“For a quarter century, HJC has been a champion for equitable housing policies and justice, creating pathways to stability for countless individuals and families.”
— Laquita Love-Limo, SHIP Collective
Overview
At Housing Justice Center (HJC), we believe that everyone deserves a safe, stable, affordable, and dignified place to call home free from discriminatory barriers.
HJC is proud to work alongside renters, manufactured home residents, community partners, and policymakers to ensure that housing laws are not just words on a page but real rights that people can access. We work to expand and preserve affordable housing across the state.
Led by the communities most deeply impacted by housing injustice, our team of lawyers, policy advocates, and organizers fights to improve our housing system so all Minnesotans can be stably housed with dignity—while remaining rooted in community.
Our Mission
Advancing affordable, stable, and quality housing through impact litigation, policy advocacy, and organizing.

We envision a future where every person has affordable, sustainable, and decent housing.

In Kind Support: HJC depends on student interns and volunteers to support our work. Through the Minnesota Justice Foundation, the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs at the University of Minnesota, and the University of St. Thomas law clinic we have had the privilege of working with the next generation of lawyers and researchers. HJC also works with pro bono attorneys as co-counsel on our larger impact litigation efforts.
HJC’s work is also sustained by individual donors. To make a contribution to our work, donate here.
