St. Barnabas Apartments
St. Barnabas Apartments opened in April 2005 and provides 39 efficiencies for homeless and at-risk youth and 13 for low-income working adults. The convenient downtown Minneapolis location is near employment opportunities and public transit lines.
The building was a 1910 addition to St. Barnabas Hospital, originally built in 1871. It had been vacant for decades when Allina Hospitals and Clinics donated it to Aeon in 2001. Aeon preserved the distinctive red brick exterior of the building and rebuilt the interior, creating a new building in a historic "skin."
The first floor of the building serves youth residents with a community kitchen, computer resource room, and offices for YouthLink, the organization providing supportive services for youth residents. The second to fourth floors are 39 efficiency apartments for youth. The fifth floor, accessed through a separate entrance, provides 13 efficiency apartments for adults earning low incomes.
Aeon was honored for St. Barnabas with the 2005 Children's Leadership Award from The Sheltering Arms Foundation.
