SUMMARY:Lobby Days Training: Hosting a Virtual Visit with Your Legislator - 2-10-22
DESCRIPTION:As the Minnesota state legislature opens their session to debate and legislate on a projected surplus of nearly $8 billion\, Beacon leaders will gather to make sure Bring it Home\, Minnesota is on the legislative agenda in 2022.  In order to get a vote in the House this year\, Beacon leaders will need to coordinate our House visits early-on\, and turn-out our congregations in a big way this February.

Leaders will work with organizers to determine their Beacon Leadership Team members’ roles to focus the 45 minute conversation for their legislator on Beacon’s bold policy initiative\, Bring it Home\, Minnesota. We will also go over turn-out strategies to increase participation from their congregations in lobby day activities. \nClosed captioning is available at these virtual trainings.

SUMMARY:Ramsey County Budget Hearing

SUMMARY:Met Council Public Hearing - 8/16/21
DESCRIPTION:The development of supportive housing is impossible to build without rent subsidies like Project-Based Vouchers. \nThe Metro HRA is the largest administrator of the Housing Choice Voucher Program in the state of Minnesota\, and without a reliable\, annual process for obtaining project-based rent subsidies\, Beacon won’t be able to develop desperately needed supportive housing for families across the metro area. \nOn Monday August 16 at 4 p.m.\, the Met Council’s Community Development Committee will be hosting a public hearing where residents can tune in or share their testimony. \nFaith communities from across the collaborative are coming together at this digital hearing to demonstrate our support for this crucial community resource and why we need to have project-based vouchers on the table in 2022 and beyond. \nAn email with the link to watch the public hearing will be sent to you once it is made available by the Community Development Committee. We will also hold a short Zoom debrief immediately after the hearing. \nTo learn about our event accessibility and safety practices\, please click here. \n

SUMMARY:Rent is Due: Day of Action - 8/2/21
DESCRIPTION:Our vision is that all people have a home.

We cannot let this happen\, and home is the solution. \nWe need Bring It Home\, MN\, a rent subsidy program that will allow all low-income Minnesotans the security and reassurance of home. \nOn Monday\, August 2\, join us at 8:30 a.m. for a thirty-minute update meeting\, where we will learn more about the growing crisis\, and reflect on how to take action together. \nPlease register below to let us know you will participate and to receive further instructions on how to access the meeting. \n
