Although Metro State does not offer traditional on-campus housing, our Resource Center can get students connected to community agencies that can help with locating affordable housing options. For assistance with housing resources, contact student.parentcenter@metrostate.edu.
Here are some resources that can get you started with your housing search:
- Housing Link: offers information regarding affordable and public housing options. Also provides free resources, tips, and handouts to help renters when searching for affordable housing.
- Housing Benefits 101: not sure where to start in your housing search, try this website and use the many tools available to help you find a safe and affordable housing option.
Students who are facing a housing emergency and need to locate a safe place in a short amount of time can connect with one of the community agencies below:
- Youth Services Network (YSN): helping youth, ages 16–24, find shelter and programs
- Catholic Charities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis: offers help with locating shelter, food, housing, and more
- MN Department of Human Services: offers support with housing for homeless or highly mobile individuals/families including financial programs to help them get back on their feet
