It wasn’t easy—historic rehab, zoning hurdles, and funding challenges—but this outcome shows what’s possible when we say “yes” instead of “no” to solving Veteran homelessness.

Proud of this milestone and what we’re building in Minnesota.

This story doesn’t really go anywhere @frederickmelo.bsky.social

T.J. is a lot more unstable than this reveals and the real story should be tied back to the MN homeless veteran registry (HVR) and how that’s the real start point to services.

We have been averaging 10miles a day on foot for the past week with a 5 year old in tow. So for this last hike, we cheated and started with a tram ride to the top. #bergen. #norway

Our last VFW commander, Mike Conley, passed away last month and had no family to receive his flag. Our Mendota VFW Post 6990, along the the MN Patriot Riders, we’re on hand to step in our fellow veteran. #veterans

We don’t do Easter egg hunt, we strapped eggs to the older kids and released them it to the neighborhood. It’s like Hunger Games but everybody ends up with some chocolate.

Minnesota is about to end veteran homelessness. Rep. Bidal Duran voted no. He didn’t offer an amendment. He didn’t negotiate. He just said no. #veterans #Milsky

Bidal Duran voted against funding for homeless veterans. Right after hearing vets would be forced back onto the streets. That’s what he chose. #veteran #Milsky post 4 of 5 @mnveteran.bsky.social

HF 1375 would change police arbitration rules to protect officers from discipline. This isn’t reform. It’s cover. Bidal Duran is writing laws that would’ve helped him in his own case. #veteran #Milsky post 3 of 5 #vfw #americanlegion
