About the Minnesota Homeownership Center

Our Work: Four Core Pillars

• Champion Homeownership: We advocate for inclusive homeownership policies and funding at all levels of government.

• Build Ecosystems: We bring people together to build a stronger network of professionals and partners, including developing best practice and resource materials. Through shared learning, collaboration and aligned strategies, we help the homeownership system better serve those navigating it.

• Empower Homebuyers and Homeowners: We create and update homebuyer education curricula that support people, wherever they are in their homeownership journey. We’re a onestop referral source to financial wellness, homebuyer readiness and foreclosure prevention advising.

• Support Homeownership Advisors Network: We provide the tools and support our Network needs in order to deliver effective services. This includes:
  – Certification and continuing education to ensure high-quality, consistent service delivery statewide.
  – Leading pilot programs and securing funding to test new ideas and strengthen the field.
  – Maintaining an outcomes-based software system, which tracks programmatic impact.
