City Council highlights Lake Street Safety Center's community resources
The Minneapolis City Council held a meeting focused on the Lake Street Safety Center, a community facility at 2228 East Lake Street that provides residents with social services, substance use support, and other vital resources.
The Lake Street Safety Center serves as a welcoming hub for Minneapolis residents seeking help with a range of challenges. Located at 2228 East Lake Street near the Lake Street Midtown light rail station and the Lake Street and 21st Avenue South bus stop, the center is designed to be easily accessible to the community.
The facility offers multiple services under one roof. Residents can access referrals for social services, get connected with substance use support programs, and obtain free resources like NARCAN® (a medication that reverses opioid overdoses) and gunlocks. The center also assists local businesses and property owners with security and lighting concerns, helping address neighborhood safety issues.
Additionally, the center supports students and families dealing with school-related challenges, including truancy issues. For those needing to file non-emergency police reports, the center provides a dedicated space to do so without having to visit a police station.
The council's focus on this facility underscores the city's commitment to creating accessible community spaces that address multiple needs in one location. By situating the center near public transportation, the city has made it easier for residents without cars to access these services.
