ROSEVILLE, MINN. (Feb. 2021) — This spring, the public has an opportunity to help area families in need when they visit four Dream Homes during the Parade of Homes. When visitors tour these incredible 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 taps the talents and resources of the association’s member builders, remodelers, suppliers, and volunteers to support our communities by building and remodeling safe housing for Minnesotans in need.
Tickets to tour the four Dream Homes are available online at ParadeofHomes.org, in the Parade of Homes app and at the Dream Homes.
