Healthy Homes

Healthy Homes in Saint Paul, MN is a non-profit organization that provides emergency housing and assistance to individuals and families escaping domestic or sexual violence. Their trained advocates offer emotional support, safety planning, referrals to community resources, and help navigating the court system. They also have specialized Family Youth Advocates who work with children and their caregivers, providing support groups, education on the effects of violence and trauma, assistance with educational goals, and coordination of family fun activities.

The organization's history dates back to 1979 when the B. Robert Lewis House first opened its doors, named after Minnesota State Senator B. Robert Lewis. Senator Lewis played a significant role in authoring legislation to aid women in abusive relationships and combat family violence. The home was purchased with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding and has since evolved into the current Healthy Homes organization, dedicated to promoting safety, support, and prevention in the community.
