Welcome to Beyond Housing... Minimize

Beyond Housing is one of the St. Louis region’s leading providers of housing and support services for low-income families and homeowners.

Our mission is to strengthen neighborhoods, one family at a time.  We do this by providing affordable housing and homeownership services; providing support services to families, children and seniors; being a catalyst for community-wide rebuilding efforts; empowering residents to be leaders of their own neighborhood revitalization efforts; and promoting individual and community asset building.  

We are the only organization in the St. Louis region that offers access to affordable housing, together with a comprehensive array of educational, employment, youth development and other support services. Wherever we work, our goal is to help transform people, families and communities, so that they achieve the skills, strategies, resources and commitment to succeed for the long-term.
