Synopsis: A new report by Wilder Research shows an increase in referrals to Minnesota's Safe Harbor program.

The Wilder Research report outlines implementation challenges, shares program participant feedback, and offers recommendations such as ensuring effective service and housing options for tribal community members and victims from other communities.
