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!

SUMMARY:Candidate Forum: Senate and House District 44
DESCRIPTION:We believe in creating more equitable communities where all people have a home. This vision is in jeopardy as the pandemic and economic downturn are making our housing crisis much worse. A now looming eviction crisis will impact communities across the state\, unless our elected leaders act. \nJoin us as we take this first step and engage our local candidates for public office in this needed and urgent discussion. We will engage the candidates in a conversation to hear their vision for who will make decisions about who gets housed\, the crisis of homelessness\, and the long term solutions\, like Bring it Home\, MN\, Beacon’s rent subsidy campaign. \nFor this meeting we’re inviting candidates for Senate District 44 and House District 44 A/B\, in the area of Plymouth\, Minnetonka\, and Medina. House and Senate District 44 races are essential to many Beacon members who live in the district. The state legislature has a critical role to play in meeting the current challenge and working toward long term solutions. Conversations with these candidates will focus on responses to the growing crisis\, long term solutions like Bring It Home\, MN\, and the state’s responsibility to put resources toward those who need it the most. \n**Please select “Attendee: Quantity 1” below to begin your registration**

SUMMARY:Light the Way Home
DESCRIPTION:Working together\, we believe it’s possible for all people to have a home. We believe we have the power\, if we join our voices and our resources\, to see this happen in our lifetimes. It takes nearly $4 million from our community each year to push our work forward\, with thousands of people giving what they can as a testament to their values.  Light the Way Home is a series of virtual fundraising events where attendees are invited to give generously and introduce others to our vision. Ensuring this future will require the investment of both public and private funds\, and Light the Way Home offers an invitation for you to give generously or in any way that’s meaningful to you. \n

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 Tuesday\, September 1\, when rent is due\, join us at 8:30 a.m. for a thirty-minute update meeting\, where we will learn more about the growing crisis\, reflect together over instructions 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. \nWe are committed to holding a Rent is Due: Day of Action every month\, so please mark your calendars for the rest of the year. We plan on having this event the first of the month\, except when it lands on the weekend. Our next two dates will be Thursday\, October 1\, and Monday\, November 2. \nWe look forward to joining with you on September 1. \n

SUMMARY:Jim Crow of the North Discussion
DESCRIPTION:George Floyd was killed by a police officer in the Central neighborhood\, one of the historically redlined neighborhoods of South Minneapolis. The Mapping Prejudice project at the University of Minnesota has uncovered thousands of racial covenants on properties around Minneapolis and beyond which actually created the map used to exclude Black families from home ownership while investing in the wealth of white families. In spite of many changes\, Minnesota still has some of the widest racial disparities in the nation and patterns of police violence continue to endanger Black communities. Please watch the film on your own at the link below and join in a discussion with organizing staff about how the racist housing policies of the past are still haunting us – and how we might consider our work for shelter\, housing and policy in this context. \nWatch Jim Crow of the North here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWQfDbbQv9E \nThe link to join the virtual discussion will be in your registration confirmation email. \n
