CLIFTON PLACE

Supportive Housing for Men Exiting Prison

CALL (612) 813-5006
236 Clifton Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403​
What is Clifton Place?
In 1971, Robbie Robinson founded 180 Degrees, Inc. and the Clifton Place Program.  Robinson, a man who spent twenty years in and out of prison, wanted to improve the odds for other ex-offenders. With the help of his parole officer and other "experts" like himself, Robinson mapped out a plan for a residential program providing services needed by clients just like him.  180 Degrees' first Board of Directors included Robinson and other ex-offenders.  They opened Clifton Place in 1973 in a stately red-brick mansion, once home to the founders of General Mills. 

Today, nearly fifty years later, Clifton Place has assisted over 9,000 men with their transition back to the community, their families, and their new lives.

Providing short-term affordable housing in a 37-bed residence, structured programming, and case management, clients are supported to secure stable employment, maintain  sobriety, and establish new living arrangements. Enter program description here.

Services are free and designed to meet the unique needs of men who have completed their prison sentence and are returning to their communities. ​

“Clifton Place has been giving me a real stepping stone. I have a good-paying job and I’ve learned how to manage the responsibility of having bills, real bills, and getting the chance to help myself.”
-- former Clifton Place Resident

“I work for those that are looking for a fresh,
non-judgmental, and supportive start in our community
after coming out of a period of incarceration.”
