About Periscope
The Periscope program serves young adults between the ages of 18-24 in Hennepin County who have experience in child welfare systems. This program assists participants in locating and maintaining stable housing within Hennepin County using local private landlords. Periscope also works with youth that are already housed and does not require previous incidents of homelessness to qualify.
In addition to housing, the program also provides trauma informed and strength based supportive services for youth that include, but are not limited to: case management, life skills education, assistance with education and employment, connections to mental and chemical health treatment, connections to health care services, positive youth development activities, and leadership development opportunities.
