STAR House is a crisis nursery which exists to provide a temporary home away from home for children and supportive services to uplift and strengthen the entire family.
August 2024: We received approval of our building code review from the city of Saint Paul! We're now onto a new phase of operations. As we transition our focus from opening our doors to actively serving families, we are thrilled to share some important leadership changes. A familiar face will be moving into the Executive Director role and we are welcoming a couple new board members!
July 2024: We are doing something new in Saint Paul! And doing something new sometimes comes with extra challenges.
Since there wasn't a precedent for an overnight crisis nursery in the city, zoning was initially unsure how to classify us. However, we have now received approval to operate under a childcare designation and are cleared to move forward with our building plans!
Onward!
Please take a minute to send an email, a postcard, or make a phone call to one of our local government officials. To make it easy for you, we have provided names, contact information, and an email draft on our website!
"A new nonprofit is opening its doors to young children in Ramsey County who need a temporary home away from home. [...] The nonprofit aims to offer temporary shelter if needed so that children can have support and shelter for up to 72 hours at a time."
