Robbinsdale Area Schools has partnered with Hennepin County for the Schools to Housing program. The program works to combat homelessness among families with young children.

Families are referred to the program through a social worker, district staff member, community partner, or as a self-referral. Once families enroll, they will be able to access the Hennepin County Housing Navigator who can help assist families with their housing needs and connect to other resources.

Early Learning families looking for additional information about this program should reach out to the Early Learning School Social Worker, Amanda Talan, at 763-504-4164 or amanda_talan@rdale.org.
