ROSEVILLE, MINN. (Sept. 2020) — This fall, the public has an opportunity to help area families in need when they visit two Remodeled Dream Homes during the Parade of Homes Remodelers Showcase Oct. 2-4. When visitors tour these beautifully remodeled homes, they are asked for a tax-deductible $5 admission at the door, which supports work of the Housing First Minnesota Foundation, the charitable arm of Housing First Minnesota. The Foundation builds, remodels and repairs homes for Twin Cities veterans and families in need, often in partnership with local charities and organizations.
The thousands of people who contribute $5 to tour the Dream Remodeled Homes during the Remodelers Showcase (as well as the Dream Homes on the Parade of Homes tour) are a major source of funds for the Foundation.
This fall’s two Remodeled Dream Homes are:
