Assistance

Homeless to housing program


Hennepin County residents who are experiencing homelessness can receive housing case management assistance through the Homeless to Housing program. We have solutions to homelessness, and have the tools to help people find and sustain housing.

Services

Homeless to Housing teams can help single adults and families staying in emergency shelter or living unsheltered with the following process as they work on a plan to get into stable and permanent housing:

  1. Referral
  2. Intake
  3. Goal planning
  4. Barrier busting
  5. Housing identification and move in
  6. Stabilization and referral to long-term support
