LivingWorks Ventures, in partnership with Vinland National Center, provides permanent supportive housing for individuals who are living with cognitive impairments and who are in recovery from substance abuse.
Lodge living is designed for people on a fixed income who can benefit from the extended support network the lodges provide.
Under minimal staff supervision, residents are responsible for creating a safe, stable, and healthy living environment.
On-site staff are professionals who serve as advisors to the lodge and its members and are always available in emergencies. Because the lodges are designed for people who need minimal amounts of support to remain independent, on-site staff is limited. Contact Gina Chamberlin - 763.210.6708/ GChamberlin@vinlandcenter.org or Paula Provost-Greene - 763.210.6709/ PaulaP@vinlandcenter.org with any Lodge questions.
LivingWorks’ lodges are up-to-date and well-maintained homes in established residential communities.
Each lodge is conveniently located near shopping and public transportation.
Lodges are unique among similar supportive housing options because each resident has a private bedroom. The lodges feature shared common areas to ensure a community atmosphere, providing residents with the opportunity to establish friendships and reinforce the network of support that is so important for lodge residents. Residents share in running the household, including chores like purchasing groceries and preparing meals. Residents participate, with lodge advisers, in establishing the house rules, while managing their own activities and finances.
