Who We Are
Clare Housing is a Minneapolis-based non-profit agency that provides affordable housing with services to 300 neighbors living with HIV/ AIDS. Those who live with us have often experienced systemic and individual harm and discrimination, so we commit to ensuring that living at Clare Housing feels healing, empowering, dignifying, and connective. This goal is not achievable without the partnership of neighbors and friends from the broader community (such as you!).
The Opportunity
Residents in our Scattered Site program receive a rental subsidy and live independently in homes throughout the Twin Cities Metro area, with ongoing support available from a Clare Housing Case Manager. The program provides a high amount of dignified choice and independence, and, without the on-site staff and events that exist at our apartment buildings, some of these residents may not feel as connected to the communities they live in. That’s where our Bridge-builders come in!
By serving with us as a Bridge-builder, you will have the opportunity to connect with a neighbor you may not have otherwise met! What you all do together is up to you - chat over coffee at their home, go out to see a movie, cook and share a meal together, or take a walk around a local park. It’s up to you both!
Our Bridge-builders play a crucial role in expanding these residents’ sense of belonging and connection to their neighborhoods and help feed an environment and culture where neighbors show up for each other, learn from each other, and build bridges across varied life experiences.
