A safe place to spend the night

The Higher Ground Shelter provides a safe place to stay for single men experiencing homelessness.

Shelter guests can access a hot dinner, connect with housing case managers, and receive medical care from Hennepin County Healthcare for the Homeless.

Pay-for-Stay beds, open 24/7, are available for $7/night. Up to $500 will be held in trust to be used as a rental deposit when guests move into permanent housing.

Help in Action:

Lending a hand in the kitchens

Preparing and serving meals is one of the core ways that Catholic Charities engages volunteers, with options for individual day shifts and group volunteering sessions.

In 2023, our volunteers provided nearly half a million dollars’ worth of donated time through our meal service programs alone.
