SUMMARY:Rent is Due: Day of Action - 10/3/22
DESCRIPTION:Our vision is that all people have a home. The pandemic and economic crisis have been 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\, Minnesota\, a rent support program that will allow all low-income Minnesotans the security and reassurance of home. \nOn Monday\, October 3\, join us on Zoom 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. This meeting will have Closed Captions available. \nPlease register below to let us know you will participate and to receive further instructions on how to access the meeting.

SUMMARY:Beacon Now: How Does a Collaborative Work? - 10/5/22
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re brand new to Beacon or have been a supporter for years\, we invite you to attend a virtual “Beacon Now” session. In each session\, we’ll touch on the basics of Beacon’s work\, go in depth on one aspect of that work\, and discuss how we can make a difference for Minnesotans now. Encampments of people without a home are again growing. Racial disparities in housing continue to harm communities of color. \nThis session will cover “How Does a Collaborative Work?” Learn about the benefits of Beacon’s collaborative of congregations and how we are able to achieve more together for home than we could individually. \nThis Zoom event will have Closed Captioning available.

SUMMARY:West Metro Candidate Forum - 10/6/22
DESCRIPTION:The best way to bring more affordable housing to Minnesota is creating relationships. We are doing a series of candidate forums around the state to create and build these important and strategic relationships. \nOn Thursday\, October 6 at St. Barnabas Lutheran Church in Plymouth\, we are inviting all candidates for Senate districts 42 and 45 and House districts 42A and 45A\, focusing on races where neither candidate is an incumbent in the office for which they are running. \nA major topic for discussion at the forum will be the desperate need for rent support. Over 500\,000 Minnesotans pay more than 30% of their monthly income in rent. Tens of thousands will wait 5-7 years to receive a federal rent voucher. The critical lack of rent subsidies is also one of the biggest barriers to building more deeply affordable housing. To address this problem\, Beacon has introduced a bill called “Bring it Home\, Minnesota\,” which would create a state rent support program. We will be interested to learn how candidates would vote on this bill and their specific plan to reduce housing insecurity and homelessness in our community. \nPlease join us as we come together to hold our candidates accountable for providing more affordable housing in the state.
