Housing Programs

Families Moving Forward strives to be part of the solution to family homelessness, rather than just an emergency band-aid.

Because we are so concerned about stability for the families we serve in our emergency shelter and for other families in our city like them, Families Moving Forward has expanded its mission to include affordable rental housing for families.


Self-Sufficient Families Transitional Housing Program

To meet the needs of some families that require on-going case management in order to be successful, Families Moving Forward created a program of transitional housing.

Self-Sufficient Families provides rental assistance and intensive social services for 18-24 months. This is a scattered site program, allowing families to choose their own apartment in any neighborhood they prefer.

Brandes Place

Families Moving Forward is pleased to have been chosen by CommonBond Communities to provide social services to a new 16-unit rental project in Fridley, MN. All 16 units have Section 8 rental assistance.

A Families Moving Forward staff person provides supportive services and resources to the tenant families on a part time basis.

Future Projects

Families Moving Forward has partnered with MetroPlains, a St. Paul-based development firm, to create 30 new units of affordable housing in northeast Minneapolis, near the corner of Central and Lowry Avenues. We broke ground on the new development, Audubon Crossing, winter 2009. The Board and Staff of Families Moving Forward are very proud of this new opportunity!

In addition, The Families Moving Forward Board is designing a template for future housing projects. Check back frequently to find out where, when and how many families we will house!
