That is 20 years of rebuilding neighborhoods, reconnecting people, and reclaiming hope throughout the Twin Cities. 20 years of moments and stories have shaped who we are today. Take a look at our past and dive into what these historical moments shaped for us in 2014.

Listening to the community voices for that first project has guided the way Urban Homeworks continues to think about projects and programs 20 years later.

RENTAL EVOLUTION

By Jessica Mueller After making announcements at a gathering for UHW rental residents, our team shared, “We read a report that said a major benchmark for healthy communities is when rental residents stay for 2 years. Urban Homeworks residents stay, on average, more than three years. YOU are what is healthy about our community!” A cheer rang out and Shania added, “We need to do more of this!”

This meeting, where the purpose is to cover logistics, felt unlike most. As a former renter elsewhere, I remember getting fliers for mandatory meetings, then going and leaving ASAP. But, as an UHW team member, I witnessed what happens when housing is used as a tool to build relationships and thriving communities. This meeting was a family reunion. It was filled with kids stuffing their faces with Cheetos, long-time friends, and neighbors that had become mentors. It was filled with people that rushed toward their ‘landlord’ for a hug, and lingered afterwards just to get a few more minutes together.

Thank you for building healthy communities and making it possible for us to do more!

It started as four women living together exploring what it looked like to love your neighbor and explore the power of proximity. From informal meetings on a duplex’s upper level living room floor in 1997, to gatherings with local leadership and formal curriculum today, our Urban Neighbor community (now over 500) has been plugging into opportunities to understand and perpetuate the hope of Christ in their communities.

WHERE WE’VE BEEN

WHERE WE ARE TODAY

3105 Columbus was labeled a “problem house” by church members. Their voices planted the seed for change and innovation that grew into Urban Homeworks.

Code and architecture dictated that the project be kept a duplex, informing the decision to offer scattered site rental opportunities.

URBAN NEIGHBORS To see two young men plugging in and giving back… interacting with neighbors, volunteering, creating a new definition of “cool” for our kids…it’s huge.

Interns at Shiloh Baptist, seminarians, and Urban Neighbors, Prescott (pictured above) and Julian, have become powerful influences on their block – especially for the kids that live in the unit below.

As two of 47 young professionals living as Urban Neighbors, every interaction (heading to class, giving drum lessons) has become an opportunity to exemplify true relationship and affirm the dignity of their neighbors.

Stability is a key component in the Urban Homeworks model. Knowing and trusting your neighbors requires longevity in your living situation. For many of our residents, they stay for years, often moving from rental to home ownership opportunities. With 15 years of stability on Chicago Avenue, Kenny Daniels is one exemplary example of a neighbor the community can count on.

It started as a men’s group from Christ Presbyterian Church who volunteered on site quarterly. They ramped up to monthly and then, weekly, eventually morphing into the, now Urban Homeworks staple volunteer group, Quicksilvers.

One house, one apartment at a time we are making a difference and improving the lives of others.

One Sunday, Volunteer Manager, Cody Menning, met the son of one of our hardworking Quicksilvers, a group of (mostly) retired weekly volunteers. Cody told the man’s son how much we appreciate his father and the countless hours of labor he pours into homes week after week, but was interrupted. The son told him that it was Urban Homeworks who needed to be thanked.

He credits the Quicksilver Crew with keeping his 80 year old father alive and active. His father takes on each day with a condition that’s caused tremors and loss of memory. Even so, he looks forward to faithfully swinging a hammer twice a week.

These moments with volunteers are not just about building homes; they’re about building perspective, building purpose, and building a community of hope.

I find myself “refreshed” and impressed how they creatively approach challenging issues in their target communities.

When it came to the rebuilding process, it became apparent early on that there was room to be creative. We were already utilizing volunteers to help us reclaim homes, but in 2005, we saw the need for skills training and partnered with Women Ventures to use our construction sites as classrooms. Partner programs have been added and the number of trainees has jumped from 30 to over 150 annually contributing to the redemptive development of real estate. Now, whether through Trainees, UC2, or local contractors, our neighbors are moving into homes that have created jobs and been rebuilt by the hands of their own neighbors.

Now the lights are back on, my family has food, and my friends look as me as a role model. This job is a great accomplishment for me. Before I felt like I had nothing to lose. But here I see that this is more than a job experience, it is a life experience. The people at Urban Homeworks are humble and come from all sorts of backgrounds. I don’t have to be aggressive anymore. No one is looking to get me in trouble either. The way I was going was either jail or dead… UC2 was the best opportunity of my life.

