Children are the face of Minnesota's homeless.
On any given day, 70% of our guests are kids - newborns to teens.
The Family Place is the only day shelter for families with children in Ramsey County, MN.
We offer safety, opportunities and encouragement to help move our guest families from despair to hope, from uncertainty to stability.

MPR News Broadcasts "Margaret Lovejoy's Family Place"
On January 5, MPR News broadcast an interview with Executive Director Margaret Lovejoy about The Family Place and its important role in the community.
"I heard a child one cold January morning say to his mother, 'How will I find you after school?'" Margaret Lovejoy remembers.
The child was homeless. The words were jarring. And Lovejoy was spurred to look beyond sadness and pity. Today, The Family Place, a St. Paul daytime drop in center for the homeless, stands as a testament to how she strives to help those who often don't have anyone else in the community to turn to.
