First-Time Homebuyer $10K Giveaway

Owning a home provides stability and brings better emotional and physical health, strong community engagement, and better educational outcomes. There is no greater creator of generational wealth than homeownership.

Homeownership is all of it, but it is not attainable for everyone.

For so many Minnesotans, the prospect of owning a home is tantalizingly close and within their means, but day-to-day expenses prevent them from saving enough to secure that initial down payment. Their dream of homeownership is just out of reach.

Research shows that nearly 110,000 Minnesota families are less than $10,000 away from becoming homeowners. To help these hard-working Minnesotans buy their very first home, Housing First Minnesota is launching the Parade of Homes First-Time Homebuyer $10K Giveaway, and we are seeking your support. You can make a difference in the lives of these everyday Minnesotans by contributing one or more down payments. Your generosity can ensure their housing security and give them the foundation they need to soar.

We have a vision at Housing First Minnesota that all who wish to own a home in our state should have the opportunity to do so. We’re committed to providing the opportunity for homeownership for everyone, everywhere in our state. We ask you to join the movement to grow homeownership opportunities.
