Social Generosity Offering: February 2021

Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative is a collaborative of congregations (including UUCM) united in action to create homes and advance equitable housing. Beacon’s vision is that all people have a home, no exceptions.

On February 7, Craig Freeman, Beacon Community Connections Manager, joined us to share how Beacon Collaborative is building a movement of Minnesotans to achieve its vision that all people have a home and how you can join the movement.  His presentation shared the basics of Beacon’s work to create supportive homes and effect structural policy change with a focus on Bring it Home, Minnesota, legislation recently introduced in the State Legislature that would virtually end homelessness in Minnesota.
