Minneapolis Shelters Prepare for Winter

As winter approaches, Catholic Charities Twin Cities is preparing to meet increased demand for shelter, according to Tatyana Finklea, division director of emergency services.

Finklea manages the organization's nightly programs and day shelters in Minneapolis and St. Paul, providing unhoused residents with access to meals, hygiene facilities, and wraparound services.

Our day shelter provides meals, showers, laundry and a place to store belongings. Guests can also connect with employment specialists, coordinated entry assessments and partner agencies to help stabilize their situation.

Crisis response organization Agate Housing and Services also provides support for people experiencing homelessness, including help with basic needs, housing shelters, and street outreach.

Agate is a crisis response organization working with people who face homelessness, said Virginia Brown, external relations vice president.
