Who We Are
Clare Housing is a Minneapolis-based non-profit agency that provides affordable housing with services to 300 neighbors living with HIV/ AIDS. Those who live with us have often experienced systemic and individual harm and discrimination, so we commit to ensuring that living at Clare Housing feels healing, empowering, dignifying, and connective. This goal is not achievable without the partnership of neighbors and friends from the broader community (such as you!).
The Opportunity
It’s sometimes the little things that help you feel at home after a move: eating from a favorite bowl, sipping a warm cup of coffee in the morning, or dancing in a freshly-cleaned living space.
Folks often move in to Clare Housing with some personal items, but not all they need to set up their new homes. While we can connect them to furniture, we invite our community to welcome new residents by providing some other household essentials.
The total cost of putting together a welcome basket of new items is about $500, with each one including:
For a complete list of items, check out our Target Registry at https://www.target.com/gift-registry/gift/clare-welcome-baskets. Items purchased do not need to be the exact ones in the registry, but each type of item must be included in the basket (e.g. - towels do not need to be Room Essentials brand, but towels must be included).
Please reach out if you and/or your organization would like to put some baskets together (this is a great opportunity for groups!); we would be so glad to have your support in welcoming our new neighbors home!

Clare Housing provides a continuum of affordable and supportive housing options that create healing communities and optimize the health of people living with HIV/AIDS. We envision an AIDS-free world built on a foundation of equitable access to housing and health care.
Founded in 1987, Clare Housing has created an enduring legacy of providing affordable, supportive housing and compassionate care for people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS. Our person-focused programs are designed to bring together strategies of harm reduction, treatment and care to enhance quality of life and reduce new infections in our community.
Over the last several decades Clare Housing has grown from one residence serving four people to developing, owning, and managing seven residential programs accommodating more than 150 people. Responding to the rapidly changing complexity of the disease, we advance programs and new solutions that address the full-continuum of HIV-related housing needs in our community, with the goal of ending homelessness among individuals living with HIV.
