Clare Midtown

Opened in March 2011, Clare Midtown provides 45 units of safe, affordable housing and supportive services for people living with HIV/AIDS.



The facility includes eight units for persons who have experienced long-term homelessness and eleven units for persons at risk of homelessness. Clare Midtown is located at 3105 23rd Avenue South in the Corcoran neighborhood of Minneapolis near the Hiawatha Light Rail Station. These residents will receive the following services:

  • 24/7 front desk security
  • A resident services coordinator who will provide information, support, referrals and advocacy
  • Assisted living and nursing services
  • Special features – gardens, natural light, space for loved ones to visit.
    These elements will provide a sense of warmth and beauty, allowing residents to live fully no matter where their journey with HIV takes them.

Located within walking distance of retail outlets, human service providers and public transportation, the site is ideal for our clients, staff and volunteers and the project has strong support from the Corcoran neighborhood in which it is located.

Just like the residents of Clare Apartments, those living in Clare Midtown will be at different places in their journey with HIV/AIDS, some needing intensive care, some working and paying rent, and others living at various stages of independence with varying need for support.
