We all need a place to call home.
Our safe, affordable housing helps young adults emerge from homelessness.
Onward House is located in a comfortable Eden Prairie neighborhood near shopping and mass transportation. It has a relaxing common space with a living room, dining room, kitchen, deck, yard, and four private bedrooms for residents.
It falls into the category of transitional housing, as opposed to permanent housing. Residents stay in our home for an average of 10 - 24 months. We serve up to four residents at a time.
We currently serve female-identifying and non-binary young adults between the ages of 18 and 24.
All residents must meet these qualifications in order to rent a space in our home.
Be under the age of 22 when you move in (you can live in the house up to age 24)
Have a job and/or be enrolled in school
Agree to work with a case manager to actively pursue employment, education, and life goals

Fact
Young adults who are homeless are at a high risk of becoming adults who are homeless. More than half (52%) of adults surveyed first became homeless by the time they were age 24, and over one-third (36%) first became homeless at or before age 18.
Our spaces are cozy and comfortable.
