SHIP Collaborative-Stable Housing is Priority

🎉 Give to the MAX Day Campaign: Support SHIP’s Mission to End Homelessness 🎉

About Us

At SHIP (Stable Housing is Priority), we are united by a shared mission: to end homelessness and build equity in the fight for housing justice. Our members are not only advocates; they bring firsthand experiences that shape our understanding and deepen our commitment. We believe in the power of collective voices—voices that transform personal hardships into a driving force for change in the Twin Cities and beyond.

Through collaboration, we amplify our voices, turning each story of resilience into action that influences policy, changes perceptions, and reshapes lives. Housing justice is more than a mission for us; it’s a moral imperative. We envision a future where stable, equitable housing is a fundamental right for everyone, and together, we’re building that future every day.
