The Fazendin Realtors Foundation has given out $24,000 worth of grants to five local nonprofit organizations: NorthPoint Health & Wellness Center, MoveFwd, Clare Housing, Ain Dah Yung Center, and Rebuilding Together Minnesota. These funds will help provide shelter, resources, and hope to individuals and families across the Twin Cities metro area who are experiencing housing insecurity.
The 2025 recipients were selected based on their strong local presence and direct impact on improving housing access in their communities. Each organization plays a critical role in addressing unique housing challenges.

Each of these organizations addresses housing insecurity from a different angle, but together, their efforts align to create strong, healthy communities where safe housing is a right, not a privilege.
