Housing Support Services (GRH)

Rebuilding lives and breaking the cycle since 1984.

At PDS, we believe in the worth of every person — especially those facing life's toughest challenges. Since 1984, we've helped individuals — particularly those exiting the criminal justice system — rebuild their lives, find stable housing, and break the cycle of poverty, crime, and homelessness.

Cost & funding

Funded through Minnesota Housing Support (GRH) and county programs — no cost to eligible clients beyond the standard resident contribution.

How to start

Eligibility is determined through Hennepin County Coordinated Entry; PDS can help you get connected.
