The Family Partnership, New Social Services Headquarters
USA
The Family Partnership is a community-based organization in Minneapolis, serving families of the community impacted by poverty and adverse circumstances. The vision for this project was to design a structure focused on the local neighborhood, community and the variety of ethnicities utilizing the services. In a neighborhood that sees challenges, this beautiful space represents a beacon of hope.
“When you’re coming in for services, often you’re in not a very good place in your life. You’re not feeling very good about yourself, and probably your family, and maybe life in general. So, to come to a place that says, ‘this is here for you.’ It’s saying, ‘You’re worth it, you’re worth something.” - Molly Greenman, President and CEO, The Family Partnership
