• Local nonprofits report increasing demand at roundtable (hometownsource.com) — Mound residents who rely on WeCAN should know the nonprofit is seeing unsustainably high demand for food, housing help, and financial assistance across its western Hennepin service area. At a recent roundtable, WeCAN and partner organizations described surging food shelf use, tougher access to rental aid, and mounting family homelessness, while new affordable housing projects in Medina and Plymouth aim to ease some of the regional pressure.
