All
right,
the
minutes
from
last
month's
meeting
are
approved
next
on
our
agenda.
Is
the
committee's
public
comment
opportunity
the
advisory
committee
on
housing
set
aside
10
minutes
on
each
of
our
agendas
to
hear
public
comments
from
non-committee
members?
We
ask
that
each
person
making
a
comment
keep
their
remarks
to
one
minute.
All
comments
should
be
related
to
the
housing
issues
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
when
possible,
related
to
items
on
the
committee's
agenda.
For
this
meeting.
D
D
It
sounds
like
there's
not
so
I
think
we
can
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item,
which
is
committee
membership
and
talking
about
vacancies
and
recruitment
joey
did
you
want
to
refresh?
I
can't
remember
if
you
talked
to
the
group
or
just
the
co-chairs
about
the
process
for
filling
the
vacancies
in
the
on
the
committee.
A
So
not
just
ours
but
they're,
moving
to
having
kind
of
two
main
opening
and
recruitment
periods
per
year,
one
in
the
spring
and
one
in
the
fall,
the
spring
recruitment
period
is
I'm
going
to
be
opening
up
here.
I
should
have
the
exact
dates
in
front
of
me:
I'll
pull
that
up
mid-march
so
sometime
next
week
for
all
the
vacancies
that
are
currently
available
to
the
public
for
boards
and
commissions.
A
So
we
just
wanna
to
make
sure
you
knew
that
if
there
were
other
boards
and
commissions
that
you
wanted
to
look
at
vacancies,
for
if
there
are
people
in
your
networks
who
are
interested
in
serving
in
similar
ways
that
you
all
have
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
and
make
sure
that
that
was
that
you
all
were
aware
of
that.
I
can.
We
can
circulate
the
link
to
where
those
will
be
publicly
posted
as
follow
up
to
this
meeting
and
then,
with
regard
to
the
housing,
our
advisory
committee
on
housing.
A
A
A
If
you
have
any
questions
about
that
and
then
the
final
piece
of
that
is
just
that
we,
the
members
of
this
committee,
serve
two-year
terms,
and
so
those
will
be
up
those
the
current
terms
expire
at
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
So
all
committee
members
will
need
to
re
if
you
want
to
still
be
on
this
committee
next
year,
we'll
need
everyone
would
need
to
reapply
in
october.
So
just
wanted
to
get
that
kind
of.
Let
everyone
know
the
framework
of
how
that's
happening.
A
If
you
hear
from
other
angles
about
openings
on
boards
and
commissions,
that's
what's
going
on
so
feel
free
to
reach
out.
If
you
have
additional
questions.
The
other
thing
that
I'll
just
tag
on
to
that
sort
of
administrative
housekeeping
is
to
confirm
with
everyone
that
I
can.
I
can
confirm
that
our
april
meeting,
at
least
will
will
remain
virtual.
A
A
Yeah
there
are
a
couple
of
organizations
that
are
designated
like
mpha,
for
example,
and
so
that'll
it'll
just
be
left
to
that
organization,
like
charlotte,
for
example,
took
over.
I
think
from
ryan,
so
it'll
be
up
to
that
organization
to
appoint
someone
and
that
won't
go
through
the
normal
kind
of
recruitment
and
legislative
process.
But
there
are
others
that
are
more
general,
like
you
know,
someone
who
serves
people
experiencing
homelessness
or
those
ones.
A
If
you
look
on
our
committee
website,
there's
a
chart
of
membership
and
it
says
who
the
appointing
body
is
for
each
position:
it'll
either
say
it's
a
mayoral
appointment
or
a
council
appointment
or
other,
and
those
are
those
like
organizational
designated
spots.
So
any
that
are
mayoral
or
council
appointed
need
to
be
approved
through
the
city
council
approval
process,
yeah.
D
All
right
sounds
good
and
yeah.
I
also
wanted
to
extend
the
invitation
to
join
leadership
for
anyone
who's
interested
in
the
in
the
group.
We'll
talk
about
it
again
after
we
get
some.
You
know
fresh
members,
but
if
anyone's
interested
in
helping
set
agenda
and
doing
a
little
work
behind
the
scenes
queen
and
I
and
joey
I
think-
would
love
to
have
your
help.
So
if
that's
something
you're
interested
in
go
ahead
and
send
any
of
us
all
of
us,
an
email.
C
D
D
H
I
can
do
that
thanks
so
good
afternoon.
Everyone,
I
am
andra
bosniag.
I
work
in
regulatory
services.
I
am
the
department's
interagency
coordinator,
so
I
work
on
policy
development.
I
leave
that
for
the
department-
and
so
I
am
here
today
just
to
give
a
very
general
overview
of
some
of
the
renter
protections
that
we've
introduced
in
the
last
few
years.
A
lot
of
these
reside
primarily
in
regulatory
services,
but
there's
also
a
lot
of
interaction
with
cpad,
and
some
of
them
are
actually
reside
in
cpet.
So
this
is
not
a
complete
list.
H
H
Thank
you
so
much
so,
the
first
one
that
we
have
is
advanced
notice
of
sale
and
the
post
post-sale
rental
protections.
These
were
two
parts
of
the
ordinance.
At
the
time
we
had
seen
a
lot
of
increased
sales
of
buildings
in
minneapolis
to
new
property
owners
that
would
then
increase
the
rents
rapidly
and
so
in
order
to
provide
more
of
a
transition
for
renters
and
also
more
stability.
H
While
this
was
happening,
this
ordinance
requires
building
owners
of
noaa
properties
to
give
notice
to
the
city
60
days
before
they
are
putting
their
properties
up
for
sale.
Noaa
properties,
if
you
recall,
are
defined
as
buildings
with
five
or
more
units
in
which
at
least
twenty
percent
of
those
units
are
affordable
at
sixty
percent
of
ami.
H
So
there
are
a
few
forms
that
property
owners
have
to
submit
both
to
the
city,
both
cped
and
regulatory
services,
as
well
as
posting
in
buildings.
To
let
renters
know
that
this
is
happening
and
then
for
90
days
after
the
notice
of
the
sale
is
given.
Then,
if
any
of
the,
if
the
lease
is
terminated
without
cause,
if
rents
are
increased
within
those
90
days
or
if
the
renters
have
to
be
rescreened,
then
they
are
eligible
for
relocation,
assistance
which
is
equal
to
three
months
rent
next,
one.
H
Also
around
this
time,
we
had
introduced
inclusive
screening
criteria
and
security
deposits.
This
was
an
ordinance
that
addressed
some
of
the
obstacles
that
renter
might
encounter
in
acquiring
housing
in
minneapolis
and
across
the
country.
This
is
something
that
we
see
happening
a
lot.
We
had
a
big
work
work
group
of
stakeholders
who
worked
in
implementing
this
ordinance
and
providing
property
owners
with
all
of
the
information
of
how
to
go
about
this,
for
the
inclusive
screening
criteria
it
set
limits
on
look
backs
things
like
criminal,
rental
and
credit
histories.
H
There
was
both
a
criteria
the
property
owners
could
use,
or
they
could
provide
their
own
criteria.
However,
if
they
provided
their
own
criteria,
they
had
to
share
the
reasoning
for
the
denial
of
a
rental
application
and
then
also
give
the
applicant
the
opportunity
to
provide
any
contact
sort
of
things
that
they
had
done
since
then,
since
you
know
whatever
the
the
history
was
that
maybe
they
were
being
denied
for
and
provide
other
materials
as
needed.
H
If
they
did
both
first
and
last
month,
then
they
had
to
have
the
option
of
paying
it
over
three
months
in
installments
the
ordinance
went
into
effect
in
2020.
There
were
two
different
sort
of
stages
for
going
into
it,
but
we
also
have
a
lot
of
the
information
online
for
the
for
the
criteria
and
sort
of
some
of
the
the
presentations
that
we
had
walking
property
owners
through
how
to
comply
next.
