Chills. This is 100% on point. There are social workers across the Greater Minnesota who know their local jurisdictions won’t be able to meet someone’s needs. They pull money out of their own pocket, buy them a bus ticket to Minneapolis, and tell them where to go to get help.

Just as HCMC takes patients from all over, Hennepin & Ramsey absorb social services costs that other MN Counties either can’t afford or refuse to cover. The places w/ unhoused residents are the places that keep them alive. The places w/out unhoused people are places where they would be left to die.
