One partnership. One project. Countless lives impacted.

Today marks a historic milestone for the Housing First Minnesota Foundation as we partner with PulteGroup, Inc., , and to help bring a new Lewis House to Eagan.

The planned 50-bed emergency shelter and Survivor Support Center will serve survivors of domestic and sexual violence and their families with safety, stability, dignity, and hope. As the only shelter of its kind in Dakota County, Lewis House serves hundreds of individuals every year — many of them children.

This is more than a construction project. It’s a community coming together to help survivors rebuild their lives and create lasting change.