H
Tenant
relocation
assistance-
this
was
looking
at
rental
licenses
that
maybe
were
being
revoked
or
denied
or
even
cancel.
So
these
are
basically
revocation
occurs.
When
a
dwelling
fails
to
comply
with
rental
licensing
standards,
it
can
be
denied
if
perhaps
renters
were
already
living
there,
but
it
does
not
comply
with
our
housing
standards
or
cancelled.
H
So
this
is
just
another
safety
net
for
renters.
If
property
owners
are
not
complying
with
the
the
regulations
and
the
housing
code
that
they
need
to
do,
and
so
in
order
to
hold
them
accountable,
but
not
damage
sort
of
the
the
relationships
that
we
have
with
renters,
we
did
the
tenant,
relocation
assistance,
and
so
the
benefits
were
given
per
unit
and
there
did
not
have
to
be
a
written
lease.
H
Single
room
occupancy,
so
this
was
a
housing
option
that
was
available
in
minneapolis
in
the
1970s
that
was
eventually
phased
out.
It
was
looking
at
filling
in
the
gaps
on
the
housing
continuum
in
the
city,
addressing
people
who
are
unable
to
pay
the
normal
rents,
but
were
willing
to
maybe
share
a
kitchen
or
a
bathroom.
H
So
these
were
some
of
you
know
if
hotels
were
available
or
motels
to
be
transformed
into
units
where
people
can
live
at
lower
rent,
but
you
know
and
have
that
basic
accommodation,
then
this
new
regulatory
framework
allowed
for
that.
So
these
are
units
that
are
permitted
on
parcels
where
regulations
allow
four
plus
dwelling
units.
So
these
are
larger
lots
in
the
city,
7
500
square
feet.
H
This
was
not
meant
to
be
sort
of
a
family
on
the
housing
continuum.
It's
looking
at
up
to
two
occupants
per
room
and
for
the
time
being,
I'm
sort
of
looking
to
be
operated
by
nonprofit
or
government
agencies
who
have
experience
in
this
type
of
buildings
and
then
being
open
to
eventually
changing
that.
If
we
see
that
as
a
very
helpful
housing
model.
I
H
H
H
H
H
At
time
of
rent
energy
disclosure,
this
was
an
ordinance
that
was
passed
in
2018..
It
went
into
effect
last
year
there
were
a
few
other
ordinance
changes
that
went
around
the
same
time
around
energy
benchmarking
in
the
city.
This
one
in
particular
required
that
property
owners
disclose
the
amount
of
energy
that
is
being
used
in
general
for
a
unit
in
that
building.
H
There's
a
look
back
of
two
years.
This
was
a
large
city-wide
staff
group
that
worked
on
implementation,
as
well
as
working
with
utility
companies
to
create
a
portal
that
would
allow
owners
to
provide
the
energy
use
and
cost
and
cost
of
the
time
that
they
would
have
a
unit
up
for
rent,
and
so
it
allows
renter
really
to
have
that
that
cost
built
into
you
know
when
they
formulate
how
much
they
can
afford
for
rent.
H
They
know
it
up
front
and
then
also
creating
that
incentive
for
building
owners
to
use
some
of
the
resources
either
from
the
city
or
from
the
utility
companies
to
do
some
energy
efficiency
upgrades
and
then
to
also
project
low-cost
households.
If
there
are
sort
of
unexpected
increases
that
they
would
know
about
upfront,
at
least
in
general,
you
know
this
is
how
much
this
type
of
energy
would
cost
for
the
for
the
units.
H
And
then
this
is
was
yet
another
safety
net.
Also
looking
at
the
end
of
the
eviction
moratorium,
and
it
was
the
city
being
worried
about
the
lasting
impact
of
of
possible
evictions,
making
sure
that
renters
with
low
incomes
who
oftentimes
lack
legal
representation
had
the
right
to
counsel.
It
was
aimed
at
renters
whose
income
is
less
than
twenty
percent.
H
Two
hundred
percent
of
the
federal
poverty
line
and
also
established
the
goal
of
all
low-income
tenants
being
able
to
having
an
attorney
provided
you
know,
knowing
that
legal
representation
reduces
evictions
and
then
also
it
reduces
the
reliance
on
emergency
resources.
And
so
this
was
a
service
that
then,
would
be
able
to
be
provided
more
up
front,
especially
for
low
income
and
then
also
for
disproportionately
impacted
and
bipoc
communities.
H
H
H
With
this
funding
we're
able
to
to
sort
of
go
outside
of
the
norm
that
we
usually
do
either
through
emails
or
city
websites,
and
so
we're
able
to
do
some.
You
know
advertising
on
on
benches
and
billboards
and
do
some
more
radio
shows
on
on
cultural
radio
programs
and
so
really
looking
at
having
more
of
that
holistic.
H
G
I'm
just
wondering
my
first
question
is
like
how
much
people
are
utilizing
that
and
then
my
second
is
how
how
would
we
go
about
connecting
a
family
with
that
and
also
making
sure
that
before
we
connect
them,
maybe
we've
sort
of
screened
and
fielded
that
it
would
actually
lead
to
some
fruition.
Any
thoughts
on
that.
J
J
J
It
may
be
an
illegal
occupancy
that
we
come
across
so
right
now
and
we
have
a
small
pool
of
money
that
was
up
front
for
us
to
use
for
this
and
I'd
say:
we've
done
it
about
seven
or
eight
times
in
the
last,
maybe
not
even
that
past
year
and
again
it's
because
we
control
sort
of.
I
can
right
now,
for
example,
we're
trying
not
to
condemn
properties.
I
mean,
obviously,
we
never
want
to
condemn
properties
but
we're
using
something
called
a
tenant
remedies.
J
Action
which
is
again
is
another
way
to
get
the
work
done
on
the
property
without
destabilizing
the
the
family
in
the
home
and
revocations
again
we're
trying
to
be
very
sparing
as
how
we
use
revocation.
So
I
would
say
that,
right
now
we
we
know
of
all
that,
so
I'm
so
if
we
have
a
situation
where
this
condemnation,
our
rental
housing
liaisons,
will
immediately
go
prior
to
that
condemnation
and
start
working
with
the
family
on
relocation,
assistance
or,
if
there's
a
revocation
again
our
rental
housing
liaisons,
will
move
into
that.
J
So
it's
not
just
any
situation
that
the
relocation
it's
pretty
narrowly
focused
to
when
the
government's
roll
out
sort
of
unintended
consequences
for
the
vacate
of
the
family
or
the
house.
So
so,
if
you,
if
we
miss
somebody
for
some
reason,
you
could
certainly
send
them
our
way,
but,
generally
speaking,
we're
the
ones
who
are
causing
the
action
so
we're
the
ones
who
start
the
relocation.
At
our
end,
that
makes.
J
G
J
If
you
find
out
like
recently,
we've
gotten
a
lot
more
as
people
again,
the
reloca,
the
renters
rights
campaign
is
going
to
be
very
important
because
we
still
know
people.
We
still
are
pretty
clear
that
people
don't
know
their
rights,
because
you
know
we've
gotten
not
a
lot
of
complaints
on
the
limited
look
back
or
the
security
deposit,
but
you
know
we
know
that
that's
happening
pretty
regularly
or
we're
assuming
and
the
sale
of
a
property.
Just
recently,
we've
gotten
several
renters
who
sort
of
found
out
three
months.
J
E
J
Yeah,
we
haven't
done
that,
yet
it's
it's,
it
definitely
was
something
we
talked
about,
and
I
think
we
at
some
point,
especially
once
these
renter
protection
campaign
work
is
done,
is
going
back
and
looking
at
sort
of
the
efficacy
of
all
of
our
our
rent
rental
protections
when
we
get
us
better
sense
but
yeah.
