LEAD offers a better response to chronic crime and disorder ensuring that community care and coordination form the primary approach to people whose problematic conduct stems from mental illness, substance use, or extreme poverty.

LEAD Minneapolis has had a daily presence at @campnenookaasi at its newest location. Camp organizer, Nicole Mason, has worked diligently with our team to ensure residents get connected to much needed intensive case management support.
This thread shares our progress to date: 1/6
Tune in this evening to hear our Project Manager, @LatashaJ_MPH discuss today's eviction of @campnenookaasi and why we must move beyond displacement as a solution to unsheltered homelessness. True long-term solutions must address the root causes of unsheltered homelessness.
