Instead of leaving our neighbors to survive brutal Minnesota winters on the streets, Minneapolis funded a groundbreaking solution.
An old warehouse was transformed into Avivo Village—a revolutionary indoor community of 100 private tiny homes.
This is far more than an emergency shelter. It is a secure sanctuary where residents instantly access life-changing support under one single roof.
By combining stable housing with mental health care, addiction recovery, career counseling, and direct pathways to permanent homes, the nonprofit Avivo is doing what once seemed impossible.Supported by a powerful coalition of public and private funding, this village has already helped hundreds of people transition off the streets, proving that with dignity, resources, and safety, people can successfully rebuild their lives.
