As we expand to three shelters to support families experiencing homelessness, we're giving our original—and largest—shelter its first name. Inspired by our core values, we're now calling our first shelter Possibility Place. A new name, the same unwavering commitment to families. Reintroducing Possibility Place!

✨Last week we marked another milestone in our expansion. We will soon become stewards not only of the First Covenant Church Minneapolis property, but of the church's 152-year history of serving the community. We celebrated this milestone with the church, which has entrusted us to continue caring for our neighbors with compassion and dignity. 🤝 Some young learners from our Early Learning Center joined us for the festivities and sang "You Are My Sunshine" to everyone's delight. 🌞

💫 One year ago, we launched our first Lived Experience + Advocacy Fellowship (" LEAF"). And last Saturday, we celebrated our extraordinary LEAF Fellows: Kelly, Marion, Duane, Judy, and Aja (pictured left to right), with staff, friends, and family. 🎉 We thank the Pohlad Family Foundation for funding LEAF for two years, and Linda Berrara (pictured far right), our Community Organizing Manager, whose leadership made the fellowship so special for everyone involved. 💞
