Our mission

Alliance’s work makes it possible for individuals and families to create homes for themselves, regardless of income and background by developing and managing housing that is:

• inclusive,

• affordable,

• relational, and

• flexible.

In addition, Alliance housing challenges the environment that limits our residents’ opportunities.

Like us all, having stable housing makes it possible for our residents to get their kids to school each day, manage their medications and health, get & keep jobs.

Stable housing is the foundation of accomplishing just about anything in one’s life. Can you imagine what your life would be without it? We believe everyone deserves stable housing.

Our history

Alliance Housing was born out of the vision of St. Stephens’ emergency shelter staff and residents who wanted to create tangible, long term housing solutions for homeless families and individuals.  The organization was incorporated in 1991 and took advantage of vacant and available properties at low cost in South Minneapolis.  Alliance continues to honor its history by developing housing solutions for homeless, poor and other individuals shut out of market opportunities. 

Alliance’s programs and activities include affordable housing development and management and supportive housing for families. 

Our properties

Alliance fills a critical niche in Minneapolis’ affordable housing marketplace. Our units are some of the most affordable – a Single Room Occupancy (SRO) room, where a resident shares a bathroom and kitchen, costs as little as $350 per month. Our largest apartments, with three bedrooms, cost as low as $915 per month. These rents are 15-30% below market.
