Who We Are
Clare Housing is a Minneapolis-based non-profit agency that provides affordable housing with services to 300 neighbors living with HIV/ AIDS. Those who live with us have often experienced systemic and individual harm and discrimination, so we commit to ensuring that living at Clare Housing feels healing, empowering, dignifying, and connective. This goal is not achievable without the partnership of neighbors and friends from the broader community (such as you!).
The Opportunity
Residents in our Scattered Site program receive a rental subsidy and live independently in homes throughout the Twin Cities Metro area. The program provides a high amount of dignified choice and independence, which sometimes means folks move to communities that are not conveniently located to resources in the city centers (food shelves, county offices, etc.).
In particular, we have many participants who are members of The Aliveness Project, a partner organization serving neighbors living with HIV. Aliveness runs an excellent, high-quality food shelf in South Minneapolis, which some of our participants aren’t easily able to get to.
Help folks access this amazing resource by serving as a Transportation Aide! Our case management staff will schedule food shelf appointments with residents, and you’ll provide the wheels to get there (along with companionship and connection, of course!).

Mission Statement
Clare Housing provides a continuum of affordable and supportive housing options that create healing communities and optimize the health of people living with HIV/AIDS. We envision an AIDS-free world built on a foundation of equitable access to housing and health care.
Description
Founded in 1987, Clare Housing has created an enduring legacy of providing affordable, supportive housing and compassionate care for people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS. Our person-focused programs are designed to bring together strategies of harm reduction, treatment and care to enhance quality of life and reduce new infections in our community.
Over the last several decades Clare Housing has grown from one residence serving four people to developing, owning, and managing seven residential programs accommodating more than 150 people. Responding to the rapidly changing complexity of the disease, we advance programs and new solutions that address the full-continuum of HIV-related housing needs in our community, with the goal of ending homelessness among individuals living with HIV.
