With a hidden camera and me dressed up as someone who appeared to be homeless, I had a plan - sit in downtown Rochester, MN, specifically in front of some of the businesses and locations where I have been told people are being rude to those experiencing homelessness.
"If you are a mom that is worried about the parks not being safe, a business owner that has concerns, or just curious how to help those experiencing homelessness, this conversation is for you."
Community members and several nonprofits worked together with the City of Rochester and Olmsted County to open a temporary Day Center at the Mayo Civic Center to help those who are experiencing homelessness.
