Volunteer opportunities

Alliance Housing is a proud member of Hands on Twin Cities which helps match and coordinate individual and corporate volunteers to our work: http://www.handsontwincities.org/. Volunteer opportunities are limited due to Alliance ‘s relatively small staff and ability to manage a meaningful experience that provides value to Alliance’s work and the volunteer. Potential volunteer opportunities have included:

Joining Alliance’s Board of Directors or one of its working commmittees.

If you are interested in any of these opportunities, please call or email Barbara Jeanetta at 612-879-7633 or bjeanetta@alliancehousinginc.org. Our volunteer opportunities are also posted on the Hands on Twin Cities website: http://www.handsontwincities.org

Events

Please save the date and plan on joining Alliance Housing’s staff, board, friends and colleagues for our annual Alliance Housing Fundraising Breakfast on Thursday, September 26, 2019 at the Town & Country Club in St. Paul. Our tenant speakers are always the highlight. Catch up on our successes and plans. Our guests have always responded generously to our request for support.

Our annual report allows us to acknowledge all of our generous donors and reflect on our accomplishments of the past year. This year we claim our role in “anchoring affordability” in Minneapolis neighborhoods. Low wage workers and people on a fixed income are increasingly being priced out of the rental housing market. Chaz, Tamika and others comment on the link between affordability and stability.

Please hold Thursday, October 17th on your calendar. Alliance Housing, the Hennepin History Museum and Plymouth Congregational Church are hosting Richard Rothstein for an evening presentation. “The Color of Law” describes how racial discrimination is baked into many of our housing, employment and public benefit systems. Change to get to true equity will take structural dismantling as well as behavior changes.
