Multicultural Care Center I is dedicated to providing culturally appropriate, person-centered housing and supportive services for individuals in need, with a particular focus on single adults, single-parent households with small children, and newly arrived immigrant families who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless. The core philosophy at Multicultural Care Center I is built around person-centeredness, which is integrated into every aspect of daily operations. Each client is approached with dignity and respect, regardless of their race, age, or background, in alignment with the center’s mission and vision to help clients achieve their highest potential for stability and independence.
A key offering at Multicultural Care Center I is its involvement in Housing Stabilization Services, a Minnesota Medical Assistance benefit tailored for people with disabilities—including those with mental illness and substance use disorders—as well as seniors. This service assists these individuals in finding and maintaining housing, with the ultimate goal of reducing institutionalization and preventing homelessness. The center provides Housing Consulting, Transition, and Sustaining services, with room and board programs that are specifically designed for seniors and adults with disabilities. Through these supportive housing solutions, Multicultural Care Center I seeks to enable clients to rebuild their lives and establish connections within their communities.
In addition to housing-focused services, Multicultural Care Center I offers Targeted Case Management, a Medical Assistance benefit that aids people transitioning from eligible institutions into community-based living. This program supports adults with mental health or behavioral challenges by helping them locate and maintain independent living situations within the community. Services are centered around the client's home environment and the broader community, reinforcing the center’s commitment to individualized care. The staff works closely with clients, providing support and training in various community living service categories for adults aged 18 and older residing in a provider-controlled ICS setting.
A practical aspect of the support provided by Multicultural Care Center I includes assistance with general cleaning, household management, and activities of daily living. The team is carefully selected, vetted, and trained to embody the organization’s core values and to deliver high-quality, compassionate care. This approach not only addresses immediate needs such as housing and daily living assistance but also empowers clients to regain independence and participate actively in their communities. Ultimately, Multicultural Care Center I stands as a supportive, inclusive environment where clients are equipped with the tools and resources needed for a more secure and fulfilling life.
