Origin

(November 19, 2025) Letter from the Housing Rights Advisory Committee

Summary

At its meeting on November 19, 2025 the Housing Rights Advisory Committee considered Item HS8.2.

Summary from the Housing Rights Advisory Committee:

We are writing to recommend ways that the City can use its maximum available resources in the 2026 Budget to progressively advance the right to adequate housing. Our recommendations focus on supports for people in greatest need (i.e., those who are unhoused and those experiencing complex health challenges), renters at risk of evictions, and people who need help gaining access to affordable rental housing. We also suggest ways that the City can improve how it reports on investments in housing and homelessness programs.
