About SOUTHSIDE HARM REDUCTION SERVICES

This profile is for Southside Harm Reduction Services (EIN 82-4602523), an active Minneapolis-based 501(c)(3) organization focused on community-based harm reduction for people who use drugs. The organization operates syringe services and a suite of low-barrier programs — including deliveries of safe-use supplies, street outreach to encampments, a community drop-in center, and a Linkage to Care line — and emphasizes destigmatizing, accessible services and client autonomy. In recent years SHRS has expanded capacity and visibility in Minnesota: it has opened a community drop-in center, maintained regular outreach and delivery services across south Minneapolis, and has been featured in regional media coverage while reporting multi-year growth in program funding and operating scale.

Notable achievements

Opened community drop-in center

Established a staffed community drop-in site where participants can pick up safe-use supplies, rest, and connect to services, marking a shift from only mobile/delivery models to a physical low-barrier access point.

Expanded delivery and outreach services

Scaled street outreach and delivery programs to provide sterile supplies, naloxone, fentanyl test strips and linkage support directly to people in encampments and other low-access settings.

Significant organizational growth (2019–2024)

Program capacity and budget expanded substantially over several years, enabling larger distribution of supplies and hiring of additional staff to sustain outreach and linkage activities.
