Beacon creates affordable homes and advances equitable housing in Minnesota

Beacon represents more than a housing nonprofit.

We represent a unified collaborative of congregations from multiple faith traditions, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Unitarian Universalism.

Regardless of our spiritual beliefs, each member of the Beacon collaborative shares a mission to change the landscape of home. Together, we advocate to create new, deeply affordable homes, invest in residents through wrap-around supportive services, and champion transformative policy solutions to ensure all people have a home.
