Sept./Oct. 2025: Restoring Waters - Addition to Minnesota NMI Provides Homes and Health

When Sheree Volesky was homeless, she lived in a tent in the woods until someone stole it. She couch surfed at the homes of relatives and friends, eventually wearing out her welcome. She lived in an ice fishing shelter, constantly chopping wood so she and her half-blind dog Archie would stay warm. When she finally got an apartment, she was evicted after a former boyfriend kicked in the front door. Being unhoused in Minnesota was just one of the difficulties Volesky faced.
