The United Way of Goodhue, Wabasha and Pierce Counties (United Way of GWP) recently released a statement determining fiction versus fact about homelessness in Minnesota. The statement is in part of their current focus on connecting those in need with stable housing and educating the community on ways they can help.Â
âHomelessness is an issue that affects our local communities,â Jessica Seide, board president for United Way of GWP, said. âWe are expecting a sharp rise when the eviction and foreclosure moratorium extension ends in August.â
According to a 2020 study conducted by the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH), over 567,115 people experienced homelessness last year. Out of that, 7,977 Minnesotans were experiencing homelessness on a given night.

Following the passage of the ‘Parents Bill of Rights’, activists in Florida warn the state is becoming unsafe for LGBTQ youth.
LISTEN:
Republican Senator Kelli Stargel might’ve quashed her own bill banning transgender girls from girls sports, but the “Parents Bill of Rights” is now on its way to Gov. Ron DeSantis’s desk for his signature.
Ray Rodrigues, the bill’s Senate sponsor said the bill only gathers existing law into one place.
“What we are seeing is government power is slowly encroaching and expanding,” he said. “It will do so until the parents assert the rights that they have, but they have to know what those rights are in order to assert them.”
A federal judge had ordered the city and county to offer housing to all Skid Row homeless residents by October and place $1 billion in an escrow account within seven days to combat the crisis.
