About Us

Any Path Home is a community initiative to solve homelessness in Olmsted County, Minnesota.

Initiative Overview

Any Path Home is a countywide collective impact initiative designed to prevent and end homelessness in Olmsted County. It brings together public agencies, nonprofit organizations, people with lived experience, and community partners to align efforts, share responsibility, and improve housing outcomes for people experiencing homelessness, with a clear focus on those in literal homeless situations.

Ending homelessness in Olmsted County means 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-occurring.

We achieve this when the number of people exiting homelessness into housing is greater than the number of people entering it, and everyone experiencing homelessness is identified and connected with within 30 days.

Any Path Home is part of Community Solutions’ Built for Zero national movement.

Our Work

Local History

Any Path Home began as a result of partners coming together to discuss enhanced collaboration. While individual agencies were doing great work, they recognized that more could be achieved while working together to transform the system.
