New Home. Same Hope.

In partnership with the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Duluth, and with support from the  City of Duluth and St. Louis County, the Mission is in the process of relocating to a larger space to better accommodate our existing programming and further increase our services to the Northland. 

The future Mission Engagement Center will offer a safe, welcoming environment for our neighbors in need. It will include:

  • A new commercial kitchen
  • A dining hall
  • A drop-in center with the capacity to expand into an overnight warming center
  • Hygiene facilities
  • Laundry facilities
  • Healthcare services
  • Counseling and service providers
  • And even more community amenities 

Additionally, plans also include the future Mission Heights Complex, which will provide 40 units of permanent supportive housing.

The three-year process of transitioning to our new space will begin in 2025. Throughout the process, we are dedicated to honoring our century of service in the Northland, while significantly improving the homeless emergency response system across our community.
