Mendota Heights Property Could Become Youth Homeless Shelter: Report

MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MN — Dakota County is negotiating to buy a property off the intersection of Hwy. 62 and Lexington Avenue in Mendota Heights, hoping to turn it into a youth homeless shelter, according to a report by The Minneapolis Star Tribune.

There is currently not a shelter for homeless youth in Dakota County, but if it buys the property, it would house kids ages 12-18, the publication reported.

The 12-bedroom property was most recently a residential facility for people with disabilities, the report said.
