The search warrant affidavit indicates the targets of the warrants are suspected of "taking advantage of the housing crisis and the drug addiction crisis in Minnesota to prey on individuals who need help getting back on their feet." The document goes on to say the suspect companies and individuals contact Medicaid-eligible people in halfway houses and drug treatment facilities and offer them help in finding stable housing.

The affidavit alleges the companies fraudulently claimed to provide dozens of program service hours to clients, but in reality, the people offered help reported that they "received little or no actual services or assistance from these companies." According to the court filing, the targets of the investigation are suspected of receiving millions of dollars in Medicaid funds for housing stabilization services they did not provide.

The companies named in the search warrant affidavit are:

• Brilliant Mind Services LLC in St. Paul
• Leo Human Services LLC in Brooklyn Park
• Liberty Plus LLC in Roseville
• Pristine Health LLC in St. Paul
• Faladcare in Little Canada

The court document also indicates search warrants were executed at residential homes in Blaine, St. Paul, and Woodbury.

At this point, the Office of the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota has not announced any arrests or charges in connection with the investigation.
