PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU CONTACT US:

DISCLAIMER

Homeless To Independence Inc. is a 501©3 non-profit organization. We are self supporting and we do NOT receive any government grant funding what-so-ever to pay bills for anyone in any situation. We do not give away money. We do not give out loans against any money.

This ministry is supported with generous financial donations that are used to help keep us functioning. Our purpose is to help supply individuals and families with personal needs such as food, toiletries, clothing, household items, furniture and baby/adult diapers/wipes both locally and to areas effected by disasters . At this time, we do not offer any shelter or transitional housing services. Again, we DO NOT pay any bills. We DO NOT pay any rents or mortgages.

If you are actually homeless, or about to be homeless or need emergency assistance of any kind, DIAL “211” from a land-line telephone. This will not work from a cell telephone. Tell the receiver your situation and what you need. They will give you information specific for the location you are currently in plus any referrals you may need. They have the most up to the minute information for your specific area. Dialing “211” will get you help and much more info than this office can provide. Homeless to Independence wants you to have all the information you need to get through the situation you are in.

Don’t have a land-line telephone??? Go to your local police department, library, or house of worship and ask to use their land-line telephone. They may even make the call on your behalf.

Ramsey County, Preparing for Winter, Is Opening Up Two Overnight Warming Spaces

Ramsey County officials, recalling last winter’s brutal weather, are opening two overnight warming spaces that will operate from 6:00 PM until 9:00 AM.

The first one opened Wednesday at the St. Paul Opportunity Center, on the Dorothy Day Place campus.

A second warming for the use of families and youth aged 14-24 space will open December 4th, at Central Baptist Church, on North Roy Street.

Both spaces are opening weeks ahead of normal, because of cold weather concerns.

02-04-21 MINNESOTA, CLAY COUNTY – SPECIAL NOTICES

Clay County HRA has programs for people experiencing homelessness.  All applications for these programs come through the local Coordinated Entry System (CARES-Coordinated Assessment, Referral, & Evaluation System).   https://www.careslink.org/

Our community uses a client-centered, coordinated entry system to access homeless services.  We use a brief assessment that helps us understand your housing needs.  Assessments can be done in any of the local emergency shelters, by homeless outreach providers, or at the Community Action Agencies.  We use this system to help streamline services effectively and fairly.  Services are based on funding and availability; housing is not immediate or guaranteed.   Housing Provider staff will contact people who have done the CARES assessment when there are openings in local homeless programs.

All CCHRA homeless programs follow the West Central Continuum of Care Prioritization Policies. https://www.homelesstohoused.com/Prioritization%20Policy%20-%20Final.pdf

Need a place to stay tonight in Cass or Clay Counties:  call the FM Emergency Shelter Network at 701-499-0000.  You can also contact FirstLink at 211 for information on community resources.
