SUMMARY:Rent is Due: Day of Action - 10/1/21
DESCRIPTION:Our vision is that all people have a home. The pandemic and economic crisis are building into an eviction crisis\, which could add to the already too large number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. 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 Friday\, October 1\, 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. There will be Closed Captions available on Zoom. \nPlease register below to let us know you will participate and to receive further instructions on how to access the meeting. \n

SUMMARY:Ramsey County Budget Hearing
DESCRIPTION:For too long\, Ramsey County has been the only metro HRA (Housing Redevelopment Authority) that has not used its ability to raise funds for affordable housing through a property tax. The County Board hopes to change that\, and we want to voice our support. Join us for the hearing\, which will be both online and in person\, and for a virtual debrief to start whenever the hearing concludes! \nThe hearing begins  at 4:30 p.m. without a pre-determined end time. Our virtual Zoom debrief will begin immediately after it ends and have Closed Captioning available. Please register below to receive a link and more information. \n

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:Minneapolis Housing Committee Meeting - 5/18/21
DESCRIPTION:The Affordable Housing Trust Fund and Tax Credit programs are two of the biggest sources of funding for the housing we build for residents who have faced many barriers to stable homes.

Thanks to many who sent in public comments and attended meetings\, Council Members and the Mayor have pledged support\, yet staff are resisting changes. Show up to witness this meeting of the Business\, Inspections\, Housing and Zoning committee.

SUMMARY:Funding Home: Hennepin Commissioner Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Often the most important things are the most difficult. Funding homes for people at the lowest incomes is one of those very important things. And because what we do takes all kinds of funding\, it is also one of the most difficult. \nHennepin County is a primary funding source for creating homes for families. In May\, the county commissioners will vote on which homes get built\, for whom and when. \nDespite our many conversations with county commissioners\, roadblocks to funding homes (this year) like Emerson Village and Vista 44 remain. Few commitments have been made. And although the county says they share our priority to support those at the lowest income\, the funding allocated to homes for those families hasn’t actually been prioritized. \nBe part of one or all of the three meetings with county commissioners in April as we invite them to join us in prioritizing funding homes for those that struggle the most finding a safe\, stable place to live. \nThis event will feature West Hennepin congregations and leaders\, and District 6 Commissioner Chris LaTondresse and District 7 Commissioner Kevin Anderson. \nFunding Home terms to know

SUMMARY:Funding Home: A Conversation with Mayor Frey
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the City of Minneapolis invests millions every year in the Affordable Housing Trust Fund? This is one of the sources of capital that has helped our collaborative build housing like Bimosedaa and Lydia Apartments. But only 20% of the apartments funded in 2020 were affordable for people earning incomes below $30\,000 – and we think the City should commit to increasing that. Join the Emerson Village team leaders for a conversation with Mayor Frey about how the Trust Fund could better live up to its potential as a powerful tool to reduce homelessness. \n

SUMMARY:Emerson Village: Mpls City Council Vote
DESCRIPTION:Emerson Village is at-risk of being passed over for critical funding from the Minneapolis Affordable Housing Trust Fund. \nThe Minneapolis Business\, Inspections\, Housing and Zoning Committee (BIHZ) did not recommend Emerson Village to the City Council for Affordable Housing Trust Fund dollars. Emerson Village has the fourth highest score in the competitive proposal process and has the highest number of homes restricted to people with the lowest incomes but it was passed over in favor of projects that scored lower and/or that have fewer homes restricted to people earning less than 30 percent of the area median income. \nEmerson Village deserves the award of AHTF funds. We’re calling on the Minneapolis City Council to amend the BIHZ recommendations to include funding for Emerson Village. The Council has said housing – especially housing for people with the lowest incomes – is a priority. \nPlease register for information on how to watch the Council meeting and for a Zoom link to debrief with the collaborative following the vote. We will want to report a strong contingent of supporters to councilmembers during the meeting!