-Bernard Flowers

2014 marked the 8th Annual Haulin’ it Home Grain Drive and a cumulative $542,614 raised from farmers donating the fruits of their labor.

After joyously embarking on the development of Lovell Square, a new POD in North Minneapolis, a tornado devastated the community, damaging nearly 3,500 homes as it cut a path through the northside. But, the community rallied. Urban Homeworks became the volunteer leaders for the city and oversaw more than 3,000 individual volunteers who helped rescue and rebuild.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT It would have been every parents’ worst nightmare. In May, John (UHW resident), watched a man drive down the street from the corner of his eye. John’s 5 and 11 year old neighbors were playing in the front yard, and he knew this man was not a father or friend. When he saw the man lure the boys into his car and drive away, John took action.

As a neighbor in North Minneapolis I have the privilege to live near many of Urban Homework’s houses.

While a search party formed in their POD and the police were notified, John and another UHW resident ran after the vehicle. Within minutes they found the man and the two boys – clutching the dollars used to lure them into the car - hiding only blocks away from the POD. The neighbors were able to reunite the boys with their parents… demonstrating the power of connectivity.

This is what we are in the business of building on our blocks and in our PODs…using housing stability and relationships as a tool to bring back the neighborhoods we love. It is an unbelievably strong means to an incredible end. It is the neighbor that can identify a stranger on the block because he knows his neighbors and cares enough to act.

2014 Lovell Square POD Barbecue. 3 years after the Together, we are creating space for hope to dispel City of Minneapolis asked Urban Homeworks to step in and save 18 units of housing from destruction, Lovell fear…thank you.

Square is a robust POD with homeownership, rental, and Urban Neighbor housing.

I am blessed to work in the same neighborhood where I was once part of the problem— to now be part of the solution, to give back, and lead by example.

I could talk all day about changing lives, but it’s much better to show people.

2014 might go down in my mind as the year of the “Over-ArchingGoal”. Just in time, too. UHW has been concrete on values, level and plumb on mission, and in 2014, we now have a blueprint depicting our long-term goal: By 2025, will be building power with 1,000 of our neighbors by organizing ourselves, our resources, our real estate, and our relationships.

Power defined as the ability to effect positive change.

HOMEOWNERSHIP

By Taya Morgan I grew up in a stable and controlled environment. My dad was a military man and I was regulated by his rules. He would spend evenings out binging while I took care of my siblings. It was a strict schedule that benefited his habits.

As a young adult, I was working full time, going to college, and taking care of my younger siblings. One day, I was late coming home, which sparked something in my father. He felt he was losing control of me and ultimately, lost control of his own actions, acting as the bittersweet catalyst for the next phase of my life.

I moved out on my own and quickly lost my job, got evicted from where I was living, and ended up homeless, living out of my car. I even ended up squatting for a period of time, living in boarded up, foreclosed homes. This was not the life I wanted. I wanted to be married, have children, own a home, and get a degree. I wanted the “American Dream”.

So, I got a job, found an apartment, and was able to get my husband to Minneapolis from Jamaica. We continued to rent and had our two children, Jamar and Courtney. But our rental home wasn’t safe. Then, I heard about Urban Homeworks.

We became UHW residents and started working on improving our credit score and reducing debt. After renting for 2 years, my husband and I purchased a home through Urban Homeworks’ PROJECT: Reclaim program.

My children are growing up in a house we own, and they take pride in that. They have the stability I didn’t have - they have childhood friendships that will grow for years because we aren’t going anywhere. Owning a home has given me the backbone and confidence to have a voice in the community. I am a member of the Urban Homeworks POD Council and am on the Parent Advisory Board for NAZ. I also hope to hold a Near North District Board Member seat.

My name is Taya Morgan and I am a proud wife, mother, neighbor, and homeowner in North Minneapolis.

This is our community, TOTAL HOMEOWNERS and together, we can HAVE INCREASED make it everything we THEIR CREDIT SCORE want.

It’s ‘just in time’ because it frames up beautifully how to observe, celebrate, and build upon the past 20 years as preparation for this next season.

For Africa to me ... is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.

- Maya Angelou In 2014 we got a lot done… and we decided on where we are going.

The past 20 years are ‘more than a glamorous fact’, and although not as deeply profound as Africa is to Angelou… where we’ve been brought us to where we are and frames where we go next. It’s time. Thank you for being a part of the past 20 years. Thank you for charging forward into the next. You are just in time…

In response to the foreclosure crisis that disproportionately affected North Minneapolis, Northside Home was developed as a partnership between Urban Homeworks and Project for Pride in Living as an additional pathway to homeownership.
