CloseKnit

CloseKnit Our breakthrough approach sees all youth facing homelessness as already loved, including youth from underestimated and under-resourced communities.

Closeknit catalizes system change building a holistic response that overcomes systematic barriers in order to honor and invest in existing chosen family arrangements that prevent youth homelessness. CloseKnit is a 501c3 nonprofit based in Minnesota building a holistic response to youth homelessness that honors and invests in existing “chosen family” arrangements. We work to shift the mindset of po

licy makers and community partners to champion racially equitable solutions for youth and their caring support networks. Visit CloseKnit.us to learn more and support our system-change work!
