Who We Serve
The guests we serve are typically economically disadvantaged. Many are unhoused or formerly unhoused. Some struggle with addiction, or are living with the consequences of traumatic brain injuries or mental illnesses.
In Minnesota, it’s estimated that 15,000 – 20,000 unsheltered people experience homelessness at any given night.
40,000 – 50,000 people experience it annually, according to Wilder Research’s 2018 Minnesota Homeless Study.
Since 2015, Wilder reports a 62 percent increase in the number of people outside the shelter system sleeping in a car, on transit or in encampments.
Listening House serves proportionately more BIPOC men and women than are represented in St. Paul’s demographics.
