The St. Joan of Arc Housing Ministry envisions a future where everyone has safe, affordable and dignified housing. This is the right of every child of God. Our work involves direct service and advocacy with our partner organizations. 

12/11/2020: We are proud to announce that St. Joan of Arc has become a member congregation of the Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative. Beacon is a developer of affordable housing as well as an organizing vehicle for people of faith to stand up for investments in housing and services to those who are homeless. We are grateful to our parishioner leadership team for being our beacon for housing justice!

Join us:

• Join a St. Joan of Arc volunteer team with Urban Homeworks (www.urbanhomeworks.com)  and rehab existing homes and apartment buildings to create beautiful, affordable housing for low-income families. No experience necessary. 
• Serve with fellow parishioners and with other congregations in the Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative (www.beaconinterfaith.org) to advocate for new affordable housing construction in cities and neighborhoods where we live. Help us urge our local and state legislators to invest adequately in affordable housing and in services to people experiencing homelessness.  Join our action alert email list, visit a supportive housing complex, attend a city council meeting or contact your legislators to show support for the creation of more affordable, supportive housing across the seven county metro area.  

In addition, through our SJA Outreach Fund, we award Justice Grants to housing organizations in our cities in which our parishioners are volunteers and leaders, and our CARE Committee serves households in need of emergency financial assistance for housing and utilities.
