Additional Support Resources:
Safe At Home: Safe at Home is designed to help people who fear for their safety maintain a confidential address. Many times participants are survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. When someone enrolls in Safe at Home, they are assigned a PO Box address that they can use as their legal address. In Minnesota, all public and private entities must accept a participant’s assigned address and a participant cannot be required to disclose their real address. This allows a Safe at Home participant to go about his or her daily life without leaving traces of where they can typically be located, such as their residential address, a school address, or an employment address. This safety measure is an attempt to keep their aggressor from locating them.
RECLAIM: RECLAIM's mission is to increase access to mental health care for queer and trans youth so they may reclaim their lives from oppression in all its forms. They serve youth ages 12-25 and their families by providing individual, couples, family, and group therapy. They specialize in assisting youth with gender identity and sexual orientation exploration, in addition to treating other mental health concerns impacting youth and young adults such as anxiety, depression, and pervasive trauma.
ZACAH Transitional Home: ZACAH is a 3-bedroom home in a quiet, safe neighborhood, located within walking distance from a commercial area with easy access to public transportation, affording their residents the ability to seek jobs, commute and regain independence. The home serves women who may be victims of domestic violence, are immigrants or homeless following eviction, or simply unable to financially maintain a home. ZACAH affords their participants the ability to live without any cost for at least 3 months, giving them the opportunity to resume the path of independent living.
