Century-old hotel converted into veteran housing in Robbinsdale

Fourteen homeless veterans in Minnesota will soon have a roof over their heads in the city of Robbinsdale, a suburb just outside the Twin Cities. The Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans converted the nearly 125-year-old Robin Hotel into 14 units for low-income and homeless veterans

A ribbon-cutting was held last week and in about two weeks, people will start moving in. Sara Riegle, the chief housing officer for The Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans spoke to MPR News host Nina Moini about the project.
