St. Paul Public Schools is offering a place to sleep for about 15 families who will lose their temporary housing amid the flood of Super Bowl visitors.

Ramsey County has provided homeless families with temporary housing in local motels this school year. But with a million people visiting the Twin Cities for the Super Bowl, those motel rooms will not be available during the 10-day run-up to the game.

The school district is soliciting donations to turn one of its schools into an overnight shelter from Jan. 27 to Feb. 5. They said they need about $25,000 to pay a custodian and security guard and for other goods and services for the families.

As of Friday afternoon, they’d raised about $2,300. To make a donation, go to givemn.org/donate and search for “Super Bowl Homeless.”
