Take Action Now!
Critical funding to build and preserve affordable housing is at risk of not passing this legislative session despite bi-partisan support. Encourage legislative leadership to pass Housing Infrastructure Bonds NOW.
You can use this script or find an e-mail link below.
Hi my name is [your name] and I live in [your county or city]. I am calling as a member of Homes for All.
We know that where we live impacts everything. We also know that we need more affordable and quality homes across the state. As an advocate for Homes for All, we strongly encourage you to pass critical bonding investments to preserve existing affordable housing and to create new homes. Please support the bi-partisan recommendations for $150 million in Housing Infrastructure Bonds to ensure homes for all Minnesotans.
Thank you!

Support Dave Wolf in the Habitat 500
|
|
Dave is riding 500 miles ON A BIKE to support Habitat! Won't you support him?
Now entering its 27th year, the Habitat 500 is a bicycle ride (not race) and fundraiser that covers up to 500 miles over the course of 6 days. Each rider raises funds from family, friends, businesses, and church groups and designates the Habitat for Humanity affiliates they wish to support (both locally and around the world). This ride is coordinated and hosted by Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota.

Schneider Electric is a longtime national partner and supporter of Habitat for Humanity and has donated more than $24 million worth of electrical equipment since 2000. In addition, the company has donated over $4 million in funding to help cover the cost of land, infrastructure and homebuilding materials and provided volunteer support for Habitat builds nationwide.
Locally, Schneider Electric donates about $1,500 PER HOUSE with electrical equipment.
And of course, none of this would mean anything if it weren't for our local IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers) who know how to install that great equipment!
What a great partnership!
