Despite hurdles, Minneapolis makes progress on finding shelter for homeless at large encampment

On his first night in a new apartment after two years of homelessness, Mike Eagle Tail found himself bolting awake in his bed, expecting to hear the wail of police sirens or the sound of people crying out for help.

Instead, for the first time in months, Eagle Tail heard only the faint sounds of his three sleeping children — Raymond, 9, Rolanda, 8 and Lakota, 7 — breathing softly from their bedrooms. Eagle Tail quietly eased his bulky frame through the apartment, checking on his children.