So
no,
we
have
not
done
yet
an
evaluation
of
whether
or
not
there's
been
an
impact
on
on
how
owners.
E
D
J
Well,
we
definitely
have
the
number
of
units
and
we
have
do.
We
have
a
general
idea
of
where
the
affordable
units
are
yes
through
research,
that
cped's
done
and
sale
or
rents,
etc.
But
I
would
say
that
we
don't
have
like
we
don't
know
100
of
where
they
are
some.
So
some
of
it's
going
to
be
after
the
fact
katie
is
going
to
jump
in,
go
ahead.
I
Sorry,
I
didn't
mean
to
interrupt
you
kelly.
I
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
I
had
something
to
add
to
it
so
hi
everyone
and
I
joined
late.
So
I
didn't
see
most
of
andra's
presentation,
but
just
in
terms
of
scott's
question
I
mean
we
don't
have
like
a
rental
registry
or
so
we,
you
know,
we
don't
know
rents
for
like
every
property
in
the
city
or
anything
like
that.
I
Often
with
noaa
properties,
we've
been
able
to
identify
what
they
are
based
on
the
age
of
the
building
and
just
kind
of
the
you
know,
amenities
associated
with
the
building
and
sort
of
use
that
as
a
proxy
for
identifying
node
properties,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
been
able
to
do
to
get
a
better
sense
of
what
our
noaa
housing
stock
looks
like
like
kelly,
said:
there's
been
re,
you
know,
there's
been
research
done,
lisk
a
local
initiative.
Support
corporation
looks
at
that.
I
I
D
J
D
Yeah,
I
guess
what
I'm
getting
at
is
kelly.
When
you
were
talking
about
you
know
a
rental
property,
that's
being
condemned,
and
you
know
the
city
can
be
on
top
of
that
and
can
you
know
be
informing
the
residents
of
their?
You
know
possible
rights
to
relocation
assistance,
but
for
this
advanced
sale
it
seems
much
more
kind
of
complaint
based
and
maybe
reactive
than
than
proactive
is
that
is
that
correct.
J
It
is
we've.
Yes,
we've
established
that,
because
of
the
complexity
of
actually
knowing
where
affordable.
You
know
that
oil
housing
is
that
we'll
operate
it
through
complaint
and
education.
So
our
first
goal
is
educate
people
so
that
they
know,
if
educate,
owners
and
renters,
that
if
the
house's
property
is
for
sale,
you
know
there's
some
requirements.
E
J
I
mean
we
have
told
them.
We've
told
them
multiple
times
in
multiple
ways,
but
if
they're
not
reading
the
information
right,
if
they
that
there
isn't
a
ton
that
we
can
do
other
than
we
will
issue
enforcement
and
citation
if
we
feels
like
if
we're
getting,
if
we
have
a
non-response
once
we
find
out
about
a
sale.
F
Yes,
so
with
the
rental
ordinance
and
all
the
other
bills
that
that's
gotten
passed
over
time,
how
do
renters
as
because
kelly
said
you
know,
wrenches,
don't
really
know
their
rights.
Most
of
them
don't
have.
So
when
the
renter
is
going
through
the
process
of
fighting
for
their
rights
and
they're.
Using
all
of
these
new
policies,
that's
in
place,
how
do
the
renters
use
these
policies?
How
do
they
say?
Oh,
my
goodness,
I
got
to
go.
Use
the
renter
ordinance
pro
like
how
do
they
know
how
to
use
it?
F
F
J
Thanks
coroner,
let
me
take
it
in
two
parts:
one
is
we're
really
making
an
an
ins
concerted
effort
to
get
so
people
know
their
rights
ahead
of
the
time,
because
all
of
this
stuff
is
you,
gotta
know
your
rights.
You
know
when
you're
walking
in
the
door
for
the
security
deposit
or
the
criminal
background
or
the
limited
look
back.
You
have
to
know
your
rights
when
you're
living
in
the
apartment.
J
So
our
goal
is
to
do
as
much
education
as
possible,
and
then
it
becomes
unfortunately
a
complaint
based
system
because
we
just
don't
have
you
know
we
can't
be
everywhere
at
once,
and
but
once
we
once,
we
have
a
complaint.
We
do
act
on
it
really
really
quickly
and
and
do
enforcement
that
way
recently,
for
example,
we
found
out
about
it
was
an
advanced
notice
of
sale.
We
got
in
there
earl
and
negotiated
a
an
extra
couple
months
on
the
rent
increases
that
the
owner
was
planning.
J
Now
we
couldn't
stop
the
rent
increases,
but
we
were
able
to
intervene
to
sort
of
negotiated
enforcement
at
that
point
because
we
could
have
leveled
some
fines,
but
the
owner
agreed
with
us
to
actually
extend
the
period
of
the
rent
increase.
So
that's
sort
of
an
example
of
where
how
we're
trying
to
jump
in
and
protect
renters,
but
but
just
we
couldn't
stop
the
rent
increase.
But
because
the
ordinance
says
it's
a
90-day
window.
But
we
did.
We
were
able
to
buy
a
little
more
time.
F
A
Sure
I
can
start
and
then
others
can
fill
in
great
question.
So
the
charter
amendment
that
passed
in
november
basically
allowed
the
voters,
gave
the
city
permission
to
consider
a
rent,
stabilization
policy
and
right
now,
council
leadership
early
in
the
term
in
january,
expressed
an
interest
in
setting
up
a
work
group
with
various
stakeholders
to
to
consider
aspects
of
policies
that
exist
and
what
kind
of
considerations
the
minneapolis
policymakers
should
consider
right.
Now.
A
That's
still
in
the
works
kind
of
the
details
of
what
that
work
group
will
look
like
who
should
be
represented
on.
It
are
all
still
in
the
works,
but
it
is
actively
being
worked
on
and
I
think
it'll
likely
be
kind
of
moving
through
council
in
the
coming
weeks
or
next
month
or
two.
So
I
think
you
can
expect
it
to
learn
more
pretty
soon,
but
it
has
not
been
finalized.
A
Yet
I
will
say
that
I
think
everyone
from
both
you
know
sort
of
elected
officials,
the
council
and
the
mayor's
office
and
staff.
All
very
much
intend
to
engage
with
this
committee
as
the
city's
advisory
committee
on
housing
in
in
some
shape
or
form
the
details
of
what
that
looks
like
have,
like,
I
said,
haven't
been.
A
You
know
all
sorted
out
yet,
but
the
the
plan
is
very
much
to
engage
with
this
committee
as
that
process
and
developing
any
policy
proposals
moves
forward
in
the
coming
weeks
and
months,
so
that
it's
not
a
as
good
of
an
answer.
You
know
not
a
clear
answer,
but
I
think
a
more
clear
answer
will
be
coming
soon,
but
because
it's
being
worked
on
right
now,.
F
Okay,
thanks
for
that
update-
and
yes,
I
attended
the
the
senate
meeting
today
and
is
this
a
lot,
so
I
just
want
people
to
know
that
you
know.
Rent
control
is
not
a
punishment
to
landlords.
You
know
it's
to
help
bridge
the
gap
for
everyone,
but
landlords.
That's
corporate
and
he's
got
all
this
money
they
just
they
don't
want
anything
to
happen
and
things
like
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
not
being
displaced
on
the
street.
F
You
know
and
it's
only
what
a
three
percent
raise
or
whatever
the
cash
might
possibly
be,
but
we
don't
want
people
to
continue
to
be
on
the
streets
and
so
with
these
same
policies
again,
that's
in
place
so
that
wrenches
do
know
they
right
when
we
have
the
rent
control
and
it
gets
passed
and
everything
is
all
finished
and
said
and
done.
How
will
renters
know
what
rent
control
well,
what
community
rent
control
is
in?
So
how
do
we
know
you
know?
Hey
4809
is
a
rent
control
property
or
this
neighborhood.
