Homelessness

Ramsey County has the highest rate of homelessness in the metro area, with about 10,000 people experiencing homelessness in St. Paul alone. However, there are only 6,200 beds available to shelter them, leaving many without a safe place to stay.

To solve this issue, we need to increase housing options and address the root causes of homelessness, such as job loss, substance abuse, mental health challenges, and the lack of affordable housing. I will work to bring together organizations and resources to tackle these problems and create lasting solutions for our community.
