A Minnesota housing nonprofit that puts values into action

As a Minnesota housing nonprofit committed to housing justice, shared values guide our work every step of the way.
Every action we take—whether raising money for a new development or organizing around an issue at a local city hall—originates from the vision and values we share as a collaborative.

Our vision

All people have a home.

Our mission

As a collaborative of congregations united in action, we create homes and advance equitable housing.

We affirm

• All people are valuable and deserve respect.
• Our many faiths call us to act to create more equitable communities.
• All people have a right to a quality, affordable home.
• Quality affordable homes belong in all communities.
• Our society has the resources for all of us to have a home.
• Systemic racism causes housing inequities.
• Everyone will benefit when we all have homes.
• Stable homes transform lives and communities.

We value

Collaboration

We are more powerful when we work together.

Risk-taking 

We take personal, public, and financial risks in the fight for justice.

Race Equity

We are called to overcome the systemic racism that causes housing inequities.

Inclusive decision-making 

We make better decisions when we have diverse perspectives and backgrounds.

Discover what Beacon’s housing policy work looks like

Ensuring that all people have a home means building more homes. But we can’t stop there.

Did you know only one out of four qualifying Minnesotans receives a federal rental assistance voucher? We can’t build our way out of that problem. By investing our energy in Bring it Home, Minnesota, we’re advocating for a solution as big as the problem.

Discover the transformative power of supportive housing

Research proves that supportive housing is one of the most effective solutions to end homelessness and reduce housing insecurity. Safe, affordable, supportive housing creates a foundation for building individual and community stability, health, and well-being.
