"This year we had to do something we've NEVER done in 35 years. We needed a lottery at 10 p.m., for emergency, one-night beds. Those whose number isn't chosen, we give them a bus token." Monica Nilsson, community development director, The Bridge for Homeless and Runaway Youth.
Lydia Howell interviewed Nilsson as part of her article "No Direction Home" in the December 27th issue of Pulse, a Twin Cities weekly publication. Howell powerfully weaves snippets of her own tumultuous childhood, with the changing perceptions of teenagers, and several personal accounts from the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Our office is currently working with the Bridge on a considerable expansion of their facility in the Uptown neighborhood of Minneapolis.
