About our Supportive Housing Program
People Serving People provides stable housing units to 10 families as part of our Supportive Housing Program. People Serving People enters into a lease with families and maintains the units. In so doing, we provide families:
- Supportive, flexible, affordable housing to families who are experiencing high levels of barriers to gaining stable housing.
- On-site, wrap-around services to help families stabilize their lives.
- Client-centered goal planning around each family’s long-term housing plans.
- Intentional relationship building to help families establish a positive rental history.
People Serving People’s Supportive Housing Units are filled through Hennepin County’s Coordinated Entry System. There is no way to apply directly through People Serving People.
