A safe place for youth in crisis, Hope House serves youth in the Twin Cities’ southwest metro suburbs. Hope House is a short-term emergency shelter for youth ages 14 –19 who are experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, homelessness.​ It is the only youth shelter located west of Highway 100 in the greater Twin Cities. ​At Hope House, youth find emotional support, space and time to work through issues, and caring staff to help plan for the next step on their life journey. Youth live in a shared community, participate in group activities, can attend their regular school and activities, and access supportive services. Hope House is a partnership between 180 Degrees and the Open Hands Foundation.
