Our History |
180 Degrees was incorporated in 1971. In 1973, we opened the doors to our half-way house in Minneapolis for men re-entering community after incarceration. This residential program supports men in their transition back into the community, providing short-term housing and services to help them secure stable employment, maintain sobriety, and establish new living arrangements.
