Hennepin County operates the Adult Shelter Connect intake hub and funds bridge housing through Catholic Charities, Avivo Village, Simpson Housing, and Salvation Army. Avivo Village pioneered the indoor tiny-home model in 2020. Shelter rules cover sobriety, curfew, and stays.
Hennepin County's Adult Shelter Connect (612-248-2350) coordinates bed availability across emergency shelters. Catholic Charities Higher Ground and Opportunity Center offer sober-living and harm-reduction beds; Avivo Village provides 100 indoor temporary housing units in Minneapolis with 24/7 wraparound services. Simpson Housing serves families. Most shelters operate 24/7 with medical clearance, ID requirement waived in cold-weather emergencies, and individual case management. Bridge housing typically allows 90-day to 24-month stays while case managers help secure permanent housing through coordinated entry.
Shelter rule violations such as fighting, drug use in non-harm-reduction beds, or repeated curfew breaches can lead to suspension. Bans typically last 30-90 days; persons may return through Adult Shelter Connect.
