About This Cause

Stable Homes Stable Schools (SHSS) (a program administered by the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority) is a citywide initiative in Minneapolis dedicated to stopping recurrent poverty and homelessness among families with elementary-aged children. Founded in 2019, SHSS is a pioneering partnership between the City of Minneapolis, Minneapolis Public Housing Authority, Minneapolis Public Schools, and Hennepin County. Our mission is to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty by addressing four key pillars: housing, education, employment, and healthcare. Since launch, we’ve served over 2,100 families and nearly 6,000 children—93% of whom are from BIPOC communities, with over 75% led by women. A key piece of the program’s success is its Parent Advisory Councils (PAC), where families share their experience and recommend how to improve SHSS. The program has established two PACs, one for English speakers and one for Spanish speakers.
