Gov. Tim Walz's administration has joined forces with foundations and business leaders to increase the number of beds in shelters across the state as temperatures drop.

Walz announced the effort Thursday at the Minnesota Women's Indian Resource Center in Minneapolis, a shelter not far from the Wall of Forgotten Natives, a homeless encampment that was shuttered last year.
