Home Ownership CenterHome Ownership Center


The Minnesota Homeownership Center was created in 1993 by a collaboration of organizations concerned about making homeownership affordable and sustainable for an extended range of Minnesotans.  The diversity of this collaboration - housing non-profit organizations, Realtors, mortgage finance agencies, local governments and other interests - is still represented in the diversity of the Center's board.
