Please join me in celebrating Julie on her 1-YEAR Workaversary as Solid Ground MN’s Grants Manager! 😊 Julie has been an amazing addition to our Advancement Team. She brought us her excellent grant writing skills, diverse expertise across all aspects of fundraising, a sunny disposition, and willing heart to jump in wherever needed. Julie was hired as our grant writer, but was promoted early on to our Grants Manager, where she is diving into all aspects of grant writing and managing – all our public and private grants, which is a huge part of our budget. We are lucky to have her dedication and passion directed toward creating effective and compelling narratives for our funders and partners! Julie, we are so grateful to have you on our team!

Helping families build strong foundations
About us
Founded in the late 1980s, Solid Ground is an award-winning nonprofit whose proven, holistic approach helps families build the strong foundations they need to emerge from homelessness into a brighter future. Committed to the ‘Housing First’ philosophy, Solid Ground moves families out of homelessness and into housing first, then provides person-centered, holistic support and services essential for long-term stability. We currently operate eight supportive housing programs throughout Ramsey and Washington Counties housing over 500 women, men, and children annually. Our mission is to prevent and end homelessness for families with children in the communities we serve through housing, resources, and opportunity. Our vision is that every family has a safe and affordable home, where parents and children thrive in school, at work and in their community and can achieve their goals and dreams. Our core values include: Person-Centered, Equity & Inclusion, Integrity, Community.

“I was raising my daughters all by myself since they were 1 and 3. It was really hard. We fell on hard times and were in a few shelters. I was very lucky to have the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veteran’s help me find permanent housing with Solid Ground." Paul and his two daughters live at HomeFront, Solid Ground MN's housing program for veterans and their families experiencing homelessness. Paul says "It impacted us greatly to have solid, stable housing. My military background is something I carry with me every day - being homeless has been really tough, but with everyone's help, I'm emerging from it and I'm very grateful."
