Dominium and Twin Cities Habitat build a home and a partnership

In its first year of home sponsorship, Dominium is providing $50,000 and 100 volunteers to support the building of a Habitat home.

"It's exciting to kick off Dominium's first Twin Cities Habitat home sponsorship and to grow this partnership between two organizations that play big roles in the local housing arena," said Chris Coleman, President and CEO of Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity. "Dominium's support of safe, affordable homeownership will impact a family's health, education, economic prosperity, and quality of life for this generation and the next."

"At Dominium we have seen the impact of the affordable housing crisis in community after community, around the country," said Paul Sween, Managing Partner for Dominium. "That's why we are so excited to partner with Habitat for Humanity to create a culture within communities that supports affordable homes. We are proud to join the more than 15,000 volunteers who support Habitat's work every year."

Dominium and Habitat are working together to build the four-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath home in the Jordan neighborhood, an area which was hit hard by both the foreclosure crisis and the 2011 tornado that ripped through North Minneapolis. Twin Cities Habitat has partnered with residents and community groups for years to help revitalize the neighborhood.

Dominium’s sponsorship contributes to Twin Cities Habitat’s Impact 2020 strategic plan to more than double Habitat homeownership opportunities over the coming years.
