In response to a recent article highlighting critical issues within Minnesota’s Housing Stabilization Services (HSS) program, Elevated Providers has announced that it is stepping forward with real, actionable solutions. The current system lacks safeguards, structured training, and clear compliance measures—leaving providers vulnerable and clients at risk.
“HSS providers want to do the right thing, but they’re left to navigate complex regulations alone. Mistakes turn into compliance violations. Confusion creates openings for fraud. And Minnesota’s most vulnerable suffer the consequences,” said Twyla Martin, CEO of Elevated Providers.
Elevated Providers is taking the lead in bridging the gap between the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) and HSS providers by implementing practical, immediate solutions that enhance compliance, accountability, and efficiency within the program.
A Call for Action & Reform
Elevated Providers has formally invited DHS to collaborate on meaningful reforms for the HSS program and is awaiting their response. In the meantime, the organization is proactively implementing key solutions, including:
-
Suggested training at enrollment to ensure providers understand compliance from day one.
-
Stronger accountability measures to eliminate unethical practices.
-
A structured onboarding process to equip providers before they serve clients.
-
Zero-cost implementation for DHS, offering a practical fix without requiring additional funding.
“The problem isn’t the program—it’s the lack of guidance. We refuse to accept the false narrative that HSS agencies are intentionally committing fraud when the issue is a systemic failure to provide adequate support,” said Martin.
Moving Forward
While awaiting a response from DHS, Elevated Providers is actively moving forward with reforms to strengthen Minnesota’s HSS program. With our staff’s four years of experience working, training, guiding, and enforcing compliance, Elevated Providers has developed a deep understanding of the system’s challenges and has already identified effective solutions.
“The need for reform is urgent. We are calling on DHS, policymakers, and community leaders to join us in creating a more structured, accountable, and supportive system for both providers and the vulnerable individuals they serve,” Martin added.
