Register on Eventbrite

Thursday, October 22nd 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM

At Exodus (819 2nd Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55402)

LAI MN’s October program explores a new model for housing stability in urban locations

Join the LAI Minnesota Chapter in downtrown Minneapolis for a program and site visit showcasing Exodus, an innovative permanent supportive housing development transforming a former downtown residential building into 72 deeply affordable studio homes with comprehensive on-site supportive services. Developed by Aeon in partnership with St. Olaf Catholic Church and Touchstone Mental Health, Exodus represents a significant investment in addressing homelessness and housing instability in Minneapolis.

Program highlights will include:

  • Listen and participate in a panel discussion featuring AEON CEO Rachel Robinson and Ellie Skelton, CEO of Touchtone Mental Health
  • The story behind the adaptive reuse and expansion of the existing building
  • Insights into the development, financing, and public-private partnerships that made the project possible
  • Discussion of permanent supportive housing as a tool for community and economic vitality and the potential use as a model for other urban rehabilitation and in-fill developments

Exodus is currently under substantial re-construction and features a comprehensive rehabilitation of the existing structure and a new eight-story addition, creating modern studio apartments with private kitchens and bathrooms, shared community spaces, fitness facilities, outdoor green space, and dedicated supportive service offices.

A near by social hour will follow after the program.
