When you’re homeless, you’re concerned with one thing: Putting a safe roof over your head each night.

YouthLink can help.

With access to two housing facilities right in downtown Minneapolis, a variety of scattered sites throughout the Twin Cities, and a new Nicollet Square location scheduled to open in 2010, YouthLink can help you get back on your feet in a caring and supportive environment.

In total, YouthLink provides social service support to 69 one-bedroom and studio apartments within its Archdale and St. Barnabas (a partnership with Aeon–formally Central Community Housing Trust) locations.

Forty additional units are available through independent, scattered sites around the Twin Cities. YouthLink also partners with the Hearth Connections Youth Mobile Team and Lutheran Social Services to provide intensive case management services including mental health services, employment assistance and food resources to 25 youth across scattered site housing across the Twin Cities, helping them manage their rent subsidy.

And, later this year, Nicollet Square will offer 42 furnished studio apartments to homeless youth with private bathrooms and kitchenettes. What’s more, Nicollet Square residents will have an opportunity to secure that first job right in the building as the facility will also feature retail businesses like a coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants.

If you need help with more long-term housing, please call 612.252.1200 to get an Archdale or St. Barnabas Apartments application. Note: Archdale and St. Barnabas Apartments are a partnership with Aeon (formally Central Community Housing Trust).
