MINNEAPOLIS -- There's a very unorthodox renovation project underway in south Minneapolis, at a home that was built 113 years ago.

The people doing the work, as well as the woman who lives in the house, are all uninvited guests of Wells Fargo Bank. They are squatters.

They're trying to make a point about homelessness and the impact of vacant homes on the city's neighborhoods with high foreclosure rates. They've found a novel -- and most likely illegal -- method to push a broader political agenda.

"This is more than just me and my family quite frankly," Jessica English told KARE.
