📰 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 (@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.

903k a unit to create housing at the same rents as market rate housing. Government manifests its values through where it puts its resources. This is embarrassing when you look at it through a racial equity lens and financially foolish.
At over $900,000 per unit to build, this will be the most expensive affordable housing development in Minnesota history. Hennepin County voted 4-3 today to issue the necessary bonds for the project to move forward. minnesotareformer.com/2020/1… via @mnreformer