F
A
I'll
just
I'll
just
answer
karina
this
is
joey.
I
think
that
you're
raising
really
important
questions
that
will
need
to
be
figured
out
because
there's
not
a
policy
yet
it'll
really
depend
on
what
the
policy
says.
Is
it
a
you
know
and
whether
a
policy
gets
passed
at
all
if
a
policy
is
sort
of
a
blanket
percent
cap
or
if
it's,
if
there
are
different
rules
that
apply
to
different
kinds
of
policy
or
properties?
Excuse
me
that
will
all
impact
you
know.
Since
those
pieces
haven't
been
worked
out.
A
F
Yeah
so
yeah,
I
would
like
to
you
know,
sit
on
that
work
group,
because
I
think
it's
important
that
we
have
the
voice
of
the
renters
on
there.
We
need
people
with
good
faith
out
there.
You
know
no
biases,
no
conflict
of
interest
because
we
want
to
solve
and
fix
something
that
is,
you
know,
a
detriment
to
a
lot
of
people
right
now
we
got
people,
probably
you
know
getting
evicted
somewhere
and
we
don't
know
because
they
don't
know
their
rights,
and
you
know
it's
just.
F
D
J
You
know
I
mostly
wanted
to
say
that
this
is.
You
know
that
people
can
monitor
what's
happening
in
saint
paul
like
joey
is
attending,
or
you
can
listen
in
on
the
meetings
at
st
paul,
where
they're
grappling
with
implementation
issues
and
they
have
a
work
group,
a
very
large
work
group
and
they
have
public
virtual
meetings
every
tuesday
afternoon
right
and
then
there'll
be
another
forum.
J
That's
going
to
be
sponsored
by
the
federal
reserve,
also
on
rent
stabilization,
where
it's
going
to
just
be
providing
community
members
just
more
information
which
will
help
them
inform
the
work
group,
maybe
or
others
who
so
there'll
be
lots
of
opportunities
for
input,
as
well
as
education
about
rent
stabilization.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
all
right,
thanks
kelly
queen.
J
J
J
I
imagine
that
it
will
be
a
slightly
bit
of
a
slow
roll
and
I
think
there'll
be
less
it's
going
to
take
a
while
for
people
to
catch
up,
especially
if
they
want
to
convert
like
a
single
family
to
an
sro,
because
there's
a
few
more
hoops
that
they
need
to
go
through.
But
if
they
were
to
build
new
right-
and
I
know
that
there's
money
in
arpa
or
the
american
rescue
plan
act-
maybe
katie
can
talk
about
that
for
actually
acquiring
and
constructing
new
sros.
I
Yes,
I
can
add
to
that
so
first,
the
county
has
acquired
four
hotels
that
they
are
converting
in
the
process
of
converting
to
sros
and
they
will
be.
They
have
designated
some
arpa
money
to
help
pay
for
operators.
So
there'll
be
some
more
information
coming
about
out
about
that
in
the
coming
weeks,
the
city
also
the
city
council
designated
five
million
dollars
in
arpa
funds
for
acquisition
and
rehab
of
sros
so
to
acquire
properties
and
convert
them
to
sros.
I
We
have
not
put
that
money
out
yet
we're
still
kind
of
sorting
through
together
with
the
county,
about
the
best
way
to
to
make
that
money
available,
but
we
hope
to
have
a
process
for
awarding
those
funds.
Sometime
this
I
hate
to
put
an
exact
timeline
on
it,
but
we're
looking
to
do
it
sometime
this
summer
likely,
but
just
working
on
some
outreach
and
planning
around
that
right
now.
D
F
D
D
For
I'm
working
toward
is
making
sure
that
the
housing
advisory
committee
is
involved
in
and
you
particularly
are
involved
in.
You
know,
discussions
with
city
council
about
you
know,
setting
that
ordinance
and
just
more
generally,
having
updates
from
city
council
to
this
committee
in
the
next
month
or
two
is
something
that
I
think
is
pretty
important.
F
Yeah,
so
it's
really
quick
I'll
just
go
really
fast.
I
just
wrote
and
said:
rent
stabilization
is
important
as
renters
in
minneapolis,
who
spend
at
least
30
percent
of
their
income
alone
need
this
due
to
the
rise
in
rents
and
dis
in
the
rising
displacement
due
to
the
shortage
of
housing,
decent,
safe
housing,
affordable
and
healthy
housing
in
minneapolis.
Rent
stabilization
is
needed
now,
more
than
ever.
With
this
urgency
of
supply
and
demand
comes
displacement
as
the
city
grows.
F
Rent
control
is
needed
today,
as
we
are
finding
out,
so
many
residents
are
being
priced
out
of
their
own
communities
as
more
development
is
being
built.
The
rents
are
rising
and
they're
not
affordable
to
many
in
the
state
and
having
the
stabilization
support.
Renters
that
met
with
having
this
stabilization
support
for
renters
matter
and
should
be
a
priority
for
all
renters,
no
matter
how
much
they
pay
in
rent.
So
that
is
my
call
to
action
to
let
people
know
that
this
is
important.
D
K
I
did
I
I
did
I
I
think
I
got
a
place
where
I'm
not
dropping
a
call,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
wanted
to
thank
you
know
all
that
great
information
that
was
put
out
there,
but
my
question
is:
how
is
this
fair,
that
all
these
things
are
going
on
and
the
community
is
not
engaged
like?
That
is
the
always
the
big
problem,
particularly
I
live
in
north
minneapolis.
K
K
K
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
comment
and
put
something
something
like
that
out
there,
because
it
is
frustrating
for
me
to
hear
that
all
these
different
great
wonderful
info,
informative
pieces
are
here,
but
yet
there
are
people
that
don't
even
know
that
there's
a
housing
advisory
committee
that
has
a
shared
input
like
it.
I'm
not
I'm
not
understanding.
F
I
would
echo
what
queen
just
said.
I
don't
know
if
it's
too
late
to
do
this,
but
I
think
at
the
community
connections
commit
conference.
I
think
that
our
housing
committee
should
be
as
a
panel
discussion.
I
think
we
should
have
like
a
area
where
people
can
come.
I'm
not
sure
whatever
happened
to
the
event
that
was
supposed
to
happen
to
let
people
know
that
we
exist,
but
it's
needed
now
more
than
ever
and
people
we
right
now.
With
this
call,
we
should
have
rented.
F
We
have
people,
that's
concerned
about
our
housing.
You
know
infrastructure
here,
like
there's
a
lot
of
raised.
Questions
like
queen
just
said,
as
people
on
the
street
is
people
about
possibly
being
on
the
street,
so
we
need
to
let
people
know
that
this
exists
and
I
think
that
community
connection
will
be
somewhere.
We
that
we
should
have
some
kind
of
platform
there
to.
Let
people
know
that
you
know
it's
here.
J
I
think
that's
a
great
idea,
grinner.
In
fact,
I
just
got
an
email
about
the
community
connections
conference.
I
think
a
housing
advisory
committee
should
have
a
table
there
and
then
maybe
I'll
talk
to
karen
moe
who's,
helping
coordinate
it
to
see.
But
then
again
someone
will
have
to
like
organize
it
right
have
an
hour
session
on
the
housing
advisory
committee
or
what
you
do,
or
I
mean
so
I'll
I'll,
be
happy
to
follow
up
with
karen
moe
who's.
The
director.
J
J
H
H
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
sort
of
come
across
is
we
don't
have
maybe
contact
information,
and
so
one
of
the
things
with
looking
at
this
renter
protections
campaign
is
also
providing
maybe
a
way
that
they
can
sign
up.
For
you
know
things
like
e-blasts
from
directly
from
regulatory
services,
where
we
can
say
like
there's.
This
new
ordinance
like
these
are
what
your
rights
are
and
we
drew
we
work
with
neighborhood
organizations.
