The Mino Oski Ain Dah Yung Center is a 42-unit supportive housing project on University Avenue in St. Paul and is geared toward homeless, American Indian young adults between the ages of 18 and 24. Developed in partnership between the Ain Dah Yung Center and Project for Pride in Living, this four-story, 50,000 SF project aims to help young adults reconnect with their culture and learn to live independently. The property features gathering spaces for cultural ceremonies, workshops for bead-working and drum-making, a sweat lodge, a sacred medicine garden, classrooms, a technology center, job training, and other support services.
This project included financing through various public and private entities and was completed in late 2019.
