So, in regards to my previous question , my daughter and her boyfriend did wind up having a few days to gather up their belongings and get out, barely. They have been homeless since then, and are trying to figure out their next steps. The boyfriend got a job in Duluth, not a great job but it's something. My daughter is still doing food delivery. Because the boyfriend is working in Duluth and they only have one car, I have suggested to them that they probably should look for an apartment near his work.
But of course that means moving to MN from WI, meaning any state assistance they are currently getting would end and they would have to start from scratch in MN. I'm wondering how the resources for low-income and homeless people compare between the states. I would expect that MN might be better, being a blue state, but I really have no idea.
Would appreciate any knowledge or advice you could offer. Also interested in any other upsides or downsides you know of. In my experience, resources are good in MN. My sister was homeless in MN and able to be placed in a very nice new, clean apartment with space for her two children at a reasonable sliding scale price, once she was employed.
I live in Wisconsin, but have not been poor here. Regardless, I would stick with Minnesota. Wisconsin has been gutting its social programs for a long time, but especially since We may flip the legislature this year, but it will still be a slog to fix things. What they need is informed advice about opportunities and tradeoffs.
I would start with St. These agencies can offer advice about available benefits and in each place and how tough they are to access, especially if crossing state lines into Minnesota.
