We're proud to be Agate!

Happy #pride! Despite the work that has been done and the progress that has been made, LGBTQIA2S+ people in our community are still unsafe in places they should be welcome. Agate continues to advocate for our staff and those we serve who are part of the queer community.

Today, we celebrate Juneteenth. It is a commemoration of the day in 1865 when news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached enslaved people in Galveston, TX. Two years later. On Juneteenth, & every day, we recommit ourselves to the work of equity, equality, & justice.

Our Welcome Center at 2309 Nicollet is closed today (June 4) for repairs. We'll see you tomorrow!

The interesting end of the 2024 #mnleg session marks the end of the biennium. While 2024 may have felt a bit status quo, it was an incredible biennium for housing. Read MHP's session recap focusing on the housing article in this year's omnibus bill:

Mateo and Daniel were homeless but found safety and stability in Agate's couples shelter, where they could stay together. Now, they're working on finding a new home! Your generosity and kindness made their next steps possible. Thank you!

Studies of the state of homelessness continue to show that there are not enough shelter beds for our unhoused neighbors. Housing is a human right and our neighbors need your help to ensure it's available to all.

Gerri lived outside in Boise. She knows that her experience of homelessness does not make her a criminal. As Justice Sotomayor asked during the #JohnsonVGrantsPass hearing, where will the homeless population go if every city in the country lacks compassion? #HousingNotHandcuffs

Earlier this week, @scottsphoto stopped by to capture portraits of the incredible people who are using Agate resources to find housing, food and so much more!
