Keeping appointments. Boarding an elevator. Going to the grocery.

Many basic activities in life are now overcast with additional considerations of risk. Especially for those who can't easily avoid communal areas in their day-to-day.

Here at CommonBond we have been hearing more residents and staff at our housing communities asking to improve the climate of care and safety through face masks.

To help meet the need we are starting a Mask Donation Drive. And we're looking for support!

  • We are seeking donations of homemade, non-medical grade, cloth masks to distribute to our residents and site staff.
  • Masks can be made from t-shirts, bandanas, sheets, quilting fabrics, and other textiles.
  • Check out the CDC for a great tutorial on making masks, including no-sew and sew designs.
  • We are gladly accepting donated masks through the mail or at drop-off locations in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

About CommonBond Communities

Location:

1080 Montreal Ave., St. Paul, MN 55116, US

Mission Statement

CommonBond's mission is to build stable homes, strong futures, and vibrant communities. A safe, stable, and affordable home is the foundation for everything in life. It’s the place where each person can find what they need to meet their goals and build their best life. In other words, a CommonBond community. CommonBond is an affordable housing nonprofit organization that creates communities throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and South Dakota to help people of all ages and walks of life meet their goals and thrive. With five decades of working with vulnerable populations as an affordable housing organization, we know that when people have stability in their homes, children do better in school, teens graduate, adults find jobs with wages to support their families, and older adults maintain their independence.

Description

We believe home is the foundation for everything in life. For over 50 years, CommonBond has provided affordable, stable homes for families, veterans, and seniors. Not only do we connect residents with housing that will help them thrive, but we offer wraparound services that help folks define and achieve their own success. Programming is available to all CommonBond residents and is tied to four strategic priorities: Stability & Independence, Health and Wellness, Education & Advancement, and Community Building & Engagement. We know that through these focus areas, we’re able to support residents in finding solutions that matter. Our Advantage Services and Property Management teams work together to pro-actively support residents in a multitude of areas, such as subsidized housing, Section 8 vouchers, mentor programs for students, job training, career development, veterans programs, and much, much more.
