Urban Homeworks, Inc.

Urban Homeworks rebuilds neighborhoods, reconnects people, and reclaims hope through innovative community development that produces dignified housing for low-income families and a strategic network of good neighbors. Since 1995, the faith-based organization has rewoven the fabric of communities through a multi-faceted approach that combines housing, volunteer mobilization, construction training for community members, and a passionate group of young professionals living out their faith in Jesus in disadvantaged neighborhoods of Minneapolis and St. Paul. This powerful model of neighborhood transformation and stabilization has resulted in more than 200 redeveloped properties and a network of 20,000 volunteers, 1,200 construction trainees, and 375 Urban Neighbors who have lived in and served the community.
