Our Overview
Elim Transitional Housing, Inc. is a Minneapolis, Minnesota based transitional housing program that offers affordable housing opportunities to people experiencing homelessness, doubled up, or living in substandard housing. We also work with people who are at risk of becoming homeless.
We serve over 6,000 people per year within the metropolitan area of Minneapolis and St. Paul through our programs and services. Our housing programs include prevention, screening, rapid exit, transitional housing, permanent housing and permanent supportive housing, and tenant based rental assistance.
WRAP vs. Federal Funding
WRAP has been vocal in creating awareness for the growth in the number of homeless people resulting from dramatic cuts in Federal funding for affordable housing, health care, education and employment initiatives.

Holiday Spirit 2009
Once again ETH is seeking sponsors for our annual Sharing The Holiday Spirit Campaign. Sponsors agree to "adopt" individuals or families who are currently in our programs, reaching out to them during this Holiday Season, providing gifts and a sense of community to them.
In the past we here at Elim Transitional Housing have been impressed and gratified at the caring response to our annual program to provide families with joy and happiness during the holiday season. The generosity and thoughtfulness of those individuals and groups who participated allowed our case managers and advocates to brighten the lives of many families and individuals during this most important season. We are grateful for this continued support from our caring community.
Please consider joining this project this year!
