Our Mission
PERIS Foundation oversees and champions PERIS Hill, an intentional housing community in Hennepin County that supports and empowers young people who have experienced foster care to develop and thrive.
PERIS Hill is an innovative model created through research and with the guidance of a foster youth advisory council that incorporates supportive housing for young adults with experience of foster care into a larger affordable housing community.
At PERIS, our goal is to interrupt the foster care to homelessness pipeline through an environment of supported autonomy and interconnected independence.
This video, prepared for our grand opening in 2021, highlights PERIS’s innovative model of supportive housing.

At PERIS, our partners are essential to all we do. We’re thrilled to partner with Volunteers of American for property management at PERIS Hill and with YMCA of the North’s Youth and Family Services to provide supportive services for young adult residents.
