About us
Our mission is to house, support, and empower people impacted by homelessness. Simpson Housing Services began as an emergency overnight shelter at Simpson United Methodist Church in 1982. For four decades, we have been a leading nonprofit helping people experiencing homelessness. In response to unmet community needs, our key programs have grown to include the following: an extended-stay shelter; supportive housing programs for youth, single adults, and families; and developmental and educational services for children. We annually support 2,000 people experiencing and transitioning out of homelessness, including 300 families with 650 children.

Simpson Housing Services reposted this
Hennepin County and our partners are housing and helping veterans overcome homelessness at a higher rate than veterans are coming into the homelessness system. Our systems ensure that veteran homelessness is rare, brief, and nonrecurring. While we know that much remains to be done, we are celebrating alongside Hennepin County employees, leaders, our partners, such as U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and elected officials at the local, state, and federal levels. We are incredibly proud of Neil Doyle, Director of our Veterans' Services department and our team of Veteran Services Representatives! Their dedication and hard work ensure that our veterans receive the support and recognition they deserve. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of those who have served. Effectively ending veteran homelessness does not mean veterans do not ever experience homelessness, but that when veterans do experience become homelessness, our system is prepared to quickly respond and move people them back into permanent housing. #VeteranSupport #CommunityHeroes #ProudToServe #HennepinCounty

Thank you to Bell Bank, a long-time friend of Simpson!
Last night, I had the opportunity to volunteer with a great group of Bell Bank employees and their families. We prepared and served a meal at Simpson Housing Services in Minneapolis. I’m glad that I could make a small contribution to an organization working to house, support, and empower people impacted by homelessness.
