A Minnesota jury came to a strong conclusion in a high-profile case that revealed a dishonest plan to steal millions of dollars in Covid relief funds. Seven Somali defendants were on trial on charges that they took advantage of a government program meant to give kids and low-income families free, healthy meals during the pandemic. The defendants worked for a Minnesota charity group called Feeding Our Future. A web of lies that ran from April 2020 to January 2022 was broken by the alleged plan. The defendants were accused of hiring people to start Federal Child Nutrition Program sites during this time. But they didn’t feed the kids with the money they got from the program; instead, they used it for themselves.

That equates to almost half of the renters in the U.S. in serious danger of losing their homes. While minority residents, primarily Black and LatinX, are disproportionately affected by this, the current economic situation has caused this to hit all races.
