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: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.
