A photo ID, a piece of current official mail, like a utility bill, and identification for additional household members, are requested at the time of your visit.

Is VEAP the same as Hennepin County?

No. While Hennepin County’s South Suburban Hub is located at VEAP, we do not share your personal information nor access case information without your written permission. If you have questions, please contact info@veap.org

We understand.

Volunteers and staff understand that accessing VEAP programs may be a humbling experience.  We will treat you with respect and connect you with the resources that will help you regain stability. All new visitors have the opportunity to speak with a member of our Social Services team who will listen and connect you with VEAP’s programs and other community resources.
