Photography Exhibit Documents the Housing Challenges Facing Minnesota's Veterans

Every day in communities across Greater Minnesota, veterans struggle to maintain their stability, safety, and dignity under extraordinarily difficult living conditions. The deeply moving images presented in Portraits of Home II reveal the challenging circumstances faced by these men and women and their families who are struggling to persevere.

Social Art and Housing Activism
Art, especially photography, can be a powerful tool for increasing public awareness of the affordable housing crisis facing people in Greater Minnesota. Photographs personalize the human impacts of poor housing conditions and homelessness. They capture the dignity and resiliency of people managing everyday life with few resources and the positive changes that can occur with stable housing. Greater Minnesota Housing Fund is making this compelling exhibit available to local communities throughout 2009 and 2010 in order to touch the hearts and minds of policymakers, local leaders and residents, and to inform these stakeholders of the specific actions they can take to address the housing challenges faced by a growing number of Minnesota families.
