SUMMARY:Rent is Due: Day of Action - 3/01/21
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 Monday\, March 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. \nPlease register below to let us know you will participate and to receive further instructions on how to access the meeting. \nWe look forward to joining with you on March 1.

SUMMARY:Light the Way Home
DESCRIPTION:Working together\, we believe it’s possible for all people to have a home. If we join our voices and our resources\, we believe we have the power to see this happen in our lifetimes. Ensuring this future will require the investment of both public and private funds. \nIt takes nearly $4 million from our community each year to push our work forward. Thousands of people give what they can as a testament to their values. \nLight the Way Home is a series of virtual fundraising events where attendees are invited to give generously and introduce others to our vision. Light the Way Home offers an invitation for you to give generously or in any way that’s meaningful to you. \n**Please select “Attendee: Quantity 1” below to begin your registration:

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
