| The Department of Human Services works to ensure that appropriate housing is available for the people we serve through creating a system that integrates housing, services and income supports to enable adults to live in the community. |
| The Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP), authorized under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, awarded $23.5 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). More than half of that amount was awarded to the following six jurisdictions: |
| • City of St. Paul - $3.3 million |
| • City of Minneapolis - $5.5 million |
| • Hennepin County - $993,000 |
| • Dakota County - $704,000 |
| • City of Duluth - $1.2 million |
| • St. Louis County - $1 million. |
| The balance of $10.9 million was allocated to the Minnesota Department of Human Services, and has been awarded to 31 other programs. |
| Group Residential Housing (GRH) is a state-funded income supplement program that pays for room-and-board costs for low-income adults who have been place in a licensed or registered setting with which a county human service agency has negotiated a monthly rate. |
| The Housing Resources ToolBox provides individuals and their families, county staff, and housing and service providers information to address the unique needs of older adults, people with disabilities and the homeless. |
The Supportive Housing Managed Care Pilot is a five-year demonstration project created from an intergovernmental, public-private partnership. The premise of this pilot is to test and evaluate a new model to help families and single adults who have long histories of homelessness achieve increased levels of stability in their lives, while improving the efficiency of service delivery.
