	Supportive Housing

Helping homeless and recovering families re-enter economic and social mainstream

This program is the largest Supportive Housing Program (SHP) for families with children in Minnesota. Our program houses 52 families, including over 100 children, at any given time. The programs’ target population is recovering homeless women (single head of household) with their children. Critical one-to-one case management is provided in order to assist the families in their transition back into the socio-economic mainstream. Because we offer a structured and supportive environment many parents are able to reunite with their children.

The housing campus consists of 5 buildings located adjacent to one another in a cul-de-sac. Two buildings are designated for transitional housing residents and three buildings are designated for a permanent housing program where the stay is not limited. All apartments are furnished and all buildings are smoke-free.

SHP provides an array of services at Perspectives Family Center, including clinical services and a MFIP employment program. Childcare is offered during programming and transportation between the housing campus and the Family Center is provided. SHP children participate in Perspectives’ year-round academic and social enrichment programs, including our Kids Connection.
