A new home for Exodus

After 25 years at its current location in downtown Minneapolis, Exodus Residence will soon more than double the number of rooms available to people experiencing homeless at its new home in Elliot Park. The newly renovated building will help people who are chronically homeless, including veterans and those in recuperative care.

What is being called “Exodus 2.0” for now, will also be the new home for our administrative and shared services staff, our Aging and Disability Services, a Health Care for the Homeless Clinic operated by the county and permanent housing and recuperative care beds for 203 men and women who need housing stability, many of whom are older and medically frail, including many veterans. We answer some frequently asked questions here.
