2025 Impact Report

​Looking back on 2025, it was a year of contrasts. On the one hand, we made significant progress on several real estate development projects that had been in our pipeline for some time. It was inspiring to see these projects coming to fruition because they all help address critical housing and community development needs in the Lakes Region.
 
On the other hand, it was disheartening to witness big policy changes in a variety of social safety net programs, including food assistance and Medicaid. These critical programs support the well-being of working families, seniors, and people with disabilities in our community. Most of the tenants who live in our apartments fall into one or more of these categories, and we are concerned about how these changes will impact them.
 
While the work that we do continues to become more complex and challenging, we remain committed to our mission to create affordable housing opportunities and empower our tenants to achieve economic security. With your continued partnership and support, we will keep moving forward, regardless of the headwinds that we face.
