Redeemer Center for Life, a Lutheran ministry, will set up a housing security pipeline for Harrison residents in North Minneapolis, MN. In partnership with local artists and organizers, various theatre arts interventions – from posting yard signs that identify unconventional property assets to plays staged in houses – will erode neighborhood stratification and establish new relationships.

This Lutheran ministry has already shaped their community through the development of a bike repair shop, coffee shop, and several affordable housing rental units.
