Our Mission

People of all ages in our community—including young children—experience homelessness every day. Our goal is to help end street homelessness in the City of Minneapolis by the year 2025. To do this, it will take an effort from those who live and work in our community, street outreach workers, public officials, law enforcement and the business community coming together to help those experiencing homelessness.
