Our homes are different, but the most common thread for each of
us: we need it. Home is elemental in our lives. Aeon’s partners –
funders, donors, service providers, volunteers and staff – are all
vital to our mission and have made it possible to provide homes for 3,000 individuals.
Build community assets
Aeon steps into boarded buildings and deteriorating historic structures to transform and re-
capitalize challenged areas. We also build new. In 2008, Aeon celebrated the opening of its first
suburban property: Clover Field Marketplace in Chaska.
Connect residents within community
As residents suffer in this challenging economy, our Resident Connections staff provides vital
connections to stabilizing resources, such as job training and after-school programs. Last year,
Aeon strategically stepped into property management to inject our long-term expectations,
standards and values into daily operations.
Forever changing lives
Without Aeon, 3,000 men, women and children would struggle without a decent, affordable
place to live.
Recently, a homeless man came into our office. John had heard that we could help him get
off of the street, and he asked about one of our properties for homeless individuals. When John
heard that the wait was at least nine months, he cried.
There are just not enough quality affordable homes in our community, and Aeon is more
relevant than ever before in our 23 year history. We are so grateful for your support to build
affordable homes and connect our residents to stabilizing resources.
Thank you.Clover Field Marketplace
Build Connect Forever Six years ago Christine and her
husband Anders were invited to a
breakfast to learn about Aeon. “We
discussed the importance of housing and developing
shelter and providing other services that truly
honor individuals in need. It was easy to connect
with a vision that offers respect at such a deeply
practical level.” They became founding members of
the Cornerstone Society, Aeon’s multi-year giving
program.
Between the two of them, they have eight
children. “Five are launched,” Christine laughed,
“a couple are in college and one’s in high school.”
Aware of their many blessings, she expressed the
desire to transfer the gift of gratitude to their
children. “You hope that what you’ve taught them
– to be grateful for everything – is received. And
frankly, Aeon helps us appreciate, even more, all
that we have.”
As annual contributors, Anders and Christine
have witnessed Aeon expand across the metro
area, offering a variety of housing options. Each
apartment home, in their minds, represents a life
once lived on the edge which is now stable and
interconnected with the larger community.
“The words ‘welcome’ and ‘home’ mean the same
thing. It’s where you are unconditionally accepted,
a place of warmth, food and love,” Christine said.
“Our little bungalow is a revolving door to family
and friends. It’s the place where we practice
Namaste – the Hindu expression, ‘the holy in me
recognizes the holy in you.’ And, we teach our
children to give like we do – to intentionally
support what they believe in. That’s why we support
Aeon.”
Christine & Anders
• Aeon transformed a dilapidated building with 400 code
violations into a community asset and healthy home for 18
formerly homeless adults with mental health challenges. Aeon
partners with Oak Grove to help residents at 1822 Park Avenue
Apartments gain self-sufficiency skills
• Recognized locally and nationally for its commitment to
historic preservation and sustainability, Aeon received several
awards, including: I. Donald Terner Prize for Innovation and
Leadership in Affordable Housing, a Minneapolis Heritage
Preservation Award and recognition from the Minnesota
Environmental Initiative

Patrick RhodeResident, The Archdale
• Archdale Apartments – one of the first of
its kind in the country to offer apartments
for homeless youth when it opened in 1997
– received a substantial renovation in 2008
• Aeon and its service partner at St.
Barnabas – YouthLink – received an
honorable mention Maxwell Award of
Excellence in a national competition
recognizing leaders in the field of
supportive housing. St. Barnabas provides
homes for 39 formerly homeless youth
• Youth at St. Barnabas welcomed
Congressman Keith Ellison for a tour of
their home. The formerly homeless residents
urged the Representative to help change a
federal law restricting them from being full-
time students while living in Low Income
Housing Tax Credit properties.

Patrick
“Home’s comfortable,”
said Patrick Rhode,
who makes his home
at The Archdale with 29 other youth who were once
homeless. “It’s where I start and finish my day…where
I relax and can think about my hopes and dreams.”
The comfort and independence that The Archdale
offers Patrick came at exactly the right moment.
After graduating from Roosevelt (a four-year
football star with a lettered jersey to prove it),
he was hired by ACE Institute of Learning – an
afterschool program in which he had participated as
a child – as an afterschool mentor.
“Kids are cool,” he smiled. “I helped them with
their homework and I listened, you know what I’m
sayin’? I helped them focus.”
Next, he apprenticed as a mason and earned his
labor license through the Job Corps. But his
bricklaying career was short-lived.
“I was broke and spent time in a shelter. But at
Archdale, staff accepted me where I was and helped
me move ahead with my plan,” which includes
college and a solid job. “I can get a fresh start
here,” he said. “Nothing’s easy, but it’s all good.”
Life at The Archdale includes living in community,
facing conflicts constructively and trusting the staff
– which helps every step of the way. In fact, it’s an
experience that he champions. “I tell all my homies
who don’t have a stable place to live to fill out the
application for Archdale,” he explained. “If you get
a spot here, you’re going to be somebody.” Which is
exactly what he has in mind...to be somebody.

