Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities, and hope.
Building strength, stability, and self-reliance through shelter in
North St. Louis County, Minnesota, since 1995.
Homeownership's impact after 10 years
Melissa Wallace’s home in Mountain Iron was dedicated in 2014. She often worked 90 hours per week to provide for her family, but she could barely afford $800 utility bills—and their home was still too cold. She had little time to spend with her children. After purchasing her Habitat home, she is financially stable, can spend quality time with her family, has refreshed her home by herself, and has a positive outlook for the future. In this video, you’ll hear in her own words how Habitat made an impact on Melissa’s life and how she was an active participant in the process.
