About Us

How We're Helping

Since 2018, BTH has been offering hospitality to people experiencing homelessness  in the Duluth, MN region following discharge from the hospital for an acute medical condition. While guests stay with us, we work on housing and connections to supports in the community in hopes that they'll be in a better position when they leave our home. 

Get Involved -- Volunteer!

Are you passionate about what we're doing? Want to help? Let us know! We are always looking for volunteers to help us make our vision a reality. From chores around the house to help with preparing meals to spending time with guests, we'll help you find a way to volunteer that best suits you. We're excited to have you join the team!

Food is Medicine

At the Bob Tavani House, we believe that a nutritious meal is more than just sustenance – it's a source of comfort and healing for our guests recovering from illness. You can make a direct impact on their well-being by preparing a healthy meal or dropping off a convenient meal kit.

Community Conversations

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.
