Our mission is to improve the quality of life and opportunities for those most in need in the Twin Cities.
Our Vision of a Better Future
The Pohlad Family Foundation’s vision is for the Twin Cities’ nationally recognized quality of life to be shared by all. That’s why we partner with community to advance housing justice.

Housing Justice
We partner with community to advance housing justice so that everyone in the Twin Cities has access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.
Why Housing Justice?
Housing justice means everyone has access to safe, dignified, and affordable homes — and that we address the harms that have led to today’s disparities in housing.We focus on it because housing is foundational for well-being, health, and opportunity. When people have stable housing, they are better able to thrive.
Our Beliefs
Every person has value, worth, and dignity. Everyone deserves a safe place to call home.
Stable housing is the foundation from which we build thriving lives.
People closest to the issues should help design the solutions.
Progress requires collaboration across communities, organizations, and systems.
Our Approach
We focus on the people and places most impacted by housing disparities, with three core priorities:
- Keep people housed
- Expand access to dignified, affordable homes
- Create pathways to sustainable homeownership
