The Junior League of Saint Paul’s current initiative “Stable Housing, Thriving Communities” will focus community outreach efforts with a more specific emphasis on women and children by working through one or more of the following strategies:

• Increase the number of low-income homeowners who are able to obtain or maintain their own homes and remain housing stable
• Expand resources available to low-income renters with the intent to improve housing stability
• Raise community awareness regarding housing concerns and foster advocacy for affordable and stable housing resources

It’s no secret: our Twin Cities community is facing a crisis of affordable housing. Many families in our community are struggling to provide a safe and stable home.

You can help!

JLSP Volunteer Opportunities:

Our member calendar shows all currently planned volunteer opportunities, the most recent one being move in & cleaning kit donation & packing at Neighborhood House which also included a tour and learning more about their expansive organization. They shared multiple ways our volunteers could be involved further if they chose to do so including helping kids learn to read, use their meeting rooms for community events, donate winter clothing, professional clothing, etc. based on their needs at the time.
