Council updates highlight homeless outreach, kratom concerns and support for TPS Ukrainians
Summary
Council members reported progress in homeless outreach partnerships, noted a $500,000 state allocation for homeless prevention via CAP LP, raised public-health concerns about kratom overdoses, and urged help for community members facing expiring temporary protected status.
Council member Deb White reported on CAP LP’s homeless outreach work in Moorhead, saying the local effort has helped many people into housing through partnerships with Moorhead Police Department and Riverkeepers. She told the council that CAP LP secured more than $500,000 from the state for homeless prevention and assistance and said the funds will be used to support outreach and prevention programming.
White also warned the council about kratom overdoses, calling the substance an emerging concern that is unregulated by the federal government and does not respond to naloxone. She urged awareness and community support for Ukrainians in Moorhead whose temporary protected status may expire in October and noted ongoing transportation and accessibility concerns raised at Age Friendly Moorhead.
