INTRODUCING QUEERSPACE COLLECTIVE

The local organizing committee has selected QUEERSPACE Collective as a local non-profit partner. Launched in April 2021, QUEERSPACE collective is the first mentorship program created specifically for LGBTQ+ in Minnesota.

QUEERSPACE collective creates space for LGBTQ+ youth to feel safe and empowered to be their true selves.


INTRODUCING CLARE HOUSING

Today, over 9,000 people in Minnesota are living with HIV/AIDS. Fifty percent of them will be homeless or have a housing crisis during the course of their lifetimes.

Clare Housing operates 275 units of stable and affordable housing for people living with HIV/AIDS and has developed three resident-focused supportive housing options to meet residents where they’re at in terms of their health and independent living skills.
