# Leo Human Services *Organization whose principals were named in the September 2025 Minnesota Housing Stabilization Services indictments.* Leo Human Services is an organization whose principals were among those charged in Housing Stabilization Services indictments. The [[Minnesota Attorney General]] and federal law enforcement announced those indictments jointly on September 18, 2025.[^1] The record compiled here carries no statement from the organization about its mission, ownership, address or operations. It documents the organization only through those charges, which are allegations. The record shows no disposition for Leo Human Services or its principals.[^1] The charges arose in the [[Housing Stabilization Services program]], a state program whose statutory authority is Minn. Stat. § 256B.051.[^2] A second set of Attorney General announcements followed on December 18, 2025.[^3] The [[Minnesota Department of Human Services]], which administered the program, announced that it was moving to terminate it. A history-table row in the project's record dates the termination to October 31, 2025.[^4] The Department is also listed in the project's claim:link catalogue as an institutional defendant in the pending federal employment suit [[United States v. State of Minnesota (0:26-cv-00273)]].[^5] The [[United States Department of Justice]] announced that suit under the title *United States Department of Justice Files Lawsuit Against Minnesota's "Affirmative Action" Regime*.[^6] ## Who The September 18, 2025 announcement named principals of four entities: Leo Human Services, Liberty Plus, [[Brilliant Minds Services]] and [[Faladcare]].[^1] The record does not give the names of the Leo Human Services principals. It also does not give the number of persons charged from that organization.[^1] The announcement came from the Minnesota Attorney General's office together with federal law enforcement.[^1] The Department of Human Services was the state agency responsible for the program. It later announced the move to end the program.[^4] ## What The September 2025 charges were Housing Stabilization Services indictments.[^1] The project's Dakota County claims-exposure matrix classifies the two waves of announcements, from September and December 2025, as complaint allegations, with one guilty plea.[^1][^3] Minn. Stat. § 256B.051 is the program's statutory authority.[^2] The record does not show which legislature enacted or amended that section, or under which party or administration.[^2] ## When - September 18, 2025: The Attorney General and federal law enforcement announce Housing Stabilization Services indictments. The defendants include principals of Leo Human Services, Liberty Plus, Brilliant Minds Services and Faladcare.[^1] - October 31, 2025: Minnesota terminates the Housing Stabilization Services program, according to the project's history table. The Department of Human Services had announced its move to terminate the program.[^4] - December 18, 2025: The Attorney General announces further Housing Stabilization Services defendants, along with one guilty plea.[^3] ## How The charges were announced by a state office acting together with federal law enforcement, not by the state alone.[^1] After the December 2025 announcements, the federal government took further action in the same program. The Department of Justice's [[Health Care Fraud Unit]] charged defendants in Minnesota cases that included Housing Stabilization Services.[^7] ## How much The record states no dollar figure for Leo Human Services or its principals.[^1] At the program level, the project's claim:link catalogue cites the Office of the Legislative Auditor for documentation of a 4,054% overrun in Housing Stabilization Services. That figure rests on a catalogue row citing the Auditor's homepage, not on a quoted audit page.[^8] The Health Care Fraud Unit's 2026 Minnesota case summaries record more than $90 million in alleged losses across that takedown.[^7] An at-issue pair puts the alleged figure at roughly $90 million and the amount paid at about $60 million.[^7] ## How many - September 18, 2025: principals of four named entities were charged.[^1] - December 18, 2025: five further entities were named, together with one guilty plea. The entities were [[Pristine Health]], SafeLodgings, [[Chozen Runner]], [[Retsel Real Estate]] and [[Star Autism Center]].[^3] - 2026: the Health Care Fraud Unit's Minnesota takedown charged 15 defendants.[^7] One at-issue pair places those defendants across ten Minnesota cases.[^7] ## In the at-issue record At-issue pair AI-Dakota-056 sets the September and December 2025 announcements beside the state's own role in the program. In the pair's account, Housing Stabilization Services was created by the state and paid by the state. Its indictments were then announced with federal law enforcement standing beside the state.[^1][^3] The pair anchors this sequence to the White House presidential action of March 2026 that established a Task Force to Eliminate Fraud.[^9] The record establishes the dates and the joint announcements. It does not establish what the program's internal controls detected or failed to detect.[^1] A second pair, [[At issue 076 - DOJ's Health Care Fraud Unit charged fifteen defendants]], records the 2026 federal takedown in the same program. It anchors that takedown to the January 2026 White House fact sheet establishing a Department of Justice division for national fraud enforcement.[^7][^10] A third pair, [[At issue 077 - In August 2026 the Hennepin County Attorney's Office]], records a county-level case involving Housing Stabilization Services billing. Its underlying source is a news report that is not among the record's citable sources, so its figures are not stated here.[^9] ## In the Minnesota record ### When - January 14, 2026: The United States files *United States v. State of Minnesota*, No. 0:26-cv-00273 (D. Minn.). The suit is brought under [[Title VII]] of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]].[^11] - The complaint cites [[Minn. Stat. § 43A.191]] eight times. These citations include the requirement in subdivision 3(c) that an agency explain its reason for hiring a non-affirmative candidate.[^11] - DOJ release No. 26-21 announced the filing, and Attorney General Pamela Bondi certified the case as a matter of general public importance.[^6] - The project's catalogue lists the Department of Human Services among the institutional defendants.[^5] The case is pending, and this article states what the complaint alleges without adjudicating it.[^11] - 2026: The Health Care Fraud Unit's Minnesota takedown charges 15 defendants, with Housing Stabilization Services among the programs named.[^7] - The project's validated Dakota County matrix dates the takedown to May 21, 2026, citing the Department of Justice's case summaries.[^7] - At-issue pair AI-076 places the charges in July 2026. The Department of Justice source ranks above that pair, so the May date is used here.[^7] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota Attorney General, *Housing Stabilization Services indictments announcement* (Sept. 18, 2025) — joint announcement with federal law enforcement of indictments against principals of Leo Human Services, Liberty Plus, Brilliant Minds Services and Faladcare.
