Housing Support
Housing Support is a Minnesota program that provides help for housing costs for some people at risk of institutional placement or homelessness. Housing Support is administered by Counties through vendors in the community and can be a resource for individuals in some permanent supportive housing programs.
To expand use of Housing Support as a resource across the region, a CoC workgroup in 2018-2019 developed a guide for Counties considering using Housing Support to serve homeless adults. The guide is for existing Housing Support providers and providers who are interested in pursuing Housing Support funding. The guide includes steps necessary to obtain a Housing Support agreement and expectations that come along with the Housing Support agreement.
The CoC workgroup received advice from MN Department of Human Services in developing the guide. (It is available in an editable format so that Counties can adapt it for their staff as needed.)
