About Us

We are a group, representing diverse faith communities, living in both Ramsey and Washington counties, and meeting monthly, alternating between the city halls of Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake. We cultivate relationships with city, state and Met Council officials and administrators.

We work with and advocate at meetings of planning commissions and city councils as well as city staff in both White Bear Lake and Mahtomedi. We continue to work with and support St. Andrew's Resource Center, Hope for the Journey Home, and Solid Ground as each helps homeless families toward permanent and affordable housing. We support and encourage the building of Habitat for Humanity homes in our communities. We have representation on the Citizens Advisory Council for the Gateway Corridor and advocate for transit to make access to jobs available for the folks currently living in affordable neighborhoods as well as making future affordable housing possible. We continue to advocate at the state level through several agencies and organizations such as MICAH and JRLC.

 

“Solid Ground provides Supportive Housing for families experiencing homelessness, or those at imminent risk of homelessness. Supportive housing combines affordable housing with services that help individuals– and the whole family– achieve housing and economic stability, advance their education, improve their health, and create community connections.”
