“Hennepin’s model is not about just one solution—it’s about everything working together. Their system includes legal representation, outreach in homeless encampments, housing case management, and shelters that offer dignity and pathways to permanent housing. Hennepin County isn’t just warehousing people—they’re investing in long-term, sustainable solutions like transitional housing, rapid rehousing, and permanent supportive housing." See Invisible People's full story here: https://lnkd.in/gd4cXyzJ

America can end homelessness, and Catholic Charities Twin Cities and other agencies in Hennepin County are proving it’s possible. While cities across the nation face rising homelessness, Hennepin County, Minnesota, offers a powerful example by building a community-wide system that prioritizes people, not punishment.
