Need to Know
We are excited to launch the Parade of Homes First-Time Homebuyer $10K Giveaway to help more Minnesotans achieve their dream of homeownership by directly helping buyers with that critical down payment. There is a growing group of Minnesotans who find the dream of affordable homeownership just out of reach. In fact, nearly 110,000 Minnesotans find themselves less than $10,000 short of owning their own home. 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.
How can I help?
You can make a difference in the lives of these everyday Minnesotans by contributing one or more down payments. Each commitment of $11,500 will result in a down payment of $10,000 to a first-time homebuyer.
