NeighborWorks Home Partners (NWHP) is a full-service Homeownership Center that helps families buy, fix, and keep their homes here in the Twin Cities and throughout the State of Minnesota. Our goal is to make homeownership accessible and sustainable for everyone. Over the last year alone, we worked with over 1,640 families and, through our programs, helped over 540 families achieve their dream of homeownership and over 45 families maintain this dream. This work resulted in over $197,000,000 of investment directly into our collective community. About the Board The Board of Directors provides strategic and fiduciary oversight to ensure NWHP is well-governed, financially sound, and mission-driven.
