Find the Housing Help That’s Right for You
Habitat for Humanity partners with families in Goodhue County to build strength, stability, and self-reliance through housing. Whether you’re looking to buy your first home, repair the one you own, or connect with local resources, this is where to begin.
Homeownership
We partner with families who need safe, affordable housing. Homebuyers work alongside volunteers to build their home, invest sweat equity, attend homeownership classes, and purchase their home with an affordable mortgage.
HOPE Heights
Our largest project yet, HOPE Heights will bring 26 affordable homes to the former St. John’s Hospital site. This development is designed to be a safe, welcoming community where families can thrive.
Home Repair & Revitalization
Goodhue County Habitat offers critical home repairs, exterior improvements, and aging-in-place modifications that help families remain safe, healthy, and independent.
Homeowner Resources
From energy-efficiency rebates to home maintenance guides and community programs, we connect homeowners with practical tools and local support to help them succeed for years to come
Why Affordable Housing Matters
Access to affordable homeownership is a springboard for families to build intergenerational wealth and drives better economic, health and educational outcomes.
When families have a safe, affordable home, entire communities thrive. Homeownership builds strength, stability, and self-reliance for families — and in turn, strengthens neighborhoods and fuels our local economy.
In Goodhue County, new single-family homes average $371,175 — far beyond what many working families can afford.
45% of renters in our region are cost-burdened — paying more than 30% of their income on housing.
For every $1 invested in Habitat, $1.95 is returned to the local economy.
