Model Cities has secured a new location for Safe Space Shelter at Central Baptist Church in Saint Paul.
This pivotal milestone comes after a call was put out to community earlier this summer for help after another relocation partnership fell through, leaving the future of Safe Space and those that relied upon its services unknown.
Safe Space Shelter is a referral-based overnight shelter operated by Model Cities. Safe Space is open year-round 10 p.m. to 9 a.m. All guests require reservations. Reservations are made by Ramsey County’s Shelter Entry & Diversion Team. Community partners or people in need of emergency shelter can contact the team for assistance.
Safe Space launched in 2019 by Model Cities as a year-round shelter with support by Ramsey County. In 2023, the partners began to seek a new location for Safe Space as the county finalized plans to close the Government Center East building and prepare it for sale.
