sweeping encampments especially when no legal alternative for residence exists is a form of brutality
limit the number of people per home to a reasonable level without using the Antiquated family model
one mechanism of several is through discriminatory occupancy limits that restrict access to housing and make the situation of many thousands of us illegal
what they decline to acknowledge is the ways that shared housing allows for living out the values we claim to hold
determine what occupancy limits make sense in the University Town
we are losing more and more family homes to the lucrative often predatory student rental housing market

whether the subject property meets the criteria for landmark designation
if designated this would be our 202nd individual Landmark the process is pretty straightforward
affordable housing is not exempt although there is some question that's been raised about whether or not under state law the fee would apply to affordable housing units
and then um the exemption for affordable housing um for BHP would that include other affordable housing
we go back and forth with Boulder housing Partners on what they do have to pay and what they don't have to pay
a program like newer is needed now more than ever to prevent eviction for people regardless of age documentation status
adding rental assistance to the newer initiative will not only make a difference in their lives
any exemption on taxes or fees for the city affordable housing programs
we would like to be part of the discussion for eviction prevention and not consider the other side of it
creating a revenue Source an annual charge on rental units
uh BHP our Housing Authority receives uh actually millions of dollars of funding from the city
the affordable housing um linkage fee and and the cash and L payments all go through the city
the city of Boulder doesn't really control the boulder housing Partners organization
overall our Revenue still is down in June for a lot of our funds the general fund as you can see is down
the majority of the increase related to capital projects that we had
