What We Do

What Does PRG Stand For?

The initials “PRG” connect us to our roots. The Powderhorn Residents Group, founded in 1976, was created by neighbors concerned about affordable, resident-controlled housing in the Powderhorn Park neighborhood of Minneapolis. Very early in our history, PRG began applying our expertise to housing problems beyond the borders of our founding neighborhood, and today we serve many core neighborhoods of Minneapolis, and also nearby communities. We keep the name PRG just as we retain our commitment to the families and communities we serve.

PRG Transforms Homes, Neighborhoods and Lives.

We work at the invitation of neighborhoods and cultural groups turning vacant homes and land into beautiful, affordable places to live.

Our experienced advisors sit down—for free—with people worried about making their mortgage payments to help avoid foreclosure.

We teach prospective homebuyers (often the very first in their families to own homes) to make great decisions about whether, when, and how to buy.
