  • We are happy to share a new way to help us build affordable housing in our community - the State Housing Tax Credit (SHTC). This program allows taxpayers to direct a portion of their Minnesota tax liability toward a qualified housing project of their choosing.

    Tom Kingston, a Habitat Board member, took advantage of the program last year, donating $1,000.00.  He was pleasantly surprised at the ease and simplicity of making the donation and receiving his $850.00 Minnesota tax credit.

    We encourage you to donate through this program towards our current qualified project, The Rocket Build.  This single family home is a partnership between the Underwood High School Construction Trades program and Fergus Falls Area Habitat for Humanity.  The high school students will begin construction of the home in the fall of 2024.

    Act now if you would like to take advantage of this opportunity.  The program is limited to granting $10 million per year.  Once the credits have been claimed, it will be closed for the remainder of the current tax year.  1.2 million dollars of credits have already been claimed.
