Closing the year with gratitude: Thank you for making 2023 a success! 

From adding new staff to telling our story –here’s a look at the opportunities we’ve created together this year at Model Cities

We’ve delivered programs and workshops 

Economic Services bloomed in 2023! Promoting financial wellness, business development and access to homeownership for more BIPOC homebuyers–including seeing more potential homebuyers moving from counseling services to securing mortgages!

We’ve strengthened partnerships

Working with organizations like Neighborhood Development Center, Saint Paul Promise, Rondo Community Land Trust (and more) to offer Black and Latinx neighbors support with financial wellness and the full range of our services & programs.

We’ve supported greater investment for Minnesotans

As part of the Bring It Home, Home Ownership Minnesota (HOM) and SHARE Coalitions we helped score big wins at the legislature this year with 1.3B in increased investment in housing  for all Minnesotans!
…
Each of these milestones is helping to shape a future where we all win! Help us end the year strong by making a gift to support our work. Gifts made by December 31st count as charitable deductions for the current tax year.  

Reminder: Make your year-end gift to Model Cities
