The Work Continues - St. Paul Chapter Update

Renters need these protections, now more than ever. The coronavirus outbreak has shown clearly that our for-profit housing market is broken. Housing is a public health issue. People are losing income and cannot afford rents that were too high to begin with.

It's Not a Crime to Have No Where to Sleep

The overall number of people experiencing homelessness in Minnesota is up by 10% from 2015; and while the number of families decreased by 5%, the number of adults 55 and older were up by 25%.
