MACV joined hundreds of community partners at Homeless Day on the Hill, uniting to advocate for shelter, affordable housing, income protections, and housing support for the Veterans we serve across Minnesota.

The day kicked off with an inspiring rally featuring Lt. Governor Flannigan who spoke about the importance of empathy and showing up to support ending homelessness and highlighted the progress made in 2024. After the program, we met with state and house representatives at the Capitol and surrounding buildings. It was a chance for the MACV staff, partners, and individuals with lived experience to share their stories, statistics, and make an impact.
