r0 n <br /> aeo <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.
