Joy Sorensen Navarre Executive Director, MICAH

"Successful affordable housing organizing inspires me because it has a direct impact on the lives of hundreds of families and individuals. Making changes takes courage and hard work. I find strength in faith – it provides us with the passion to take action."

Mike Manhard Executive Director, Metro-wide Engagement on Shelter and Housing (MESH)

“I’m an advocate because my interaction with people experiencing homelessness has changed me. The faces, names and stories of those I met have stayed with me. Knowing them, I'll never again drive home, put food on the table, and sleep in my warm bed the same way.”

Gothriel (Fred) La Fleur Assistant County Administrator - Criminal Justice, Hennepin County

"Increasingly, more people involved in the criminal justice system are finding themselves faced with the likelihood of homelessness. Criminal records, unemployment, chemical dependency, and mental illness are but a few of the barriers that prevent offender from securing stable and affordable housing. Poverty should not be a crime."
