MPR: Homelessness still common on Minnesota reservations
Posted: Thursday, May 10, 2012
"Housing improvements over the last several years have not led to fewer homeless people on Minnesota's Indian reservations.
Researchers with the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation visited eight of the state's 11 reservations and found nearly 2,100 people who were homeless or doubled up with friends or relatives.
More than 600 people interviewed fit the strict federal definition of homeless, while the other 1,500 were doubled up with friends or relatives, usually in overcrowded conditions, said study author Ellen Shelton."
