Welcoming Simpson Housing Services to Lyndale Neighborhood

November 14, 2022 By Sarah

While writing this notice, carpenters and electricians and HVAC installers are buzzing about the former Zion Church building, getting it ready to welcome Simpson Housing staff and guests in early December. Before Simpson officially opens their doors, they want to invite Lyndale neighbors to come tour their new temporary space!

An Open House/House Warming date and time will be announced soon, and its timing will occur post-construction and pre-operation. If you want to receive a special invite to tour the new Simpson Housing Extended Stay Shelter which will be housed at 128 West 33rd Street simply fill out this form https://forms.office.com/r/cmpXz6YPYp or call 612.455.0841.

Like a regular house warming, there will be snacks and drinks provided, as well as a chance to talk with current volunteers and to sign up for future volunteer opportunities, including preparing and serving food to guests. We hope you will come and join Simpson Housing and the Lyndale Neighborhood Association at their Open House/House Warming Event!

–Steve Horsfield,

Executive Director, Simpson Housing Services

Got a Nose for News and an Interest in History? Volunteers needed!

October 29, 2022 By Sarah

We are looking for some history hounds to help us go through the archives of both Kingfield and Lyndale neighborhoods. We are partnering with the Hennepin County Library archival program, and in preparation for working with them, we need some help sorting through the boxes of paper dating back to the 1990s. We’d love to find people with an interest in the neighborhood’s history and good eye for what we should keep (but we will give some guidelines, too) to get things organized to hand off to the library.

If you are interested in helping, or learning more, please contact Nicole ().
