About
Autonomous Yurt Union is raising funds to build yurt-inspired structures for unhoused community members across the Twin Cities (and occasionally beyond!).
We are committed to year-round infrastructural, weather and survival-related support to community members living outside. This work shifts throughout the year. During the summer, we strive to provide supports like ice, water, and shade structures to make hot days more bearable. During the winter, we focus on yurt-inspired structures and firewood. Year round, we provide meals and other survival gear as needed, as well as purchase tools that enable our work and make us more effective.
About the yurts: Yurts make winter in Minnesota survivable. With a wood stove and heavy duty tarp, yurts can make a life or death difference in sub-zero temperatures. Each yurt costs about $300 to construct (including a heavy duty 30x40' tarp, lumber, hardware, stove & stovepipe, and rope).
