"After more than 10 years on the streets, sleeping at shelters or my friend's couch, we finally have a place to call home, and I think we finally have a chance to be a real family again. I don't know what would have happened to my kids if it weren't for EMERGE Villages."

EMERGE Villages®™

Permanent and transitional supportive housing projects, together with EMERGE, provide a holistic model of human services to support success in housing and employment.

 
The EMERGE Villages, located throughout Minneapolis, link services directly to permanent housing to address the fundamental causes of chronic homelessness.  The goal is to create a mutually supportive community among residents who will help one another succeed.  The villages server more than 165 families each year.

EMERGE Villages are designed to support community-building by facilitating family privacy, interaction among the folks living there, and safety. Family-sized apartments feature three, four, and five bedrooms. Community spaces allow for adult and teen programming and counseling, and areas for after-school play and study.

EMERGE Villages emphasizes community interactions, services and gatherings where residents offer support and inspiration to one another to take charge of their lives.
