@MNHomelessCo @HennepinD6 @TristaMatas @KaohlyVangHer @mikehowardmn They provide a huge benefit to struggling Minnesotans—it’s something we’ve previously funded and have seen excellent results with. We look out for each other to keep the community safe. Putting these funds towards emergency shelters and outreach programs helps further that goal.

Rather than force people to choose between housing or healthcare, we wanted to...
@MNHomelessCo @HennepinD6 @TristaMatas @KaohlyVangHer @mikehowardmn (2/2) ...to give them a larger period of time to maintain housing support while seeking needed treatment, so we are moving the threshold from 18 to 92 days for specific health-related circumstances.
