Southside Services was established as a 501 (c)3 non-profit in 1974 to meet the needs of a growing population of Minneapolis inner-city adults with cognitive and other developmental disabilities who were de-institutionalized. People with disabilities have increasingly integrated into mainstream society, moving into smaller semi-independent living arrangements such as group homes and living independently with limited support. For the past 43 years, Southside Services has provided an important safety net for a population that is at great risk for homelessness, crime victimization, chronic unemployment, substance abuse, social isolation and chronic health concerns. This history shapes Southside Services' identity today.
Our mission is to enhance the capacity of adults and youth with cognitive and other developmental disabilities to become increasingly active, contributing members of their community.
