Overview

Mission

Refugee housing mn exists to connect refugees and individuals in need with housing resources, support services, and education. Its activities are charitable and align with sections 170(c)(2)(b) and 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code. The organization provides financial assistance for rent and essential living expenses, supports clients in building rental histories, and helps overcome language and cultural barriers. It also connects individuals to healthcare, education, and employment resources to promote long-term self-sufficiency. Operating primarily in Minnesota, the organization conducts housing searches and provides case-by-case assistance to refugee communities.

What it reported doing in 2025

The main focus of refugee housing mn is to assist refugees and other newcomers with finding and keeping safe, sanitary and affordable housing. In fiscal 2025, we have worked with dozens of famillies helping them find and secure housing, avoid evictions from current housing, and connecting clients with resources to achieve self-sufficiency. We have been providing rental assistance to clients in need of help, and also providing support for basic needs by issuing gift cards for grocery purchases.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 97% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
