Nexus Family Healing to continue providing emergency youth shelter services

Posted

The Washington County Board of Commissioners at its Dec. 17 meeting renewed a contract with Nexus Family Healing to provide emergency youth shelter services at Aspen House Youth Shelter Dec. 17.
The contract, not to exceed $815,000, is for a two-year term starting Jan. 1, 2025, and expiring Dec. 31, 2026.
In 2021, the County Board approved a one-time capital expenditure to use American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to partner with Dakota County to acquire a property in Mendota Heights to be used for Aspen House Youth Shelter and be licensed as a Children's Residential Facility. Washington County entered into a contract with Nexus Family Healing on Aug. 2, 2022, as a service provider for this facility. The contract with Nexus Family Healing was set to expire Dec. 31, 2024.
In July 2024, Dakota County released a Request for Proposals for Youth Shelter Support Services and Maintenance of Shelter Site and selected Nexus Family Healing to continue as the service provider for Aspen House Youth Shelter.
