Ascension Place, Inc. operates two programs in North Minneapolis, Ascension Place and St. Anne’s Place. The organization was founded in 1981 and has continued to expand its services since that time. Ascension Place opened its doors in 1981 to provide women with a supportive living environment. Then in 1990, St. Anne’s Place was founded as demand grew for a short-term emergency shelter for women with children.  Our clients primarily come from the Twin Cities metro area.

Our mission is simple: to provide women in crisis or transition with a stable environment and the opportunity to explore options for their future. Our goal at both facilities is to provide a supportive living environment, while instilling in our clients the self-confidence and skills that will enable them to face the world again.

Ascension Place, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.  We are not a religious organization nor do we have affiliations with any religious groups.  Ascension Place, Inc. is fortunate to receive support from many private and corporate foundations, churches, local businesses, community organizations, and caring individuals.
