Who We Are
Our Mission
Neighbors for Neighbors stands up for secure, abundant homes for everyone in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota.
Our Vision
We envision a future where we all find secure, affordable homes in neighborhoods we choose.
Those neighborhoods may include great transit, a community where family and friends are neighbors, or complete neighborhoods with walkable errands and jobs.
As we move through our lives, we find smaller and larger homes as our needs change, while staying in communities we love. We imagine a day where this is true for everyone: owners and renters, and people of all ethnicities and income levels.
We Organize to…
Address our Housing Shortage
Create Complete Neighborhoods
Slow Climate Change
Our Values
We work for a region where everyone has a stable, humane place to live in the neighborhood they choose.
-
Policies are exclusionary when they allow wealthier, whiter neighborhoods to avoid contributing their fair share of homes.
Homes can be less expensive when they are smaller, share the cost of land with more households, the building form and use is flexible, or have less parking.
We value universal access to great education, reliable transit, complete neighborhoods, clean air and water, and safe streets.
