Elevate Hennepin is Hennepin County's initiative to help businesses start and grow.
The federal immigration enforcement surge is causing tremendous suffering, disruption and fear across the county, including our small business community.
We stand with local businesses, and all the business owners and workers that sustain our economy.
We are here for you to offer timely information, and connect you with available resources as we navigate these unprecedented times. We can find strength in the courage, determination, and resiliency we see in communities throughout the county in the face of this crisis.
For help finding emergency resources and Elevate Hennepin advising, schedule a consultation with our Business Navigators—no detailed questions, no forms, just schedule a time.
Hennepin County response
Hennepin County is providing responsive services for individuals, families and communities. This support includes legal, housing, well-being, and food security resources. Learn more about county resources.
On January 27, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution that was drafted in early January condemning the actions of federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) in our communities and calling for the immediate removal of federal immigration enforcement from Minnesota. Read the resolution.