Tiffany
Tiffany RobertsonFormer Resident, Alliance Apartments Tiffany Robertson balances a sales lead
job with full-time studies as she pursues
a degree in criminal justice. She also
works her 12-step program and at 35, recently moved
from her first home – at Aeon’s Alliance Apartments –
into an apartment with her long-time boyfriend, Joe.
“My two years at Alliance have gone really well,”
she smiles. Then, joking about her big move, “Now I
have all of this stuff I had to pack and move!” But
life didn’t always feel so ordinary. In fact, for most of
it, Tiffany has held her breath, waiting anxiously for
whatever came next.
“I grew up in bars,” she explains. “Bars are places
full of people who are miles away from reality.”
Addicted to marijuana at 14, cocaine at 18 and
dealing meth by 28, life was a vortex of addiction
and turmoil. “I finally faced my demons,” she said. “I
looked them straight in the eye, did my time and got
the help I needed to get out of the mess.”
Part of what she needed was found at Alliance
Apartments, which offer a sober living environment.
“When I came to Alliance, I knew immediately that
staff was willing to work with me. All I had to do was
be honest. I had my own space, where I closed the
door and exhaled in the safety of my home.”
Independence drives the calm at her core. “I had
always felt like I’d been living in a tornado. Fear – of
that wind, of being alone – made me aggressive. But
today, I’m no longer afraid. I trust my Higher Power.
My inner strength keeps me safe. My home is the eye
of the storm. Here, where I can breathe, there’s peace,
no matter what’s going on outside.”

• Aeon Management LLC, a property
management company, was created
to extend Aeon’s core values to daily
operations within each property and to
ensure that they function as assets to both
residents and the greater community
• Believing that stability is gained
by connecting residents to the larger
community, Aeon’s Resident Connections
program helped more than 900 residents
participate in various engagement activities
(e.g., neighborhood barbeques, voter
registrations and volunteer projects)
• Resident Connections helped 356
residents who were teetering on the edge
of instability to go through Aeon’s eviction
prevention program to maintain their home
Outcomes
John
As a senior project manager for Aeon,
John Rocker plays the position
of quarterback. “Our Housing
Development team rallies projects through the
paces, beginning-to-end,” he explained. “From
coordinating architects and assembling the ‘green
team,’ to overseeing contractors, managing budgets
and keeping an eye on scope, we help ensure that
our projects meet Aeon’s core goals.”
The Wellstone – the third of the four-phased
Franklin Portland Gateway development –
exemplifies Aeon’s commitment “to create and
sustain quality affordable homes that strengthen
lives and communities.” Once a blighted, vacant
urban intersection, the corners are in a rebirth,
fast becoming a vibrant anchor of affordable homes
and retail.
“And, it’s green!” John smiled broadly. “Aeon
and its partner Hope Community used the
Minnesota Green Communities criteria to meet
water conservation and healthy housing goals.”
The development team matched the criteria, and
where they could, went beyond the requirements,
establishing a 35% reduction in energy use
below code as they designed energy efficiencies
– including Aeon’s first ever solar water heating
system – into the building.
“For me, home is all about sanctuary. I go
home to relax and feel secure with the people
I love. The Wellstone – and the surrounding
revitalization of the entire neighborhood – ripples
security and vitality throughout the whole
community.”

• The Wellstone – featuring 49 apartment
homes, 4,000 feet of commercial space and
3,000 feet for community programming –
welcomed its first residents in December
2008
• Clover Field Marketplace – Aeon’s first
suburban property – opened in Chaska,
providing 117 quality homes and commercial
space
• Aeon secured a majority of funding
for three developments anticipated to
break ground in 2009: Alliance Addition
(Minneapolis), Har Mar Apartments
(Roseville) and Renaissance Box (St. Paul).
All three will be developed with sustainable
measures thanks to a partnership with the
Center for Sustainable Building Research and
the Center for Energy & the Environment

In recent years, Kristin Ficek’s childhood
volunteering opportunities gave way
to college and career. “That was until
last fall,” she said, “when I went online to Google
thanksgiving and serve. Aeon was the result.”
Working with Aeon’s volunteer coordinator,
Kristin learned about The Coyle, where she served
her first meal to formerly homeless residents.
“Nothing like starting big,” she laughed. “Five years
ago I couldn’t cook a frozen pizza. But, I relied on
Mom’s recipes and my friend, Andrea.”
The day before was spent preparing turkey,
stuffing and six pies. They arrived at The Coyle
early to decorate and prepare. “We served about 30
residents,” Kristin proudly stated. “But it was so
much more than food. At first I was nervous, but
the residents made me feel at home. They welcomed
me to eat with them. Some of the residents really
opened up about their lives and their stories. I
learned how quickly homelessness can happen to
someone.”
Now on the verge of preparing and serving her
third meal – at a different Aeon property each
time – she’s got the process down. And this time, a
neighborhood family plans to help, along with her
regulars, boyfriend Steve and friend Andrea.
“Home’s always meant familiar surroundings. A
comfortable place where I connect with family,
friends, and neighbors. Now, my neighborhood’s
expanded,” she explained. “More of the city feels
familiar because I made a meal, served it and ate
with the residents – right there in their home.”
Kristin
• More than 1,115 volunteers provided more than 7,464 hours
of service. More than 90 Aeon residents volunteered to help
strengthen the community in which they live
• The Twin Cities Community Development Hall of Fame
inducted Aeon’s President, Alan Arthur and East Village —
esteemed as one of the area’s first mixed-income, mixed-use
projects that established a new, higher standard of design for
projects throughout the Twin Cities — into its newly established
roster of honorees
