The success of the Minnesota Homeless Study relies on volunteers like you. The next study will take place in October 2021.

Thank you!

In October 2018, more than 1,200 volunteers conducted face-to-face interviews with people experiencing homelessness at more than 400 shelter locations throughout Minnesota. Thank you for making this work possible!

"When I hear about homelessness in Minnesota, I remember my experience as a volunteer. I'm thankful for the people that are willing to tell their story, so that we, in turn, can do something about it." – Brooke Darst Rice, 2018 study volunteer
