The Reality of Homelessness
On any given night, more than 8,000 Minnesotans experience homelessness. Behind every number is a person with a story, a family, and a desire to be seen, valued, and loved.
For many, homelessness brings more than the loss of housing. It can mean isolation, uncertainty, and limited access to essential resources. Children and youth make up nearly 40% of Minnesota's homeless population.
At Coated In Love, we believe every person deserves dignity, compassion, and hope.
