Many days, over 100 new Minnesota families are evicted. This is a lose-lose for the whole community: landlords are out the rent, and renters will have a hard time finding housing for many years to come with an eviction record. This is a problem that is easy to solve: $$ for ERA

📈 With the end of #RentHelpMN, eviction filings in Minnesota are soaring. Elected leaders must act urgently to prevent massive displacement in cities statewide and keep thousands of families in their homes. #MNLeg 🔊 Take action: secure.everyaction.com/m4Bt0…

One of the best things I get to do as a @EJW_org fellow at @HsngJustice thanks to my sponsor @Target is speak in support legislation that help MN families seeking housing. Did you know that landlords can choose not to rent to you because you have a voucher? Let’s change that
.@STomenes of @HsngJustice in support of HF835's Source of Income Protections:
"This legislation protects individuals and families utilizing a voucher to find housing ... This most impacts the elderly, the disabled, domestic violence victims, and low income families" #mnleg

📰 Housing Justice Center is proud to represent tenants at Victoria Townhomes who have sued their landlord for collecting rent without holding a valid rental license and failing to provide housing that meets city code.

Yesterday as part of my @EJW_org fellowship at @HsngJustice, I was lucky to attend a listening session at Brooklyn Center with local landlords and housing advocates @Africancareer and @HOME_Line to discuss #justcause and #evictionfilingnotice to promote housing stability 🏡
And this is why ads that say “section 8 need not apply” make me crazy

📰 HJC attorney Jim Poradek and @legal_aid_MN attorney Luke Grundman: "The pay-to-defend requirement has turned Minnesota eviction actions into a one-way street flowing straight toward eviction; due process has become a meaningless promise to the poor."

We recently partnered with @FHFund to publish a report examining methods & systems used by landlords to screen & select tenants. hjcmn.org/2021/03/24/opening…

We (@Homes4AllMN, @followmhp and @HsngJustice) have a bill to prohibit source of income discrimination making its way through the #mnleg. Let's get this done this year!
As we work to achieve @POTUS Biden’s promise of universal housing vouchers, we must enact and enforce a nat’l prohibition on “source of income” discrimination and other needed improvements to the voucher program. Here’s why.

Did you know the Minnesota legislature is considering a bill which ends the eviction moratorium? You should read the bill and contact your representatives about your thoughts. I submitted my (first ever) written testimony to a Minnesota Senate committee!: senate.mn/committees/2021-20…
