Communidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio (CLUES) was established in 1981. The organization's mission is to "enhance the quality of the Latino community in Minnesota." CLUES started as a mental health service agency addressing the unique cultural and language needs of Spanish-speaking Latinos. CLUES is now Minnesota's largest Latino human services agency, providing a comprehensive array of self-sufficiency and behavioral health services for Latino children, families, and individuals. Core services include mental health, chemical health, employment, education, aging-well, and family services. CLUES is one of the few agencies to provide linguistically appropriate and culturally proficient services to Spanish speakers in Minnesota and the only one that is a dual-diagnostic provider of both chemical and mental health services. All direct service staff members are bilingual and culturally competent. In 2007, CLUES had more than 30,000 client visits at three sites in Minneapolis, East St. Paul, and West St. Paul.
