AEI Charity Project

Help us stock "Welcome Home" baskets for people moving into their first apartment after experiencing homelessness. Each basket is filled with household essentials, offering dignity and immediate support to ensure their journey to a stable, thriving life begins right at their new front door.

Each year, AEs value the opportunity to give back to the AEI host community through a chosen charity activity at AEI. For 2026, the AEI Advisory Board has selected Agate Housing + Services.

Agate Housing + Services specializes in providing a full continuum of housing solutions to address and end homelessness in Minneapolis and Hennepin County. They utilize proven models like Permanent Supportive Housing (long-term housing with intensive services) and Rapid Re-Housing (swiftly moving clients into independent housing with temporary rental aid). Additionally, they offer critical prevention services, including rent assistance and mediation, to stabilize households at risk of eviction. Agate's work ensures clients not only exit homelessness but also receive the sustained support necessary to maintain stable, independent living.
