This innovative program allows taxpayers to invest in affordable housing across the state, supporting housing for all Minnesotans while receiving a state tax credit certificate of 85% of their contribution. This program offers a unique avenue for funding affordable housing throughout the state. Eligible individuals and businesses can contribute between $1,000 and $2 million each tax year to qualify for this tax credit. Contributions can be designated to support specific qualifying projects or the general housing fund.

Habitat has two exciting projects eligible for funding, one in North Mankato and one in St Peter. To learn more about supporting local affordable housing initiatives and the new Minnesota State Housing Tax Credit Program and Contribution fund, visit habitatscmn.org. The tax credits provided through this program offer a unique opportunity for donors to maximize their contributions and make a lasting difference in our community.

Groundbreaking for Habitat’s She Nailed It Initiative is Good News for Affordable Homeownership in Nicollet

Community members and neighbors are invited to the Habitat for Humanity groundbreaking celebration!

Nicollet, MN— A Nicollet family of eight marks an important milestone in the construction of their new home, and the community is invited to join in the groundbreaking celebration on August 22, at 3:30 pm, at 700 Elwood Ct, Nicollet, MN.

Habitat’s annual She Nailed It builds will propel this build forward. She Nailed It is part of the Habitat for Humanity Women’s Build initiative to engage women in a passionate, positive environment building affordable homes that offer families strength and stability. Businesses interested in sponsoring this year’s women’s build are encouraged to habitatscmn.org.

The Pot family will be the 5th Habitat family in Nicollet. Habitat for Humanity is a hand-up, not a handout. Families and individuals needing a hand-up partner with Habitat for Humanity to build or improve a place they can call home. Habitat homeowners help build their own homes alongside volunteers and pay an affordable mortgage. Homeownership offers many benefits for families, communities, and local economies, and Habitat is excited to partner with the community of Nicollet to build more affordable homes.

Through financial support, volunteering, or adding a voice to support affordable housing, everyone can help families achieve the strength, stability, and self-reliance they need to build better lives for themselves.

About Habitat: Driven by the vision that everyone needs a decent place to live, Habitat for Humanity South Central Minnesota has built 145 homes and 630 individuals in Blue Earth, Sibley, Watonwan, Le Sueur, and Nicollet counties. Through shelter, we empower. Interested in donating or volunteering to support the Eagle Lake build? Visit habitatscmn.org.
