You’re Invited!

Please join the Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless for the first annual Spring Celebration event on Thursday May 17, 2012 from 4pm – 6pm to celebrate our new website, the bonding bill that invests in housing, and all of the supporters who make ending homelessness possible.

Light refreshments will be provided. RSVP and see details!

 

Bonding Bill Invests $35.5 million in Housing

Exactly two months after hundreds of supporters packed the Capitol for Homeless Day on the Hill  the legislature passed a bonding bill that includes $35.5 million for affordable housing/homelessness.

Bonds will be used to build and preserve affordable housing, rehabilitate public housing, and invest in supportive housing for homeless Minnesotans. An additional $2 million will be invested in the Tubman Center East. 

Your advocacy made housing a priority for legislators from both parties, from across the state. The $35.5 million investment will make a concrete difference in the lives of Minnesotans.

The need for housing stability has been elevated to new heights in our state government. Thank you for your advocacy, participation, and commitment to ending homelessness.

Thank You to The Nerdery

Welcome to our new website! A team of web developers (Team CodeX) donated  generous 240 hours to revamp the Minnesota Coalition for the Homeless website. Ten developers. Twenty four hours straight.  Brought together by The Nerdery.

We are thrilled to have the technology to better serve and communicate with:

• Minnesotans in need of housing
• Member organizations and
• Everyone ready to end homelessness in our state.

“MCH’s ultimate mission is to put themselves out of business.  Having a slick-as-a-whistle website will help them eradicate homelessness in Minnesota.”  - Marie
