Creating pathways to stable housing
We provide essential transitional and supportive housing assistance to individuals and families in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Our programs ensure that everyone has access to a safe and stable place to call home, a fundamental step towards rebuilding their lives and fostering independence.
Empowering through employment and education
Our comprehensive job readiness training and employment placement services equip individuals with the skills and opportunities they need for sustainable careers.

Supporting second chances and recovery
IdaMae's Second Chance is dedicated to supporting formerly incarcerated individuals with reentry into society, addressing limited job and housing opportunities.

Comprehensive care for all
Beyond our core programs, we extend our support to include senior independent living assistance and essential basic needs like food, clothing, and emergency funds. We strive to create a bridge for families who are overqualified for traditional assistance but still struggle, including members of the LGBTQ community, ensuring no one falls through the cracks.
