Minnesota Working Group on Simplifying Supportive Housing Resources

The Working Group on Simplifying Supportive Housing Resources was established in 2025 under Minnesota Statute MN Session Laws 2024, Chapter 127, Article 51, Section 4. The working group collaborates to study supportive housing resources, streamline access, eligibility and administration of state-funded supportive housing resources, and provide recommendations to improve these processes. Particularly, the group will work to:

• Reduce administrative complexities;
• Enhance equity and accessibility, including coordinated entry;
• Streamline and simplify eligibility criteria, paperwork, and funding distribution; and
• Accelerate the transition of individuals from homelessness to sustainable long-term solutions.

The first meeting of this working group is set for Monday, Jan. 13, 2025, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. We would encourage people to attend the first meeting virtually. You will also be welcome to attend in room 2370 at the Elmer Andersen building, located at 540 Cedar Street in St. Paul.
