Keep Families Housed

Support rent assistance

ICE operations in Minneapolis have destabilized countless families. We have recently seen a huge surge of rental assistance requests from families who had to miss work in order to stay safe and remain together. People Serving People has stepped up to meet the moment by relying on our Homeless Prevention Program to help parents pay back rent and avoid eviction.

The demand for rental assistance is outpacing our resources. The funding we need to continue this life-changing program through 2026 is nearly depleted. 

Your donation to our rental assistance fund will help keep families in their homes and sustain our crucial work.

“I continue to support People Serving People because I am aligned with the mission and believe in the work that’s being done. As the largest, most comprehensive family homeless shelter in the community, People Serving People is well-positioned to make a big difference. And the staff is incredible at providing needed resources and compassionate support to their guests. I can’t say enough good things and am excited to see what they continue to achieve!”
