Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP)
Our Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) works with families to move towards self-sufficiency. We guide participants through the entire process of finding a job and offer them personal support along the way.
We provide employment services to MFIP participants residing in Hennepin County, with referrals coming from Hennepin County. We have two office locations — one on Broadway Avenue in North East Minneapolis and another at the Center for Changing Lives on Park Avenue in South Minneapolis.
