About Stepping Stone Emergency Housing:
Stepping Stone Emergency Housing provides emergency shelter and critical support services to program participants, 18 and older, who are experiencing homelessness as they strive towards self-sufficiency. We are a one-of-a-kind organization whose staff walk alongside our residents to break their cycle of homelessness. We have three different programs: Shelter, LTH Program, and Hotel.
- Shelter: Located in Anoka, the Stepping Stone Shelter program is more than “just” a place to sleep for the night. We’re a temporary but short-term home for 66 men and women. This means we’re staffed 24/7 with a bed to call their own, three meals a day, laundry, showers, and much more. Our Case Managers and Shelter Advocates work with residents one-on-one to create and execute an individualized plan to help them move from homelessness to self-sufficiency.
- Long-term Housing Program (LTH): Stepping Stone’s Community program offers case management and critical support services for up to 20 stably housed within Anoka County residents.
- Hotel: Stepping Stone’s Hotel program was formed due to the COVID pandemic. Limited residents are located at a hotel in Anoka, while there are 50 additional residents between two hotels in Washington County (Forest Lake and Stillwater). The goal for both Stepping Stone and Washington County is to discontinue the use of these hotels and develop a static, congregate shelter similar to the facility in Anoka.
Stepping Stone is the only organization of its kind in the counties of Anoka, Washington, Dakota, Scott, and Carver. We are part of the Suburban Metro Area Continuum of Care.
