We believe homelessness is not a choice and, given the opportunity for safe, affordable housing, everyone prefers a permanent place to live. Brightwater Health’s Homeless Program serves individuals in Duluth who are homeless, have a mental illness, and may have health problems and substance abuse issues. We provide community outreach to locate people experiencing homelessness and assist them in obtaining and keeping permanent housing. We also provide case management, employment assistance, transportation, benefits assistance, and crisis intervention.
