GMHC & Dayton’s Bluff NHS

SHOP™ is a unique partnership of two established Minnesota nonprofit organizations with decades of experience in building and sustaining stable communities:


GMHC was formed in 1970 by the Minneapolis business community. GMHC’s mission is to preserve, improve and increase affordable housing for low and moderate income individuals and families, and assist communities with housing revitalization.


Dayton’s Bluff Neighborhood Housing Services was established in 1980 as a partnership between residents, government, and financial institutions to promote investment and improve housing on the Eastside of Saint Paul.

These are before and after photos of houses that have gone through GMHC and Dayton’s Bluff NHS programs.
