The Minnesota Veterans Home Hastings is one of five Veterans Homes in the state of Minnesota and provides Domiciliary accommodations.
The supportive housing would provide transitional housing for Veterans with an average age of 55. The projected length of stay varies from short to long term. The occupants will have access to the Earth, Fire, Water Path support program to help them regain independence in their lives.
The building was designed in two 30-unit phases with all one-bedroom apartments and common and support spaces. There are small gathering spaces on each floor and a large multi-purpose space on the main floor to encourage social re-introduction. The units are designed to be flexible to accommodate future combinations to create two-bedroom and efficiency options as the need arises. The building is designed to meet all the accessibility requirements of the state and the Veterans.
