One outside factor is that the DSP was experiencing homelessness and was exhausted from that life stressor. It is not uncommon for DSPs to experience intermittent homelessness. In the Northeast MN region, there is a lack of affordable housing, housing resources and coordination. The governmental body that oversees housing and distribution of housing resources is Housing and Urban Development. \r\nAnother outside factor is the DSP was working extra shifts as the provider had unfilled shifts available. In doing so, the DSP\u2019s basic needs such as having a roof over his head were met. He picked up extra shifts also because the provider was offering overtime pay. The fact the provider had unfilled shifts is due to the well-known and highly publicized state and national workforce shortage.","created_by":81,"updated_by":81,"updated_at":"5\/25\/2021 11:15:59 am","created_at":"5\/25\/2021 11:15:59 am","id":17341}
