Learn about the invisible scope of homelessness in the suburbs and about ways that congregations are making a difference in addressing this issue. Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative has partnered with Edina Community Lutheran Church in the development of “66 West”. 39 studio apartments will be built at 3330 66th Street. Supportive services will also be provided to previously homeless young adults who will be residents of “66 West”. Share in a discussion of how this particular partnership is functioning, and possibly consider ways for EMC to become involved.
