PEOPLE SERVING PEOPLE INC CHARITIES

People Serving People is the largest and most comprehensive emergency shelter for families experiencing homelessness in Minnesota and a dedicated leader in homelessness prevention.

Our 99 hotel-style emergency shelter housing units for children and families experiencing homelessness include a bathroom, beds, basic furniture, and a door families can lock behind them to feel safe. Three nutritious meals are served daily in our cafeteria, and diapers and other basic necessities are provided free of charge. After immediate basic needs are met, families are provided access to comprehensive Engagement Services to move towards stability. Services include access to Advocates who work with families to address their barriers and access the resources they need, Education programming for children from infancy through age 18, and resources for adults including parent engagement and financial fitness classes and a technology resource center.

People Serving People also offers 10 apartment-style supportive housing units, the Family Prevention Program, which advances our goal of supporting housing stability outside of shelter, and the Center of Excellence Preschool and Learning Center, which offers childcare to families leaving shelter and in the surrounding Phillips neighborhood.
