eon <br />Home Changes Everything <br />For 30 years, Aeon has served families <br />and individuals who face the greatest <br />barriers to stable housing. <br />Aeon celebrates 30 years of creating Home in <br />2016. <br />Every day, more than 14,000 people are homeless in our <br />community, and many more are on the verge. One of the <br />greatest barriers to finding safe, stable housing is economic. <br />• Families in Aeon's affordable apartment homes have an <br />average income of $15,849. <br />• 22% of our households have experienced homelessness. <br />Aeon is a nonprofit developer, owner and manager of high - <br />quality affordable homes. As an award -winning nonprofit we <br />have built or renovated 2,500 apartments and townhomes, <br />which provide stability to more than 4,500 people each year. <br />Out mission is to create and sustain quality affordable homes <br />that strengthen lives and communities. That every person has <br />a home and is interconnected within community. <br />Aeon was originally founded in 1986 to replace 350 units of <br />housing that were demolished to build the Minneapolis <br />Convention Center. <br />Stable, affordable housing is good for residents and our communities. <br />Our high -quality developments help increase neighborhood property values, boost local economies, and support <br />residents' health. <br />Stable, affordable homes also allow residents to focus resources and energy on building more vibrant, healthy <br />lives. <br />Learn how Aeon uses innovative ways to provide quality affordable homes for individuals and families.
