New Yorker - Andrea Hansen-Miller,
a licensed clinical social worker who helps homeless people, runs her
office out of the Minneapolis Central Library, offering visitors snacks,
warm clothes, assistance finding housing, and mental-health support.
“The police regularly clear the city’s streets of encampments, but
officers don’t run unhoused people out of Central,” Paige Williams explains
in this in-depth, on-the-ground report from Minnesota. “As long as they
follow the rules, any patron—and everyone at the library is called a
patron—can stay all day, every day.”
Online report of the Progressive Review. Since 1964, the news while there's still time to do something about it.
