Description of Project
People Serving People is an organization that helps people have the most basic needs of food and shelter. It exists to provide education, social, and life skill programs to people in need of them. They own and operate a ten story building in the downtown Minneapolis area. The facility which was constructed in 2002, provides a fully staffed dining facility, two libraries, classrooms and study areas, indoor and outdoor recreation spaces, a medical clinic, child care facilities, a laundry room, a computer lab, 99 separate shelter rooms and 10 two bedroom transitional apartments. The organization started to provide temporary shelter in 1982 for homeless men with chemical dependencies. It has now grown to serve thousands of families with shelter, food, and so much more.
