About

Who We Are

Empowering Minnesotans Through Housing Stability

At Beacon Strategies, we believe stable housing is the foundation for lasting change. Through Housing Stabilization Services (HSS), we support individuals facing housing insecurity, mental health challenges, or barriers to independent living.

Our person-centered approach is built on collaboration. We work closely with treatment providers, case managers, and families to ensure our services enhance—not disrupt—the care people already receive.

Beacon Strategies was created to bridge the gap between treatment and long-term housing stability. We offer flexible, hands-on support to help people transition successfully and build secure, independent lives.

As part of the communities we serve, we bring both professional expertise and lived experience to every relationship. We’re here to help people feel seen, supported, and set up for success.

At Beacon, housing is just the beginning. Hope is the destination.
