A Facility for the People
The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) provides health care, economic assistance, and other services for people who do not have the resources to meet their basic needs so they can live with dignity and achieve their highest potential.

Through a simple elegance, the new facility reflects the gravity and dignity of the DHS mission and symbolizes a shift to a higher standard of living for those who take advantage of its programs. Informed and driven by a single focus – people – the new home for DHS is designed to engage and invite employees, clients, and neighbors through the use of green spaces, soft colors, and a light-filled lobby.
