Current Opportunities
Looking to understand the realities of living in substandard housing or of being homeless in the Twin Cities? Feeling called to fight poverty and wondering “What can I do?” Want to do something meaningful this spring and get-away from the usual routine? Then this Habitat Immersion Retreat is for you.
State Legislators may know the good work that Habitat for Humanity affiliates accomplish across the state. However, many may not know how State funding supports our work. Join the first ever Habitat on the Hill – Minnesota and visit your Legislator at the State Capitol during this advocacy event. We will remind Legislators that success starts at home, update them on our work to build those homes and ask our Legislators to continue their support.
Highlights include legislative perspectives on what to expect in 2010; policy agendas and priorities from housing leaders; and a report on Minnesota housing trends.
St. Stephen's Street Outreach Team seeks volunteers interested in working with homeless single adults to assist in surveying individuals at indoor sites (meal sites, drop-in centers, etc) on Thursday, January 28, 2010 between 7am and 8pm.
