About Us

Any Path Home is a collective impact community initiative to end homelessness in Olmsted County, Minnesota. We are committed to working together to ensure that everyone in Olmsted County has a home.

We believe…

  • Housing is a right, not a privilege.

  • Ending homelessness benefits everyone.

  • Homelessness is a systems failure, and the burden of the solution should fall back on the system.

  • Collaboration and partnership are essential to effective solutions.

  • Diversity of experience and influence strengthens our collective impact.

Any Path Home pursues our shared purpose by adhering to best practices, and shared values that guide system-wide coordination, decision-making, and collective action.

Initiative Overview

Any Path Home is a county-wide initiative designed to prevent and end homelessness in Olmsted County. It brings together public agencies, nonprofit organizations, people with lived expertise, and community partners to align efforts, share responsibility, and improve housing outcomes for people experiencing homelessness.

Ending homelessness in Olmsted County requires we have a unified homeless response system that brings together national best practices to identify, assist, and provide housing for people experiencing homelessness so that it’s rare, brief, and non-recurring.
