The Up and Out of Poverty Now! Summit takes place.

1989

POV

A national movement that develops its strongest actions in Minneapolis, Up and Out of Poverty Now! gathers people to occupy abandoned homes and buildings as a way of providing housing and drawing attention to houselessness.

The largest set of actions occurs in Minneapolis, where four houses, a former hotel, and a former mill are occupied. One of the occupation sites–the Dunwoody Hotel–will remain a housing space until it burns down in a fire in the early 2020s.
