MN Tax Credit
Applications are closed for 2025, but watch for 2026 to open up around February 1, 2026.
Donate to Habitat instead of paying your taxes!
The State Housing Tax Credit Program and Contribution Fund is a new way to help finance affordable housing in the state of Minnesota. If you or your business will owe more than $1000 in MN state taxes, you can donate to our current project and receive a tax credit for 85% of your donation to be filed with your next tax return.
For example, if you need to pay in $1,700 on your Minnesota state income taxes as a business or an individual, you can donate $2,000 to our current project. You will receive a certificate for a $1,700 tax credit and we will receive a $2,000 donation! This is a win-win situation, and we encourage you to take advantage of it! The tax credits are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
More information is available at https://www.mnhousing.gov/shtc-contribution.html.

2026 Projects
In 2026 we will be building House #26 on the west side of Little Falls and will also be building House #27 in a new partnership with the Little Falls High School, with Carpentry Trades students assisting in all aspects of the build. In this partnership, we will be building five houses across the street from the High School in a multi-year project. The students will be working and learning alongside our construction manager and volunteers and will gain valuable experience in framing, insulating, electrical, plumbing, HVAC. This experience could lead to new career choices for this next generation and also advance the trades in our community. We are excited about this opportunity to involve the students in our mission of Building Homes, Building Hope, and Building Community!
When you apply through SHTC, you can choose to contribute to "House 26" or "School Build House 27". Both are valuable projects and your donation will help provide deserving families the life-changing opportunity of owning their own home.
