Tonight’s episode of the Inner Circle Podcast delivered an insightful and eye-opening conversation on one of the most pressing issues facing our community—group homes in Minnesota.

Joined by special guest Bernice Cooper, a social worker and Brooklyn Park City Council candidate, we explored the rapid growth of group homes and the challenges impacting both residents and communities. Drawing from her professional experience, Bernice shared powerful insights on the realities within the system, the balance between care and business, and the gaps that need urgent attention.

Her depth of knowledge and firsthand perspective made this a must-listen for anyone seeking to better understand this space—from community members to aspiring entrepreneurs and policymakers.

This was a thoughtful, informative, and impactful discussion that highlights why these conversations matter now more than ever.

As always, the Inner Circle Podcast continues to amplify, empower, and elevate the voices and conversations that matter.
