Get to Know Nicollet Square
Filed Under affordable housing, art, youth | Leave a Comment
Dear Neighbors-
I want you to have the powerful poem that Markita wrote to share her experience as a homeless youth. Her poem demonstrates her resiliency in the face of incredible challenges, which is what we see in so many tenants at Nicollet Square, our new supportive housing and employment program for young adults transitioning from homelessness or foster care.
If you have been able to tour Nicollet Square or join us for our grand opening we hope you were touched by the stories, photos and art of the youth who call it home. They are our constant inspiration to continue our work to create more affordable, supportive housing for the 2,500 youth who don’t have a place to go home to tonight.
If you’re asking yourself what you should do to help, we want you to know that one of the most important things you can do is to encourage others to get involved. Please ask your friends and colleagues to visit Nicollet Square to gain a deeper understanding about youth homelessness and to see what ending it is all about. If you haven’t had a chance to see it yourself, now’s the time. Our next tour dates are: June 21st from 4-5 p.m. and July 1st from 8:30-9:30am. To RSVP please email Takara at THenegar@plymouthfoundation.org or call 612-871-0890. Read more
