Solid Ground

Solid Ground The mission of Solid Ground is to prevent and end homelessness for families with children.

Founded in the late 1980s, Solid Ground is an award-winning nonprofit whose proven, holistic approach helps families build the strong foundations they need to emerge from homelessness into a brighter future. Committed to the 'Housing First' philosophy, Solid Ground moves people out of homelessness and into housing first, then provides person-centered, holistic support and services essential for lo

ng-term stability. We currently operate eight supportive housing programs throughout Ramsey and Washington Counties housing over 500 women, men and children annually. Our mission is to prevent and end homelessness for families with children in the communities we serve through housing, resources, and opportunity. Our vision is that every family has a safe and affordable home, where parents and children thrive in school, at work and in their community and can achieve their goals and dreams. Our core values include: Person-Centered, Equity, Inclusion & Access, Integrity and Community.

Thank you to the Incarnation Lutheran Church group that came to East Metro Place yesterday and planted tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and lots of beautiful flowers. Every year they brighten up the flower beds for families to enjoy fresh produce and children to experiment with gardening!

"I’m standing here today because of Solid Ground and because of the people in this room who believe that every family deserves a safe place to call home.” - Gabby, 2026 Breakfast Speaker

Her children's father passed away, and then anxiety, depression, and hopelessness overwhelmed her. She stopped working, her children struggled to attend school, and eventually, the family became homeless. One day, help came by way of her children’s school, where staff members who knew the family encouraged her to connect with Solid Ground.

Thank you, White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce and all the wonderful donors who give each year to make Mother's Day extra special for families. Kids will have so much fun giving these purses to their moms! 🩵👜💐

Every year, we host a purse drive in support of the moms that live in the Solid Ground facilities. We receive purses from the community and we receive all the things to stuff into a well-stocked mom bag! Thank you to every person and every business that donated to the effort!

Once we filled the bags, they go to Solid Ground and the children pick one out for mom for Mother's Day. It's such a sweet project!

🌟🏠💙 This summer, Solid Ground will open Willow Lake Apartments in Vadnais Heights: 12 new units serving families who face challenges with traditional housing due to rental history, low income, or prior instability. With on-site staff providing wrap-around support, residents will find the same path to lasting stability that we offer across all our programs.

This expansion reflects our core mission: preventing and ending family homelessness through housing, resources, and opportunity. Willow Lake means more families served, more children in stable homes, and more doors opened where they were once closed.
