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.

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.
