Monday, February 1, at 6:30pm, to discuss upcoming major policies I am working
to enact at the City to prevent displacement, preserve affordable housing,
promote homeownership opportunities, and protect renters, especially the
lowest-income residents in our community.
The first of these policies is Tenant Opportunity to Purchase, which would give
renters the legal right to purchase the buildings they call home when an owner
decides to sell. I have been working with my colleagues Steve Fletcher, Jeremy
Schroeder, and Jeremiah Ellison on this ordinance. Gretchen Nicholls with Twin
Cities LISC will be present to share information about a very important report
the City worked with LISC and Washington DCโs Coalition for Nonprofit Housing
and Economic Development.
The second policy we will discuss is Rent Stabilization/Control. I am working
to put a question on the 2021 ballot that will authorize the City to adopt a
rent stabilization policy, which is a first step that is required by state law.
There are many more issues related to housing as well, and we will attempt to
answer other questions related to housing. To join the forum, use this link:

If you can't attend but want to offer feedback or learn more, please reach out
to me and my office anytime.