We
work
with
community
connections.
F
Yeah
and
then
to
after
that,
I
think
I
was
I
mentioned
this
to.
I
think
katie
too,
that
I
think
we
should
have
like
a
spokesperson.
You
know
to
talk
for
this
group.
You
know,
especially
when
it's
like
a
really
serious
situation
going
on
within
housing,
whether
it's
public
housing
residents
or
it's
market
rate
residents
that
live
in
a
condo
building
I
mean
whatever
it
is.
We
want
to
fix
it,
so
I
think
we
should
have
like
a
spokesperson
who
can
speak
for
this
committee.
F
I
think
that
if
we
possibly
have
that
and
think
at
the
community
connections,
we'd
have
keynote
speakers
and
again
we
can
have
a
spokesperson
who
can
speak
on
behalf
of
the
committee
by
you
know
letting
the
public
know
that
you
know
what's
going
on
and
we're
doing
our
best
to
try
to
you
know
speak
for
whatever
and
then
also
like
again.
There's
housing
concerns
that's
going
on
in
the
city,
and
it's
hitting
the
news.
I
think
we
should
be
discussing
it.
I
think
we
should
hold
a
special
session.
F
We
didn't
you
know,
relate
we're,
not
city,
council
members,
we're
not
getting
paid
to
do
this,
but
I'm
here
because
I
care-
and
so
are
you
guys.
So
I
think
though
we
should
hold
special
sessions.
You
know
what
we're
discussing,
how
to
fix
it.
What's
new,
what's
the
next
steps,
you
know:
what's
the
action?
What's
the
call
to
action,
because
again
now
we're
just
gonna,
keep
adding
agenda
items
and
we're
not
figuring
figuring
out?
What
worked
you
know?
What
are
we
doing?
F
So
I
think
that
we're
doing
a
good
job
as
a
committee,
but
I
would
like
to
see
more
action.
I
would
like
to
see
more
of
a
community
response
that
people
know
that
we're
here
you
know
we're
not
just
you
know
business
as
usual
and
talking
so
I
just
want
to
you
know
just
let
I
want
to
say
that.
So
I
appreciate
you.
Thank
you
so
much.
D
Thanks
greener
yeah,
it
sounds
like
I
mean,
I
think,
that's
a
great
idea.
I'm
seeing
a
lot
of
comments
on
the
chat
in
support
of
this.
So
kelly,
you're
gonna
take
a
look
at
how
we
could
get
involved
at
the
community
connections
conference
and
then
maybe
joey
or
you
know
queen
or
I
could
send
out
an
email
to
the
committee
once
we
know
what
the
options
are,
where
people
can
get
plugged
in
finding
finding
volunteers,
finding
people
who
are
willing
and
able
to
to
fill
in
those
slots.
F
D
You
guys
yeah
thank
you
yeah
and
thank
you
so
much
to
anja.
This
has
been
really
informative
and
yeah.
I
think,
since
some
of
these
protections
or
some
of
these
you
know
rights
are
the
enforcement
of
them
is
complaint
based,
I
think,
they're
only
as
good.
As
you
know,
the
extent
to
which
people
know.
You
know
that
the
rights
exist
that
they
that
they
can.
You
know,
seek
these
remedies
so
yeah.
D
L
Hi
everyone-
I
know
some
of
you-
I
don't
know
all
of
you,
I'm
mary
kachorek.
I
am
the
managing
attorney
with
mid
minnesota
legal
aid
in
our
minneapolis
office.
I
use
she
her
pronouns,
I'm
happy
to
be
here.
If
folks
have
questions,
I
think
feel
free
to
just
ask
them
as
I'm
going.
I
want
this
to
be
as
informative
and
helpful
as
possible.
So
if
you
have
a
question
as
I'm
going
along,
please
just
stop
me
and
we
can
talk
about
it.
L
Then
I
don't
have
a
powerpoint,
I'm
planning
to
just
talk
for
a
bit,
but
I
did
want
to
pop
two
websites
into
the
chat.
The
first
link
is
a
link
to
mid
minnesota
legal
aid
just
to
learn
more
about
us,
and
the
second
link
is
for
our
statewide
website
that
has
legal
information
for
the
public.
That's
lawhelpmn.org,
so
both
of
those
are
great.
You
should
check
them
out
if
you're
looking
for
information
about
legal
aid
providers
or
where
to
get
connected
with
lawyers
or
legal
clinics
law
help
mn
is
the
place
to
go.
L
So
I'll
start.
Just
by
giving
a
little
bit
of
background
about
legal
aid,
legal
aid
is
mid-minnesota.
Legal
aid
has
been
around
for
a
hundred
years,
we've
been
representing
renters
in
minneapolis
for
quite
a
while.
We
have
offices
in
saint
cloud
and
wilmer
as
well,
and
there
is
a
legal
aid
organization
in
all
87
counties
in
minnesota.
L
Our
practice
areas
in
addition
to
housing.
We
have
seniors
youth,
disability
benefits,
wage
theft,
consumer
tax,
immigration,
family
and
there's
always
one
or
two
that
I
forget.
But
the
idea
is
that
legal
aid
provides
like
a
holistic
approach
for
someone's
civil
legal
needs,
so
someone
walks
in
the
door
and
maybe
talks
about
an
issue
with
their
mfip
benefits.
Maybe
we'll
identify
a
housing
issue
as
well.
So
a
great
thing
about
legal
aid
is:
if
someone
has
a
housing
issue
and
has
another
issue,
that
is
a
simple
legal
issue.
L
Then
someone
from
legal
aid
can
can
probably
talk
with
them
about
them
or
help
with
that
as
well,
so
narrowing
in
on
our
housing
practice.
We
have
kind
of
three
core
areas
that
we
work
in.
The
first
is
in
health
and
safety
litigation.
We
will
bring
a
rent
escrow
case.
We
do
emergency
tenant
remedies,
actions
for
emergency
repair
cases
and
we
partner
with
community
partners
and
other
organizations
on
bringing
larger
scale
cases
to
secure
the
rights
that
tenants
have
to
live
in
a
healthy
and
safe
home.
L
The
second
bucket
is
housing
discrimination.
We
have
a
specific
project
within
our
office,
called
the
housing
discrimination
law
project
and
that
focuses
on
advocating
for
the
rights
of
folks
who
are
being
discriminated,
discriminated
against
in
their
housing
on
the
basis
of
race,
gender
disability,
all
of
the
protected
statuses
that
folks
hold
and
then
our
final
practice
area
is
in
eviction
defense
and
that's
what
I'm
going
to
spend
the
bulk
of
my
time
talking
about
today.
L
We
have
a
robust
eviction.
Defense
practice:
in
the
last
couple
years,
we've
represented
over
600
renters
in
eviction
cases,
that's
just
during
the
pandemic
pre-pandemic.
It
was
between
like
11
and
1200
a
year,
just
in
eviction
cases
in
our
minneapolis
office
for
hennepin
county.
There
are
a
couple
other
providers
that
folks
should
know
about.
So
we
are
mmla
legal
aid.
We
have
a
sister
organization
called
central
minnesota
legal
services.
They
receive
a
different
pot
of
funding
and
so
we're
technically
two
separate
organizations,
but
their
service
area
overlaps
with
ours.
L
L
L
L
Many
of
the
clients
we
help
live
in
subsidized
housing,
so
that
can
be.
That
can
mean
they're
renting
from
like
the
public
housing
authority
from
mpha.
It
can
mean
that
they
are
in
a
project-based
setting
that
they
have
a
section
8
housing
choice,
voucher
that
they're
able
to
take
from
property
to
property.
L
L
L
L
L
Sometimes
tenants
will
call
us
or
call
ars
or
cmls,
but
most
of
the
eviction
cases
that
we
end
up
representing
on
come
through
our
housing
court
project,
an
eviction
representation
project,
the
first
appearance,
calendars
right
now
are
all
happening
through
zoom,
so
pre-pandemic,
there
were
three
calendars
per
week
at
the
government
center.
It
was
a
mass
calendar
with
45
cases
per
calendar,
and
now
we
have
all
of
that
is
over
zoom.
L
So
we're
approaching
the
volume
of
cases
that
we
saw
pre-pandemic
the
first
appearance
calendar
is
still
a
mass
calendar
format.
Where
the
you
know,
the
housing
court
referee
will
talk
about
court
and
then
the
clerk
will
call
each
case
one
by
one
at
housing
court.
You
know,
legal
aid
has
attorneys
there.
Cmls
comes
the
hennepin
county.
Folks
come
it's
a
combination
of
lawyers
and
paralegals
and
together
we,
you
know,
do
income
screening
and
connect
folks
who
are
eligible
for
our
services
with
an
attorney
right
now.
L
Everybody
who
is
at
200
percent
of
the
federal
poverty
guidelines
and
below
is
receiving
a
free
lawyer.
So
right
now
we
have
the
capacity
to
be
able
to
meet
that
need
again
with
the
combination
of
legal
aid.
Also,
the
volunteer
lawyers
network
sends
attorneys
to
housing
court
as
well
that
take
cases
and
then
ars
through
hennepin
county
at
the
first
appearance
calendar.
There
are
four
outcomes
that
can
happen
for
a
tenant.
The
first
is
that
the
case
gets
settled
because
we're
seeing
mostly
non-payment
cases
that
would
normally
involve
a
payment
plan.
L
L
It's
really
open
to
the
parties
how
they
want
to
settle
the
case,
a
lot
of
the
cases
that
legal
aid
represents
on
end
up
getting
dismissed
at
the
first
appearance.
We
have
a
series
of
defenses
that
we
bring
in
eviction
cases,
things
like,
there's
no
rental
license
and
it's
a
non-payment
of
rent
case
or
the
landlord
didn't
serve.
The
court
papers
the
right
way,
and
so
the
court
doesn't
have
the
jurisdiction
to
hear
the
case
anymore
or
it's
the
not
the
right
party.
So
the
wrong
party
is
bringing
the
case
on
behalf
of
the
landlord.
L
The
third
option
that
is
happening
now
because
of
the
current
state
of
the
law
in
minnesota
is
that
if
a
person
has
a
pending
application
for
rental
assistance,
their
case
gets
stayed.
So
the
referee
will
put
a
pause
on
their
eviction
case
during
the
time
that
that
application
is
pending
and
even
though
the
statewide
rent
help
mn
program
closed
down
applications.
L
A
couple
weeks
ago,
hennepin
county
has
made
their
funding
through
the
era
money
available
to
tenants
at
the
first
appearance
calendar
still,
so
that
relief
of
being
able
to
apply
for
rental
assistance
at
housing
court
and
get
the
eviction
case
stayed
that
relief
is
still
available
to
renters
in
hennepin
county,
which
is
a
pretty
unique
protection
that
we
have
just
because
hennepin
county
hadn't
spent
all
of
its
era
funding.
Yet.
L
So
the
way
that
the
county
I
can
post
it,
but
the
way
that
the
county
is
doing
it
now
is
they're
having
they're
allowing
folks
to
apply
once
they're
in
housing
court,
so
they're
not
opening
up
the
applications
for
folks
before
there's
a
filing
or
before
court
they're
only
having
their
navigators
available
at
housing
court
to
protect
those
folks
who
are
facing
imminent
eviction.
I
can
still
look
for
a
link
to
the
counties
program.
Let
me
just
write
that
down.
L
E
Yeah,
this
is
bruce,
I
own
a
fair
number
of
properties.
I've
never
evicted
someone,
but
I
have
someone
who
is
behind
won't
talk
to
me.
Won't
talk
to
their
caseworker
doesn't
seem
capable
to
want
help,
and
I
don't
want
to
have
to
be
victor
and
that's
why
I
asked
the
question
about
the
county.
I
don't
want
to
have
to
spend
the
money
to
file
just
to
get
in
line
to
get.
I
mean
it's
ridiculous
right
to
spend
the
money
in
order.
E
L
L
So
I
would
call
the
tenant
resource
center.
I
think,
would
be
a
great
first
step
and
then
the
second
one
that
the
second
idea
that
comes
to
mind
would
be
just
that:
emergency
assistance,
emergency
general
assistance
funding
which
you
can
still
apply
for
before
court.
But
if
there's
a
communication
issue
with
the
tenant
again,
the
the
tenant
resource
center
is
a
great
place
for
that.
So
I
can
put
that
into
the
chat
too.
L
So
if
things
don't
settle
out,
get
dismissed
or
stayed,
the
last
option
is
for
things
to
go
to
a
court
trial
and
a
court
trial
is
when
the
tenants
come
back
and
the
landlords
come
back
on
a
separate
court
date
and
each
side
tells
their
side
of
the
story.
So
the
landlord
explains
the
reasons
why
the
tenant
should
be
evicted.
The
tenant
explains
the
reasons
why
they
shouldn't
be
evicted
and
then
the
housing
court
referee
makes
a
decision
about
what
happens
in
the
case.
L
L
L
So
if
there
is
a
renter
in
minneapolis
who
has
a
non-payment
of
rent
case
and
the
landlord
didn't,
do
the
pre-filing
notice,
the
housing
court
referees
are
dismissing
those
cases
and
requiring
the
landlord
to
give
the
notice
and
start
again
and
I've
seen
it
where
if
the
tenant
doesn't
even
show
up
to
court,
the
referees
are
asking
that
question
of
all
of
the
landlords.
Regardless
of
whether
you
know
a
lawyer,
is
there
to
to
ask
that,
so
that
protection
is
having
an
effect
on
folks
lives,
which
is
great
to
see
that
that
policy?
L
So
you
know
it's
routine,
for
the
statewide
rent,
help
for
things
for
applications
to
take
months
before
they
can
get
processed,
and
you
know
that's
a
burden
on
tenants
and
it's
a
burden
on
landlords
and
the
advocacy
steps
that
we
do
at
legal
aid
are
making
sure
that
renters
have
all
the
documentation
into
the
program.
And
if
the
program
you
know,
has
questions
about
something
that
we're
able
to
to
get
the
information
that
we
can
to
get
that
application
processed
and
some
of
the
cases
in
hennepin
county.
L
The
referees
are
making
confidential
while
they're
being
stayed-
and
this
is
great
because
it
means
that
if
a
tenant
looks
for
alternative
housing
in
the
meantime
that
the
case
doesn't
show
up
on
their
rental
history.
Or
if
someone
looks
into
the
court
system,
they
won't
be
able
to
see
the
case.
The
case.
It's
not
like
fully
expunged
like
the
case,
isn't
totally
deleted
and
if
someone
files
something
into
the
case,
the
record
will
appear
again.
L
But
in
the
meantime,
that's
providing
a
great
protection
for
renters
who
want
to
have
an
active
housing
search,
and
it's
really
a
win-win.
For
landlords
too.
To
have
these
cases
be
made
confidential
in
the
meantime,
because
it
means
that
that
tenant
can
look
for
alternative
housing
and
you
know
maybe
move
to
a
unit,
that's
more
affordable
or
better
fits
their
needs.
L
I
think
what
I'll
do
is
just
talk
super
briefly
about
the
impact
that
having
a
lawyer
from
legal
aid
can
have
on
a
case
legal
aid
or
volunteer
lawyers
for
tenants.
We
will
win
or
settle
a
case
96
of
the
time.
That's
compared
to
62
for
folks
who
don't
have
an
attorney
represented,
tenants
are
twice
as
likely
to
stay
in
their
homes.
L
If
a
lawyer
is
representing
a
tenant,
they're
80
percent
80
of
the
time
they
can
get
that
eviction
record
expunged,
and
if
there
isn't
a
lawyer,
our
data
shows
that
only
six
percent
of
tenants
get
that
eviction
record
expunged.
So
the
you
know,
the
impact
that
we
have
is
pretty
significant.
We
are
excited
to
partner
with
the
city
to
be
able
to
do
this,
representation,
work
and
yeah.
L
L
F
So
I'm
following
a
story
right
now
in
dc,
and
it's
related
to
what
you
were
saying
about.
You
know
the
expungements
and
stuff,
so
they
have
a
bill
going
on.
It's
called
the
bill,
eviction
record
ceiling
authority
and
fairness
and
renting,
and
so
it
seals
records
to
prohibit
discrimination
in
housing
for
the
renter,
and
I
don't
want
to
go
all
through
it,
but
it's
a
lot,
but
it's
actually
really
good,
but
they
found
that
they,
you
know,
can
seal
the
tenant's
eviction
record
so
that
they
can
continue
to
find
housing.
L
L
F
No,
you
answered
it.
I
I
just
thought
it
was
some
really
good
research
and
then
into
that.
Following
of
that
research,
they
found
that
the
landlords
in
dc
were
making
a
profit
off
of
application
fees
and
they
kind
of
was
you
know
doing
this
thing
operation
where
they
were.
You
know
charging
this
really
ridiculous
amount
for,
like
say
you
say
in
the
condo
building,
they
were
putting
it
on
the
market
as
if
it
was
vacant,
and
then
they
were
charging
this
fee,
but
then
they
went
somehow
back
to
the
screening
process
of
tennis.
F
K
Yes,
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
mary
for
that
that
informative
information,
I
hope
that
there
are
ways
that
we
can
get
some
of
that
information.
I
think
that
the
data
collection
for
evictions
and
the
process
is
great
to
have.
I
know
that
a
while
back
there
were
information
that
had
not
been
assimilated
to
the
community.
K
That
evictions,
when
they
have
been
settled,
should
only
go
on
a
person's
housing
record.
This
eviction
process
should
only
go
on
the
housing
record
for
one
year.
I
think
that
that
information
was
released
from
the
state,
and
I
don't
know
if
that
is
still
current,
where
they
can
only
put
an
eviction
on
you
for
one
year.
I
do
have
the
document.
K
K
K
K
L
Yeah,
so
legal
aid
has
been
helping
with
renters
who
have
that
exact
problem
where
a
landlord
starts
billing
their
utilities
and
calling
it
rent
and
then
folks
don't
know
what
their
rent
is
going
to
be
every
month
and
then
folks,
who
are
on
a
set
income,
aren't
able
to
make
that
payment
we've
seen
landlords
who
are
doing
this
to
finance
like
a
solar
garden
on
the
top
of
a
building.
That's
you
know,
one
of
the
the
landlords
that
we
are
have
a
case
against
now
has
been
putting
the
charges.
L
For
you
know
this
green
energy,
which
is
great
you
know,
like
solar
gardens,
are
great,
but
tenants
shouldn't
have
to
be
the
ones
to
pay
for
it.
That
should
be
on
the
landlord,
and
you
know
the
folks
that
we're
helping
are
on
section
eight
like
they
can't
afford
these
to
finance
these
building
improvements,
and
they
shouldn't
have
to
the
landlord
if
they
want
to
be
a
utility
if
they
want
the
utilities
to
go
through
the
landlord.
There
are
super
specific
rules
that
they
have
to
follow
and
a
lot
of
times
landlords.
L
Don't
do
it
correctly
if
it
is
a
duplex
or
triplex
or
if
it's
a
building
that
uses
like
a
multi-unit
building
like
one
of
the
larger
ones.
There
are
really
specific
rules
that
the
law
says
about
how
they
can
calculate
that
billing.
What
notice
they
have
to
give
to
tenants
so
tenants
know
kind
of
what
their
bill
is
going
to
be
and
no
can
budget
for
it
and
the
penalties
for
landlords
who
don't
follow.
L
You
know
to
qualify
for
programs
for
utility
relief
like
help
paying
their
bills
so
long-winded
way
of
saying,
like
yes,
legal
aid
for
sure
wants
to
talk
to
those
tenants.
It's
an
issue
we're
already
working
on.
We
have
a
an
attorney
in-house
who's
like
the
statewide
expert
on
these
things,
so
I
will
put
our
I
will
put
our
intake
number
in
the
chat
right
now.
G
L
Yeah
I
just
spoke
with
someone
from
the
county
earlier
today
on
that
question
and
she
said
that
the
they
anticipate
having
it
available
just
in
this
limited
capacity
for
renters,
who
are
in
housing
court
facing
imminent
eviction
that
they're,
with
the
way
that
they're
running
that
program.
Now
they
anticipate
having
those
funds
through
december
of
2022.,
so
they've
limited
it
to,
I
think,
50
percent
ami
maybe-
and
she
was
thinking
it
might
be-
they
might
adjust
that
too.
G
L
Yeah,
I
think
you
know
the
default
rate
has
kind
of
fluctuated
the
during
the
pandemic.
The
court
was
saying
that
you
know
it
was
actually
better
than
it
was
pre-pandemic,
which
in
some
ways
makes
sense,
because,
instead
of
having
the
burden
of
going
down
to
the
government
center
paying
for
parking,
you
know
folks
are
able
to
do
it
from
their
phone
or
from
their.
You
know,
device
to
to
get
the
zoom
video
access.
L
You
know
that's
a
choice
that
the
courts
are
making
to
to
get
those
cases
called
and
it
sucks,
because
sometimes
people
show
up
late
and
then
their
case
has
already
been
called.
And
then
we
have
to
file
a
paper
into
the
case
and
get
it
reopened.
And
so
I
don't
know
there.
There
are
definitely
defaults
in
every
calendar
and
it's
it's.
You
know
the
same
issue
that
it
was
when
we
were
in
person
that
folks
just
don't
come.
G
And
then
my
last
question
is
when
you
were
talking
about
that
like
default,
that
the
eviction
goes
on
the
record
and
that
it's
on
the
tenant
to
get
that
removed
regardless
of
the
judgment,
is
that
as
a
state
controlled
issue,
could
this
city?
Do
it
different
like
how
who
decides
on
that
like
how
that
process
works
so.
L
L
The
you
know
the
one
year
time
frame
is
like
technically,
if
an
eviction
case
happens
and
there's
no
money
judgment
at
the
end,
like
the
court
doesn't
say
you
know,
this
person
knows
this
person
money
after
a
year.
The
court's
own
policy
says
that
those
cases
should
be
deleted
and
expunged
and
the
court
doesn't
do
that
unless
the
tenant
asks
for
it.
L
So
I
mean
the
part
of
it
is
advocacy
with
the
court
system
to
say
like
follow
your
own
policies,
you
know,
maybe
they
were
doing
it
or
maybe
they've
changed
that
practice.
But
you
know,
and
my
last
update
is
that
they
would
periodically-
you
know
sometimes
clear
out
the
old
ones,
but
they
weren't
adhering
to
this
one-year
time
frame
that
they
had
committed
to
in
their
like
official
retention
schedule
thing
yeah,
and
I
think
that
that
could
be.
L
You
know
the
courts
have
the
authority
to
manage
their
their
own
cases,
and
so,
if
a
court
wanted
to
make
all
eviction
cases
confidential
at
filing
the
court,
I
would
argue,
has
the
power
to
do
that
because
they
have
the
power
to
manage
how
they
keep
their
own
records.
You
know
they
have
the
power
to
decide
we're
gonna,
you
know,
delete
old
eviction
cases
after
a
year.
They
could,
you
know,
do
the
same
thing
on
the
front.
End
too.
L
It
sucks,
because
you
know
minneapolis
has
done
what
it
can
for
how
landlords
can
look
at
those
files
and
what
they
can
consider
and
can't
consider
when
they're
looking
at
a
prospective
tenant,
but
the
you
know
it
comes
down
to
like
state
law
and
how
the
courts
work
to
to
determine
what
shows
up.
If
someone
looks
for
a
case
or
looks
for
a
tenant
in
the
court
system,
records.
D
I
G
There's
two
parts
of
the
initiative
and
the
first
is
rental
assistance
and
that's
ongoing
rental
assistance
for
families
who
are
currently
homeless,
and
it's
three
years
of
support.
The
ymca
provides
wrap
around
services
for
those
families,
so
they
pay
similar
to
what,
like
a
section,
eight
voucher,
you
know,
30
to
40
percent
of
their
income,
goes
toward
their
rent
and
then
they're
working
on
sort
of
a
transition
plan.
For
after
that
three
years
we
did
do
an
extension
fourth
year
for
families
because
of
covid
and
everything
that
happened
with
clovid.
G
It's
available.
Both
both
parts
of
the
initiative
are
available
to
19
different
schools.
Now,
actually,
I
need
to
update
this.
I'm
sorry.
We
took
anderson
off
and
we
added
marcy
and
we
also
added
bancroft.
So
those
are
two
additions
to
what
this
chart
is.
Showing
I'm
going
to
share
this
with
you
or
or
hopefully,
katie
or
or
joey
can
share
this
with
you
all
so
that
you
can,
if
you
have
questions
or
want
to
look
at
it
more
deeply,
you
certainly
can.
G
Because
we
do
have
to
prioritize
here's
just
a
little
summary
of
how
we
do
that.
So
if
we
have
two
different
families
and
we
have
one
opening-
we
go
through
a
screening
for
sort
of
who
to
prioritize
first
for
that
referral.
So
we're
looking
at
the
academic
needs
of
the
student,
we're
looking
at
housing,
history
and
history
of
homelessness
and
then
we're
using
that
to
prioritize
who
to
refer
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
a
really
important
gap
that
this
program
fills.
Is
we
do
not?
G
We
use
the
education
definition
of
homeless,
meaning
families
who
are
in
motels
or
families
who
are
couch
hopping
going
place
to
place
are
considered
for
this
program,
where
a
lot
of
our
homeless
response
system
does
not
count
those
students
as
homeless,
and
so
I
think
it
is
meeting
a
really
important
need
in
our
community.
So
of
those
that
we've
referred
only
about
30
32
of
families
would
actually
have
qualified
for
our
our
traditional
housing
response
system
through
coordinated
entry.
G
I'm
sure
you
all
know
that
school
is
not
in
session
in
minneapolis
public
schools
right
now
because
of
the
teachers
strike,
and
so
social
workers
are
our
point
of
referral
for
both
of
these
initiatives.
So
that
is
one
thing
that
we
are
looking
at,
that
if
this
extends
much
longer
we're
going
to
have
to
have
an
alternative
way
to
refer
families.
I
really
hope
that
doesn't
happen
and
that
that
we
get
back
in
session
soon,
but
we
have
our
eye
on
coming
up
with
a
different
plan.
G
So
we
definitely
wouldn't
be
getting
referrals
right
now
with
social
workers
being
being
on
strike,
and
I
think
that
is
then
I'm
there's
some
other
things
that
I'm
just
gonna
share
when
you
get
the
powerpoint,
but
those
were
the
things
that
I
wanted
to
actually
show
you
all
and
I'll
just
pause.
If
anyone
has
questions
or
thoughts.
B
G
No,
we
have
not,
we,
our
numbers
are
actually
lower
than
they
have
been.
They
are
increasing
right
now,
just
like
our
shelter
numbers
are
increasing,
so
we
do
see
kind
of
a
we're
aligning
with
what
we're
seeing
in
shelters
as
shelter
numbers
are
increasing,
so
are
our
doubled
up,
couchshopping
motel
numbers,
but
no,
we
are
still
below
where
we
would
traditionally
be
pre-covered.
G
I
I
think
that
is
part
of
it.
I
think
that's
probably
the
main
part
of
it.
I
also
know
that
during
covid
we
lost
a
lot
of
students
and
we
weren't
identifying
students,
and
so
that's
that's
the
part
that
I
don't
have.
I
don't
know
quite
as
much
of
we
had
so
much
movement
during
covid
with
our
families
with
high
mobility,
and
we
were
missing
kids
and
so
there's
there's
some
concern
about
that
too.
G
Yeah,
that's
a
good
question.
I
I
think,
wrap
around
help.
I
I
worked
at
simpson
for
a
long
time
and
provide
a
lot
of
of
the
similar
resources
that
the
ymca
has
been
providing,
and
I
will
say
that
a
lot
of
it
depends
on
sort
of
where
the
family's
at
and
what
they're
able
to
take
in.
So
there's
there's
that
factor
we
also.
G
So
in
general,
I
would
say
it's
working
great
where
we
hit
challenges
are
where
we
do
have
families
that
maybe
aren't
able
to
take
advantage
of
some
of
the
support
that's
available
and
we
also
have
had
challenges
with
staff
capacity.
So
hiring,
as
you
all
know,
in
a
lot
of
different
areas,
has
been
really
challenging.
So
we've
had
some
openings
that
have
lasted
longer
than
we
would
have
hoped,
and
so
that
has
created
some
challenges
around
that
wraparound
support.
G
G
G
F
And
so
it
might
be
a
little
bit.
I
don't
know
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
saying
it
correctly.
So
do
this?
Do
the
stable
home,
stable
school
have
anything
to
do
with
the
rezoning
of
the
schools
like
so
you
could
you
said
earlier
that
you
lost
some
kids,
so
I'm
curious
if
those
same
kids
do
lost,
because
the
district
put
them
in
different
zones.
G
So
I'll
I'll
try
to
answer,
but
if
I'm
not
getting
at
what
you're
asking
just.
Let
me
know
so
we
when,
when
the
redesign
happened,
there
were
a
lot
of
students
that
switched
schools
and
so
we
sort
of
within
stable
homes.
We
worked
with
every
family
to
to
make
a
plan,
so
some
some
students
maybe
moved
like,
were
when
their
zone
changed.
Maybe
they
were
no
longer
in
a
stable
home,
stable
school
site,
but
we
kept
those
families,
even
if
they
weren't
in
a
stable
home,
stable
school
site.
G
I
think
you
also
might
have
been
referencing
like
when,
like
students
that
we
lost
in
the
identification
process
and
that's
more
about
the
mobility
that
we
saw
in
the
pandemic,
so
students
who
maybe
like
stayed
mps
students
but
were
living
in
a
different
state
at
the
time
because
of
a
not
wanting
to
come
into
shelter
and
and
needing
to
double
up
with
somebody
in
a
different
state.
So
those
are
students
that
then
we
would
have
lost
now
that
we're
back
in
session.
F
D
All
right,
so
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
the
agenda.
We
are.
We
have
a
few
yeah.
We
have
a
few
meeting
a
few
meeting
topic
ideas
for
the
coming
meetings.
I
got
an
email
from
a
committee
member
there's,
some
good
questions
about
minneapolis,
2040
housing
goals
and
what
progress
has
been
made.
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
city
staff
to
set
up
the
right
presenters
to
to
talk
about
that.
D
F
F
Does
it
some
of
that
stuff
is
just
reprinted
and
I
would
like
to
see
like
the
winter
paint
the
rent
has
ordinance.
You
know
stuff
on
there,
but
yeah.
I
would
like
to
see
if
we
can
get
keith
ellison
to
probably
you
know,
update
us
on
what's
going
on
within
housing,
and
then
you
know
seeing
his
ideas
on
how
what
things
he
can
help
as
well
on
his
hands.
I
think
having
him
here
will
be
nice
too.
