**BREAKING NEWS: Bob Dylan and His Son Jakob Dylan Donate \$3 Million to Purchase Two Homeless Shelters in Duluth, Minnesota**
In a powerful act of generosity and hometown pride, legendary musician Bob Dylan and his son, Jakob Dylan, have donated \$3 million to purchase two homeless shelters in Duluth, Minnesota—Bob Dylan’s birthplace. The donation marks a poignant gesture from the music icon, reportedly during what many close to the family believe may be his final chapter in life.
The two shelters will provide housing, essential services, and long-term support for Duluth’s unhoused population. The facilities are expected to be upgraded and staffed with expanded mental health and addiction recovery resources, thanks to the Dylans’ funding. City officials have confirmed the shelters will remain open year-round.
Jakob Dylan, frontman of The Wallflowers, has been deeply involved in the donation process, working closely with legal advisors and city representatives to ensure the acquisition runs smoothly. Sources close to the family say Jakob is proud to support his father’s vision of giving back to the community that shaped him.
“This is about coming full circle,” a spokesperson said. “Bob Dylan has never forgotten where he came from, and this donation reflects a deeply personal mission to help those struggling in the place he once called home.”
The shelters are set to be renamed in honor of Dylan’s legacy, though specific names have not yet been announced.
For many in Duluth, the donation is more than financial—it is a symbolic homecoming and a lasting tribute to a hometown hero who never truly left his roots behind.
