Housing Provides Stability in People’s Lives

Housing is a first priority in our lives. We all need stable housing to develop roots in the community, maintain job stability and help our children nurture long-term success in school. We provide housing services and support to help youth, adults, people with disabilities, families, older adults and veterans live healthier and more satisfying lives. We also work with housing developers and property owners to provide safe and stable housing for people we serve.

If you are homeless or you do not have stable housing, the first step is to reach out to your county’s Coordinated Entry System contact. Coordinated Entry is a statewide screening process to assess your needs and connect you to a provider that can help. We serve people referred through Coordinated Entry in the Twin Cities, St. Cloud and Brainerd communities. If you need support in one of these areas, please see:
