to let us know you will participate and to receive further instructions on how to access the meeting.
