PARTICIPATE IN THE LOSING SLEEP, LOSING HOME VIGIL
On Nov. 13, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released new rules that could slash federal homelessness funding for 3,600 Minnesotans, confirming fears long raised by Minnesota housing leaders. Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative and a growing statewide coalition – 185 organizations, including Lake Nokomis Lutheran – are calling on HUD to reverse course or for Congress to intervene and prevent the most devastating housing cuts in modern U.S. history. Four Beacon buildings would be directly affected.
To shine a light on the severity of the situation and to stand in solidarity, we’re invited to participate in the Losing Sleep, Losing Homes Vigil starting Tuesday, Nov. 25. Participants can join the vigil in person at The Basilica of Saint Mary or virtually by committing to one or more one-hour shifts to stay awake, contact your member of Congress, and hold vigil.

As we give thanks for our own homes, let’s take one hour to support our siblings at risk. Questions? Contact Kat Vann [email protected]
