Who is eligible for Housing Stabilization Services (HSS)?

If you have or may qualify for Medical Assistance (MA) and need help finding or keeping housing, you may be eligible. We’ll confirm details with your county/health plan and help with paperwork if you don’t have a case manager.

How do I get referred or start services?

Partners can submit a referral through our form or call 952-463-5580. Individuals can contact us directly; we’ll respond within 1 business day and aim to start within 3 business days.

What documents do I need?

Photo ID (if available), MA/PMI number, basic income details, and anything you already have for housing (e.g., pay stubs, benefits letters). If you’re missing items, we’ll help you obtain them.

Do you help with deposits, furniture, or moving costs?

If you’re moving from shelter, institution, or provider-operated housing into your own lease, you may qualify for one-time moving assistance (often up to $3,000, per payer/program rules). We’ll check eligibility and help with the process.

How long does it take to get housed?

Timelines vary by unit availability, preferences, documentation, and screening. Our goal is to move quickly—many clients secure housing in weeks, while some take longer due to market or screening factors.

What is “Housing Sustaining” support?

After you move in, we help you keep your home: lease renewals, recerts, budgeting, landlord communication, and early eviction-prevention steps. We also connect you with community and cultural supports.

What are your sober living homes like?

They’re drug- and alcohol-free, structured environments with curfew, meetings, chores, and random testing. Residents receive peer support, life-skills coaching, and planning for independent housing.

Do you offer assisted living housing?

We lease homes long-term to licensed assisted living operators (minimum 3-year terms). Properties feature accessible layouts and are delivered move-in ready; operators handle daily care and operations.

Is Safe Bridge a nonprofit?

We’re a Minnesota for-profit company providing HSS-aligned services and housing solutions. We do not accept tax-deductible donations and are transparent about our entity type and pricing.

What languages and accessibility supports do you provide?

We provide interpreters upon request and reasonable accommodations (e.g., accessible meeting locations, alternative formats). If you need an accommodation, tell us when you contact us.
