SUMMARY:Richfield Planning Commission Meeting\, 10-23-2023
DESCRIPTION:The Planning Commission Meeting on October 23 represents a major step toward building Aster Commons in Richfield. During this event\, members of the Richfield Planning Commission will review the proposal to build Aster Commons and consider the potential challenges and issues around the project. \nMembers of the planning commission will then likely vote on whether or not to approve the project\, which is why we need members of the Beacon community to show up in support of this desperately needed affordable housing development for neurodivergent young adults. \nThis is where local democracy takes place AND where you can influence it just by showing up in support of affordable housing for at-risk individuals. If you’re looking for an easy\, impactful way to support the development of deeply affordable housing\, THIS IS IT! \nYou can learn more about Aster Commons and what makes it such a crucial\, one-of-a-kind development by visiting our blog.

SUMMARY:Met Council CDC Meeting: Vote on HRA Annual Plan
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at the Met Council’s Community Development Committee Meeting. We will be there to witness their vote on the Metro Housing Redevelopment Authorities Annual Plan. We have been advocating all year to make changes to the annual plan and only achieved one small change. Our hope for an annual\, consistent flow of Project Based Vouchers will not be in the plan\, but we are successfully raising the issue and putting pressure on council members. And we intend to keep that pressure up until the Met Council decides to automatically allocate project based vouchers each year for the development of new affordable housing in the suburbs.  \nJoin us to witness to the Met Council members we aren’t giving up and not going away. Please wear blue or your Beacon T-Shirt.

SUMMARY:Shakopee Planning Commission: Prairie Pointe\, September 7
DESCRIPTION:The City of Shakopee approved land use for Prairie Pointe—affordable housing for families—in 2020 because of how vital the development is in meeting the community’s needs and how deeply the projects align with the city’s stated goals and commitments around housing. The community and the city already came together around this development as a crucial answer to solving the growing concerns of housing instability. \nBut now\, a proposal seeks to undermine these community decisions by pushing to unlawfully rezone the property in direct opposition to the city’s stated values and goals. \nShow up in solidarity with Prairie Pointe at the Planning Commission meeting (we’ll gather at 6:30 p.m. to prepare for the meeting at 7 p.m.) on September 7 and demonstrate that you believe quality affordable housing belongs in all communities! \nNote: This is an in-person-only event.

SUMMARY:Shakopee Planning Commission: Prairie Pointe
DESCRIPTION:The City of Shakopee approved land use for Prairie Pointe\, supportive housing for families\, in 2020 because of how important the development is in meeting the needs of the community and how deeply the projects align with the city’s stated goals and commitments around housing. The community and the city already came together around this development as a key answer to solving the growing concerns of housing instability. \nBut now\, there is a proposal seeking to undermine these community decisions by pushing to unlawfully rezone the property in direct opposition to the city’s stated values and goals. We are shocked that the Planning Commission is considering this unprecedented move to invalidate the community decision to support Prairie Pointe and the dedicated investments that have been made. \nShow up in solidarity with Prairie Pointe at the Planning Commission meeting (we’ll gather at 6:30 p.m. to prepare for the meeting at 7 p.m.) on August 3 and demonstrate that you believe quality affordable housing belongs in all communities! \nNote: This is an in-person-only event.
