Hennepin County file 26-0113, before the Hennepin County Board. Passed as of 2026-04-07.
Latest action: Approved
Street outreach workers engage unhoused people The county will deploy outreach teams from January 2026 through April 2027 to connect people sleeping outside to shelter, housing placement, and wraparound services using the HUD Emergency Solutions Grant funding.
Strengthens coordinated homelessness response system Dedicated street outreach improves referral pathways into the broader homeless services network, reducing emergency room visits and jail cycling while increasing housing placement rates across the county.
Funding covers only 16-month pilot period The grant expires April 30, 2027, so sustained outreach depends on securing continued federal funding or local budget commitment beyond this initial agreement.
