The Residency brings together diverse stakeholders from across sectors of government, policy, direct services, alongside people most impacted to co-create solutions for children, youth (prenatal-24), and families experiencing homelessness across Minnesota.

The Residency launched two years ago as a program of the Graves Foundation, starting with an initial cohort of thirteen stakeholders focused on the intersection of education and housing stability.

Vision

We envision a Minnesota with a comprehensive, fully-funded, child-centered collective blueprint to end housing instability in Minnesota for children, youth and families.
