Who We Are
Urban Homeworks' (UHW) mission is to lead the fight for housing justice so that people can have a safe, stable and dignified place to live. Guided by the vision "housing justice for all", UHW transforms condemned, underutilized, and neglected properties into safe, dignified rental or homeownership opportunities for low- to moderate-income-primarily BIPOC-households. Using housing as a platform to combat racial wealth gaps and create broader social change, UHW works to build community between neighbors, businesses, and contractors in South and North Minneapolis and the Frogtown Neighborhoods in St. Paul. By addressing the issues residents face inside and outside the home with community-centric care, UHW helps neighbors build the stable foundation needed to further overcome the barriers that perpetuate inequity and make their dreams a reality.
Why You'll Love Working Here
You will love working for a community-centered housing justice organization that proudly calls North Minneapolis home. You will be encouraged, challenged, and grow alongside colleagues who are making waves in Minnesota's housing ecosystem as we amplify and advocate for solutions coming from the community. And you'll enjoy the hybrid work model with open concept workspaces that facilitate collaboration, a sweet rooftop patio for rest and refreshment, and daily opportunities to work alongside neighbors, colleagues, politicians, and partners to create a world where no one is ever denied their basic human right for a stable home to live, thrive and love.
