Why Habitat is Needed
Ninety-five million people in the United States-one-third of the nation-have housing problems, including lack of affordability, overcrowding, unsafe conditions, and homelessness.
In the Twin Cities metro area, more than half a million people, or more than 20 percent of the population, spend too much of their income on their housing. And the problem is growing faster in Minnesota than in any other state. This creates tremendous instability in our communities, weakens our economy, and even impacts our health and educational success.
In the Twin Cities, nearly half of the families with incomes under $35,000 are paying more than they can afford for housing, not leaving enough for other necessities like good nutrition, health care, transportation, education or saving for the future.

Housing is important to the quality of life, health and economic prosperity of the entire community
Health
Inadequate housing impacts health, especially the health of children. After moving into Habitat homes, asthma and allergies are two conditions that dramatically improve in children.
Economic Prosperity
A healthy housing market attracts businesses that depend on a range of housing options for their employees.
