City Council will be voting on amendments to the 2023 Budget on Monday October 31st starting at 3:30pm. You can go there in person to 1437 Bannock st or you can watch live at this link

Among the amendments being voted on are the 7 budget proposals we in HAND submitted which Councilwoman CdeBaca will be proposing along with a number of other proposals. Our proposals move money from police and jails into housing & health resources to increase by 1/3 the number of very low-income (under 30%AMI) housing units (from 392 to 592), triple the number of hotels converted to housing (from 2 to 6), & establish/ improve public health infrastructure for sanitation in our City (including water fountains, bathrooms, & showers).

City Council members need to hear from you before Monday about the need for your tax dollars to be used for housing & health, not police & jails! Please email your council person and ask for their support on these budget proposals! See info below…
