RP Members that is a cold state during the winter!
State officials say Minnesota is on track to find permanent addresses for all its homeless veterans this year.
A major data-collection effort that started in 2014 has been key to helping veterans, said Cathy ten Broeke, the state's director to prevent and end homelessness.
She also credited the $35 million set aside for affordable housing in the 2012 bonding bill with helping many formerly homeless people.
In January 2015, 7,500 people experienced homelessness, ten Broeke said. That's a 10 percent drop from the previous year.

It currently is negative 5 degrees.
We had 6 inches of snow a couple of days ago, and we are expecting "between six inches and a foot" of snow today! Then this weekend we are anticipating a the highs of 1 degree to the possibility of 20 below! ( WITHOUT THE WIND CHILL ).
Finally, MINNESOTA has it right for the VETERANS!!

With the state and the VA and Veteran Service orgs like the V.F.W., Am Leg. D.A.V. And others all pulling together in a cooperative effort all over, not just Minn. to look out for those that served our country first , wherever they served in the world. Let the u.n. Take care of the Syrians and others with their own money, not the U.S.'s (they got enough of it already!).. Our Vets should have First take at getting housing over those refugees from o'seas.. our Vets shouldn't to be bottled up at Salvation Army centers, let them refugees go there and put our Vets up at the Holiday inns.. (now with a certain x Pres. Gone the housing people can start looking out for our homeless Vets FIRST!)...

BTW - the Veterans Administration here in the cities is EXCELLENT!!! The Traumatic Brain Injury team is made of the UNIVERSITY of MINNESOTA medical staff and the VA Med Staff!
