The Minnesota Home Ownership Center promotes and
advances successful home ownership in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Home Ownership Center is the state's leading independent, non-profit provider of information and resources aimed at helping Minnesotans begin, and maintain, home ownership. While our services are open to anyone, the Center places an emphasis on supporting low- and moderate-income Minnesotans and those who often face barriers to home ownership.
Since 1993 we have worked to achieve our mission by empowering a network of more than 50 non-profit, public and tribal organizations to provide education and counseling services to potential home buyer and home owners working to sustain their mortgage. We empower our network through:

Education

Our programs deliver nationally-recognized, high-quality education programs for home buyers, such as our Home Stretch Workshops and home owners. The Center also provides our programs with ongoing training and technical assistance to ensure quality program delivery. |

In addition, the Center conducts more than 2 dozen trainings every year for staff from these same organizations to improve their skills |

The Minnesota Home Ownership Center creates and implements statewide outreach initiatives aimed at increasing public awareness of, and access to, our partnerships and programs |

Through our efforts and partnerships, the Center has helped over 100,000 Minnesotans begin and sustain successful home ownership.
