Lindell-Parrish Ticket
In Maple Grove’s Evanswood subdivision — a brand-new neighborhood of $700,000 to $1.5 million single-family homes — the Minnesota Medicaid grift has planted its flag in plain sight.
At 10103 Shadyview Lane North, American Home Health Care LLC (operating as American Home Maker Services) holds an active DHS Home and Community-Based Services license registered to the house itself. The owner is Jama Y. Mohamod. State billing data shows the company received more than $2.2 million in Medicaid payments since 2022. DHS has issued multiple Correction Orders, a Maltreatment Investigative Memorandum, a Fine Order, and a September 2025 payment suspension after credible allegations of billing for services never delivered. Clients were left without care. At least one autistic woman ended up living in cars and tents. No criminal charges have been filed.
A second home, at 18153 101st Place North, is owned by Lataa Elemo, founder of Bright Community Services LLC. That company received the same September 2025 payment suspension for credible allegations of fraud. It sued the Department of Human Services. Clients lost services. Again, no criminal charges.
These are public records.
The City of Maple Grove already admitted the larger problem in writing. On November 26, 2024, Planning Manager Peter Vickerman told residents that DHS had no licenses for the other Evanswood addresses they flagged, that Hennepin County had no licenses, and that Minnesota Statute 245A.11 strips local government of any power to stop residential care facilities from operating inside single-family neighborhoods. Private HOA covenants cannot stop them either. The City’s only advice: complain to DHS.
Residents did. They documented the traffic, the unmarked packages, the applications using other people’s addresses, and the offers to buy more houses under their names. They contacted the Governor’s office, the Attorney General’s office, and the BCA. They got the runaround.
This is not an isolated Maple Grove problem. It is the residential-neighborhood version of a documented industrial-scale pattern across Minnesota.
The Statewide Pattern
Federal prosecutors have charged multiple operators in the Housing Stabilization Services program with wire fraud for billing Medicaid for services never provided. The program was projected to cost $2.6 million a year. By 2024 it had ballooned past $100 million.
Named cases include:
• Liberty Plus LLC (Anwar Ahmed Adow) — more than $1.2 million. Guilty plea. Operated in part from a residential address in Blaine.
• Leo Human Services LLC (Asad Ahmed Adow) — more than $2.7 million. Guilty plea. Same family network.
• Brilliant Minds Services LLC — St. Paul. Multiple defendants charged; guilty pleas entered. Part of a cluster of 22 purported providers operating from the same building that collectively billed millions.
• Pristine Health LLC, Faladcare Inc., and Vitality Health Services — additional federal charges for overbilling and billing for services not rendered.
In the Integrated Community Supports program — the same program at the center of the Evanswood cases — the pattern repeats:
• Ultimate Home Health Services was raided by federal agents after billing more than $1.1 million. Clients were left without housing after the company cancelled leases following a payment suspension.
• Healey Homes received $22.7 million in Individualized Home Supports reimbursements before DHS closed it.
• Guardian Home Health Services (Mohamed Abdirashid Omarxeyd) — charged with more than $3 million in false billing.
DHS has suspended payments to dozens of providers citing “credible allegations of fraud.” Many of those suspensions left disabled clients without care. Relatively few cases have produced criminal convictions relative to the volume of money involved.
Who Has Done Nothing
Governor Tim Walz has presided over the largest Medicaid fraud explosion in Minnesota history. His administration issues payment suspensions and press releases about “zero tolerance,” then watches the same operators keep active licenses and keep their real estate.
Attorney General Keith Ellison’s office has had years to bring real cases against the residential-care networks. The results are clear: payment suspensions without prosecutions, vulnerable adults left homeless, and the same operators still holding licenses.
DHS has the licensing power, the payment power, and the investigative power. What it has not had is the will to finish the job. It generates Correction Orders, issues temporary payment freezes, and then allows the network to continue.
This is not incompetence. This is a pattern of protection for a revenue stream that has already cost Minnesota taxpayers billions.
State law treats these facilities as permitted uses in every residential zone. That law is being used as a shield. Local governments are left powerless. Ordinary families who bought homes in quiet neighborhoods are told they have no recourse. Taxpayers fund the billing. The operators build equity. And the political machine that created the system pretends it is protecting the vulnerable.
The vulnerable are the ones ending up on the street.
Evanswood is not an outlier. It is the logical next stage of a grift that moved from food programs to housing programs to ordinary single-family subdivisions. The same billing tactics, the same LLC structures, the same official inaction.
We are not required to accept this.
The Lindell-Parrish campaign will not look away. We will not issue soft statements. We will not pretend this is complicated. We will name the operators. We will name the officials who have protected the system. And we will demand the only accountability that matters: real criminal investigations, real asset seizures, and the end of a legal structure that turns Minnesota neighborhoods into inventory for the Medicaid extraction machine.
The people of Evanswood have already done their part. They documented it. They complained. They went public. The only missing piece is political will from the people currently in power.
That will is absent.
It is time to replace it.

I want to publicly thank Tony Sinople and the Evanswood residents who refused to stay silent.
Tony and his neighbors did the hard work. They documented the traffic, the unmarked packages, the address hijacking, and the offers to buy more houses under their names. They filed formal complaints with the City of Maple Grove. They contacted DHS, the Governor’s office, the Attorney General’s office, and the BCA. When the system shrugged, they kept going. Their courage and refusal to look the other way made this exposé possible.
