Listening House of St. Paul
Homelessness doesn't end when the sun comes up.
The Listening House provides a safe and welcoming daytime shelter for people experiencing homelessness, poverty, and loneliness. Here, guests can find community, access resources, enjoy a hot cup of coffee, and be treated with dignity and respect.
WHY ARE WE HERE?
Because our neighbors need us. Last year, nearly 3,000 people came through our doors seeking support, connection & a safe place to belong.
Many of our guests are experiencing homelessness, deep poverty, or social isolation. Some are navigating chronic physical or mental health conditions, substance use disorders, trauma, or barriers to stable employment and housing. Others simply need a warm meal, a listening ear, access to basic resources, or a place where they are treated with dignity and respect.
