Founded in 1994, New Foundations is a non-profit organization located on St. Paul’s East Side that provides permanent, supportive, affordable housing and comprehensive on-site services for homeless dually diagnosed chemically dependent and mentally ill adults in recovery and their families.
Our mission is to work in partnership with New Foundations’ families and with the community to address the interconnected issues of addiction, mental illness, poverty, homelessness, and hopelessness.
Together we create a housing community where adults achieve education and employment goals, strengthen families, build relationships, and contribute to the community. Children reunite with parents, and each child gets support and nurturing to enhance emotional and physical health, succeed in school, develop friendships, connect with community, and believe in the future.
New Foundations is committed to providing supportive housing that:
- Models and nurtures a vibrant, healthy community
- Recognizes and reinforces family strengths, diversity, cultural values and traditions
- Establishes supportive, trusting relationships among residents and between residents and staff that are fundamental to families’ success.
