Support Heading Home

Thank you for considering a gift to end homelessness in Minnesota. The 2006 Wilder Foundation statewide survey of homelessness found over 9,000 adults, youth, and children without a home; half of all homeless people were under age 22. As the economy slides into recession, the number is growing. Homelessness is a costly human tragedy – for individuals, children, and communities. But recent innovations in prevention, outreach, and supportive housing prove that we can end homelessness, not just manage it.

Minnesota has a strategy to end the cycle of homelessness. Heading Home Minnesota is an unprecedented, coordinated public-private partnership, bringing the support of business, government, faith communities, and philanthropy to end homelessness.Thank you for your gift to end homelessness.

Why Give to Heading Home Minnesota?

Ending homelessness is the right thing to do and makes great economic sense.
9,000 children, youth, and adults are homeless in Minnesota on any given night.
Investing in homelessness has a strong economic return on investment. The Wall Street Journal stated: “efforts to move the homeless into permanent supportive housing quickly can improve their lives and save taxpayer money.”
Heading Home Minnesota is a viable plan that creates 4,000 + units of permanent supportive housing for long-term homeless individuals and families.
Ending homeless is a massive undertaking—and no single entity or sector of our community can get the job done alone.
