In partnership with NeighborWorks America, we are celebrating NeighborWorks Weeks alongside nearly 250 similar organizations nationwide. This year’s theme is “Creating Homes, Building America”— and we’re doing just that.
MMCDC’s programs help residents to achieve financial and housing stability, communities to revitalize aging neighborhoods, and small businesses to create jobs and tax base where they are most needed, she added. MMCDC has served West Central and Northwest Minnesota and the Upper Midwest for 55 years.
NeighborWorks Weeks is a national celebration and recognition of network members across all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Tribal lands that promote housing stability, financial capability and community investment.
NeighborWorks Weeks was first established in 1983 by a U.S. congressional resolution co-sponsored by nearly 250 members of Congress and signed by President Ronald Reagan, recognizing the importance of community-based housing and neighborhood development.
NeighborWorks America has nearly 50 years of impact. Chartered by Congress in 1978, NeighborWorks America provides grants, training and partnerships to its network members to help create safe, affordable housing and promote community well-being.
