Second Sreet Service Center

In 2019 the Foundation purchased 110 W 2nd Street in downtown Chaska. For the first four years, the main floor was leased to Launch Ministry, a local non-profit serving young adults who were homeless. The upper level of the building houses two two-bedroom rental units which the Foundation has rented to young adults in Launches programs. In July of 2024, Launch Ministry closed its doors and the Foundation began identifying an alternative tenant with a priority on a non-profit serving persons in need.

The Foundation is excited to announce that it has agreed with the Community Action Partnership of Scott, Carver and Dakota Counties to lease this space. Beginning in August the CAP Agency will be the new neighbor in downtown Chaska.   The CAP Agency plans to provide a full range of services to community members such as housing referrals, energy assistance, senior services and food security. CAP began operation of the community resource center in December of 2024
