Since 2015, Ramsey County has worked closely with a network of government, nonprofit, public safety, business and other community partners on the unsheltered homelessness crisis. A few examples of programs and initiatives include:
Outside-In
A county initiative that engages in public outreach with people experiencing homelessness and who are unable to access housing or shelter due to addiction or family units.
Safe Space
A partnership between the county and Model Cities that provides shelter to people experiencing homelessness.
Project Home at the Provincial House
The Project Home family shelter at the Provincial House opened in March 2021 and serves approximately 20 families with children experiencing homelessness. Ramsey County, Interfaith Action of Greater Saint Paul and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet collaborated on the new shelter option.
