Why People Incorporated?

People Incorporated is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt status nonprofit organization that serves people with mental illness in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul metro area. Founded in 1969, we operate 20 programs, including crisis residences, outpatient clinics, outreach to the homeless, residential treatment locations, case management, and in-home health services. 

Helping people with mental illness requires great flexibility and creativity.

That’s why we start with the person first—developing innovative, effective services that provide the care, resources, and connections that will help each person in the best way possible.

People Incorporated was founded on the belief that those living with mental illness could be ‘incorporated’ back within the communities they live. 

We continue to innovate in the pursuit of best practices and best outcomes. Having a mental illness can affect everything from social relationships to housing access to physical health, and successful treatment requires customized, person-centered approaches that are as unique and multi-faceted as the individuals they are built around.

Through this work, we help individuals to take back control of determining the kind of life they want to build for themselves. We believe in our clients, and we’re proud of their achievement of truly life-changing goals.
