Company Description

Simpson Housing Services began as an emergency overnight shelter at Simpson United Methodist Church in 1982. For four decades, we have been a leading nonprofit helping people experiencing homelessness. In response to unmet community needs, our key programs have grown to include the following: an extended-stay shelter; supportive housing programs for youth, single adults, and families; and developmental and educational services for children. We annually support 2,000 people experiencing and transitioning out of homelessness, including 300 families with 650 children.

We were one of the first Minnesota organizations to use the nationally recognized Housing First model. Individuals and families are placed into housing immediately and then supported with identified services to help address barriers. We work across the metro area, partnering with property owners and developers to connect families and individuals to affordable, sustainable housing. The majority of our program participants live in scattered-site housing or individual apartments in market-rate apartment buildings, with the largest number of participants living in Hennepin County. Last year, we provided supportive services to over 1,600 people across all our programs.
