In the 1990s, many region-wide agencies collaborated to focus on the housing crisis in which they joined forces to create the Housing Solutions Network. Stakeholders such as Habitat for Humanity International, Goodwill Industries International, Networks Northwest, and Northwest Michigan Community Action Agency hoped this collaboration would address barriers to affordable housing options. A new organization was needed. This independent nonprofit would be very focused on addressing the systemic problems with zoning laws, development financing, and public-private partnerships. If these barriers could be removed, a new and strong foundation could be built, one that would serve as a stabilizing force for a healthier, more sustainable, thriving Northwest Michigan. 🏡 In 2018, Housing North was born. This is why ✨50th Fun Fact ✨ is...... We incubated Housing North and spun it off into the nonprofit organization it is now.

We’re pleased to share a new impact report for the East Metro Main Street Economic Revitalization Program, which supported 42 Saint Paul nonprofits and businesses that faced immense challenges the past four years due to the pandemic, civil unrest and other obstacles. With support from Mardag Foundation and other funding partners, the Saint Paul & Minnesota Foundation and the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development granted $3.7 million to nonprofits and $3.3 million to businesses in the Snelling-University-Rice Cultural District, the East Side community and along West Seventh Street in Saint Paul. 100% of the funded projects serve communities that have been historically under- and dis-invested by traditional funding, and 85% of the projects are owned or led by people of color. We’re proud to have been a partner in this program and support the vitality of East Metro communities.
