When you’re struggling—really struggling—it can feel like the world shuts its doors. Rent’s due, your phone’s off, you haven’t eaten in a day, and people look through you like you don’t exist. In moments like these, information becomes survival. That’s why the Minneapolis Handbook to the Streets is more than just a resource guide—it’s a lifeline.

Created for the unhoused, low-income, or at-risk individuals in the Twin Cities, this handbook is packed with real, usable information: where to get food today, which shelters are open, how to access mental health services, transportation, free clinics, legal help, and more. It isn’t just a list of numbers—it’s a map through the chaos.

Whether you’re couch-hopping, fresh out of jail, fleeing abuse, or just trying to make it through the week, this handbook meets you where you are. It doesn’t ask for ID, insurance, or perfection. It just gives you what you need.

In a world that often pretends not to see you, The Handbook to the Streets says: “We do.” And that matters.
