Homelessness doesn’t end when the sun comes up.
Welcome to the “living room of the streets.” We are The Listening House, a daytime shelter for people experiencing poverty, homelessness, and loneliness. Anyone who drops in can find safety, a hot cup of coffee, and a caring community to help or just listen.
Listening House Launches WORK NOW!
Listening House is excited to announce a new program created in coordination with Ramsey County and the St. Paul American Rescue Act Fund — the Saint Paul WORK NOW project! The one-year project is designed to provide unsheltered Ramsey County residents with sustainable work and income.

WHY ARE WE HERE?
Because our neighbors need us. Last year, over 4,873 sought support through us.
Our guests are typically folks experiencing homelessness, deep poverty, and/or isolation. Many experience multiple barriers to maintaining housing such as chronic physical and mental health conditions, and substance abuse disorder.
