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:Recognizing Hosting\, Expanding Community
DESCRIPTION:Families Moving Forward hosts are invited to join us for a hybrid event happening in person at Robbinsdale Parkway UCC and online on Zoom.

Join us to be recognized for your deep commitment to providing shelter and learn how that commitment to community is the foundation for our ability to build housing and impact policy as a collaborative. Hear about ways to take action for housing like Emerson Village and keep living out the vision that all people have a home. \nPlease indicate in the registration form how you will be joining us. You have two options:\n1. In person: at Robbinsdale Parkway UCC\, 4200 Lake Rd\, Robbinsdale\, MN 55422.\n2.
