Hennepin Co. Exhibit Shows Portraits Of Homeless

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- A new Hennepin County exhibit strives to make sure that homeless people are not faceless.

"Homeless Is My Address, Not My Name" opens Monday in the skyway level of the Hennepin County Government Center in downtown Minneapolis. It runs through April 30.

The exhibit features portraits and audio stories of people who have been homeless. It is presented by St. Stephen's Human Services in partnership with Heading Home Hennepin and Family Housing Fund.

An opening reception will be held Tuesday from noon to 1 p.m. Hennepin County Commissioner Gail Dorfman and Tom Fulton of Family Housing Fund will discuss ways to end homelessness.

The exhibit is sponsored by the Hennepin County Office to End Homelessness and Heading Home Hennepin.
