Affordable Housing

As one of Unity’s Community Outreach Ministry Teams, the Affordable Housing Team, recognizing the inherent worth and dignity of every human being, seeks to hasten the day when every person has safe, affordable, quality housing regardless of class, zip code, race, ethnicity, gender identity, disability, or other category. Home is foundational to individual and collective health and well-being. 

Opportunities for Action

Habitat for Humanity Summer Build

Unity's Affordable Housing Team is co-sponsoring a Habitat for Humanity home construction work week once again, June 12-16, in Roseville. You're invited to help build a quality affordable home with us! You can volunteer for one day or multiple days. You don’t have to be an experienced carpenter to volunteer. If you’ve helped before, we hope you will again. If you haven’t, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn about home construction, and how Habitat contributes to stable housing in the community. Here are the details:

• Work week: Monday, June 12 - Friday, June 16
• Time: 8:30 a.m. -3:30 p.m. Wednesday will wrap up at 2:30!
• Location: 2574 Dunlap Street, Roseville, MN
• Build type: Home, renovation, work week #8
• Online registration and waiver (required for participation)
• Detailed directions about how to sign up
• Detailed Volunteer Guidelines
• COVID-19 Safety Guidelines
• Questions? Please contact Chuck Griggs at griggscb@msn.com

The Affordable Housing Team is an umbrella, including three teams focusing on housing justice public policy, development of deeply affordable housing, and providing direct service to persons who are unsheltered, homeless, struggling with unstable housing, and in transition. 
 
We partner with community agencies in each of these three areas. Collaborating with three partner organizations reflects the important needs of our community.
