Minneapolis supports sanctioned bridge-housing sites including Avivo Village indoor tiny-home community, providing low-barrier shelter alternatives connected to wraparound services and pathways to permanent supportive housing.
Minneapolis bridge-housing strategy includes Avivo Village, a sanctioned indoor tiny-home community housing roughly 100 residents with 24/7 access, on-site case management, harm reduction supports, and pathways to permanent housing. Catholic Charities St. Stephen's and Simpson Housing operate complementary shelter and supportive housing. Hennepin County Continuum of Care coordinates intake through Coordinated Entry. Bridge-housing rules emphasize low barriers, accepting residents regardless of sobriety, partner status, or pet ownership, in contrast to traditional shelters with stricter rules. Sites operate under city zoning approval and Title 4 health permitting; residents receive a stay agreement rather than a tenancy.
Operating a bridge-housing site without zoning approval or violating health or fire code conditions triggers permit suspension; residents who violate stay agreements may be transitioned to alternative placements.
