COMMUNITY
RPAMN Works for You
We are a movement for collective action to effect change at the local, regional, and state levels. We are self-organized, and encourage our members to contribute by standing together, taking responsibility, and being actionable for our collective benefit.



GRASSROOTS
Why RPAMN?
We formed RPAMN, a 501c6 nonprofit, to advocate for and represent small, residential customized living providers in Minnesota. The lack of consistency across counties, inefficient rate structures, and the lack of transparency and representation around the constantly changing rules, has made it incredibly difficult for small providers to be successful.
We advocate for inclusion in planning and policy-making related to assisted living and customized living services
We provide equitable representation that promotes improved outcomes for underrepresented communities
Relationship building with MDH and DHS
