Habitat for Humanity Key Facts

Affordable Housing
In the United States 95 million people, 1/3 of the nation, have housing problems including lack of affordability, overcrowding, unsafe conditions, and homelessness.

In the Twin Cities metro area alone, over half a million people, or more than 20% of the population, are having to spend too much of their income on their housing — not leaving enough for other necessities like good nutrition, health care, transportation, advancing education or saving for the future. And the problem is growing faster in Minnesota than in any other state. This creates tremendous instability in our families, weakens our economy, and even impacts our health and ducational success.
