The Dorothy Day center and Higher Ground are shelters for the homeless by night and community assistance programs by day. I think they are Catholic Charties affiliated. Sounds like he may be homeless. But, I thought the Dorothy Day Center has been torn down to make room for a new one they are building (downtown St. Paul). I don't think it would be up and running yet. The new one is supposed to be huge and it was not even a year ago that I thought I heard they closed for this construction.

He is in NAMUS now:

On or about April 23, 2018, Kurtz walked away from his home and has not been heard from since. Authorities are concerned for his welfare as he depends on daily medications. Kurtz was seen in the southeast section of Forest Lake, Minnesota shortly after leaving his home.
