Libin Hashi is the Founder of Steady Development and brings more than a decade of experience in social services. Throughout her career working across multiple sectors, she recognized that housing continued to be one of the biggest barriers affecting individuals and families. While connecting people to resources and services addressed immediate needs, access to standard housing remained one of the greatest challenges facing many communities.
Working directly in the community gave her profound insight into the barriers many underserved populations face when accessing housing. She saw firsthand how housing plays a pivotal role in shaping a person's economic mobility, health, and overall quality of life. Those experiences gave her a broader understanding of the critical role housing plays in creating long-term stability.
Those experiences ultimately steered her toward affordable housing development with the goal of helping address the shortage of housing options for rent burden communities. Steady Development was founded on the belief that the communities most affected by the housing crisis should play an active role in shaping the solutions. Leading with the lived experiences of the community is our guiding principle in identifying solutions to long-standing housing barriers and inequities. By listening to community voices throughout the development process, Steady Development creates housing that reflects the needs and priorities of the people it is intended to serve.
Steady Development is a community focused real estate development company dedicated to creating affordable and sustainable housing throughout the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota. We use affordable housing as a vehicle to address broader issues such as housing instability, environmental sustainability, and community empowerment.
As a grassroots organization, we center the needs of those experiencing the highest rates of housing instability. Our work is focused on creating housing opportunities for BIPOC communities, particularly those that have historically faced barriers to accessing safe, stable, and affordable housing.
