Since 2018, BTH has opened its doors to people in the Duluth, MN community who are experiencing homelessness after being discharged from the hospital. We provide a safe and caring place to heal while helping each guest find stable housing and connect with community supports. Our hope is that everyone who leaves our home does so feeling stronger, more supported, and ready for the next step in their journey.
Are you passionate about the work we’re doing? We’d love for you to get involved! BTH is always looking for caring volunteers to help bring our mission to life. Whether it’s lending a hand with chores, helping prepare meals, or simply spending time with our guests, there’s a place for you here. We’ll work with you to find a volunteer role that fits your interests — and we’re so excited to welcome you to the team!

Bob Tavani House is a vital part of Duluth, Minnesota's community care network. We're excited to share our progress and future plans with stakeholders in March 2025.
Driven by our commitment to community engagement, we facilitated virtual 'charettes' in early 2022, uniting faith leaders, government officials, healthcare professionals, foundations, and other key partners. These collaborative sessions yielded invaluable insights into the pressing need for medical respite services for individuals facing homelessness in the Northland. Discover the impact of these conversations by exploring our de-identified final report below.
