   Changing lives 
​ is what we take pride in

​​Dakota Woodlands believes everyone deserves an opportunity for a fresh start and to address their life’s complications in a safe and compassionate environment.  Located in Eagan, Minnesota Dakota Woodlands can assist 22 homeless families at one time with housing and training that includes life skills, financial literacy, and personal wellness.  The award winning program at Dakota Woodlands is known for its homey atmosphere, personal attention, and successful “one shelter stay” for its residents.  After leaving the shelter, over 92% of the residents who participate in the full program succeed in staying stably housed.   ​
Lift Us Up!

​Dakota Woodlands needs your help!  We have embarked on a challenge that requires an outreach of support.  An unexpected elevator repair with an exorbitant price tag has impacted the community at the Shelter.  
We are trying to raise  $27,000. 

​As of 6/16/2021...
​ we received $21,769.53 towards this goal!

Thank you!

DAKOTA WOODLANDS - LEADERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT 
​A MESSAGE FROM OUR BOARD CHAIR, STEVE ZWEBER ​
​
​On behalf of the board of directors, I am happy to announce that we’ve selected Jennifer Harrison to be the new Executive Director of Dakota Woodlands.  The board is grateful for Beth Bromen, who has led Dakota Woodlands for more than a decade, but has planned to retire this year. Beth is leaving Dakota Woodlands financially and operationally stable. On this firm foundation, we are excited to grow into the future under Jennifer’s leadership.  Jennifer’s appointment comes at the end of a thorough recruitment process in which we sought a skilled nonprofit leader with a passion for serving families and who has a welcoming, inclusive style.  She will begin her leadership role effective June 14. She will work through a successful
transition with Beth throughout the month of June.     ... To continue reading, see our blog...
