Ending Homelessness

(Nov. 7, 2007)

Every night, thousands of children and adults across Minnesota sleep on friends’ couches, in their cars, in shelters, or on the streets. But Minnesota is now at the leading edge of a national movement to end homelessness, not simply manage it.
 

At the Meeting on November 7, Minnesota Housing Finance Commissioner Agency Tim Marx will highlight these statewide and local efforts and provide a progress report. He will then join a discussion with Paul Williams, a national housing development expert, Richard Amos, housing services director of St. Stephen’s Church, and Gabrielle Strong, tribal administrator of the Lower Sioux Indian Community. Participants can expect to learn specific ways in which they can help end homelessness in Minnesota.
