Abstract
Description
Whittier, Stevens Square, and Loring Park neighborhoods in Minneapolis expressed concerns about the concentration of supportive housing and social services in their neighborhoods. These concerns included impacts on community livability, the safety of vulnerable populations, and potential adverse effects on neighborhood development and revitalization efforts. In 2001 the Plymouth Church Neighborhood Foundation proposed a 40-unit facility (Lydia House) for a former nursing home site on LaSalle Avenue. A joint task force of the Whittier Alliance and Stevens Square Community Organization (SSCO) determined that the existing concentration of supportive housing is already extreme, especially when compared to the city as a whole. To support the work of the Task Force, the Whittier Alliance collected data on supportive housing facilities and mapped both City and neighborhood recognized sites and their relationships to the proposed site on LaSalle.
