Lindquist Apartments

Lindquist provides permanent, sober, supportive housing for youth and young adults.  Residents receive intensive case management and assessments to assist them with setting and reaching their goals. 

Health Realization enables residents to create and define their own goals and direct their own Individual Support Plan. 

Independent Living Skills instruction helps support residents in obtaining and strengthening the tools necessary to live independently, such as cooking and money management. 

In 2008 Lindquist Apartments served 32 homeless and disabled youth with the following outcomes:

  • 89% of the residents maintained sobriety.
  • 88% met their productivity requirements (education and/or employment goals).
  • 100% were able to fill out a job application.

Here are some of the things residents had to say about their experience with Lindquist:

  •  “Lindquist provides me with a chance to live a better life”

  •  “Lindquist staff go above and beyond expectations and help people out”

My Story

Lindquist Apartments
Chad was feeling very discouraged after failing a drug-test and an apartment inspection. He had come to Lindquist Apartments from a dysfunctional family and wanted to succeed. These last setbacks had the 17-year old thinking about moving back home. Chad met with Cameron, a new Case Manager for Lindquist Apartments.

Chad commented that he was energized to have a male case manager. Someone who might understand him better. Chad shared that he still wanted to earn his GED. This was a goal he had set up when he moved into Lindquist Apartments more than a year ago. Chad's anxiety and insecurities were a barrier to accomplishing this and other goals.

Within three months of re-evaluating his goals with Cameron, Chad had earned his GED. He scored within the 95th percentile on three of the six exams. He had the highest math score the testing facility had ever seen!

Chad has renewed confidence after doing so well on his tests. He is now focused on "what's next". He wants to continue his education by starting college next spring.
