What if the most powerful thing you could do for someone experiencing homelessness today cost nothing at all? In this episode, Enrique Velazquez joins Ryan Reichert and Lisa Sander to talk about the real state of veteran homelessness in the Twin Cities, how Hennepin County reached functional zero on veteran homelessness in 2025, and what every person watching or listening can do right now to help. He shares practical tools, including the Handbook of the Streets resource guide, how to volunteer at local shelters, how to support organizations that serve the unhoused, and why a single honest conversation with someone on the street can plant a seed that changes everything.
