SAHI

The Shoreview Area Housing Initiative (SAHI) is a not-for-profit organization with a goal to create, improve and preserve housing opportunities to single-headed families.  SAHI buys and renovates distressed homes in the Mounds View and White Bear Lake school districts. After renovations are complete, we rent the home to a single parent with school age children.  Rent is set at 30% of the tenant's income.

 

Research shows that stable and affordable housing, combined with strong schools,  greatly increase chances for life long success.

 The Benefits: A Win / Win Situation 

 

For Families

  • Families will have stable housing in a premier city with great schools, abundant parks and lakes, adequate public transportation and a strong employment base.
  • Children will have the opportunity to attend quality schools and build a foundation for future success.

 

For the Community

  • We purchase distressed homes which are in need of minor or significant repair.  We then renovate and maintain the homes to the quality level Shoreview residents expect.
  • We make home renovations that are as earth-friendly as possible, both to be environmentally responsible and to keep energy costs low.
